Do you ever find yourself longing for some time for yourself？Many of us are so busy with work，school，and home life that often there is no time left over to do something that you enjoy．What follows are some ways to carve out that essential time you need to slow down，enjoy life．
（31）BThis is a great one because you're accomplishing many things at once．You're getting exercise，you have time to think or enjoy music，and you're helping to save the environment．Arrive early．（32）FThen use this time for yourself：reading，writing，relaxation，thinking，whatever．

解答 31．B 信息提取题．根据下一句You're getting exercise，you have time to think or enjoy music，and you're helping to save the environment．你得到锻炼，你有时间思考或享受音乐，你帮助拯救环境．从这些信息中可以推断出是走着去工作，所以答案选B．

34．D 信息提取题．根据句子Evenings with yourself和句子If others ask you to do things those nights提到nights，D选项的句意符合语境．

3．Most damagingly，anger weakens a person's ability to think clearly and keep control over his behaviour．The angry person loses objectivity in evaluating the emotional significance of the person or situation that arouses his anger．
Not everyone experiences anger in the same way； what angers one person may amuse another．The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological and cultural forces．In contemporary culture，physical expressions of anger are generally considered too socially har mful to be tolerated．We no longer regard duels（决斗） as an appropriate expression of anger resulting from one person's awareness of insulting behaviour on the part of another．
Anger can be identified in the brain，where the electrical activity changes．Under most conditions EEG （脑电图） measures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right and left prefrontal （额叶前部） areas．Behaviourally this corresponds to the general even-handed disposition （意向）that most of us possess most of the time．But when we are angry the EEG of the right and left prefrontal areas aren't balanced and．as a res ult of this，we're likely to react．And our behavioural response to anger is different from our response to other emotions，whether positive or negative．
Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour：we move closer to people we like．Most negative emotions，in contrast，are associated with avoidance behaviour：we move away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious．But anger is an exception to this pattern．The angrier we are．the more likely we are to move towards the object of our anger．This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as offensive anger：the angry person moves closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his anger．This approach-and-confront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry （不对称 ） of EEG activity．Interestingly，this asymmetry lessens if the angry person can experience empathy （同感） towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry response．In defensive anger，in contrast，the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels helpless in the face of the anger-inspiring situation．
62．The"duels"example in Paragraph 2 proves that the expression of anger．C
A．usually has a biological basis        
B．varies among people
C．is socially and culturally shaped       
D．influences one's thinking and evaluation
63．What changes can be found in an angry brain？B
A．Balanced electrical activity can be spotted．
B．Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal areas．
C．Electrical activity corresponds to one's behaviour．
D．Electrical activity agrees with one's disposition．
64．Which of the foll owing is typical of offensive anger？A
A．Approaching the source of anger．
B．Trying to control what is disliked．
C．Moving away from what is disliked．
D．Feeling helpless in the face of anger．
65．What is the key message of the last paragraph？D

B．How anger relates to other emotions．

13．Despite his lack of experience，he got the job．
20．My parents were in a huge argument，and I was really upset about it．I didn't know who I should talk with about how I was feeling．So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend's house．Though I knew I wouldn't tell her about my parents'situation，I was looking forward to getting out of the house．I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood．Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on．
I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about．But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark．I went to his room and told him that I'd stay with him until the power was restored．He was quite happy and said，"Great opportunity．"
"What is it？"I asked．
"To talk，you and I"he said．"To hold a private little meeting about what we're going to do with your mom and dad，and what we're going to do with ourselves now that we're in the situation we are in．"
"But we can't do anything about it．Grandpa，"I said，surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same"boat"as I was．
And that's how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started．Sitting in the dark，we talked about our feelings and fears of life-from how fast things change，to how they sometimes don't change fast enough．That night，because the power went out，I found a new friend，with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains，whatever they may be．Suddenly，the lights all came back on．"Well，"he said，"I guess that means you'll want to go now．I really like our talk．I hope the power will go out every few nights!"

17．Life is difficult．
    It is great truth because once we truly understand and accept it，then life is no longer difficult．
 Most do not fully see this truth．Instead，they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy．It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or upon their familie s，their class，or even their nation．
 What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one．Problems，depending on their nature，cause us sadness，loneliness or regret or anger and fear．These are uncomfortable feelings，often as painful as any kind of physical pain．And since life causes an endless series of problems，life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy．
Yet，it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning．Problems are the serious tests that tell us success from failure． When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit，we encourage the human ability to solve problems，just as in school we set problems for our children to solve．It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn．As Benjamin Franklin said，"Those things that hurt instruct．"It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems．
25．From the passage，it can be inferred thatB．
A．everybody has problems
B．we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of life
C．life is difficult because our problems bring us pain
