8．September 21，2050----At a press conference today it was announced that the first tourist heading for Mars will be the 38-year-old US businessman Patrick Clifford．He will leave the earth in the  launching window of June 2052 and set his foot on the surface of Mars in November，together with the other 6 astronauts assigned for the mission to further explore the planet．
Patrick has now two years of training ahead of him to get ready for the trip．Not only will he spend five months in getting to Mars，but another 600 days there before he can go back home．Patrick was of course very excited，"This has been my dream since I was four，and seeing the first man on Mars 20 years ago made me realize that it was possible．"
To be able to pay the $ 1.3 billion for his ticket for the trip Patrick sold his majority stake （股份） in the company his father had built．"I know that my father would have been proud of me if he had still been alive today，he knew what this means to me"，says Patrick．There is no risk though that you will find Patrick begging in your street corner when he comes back， but it is said that he was paid twice as much for his part of the company．
So，how is he going to spend his 600 days on the red planet？"Well，since I don't have a job when I get back after selling the company，I have plenty of time to come up with a new business idea"，he says and laughs．If he brings a shovel（铁锹）he can start building the first hotel there，but maybe he shouldn't expect too many guests until someone can offer a cheaper ticket．

2．Science can't explain the power of pets，but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure （血压） and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack，reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer．
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings．For some，an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife．A 2002study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress （紧张） levels and blood pressure in people-half of them pet owners-while they performed 5minutes of mental arithmetic （算术） or held a hand in ice water．Subjects completed the tasks alone，with a husband/wife，a close friend or with a pet．People with pets did it best．Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates．With pets in the room，people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions．It seems people feel more relaxed （放松）around pets，says Allen，who thinks it may be because pets don't judge．
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits．Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs； a separate group of 56people without pets were put on a diet program．On average，people lost about 11pounds，or 5% of their body weight．Their dogs did even better，losing an average of 12pounds，more than 15% of their body weight．Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but，say researchers，got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs-and found it worth doing．
28．What does the text mainly discuss？A
A．What pets bring to their owners．
B．How pets help people calm down．
C．People's opinions of keeping pets．

A．he has a pet companion
B．he has less stress of work
C．he often does mental arithmetic
D．he is taken care of by his family
30．According to Allen，why did the people do better with pets around when completing stressful tasks？C
A．They have lower blood pressure．
B．They become more patient．
C．They are less nervous．
D．They are in higher spirits．
31．The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports thatA．
A．people with dogs did more exercise
B．dogs lost the same weight as people did
C．dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D．people without dogs found the program unhelpful．
9．Have you ever felt sick or had a headache during a test？Have you ever been so worried about something that you can't sleep at night？（36）F This worry in your mind can made your body feel bad．You may feel angry，frustrated，scared，or afraid------which can give you a stomachache or a headache．
    （37）AGood or normal stress might happen when you're called to answer a question in class or when you have to give a speech．This kind of stress can help you to get things better done．（38）G
    But bad stress can happen if the stressful feelings keep going over a long time．You may not feel well if your parents are fighting，if a family member is sick，if you're having problems at school，or if you're going through anything else that makes you upset every day．（39）D    
（40）CThat means making good decisions about how to spend your time．If you're only dealing with school stuff and have no time to play，you can get stressed．Make sure you keep yourself in mind：Sleep，Exercise，Leisure（休闲），and Food．If you take care of yourself and get enough sleep and food，and if you exercise and leave time for fun stuff，you'll probably be less stressed out!
A．However，there are two different kinds of stress．
B．Can you tell a kind of stress from another one？
C．The best way to keep stress away is to have a balanced life．
D．That kind of stress isn't going to help you，and it can actually make you sick．
E．Since bad stress is harmful for us，you'd better try to change it into good stress．
F．If so，then you know what stress is．Stress is what you feel when you are worried or uncomfortable about something．
G．For example，you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare well before the test．
