Pressure too much?

    In our daily life we are used to hearing these words, “I can't wait for my holiday,” “I wish I could stay home today” And “I'm very tired.” These words come from pressure at work. Now the “iron rice bowl”(鐵飯碗) is being broken into pieces. Workers may be fired if they don’t perform their duties well. They have to do their jobs better.

    People feel pressure not only because they might find themselves out of work but also because they get no real pleasure from their work. For most of the workers, work is just a way of earning money. It appears to be meaningless and worthless.

    But pressure is a natural part of work. There is no way to keep away from it. We should face up to it.

    Work should be a cause of happiness and pride rather than a punishment or a burden .In fact, a certain amount of pressure can provide challenge and chance for learning. To a modern man who is worried and low in spirit, developing a hobby and finding a new interest is of first importance. I like listening to pop music, which makes me calm and gives me pleasure.

    If pressure becomes difficult to deal with, we should turn to our friends or families. We can have a drink with our friends and talk about the problem. We should always discuss our problems with our families. Good advice, warmth and happiness that families bring to us can reduce our pressure and encourage us to smooth away all difficulties.

Peopel feel pressure at work mainly because ______.

  A. they will lose their jobs

  B. most of them find less interest in their work

  C. they can make more money after work.

  D. they want to stay at home.

Which of the following is WRONG in the writer’s opinion?

  A. Where there is work there is pressure.

  B. Work shouldn’t be regarded as punishment or burden.

  C. All modern men are worried and low in spirit.

  D. A certain amount of pressure is necessary.

From the text we can know that when pressure is too big, ________.

  A. we should drink coffee with our friends

  B. we can get help and comfort from our friends or families.

  C. we can go home because it is warm

  D. to talk out the problem to our friends and families is the best way.

There was once an 11-year-old boy who went fishing every time he went to an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.

On the day before the bass（鱸魚） opened, he and his farther were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then he tied a small silver lure（魚餌） put it into the lake. Suddenly the boy felt that something very big was pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.

The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father struck a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm—two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, and then at the boy. ”You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.

“Dad!” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around. No other fishermen or boats could be seen in the moonlight. He looked at his father again.

Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water.

The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never see such a big fish again.

That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York city. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.

And he was right. He has never caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago again. But he does see the same fish---again and again—ever time he has an ethical(道德的) decision to make. His father had taught him that ethics are simply a matter of right or wrong, but it is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.

Why did the father strike a match?

A. To check the time.

B. To light his cigarette.

C. To have a closer look at the fish.

D. To find whether there was somebody nearby.

What happened when they found it was two hours before the season opened?

A. The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.

B. The father asked the boy to put the fish back into the lake.

C. The boy and his father discussed what to do with the fish.

D. They worried other fishermen might discover what they had done.

Why did the architect go fishing with his children at the same place?

A .It was a good place for fishing.

B .It brought the past to his mind.

C .They could catch a big fish there.

D. He wanted to give them a moral lesson.
