科学家寻找矿物的专属区域

Flying over a desert area in an airplane, two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes. After an hour's 11 one of the scientists wrote in his book, "Look here for 12 metal. " Scientists in another airplane, flying over a mountain region, sent a 13 to other scientists on the ground, "Gold possible. " Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported, "This ground should be searched for metals. " From an airplane over a hilly wasteland a scientist sent back by radio one word, "Uranium. "

None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no 14 powers for looking down below the earth's surface. They were 15 putting to use one of the newest methods of 16 minerals in the ground—using trees and plants as 17 that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants are growing.

This newest method of searching for minerals is 18 on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may 19 the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface.

At Watson Bar Creek, a brook six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were g and put into boxes. Each bag and box was 20 marked. In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.

人类大脑智力的决定因素

There are two factors which determine an indivial's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably , some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an indivial will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the indivial— the sort of environment in which he is brought up. If an indivial is handicapped(不利) environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.

The importance of environment in determining an indivial's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster(抚养) homes. Peter was raised by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor ecational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's I. Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.

我的朋友索菲亚布伦特

Sophy Brent came to visit me nearly every day. She made me feel uneasy most of the time. She smoked 11 and never used an ashtray. She followed me into the kitchen while I made tea or coffee or supper and 12 herself to the children's orange juice. She made a great hit with my two-year-old daughter Flora, who would 13 about her for hours and refer to her lovingly as "sofa", and she was always talking about my husband and asking me where he was.

I could not decide why she chose my 14 , although I realized that nobody else paid her very much attention. Her situation was very difficult in that she was 15 out of drama school and only nineteen, but being 16 to play a leading part in a company of fairly 17 and experienced actors. They would not have liked her much even if she had been good, and as, from all accounts, she was not good so they took every 18 to run her down. I think she thought that I was the only person around who was both unconnected with the theatre and tolerably 19 . To associate with me was not, at any rate, to step down the scale. And for my part, although I felt troubled by her I did not dislike her. There was something genuinely outstanding in her personality, and she had such physical 20 that with me she could get away with anything. She was nice to have around, like flowers or a bowl of fruit.

Section III Reading Comprehension(45 points) 阅读理解

Text 1

No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demeaning to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an indivial but only lives to function as a part of the whole. The indivial in a uniform loses all self-worth. There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a large, more important concept. What could be more important than the indivial oneself? If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence.

Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in school, eliminates all envy and competition in a matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing, why would anyone strive to be better? It is only a short step from forcing everyone to wear the same clothing to forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of house, eat the same type of food. When this happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had? Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion instry yearly.

Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating, and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Salespersons would be superfluous as well: why bother to sell the only items that are available? The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion instry which in turn would have a ripple effect on such instries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. Our entire information and entertainment instries would founder.

41、The author’s viewpoint on uniforms can best be described as __________.

A. practical

B. hysterical

C. radical

D. critical

42、Judged from its style, this passage might be found in __________.

A. a children’s comics book

B. an editorial in a paper

C. a sociology textbook

D. a political platform

43、It can be inferred that the author believes that __________.

A. indivials have no self-worth when they become part of an organization

B. indivials are more important than organizations

C. indivials are not so important as organizations

D. indivials are the same important as organizations

44、The author brings in the example of a parent striving to make life better for his children to make the point that __________.

A. parents have responsibilities for their children

B. uniforms would be less expensive than clothing for children

C. uniforms cause dissension between parents and children

D. indivial motivation would be destroyed by uniforms

(本题分值：1.5分)【正确答案】D

45、The last word of the passage "founder" probably means __________.

A. collapse

B. shrink

C. disappear

D. establish

A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous and helpful most Americans were to them. To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American. There are, of course, exceptions. Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US. Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment. For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise ll existence.

Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion, and brought news of the outside world. The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality.

Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement. It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers. It reflected the harshness of daily life: if you didn’t take in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one else who would. And someday, remember, you might be in the same situation. Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler. Yet, the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US, especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails. "I was just traveling through, got talking with this American, and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner—amazing." Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon, but are not always understood properly.

The casual friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neither as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition. As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals, assumptions, and conventions underlies all social interrelationships. And, of course, speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns. Visitors who fail to "translate" cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. For example, when an American uses the word "friend", the cultural implications of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor’s language and culture. It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to distinguish between courteous convention and indivial interest. Yet, being friendly is a virtue that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.

46、In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, ___________.

A. rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US

B. small-minded officials deserve a serious comment

C. Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors

D. most Americans are ready to offer help

47、It could be inferred from the last paragraph that ___________.

A. culture exercises an influence over social interrelationship

B. courteous convention and indivial interest are interrelated

C. various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friends

D. social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions

48、Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers ___________.

A. to improve their hard life

B. in view of their long-distance travel

C. to add some flavor to their own daily life

D. out of a charitable impulse

49、The tradition of hospitality to strangers ___________.

A. tends to be superficial and artificial

B. is generally well kept up in the united States

C. is always understood properly

D. has something to do with the busy tourist trails

50、What’s the author’s attitudes toward the American’s friendliness?

A. Favorable.

B. Unfavorable.

C. Indifferent.

D. Neutral.

Today, there are many avenues open to those who wish to continue their ecation. However, nearly all require some break in one’s career in order to attend school full time. Part-time ecation, that is, attending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the process out over time and puts the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people. Additionally, such programs require a fixed time commitment which can also impact negatively on one’s career and family time. Of the many approaches to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most flexible and accommodating is that called distance learning.

Distance learning is an ecational method, which allows the students the flexibility to study at his or her own pace to achieve the academic goals, which are so necessary in today’s world. The time required to study many be set aside at the student’s convenience with e regard to all life’s other requirements. Additionally, the student may enroll in distance learning courses from virtually any place in the world, while continuing to pursue their chosen career. Tutorial assistance may be available via regular airmail, telephone, facsimile machine, teleconferencing and over the Internet. Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject evaluation tool with every subject. This precludes the requirement for a student to travel away from home to take a test.

Another characteristic of a good distance-learning program is the equivalence of the distance-learning course with the same subject materials as those students taking the course on the home campus. The resultant diploma or degree should also be the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is employed. The indiviality of the professor/student relationship is another characteristic of a good distance-learning program. In the final analysis, a good distance learning program has a place not only for the indivial students but also the corporation or business that wants to work in partnership with their employees for the ecational benefit, professional development, and business growth of the organization. Sponsoring distance learning programs for their employees gives the business the advantage of retaining career-minded people while contributing to their personal and professional growth through ecation.

51、According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a disadvantage of part-time ecation?

A. It requires some break in one’s career.

B. It tends to last too long for many people to complete a degree program.

C. It affects one’s career.

D. It gives the student less time to share with the family.

52、Which of the following is NOT an advantage of distance learning?

A. The students may choose his or her own pace.

B. The students may study at any time to his or her convenience.

C. They can pursue their chosen career while studying.

D. Their tutorial assistance comes through regular airmail, telephone, facsimile machine, etc.

53、What benefit will distance-learning program bring to a business?

A. Recruitment of more talented people.

B. Good image of the business.

C. Better cooperation with universities.

D. Further training of employees and business growth.

54、What benefit will distance learning bring to an employee of a business?

A. Professional growth.

B. Good relationship with the employer.

C. Good impression on the employer.

D. Higher salary.

55、Which is not the characteristic of distance learning?

A. It includes a subject evaluation tool with every subject.

B. Its course uses the same subject materials as those students taking the course on the home campus.

C. A distance-learning program has a place only for students.

D. The relationship of the professor/student is characterized by indiviality.

Text 4

I remember the way the light touched her hair. She turned her head, and our eyes met, a momentary awareness in that raucous fifth grade classroom. I felt as though I’d been struck a blow under the heart. Thus began my first love affair. Her name was Rachel, and I mooned my way through the grade and high school, stricken at the mere sight of her, tongue-tied in her presence. Does anyone, anymore, linger in the shadows of evening, drawn by the pale light of a window—her window—like some hapless summer insect? That delirious swooning, asexual but urgent and obsessive, that made me awkward and my voice crack, is like some impossible dream now. I would catch sight of her, walking down an aisle of trees to or from school, and I’d become paralyzed.

She always seemed so poised, so self-possessed. At home, I’d relive each encounter, writhing at the thought of my inadequacies. We eventually got acquainted and socialized as we entered our adolescence, she knew I had a case on her, and I sensed her affectionate tolerance for me. "Going steady" implied a maturity we still lacked. Her Orthodox Jewish upbringing and my own Catholic scruples imposed an inhibited grace that made even kissing a distant prospect, however fervently desired. I managed to hold her once at a dance—chaperoned, of course. Our embrace made her giggle, a sound so trusting that I hated myself for what I’d been thinking. At any rate, my love for Rachel remained unrequited. We graated from high school, she went on to college, and I joined the Army.

When World War II engulfed us, I was sent overseas. For a time we corresponded, and her letters were the highlight of those grinding endless years. Once she sent me a snapshot of herself in a bathing suit, which drove me to the wildest of fantasies. I mentioned the possibility of marriage in my nest letter, and almost immediately her replies became less frequent, less personal. Her Dear John letter finally caught up with me while I was awaiting discharge. She gently explained the impossibility of a marriage between us. Looking back on it, I must have recovered rather quickly, although for the first few months I believed I didn’t want to live. Like Rachel, I found someone else, whom I learned to love with a deep and permanent commitment that has lasted to this day.

56、According to the passage, how old was the author when his first love affair began?

A. Before he entered his teens.

B. In his early teens.

C. In his middle teens.

D. When he was just out of his teens.

57、How did the author behave as a boy in love?

A. His first love motivated him toward hard study.

B. His first love evoked sentimental memories.

C. He was overpowered by wild excitement and passion.

D. He fulfilled his expectations and desires.

58、According to the passage, what held them back from a loving kiss?

A. Her Jewish origin did not allow it.

B. His Catholic adherence forbade it.

C. They were not sure whether it was proper or ethical to kiss in line with their religious decorum.

D. Kissing was found to be inelegant or even distasteful.

59、According to the passage, what was Rachel’s response to the author’s tender affection before the war?

A. She recognized and accepted his love affectionately.

B. She thwarted his affection by flatly turning him down.

C. She fondly permitted him to adore her without losing her own heart to him.

D. She didn’t care for him at all and only took delight in playing with his feelings.

60、Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?

A. Statement and example.

B. Cause and effect.

C. Order of importance.

D. Linear description.

Like many lovers of books, Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.

When Mary was hospitalized with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard, who worked for a business company, was eager to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her demanding job.

They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the instry. “We knew it had to be a specialty store because we couldn’t match the big chains dollar for dollar, ”says Mary. One figure caught her attention：She’d read somewhere that roughly 20 percent of books sold were mysteries(推理小说), and many buyers spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.

On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three children in college, the couple could not spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover the $100, 000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from a bank.

The store merely broke even in its first year, with only $120, 000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories.

Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420, 000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks. Richard and Mary together earn about $34, 000.

“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income, ”says Richard. “This has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money. ”

1. When Mary was in hospital, the couple realized that______.

A. they had to put their plan into practice B. health was more important than wealth

C. heart trouble was a serious illness D. they both needed to stop working

2. After Mary got well from her illness they began______.

A. to study instrial management B. to buy and read more mystery books

C. to do market research on book business D. to work harder to save money for the bookstore

3. How did their bookstore do in the first year?

A. They had to borrow money to keep it going. B. They made just enough to cover all the costs.

C. They succeeded in earning a lot of money. D. They failed though they worked hard.

4. According to Richard, the main purpose of running the bookstore is______.

A. to pay for their children’s ecation B. to get to know more writers

C. to set up more bookstores D. to do what they like to do

答案 1. A 2. C 3. B 4. D

⑥ 英语四级阅读技巧和方法

导语：英语四级考试目的是推动大学英语教学大纲的贯彻执行，对大学生的英语能力进行客观、准确的测量，为提高我国大学英语课程的教学质量服务。以下是关于英语四级阅读技巧和方法，欢迎大家的推荐参考!

四级阅读技巧和方法

第一步，快速略读全文，浏览大标题，同时分析小标题

浏览大标题的目的是为了对文章内容有大致的了解。而分析小标题则是为了把握文章的总体结构，了解文章内容的基本构成。如果阅读理解的篇幅较短，考试中可以直接用题目中的关键词汇定位，但是面对长篇累牍的快速阅读，考生首先应当留意文章当中是否有小标题。如果有，一定要先读小标题，因为小标题的作用如同目录，可以帮助考生宏观地把握文章框架，迅速寻找到有效信息的范围。

有时文章没有小标题，这时须按下列顺序浏览全文：第一段的第一句、第二句和最后一句——以下每一段的第一句——最后一段的第一句和最后一句。这种方法，意味着已经开始阅读，所以花的时间要长一些，但应该控制在两分钟之内。

第二步，仔细读题，划出标志词或关键词

标志词指的是专有名词(人名、地名、组织名、国名等)和数字等有标志性的单词，根据这些单词，我们可以对试题涉及的内容在文章中的位置进行快速定位。

如果试题中没有标志词，那么就根据试题中的名词、名词词组、动词、动词词组、形容词和形容词词组确定试题提问的内容，然后再确定试题在文章中的位置。

第三步，答题

在答题时，首先要根据标志词或关键词确定试题所在的部分，即在哪一个小标题下。如果文章没有小标题，也可以对试题在文章中的位置进行模糊定位。因为真题的出题顺序与原文的相关位置是一致的。也就是说，第四题答案的位置绝不会在第三题前面(但模拟题远非如此，所以模拟题较难)。因此我们答题时，不要一道题一道题地答，而要两道两道地做，前后呼应，能更好地定位。

1.主旨题的解题技巧

根据英文文章的写作特点，解答快速阅读的主旨题时要注意以下几点：

(1)快速阅读文章第一、二段，抓住文章大意、背景和作者风格，因为作者一般会在文章开头几段概述全文;

(2)快速浏览找出每段的中心句和几件事实，抓住一两个关键词，如果文中段落大意没有用一句话总结，就自己归纳出大意，在可能蕴含全文主旨的部分进行仔细阅读;

(3)注意转折词和序列词，有助于我们了解文章的脉络。

用于快速阅读的文章，在通常情况下每个小部分会有一个小标题，这样对考生迅速阅读文章并掌握文章的主旨大意非常有帮助，考生要善于利用这一点。另外，因为文章和段落结构通常遵守某种体裁的结构模式，因此在快速阅读时，并不需要每句话都仔仔细细地阅读。

2.细节题的解题技巧

快速阅读文章后面的10道试题中大部分都是细节题，因此对细节题的解题技巧要熟练掌握。

(1)首先，确定自己要找的信息。在阅读文章之前，目光快速扫描一遍后面的题目;

(2)其次，了解文章的信息分布。可查读各章节小标题进行定位，确定可能含有所需信息的部分;

(3)最后，找出所需的具体信息。在已经定位的区域，快速阅读直至锁定答案。

四级阅读技巧和方法

一： 详略得当

对于大学英语四级快速阅读测试来说，根据题目的“题眼”快速在文章中找到答案是最关键的，这样我们就要在阅读时注意详略得当。克服精读精益求精的习惯，做到有信息处精读，无信息处略读，略读处一扫而过。对所要解释或证明的观点的细节举例处或者通常有数个名词的并列项，它们不是完整的主谓宾的句子，因此无法与问题对应的详细列举处，都可以略读。那么题目中数字、人名等信息(题眼)在原文中对应的部分必须详读。

二：显性信息

查读的信息通常是显性信息，只要将问题在原文中进行准确定位就能得到正确答案，一般不需要做推理。

三：题文同序

大学英语四级考试的快速阅读部分，问题顺序与原文顺序一致(有时判断题和填空题交汇处顺序不一致)，这就要求考生应该按照题目的顺序依次做题。对于所有的`四级快速阅读文章这个技巧都适用，在此就不做特别举例

四：分解对应

分解对应四分法(快速阅读的解题核心)：快速将问题分解成4个部分(主A 谓B宾C+其他D)，与原文进行对比。

五：一段一题、长段两题、平均分配

大学英语四级考试的快速阅读的出题方式一般都为一段出一题、长段出两题，遵循平均分配题目所在位置的原则，在此也不做特别举例。

六：选小不选大

四级快速阅读中，问题的范围必须小于原文范围，反之则判定为错N。

确定为N的情况：

(1) 题目中的信息与原文内容相反

(2) 题目将原文的意思张冠李戴

(3) 将原文中的不确定因素转化为确定因素

(4) 改变原文中的条件、范围等

七：两段判定(判断NG最好方法)

在四级快速阅读中，如果上一题已经确定了在原文中的位置，读过两段后仍无下一题所需信息，则可以判定该题为NG，而不用通读全文。

八： 主宾判定

四级快速阅读中，将题干的句子进行简单分解后，问题中的主语、宾语在原文未出现或被偷换概念是，判定为NG

确定为NG的情况：

(1) 题目中的表述无中生有

(2) 原文中作者的目的、意图、愿望等内容在题目中作为客观事实陈述

(3) 将原文中的特殊情况推广为普遍现象

(4) 将原文的内容具体化

(5) 随意比较原文中的两个事物

九：相关信息准确合并

快速阅读文章中有时可能会问到所面临的问题是什么?某事情的原因是什么?等等，这样的问题在文中可能是在不同的位置都有表述，所以考生遇到这样的问题时，不能只局限在某一段里面找答案，可以先做后面的题目，在后面的阅读中发现还有该题的答案时，将相关信息合并后再确定答案。

munications technologies are far from equal when it es to conveying the truth. The first study to pare honesty across a range of munication media has fund that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails. The fact that emails are automatically recorded—and can e back to haunt ***困扰*** you—appears to be the key to the finding.

Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, asked 30 students to keep a munications diary for a week. In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails, 21 per cent of instant messages, 27 per cent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 per cent of phone calls.

His results to be presented at the conference on human-puter interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surprised psychologists. Some expected emailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception makes people unfortable, the detachment ***非直接接触*** of emailing would make it easier to lie. Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practised at that form of munication.

But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and whether it occurs in real time. People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the munication could later be used to hold them to account, he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone.

People are also more likely to lie in real time—in a instant message or phone call, say—than if they have time to think of a response, says Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous ***脱口而出的*** responses to an unexpected demand, such as: “Do you like my dress?”

Hancock hopes his research will help panies work our the best ways for their employees to municate. For instance, the phone might be the best medium foe sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth. But, given his result, work asses *** ent where honesty is a priority, might be best done using email.

As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, *** oking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious ***有营养的*** foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.

The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well.” In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s

condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap ***缺陷*** may be “well,” in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.

62. Today medical care is placing more stress on ________.

A*** keeping people in a healthy physical condition

B*** monitoring patients’ body functions

C*** removing people’s bad living habits

D*** ensuring people’s psychological well-being

63. In the first paragraph, people are reminded that ________.

A*** good health is more than not being ill

B*** drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmful

C*** regular health checks are essential to keeping fit

D*** prevention is more difficult than cure

64. Traditionally, a person is considered “well” if he ________.

A*** does not have any unhealthy living habits

B*** does not have any physical handicaps

C*** is able to handle his daily routines

D*** is free from any kind of disease

65. According to the author, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people ________.

A*** to best satisfy their body’s special needs

B*** to strive to maintain the best possible health

C*** to meet the strictest standards of bodily health

D*** to keep a proper balance between work and leisure

66. According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would be considered healthy?

A*** People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.

B*** People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.

C*** People who try to be as possible, regardless of their limitations.

D*** People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.
