When you work long hours and Sundays are no longer a day to rest, feeling overworked can become the new normal. Take sportsmen as examples and do the same yourself, so you’ll know if you’re overworking.

Check your resting heart rate (率). Every day, before you get out of bed, take your pulse (脉搏). Usually your heart rate will stay within a few beats every minute. But when you’re overworked, the rate increases. If your heart rate is up in the morning, get a little more rest or sleep that night.

Check your emotions. Getting angry easily? If you can’t put your finger on a clear reason, there may be something wrong with your emotions. Hoping to change the condition won’t help. The only way out is a break.

Check your weight. If you lose or increase more than 1% of body weight from one day to the next, something is wrong. Maybe yesterday you were too busy and failed to notice you didn’t eat and drink enough. Or maybe you failed to notice that you were eating too much.

50. How many ways are mentioned to check if we’re overworking?

A. Two.                    B. Three.                      C. Four.                       D. Five.

51. When should we check our heart rate?

A. In the morning.     B. In the afternoon.              C. At noon.                   D. At night.

52. What is the best way to deal with the problem of overwork?

A. Doing more sports.                                          B. Drinking more water.

C. Having more rest.                                     D. Eating less food.

I am Cathy Brown. I am now working for this Sunshine Travel Service(旅行社) in Changsha. I have just come from Taiwan, the biggest island of China. It is the Pacific Ocean(太平洋) to the east of Fujian.

    Last week I took a group of French holidaymakers for a week’s trip to Taiwan. We travel all around the island. I found it is as beautiful as many other places of interest. My favorite place was the Sun and Moon Lake. You may ask why people call it so. If you fly high up over the lake and look down around from your plane, you will find the answer yourself. In the middle of this lake, there is a small island(岛屿). People call it Pearl(珍珠) Island because it looks like a pearl. On one side of Pearl Island the lake looks like a sun, and on the other side it looks like a moon. That is why people call the lake the Sun and Moon Lake.

    There are many mountains around this lake. One of the nearest is the Ali Mountain. We stayed there for three days. We also had a dance party with Gaoshan People. On our first day there we went to the mountain and watched the sun going down slowly in the west. On our last day we got up early and saw a very beautiful sunshine(日出).

    Taiwan is a wonderful place to visit.
