TaskA. Headache Away

1. When you have a headache, do you rash to your medicine cabinet or to the drugstore for a pain reliever? If s o, you’re not alone. People in the United States spend over $2 billion a year on nonprescription pain relievers such as aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Although effective, these pain relievers are not without problems. For example, many pain relievers can have serious side effects.

2. So, next time you have a headache, instead of rushing to the drugstore, you might want to try one of these natural headache remedies:

3. 1. Eat something soon. Preferably, eat something high in protein, a substance necessary for growth, the “hung ry headache”caused by a drop in the blood-sugar supply, can be a real problem for people not eating enough at mealtimes. Why protein? Because it rebuilds your blood-sugar supply little by little. Sugary foods cause the blood sugar to go up rapidly and then drop again just as fast.

4. 2. Wash it away.At the first sign of headache pain, get in the shower, advises Dr. Augustus S. Rose of the UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) school of Medicine. First take a hot shower even if the pain gets worse. This will make the blood vessels open wide. Follow it immediately with a cold shower. Stay in until you shiver. Repeat this process if necessary. This process works well for a migraine headache. In a migraine headache, the blood vessels of the head first contract (get smaller), then dilate (open up) and press against the nerves. This pressure causes pain. Cold water makes the blood vessels contract, which eases this pressure on the nerves.

5. 3. Freeze it out. If you are miles away from the shower, Dr. Rose suggests putting crushed ice in your mouth. Again, this is useful for a migraine headache. However, this remedy is

inappropriate for elderly or sick people.

6. 4. Think it away. Sit down or lie down and close your eyes. Imagine that it is summer and you are on the beach. An ocean breeze cools your face and your hands and arms grow warmer and warmer in the hot sun. Your hands are really soaking up the sun. They become hot to the touch. Minutes pass, and when you open your eyes, you are left with very warm hands…and no headache. Thinking warmth into your hands sends blood toward them and away from the head.

7. 5. Massage it out. Get to your head through your feet. Massaging the lower part of your big toe and the area under all your toes will lessen tension in the neck. This tension can often cause a headache.

8. 6. Press it away. Some headaches can be cured by a sensitive finger-pressure massage. The massage should be given on sensitive “bigger” points. The re are three pairs of points: one at each temple, one under each shoulder blade, and a pair at the back of the neck. Press each point for 15 to 30 seconds at a time. Remember to press both points in a pair at the same time, not just one side. Doing this will help the body’s nature painkillers start working. If you are alone, press the thumb of one hand against the tender spot in the “V” formed by the thumb and forefinger of the other hand.

9. Always see a doctor for continuous or recurring head pain.

1. From the passage, we could get to know . (B)

A. Nonprescription pain relievers have no side effects.

B. American people spend much money on painkillers.

C. Natural headache remedies are more effective than headache medicines.

D. One can’t buy pain relievers in the drugstores in the USA.

2. Eating a steak can help get rid of a headache because .(D)

A. Steak is high in sugar.

B. Steak is high in nutrition.

C. Steak is high in starch.

D. Steak is high in protein.

3. Which one of the following statements is NOT true to the remedy “wash it away”? (A)

A. Only hot water should be used when this remedy is applied.

B. This remedy works well for a migraine headache.

C. This remedy is applicable at the first sight of headache pain.

D. Sometimes the process of taking showers should be repeated.

4. What is the right way to press headache away?(C)

A. Have someone apply pressure to the side of your head that hurts the most.

B. Have someone apply pressure to the side of your head that hurts less.

C. Have someone apply pressure to sensitive spots on both sides of your head.

D. Have someone apply pressure to sensitive spots in your feet.

5. The main idea of the passage is .(B)

A. More and more American people take medicines to release pains.

B. There are many natural headache remedies worth trying to release pains.

C. Pain relievers are usually more effective than natural headache remedies.

D. Massaging toes can lessen tension in the neck.

4. Winning the lottery…is it a dream come true?

1. Most people have found themselves daydreaming about winning a million dollars—as a solution to their money problems or as a path to happiness and a life of luxury. As more and more states set up lottery games, more and more people rush to buy a ticket and a dream. The states view lotteries as a way to make money, since only about half of what they take in is given back as prize money. The prize is usually broken down into as many as twenty smaller, yearly payments instead of one huge payment.

2. Because there are so many types of lottery games, and they all have winners, it can seem like a very easy thing to win—especially in those rare cases where someone has won more than one game. But in reality, the odds of winning the lottery are very small. In fact, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than to become an instant millionaire.

3. But what about those lucky few who do win? Have they achieved the American dream—are they on easy street? It’s fun to picture these winners quitting their jobs, going on a wild shopping spree, and spending a lifetime traveling around the world. But according to a survey, most people who win keep their jobs, stay in their neighborhoods and keep the same friends, and they’re careful about how th ey spend their money.

4. When Christene Cooper won $19 million in the California lottery, she was a 20-year-old student working two jobs. According to Christene, “Winning was pretty unbelievable; it changes so much in your life.” Because they were able to afford to live on their own, she and her high school sweetheart got married. They went to Disney World on their honeymoon, and they bought a BMW convertible, a truck, and a yacht. She bought houses for relatives and set up a trust fund for her sister.

5. But for Gloria Mitchem, winning the Florida lottery prize of $37.4 million was more of a problem than a blessing. She was living in a small town and working in a nursing home when she found out she was a winner. By the next day, crowds of people and reporters were outside her home. She needed a police escort to take her to claim the prize. Then, after a press conference when relatives mentioned that they’d like to buy a fancy car, automobile salesmen started hounding her along with the press. Finally she quit her job, took her child out of day care, and left town. She refuses to speak to reporters, and only her family and a few close friends know where she now lives.

6. Even the lottery agencies recognize that winning can open the door to worry as well as happiness. They advise winners to at least get new phone numbers if they can’t move. They also recommend getting a good lawyer and financial adviser. To win the lottery you only need luck, but to manage the changes in your life that come with the jackpot, you need lots of planning and good advice.

1.More and more states set up lottery games to . (D)

A. create job opportunities

B. advocate American dream

C. help the poor

D. make money

2.About lottery games, which of the following statements is TRUE? (A)

A.It is more likely to be struck by lightening than to win a lottery.

B.Lottery winners usually get one huge payment once for all.

C.It is quite easy to win a lottery game if you calculate carefully.

D.Winning lottery games always brings happiness to the winners.

3.What is in common for the two lottery winners mentioned in the article? (B)

A. Both were troubled by automobile sellers.

B. Both bought or intended to buy an automobile.

C. Both continue their work and live a happy life.

D. Both moved to a bigger house.

4.In Paragraph 3, the underlined phrase "on easy street" means . (C)

A.walking on an easy street

B.walking on a busy street

C.living without worries about money

D.living without principles

5.Lottery winners usually can get from lottery agencies advice except for . (A)

A.getting a new job

B.getting a new phone number

C.getting a good lawyer

D.getting a financial adviser

Task B Bickering Employees are bad news in the office

1. If you’ve ever spent time with a bickering couple, you can sympathize with mana gers who supervise two bickering employees. “It’s destructive if two people are arguing,” said Marilyn Moats Kennedy, managing partner of Career Strategies in Wilmette, Illinois. It hurts productivity, keeps the manager from other things and often other employees spend time listening to it, so you’re losing their time, too, Kennedy said.

2. As long as the problem employees have jobs that aren’t related, separating them is the simplest solution, said Allan Cohen, management professor at Babson College and senior vice president of the consulting firm Goodmeasure Inc. in Boston.

3. But putting up fences won’t work if job duties overlap. In that case, the manager must make them cooperate. “If two secretaries won’t cooperate and answer each other’s phones, I’ll bang their heads together,” Kennedy said.

4. Surprisingly, experts say the cause of the problem often lies within company’s structure.“What looks like personality conflicts could be natural, based on organizational structure,” Cohen said.

5. In a rivalry between sales and production managers, the salesperson might want many varieties of a product manufactured to satisfy customers; the production manager might want to manufacture one product to keep costs down. If two salespeople are fighting over customers, the organizational structure may encourage nasty competition, Cohen said.

6. The solution: The manager should make sure the company’s reward system and division of

jobs aren’t creating the behavior problem.“That’s the case more often than personality,” Cohen said.

7. Of course, sometimes there is a true personality conflict that the manager can’t ignore. In

that case, “Bring both parties together and leave the room,” said workplace psychologist Marilyn Machlowitz. “Don’t attempt to mediate or you will be the common enemy.”

8. Warn both parties that if they don’t begin to cooperate professionally, a lot is at stake,

ranging from a transfer to unemployment. “Often one or both has to go,” Machlowitz said, “Because the work is not getting done….”

1.What is the simplest solution to the argument between the problem employees whose jobs

aren’t related?

2.won’t work if job duties overlap. In that case,the manager must make them

cooperate.

3.Argument is more often caused by reward system and division of jobs than .

4.What should a manager do if it is a personality conflict?

5.Failure to cooperate between the two parties will lead to .

Keys: 1. Separating them (is the simplest solution)

2. Putting up fences

3. personality

4. Don’t mediate and just leave the room.

5. a transfer or unemployment

1.Not only has finger-feeding withstood the passage of time, but some scholars believe that it may

be enjoying a comeback.

用手吃饭不仅经受了时间的考验,有些学者还认为,说不定用手吃饭还会卷土重来。

2.If one needs a lift over some obstacles that seems impossible to get beyond, the other won’

t leave until the obstacle is conquered.

如果一个人遇到了似乎是不可逾越的障碍,另外一位不克服障碍决不抛弃朋友不管。

3.There are over 100 brands of pain relievers, and most come in various forms and various strengths.

总共大约有100多个品牌的镇痛药,而且每一样都有多个品种和不同强度。

4.坦率地说,这是我第一次违心地做事。(against)

Frankly this is the first time I act against my own will.

5.他不厌其烦地汇报了这次商务谈判的所有细节。(go to the trouble of doing something)

He went to the trouble of reporting each detail of that business negotiation.

6.Most people have found themselves daydreaming about winning a million dollars.

许多人都发现自己做过中一百万元彩票的美梦。

7.When we’re in love, it takes less stimulation for us to get pleasure.

当人身处于爱情之中时,只需要很少一点的刺激就足以让人快乐。

8.The brain has to experience a change, or there will be no excitement.

大脑必须经历变化,否则就不会有任何兴奋激动的时刻。

9.他在暑假里打零工挣点钱。(take odd jobs)

He took odd jobs to earn a bit of money.

●Twenty Minutes’ Reading on P18-21 ●Translate the following passage into Chinese Trading error dims Everbright's prospects The record 523 million yuan ($85 million) fine may seem big, but Everbright Securities Co's troubles are far from over. The company is facing claims estimated at 2.7 billion yuan by investors alleged to have been misled by the company's deliberate withholding of information about its 7.2 billion yuan trading mistake. But lawyers said potential claimants may need more information from the China Securities Regulatory Commission investigation to pin Everbright down. According to the Securities Law of China, the principal should shoulder responsibility if insider trading incurs any losses. But Liu Mingjun, director of the capital market department of Beijing Celue Law Firm, told Xinhua News Agency that there is a lack of detailed interpretation and regulations in the Securities Law. In the United States, investors who can prove they suffered a loss as a result of insider trading would bring a civil claim against the broker responsible for it, said Gene Buttrill, capital markets practice partner at the global law firm Jones Day. So far, the commission has only handed down the penalty with a note saying that investors who felt cheated can seek redress through litigation. It has not disclosed details of its investigation that showed how Everbright stonewalled the stock exchange on Aug 16, allowing itself time to engage in insider trading to cover its potential losses. Following Everbright's former president Xu Haoming's resignation on Aug 22, Yang Chizhong, assistant executive, and Mei Jian, secretary of the board of directors, resigned on Saturday. Xu and Yang, together with Shen Shiguang, general manager of the accounting department, and Yang Jianbo, general manager of the strategic department, were fined by the commission and banned from any work involving the stock exchange. Buttrill of Jones Day said insider trading cases in the US carry both criminal and civil penalties. "For serious cases, jail sentences are often appropriate," he added. The share price of Everbright Securities plummeted 8.54 percent to close at 9.21 yuan on Monday, while the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index

英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析

英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析 一、英语阅读(日常生活类) 1.阅读理解 When it comes to helping developing countries, we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However, it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas. A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle in order that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed. This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year. The idea is that these computers will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children's education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term. Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK. And probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very bed for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to" kill two birds with one "and that is always a good thing. (1)The underlined phrase "wind up" in paragraph 2 means . A. 吹风 B. 给……上发条 C. 摇上 D. 利用空气……使……(2)The laptop computer that Mr. Negroponte has designed . A. will be damaged much easier than the normal one B. has a special handle to access the Internet C. is cheap and can run with extra power D. can be helpful to find the people's own solutions (3)According to the passage,what benefit can we get from recycling old mobile phones? A. We can reduce the waste to protect the environment. B. We can help children in developing countries reuse the old mobile phones. C. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users. D. It not only reduces the waste produced by developed countries but also helps the children in developing countries. (4)Mr. Negroponte's cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to . A. illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countries

(英语)英语试卷分类汇编英语阅读理解(及答案)含解析

(英语)英语试卷分类汇编英语阅读理解(及答案)含解析 一、阅读理解 1.阅读理解 What do you see when you look at abstract (抽象的)art? Can you understand it? Does it look like anything? Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly like they looked. They didn't want their art to be realistic(现实的). They were more interested in basic shapes and colours. Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours (his "blue period"). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his "rose period"). Many of his other paintings are called "cubist (立体派的)" because they are made of painted squares. After a long time, Picasso's paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so strange that many of his workmates didn't understand it. Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings. Other artists like the surrealists (超现实主义画家),were interested in subconsciousness (潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams. There are still many abstract artists around the world. That's the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it. (1)Which would be most like abstract art? A. A painting of a house. B. A sculpture of a car. C. A drawing of two people in a coffee house. D. A red and blue painting, with no clear subject. (2)What happened to Picasso's work after a long time? A. It became more abstract. B. It became less strange. C. He went from using red colours to using blue colours. D. He only painted with coloured squares. (3)How did Kandinsky express feelings? A. By using strong colours. B. By painting realistic people. C. By painting with a lot of symbols. D. By painting in red and pink colours. (4)Which of the following is NOT true? A. Picasso painted in many different styles. B. Dali was interested in dreams. C. Abstract artists feel each work of art only has one meaning. D. Magritte's art was full of symbols.
