閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A.B.C和D項中,選出最佳選項。

“The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful,” says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses(沖動) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral(道德) freedom.

A single angry word has lost many friends. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad.” “Keep cool,” says Webster, “anger is not argument.” “Be calm in arguing,” says George Herbert, “for fierceness(狂怒) makes error a fault.”

To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “brings with folly and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.

Self-control is man’s last and greatest victory.

If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also. (from www.nmet168.com)

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項A、B、C和D中,選出最佳選項。

Depression is much higher amongst female bosses than male bosses,a new US survey finds.Dr Tetyana Pudrovska,the study's first author,explained:“Women with job authority-the ability to hire,fire,and influence pay-h(huán)ave greatly more symptoms of depression than women without this power.But men with job authority have fewer symptoms of depression than men without such power.”

The study followed 1,500 middle-aged women and 1,300 middle-aged men who all graduated from high schools in Wisconsin.The men and women were surveyed in 1993 and 2004 to look at the connection between how much authority they had at work and symptoms of depression.

The results showed that amongst men and women with lower levels of authority at work,women had slightly higher levels of depression.This is normal since overall women suffer from depression slightly more than men.Amongst men and women with higher levels of authority at work,however,it was women who had many more symptoms of depression than men.Men in authority actually had a 10% lower risk of depression,while authority increased the risk of women having depressive symptoms by 9%.

Dr Pudrovska continued:“What shocked us is that women with job authority in our study are advantaged in terms of most characteristics that are strong signs of positive mental health.These women have more education,higher incomes,better jobs,and higher levels of job satisfaction than women without job authority.Yet,they have worse mental health than lower-status(地位)women.”

The cause of this discrepancy is not known,but Dr Pudrovska says:“Years of social science research suggests that women in authority positions deal with interpersonal anxiety,negative social interactions,negative stereotypes,prejudice,social isolation(社會孤立),as well as resistance(抵抗)from colleagues.Women in authority positions are viewed as lacking in the assertiveness(果斷)and confidence of strong leaders.But when these women display such characteristics,they are judged negatively for being unfeminine(不像女性的).This causes mental stress.”

Men,on the other hand,do not have to face these kinds of negative stereotypes about their abilities.

1.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A.Female bosses get less stress from work than male bosses.

B.Female bosses get the same stress from work as male bosses.

C.Female bosses get the same stress from work as employees.

D.Female bosses get more stress from work than male bosses.

2.What conclusion can we draw from the passage?

A.The higher levels of authority,the fewer women suffer depression.

B.The higher levels of authority,the more women suffer depression.

C.The lower levels of authority,the more men suffer depression.

D.The lower levels of authority,the more women suffer depression.

3.What did Dr Pudrovska think of the results?

A.Exciting. B.Surprising.

C.Disappointing. D.Inspiring.

4.What does the underlined word“discrepancy”in Paragraph 5 mean?

A.Difference. B.Excellence.

C.Preference. D.Reference.
