During a state of deep relaxation, several physiological changes take place in the body: the body's oxygen consumption is reduced; the heart beat decreases; muscle tension and sweating ease, and there is decreased sympathetic （交感的） nervous system activity．This restful state not only allows the body to repair and restore itself, but it has a calming effect on the consciousness．

    How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is a matter of opinion, and in some medical circles, a matter of controversy．A recent report by Dr．David Holmes of the University of Kansas in the journal “American psychologist” said that simply sitting in an armchair has just as many beneficial characteristics for the body as meditation （冥想） does．Researchers of other relaxation techniques disagree．These experts believe that more structured techniques, such as meditation, lead to a condition of deep relaxation．

    The debate goes on, but one thing appears to be clear: the relaxation response can be reached by a number of methods, and the methods themselves are not as important as getting there．One day, one method may work best; on another day, an alternative method may be more appropriate．Once you are aware of all the methods, you can find the one that works best on you．

    Some of the relaxation techniques are meditation, auto analysis and progressive muscle relaxation response．More than just sitting quietly in a chair, they have the added benefit of structure and discipline, and for these reasons appear to be more effective for most individuals．

1.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true when a person is in a state of deep relaxation?

       A．The body takes in less oxygen．

       B．The heart beats less frequently．

       C．Muscles become tense and the body sweats easily．

       D．The consciousness becomes more or less calmed．

2.People seem to agree that ____．

       A．sitting in an armchair benefits a person as meditation does

       B．structured relaxation techniques are more beneficial for a person

       C．to achieve a state of deep relaxation is possible through various means

       D．what people are all struggling for is a state of deep relaxation

3.In the third paragraph, the phrase “getting there” means _____．

       A．arriving at one’s destination  

       B．getting what one wants most

       C．finding out a suitable relaxation technique   

       D．reaching a state of deep relaxation

4.The author's attitude toward relaxation discussed in the passage is best described as ______．

       A．sceptical B．objective C．optimistic        D．critical

　　In one of the strongest indications of the power of the mind to influence the body, a growing collection of evidence finds that people who are depressed have a greatly higher risk of developing heart disease．

　　In a study of almost 3,000 men an 5,000 women depressed men were 70 percent more likely to develop coronary(心脏的)heart disease than those who weren’t depressed, While depressed women were just 12 percent more likely to develop heart disease, those who were severely depressed were 78 percent more likely, In fact, a 1998 study found that women who are depressed have a risk of dying from heart disease equal to that of women who smoke or who have high blood pressure．

　　The link works the other way around, too：While about 1 in 20 American adults experience major depression in a given year, that number jumps to about one in three among those who have survived a heart attack．

　　The more severe the depression, the more dangerous it is to your health．But some studies suggest that even mild depression, including feelings of hopelessness experienced over many years, may damage the heart．Other studies suggest depression may affect how well heart disease medications work．

　　Researchers aren’t sure what the connection between depression and heart disease is, but theories exist, One is that people who are depressed tend not to take very good care of themselves, They’re more likely to eat high–fat, high-calorie “comfort ”foods, less likely to exercise, and more likely to smoke, But beyond lifestyle, there is probably also a physiological link between depression and heart disease, Recent studies, found that people with severe depression tended to have a lack of heart-healthy O-3 fatty acids, People who are depressed also often have high levels of stress hormones(荷尔蒙)These keep the body primed for fight or flight, raising blood pressure and causing the heart to beat faster, all of which put additional stress on coronary arteries(动脉)and prevent the body’s natural healing mechanisms from working properly．

　　A whole branch of medicine is devoted to the complex links between mental health, the nervous system, the hormone system and so on, This science is gradually soring out how the mind-body connection affects us, or defense against heart disease．

　　Generally, an estimated 10 percent of American adults experience some form of depression every year, Although available treatments can east symptoms(症状)in more than 80 percent of people treated, less than half of those with depression get the help they need．

(1)

C．

　　WASHINGTON－Laura Straub is a very worried woman．Her job is to find families for foreign teenagers who expect to live with American families in the summer．

　　It’s not easy, even desperate．

　　“We have many children left to place：40 out of 75, ” said Straub, who works for a foreign exchange program called LEC．

　　When exchange programs started 50 years ago, more families were accommodating．For one thing, more mothers stayed home．

　　But now, increasing numbers of women work outside the home．Exchange-student programs have struggled in recent years to sign up host families for the 30 000 teenagers who come from abroad every year to spend an academic year in the United States, as well as the thousands more who take part in summer programs．

　　School systems in many parts of the US, unhappy about accepting non-taxpaying students, have also strictly limited the number of exchange students they accept．At the same time, the idea of hosting foreign students is becoming less exotic(异国情调的)．

　　In searching for host families, who usually receive no pay, exchange programs are increasingly broadening their requests to include everyone from young couples to the retired．

　　“We are open to many different types of families, ” said Vickie Weiner, eastern regional director for ASSE, a 25-year-old program that sends about 30 000 teenagers on academic-year exchange programs worldwide．

　　For elderly people, exchange students “keep us young－they really do, ” said Jean Foster, who is hosting 16-year-old Nina Porst from Denmark．

Why do foreign teenagers come to American families?

[　　]

A．

To find their parents in America．

B．

(2)

In the past, Straub’s job was easy, because _______．

[　　]

A．

there were only a few people going in for exchange programs

B．

American families were fond of foreign teenagers

C．

more American mothers wanted to receive pay by hosting foreign teenagers

D．

[　　]

A．

extend the range of host families

B．

limit the number of the exchange students

C．

borrow much money to pay for the costs

make hosting foreign students more exotic

(4)
