摘要:(E) In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like “serious illness of a family member were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress - it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women’s magazines ran headlines like “Stress causes illness! If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many - like the death of a loved one - are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we’re all vulnerable and passive in the face of adversity . But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and mental strain. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS.) 81. According to Holmes-Rahe’s medical research, stress can be caused by . 82. The studies on stress in the early 1970’s led to . 83. Why is it impossible to avoid all stressful events in our daily life? 84. What benefits can we gain from experiencing ups and downs in life? 第II卷

A
Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied. “Things aren’t always what they seem.”
  The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable(好客的) farmer and his wife. After sharing the little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field. The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen? Why did you watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused, “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”
“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied.
“When we stayed in the basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal the wall so that he wouldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”
56.Why did the older angel repair the hole for the rich family?
A.Because she didn’t like the greedy owner.
B.Because she wanted to save the gold for the poor.
C.Because the basement was too cold to stay in.
D.Because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help.
57.The youngest angel was very angry because      .
A.the old angel killed the farmer’s cow
B.the old angel treated the two families differently
C.the wealthy man gave them a bad place to live
D.the angel of death took the cow away
58.Why did the older angel let the farmer’s cow die?
  A.Because God wanted the older angel to take the cow.
B.Because she wanted to teach the youngest angel a lesson.
  C.Because she wanted to save the farmer’s wife.
  D.Because she thinks it is unfair to the rich
59.The story tries to tell the reader that________.
  A.angels are always ready to help the poor
  B.what we see is not necessarily what it is
