Since the time when the Romans first settled on the Danube River and built one of their most important central European forts (堡垒), Vindobona, the city we now know as Vienna, has played a very important role in European history. Austria grew up around the city and developed into a strong empire (帝国). The capital became a famous place during the rule of the Habsburg dynasty.
Today, Vienna is one of the most popular tourist spots in Austria as well as a major center of modern business and culture. Many different cultures have fused their cultural identities to produce the amazing Viennese culture. It is said that the most beautiful German is spoken in this old city.
A city of music, cafes, waltzes, parks, cakes, and wine — that's Vienna. Famous composers such as Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert made Vienna into a city of music. Vienna also has a lot to offer in art and architecture. Yet the bars and clubs make a trip to Vienna an unforgettable experience. Vienna's cooking diversity is also impressive. Dumpling soup, tender boiled beef and apple rolls are typical Austrian dishes.
The face of the city has changed time and again due to war, victory, defeat, the death of an empire and the birth of a republic, foreign occupation (占领), and the passage of time. Fortunately, the Viennese character —a strict devotion to the good life — has remained solid.

Regularly staying late at the office significantly increases the risk of having a stroke or heart attack, researchers have found, working just an hour extra each day pushes up stroke risk by 10 per cent, according to a huge review of working patterns. And people who work an extra three hours a day--or 55 hours a week--are 33 per cent more likely to have a stroke, the scientists found.
The research, published in the Lancet medical journal, is based on health records of more than 500, 000 people across Europe, the US and Australia.
Scientists led by University College London warned that people who work longer hours tend to do less exercise, sit at a computer for hours at a time and drink more than people with a better work-life balance. Repeated stress may also be to blame for greater health problems, the scientists think.
They looked at the combined result of 17 previous studies, in which 529, 000 people were tracked over an average of seven years.
Experts stressed that the study had only found a link between hours worked and heart problems---it had not proved what had actually caused each death. But they warned people to take note of the findings.
Dr Tim Chico, consultant cardiologist at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, said “For many people, reducing their working hours would be difficult or impossible, and this study does not show that it would reduce the risk of stroke." Most of us could reduce the amount of time we spend sitting down, increase our physical activity and improve our diet while working and this might be more important the more time we spend at work.
1.Which areas are involved in the research?
A. The US, Australia and Russia.
B. Japan, Britain and China.
C. China, Russia and Japan.
D. Europe, the US and Australia.
2.Which factor is NOT the cause of the higher risk of health problems?
A. Excessive drinking. B. A healthy diet.
C. Repeated stress. D. Lack of exercise
3.What can we infer from the passage?
A. People who work longer are less likely to suffer a stroke.
B. All the deaths are caused by working long hours.
C. The research was based on the tracking of over 500, 000 people.
D. Reduced working hours will surely decrease the risk of stroke.
4.Where is this passage probably taken from?
A. A news report.
B. A science magazine.
C. A psychological journal.
D. A hospital introduction.

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”---Lao Tzu
If you are in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don’t have to be like everyone else. You can be different. You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic. You can be on your iPhone or Blackberry less, and disconnected sometimes. Your environment doesn’t control your life---you do. I’m not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower. 1.
1. Do less.
Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. 2. Pick 2-3 important things--- or even just one important thing--- and work on those first. Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to focus.
2. 3.
Meeting are usually a “big waste of time”. And they eat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and making you rush.
3. Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary.
When you do the important things with focus, without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that don’t get done. And you need to ask yourself: 4. What would happen if I stopped doing them?
4. Practice mindfulness.
5. , rather than things so much about future or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food. When you are with someone, be with them fully. When you are walking, appreciate your surroundings, no matter where you are.
Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed. Remember the quote: if nature can get everything done without rushing , so can you.
A. Have fewer meetings
B. How necessary are these things?
C. Simply learn to live in the present
D. Focus not on quantity but on quality
E. Give yourself more time to get ready and get there.
F. The world likely won’t end if you don’t pass one of the examinations.
G. But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
1. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view.
The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. 2..
The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. 3. It included such items as automobile sand new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching”level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction－the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body－this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. 4.
On this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. 5.In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
A．Then a third level appeared.
B．Human wants seem endless.
C．When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.
D．There are several levels of wants in one’s life.
E．At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.
F．Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.
G．Different people have different wants on each level.
