[問答題]How to Deal With Pressure?

　　With the current mood of global___41___(certain) and an___42___(economy) recession, people are likely to suffer from increased stress, depression and anxiety. These___43___(psychology) symptoms, in a new twist to the old saying of “mind over matter”, can lead to actual physical problems.

　　The mind and the body are___44___(integrate) system. It’s like a web. If one part is___45___(disturb), it will directly or indirectly,affect another part. Hence, psychological and emotional reactions will trigger physical responses.

　　When a person feels a threat to his well-being,the brain reacts by___46___(release) chemicals. For example, the adrenal gland(腎上腺)in the brain may release adrenaline (腎上腺素)which prepares the body to respond to physical threats. The brain’s neuro-chemistry programs a person to react in one of the classic ways: fight, flight or fright.

　　Are you sleeping well? Are you eating well? Are you working or studying well? Any mental health problem would affect these three areas of behavior.

Go jogging. You will be___49___( concentrate)on doing something. There is a target to be___50___( achieve) and will occupy your mind. Go Karaoke singing and dancing with friends. The worst thing to do is to sit at home and think.

　　參考答案：

　　41.答案為uncertainty

　　解析為本句空白處放在形容詞global后需填入名詞用global來修飾，根據and之后的名詞recession(經濟衰退，不景氣)，將提示詞形容詞certain改成名詞certainty再加上否定前綴un-構成uncertainty填入即可。

　　42.答案為economic

　　解析為本句空白處放在名詞recession前提示需填入形容詞。因此，將提示詞名詞economy改成形容詞economic填入即可。

　　43.答案為psychological

　　解析為本句空白處放在名詞symptoms之前提示需填入形容詞修飾該名詞。因此，將提示詞名詞psychology改成形容詞psychological填入空白處即可。

　　44.答案為integrated

　　解析為本句空白處放在名詞system前提示需填入形容詞來修飾該名詞，提示詞動詞integrate的過去分詞integrated(完整的，一體的)符合語境。因此，將integrated填入空白處即可。

　　45.答案為disturbed

　　解析為本句空白處放在be動詞is之后，語境為：身體的一部分一旦發(fā)生紊亂，會直接或間接地影響身體的其他部分。由于名詞part和動詞disturb屬被動關系，可以判斷空白處應使用被動語態(tài)。因此，將提示詞動詞disturb改成過去分詞disturbed填入空白處即可。

　　46.答案為releasing

　　解析為本句空白處放在介詞by后面，提示詞動詞release需變形填入。因此，將動詞release(釋放)改成現(xiàn)在分詞形式releasing填入即可。

　　47.答案為anxiety

　　解析為本句空白處放在and之后提示需填入和and之前的詞詞性相同的詞。and之前是名詞stress，另外不難看出該空白在句中和stress一起作謂語deal with的賓語。因此，將形容詞anxious改成名詞anxiety(焦慮)填入即可。

　　48.答案為religion

　　解析為本句空白處放在動詞短語turn to之后作turn to的賓語，提示需用名詞。因此，將提示詞形容詞religious改成名詞religion填入空白處即可。turn to表示“求助于”。

　　49.答案為concentrating

　　解析為觀察本句謂語部分不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，本句旨在考查將來進行時這個時態(tài)，因此，將提示詞動詞concentrate改成現(xiàn)在分詞concentrating填入空白處即可。

　　50.答案為achieved

　　解析為本句空白處放在be動詞之后，根據句法可知，不定式to be加上空白處一起充當名詞target的定語。由于名詞target和動詞 achieve屬被動關系，因此，將提示詞動詞achieve改成過去分詞achieved修飾target。

　　They Say Ireland's the Best

　　Ireland is the best place in the world to live for 2005 , according to a life quality ranking(排名)

　　that appeared in Britain's Economist magazine last week.

　　The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being.

　　The index of 111 countries uses data on incomes, health，unemployment, climate, political stability ,job security , gender(性別) equality as well as what the magazine calls “freedom, family and community life".

　　Despite the bad weather , troubled health service ，traffic congestion(擁擠) , gender inequality ,and the high cost of living , Ireland scored an impressive 8. 33 points out of 10.

　　That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland , which managed8.07. Zimbabwe troubled by political insecurity and hunger，is rated the gloomiest(最差的) ,picking up only 3. 89 points.

　　“Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued," the report said,

　　some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown in traditional institutions

　　and family values in part take away from a positive impact.”

　　“Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old , such as stable family and community life.”

　　The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do, and that its

　　findings would have their critics.

　　No.2 on the list is Switzerland. The other nations in the top 10 are Norway , Luxembourg , Sweden，Australia , Iceland , Italy , Denmark and Spain.

　　The UK is positioned at No. 29 , a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family

　　breakdown recorded in official statistics. The US，which has the second highest per capita GDP after Luxembourg, took the 13th place in the survey. China was in the lower half of the league at 60th.

　　Cost of living in Ireland is pretty high.

　　[問答題]Searching for Smiles

　　Ask most people anywhere in the world what they want out of life and the reply will probably be："to be happy. "Ed Deiner, an American psychology professor, has spent his whole professional life studying what makes people happy, comparing levels of happiness between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy ourselves.

　　Many people would say that this question does not need an answer. But Professor Deiner has one anyway. "If you’re a cheerful, happy person, your marriage is more likely to last, and you’re more likely to make money and be successful at your job. On average, happy people have stronger immune systems, and there is some evidence that they live longer."

　　So who are the world s happiest people? It depends on how the word is defined. There is individual happiness, the sense of joy we get when we do something we like. But there is also the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of how we behave. According to Professor Deiner, the Western world pursues individual happiness while Asia prefers mutual satisfaction.

　　“In the West, the individualistic culture means that your mood matters much more than it does in the East. People ask themselves, what can I do that’s fun or interesting? They become unhappy when they cant do any of these things. If you ask people from Japan or China if they are happy, they tend to look at what has gone wrong in their lives. If not much has gone wrong, then they are satisfied.”

　　People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries had the happiest culture, Professor Deiner found. “The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame. Hispanic cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others.”

　　Income also made a big difference to people's happiness, but only at the lowest levels.

　　Average income earners in the US were much happier than people in poverty. But millionaires were only a little bit happier than people on average incomes. It seems that money makes us happy when we have enough to feel secure.

　　But can we be too happy? "You get people who are actually happy, but they think happiness is so important that they try to be even happier. This desire to be always happy is a product of individualism, where the emphasis is on you individually, your emotions and feeling good. People can end up feeling unhappy because ordinary happiness is not good enough for them."
