America"s No.1 health problem? A report published by the American Institute of Stress claims the
biggest threat to health today is neither cancer nor AIDS. The report says: "It has been estimated that
75-90 percent of all visits to physicians (内科医生) are for stress related problems."
It is no exaggeration to say that people today are being attacked by stress. According to the
National Consumers League, "Work is the top source of stress for adults who have problems and stress
in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). Other sources include health (10%), concern about the
economy (9%) and concern about international conflict and terrorism (4%)."
However, stress is hardly unique to the United States. A British survey in 2005 estimated that "over
half a million individuals in Britain believed in 2004 that they were experiencing work-related stress at a
level that was making them ill." As a result of "work-related stress, depression or anxiety," there are "an
estimated thirteen and a half million reported lost working days per year in Britain."
The picture is no less bleak (荒凉的) in mainland Europe. According to the European Agency for
Safety and Health at Work, "work-related stress has been shown to affect millions of European workers
across all types of employment sectors." One survey revealed that there are "about 41 million workers
affected by work-related stress each year."
_____________? A report issued by a conference held in Tokyo concluded: "Job stress is a
common concern among many countries in the world, both developing and industrialized countries." The
report observed that "several countries in East Asia, including China and Korea, have rapidly
industrialized and economically grown. These countries now have a lot of concerns on job stress and its
harmful effects on workers" health."

documents because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written,
stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.
It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected
computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is
introduced, the printers start working overtime. "I feel in my bones this revolution is causing
more trees to be cut down," says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.
Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper
comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new
markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality
documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to
develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard
copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are
nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater
demand for printers.
Does all this mean environmental concerns have been forgotten? Some activists suggest
people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away.
"I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling," said Kelly
Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful
that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing
in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other
than wood, such as agricultural

minor problems or life-threatening emergencies. Distinguishing a minor burn from a more serious burn
involves determining the degree of damage to the tissues of the body. If you are not sure how serious the
burn is, seek emergency medical help.
First-degree burns are those in which only the outer layer of skin is burned. The skin is usually red and
some swelling (肿大) and pain may occur. Unless the burn involves large portions of the body, it can be
treated at home.
Second-degree burns are those in which the first layer of skin has been burned through and the second
layer of skin is also burned. In these burns, the skin reddens intensely and blisters (水泡) develop. Severe
pain and swelling also occur. Second-degree burns require medical treatment.
Third-degree burns are the most serious and involve all layers of skin. Fat, nerves, muscles, and even
bones may be affected. Areas may be charred black or appear a dry white. If nerve damage is substantial,
there may be no pain at all. These burns require emergency medical attention.
Follow these steps when treating minor burns at home:
1) If the skin is not broken, run cool water over the burn for several minutes.
2) Cover the burn with a sterile (消过毒的) bandage or clean cloth.
3) Take aspirin to relieve any swelling or pain.
Seek emergency treatment immediately for major burns. Before an emergency unit arrives, follow these steps:
1) Remove the person from the source of the burn (fire, electrical current, etc.).
2) If the person is not breathing, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸) immediately.
3) Remove all clothing to stop further burning. If the clothing is stuck to the burn, do not attempt to
remove it.
4) Cover the burned area with a cool, moist, sterile bandage or clean cloth. Do not place any creams,
ointments (药膏) or ice on the burned area or break blisters.
5) Monitor the patient for signs of shock, and treat accordingly.
B. They range from slight burns to deadly ones
C. They seldom cause deaths even if not treated properly
D. They usually cause deaths if not treated properly
B. what kind of tissue of the body is damaged
C. whether there is pain and what degree of pain there is
D. which layer of skin is burned
B. first-degree burns don"t require medical treatment
C. burns without pains can be treated at home
D. the larger the swelling is, the more serious it is
B. you shouldn"t move the person unless you know how to do first aid
C. you shouldn"t run cool water over the burn if the skin is broken
D. you shouldn"t place any wet towels on the burned area
B.a guide book
C.a book on first aid
D.a section about culture in the newspaper
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.

69. In Paragraph 3, "such a reaction" refers back to_______.
A. "making a choice between "flight" or "fight""
B. "reaction to stress both chemically and physically"
C. "responding to crises quickly"
D. "losing heart at the signs difficulties"
70. In the last sentence of the passage, "do so " refers to ______.
A. "expose ourselves to stress"
B. "find ways to deal with stress"
C. "remove stress from our lives"
D. "established links between diseases and stress"
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the success story of Zantrex-3, however, is that it is far from unique. There are hundreds of similar products on the market today, and they are bought by millions of Americans. And though Zantrex’s producer makes some exciting statements (“the most advanced weight control compound (化合物)period”), so do the people who sell Stacker 2 and Anorex along with those who sell Carb Eliminator and Fat Eliminator. Almost all of these compounds suggest that they can help people lose weight and regain lost energy, and often without diet, exercise, or any other effort.

Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically(身体上).
Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤)instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.
On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.
51. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.
A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potential
B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products
C. diet products are misleading people
D. people are fed up with diet products
52. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.
A. try out a variety of diet foods
B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
C. pay attention to their own eating habits
D. watch their weight rather than their diet
53. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means ______.
A. losing weight is effortless
B. it costs a lot to lose weight
C. diet products bring no pain
D. diet products are free from calories
54. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.
A. are over-consumed
B. lack basic nutrients
C. are short of chemicals
D. provide too much energy
55. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
