People have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research. Recently the term "health" has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another term-quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.
　　Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.
小題1:________ leads to people's deeper understanding of health.
A．Common knowledge
B．Progress in scientific research
C．Better conditions of living
D．Quality of life
小題2:The emphasis of health has shifted nowadays because _________.
A．people enjoy better conditions of living and they can live longer
B．people pay more attention to their physical health, not their mental health
C．people have realized the importance of mental well-being
D．people are inspired by medical advances
小題3:We can infer from the passage __________.
A．nowadays the emphasis of health has a broader focus because of improvements in the quality of food
B．the overall quality of people's lives improved greatly in the 20th century
C．those who never fall ill are the truly healthy people
D．those who were born before 1900 could not have lived until now
小題4:This passage is mainly about __________.
A．different understandings of the term "health"
B．improving the quality of life
C．the importance of quality living
D．people's expectations of a long and healthy life

A
Once there was a man who liked to eat mangoes. One day he decided to get the sweetest mango from the very top of the tree. Mangoes which are exposed to the sun the most are the sweetest.
So he climbed up to the top, where the branches were thin. He managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. Fortunately, he caught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree. Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him.
Then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived — a well-known sage (a wise person) who lived in a simple hut nearby. People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many people’s problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones.
He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man.
Everybody was surprised. The hanging mango lover started to shout: “What are you doing?! Are you crazy? Do you want me to break my neck?” The sage was silent. Then he took another stone and threw it at the man. The man was very angry: “If I could just come down, I would show you!”
That’s what everybody wanted. Then he was coming down. But how? Now everybody was tense about what would happen next! Some wanted to blame the sage, but they didn’t. The sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. Now the man on the tree was even more angry and developed a great determination to come down and take revenge (復(fù)仇).
He then used all his skill and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. And he made it! Everybody was amazed.
However, the rescued man found the sage gone. He stood there, realizing that the man really saved him because he induced (引誘) him to try his best and save himself.
“I should be thankful and not angry.”
小題1:From the story we know that the sweetest mango must be the one ______.
A．on the very top of a treeB．hidden in the middle of a tree

D．He shouted loudly for help but no one helped.
小題3:How did the man feel when the sage hit him with a stone?
A．He was nervous.B．He kept silent.
C．He felt surprised.D．He was angry.
小題4:What do you think motivated (caused) the man to climb down?

Gallows humor（黑色幽默）seem like a mistake, or at least in poor taste. But psychologists say that gallows humor can be an important way to relieve stress. “Humor makes you feel in control and it can give you that feeling that everything is okay even when it's not,” says James M. Jones, a psychology professor at the University of Delaware.
Psychologists say that just because you're laughing doesn't mean you’re wasting time. Occasional teasing among colleagues, particularly if it revolves around things associated with the job, can boost creativity, departmental cohesiveness（凝聚力）and performance.
“There are a lot of stressors out there,” says Ed Dunkelblau, a psychologist with the Institute for Emotionally Intelligent Learning in Chicago. “But gallows humor is a way of making difficult things a little less difficult.”
This is true as long as the humor is used for the right purpose. The main point of it should be inspiring people --- not laughing at them. “Anything that would lift morale（士氣）in terms of the company would be good humor,” says Thierry Guedj, a professor of business and psychology at Boston University. “Before you say or do anything, think about, ‘How is this helping my employees’ morale?’”
You want to give your employees and co-workers a sense of belonging, so don’t make observations that are aggressive. Most obviously, Dr Guedj says, don’t make comments about people’s physical appearance, or faith. If you have any doubt, it's appropriate, don't go through with it.
Or you can take aim at the one person you know won't be offended（冒犯）:Yourself. “If there's going to be a joke or story, it should be you,” Mr. Dunkelblau says. For example, if you're a marketing manager reviewing a failed campaign that you led, begin with a line like, “The guy who gave permission to this deal might just be looking for work next week.”
“People with the ability to laugh at themselves can give other people permission to laugh at themselves too,” Mr. Jones says. “And if you can laugh at yourself, you feel better about yourself.”
小題1:According to the text, gallows humor has the following functions EXCEPT ________.
A．reducing pressure
B．improving performance
C．making people more creative
D．leading to a big mistake
小題2:What is Ed Dunkelblau’s attitude towards gallows humor?
A．Positive.B．Negative.C．Neutral.D．Uncertain.
小題3:Which of the following would Dr. Guedj most probably agree with?
A．Gallows humor is the basic source of morale.
B．Gallows humor allows people to laugh at others.
C．Gallows humor may sometimes be used for the wrong purpose.
D．Anything that may lift morale can be called gallows humor.
小題4:When people use gallows humor, they should ________.
A．observe who is aggressive
B．show a sense of belonging
C．doubt about the result of humors
D．try to avoid irritating others
小題5:What can we infer from the text?
A．People tend to laugh at others rather than themselves.
B．Laughing at ourselves can help relieve the stress of others.
C．People can’t avoid offending others with gallows humor.
D．People who laugh at themselves are hard to be friends with.

Success starts within our mind. Now, we will discuss four steps to change our lives and create a new future.
   ■ 1. Think big. Get rid of negative(負(fù)面的)beliefs.
     Your beliefs have developed from what happened to you in the past. You should realize that the past is not equal to the future, unless you really live there. The first thing you need to do is to drive all the negative beliefs away from your mind. Those beliefs are not useful for creating a new future. Think that everything is possible if you put enough effort in it. When you change your beliefs into positive ones, you will feel more powerful. You will then be able to move on to the next level.
   ■ 2. Write your plan to achieve your goals.
     Your great goals should be divided into smaller goals. Make a timetable for each goal so that you can measure your progress. Write a detailed plan to achieve these goals.
   ■ 3.Take action according to your plan.
     Nothing bears fruit without action. Every successful person has to work hard towards his or her goals. There is no exception(例外). Be prepared to work according to your plan. Be willing to invest (投資) in the resources necessary for your progress. Do not give up.
   ■ 4. Review what you have done and know how good you are.
     While you are in the process of your work, take some time to review how well you have done. Review your progress based on your plan and see if you need to change anything. You can change your methods but you should not change your goals.
