Pets in workplace please workers may reduce stress
Many employees are in favor of having pets in their workplace and believe they help reduce stress and improve their health, a recent study suggests.
“The response was positive,” Dr. Meredith Wells told Reuters health. “People thought pets reduced stress, and improved job satisfaction.”
Other studies have found that pets can reduce stress and blood pressure levels for children, old adults, and sick patients, “but few studies have examined the effect of pets in the workplace,” Wells said.
Employees reported that pets in workplace are good for business.
Not everyone was entirely enthusiastic. Some drawbacks reported were noise from barking, hair on the floor. There was also some concern that customers may be afraid of the animal.
However, these responses were in the minority. “When we asked what were the drawbacks, the most common response was, “There aren’t any,” Wells said.
Wells said she would encourage companies to experiment with a pet police. “I would cautiously recommend it to people, saying they would give it a try,” she said. “However, it may not be very good for every company.”
60. It seemed that ______ were in favor of having pets in their workplace.
A. all of the employees B. quite a few of the employees
C. very few of the employees D. only a few of the employees
61. It is wrong to say that pets will help __________.
A. to reduce job satisfaction B. to improve one’s health
C. to reduce blood pressure D. to reduce one’s stress
62. Not everyone was entirely enthusiastic. That means ________.
A. some people didn’t like the idea B. not everyone fully understood the idea
C. many people were not in favor of the idea D. very few people liked the idea
63. Which of the following word has the same meaning as “drawback”
A. mistake B. wrong C. fault D. problem
C
I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约) mean what they say . I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life , not a desire of the next promotion (提升), the bigger paycheck , the larger house .
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure (休闲) , it is work . Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all . And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all:
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally .And I tried to do that , in part , by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness , because if you do , you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be lived .
64. The best title of this passage probably is________.
A. Love your friends B. Live a real life
C. Don’t waste time D. Be a good mother and wife
65. How did the author form her view of life
A. Through social experience. B. By learning from her friends.
C.Through an unfortunate experience . D. From her children and husband .
66. By the underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live” in the fifth paragraph , the author really means that people tend to_______.
A. make a living rather than live a real life B. work rather than enjoy life
C. forget the most important lessons in life D. waste a lot in life
67. It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A. the author is a success in personal life
B. the author didn’t try her best to work well
C. the author spent all her time caring for her children
D. the author likes traveling very much

Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many scholars would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving society. The basic question, however, is : How does society want or need to be served
In recent years, universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain “ivory towers” of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases forced to provide more courses which provide graduates with the technical skills which are commercially useful. If Aristotle wanted to work in a university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.
A post—industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to keep and develop its economic growth but “man”, as the Bible says, “does not live by bread alone.” Besides requiring medical and social services which do not directly be given to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and art. In these cost—sensible times, it has even been pointed out in being reasonable for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners. A successful musical, for example, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.
72. Some people believe that traditional education .
A. somewhat fails to meet the social needs B. serves the society very well
C. stresses teaching too much D. stresses research too much
73. We can infer from the passage that .
A. the governments hold back the college education
B. the society is not satisfied with the present college education
C. teachers are always forced to do what they don’t like to do
D. teachers dislike teaching commercially useful courses
74. The Aristotle example is used to make the point that .
A. universities in the UK have produced too many good—for—nothing graduates
B. philosophy is no longer useful as it is difficult to understand
C. it is advisable for today’s philosophers to know computer science
D. education should serve the social needs
75. The author believes that .
A. the increase of economy is the only aim of today’s society
B. art is useful only when it is made into a money earner
C. both technical skills and the arts meet the society’s needs
D. universities should not provide literature or art courses

Pets in workplace please workers may reduce stress
Many employees are in favor of having pets in their workplace and believe they help reduce stress and improve their health, a recent study suggests.
“The response was positive,” Dr. Meredith Wells told Reuters health. “People thought pets reduced stress, and improved job satisfaction.”
Other studies have found that pets can reduce stress and blood pressure levels for children, old adults, and sick patients, “but few studies have examined the effect of pets in the workplace,” Wells said.
Employees reported that pets in workplace are good for business.
Not everyone was entirely enthusiastic. Some drawbacks reported were noise from barking, hair on the floor. There was also some concern that customers may be afraid of the animal.
However, these responses were in the minority. “When we asked what were the drawbacks, the most common response was, “There aren’t any,” Wells said.
Wells said she would encourage companies to experiment with a pet police. “I would cautiously recommend it to people, saying they would give it a try,” she said. “However, it may not be very good for every company.”
60. It seemed that ______ were in favor of having pets in their workplace.
A. all of the employees B. quite a few of the employees
C. very few of the employees D. only a few of the employees
61. It is wrong to say that pets will help __________.
A. to reduce job satisfaction B. to improve one’s health
C. to reduce blood pressure D. to reduce one’s stress
62. Not everyone was entirely enthusiastic. That means ________.
A. some people didn’t like the idea B. not everyone fully understood the idea
C. many people were not in favor of the idea D. very few people liked the idea
63. Which of the following word has the same meaning as “drawback”
A. mistake B. wrong C. fault D. problem
C
I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约) mean what they say . I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life , not a desire of the next promotion (提升), the bigger paycheck , the larger house .
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure (休闲) , it is work . Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all . And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all:
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally .And I tried to do that , in part , by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness , because if you do , you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be lived .
64. The best title of this passage probably is________.
A. Love your friends B. Live a real life
C. Don’t waste time D. Be a good mother and wife
65. How did the author form her view of life
A. Through social experience. B. By learning from her friends.
C.Through an unfortunate experience . D. From her children and husband .
66. By the underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live” in the fifth paragraph , the author really means that people tend to_______.
A. make a living rather than live a real life B. work rather than enjoy life
C. forget the most important lessons in life D. waste a lot in life
67. It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A. the author is a success in personal life
B. the author didn’t try her best to work well
C. the author spent all her time caring for her children
D. the author likes traveling very much

Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many scholars would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving society. The basic question, however, is : How does society want or need to be served
In recent years, universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain “ivory towers” of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases forced to provide more courses which provide graduates with the technical skills which are commercially useful. If Aristotle wanted to work in a university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.
A post—industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to keep and develop its economic growth but “man”, as the Bible says, “does not live by bread alone.” Besides requiring medical and social services which do not directly be given to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and art. In these cost—sensible times, it has even been pointed out in being reasonable for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners. A successful musical, for example, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.
72. Some people believe that traditional education .
A. somewhat fails to meet the social needs B. serves the society very well
C. stresses teaching too much D. stresses research too much
73. We can infer from the passage that .
A. the governments hold back the college education
B. the society is not satisfied with the present college education
C. teachers are always forced to do what they don’t like to do
D. teachers dislike teaching commercially useful courses
74. The Aristotle example is used to make the point that .
A. universities in the UK have produced too many good—for—nothing graduates
B. philosophy is no longer useful as it is difficult to understand
C. it is advisable for today’s philosophers to know computer science
D. education should serve the social needs
75. The author believes that .
A. the increase of economy is the only aim of today’s society
B. art is useful only when it is made into a money earner
C. both technical skills and the arts meet the society’s needs
D. universities should not provide literature or art courses
