They accept the lifestyle as normal. Government workers in Washington D.C, for example, frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week. They don’t do this because they have to; they do it because they want to.
Workaholism can be a serious problem. Because true workaholics would rather work than do anything else, they probably don’t know how to relax.
Is workaholism always dangerous? Perhaps not. There are, certainly, people who work well under stress. Some studies show that many workaholies have great energy and interest in life. Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics, work and entertainment keep them busy and creative.
Why do workaholics enjoy their jobs so much? There are several advantages to work. Of course, it provides people with paychecks, and this is important. But it offers more than financial security. It provides people with selfconfidence; they have a feeling of satisfaction when they’re produced a challenging piece of work and are able to say,“I made that.” Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity through participation in work, they get a sense of self and individualism. In addition, most jobs provide people with a socially acceptable way to meet others. Perhaps some people are compulsive about their work, but their addiction seems to be a safe-even an advantageous-one.
9.The passage indicates that workaholics .
A.just know work but nothing else
B.are willing to work hard for long hours without pay
C.find their work provide them more satisfaction and selfconfidence than how much they are paid
D.has the work with more responsibility than others
10.One of the reasons that some people are not willing to quit their jobs even in their eighties and nineties is that
A.they are in the need of financial security
B.they would rather work than be disturbed by domestic affairs
C.they long for a sense of identity and being accomplished
D.they may have health problems from sheer boredom
11.This passage is mainly about .
A.workaholics are usually successful people, but their lives are in a mess
B.workaholism can lead to serious problems but it can also create a joyful life
C.people who are absorbed in their work may enjoy movies, sports and other kinds of entertainment
D.those who work even under difficult conditions may be very happy
12.It can be inferred from the passage that .
A.in the eyes of all the common people workaholics are peculiar
B.to workaholics, work is the sole source of happiness
C.a piece of challenging work may provide the workaholics a sense of satisfaction
D.workaholics are as addicted to their job as other people are to drugs or alcohol
答案
解析
10. 从文章第四段第五、六句我们知道,工作赋予他们一种满足感、成就感(sense of being accomplished),工作使人获得一种认同(identity),通过参与工作,他们获得一种自我意识和个人意识。可知C正确。而金钱只是人们工作的目的之一,并不是最重要的方面。故不选A。人们到老年仍然工作,并非由于不愿意做家务,也并不是担心整天无所事事会引起健康方面的问题。所以B和D不正确。
11. 文章中心围绕工作狂的特点展开,第二段提出工作狂可能是一个很严重的问题,但在第三段也指出工作狂也可快乐地生活,并介绍了快乐的原因。所以可以看出主题是讲“工作狂”既有负面影响又有正面影响”,因此选B。
12. 首段首句指出“人们认为工作狂的生活状态是正常的”。A项与之相反,故可排除。B太片面,因为工作狂也喜欢生活,第三段说many workaholics have great

As evidence has mounted, some doctors have begun recommending a daily drink for patients of heart diseases. But most physicians are not ready to reommend a regular happy hour for everyone. The risks of teetotalling(绝对戒酒) are nothing compared with the dangers of too much alcohol, including high blood pressure, strokes and liver troubles—not to mention violent behaviour and traffic accidents. Moreover, some studies suggest that even moderate drinking may increase the incidence of breast and colon cancer. Until there is evidence that the benefits of a daily dose of alcohol outweigh the risks, most people won’t be able to take a doctor’s prescription to the neighbourhood bar or liquor store.
1.The medical article quoted in the first paragraph indicates .
the way in which alcohol can help the heart
how a couple of cocktails daily can stop heart problems
why alcoholic drinks are dangerous to one’s health
that reports on the advantages of alcohol were misled
2.Experiments showed that nondrinkers had .
A.larger amounts of good cholesterol |
B.smaller amounts of good cholesterol |
C.higher blood pressure |
D.lower blood pressure |
is recommended by most doctors for heart patients
should be allowed on prescription
is still not medically advisable
is not related to liver problems
4.The main theme of this passage is .
the change in recent drinking habits
the connection between cancer and alcohol
whether moderate drinkers outlive nondrinkers
whether alcohol may be good for one’s health
Most people, when they travel to space, would like to stay in orbit for a few days of more. And this stands to reason, if you’re paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! Strain order for tourism to reach its full potential there’s going to be a need for orbital accommodation---or space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel------private rooms, meals, bars. But they’ll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views----of Earth and space---and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity---including sports and other activities that make use of this.
The hotels themselves will vary greatly----from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structure at a later date. It’s actually surprising that as later as 1997, very few designs for space hotels were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them haven’t expected launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible.
Lots of people who’ve been to space have described vividly what it’s like to live in zero gravity. There are obviously all sort of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports. Luckily, you don’t need to sleep much living in zero gravity, so you’ll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below.
Of course all good things have come to an end. Unfortunately, And so after a few days you’ll find yourself heading back enough you’ll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrived. You’ll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again---or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel.

C.they could enjoy the luxury of space hotels |
D.they want to realise the full potential of tourism |
A.The gravitational pull | B.The special views. |
C.The relaxation in a bar | D.The space walk. |
A.When was the space traveling made possible? |
B.What are the unique experiences that space hotels will offer? |
C.Why were there not many published designs for space hotels? |

Don"t have diets that restrict (限制)certain food groups, either. A diet that requires you to say no to bread or pasta or allows you to eat only fruit is unhealthy. You won"t get the vitamins and minerals you need. And although you may lose weight, you"ll probably gain it back as soon as you start eating normally again.
Some people start dieting because they think all the problems in their lives are because of weight. Others have an area of their lives that they can"t control, like an alcoholic parent, so they focus on something they can control — their exercise and food intake.
People who diet may get lots of praise from friends and family when they start losing pounds, which makes them feel good. But eventually a person reaches a weight level — and doesn"t lose as much weight as before because the body is trying to keep a healthy weight, so they aren"t any happier.
Some people may find it hard to control their eating, so they stick with an extreme diet for a little while, but then eat tons of food. Feeling guilty about the binge, they use laxatives(泻药). Eating too little to maintain a healthy weight or eating only to throw up the calories are both eating disorders, which are harmful to a person"s health.

A. A person needs about 800 calories each day.
B. A person who doesn’t eat bread is unhealthy.

5. According to the passage, when people want to lose weight, they should_________.
A. avoid eating some food that can lead to being fat B. control their eating amount and times

We all look forward to the day when a simple medical test can find cancer while it is still small. Researchers around the world are working on such a test. Most of their work deals with the examination of the blood.
Researchers in Boston have found something in the blood of cancer patients that does not appear in healthy persons. The test showed which persons had cancer and which did not. It was correct more than 90 percent of the time.
The researchers believe the test may be able to show cancer very clearly in its development. Cancers discovered early usually can be treated successfully.
The test examines very small bits of fat in the blood called lipids (脂质). Cancers seem to change lipids although doctors do not know why. The test showed differences between the lipids of the persons with cancer and the lipids of those without cancer.
The researchers say the new test could be a step to develop a simple way to check patients for cancer before the disease shows on an X-ray.
1. Who will fail cancer from the study of the researchers?
A. The young. B. The middle age and the older.
C. The man. D. The woman.
2. The underlined words "such a test" refer to________.
A. the test that shows which persons have cancer and which don’t .

D. a new test that could be a step to develop a difficult way
3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Cancers have much to do with something in patients’ blood.
B. People living in better conditions are most likely to be attacked by cancer.
C.X-raying is the best way to determined whether a person has cancer or not.
D. Cancers have nothing to do with a person’s habits and living conditions.
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A simple way to cancer B. Cancers can be cured
C. How to find cancer D. Early discovery of cancer
