Many people often say there is more stress in today's society than in years past. In fact, these people are comparing our lives with that of the cave man, who didn't have to worry about the stock market or the atomic bomb. They forget that the cave man worried about being eaten by a hear while he was asleep, or about dying of hunger--things that few people worry much about today.

Actually stress is a normal state of affairs, and it's important that people understand what they are talking about when they speak about stress. Whenever anyone experiences something unpleasant, for lack of a better word they say they are under stress. Yet there is such a thing as pleasant stress--as in the case of the Olympic winner at the moment of his glory, or a conductor as his orchestra performs particularly well. They are just sending out excitement, and they are giving off all the stress hormones exactly the same as if they were in low spirits or had just heard of a death in the family. We call the pleasant or healthy kind "eustress” and the unpleasant or unhealthy kind "distress".

Then how can people deal with stress? The secret is not to avoid it but to "do your own thing". It implies doing what you like to do and what you are made to do at your own speed. For most people, it is really a matter of learning how to live and how to behave in various situations, to decide: “Do I really want to take my father's business or be a musician?” If you really want to be a musician, then be one.

64. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?

    A. Modern people experiences more stress than the cave man.

    B. The cave man experienced more stress than modern people.

    C. People don't suffer more stress today; it's just that they think they do.

    D. Modern people have the same worries as the cave man did.

    B. You have failed an important examination.

    C. You are informed of an accident of your best friend.

    D. You have won the first prize in an English competition.

66 The purpose of writing the passage is to let us know _________________________.

    A. stress does not necessarily refer to unpleasant experience

    B. distress is what people call the pleasant kind of stress

    C. an Olympic winner feels the same stress as one who loses a family member

    D. people will feel eustress and distress at the same time

67. According to the passage, how can people deal with stress?

    A. Do things that you really want to do.    B. Do whatever you're expected to do.

    C. Try to do things successfully.          D. Refuse to do whatever you're told to.

President Barack Obama has apologized for a gaffe (失言) in which he described his bowling skills as akin to participants in the Special Olympics, a sports program for people with intellectual disabilities.

Obama made the mistake during an interview on Thursday night on “The Tonight Show” with host Jay Leno, the first time a sitting U.S. president had been on the show.

Talking about living in the White House, Obama said he had been practicing his bowling in the home’s bowling alley and had scored a 129 out of a possible 300.

It was an improvement on the embarrassing 37 he had rolled during a stop on the presidential campaign trail a year ago. “It’s like—it was like Special Olympics or something,” Obama said.

The Special Olympics is a global nonprofit organization serving some 200 million people with intellectual disabilities, with a presence in nearly 200 countries worldwide.

Soon after the Jay Leno interview, Obama telephoned Special Olympics chairman Tim Shriver to apologize.

Shriver told ABC’s “Good Morning America” television show that Obama had apologized “in a way that I think was very moving” and that he said “he did not intend to humiliate (羞辱) the population, didn’t want to embarrass or give anybody any more reason for pain or kind of suffering.”

Shriver said people should gain a lesson from the incident.

“I think it’s important to see that words hurt. Words do matter. And these words in some respect, can be seen as humiliating or a put-down to people with special needs, do cause pain. And they do result in stereotypes,” Shriver said.

White House spokesman Bill Burton said Obama “made an offhand remark making fun of his own bowling that was in no way intended to look down upon the Special Olympics.”

“He thinks that the Special Olympics are a wonderful program that gives an opportunity to shine to people with disabilities from around the world,” Burton said.

56. What does the underlined word “akin” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. skillful                 B. similar           C. appealing              D. superior

57. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Obama loves sports and is especially gifted at bowling.

B. Obama apologized for his remarks via ABC’s TV show.

C. The Special Olympics are for various disabled people.

D. The Special Olympics don’t intend to make any money.

58. What does Shriver mean by saying people should gain a lesson from the incident?

A. Disabled people cannot be humiliated.            B. One should be careful with his words.

C. An apology for wrong words is wanted.         D. Words matter even more than actions.

59. The passage is mainly about ________.

A. Obama receiving a TV interview                          B. Obama looking down on the disabled

C. Obama apologizing for his gaffe                  D. Obama being attacked for his words
