A stress ball is a small ball designed to help relieve stress by exercising the muscles in the hand. Actually, a stress ball does not necessarily have to be shaped like a ball. 1. The main characteristic is that it can fit easily in a hand, and it is changeable, allowing a user to squeeze it out of shape while providing some resistance to force the muscles of the hand to work.

2. Squeezing a stress ball while imagining a reduction in stress is a frequently-recommended stress management tool for people in demanding jobs. Stress balls are often given away at conferences and other corporate events as promotional tools, reflecting their widespread use.

In addition to this, a stress ball can be useful for physical strain. Physical therapists use a very similar tool to help people flex and stretch the muscles in their hands. Squeezing a stress ball can reduce the amount of strain associated with repetitive tasks like typing. 3. .

A variety of things can be used to fill a stress ball. The filling should be firm, with a bit of give to it, forcing people to work to deform the stress ball. You can make your own basic stress ball by filling a balloon with corn starch£¨µí·Û£©. Beans and plastic granules£¨¿ÅÁ££© may also be used. 4. .

Using a stress ball doesn¡¯t require any particular instructions or skills. 5. Repeated use of a stress ball can, of course, cause the same problems that other repetitive motions are associated with, but taking breaks from typing and other repetitive tasks to squeeze a stress ball a few times can be beneficial.

A. However, these fillings are less smooth.

B. Also, it can help to develop hand strength.

C. All you need to do is pick the ball and squeeze it.

D. A wide variety of shapes can be found on the market.

E. One of the best handmade gifts for men is a stress ball.

F. Stress balls are supposed to be very useful for mental stress relief.

G. This can be easily cured by keeping something like a stress ball in the hand.

The old shopkeeper led me through to the back of the shop. The room was filled with boxes and dusty photographs of people holding packages in their hands.

Mr. Hopkins said, "We have a very wide choice of items for sale. Whenever I serve a new customer, I take his picture. " Mr. Hopkins pointed to an ancient camera on a table.

I began to appreciate the lovely items on sale. I spent a very pleasant hour being shown the commodi-ties in the shop. Finally, I bought an antique jewelry box, a pair of riding boots and a sewing machine.

I was very excited that I had found such a good little shop. "I will tell all my friends about your love-ly place. " I told the shopkeeper. "Please don't do that, sir. " said Mr. Hopkins. "This is a special place for special people. You must keep this shop a secret. " Then he took my photograph and handed me the picture straight away.

" That was quick ! " I exclaimed. In the picture I looked proud and excited holding the presents I had bought there.

On Christmas Day, my friends and relatives were delighted with the presents I had bought for them.

For weeks, my brother begged me to take him to the wonderful little shop. I finally agreed.

We walked along Oxford Street, past the department store and found---nothing. In its place was an empty space being used as a car park. I checked the area again. There was the music shop, and there was the department store. In between should have been Hopkins and Son, but it wasn't there.

Just then, an old policeman came. "Are you looking for something, sir?" he asked. "I am looking for a little shop called Hopkins and Son. "

"Oh yes, there was a shop here 'once called Hopkins and Son. But it was knocked down over 30 years ago. "

I looked again at the place, then I reached into my pocket and took out the photograph that Mr. Hop-kins had taken of me holding my presents in the little shop.

" How strange ! " I screamed.

Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new ¡°species¡± of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name ¡ª phubbers£¨µÍÍ·×壩.

Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.

Although the ending sounds overstated the damage phubbing can bring is real.

Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. ¡°Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,¡± Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. ¡°the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.¡± Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.

But that¡¯s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.

It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

1.For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?

A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.

B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.

C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.

B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.

C. He will cause the destruction of the world.

D. He might get separated from his friends and family.

3.Which of the following may be the author¡¯s attitude towards phubbing?

A. Supportive. B. Opposed.

C. Optimistic. D. Objective.

4.What may the passage talk about next?

B. People addicted to phubbing.

C. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing

D. Consequences of phubbing.

Earlier this year, the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organizations ¡ª including The New York Times, The Guardian, and the BBC ¡ª to place news stories directly into users¡¯ personal Facebook webpage. Stories published using Facebook Instant will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher, who will keep all the advertising income the stories earn ¡ª at least for now. The deal shows how important social media has become to news organizations, and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing ¡ª and has been for a while.

When Google News began in 2002, many saw it as the death of the newspaper. It had no human editor. Instead Google used, and still uses, a secret computer program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader¡¯s personal interests. More recently, Associated Press and Yahoo! have been publishing computer-written articles. Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports ¡ª areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.

Should we be worried about such developments? I think we should. One concern is that facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline, a way of putting people in front of advertisements. It isn¡¯t their primary function ¡ª so if it stops making them lots of money, they're likely to stop doing it.

There¡¯s also a concern that computer-written articles are not actually journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A well-written news story puts information in context, offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.

Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computer-written story over a carefully shaped article ¡ª at least for daily news ¡ª I don't think the computers will be writing any in-depth articles for a while yet.

1. What is the main purpose of the article?

A. To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook..

B. To advise readers against reading computer-written news.

C. To express concern about recent trends in online news.

D. To describe the process of online news reporting.

2.Computer-written news reports have so far focused on sports and finance because ________.

A. these are the most popular topics for online readers

B. there are fewer journalists specializing in these areas

C. information on these topics is more easily available

D. writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas

3.What does the underlined word ¡°It¡± in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Journalism. B. Advertising.

C. Facebook. D. Business.

4.In Paragraph 4, which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a well-written news article?

A. The information presented is up-to-date.

B. The author's opinion is clear.

C. Different views on the topic are presented.

D. The language used is vivid.

I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier£¨ÊÕÒø̨£©in her general store. 1._ I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying ¡°thank you.¡±

At first I was paid in candy. 2. I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. 3.

By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics£¨»¯×±Æ·£©I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as ¡°What color do you think I should wear?¡± I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup£¨»¯×±£©ideas. 4.

The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn¡¯t need to be a rocket scientist¡ªyou needed to be a great listener. 5. Expect they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

A. Before long, she let me sit there by myself.

B. Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.

C.Later I received 50 cents an hour.

D.I ended my selling a record amount of cosmetics.

E. My grandma¡¯s trust taught me how to handle responsibility¡£

F. Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.

G. Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers.
