noisy cities.They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields，rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural(乡下的) areas to
urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two
large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area
begins to grow. There is usually a_residential_area nearby, too. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main
offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see
many huge skyscrapers(摩天大楼)and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way
to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the
city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks
for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will
see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.

noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the
countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds.This movement from rural(乡下的)
areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two
large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area
begins to grow. There is usually a_residential_area nearby, too. The families of these workers need
schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main
offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see
many huge skyscrapers(摩天大楼)and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way
to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the

B．Higher level of stress causes more trouble.
C．Milder stress does more harm than expected.
D．A certain level of stress is efficient in working conditions.
E．Always pay enough attention to mild stress.
F．Modern social conditions may lead to stress.
Even relatively mild stress can lead to long term disability and an inability to work, reveals a large
population based study published online in the Journal of Epidemiology (流行病学) and Community
Health.It is well known that mental health problems are associated with long term disability, but the impact
of milder forms of psychological stress is likely to have been underestimated (低估), say the authors.
2．________
Between 2002 and 2007, the authors tracked the health of more than 17,000 working adults up to the
age of 64, who had been randomly selected from the population in the Stockholm area. All participants
completed a validated (经验证的) questionnaire at the start of the Study to measure their mental health
and stress levels, as well as other aspects of health and wellbeing.
3．________
During the monitoring period, 649 people started receiving disability benefit -203 for a mental health
problem and the remainder for physical ill health. Higher levels of stress at the start of the study were
associated with a significantly greater likelihood of subsequently being awarded long term disability benefits.But even those with mild stress were up to 70% more likely to receive disability benefits, after taking
account of other factors likely to influence the results, such as lifestyle and alcohol intake.One in four of
these benefits awarded for a physical illness, such as high blood pressure, angina(心绞痛), and stroke(中风), and almost two thirds awarded for a mental illness, were likely to have been caused by stress.
4．________
The authors say that it is important to consider their findings in the context of modern working life, which places greater demands on employees, and social factors, such as fewer close personal relationships and supportive networks.
5．________
These factors lead them to ask: "Are the strains and demands of modern society commonly exceeding (超出) human ability?" And they conclude that while mild stress should not be overmedicalised, their findings suggest that it should be taken more seriously than it is.

| Rarely have I experienced a reaction like that which came about following the idea of banning private education.One of those who contacted me to disagree with the idea was 17 year old Anirudh Mandagere. He got 10 As at GCSE and is currently studying English,French,Math and History at a private school in Manchester.Here is his response: For me,the idea that all private schools should be banned is not only ridiculous and unrealistic,but goes against the idea of liberty. We must have the freedom to choose between statefunded and privately educated schools. If parents pay taxes, surely they should be able to choose whether they send their children to a statefunded or a privatelyfunded school. The economic impacts of abolishing private education are vast.Banning private schools would obviously contribute to a great transfer to state schools. Many state schools are already overburdened；do they really need more pupils?Abolishing private education would lead to higher taxes for taxpayers since more money would be needed to educate the 7% who were previously private educated. In the times of economic crisis,should the taxpayer need to fork out more money to pay for their education?There would also be a great rise in unemployment of the staff who works at private schools. It is noted that,in general,private schools have better grades at GCSE and A level than state schools. Yet, why do people view this as a bad thing ? The higher private school grades eventually force the government to endlessly improve state education so that the middle classes do not totally abandon state education for private education.This competition creates reform and progress within state schools and eventually promote them!If the private schools did not exist,where would be the impetus for state school improvement? Government should not simply ban a system which produces results.It should learn from it and use the private education model as a basis for the state education model.Abolishing a successful system will not help anybody,learning from a successful system will. | |||
| 1．In the eye of Anirudh Mandagere,parents have the right to________. | |||
| A．criticize statefunded schools B．pay taxes for the promotion of private schools C．choose the way their children receive education D．advocate the competition between state schools and private ones | |||
| 2．According to the passage,banning private education will______. | |||
| A．obviously contribute to lower taxes B．not cause the state schools to be overburdened C．force the government to boost state education D．lead to many people losing their jobs | |||
| 3．The underlined word "impetus" in the fourth paragraph probably means________. | |||
| A．motivation B．prevention C．participation D．assessment | |||
| 4．Compared with state schools,private ones________. | |||
| A．educate a little fewer students B．conduct better than all state ones C．are better received by the public D．are more competitive on the whole | |||
| 5．Which of the following statements will Anirudh Mandagere agree with? | |||
| A．His wonderful performance results from the education his private school offers. B．Without the existence of private schools,state ones wouldn"t get improved much. C．Private education is a good system to make students successful in life. D．Private schools are supposed to be sponsored more than state ones. |
