It is well known that the Japanese people’s love of fish is almost as a bee’s interest in honey. As fish populations were decreasing, fishing companies were forced to fish further and further away from the shore. Then they had a big challenge－how to keep the fish fresh for longer. So they decided to keep the fish stored in freezers on the boats. But the public did not like frozen fish. So again the fishing companies had a new bigger challenge. What they decided to do was to have fish tanks on their boats. After catching fishes, they would put them in the tanks and keep them living there until they got back to shore. But in this protected environment, lacking predators (掠食者)，the fish stopped moving around. The Japanese public felt these dull fish did not taste fresh, which had an unpleasant effect upon sales. Once again the fishing companies had an even bigger challenge ...

Stop for a minute! Before we go any further, I would like to ask “What are your challenges? How do you handle an unexpected challenge?” May I think it this way that you should try to attack your challenges? Conquer（战胜） them with a Swiss Army knife. Take the most proper and simple tool that you can adopt to deal with your situation.

Now back to our story. How did the Japanese finally figure out the fresh fish problem？Sharks! You might think the same. Sharks were caught and put into the tanks with other fishes. Don’t sharks eat fish? Well, they do eat a few fish, but they did also keep more fish active and alert (警觉的). The fish stay fresh because they are challenged.

Now, try to keep yourself fresh by finding your own shark to offer yourself a challenge in your own business and career.

The main reason for the fishing company to fish in the far sea was that         .

       A. the fish resource near the shore was on the decrease

      B. the fishes farther away from the sea tasted fresher         

C. people would prefer eating fresh fishes to less fresh ones

       D. it was getting harder and harder to keep fishes fresh

Which of the following statements is true?

       A. Japanese people love honey as much as a bee does.

B. The fish kept in tanks didn’t sell well because of their taste.

C. The fish stored in the protected environment tasted the best.

D. The fish kept in tanks didn’t taste fresh because they died before reaching the restaurant.

The underlined part of the last paragraph means “            .”

       A. If you went fishing, you might do as the fishing companies did

       B. Try to find a big shark, and you will meet your challenge

      C. To succeed in life, you should always be ready to meet challenges

       D. Sharks are usually compared to the challenges in people’s life

The purpose for the author to write the passage is to        .

       A. tell the readers “no pains, no gains”

       B. tell the readers how the Japanese keep the fish fresh

       C. advise readers to look for challenges to make progress

D. advise readers to find something difficult to do

       A newly-established line of research suggests that relationships can keep us healthier. And a new study finds those social connections may also help us live longer.

       This new study combined a large number of previous studies and concluded that a lack of social interactions ranks right up with smoking, obesity（肥胖）, and alcoholism as a risk factor for death.

       Researchers from Brigham Young University analyzed 148 studies with a total of some 300,000 participants, tracking their social relationships and whether they survived to the end of their particular study, which averaged about seven years.

       "Those who scored higher on those measures of social relationships were 50 percent more likely to be alive at that follow-up than people who scored low on those measures," said Professor Julianne Holt-Lunstad, one of the authors of the study.

       She pointed out several ways relationships can affect our health. They can help us cope with stress. They can help us maintain healthy habits like eating well, exercising or seeing a doctor. And there's increasing research that shows a direct but poorly-understood link between relationships and physiological(生理的) processes in the body.

       "So for instance, our relationships have been linked to lower blood pressure, better immune（免疫的） functioning, and even inflammatory（发炎的） processes that are implicated in a number of diseases," said Holt-Lunstad. "And so our relationships can influence our health in a variety of ways that are all very important."

       Even though Holt-Lunstad and her colleagues looked at almost 150 different scientific studies, most of them didn't assess the quality of the relationships.

       "And certainly relationship quality matters, and not all relationships are entirely positive," she conceded. "And so it's possible that the effects that we have reported may be a conservative estimate, and that the odds of survival associated with high-quality relationships may actually be larger."

       Speaking via Skype, Julianne Holt-Lunstad said her research suggests that policy makers need to consider relationships as a health issue. So just as no-smoking zones have expanded over the years, she suggests that city planners, for example, should consider whether their decisions might promote or hinder the development of personal relationships.
