6、    why is it that many people who have suffered a major shock，such as divorce or death of a family member，seem to be weaker against a variety of major and minor illness. One common idea among psychologists has been that people could deal with suffering more effectively if they were able to understand and accept it. Indeed，many experts stress the value of expressing thoughts and feelings connected with upsetting events.

    Recently，a team of medical researchers studied the links between describing psychologically painful events and long―term health. In one experiment healthy college students were asked to write about either personally disturbing experiences or ordinary topics over a period of four days. In the months afterwards，students who had chosen to show their inner thoughts and feelings in their writing visited the health center for illness much less often than those who had written about everyday topics.

    In an experiment that followed，another group of healthy students were given the four-day writing exercises. Some chose to write about highly personal and upsetting experiences(including loneliness，problems with family and friends，and health). When questioned immediately afterwards，they said that they did not feel any better. However，their blood samples(樣本)taken before and after the experiment showed evidence of an improved resistance to illness. The white cells that right off bacteria and viruses had increased their reaction and sensitivity to these “invaders”. This trend continued over the following six weeks，when another blood sample was taken. Individuals who showed the best results were those who wrote about topics that they had actively kept from telling others about

    The researchers suggested that failure to face up to painful experience can be a form of stress itself，and can increase the possibility of illness . It follows，then，that actively dealing with a major shock makes possible its understanding and acceptance. The answer is not to suffer in silence. It may not always be possible to talk about personal problems，but writing them down will help the body to fight disease in the long run

72. In the first experiment，the students who wrote about painful events        .

    A. started to suffer psychological problems

    B. enjoyed sharing their inner thought and feelings

    C. were less likely to seek treatment for sickness

    D. couldn't deal with suffering effectively

73. People who wrote about personal problems in the second experiment          

    A. had more bacteria and viruses in their blood

    B. had decreased feelings of loneliness

    C. showed an improved white cell reaction

    D. did better in their writing tasks

 74 What does the underlined word “invaders” refer to?

    A. The white cells.

    B. Bacteria and viruses.     

    C. Resistance to illness.

    D. The reaction and sensitivity of the cells.

75. What is the best title of the passage?

    A. Suffering and health.

    B. Inner thoughts and feelings.

    C. Illness and health

    D. Mental illness and social acceptance.

5、    Consumers are being confused and misled by the environmental claims(聲稱)made by household products，according to a  green labeling(標簽)”study published by Consumers International Friday.

    Among the report’s more outrageous(令人無法容忍的)finding―a German fertilizer described itself as “earthworm friendly”，a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting”. and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentally friendlier”.

    The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council(NCC)for lobby group Consumers International. It was supported by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission. “While many good and useful claims are being made，it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring that shoppers are well informed about the environmental influence of products they buy，”said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.

    The 10-country study examined product packaging in Britain，Western Europe，Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average. The report focused on claims made by specific products，such as detergent(洗滌劑)and garden products. It did not test the claims，but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO).

    Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2，000 products and found many unclear or too misleading to meet ISO standards.

    “Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims，while paints were third on out list with 73. The high numbers show how confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading，”said report researcher Philip Page.

    The ISO labeling standards ban unclear or misleading claims on product packaging，because terms such as “environmentally friendly’’ and ”non-polluting” cannot be proved. “What we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO，”said Page.

68. According to the passage，the NCC found it outrageous that            .

    A. all the products claim to meet ISO standards

    B. the claims made by products are often unclear or misleading

    C. consumers would believe many of the manufactures’ claims

    D. few products actually prove to be environment friendly

69. As indicated in this passage，with so many good claims, the consumers          

    A. are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buy

    B. are still not willing to pay more for products with green labeling

    C. are becoming more aware of the effects different products have on the environment

    D. still do not know the exact influence of different products on the environment

70. The purpose of the study carried out by Britain’s NCC is to          .

    A. find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmental standards

    B. inform the consumers of the environmental influence of the products they buy

    C. examine claims made by products against ISO standards

    D. revise the guidelines set by the International Standards Organization

 71. It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer International wants to           

    A. help product labeling satisfy ISO requirements

    B. prove the effects of non―polluting products

    C. see all household products meet environmental standards

    D. warn consumers of the danger of so―called green products

4、 Dear Jack，

    Thank you for your congratulations，my congratulations to you! I remember Margaret Field very well―the girl with that wonderful red hair and those beautiful eyes.  She was the most popular girl in our college. You’re a very lucky fellow and I'm sure you’11 be very happy with her.

    Brenda and I are very lucky，too. Her father gave us this house as a wedding present，so we don't have to pay rent. The house and furniture are insured already，so I can’t help you by giving you that kind of business. I wish I'd known earlier that you were in the insurance business. I'd certainly have asked you to give me a policy for the house and its contents.

    I'm rather doubtful about the value of life insurance. It’s my duty，I know，to see that there will be money for my wife，and later on for the children，in the event of my early death. But I feel that it's wiser to put my money into the shares of good business companies. You say I can get a policy that will provide 50，000 when I'm 65. Yes，but that time is nearly forty years away，and what will 50，000 be worth then?The real value of money has been going down and prices go up a little every year，perhaps only 4％or 5％，but the movement is always up，never down. 50，000 in fifty years from now may be worth only two―thirds or even a half of what it is worth today. Now if I put my savings into the shares of the big oil companies，or aircraft manufacturers，the value of the shares will go up with the rise in costs and prices. So the real value of my money would remain about the same，wouldn’t it?I know your answer. You’ll say that your life insurance policy provides against my possible death. I've got to balance that possibility against the almost certain fall in the value of money?

    I'd very much like you to meet Brenda. Can you come for a weekend some time?What about next Saturday?If you can manage it，please let me know which train you’re coming by，and I’ll meet you at the station. We can have a talk about life insurance and perhaps you’ll succeed in making me see that life insurance is a good thing.

                                                             Yours sincerely，

                                                                   Fred

2、    “Yes，I'll be ready at nine in the morning. Goodbye，dear，and thanks again. “It had not been an easy telephone call for Mrs. Robson to make.
