As the pace of life continues to increase,we are fast losing the art of relaxation.Once you are in the habit of rushing through life,being on the go from morning till night,it is hard to slow down.But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it.In fact,it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be.A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life.It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual.Some people are not afraid of stress,and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities,others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties.When exposed to stress,in whatever form,we react both chemically and physically.In fact we make choice between “fright or fight” and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death.The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme,but however little the stress,it involves the same response.It is when such a reaction lasts long,through continued exposure to stress,that health becomes endangered.Since we can’t remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could),we need to find ways to deal with it.

B

Fifteen years ago,I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy.After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea,white buildings and green olive trees,I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.

Unfortunately,just as I took out my camera,a woman approached from behind,and planted herself right in front of my view.Like me,this woman was here to stop,sigh and appreciate the view.

Patient as I was,after about 15 minutes,my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take,I grew frustrated.Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape?Sure,I could have asked her,but something prevented me from doing so.She seemed so content in her observation.I didn’t want to mess with that.

Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored.The woman was still there.I decided to take the photo anyway.And now when I look at it,I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting.The landscape,beautiful on its own,somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.

This photo,with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it,now hangs on a wall in my bedroom.What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall?A bedroom,after all,is a very private space,in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存).In some ways,she lives in my house.

Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces.Perhaps this is what photos are for:to remind us that we all appreciate beauty,that we all share a common desire for pleasure,for connection,for something that is greater than us.

That photo is a reminder,a captured moment,an unspoken conversation between two women,separated only by a thin square of glass.

11.What happened when the author was about to take a photo?

A.Her camera stopped working.

B.A woman blocked her view.

C.Someone asked her to leave.

D.A friend approached from behind.

12.According to the author,the woman was probably 　　　. 

A.enjoying herself  B.losing her patience

C.waiting for the sunset                D.thinking about her past

13.In the author’s opinion,what makes the photo so alive?

A.The rich color of the landscape.

B.The perfect positioning of the camera.

C.The woman’s existence in the photo.

D.The soft sunlight that summer day.

14.The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand 　　　. 

A.the need to be close to nature

B.the importance of private space

C.the joy of the vacation in Italy

D.the shared passion for beauty

15.The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon 　　　. 

A.a particular life experience

B.the pleasure of traveling

C.the art of photography

D.a lost friendship

C

Jules Verne was born on 8 February 1828 in the French city of Nantes. From an early age, he had a fascination with exploration and discovery. When he was six, his teacher, Madame Sambin, told him stories about her husband, who disappeared while travelling the world on a ship 30 years before. She told her class that he was like Robinson Crusoe, a fictional (虚构的) castaway who lived on a desert island. Verne would later write stories about similar characters.

In 1847, Verne was sent by his family to study law at a university in Paris, but he preferred to write novels, poems and plays. After graduating, he realized he wanted to write science adventure stories. This had never been done before, but Verne was sure that it would be a success. His first story, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was published in September 1862. His career lasted for more than 40 years, during which time he wrote more than 60 gripping (扣人心弦的) stories.

To begin with, Verne wrote positive and optimistic books. Many of these were to be his most popular creations. Although some included fantastical elements, they were usually based on scientific facts, making them believable. These happy stories weren’t to last. As he got older, Verne became less confident in the idea that science and technology were always good for the planet. His books started to include more scientists who used technology for their own—sometimes evil—purposes. Verne died on 24 March 1905, but new books continued to be published until 1919. These stories were based on ideas Verne had written about while he was still alive, but featured new characters and plots created by his son, Michel.

In the 20th century, his books were translated into more than 140 languages and several successful film versions came out. His creations have been recognized as an inspiration for many scientists and inventors. Many of the futuristic ideas from his most popular books have since come true.

16. What is the function of paragraph 1?

A. To describe Verne’s discovery.

B. To introduce the characters of his stories.

C. To present the adventure of Sambin’s husband.

D. To show the teacher’s impact on Verne’s writing.

17. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 2?

A. Studying law.                             B. Graduating from university.

C. Writing novels, poems and plays.             D. Writing science adventure stories.

18. What can be learned about Verne’s later works?

A. They covered happy elements.

B. They were unbelievable stories.

C. They revealed Verne’s doubt on science.

D. They were partly written by Verne’s son.

19. Which of the following words can best describe Verne?

A. Talented and productive. B. Popular and caring.

C. Optimistic and generous. D. Friendly and honest.

20.Which of the following is true according to the passage？

A.Verne died on 24 March 1915                B.Verne‘s books were translated into 140 languages

C.Verne was good at science                   D.Verne was the most popular writer in French
