Passage 1

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation(动力) 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 stand depends very much on the inspanidual. Some people are not afraid of stress and such personal qualities are obviously important to managers. 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 “flight or fight” and in early days the choices 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 pressure and heart diseases 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.

56. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because ______.

A. they do not know how to enjoy themselves

B. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health

C. they are travelling fast all the time.

D. they are becoming busier with their work.

57. According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his ______.

A. not fearing stress B. knowing the art of relaxation

C. high sense of responsibility D. having control over performance

58. Which of the following statements is true?

A. We can find some ways to avoid stress.

B. Stress is always harmful to people.

C. It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.

D. Different people can withstand different amount of stresss.

59. In Paragraph 3, “such a reaction” refers to ______.

A. “making a choice between ‘life or death’”

B. “reaction to stress both chemically and physically”

C. “responding to crises quickly”

D. “losing heart at the signs of difficulties”

60. What does the underlined word “flight” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. running away B. flying

C. travelling by air D. relaxing

Passage 2

What is meant by the term “economic resources”? In general, these are all the natural, man-made, and human resources that go into the production of goods and services. This obviously covers a lot of grounds: factories and farms, tools and machines, transportation and communication facilities, all types of natural resources, and labor. Economic resources can be broken down into two general categories: property resources —— land and capital, and human resources —— labor and entrepreneurial (创业者的) skills.

What do economists mean by land? Much more than non-economists. Land refers to all natural resources that are usable in the production process: cultivatable land, forests, mineral and oil deposits, and so on. What about capital? Capital goods are all the man-made aids to producing, storing, transporting, and distributing goods and services. It should be noted that capitals as defined here do not refer to money. Money, as such, produces nothing.

The term “labor” refers to the physical and mental talents of humans used to produce goods or services. Thus the services of a factory worker or an office worker, a ballet dancer or an astronaut all fall under the general heading of labor.

61. In Paragraph 1, the author uses the expression “This obviously covers a lot of grounds” to indicate that ______.

A. the factories and farms discussed in the passage are very large

B. economic resources will be discussed in great depth

C. the topic of economic resources is a broad one

D. land is an important concept in economics

62. When non-economists use the term “land”, its definition ______.

A. is much more general than when economists use it

B. is much more restrictive than when economists use it

C. changes from place to place

D. indicates all types of natural resources

63. Which of the following could be considered a kind of capital goods as defined in the passage?

A. a railroad B. money
