workers found their workplace "too stressful" compared with an average of 27% across Europe. Switzerland
and Sweden suffered the highest levels of anxiety in their job (33%), the survey by global recruitment (人力)
agency Kelly Services found.
The survey of 19,000 people across 12 countries also found that male workers, older staff and those in
steady jobs were under the greatest pressure. "A certain amount of stress is inevitable and can be a good thing
when it pushes people beyond their comfort zone to work harder and smarter," said Steve Cirdler, marketing
director of Kelly Services UK." But high levels of long stress are not good because they impact on productivity
and lead to physical and emotional illness," he warned. The group also found stress increased significantly with
age-rising from 19% in the 15-24 age to 23% for those aged 45 and above. The report suggested these workers
could also be suffering from added stress at home and increased responsibility. Those working the longest
hours found their job the most stressful: 18% for those working 30 hours or less, 34% for those clocking on
for 41-50 hours, and 50% for those working longer than 51 hours. Kelly Services also uncovered a close link
between stress and job satisfaction. For those workers who said they faced too much stress, just 28% were
happy in their jobs, while for those with "just the right amount of stress" happiness levels jumped to 65%. The
findings suggest staff enjoy jobs where they face challenges that push them to "learn new skills".

all be packed as hurried Americans search for the perfect gift. The crooks and thieves that prey upon innocent
shoppers are well aware of this fact.
Even if you don"t involve yourself with holiday gift buying, you could end up a victim of theft. Thieves
do not distinguish the holiday shopper from the everyday shopper. Thieves only know that there are more
potential targets of opportunity at this time of year.
They also know that many people are complacent (不以为然的) about personal safety issues year round.
They"ll factor in the belief that many people take on added stress this time of year while running from store
to store with so much to do and so little time to do it. Shoppers who might normally consider personal safety
an afterthought push it back even further as they try to negotiate their way through the month of December.
College students are not an exception to the rule!
As a member of our university community, you"re also easily influenced by the dangers of mall shopping
this time of year. Take a minute and picture any of the local area malls. Close your eyes and think about the
overflowing parking lots and the crowds moving around. The sights, sounds and distractions all can lull you
into a state of personal safety complacency.
Aside from the shoplifters who steal merchandise from store shelves are the thieves who perpetrate (犯)
snatch and grab crimes. And this is the sort of crime that you"re most vulnerable to, especially when you find
yourself carrying a large number of shopping bags and packages. However, as is the case with most other
types of criminal behavior, there are a number of crime prevention measures you can take to lessen or stop
your chances of becoming a victim. So take the time to read and then put into practice the following holiday
shopping tips.
B. a novelist
C. a member of university community
D. a police spokesman
B. Thieves.
C. Personal safety issues.
D. College students.
B. Because he often does shopping in a hurry.
C. Because there are crowds of shoppers.
D. All of the above.
B. To make readers aware of holiday shopping dangers.
C. To give advice on selecting the perfect gift.
D. To introduce American public security situation.
B. Suitable Shopping Places
C. Personal Safety During Holidays
D. How to Identify a Thief
appears attractive: to those who know their strength. Imitation is unacceptable.
In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook,
I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else"s
way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child"s
bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without
relying on them.
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child,
you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone
on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the
weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when
they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on
their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies,
books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations
were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been
done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless
resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material
knocking at the door of imagination.
Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server. Then
you can say, "I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors" tragedies and stories, and know that they are cheering
on.
B. lose the balance of life
C. begin to learn something new
D. get tired of routine practice
B. choose the right example
C. ask others for decisions
D. stay away from stars
A. desperate to insurance others with their knowledge
B. ready to turn their original ideas into reality
C. eager to discover what their ancestors did
D. willing to accept others" ideas
B. the absence of practical ideas
C. how to search for more materials
D. how to use imagination creatively
B. To criticize the characters of role models.
C. To compare imitation with creation.
D. To explain the meaning of success.
a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband
lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
"I have two kids in college, and I want to say "come home," but at the same time I want to provide
them with a good education," says Jacobs.
The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and
each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They
will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs.
More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators
are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
At the same time, tuition (学费) continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy
and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average
family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.
"If we go on this way for another 25years, we won"t have an affordable system of higher education,"
says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. "The middle class families have been financing it through
debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt."
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans
are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans
account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow
uninterrupted.
B. The father was out of work.
C. Their saving ran out.
D. The family fell apart.
B. They borrowed $20,000 from the school.
C. They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.
D. They got help from the school and the federal government.
B. the government will receive more letters of complaint
C. college tuition fees will double soon
D. America"s unemployment will fall
B. Their income remained steady in the last decade.
C. They will try their best to send kids to college.
D. Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.
B. dismiss some financial aid administrators
C. stop the companies from making student loans
D. go on providing financial support for college students
study. For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. "It"s a well-known pattern," said lead
researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan"s Institute for Social Research. "Men usually work more
outside the home, while women take on more of the housework."
He points out that differences among households (家庭) exist. But in general, marriage means more
housework for women and less for men. "And the situation gets worse for women when they have children."
Stafford said.
Overall, times are changing in the American home. In 1976, women busied themselves with 26 weekly
hours of sweeping-and-dusting work, compared with 17 hours in 2005. Men are taking on more housework,
more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976 to 13 in 2005.
Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours, while married women
in their 60s and 70s did the most-about 21 hours a week.
Men showed a somewhat different pattern, with older men picking up the broom more often than younger
men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men.
Having children increases housework even further. With more than three, for example, wives took on more
of the extra work, clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands" 10 hours.
B. does more housework
C. is the main breadwinner
D. is the master of the house
B. About 26
C. About 13
D. About 6
B. An older married man.
C. A younger married man.
D. A married man with children.
B. Marriage has effects on job choices.
C. Housework sharing changes over time.
D. Having children means doubled housework.
the world. That, at least, is what it promised us. The difficulty is that it did not take the human mind into
account. The reality is that we cannot keep relationships with more than a limited number of people. No matter
how hard the internet tries to put you in communication, its best efforts will be defeated by your mind.
The problem is twofold (双重的). First, there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and
have a meaningful relationship with. That number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. Second, the
quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest (投入) in them. We invest a lot in a
small number of people and then distribute what"s left among as many others as we can. The problem is that
if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline (减弱) until eventually it dies
into "someone I once knew".
This is not, of course, to say that the internet doesn"t serve a socially valuable function. Of course it does.
But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the
world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to move
to the other side of the world.
In one sense, that"s a good thing. But it also has a disadvantage. If you continue to invest in your old friends
even though you can no longer see then, then certainly you aren"t using your time to make new friends where
you now live. And I suspect that probably isn"t the best use of your time. Meaningful relationships are about
being able to communicate with each other, face to face. The internet will slow down the rate with which
relationships end, but it won"t stop that happening eventually.
B. The difficulty in communication on the internet.
C. The socially valuable function of the internet.
D. The role of the human mind in the internet communication.
B. connection
C. interview
D. agreement
B. the internet determines the quality of social relationships
C. the internet greatly increases the size of social circles
D. the internet communication is no less effective than the face-to-face talk
B. He is hopeful of it.
C. He approves of it.
D. He doubts it.
