13．虽然工作繁忙，每天我们都应该匀出一点时间锻炼身体，放松心情． （relax）Although we are busy （in） doing our work/with our work，we should set aside some time every day to do（physical） exercise and relax ourselves．．

分析 Although we are busy （in） doing our work/with our work，we should set aside some time every day to do（physical） exercise and relax ourselves．

解答 Although we are busy （in） doing our work/with our work，we should set aside some time every day to do（physical） exercise and relax ourselves．
这是对事情的一种看法，所以用一般现在时．
根据句意"虽然工作繁忙，每天我们都应该匀出一点时间"可知，应该使用although引导的让步状语从句，主句中含有动词不定式to do（physical） exercise作目的状语；be busy （in） doing sth或be busy with sth忙于做某事；set aside留出，存储．

点评 注意although不能和but连用，翻译成汉语时是要翻译成"虽然…但是…"．

3．A study of more than five million books，both fiction and non-fiction，has found a marked decline in the use of emotional words over time．The researchers form the University of Bristol used Google Ngram Viewer，a facility for finding the frequency of terms in scanned books，to search for more than 600particular words identified as representing anger，dislike，fear，joy，sadness and surprise．
They found that almost all of the categories （类别） showed a drop in these"mood words"over time．Only in the category of fear was there an increase in usage．
"It is a steady and continuous decrease，"said Dr Alberto Acerbi．He assumed that the result might be explained by a change in the position occupied by literature，in a crowded media landscape．"One thing could be that in parallel to books the 20th century saw the start of other media．Maybe these media-movies，radio，drama-had more emotional content than books．"
Although both joy and sadness followed the general downwards trend，the research，published in the journal PLOS One，found that they also exhibited another interesting behaviour：the ratio （比率） between the two varied greatly，apparently mirroring historical events．
During the Roaring Twenties the joy-to-sadness ratio reached a peak that would not occur again until before the recent financial crash．But the ratio plunged at the height of the Second World War．Nevertheless，the researchers held a reserved opinion about their claim that their result reflected wider social trends．In the paper，they even argue that the reverse could be true．
"It has been suggested，for example，that it was the suppression （压抑） of desire in ordinary Elizabethan English life that increased demand for writing‘filled with romance and sex'…perhaps，"they conclude，"songs and books may not reflect the real population any more than catwalk models reflect the average body．"

81．A study of more than five million books indicated a decline in"mood words"over time exceptin the category of fear．
82．According to Dr Alberto Acerbi，one reason for the drop of"mood words"in books may be thatthe literary position has changed in a crowded media landscape/other media-movies，radio，drama-
had more emotional content．
83．What were the two periods when the joy-to-sadness ratio was at its highest？During the roaring Twenties and before the recent financial crash．
84．While the researchers found some changes in the use of"mood words"in books，they were
not sure thattheir research result reflected wider social trends/songs and books reflected the real population．
4．Before my first summer vacation at college，my roommate Ted asked to me to work with him on his father's farm in Argentina．The idea of spending two months in Argentine was exciting．Then I began having second thoughts．I had never been far from New England，and I had been homesick my first few weeks at college．What would it be like in a strange country？What about the language？The more I thought about it，the more the idea worried me．
In the end I turned down the invitation．As soon as Ted asked somebody else to go，I began kicking myself．I had turned down something I wanted to do because I was scared，and had ended up feeling depressed．That unhappy summer taught me a valuable lesson out of which I developed a rule for myself：do what makes you anxious； don't do what makes you depressed．
At the end of my senior year，I began to think about becoming a writer．But my professor was urging me to aim at teaching．I hesitated．The idea of trying to live by writing was a lot scarier than spending a summer in Argentina．Back and forth I went，making my decision，unmaking it．Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing，that downhearted feeling went through me．
Giving up on what I really wanted to do depressed me．Right then I learned another lesson．To avoid that kind of depression meant having to bear a certain amount of worry and concern．
When I first began writing articles，I was frequently required to interview big names．Before each interview I would get butterflies in the stomach and my hands would shake．One person I particularly admired was the great composer Duke Ellington．On the stage and on television，he seemed the very model of confidence．Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright．If the highly honored Ellington，who had appeared on the bandstand some 10，000times over 30years，had anxiety attacks，who was I to think I could avoid them？I went on doing those frightening interviews．Then I realized to my astonishment that I was even looking forward to the interviews．What had happened to those butterflies？
Well，in truth，they were still there，but there were fewer of them．I had benefited，I discovered，from a process psychologists call"extinction"．If you put an individual in an anxious situation often enough，he will eventually learn that there isn't anything to be worried about，which brings me to a conclusion：you'll never get rid of anxiety by avoiding the things that caused it．
The point is that the new，the different，is definitely scary．But each time you try something，you learn，and as the learning piles up，the world opens to you．

1．I used to think of myself as a fairly open person，but my bookshelves told a different story．Apart from a few Indian novels and the Australian and South African book，my literature collection consisted of British and American titles．Worse still，I hardly ever read anything in translation．My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking authors．
So，at the start of 2012，I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing．As I was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop，I decided to ask the planet's readers for help．I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English．
The response was amazing．Before I knew it，people all over the planet were getting in touch with ideas and offers of help．Some posted me books from their home countries．Others did hours of research on my behalf．In addition，several writers sent me unpublished translations of their novels，giving me a rare opportunity to read works otherwise unavailable to the 62% of the British who only speak English．Even so，selecting books was no easy task．With translations making up only around 4.5 percent of literary works published in the UK and Ireland，getting English versions （版本）of stories was difficult．
But the effort was worth it．I found I was visiting the mental space of the storytellers．These stories not only opened my mind to the real life in other places，but opened my heart to the way people there might feel．
And that in turn changed my thinking．Through reading the stories shared with me by bookish strangers around the globe，I realised I was not alone，but part of a network that spread all over the planet．
21．Which of the following might be found on the blog A Year of Reading the World？A

2．Most people look forward to retirement as a time when they can finally take up activities that they never had the time or energy to pursue before．But some recent studies on people in their golden years are disturbing：they suggest that retirees are more likely to suffer from depression and possibly higher rates of other diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure．That's why a new study of French workers is welcome news．
Led by Hugo Westerlund，a professor of psychology at Stockholm University，the study of more than 14，000workers found lower rates of depression and fatigue （疲劳） in people after they got tired while they were still employed．
The scientists followed the employees of the French national gas and electric company for 14years．They found in the year immediately after retirement，the volunteers reported 40% fewer depressive symptoms than they had in the year before their retirement．The researchers also found an 81% drop in reports of both mental and physical fatigue over the same time period．
Clearly，said Westerlund，much of these decrease in physical and mental fatigue can be traced back to relief from the stresses of work．The decline in depressive symptoms suggests that retirement may be having a positive mental effect，too，which may have a lot to do with the generous pensions （养老金） that French workers enjoy．Most retirees in that country still benefit from about 80% of their yearly salaries．
"The economic or financial situation in retirement is very important，"Westerlund says．"We don't know if the decrease in fatigue and depressive symptoms is because of the removal of something bad while in work or the addition of something good while in retirement．But no matter what the reason，if life in retirement is not comfortable，then we won't see the improvements we did．"
However，in European nations like France，governments are considering changes to pension plans，which may affect retirees'health after they leave their jobs-with less of a financial safety net，workers may no longer seem so mentally and physically happy to be out of work．

78．According to some recent studies，retired people may have depression and higher rates of other diseases likeheart disease and high blood pressure．
79．Westerlund's group found that in the year just after the retirement most retired French workers felt much less tired bothmentally and physically．
80．What does the word"improvements"in paragraph 5refer to？The decrease in fatigue and depressive symptoms．
81．Retirement may make people happier withmore of a financial safety net．
16．Modern（现代）agriculture has more advantages than traditional agriculture．
