Stress on
the job costs American companies as much as $$150
billion a year in lower
productivity,
unnecessary employee sick leave, and higher
medical costs. Three-quarters
of the
office workers today say they suffer from stress
at work. Recently, psychologists
and
doctors have begun to study the problem more
closely. They have discovered that the
most stressful professions are those
that involve danger, extreme pressure and those
that
carry a lot of responsibility
without much control.
The sign of
stress range from nervousness, anger, and frequent
illness to
forgetfulness or even mental
problems. The best way to deal with stress is
through
relaxation, but sometimes the
only answer is to fight back or walk away.
Task 2
【答案】
A.
1
give in so easily to hijackers’ demands
a threaten to blow up a plane, commit
some other outage
b hold out against
this kind of blackmail, always have terrorists,
Start executing
terrorists
automatically
c be prepared to face the
consequences of evil
2
a
It’s the lesser of two evils. Terrorists have
proven often enough that they really
mean business.
b Innocent
lives, threatening the innocent will achieve its
ends.
B.
She implies that if
the first speaker was one of the victims of
terrorism, she would
want the
government to give in to the demands so that she
wouldn’t die.
【原文】
Margaret: Governments give in so easily
to hijackers’ demands. A hijacker only has
to threaten to blow up a plane or
commit some other outrage, and a government gives
in
to his demands.
Valerie:
Naturally. It’s the lesser of the two evils. What
government would risk
innocent lives
just to see if terrorists will really do what they
threaten to do? Terrorists
have proven
often enough that they really mean business.
Margaret: Yes, but if a
government
doesn’t hold out against this kind of blackmail,
we will always have
terrorists. Governments are afraid to
punish these people. They almost always let them
go
free. Start executing terrorists
automatically wherever they land, and terrorism
will stop.
Valerie: And what about the
innocent lives that will be lost in the process?
Terrorism is based on the simple idea
that threatening the innocent will achieve its
ends.
Margaret: You can’t get rid of
evil without being prepared to
face the consequences
of evil.
Valerie: So long as you’re not one of
the victims!
Task 3

narrow street with five-and six-storey buildings
eight kilometers
from downtown Los
Angeles.
2 This factory makes shirts
and jeans
3 She’s already been working
for ten hours, but won’t stop for another two
hours.
4 She can’t complain
about those things because she is an illegal
immigrant
.
【原
文】
Eight
kilometers from downtown Los Angeles there is a
narrow street with five- and
six-storey
buildings. Inside one of these buildings there is
a small factory making shirts
and
jeans. The women working in the factory sit close
together, each with a small table,
each
with their own sewing machine. The women say
nothing, and work hard. In one of
the
rooms there are thirty-five women. There is only a
little natural light, and this comes
from a small window in the roof. The
room is hot, airless, and very noisy. On the
left-
hand side of the room there is a
young girl sitting next to the wall. Every now and
again
she closes her eyes, and her
fingers stop working. She's already been in her
chair for ten
hours, but she'll be here
until the bell rings
—
and that won't be for another two hours.
Her
name is Maria, and she comes from Mexico. She
won't complain about her work.
She
won't say that the working hours ought to be
changed; she won't say that the working
conditions shouldn't be permitted.

B.
Unlike the
other couples, Carla has always kept her won

television very much and
they both like
swimming.
【原文】
When
Adrian Hutton and Carla Leone get married they
will move into a new house
that they
have bought. But what sort of life will they have?
What can they expect in
modern Britain?
Every year the British government publishes
statistics about social
trends. Their
findings show definite patterns in the British way
of life.
In most marriages there are
some marked differences between husbands and
wives.
Working wives, for example,
sleep (on average one hour more a day than working
husbands. Housewives, on the other
hand, sleep only about three hours more every week
than their working husbands. And what
about housework? The government survey
showed that only 1% of men do the
household chores
—
like cleaning and ironing. But
they do usually keep
household accounts and it is always men who do
repairs or
improvements in the house.
30% of all marriages end in divorce.
The government survey also looked at
leisure activities. They found that the two
most popular leisure activities in
Britain are watching television (the average
family spends 20 hours a week in front
of the TV set and going for walks.
Swimming is an especially popular
activity among British women.
Carla and
Adrian's life, though, will probably be different
from the average marriage.
In the first
place Carla has always kept her own accounts and
Adrian has always done his
own
housework. Neither of them like watching
television very much and they both like
swimming.
Task 5
【答案】
A.
Topic: How a city in
Japan solve the problem of garbage disposal.
Supporting details: 160 million, every
year, 10 percent, 10 percent, the rest, public
cooperation
1 garbage that
can be easily burned, kitchen and garden trash
2 electrical appliances, plastic tools,
plastic toys
3 are poisonous, cause
pollution, batteries
4 bottles and
glass containers that can be recycled
5
metal containers that can be recycled
6
furniture and bicycled
on different
days, on request, fertilizer, to produce
electricity, recycled, cleaned,
repaired, resold cheaply, give away
B.
1 The garbage will be
taken to a center that looks like a clean new
office building or
hospital. Inside the
center, special equipment is used to sort and
process the garbage.
2 Official from
cities around the world visit Machida to see
whether they can use
some of these
ideas and techniques to solve their own garbage
disposal problems.
【原文】
Disposing of
the garbage we produce every day is a major
problem in cities around
the world. In
the United States, over 160 million tons of
garbage are produce every year.
Ten
percent is recycled, ten percent is burned, and
the rest is put in landfills. But finding
land for new landfills is becoming more
difficult. A city that has solved this problem in
an unusual way is Machida, in Tokyo,
Japan. They have developed a totally new
approach to garbage disposal. The key
to the operation is public cooperation. Families
must divide their garbage into six
categories:
1. garbage that can be
easily burned (that is, combustible garbage such
as kitchen
and garden trash?;
2. noncombustible garbage, such as
small electrical appliances, plastic tools, and
plastic toys?;
3. products
that are poisonous or that cause pollution, such
as batteries and
fluorescent lights?;
4. bottles and glass containers that
can be recycled?;
5. metal containers
that can be recycled?;
6. large items,
such as furniture and bicycles.
The
items in categories1 to 5 are collected on
different days. Large items are only
collected upon request. Then the
garbage is taken to a center that looks like a
clean new
office building or hospital.
Inside the center, special equipment is used to
sort and process
the garbage. Almost
everything can be reused: garden or kitchen trash
becomes fertilizer;
combustible garbage
is burned to produce electrical; metal containers
and bottles are
recycled; and old
furniture, clothing, and other useful items are
cleaned, repaired, and
resold cheaply
or given away. The work provides employment for
handicapped person
and gives them a
chance to learn new skills.
Nowadays, officials from
cities around the world visit Machida to see
whether they
can use some of these
ideas and techniques to solve their own garbage
disposal problems.
Task 6
【答案】
1 They were
talking about Mrs. Carter.
2 She was a
tall, handsome woman who used to come into the
shop at least twice a
week.
3 She lived alone in a large house on
an old farm---about three miles from the shop.
4 He was absolutely certain, otherwise
he would never call the police. His evidence
was this: First, he saw her do it;
second, he found the things in her bag; third, she
had
done it before.
5
Because two young people saw her. The shopkeeper
believed that if they didn’t
punish
her, young people would think that stealing
didn’t
matter.
6 The judge
thought that it was difficult case from a
humanitarian point of view. The
excuses
her found for her were: First, the woman was old
and she lived alone---she was
lonely.
Second, she wasn’t poor
---she was well- known for her generosity to charities and
she didn’t need to steal. Te items were
only worth a pound or two. Third, she pleaded not
guilty and she didn’t know that she had
done it.
【原文】
Shopkeeper: I knew Mrs. Carter very
well. She was a tall, handsome woman who
used to come into the shop at least
twice a week. She lived alone in a large house on
an
old farm
—
about three miles from here. People ask me if I am certain she did it. The
answer is yes. I was
absolutely certain, otherwise I would never have
called the police. In
the first place, I saw her do it. I
watched her put the things into her bag and I
watched her
walk out of the store. In
the second place, we found the things in her bag,
and finally, she
had done it before. It
wasn't the first time. I think she was in such a
confused state that
she didn’t know
what she was doing, but two other people say her
—
two young people.
We had to
punish her, otherwise young people would think
that stealing didn’t matter.
Judge: It was a difficult case from a
humanitarian point of view. The woman was old
and she lived alone
—
she was lonely. She wasn’t poor —
she was
well-
known for her generosity to charities and she didn’t need to steal. The items
were only worth a
pound or two. She pleaded not guilty and said she
didn’t know that she
had done it. From
the legal point of view the case was
straightforward. The woman stole;
she
was caught and reported. There were witnesses. She
had to be punished or else no
one could
be punished for stealing. Task 7
