9、 the negative effects 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 you display anger, the lower your 38 responses.”Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back

10、 from 6,200. They must say out loud every 13th number. Researchers interfered(干扰) with them by asking them to 39 faster or ask them other questions. If they made any 40 , they had to restart from the very beginning. Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry 41 the resea

The researchers 45 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 f

18、 as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speake

19、r does say. If you lose you place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, dont worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a

20、 speech, that doesnt really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther Kings famous speech-“I have a Dream“, you may notice that he stumbles(结巴) over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you dont remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather

21、than on his way of speech-making.People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking

22、for a perfect performer. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speakers ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, dont worry about being perfect. Once you fre

23、e you mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.56.

It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. giving a speech is like giving a performanceB. one or two mistak

25、es in a speech may not be badC. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeD. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be.59.

They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather

34、than follow. Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, “operates under the theory of whats mine is mine and whats yours is mine,” says his mother. “The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers(剑). Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones.”“Examine t

35、he extended family, and youll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. Its an inheritable trait,” says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance(支配地位) wh

36、en they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.Whether its inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands at the young isnt healthy for children or the family. Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist Jo

37、hn Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, “have secret feelings of weakness” and “a desire to feel safe.” Its the parents role to provide that protection.When a “bossy child” doesnt learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The ove

38、rly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.“I see more and more parents giving up their power,” says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more tha

39、n 30 years. “They bend too far because they dont want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious.”64. Bossy children like Stephen Jackson _ .A. make good decisions B. show self-centerednessC. lack

40、care from others D. have little sense of fear65. The underlined phrase“inheritable trait” in Paragraph 2 means _ .A. inborn nature B.developed character C. accepted theory D. particular environment66. The study on bossy behavior implies that parents _ .A. should give more power to their children B.

41、should be strict with their childrenC. should not be so anxious about their children D. should not set limits for their children67. What is the passage mainly about?A. How bossy behavior can be controlled.B. How we can get along with bossy children.C. What leads to childrens bossy behavior. D. What

42、effect bossy behavior brings about.DPerhaps no single monument in the USA is as famous as the Statue of Liberty. Standing on a small island in New York Harbor, the crowned lady, holding aloft in her right hand the torch of freedom and in her left hand a tablet which is inscribed “ July 4 th, 1776,”

43、is a symbol of American democracy. She is greatly huge. She is 151 feet high and the pedestal on which she stands is almost as much. An elevator takes visitors to the top of the pedestal, around which a balcony runs. A spiral staircase goes up to the crown, and another to the torch. The Statue of Li

44、berty was a gift to the USA from France in 1886, as a mark of friendship and also in memory of the aid France gave the Americans during the American Revolution.For millions of immigrants, the statue was their first sight of the promised land, and for a few it was also the last, as they sailed back h

45、ome again to a desolate future. About a mile from Liberty Island, there is another small island, called Ellis Island, which was looked upon with dread by the immigrants. For it was there that they had to wait their turn to be examined by doctors and officials. Most of the immigrants could not speak

46、a word of English. But only two out of 100 immigrants were refused admission to New York City. Often the person refused turned out to be a grandmother or a week, frightened girl mistakenly considered as the “ feeblemined”. Sometimes husbands and wives were parted because one of them happened to have

47、 a bad cough and was suspected of having tuberculosis.Far from being a city paved with gold, New York City was a city that is full of overcrowded, unhealthy and unsafe ghettoes. The newcomers found it rather difficult to get work at once, and their living quarters were often slums (贫民窟 ). They had t

48、o look for earlier immigrants of their own nationality or religion. So Italian, Polish, Irish, Jewish neighborhoods grew up.Today immigrants no longer have to bear the frightfulness of Ellis Island. The frightening buildings were closed down in 1924. In 1976, Ellis Island became a historic monument.Most immigrants from Europe now pass through New York City via Kennedy Airport. But for immigrants from Asia- Koreans, Filipinos, Chinese, the gateway to the USA is San Francisco, not New York City.68. The passage c
