Task 3(3 points each, 15 points in all)

Directions: This task is the same as Task l (No.56 through No. 60).

Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what the causes of stress in our life are, and whether we can do anything about it.

Are we under-employed or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure(闲暇)in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or- fellow workers all they should be?

All these things can be a cause of stress, and it.is.best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustrations(失意)into the open.

People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle their feelings.

If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour's anger.

Task 4(3 points each, 15 points in all)

Directions: This task is the same as Task l (No.61 through No.65).

Scientists have developed a slimming (减肥) drug that successfully suppresses appetite and results in a dramatic loss of weight without any apparent ill effects.

The drug interferes with appetite control and prevents the build-up of fatty tissue. Laboratory mice given the drug lost up to a third of their total body weight.

Within 20 minutes of being given the drug, called C75, the mice lost interest in eating and survived apparently content on just 10 percent of the food they would normally eat.

As a result, mice taking the drug lost 45 percent more weight than mice fed the same amount of food, which compensate for the lack of food by becoming more lazy.

Scientists, from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, said that C75 is likely to produce a similar effect on humans because appetite control in brain is thought to be based on the, same chemical pathways as those in mice.

A. more active B. more lazy C. more aggressive D. more noisy 64. C75 is likely to produce weight-loss effect on humans because . A. mice and humans have similar brain structure B. humans are likely to be more lazy than mice

C. human's appetite is regulated through the same pathway as mice's D. mice and human body use different pathways of appetite control 65. What is the attitude of the scientists toward the slimming drug?
