The time you spend at the office may be the most stressful(紧张的) part of your day, but it doesn’t have to be. You have a greater ability to shape your office environment than you may realize.

Take breaks throughout the day. It will help clear your mind and relieve pressure. Something as simple as going to the water cooler for a drink may do the trick.

Take part in a noontime or an after-work exercise class. This will give you a chance to relax and a way to relieve stress.

To help your workday go smoothly, try arranging your activities: Do more demanding work in the morning, when your energy level is higher, and easier work later in the day, when you may be tired.

Try listening to music recordings, such as a pounding surf or songbirds, to help you relax. Such tapes are sold in many shops. Use headphones if you are listening to them in the middle of the workday.

Get to work early or stay late once a week. You may be able to complete more when you change your daily work.

If your stress comes from job insecurity, take stock of yourself. Renew your knowledge, and remind yourself of your skills and strengths. Also, make sure you keep up with new developments in your fields. This will make you valuable to employers.

Don’t let rumors(谣言) at work, which are usually false, cause you worry. A co-worker may just be thinking out loud about worst-case imagined events.

If your office is less structured (or if you are the boss), consider a company mascot(吉祥物). A cat or dog can do wonders for workers’morale.

61.Which of the following can work out your stress at work?

The producer appeared behind the recording studio window and smiled and waved to me like an old friend. And after I had read out a little test piece, he said, “That’s fine, wonderful, your voice is perfect, lively, wonderful.” Then I read a longer passage in English about the delights of touring in Britain, and another about the delights of visiting London, and both were “excellent” and “just right”, and I began to consider a job in radio.

To be honest, I was fairly sure of myself though I lacked experience. Across the room in the Hamburg News Agency where we both worked, a friend named Peter Turner called to me, “I say, Mike, a man on the phone here wants someone to do a recording in English, and I’ m booked up. Would you read something to him in English as a sort of test ?” I did, and they said, “Perfect, lovely, wonderful, …” Would I come round?

It was after reading their passage in English in the studio that they noticed my vowel (元音) pronunciations were not altogether King’s English, or even Prince Philip’s, there was a larger silence than usual, then the voice said: “Fine, lovely…, but you said the word ‘castle’ with a short ‘a’. Could we have the passage again please, but this time say ‘castle’.”

This was easy. But then he noticed other differences in my pronunciation.

“It’s my northern English accent,” I said, angry, because I had to apologize for it.

“Oh, I see…but Mike, we’ll have to get it right, I’m afraid. The recording is for teaching English to German schoolchildren, and it must be spoken in the way it is taught in German schools.”

I read the passage again…and again…and again. But of course you cannot change the pronunciation of a lifetime in an hour. The studio men were in the state of having lost hope and underlined the vowels which caused me to feel angry, so that I’d remember them. Few, really. But because I had to concentrate (集中) on them, I made a lot of mistakes in my reading. Everyone got somewhat irritable (easily made angry), so we all went out for a beer.

68.Broadcasting did not make Mike nervous _______________.

A.although he had never done any before B.because he worked in a news agency

C.because he was used to talking on the phone D.although the passages were long

69.What happened after Mike had read the third passage?

A.They made him repeat it. B.They said nothing.

C.They began to discuss the King’s English. D.They could not understand one of the words.

70.They wanted Mike to change his pronunciation because .

A.German schoolchildren did not like a northern accent

B.it was different from the English taught in German schools

C.it was different from the English spoken in Germany

D.German schoolchildren were taught through recordings

71.Why did Mike’s reading of the passage get worse?

A.He needed a drink to clear his throat. B.He was trying to do the recording in an hour.

C.He was trying hard to get certain sounds right. D.He could not learn so many new sounds.

In only two decades Asian-American have become the fastest-growing US minority. As their children began moving up through the nation's schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation's best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. (This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English.) They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.

Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.

Both explanations for academic success worry Asian-Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.

72.While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students .

A.feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English.

B.are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian character

C.still worry about unfair treatment in society

D.generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents

73.What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian-Americans?

A.A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture.

B.Hard work and intelligence.

C.Hard help and a limited knowledge of English.

D.Asian culture and the American educational system.

74.Few Asian-American students major in human sciences mainly because .

A.their English is not good enough.

B.they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areas

C.there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures

D.they know little about American culture and society

75.The author's tone in this passage is____________ .

A.sympathetic B.doubtful C.critical D.objective
