A couple had been married for over 60 years. They shared everything, talked about everything and kept no secrets 【1】 each other except that the woman had a box in a drawer 【2】 she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.

He'd never thought about it ever since. One day 【3】 woman got very sick and the doctor said she wouldn't recover. To sort out their affairs, the husband took down the box and 【4】 (bring) it to his wife's bedside. She agreed it was time that he should know 【5】 was in the box.

【6】(open) it, he found two small table mats and a sum of money totaling $25,000. He asked her about the contents, "When we were to be married," she said, "my grandma told me the secret of happy 【7】 (marry) was never to argue, and I should just keep quiet and make a mat 【8】 I got angry with you."

The man was so 【9】(move) that he had to fight back tears. She had only been angry with him twice in all those years of living and loving! "Honey", he said, "that explains the mats, but what about the money? Where did it come from?"

"Oh", she said, "that's the money I made from selling 【10】."

In a new study,researchers at Penn State University found significantly and consistently lower levels of cortisol（皮质醇）released in response to stress,in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home.This was true for both men and women,and parents and people without children.

Both men and women showed less stress at work.But women were more likely to report feeling happier there. Men were more likely to feel happier at home.Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many."Paid work is more valued in society,"says Sarah Damaske,the lead researcher on the study. "Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding."

We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards.Yet none of us,no matter how long we've been doing it,ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.

The support and friendship of co-workers also offer stress relief.At home,meanwhile,stress spreads and accumulates（积累）quickly."That's the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,"Dr.Damaske says.

Much of the advice to families and couples include the warning to "leave work stress at the office" and even to change our mind-set （思维定式）from work to home,for example,a walk around the block.The recent findings,though,suggest our home life,not our attitude,might be due for some change.

【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined word "taxing"?

A. stressful. B. cheerful.

C. worthwhile. D. rewarding.

【2】What did the research in the second paragraph prove?

A. Men felt better at home.

B. Women felt they had less time.

C. Women were easier to feel happier.

D. Most people felt more stress at home.

【3】According lo the recent findings,what should we change to solve the problem mentioned?

A. Our attitude. B. Our mind-set.

C. Our home life. D. Our working style.
