    15．Since quitting can start feelings such as guilt and shame，we often do everything possible to avoid it．"We're taught from our earlist days that if you quit something．It means you're a failure，"says counseling psychologist Will Meek．He，however，suggests we view quitting differently．
    Quitting is like deciding to rearrange a room：you've grown comfortable with the status，and it can be hard to picture the end result or even see why change is necessary．And yet，there's the upsetting feeling that you're no longer entirely satisfied with your current circumstances，perhaps even that you've stopped making progress．While it's not out of the question for feeling or regret to surface after a major refit，leaving a position，project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities，making you feel inspired and renewed．
    Quitting，often happens in situations where we're unhappy，fearful or have determined we have no other choice，factors that can have opposing effects on our health．Perhaps you find your work unfulfilling，or you've jumped into a new relationship before you're ready-and，as a result，you're operating under intense pressure．"If stress is enduring and not managed well，it can start to take a toll．"says Meek．According to the American Psychological Association，long-term，ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart attack，so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emotional health benefits．"We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol（应激激素皮质醇），which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate，"says Dr Alex Lickerman，a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability．
    Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to explore where your heart is truly leading you．In a study that was published in 1999，then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles that required new skill sets-someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers，for instance，was asked to take on personal interactions．Subjects were especially drawn to acting out a version of their future solves through‘imitation strategies'-an approach they compared to‘trying on different clothes，'Mark Franklin，the president of CareerCyles，suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self．"Pretend to be a certain kind of person，or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do．"he says，"Try it on，see how it feels and decide if it's a good fit for you．"It may not feel like it at the time，but just moving on from a situation that's not quite right can help you get back on track．

    63．It can be inferred from paragraph 2that quitting may bring us feelings of being bothC．
    A．guilty and ashamed   
    B．stupid and enthusiastic
    C．troubled and hopeful 
    D．inspired and determined
    64．The phrase"take a toll"（paragraph 3）can be best replaced by"D"．
    A．develop mental adaptability  
    B．bring about changes
    C．keep up the pressure        
    D．have a bad effect
    65．An approach suggested by Mark Franklin similar to‘trying on different clothes'is forA．
    A．helping people find what truly suits them in career
    B．telling capable employees from inadequate ones
    C．training employees to acquire different working skills
    D．providing people with opportunities to have a role play
    66．It can be concluded from the passage thatD．
    A．quitting is track that only the timid will choose to follow
    B．personal interaction can be must for reducing emotional pressure
    C．mental adaptability can be improved by the stress hormone cortisol

    63．C．细节理解题．根据While it's not out of the question for feeling or regret to surface after a major refit，leaving a position，project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities，making you feel inspired and renewed．在一次重大整修之后，感觉或后悔是不可能的，离开一个职位、项目或情况可以揭示令人兴奋的可能性，让你感到鼓舞和更新．可知戒烟是难受的但充满希望的．故选C．

    2．A new study has found that social media could be affecting the sleep of young adults．
    The study is a project of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine．They found that young people who often use social media are more likely to suffer from sleep disorder than those who use social media less．The researchers say doctors should ask young adults about their use of social media when treating sleeping issues．
    "This is one of the first pieces of evidence that social media use really can influence your sleep，"said Jessica C．Levenson．She was the lead author of a report on the study．
    The researchers set out to examine the connection between social media use and sleep among young adults．Levenson noted that these young adults are possibly the first"generation to grow up with social media．"
    The researchers wanted to find out how often young people used social media sites like Facebook，Twitter，and Tumblr．For the study，they gave questionnaires to nearly 1，800adults，aged 19to 32．On average，members of the study group used social media sites one hour a day．They also"visited various social media 30times per week．"
    Thirty percent of the study's participants reported having serious problems with sleeping．Those people who used social media a lot were three times more likely to have a sleep disorder．And those who spent the most time on social media were twice as likely to suffer from sleep disturbances．
    Levenson said the number of times a person visits media is a better predictor of sleep problems than overall time spent on social media．If this is true，she adds，then practices that stop such behaviors may be most effective．

    32．What's the main idea of the text？C
    A．The search focuses on social media．
    B．The researchers manage to handle sleep problem．
    C．Social media affects sleep．
    D．Doctors treat young patients．
    33．When treating sleep problems，doctors are advised toB．
    A．offer some advice about giving up social media．
    B．ask the young patients about their use of social media．
    C．give young adults some medicine．
    D．ask about the patients'living conditions．
    34．How did the researchers mainly carry out the study？B
    A．By doing online research．
    B．By asking participants to fill in questionnaires．
    C．By collecting published data．
    D．By giving an example．
    35．What can be inferred from the text？D
    A．men are more likely to suffer from a sleep disorder than women．
    B．People often using social media are less likely to have a sleep disorder．
    C．Using computers less helps avoid sleep problems completely．
    D．Sleep problems can be determined by the times of a person visiting social media．

    10．At Blossom End Railroad Station，22-year-old Stanley Vine sat，waiting for his new employer．The surrounding green fields were so unlike the muddy landscape of war-torn France．After four horrible years as a solider in Europe，Stanley returned to England in February 1946．Armed now with some savings and with no possibility of finding a job in England，he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada．Two months later he was on his way．
    Stanley rose to his feet，trying to make the most of his five foot and four inches frame．The farmer，Alphonse Lapine，shook his head，"You're a skinny thing．"On the way to his dairy farm，Alphonse explained that he had a wife and seven kids．"Money is tight．You'll get up at dawn for milking，and then help me around the farm until evening milking time again．Ten dollars a week．Sundays off．"Stanley nodded．He had never been on a farm before，but he took the job．
    From the beginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family．They made fun of the way he dressed and talked．He could do nothing right．The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper，criticizing Stanley for the slightest mistake．The oldest son，13-year-old Armand，constantly played tricks on him．But Stanley never responded．
    Stanley never became part of the Lapine family．After work，they ignored him．He spent his nights alone in a tiny bedroom．However，each evening before going to bed，he lovingly cared for the farmer's horses．On Saturday nights he hiked into the nearest town and wandered the streets or enjoyed a restaurant meal before returning to the farm．
    Early one November morning Alphonse Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared，after working for only six months．The railway station master，when questioned later that week，said he had not seen him．In fact no one in the community ever heard of him again．That is，until one evening，almost 20 years later，when Armand opened an American sports magazine and came across a shocking headline，"Millionaire jockey，Stanley Vine，ex-British soldier and 5-time horse riding champion，began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada．"

    56．Stanley decided to go to Canada becauseC．
    A．he wanted to escape from war-torn France
    B．he wanted to serve in the Canadian army
    C．he couldn't find a job in England

    57．We can know from the passage thatD．
    A．Stanley joined the French army when he was 18 years old
    B．on the farm Stanley had to milk the cows 14 times a week
    C．the Lapine family were rich but cruel to Stanley
    D．Stanley read about the job offer in a newspaper
    58．What did Stanley like doing after work each day？B
    A．Hiking to different towns．
    B．Caring for the farmer's horses．
    C．Wandering around the farm alone．
    D．Preparing meals on the farm．
    59．Why was Armand so astonished when he read about Stanley in the magazine？D
    A．He didn't know Stanley had been a British soldier．
    B．He had no idea Stanley had always been a wealthy man．
    C．He didn't know his father paid Stanley so little money．
    D．He didn't expect Stanley to become such a success．

    4．The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet，chat and go where we‘ve never been before．But just as in face to face communication，there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line．（36）A Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes．
    For anything you're about to send：ask yourself，"Would I say this to the person's face？"if the answer is no，rewrite and reread．（37）C
    If someone in the chat room is rude to you，your instinct（本能）is to fire back in the same manner．But try not to do so．（38）F If it was caused by a disagreement with another member，try to fix the situation by politely discussing it．Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room．
    （39）BOffer advice when asked by newcomers，as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate．When someone makes a mistake，whether it's a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer，be kind about it．If it is a small mistake，you may not need to say anything．Even if you feel strongly about it，think twice before saying anything．Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else．（40）G At the same time，if you find you are wrong，be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended．
    It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age，sex and marital status．Unless you know the person very well，and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information，don't  ask such questions．

    A．The basic rule is simple：treat others in the same way you would want to be treated．
    B．Everyone was new to the network once．
    C．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel comfortable saying the words to the person's face．
    D．It's natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online
    E．When you send short messages to a person online，you must say something beautiful to hear．
    F．You should either ignore the person，or use your chat software to block their messages．
    G．If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake，point it out politely．
