new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative
impacts of stress and help you become healthier.
"Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger," said Jennifer
Lerner of Carnegie Mellon. "The more people display anger, the lower their stress responses."
Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6,200. They must say outloud
every thirteenth number. Researchers disturbed them by asking them to count faster or ask
them other questions. If they made any mistakes, they had to restart from the very beginning.
Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry.
Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test.
The researchers describe their reactions as fear, anger and disgust.
Other researchers recorded the students" blood pressure, pulse and production of a high-stress
hormone (荷尔蒙) called cortisol. People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had
higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. Both can have lasting effects such as
diabetes (糖尿病), heart disease, depression and extra weight gain.
When people feel fear, negative impacts increase, but when they get angry, those negatives
go down, according to the study.
"Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feel some power in what otherwise is
maddening (令人发狂的) situation," Lerner said.
Lerner previously studied Americans" emotional response to the 911 terrorist attacks two
months after the incident. She found people who reacted with anger were more optimistic. These
people are healthier compared with those who were frightened during the event. So in maddening
situations, anger is not a bad thing to have. It"s a healthier response than fear.
B. What you can do with anger in certain cases.
C. Different effects produced by anger and fear.
D. Healthier responses in maddening situations.
B. Blood pressure and pulse.
C. Blood pressure and cortisol.
D. Higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone.
A. By showing their optimistic side.
B. By reducing their stress.
C. By reducing high blood pressure.
D. By taking the place of fear.
B. asking them to count to 6,200 again and again
C. disturbing them and making them start all over again

however, is that they are not renewable (use again).
Another way is energy conservation (节能), which means using energy more efficiently (有效地). In
some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the
inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The house is
heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.
Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty
degrees centigrade with each kilometer down. At six kilometres, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred
degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped (压;抽) down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat
from the earth is already used in certain countries.
B. Three
C. Four
D. Five.
B. serve as an example of energy conservation
C. are heated by different sources of energy
D. are warmer than other types of houses
B. underground source
C. renewable source
D. temperature of the earth
get a temperature of 75℃?
B. Two km.
C. Three km.
D. Four km.
business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and
the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed,
and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low
carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the healthy while using
its supply of natural resources.
Today, sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries. According to a recent study,
the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade. China,
for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the
global energy resolution. It is now trying hard to made full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing
great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油), which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have
grown more than 50%.
Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for
reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger
arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally,
governments can avoid the huge public expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and
redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from the traditional model to a sustainable
one.
The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within
the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable
product industries.
B. it consumes natural resources
C. it brings severe damage to future
D. it makes growth hard to continue
B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market
C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development
D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests
B. forbid carbon emission
C. develop public resources
D. encourage energy conservation
B. explore new natural resources
C. make full use of natural resources
D. deal with the major challenge
B. To compare two business models
C. To predict a change of the global markets
D. To advocate sustainable development
Meteorology Observatory, visibility was less than 100 meters in Minqin, a Gansu county near Inner
Mongolia, because of sand. When visibility drops to less than 1 kilometer, it is called a sandstorm. The
sandstorm in Minqin blew up dust in neighboring towns, such as Baiyin, Wuwei, Jinchang and Lanzhou,
the capital city of Gansu Province. Dust-laden winds also swept into Beijing. Brought by northwesterly
blowing at more than 20 meters per second, dust first reached the capital"s suburbs at 7 a. m., downtown
areas at 9 a. m. The winds, which died down during the night, brought the temperature down to as low as 8 0C below zero and many flights put off their planned time from the city"s airport.
It is quite rare for sandstorms, which are frequent between March and June, to happen in winter,
when the earth is frozen. The sandstorms in Gansu and Inner Mongolia do not necessarily mean there will
be more of them in the spring than last year, when they were serious, but Beijing is taking it very seriously. It is reported that Beijing will spend 6 billion yuan (US 725 million) in preventing sandstorms in the
capital and has already set up a special team to make sure what causes them.
B. Sandstorms happened on the first day of the new year.
C. Sandstorms are very serious,compared to last year.
D. Experts are trying their best to determine the cause of the sandstorm formed this year
later if it travels at a speed of 20 meters per second?
B. 1.5
C. 2.0
D. 2.5
B. Because a lot of trees have been cut down.
C. Because people took few measures to control them.
D. It is not mentioned in the passage.
B. Flights put off their time to take off.
C. The air is dirty.
D. People had three days off
B. explain what measures people have taken to control sandstorms
C. make people realize the need to protect the environment
D. call on us to do what we can to save the earth.
challenge for the city council (市议会).
Recently, Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of (处理) about 250,000 million tons of
waste a year. Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner - largely through
encouraging recycling-its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal
with it.
The European Union (EU) has issued a new policy, regulating how such mountains of waste are to be
disposed of. The five councils ( Edinburgh, East Lothian, West Lothian, Midlothian and Borders ) face
fines around ￡18 million a year from 2013 if they don"t increase recycling levels and rely less on landfill. With this in mind, the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant (垃圾焚烧
厂) to burn half of the waste produced in their districts. But this plan fell apart after the change of target
levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city"s waste
should be disposed of in this way by 2025.
After the plan was abandoned, a private company which already transported millions of tons of the
city"s waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar, offered an alternative solution when it suggested
opening a huge waste site near Portobello.
Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015, it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh
Council to accept the suggestion. But soon they turned it down - after 700 local objections reached
them - because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily
populated areas.
That still leaves the council with a problem. By 2013, only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be
allowed to be sent to landfill. Even if recycling targets are met, there will still be a large amount of
rubbish to be burnt up. Due to this, Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work
together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out.
B. restoring
C. burying
D. burning
B. meet the EU requirements
C. speed up waste recycling
D. replace landfill sites
Portobello because ________.
B. the council was not interested in it
C. it was not supported by EU
D. the local people were against it
B. To close the Powderhall landfill in 2015.
C. To set up a plan for burning waste.
D. To persuade people to deduce their waste.
