People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
However, the study also found that when less-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a stronger effect on their health.
From this, researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are regular. Where you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them.
The research team interviewed a national sample of 1, 031 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health. People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days, people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time, and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time.
“Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health.” leading researcher, Dr. Joseph Grzywacz of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement. “The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors (緊張刺激物), and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more damaging for the less advantaged. ”
“If something happens every day, maybe it’s not seen as a stressor.” Grzywacz says. “Maybe it is just life.”
57.Stress level is closely related to_______.
A. family size   B. work experience     C. body weight       D. social position    
58.Which group reported the biggest number of stressful days?
A. People without any education.   B. People without high school degrees.
C. People with high school degrees.        D. People with college degrees.
59.The less advantaged people are, the greater_______.
A. the effect of stress on their health is B. the degree of their health concern is
C. the level of their education is     D. the effect of education on their health is
60.Less-educated people report fewer days of stress possibly because_______.
A. they don’t want to tell truth       
B. they don’t want to face the truth
C. stress is too common a factor in their life     
D. their stress is much greater

閱讀下面短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

As a person in modern society，you should never forget that everyone needs encouragement. And everybody who receives it is changed by it. It was novelist Mark Twain who said :“One compliment can keep me going for a whole month.”      

The impact that encouragement makes on people can be deep and significant. A word of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life. A word of encouragement from a spouse

can save a marriage. A word of encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach his potential. Like Zig Ziglar says,” You never know when a few sincere words can have an impact on a life.”     

I’ve read that the 19th century writer Walt Whitman struggled for years to get anyone interested in his poetry. In the midst of his discouragement，Whitman received a life-changing letter from an admirer of his work. The note read:“ Dear sir, I am not blind to the worth of the wonderful gift of Leaves of Grass. I find it the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet contributed. I greet you at the beginning of a great career.” It was signed by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Whitman enjoyed a long career and is now considered one of the giants of' American literature. But when times were tough，he needed encouragement to keep him going.

This season is the perfect time to give a gift everybody wants—and everyone needs.

Something that has always interested me about Abraham Lincoln is，not surprisingly，his sense of humor. As far as I can tell，he's the first American President to have one．

    That's because the term“sense of humor” really wasn't in common usage until the eighteen-sixties and seventies．In the eighteen-forties and fifties，it was called“the sense of the ridiculous," and didn't have the positive connotations（隱含意義）that“sense of humor" has today. Back then，what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule（譏笑）．Funniness and cruelty went hand in hand．Of course，they still do a lot of arm-in-arm walking in our day as well．

    Lincoln’s humor was very different because，for one thing，it was actually "humor＂as what the word meant in his time. We don't make the distinction between "wit（風(fēng)趣）”and "humor”anymore; but in the nineteenth century people did．Wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleasant and sympathetic．It’s the difference we note now when we distinguish between "laughing with”and“l(fā)aughing at．”Lincoln was much more about "laughing with”than "laughing at．”And when“l(fā)aughing at，”it was often himself he was teasing.

    In the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates，when Douglas accused Lincoln of being two-faced，Lincoln replied，referencing his plain looking，“Honestly，if I were two-faced，would I be showing you this one？”And，in a way，Lincoln's face itself tells us much about his sense of humor．

    You can comb through thousands of photographs of politicians，soldiers，and the like from Lincoln's time and not find a single smile．

    True, the long exposures（曝光）required for photographs of that time made smiling difficult．Yet Lincoln alone，as far as I can tell，overcame that difficulty.

    Interestingly, while having a sense of humor，or at least the appearance of one provided by comedy writers has become a necessary characteristic for an American President in our time，in the nineteenth century，too much humor was considered problem.  And that was the case for Lincoln．A journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates commented that“I could not take a real personal liking to the man，owing to an inborn weakness. . .that he was extremely, fond of jokes，anecdotes，and stories．”

1.We can infer from Paragraph 2 that＿＿

A .the American President could influence the use of English

B. the term "sense of humor”wasn't invented until the 1860s

C .what is funny to someone might be offensive to someone else

D. the concept of humor remains the same despite the passing of time

2.The underlined words“this one”in Paragraph 4 refer to＿＿．

A. Lincoln's unattractive face

B. Lincoln's sense of humor

C. the debate they were having

D.cruelty that went with funniness

3.We rarely see people from Lincoln's time wear smile in their photos because＿．

A. being humorous was considered inappropriate

B. they found it quite funny to smile before camera

C. not smiling for photographs was the fashion

D. photography technology then was not advanced

4.What might the writer think of the journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates？

A. His comment accurately reflected his time

B. He created a false picture of Lincoln

C. He was prejudiced and self-centered

D. He was brave to point out Lincoln's weakness

請閱讀下面一篇文章，并按照要求匹配信息。

Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror.    1   .

Body image is a person’s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance.     2   . You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.

So, what can you do to develop a positive body image? Here are some ideas:

Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport. That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting.      3   .

Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques (體形) don’t just happen.     4   . A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to one hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.

Respect your body! Practicing good habits --- regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on --- can help you build a positive body image.

   5     . Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智慧), and all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.

A．Use this as an opportunity to discover what you’re good at.

B．Be yourself.

C．They care just as much as girls do about their body image.

D．Just explore talents that you feel good about.

E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.

G. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.
