22、Long long ago, there was a blacksmith(铁匠). He was always unhappy with his life. “ I’m always hot as a blacksmith. I want to be a stone on the mountain. There it must be cool.” A wise man could change everything. The blacksmith went to the wise man. The wise man said, “Be a stone!” The blacksmith became a stone. A moment later, a stonemason(石匠) came and saw the stone. “It’s what I want,” he said and began to cut it. The stone cried, “Ouch! I don’t want to be a stone. I want to be the sun. That would be great.” The wise man said, “Be the sun!” And he became the sun. But the sun was much hotter, so he said, “ I don’t like this. I’d like to be the moon. It looks cool!” The wise man said again, “Be the moon!” And he became the moon. “This is hotter than being the sun, because the light from the sun shines（照射）on me” he said, “ I don’t want to be the moon. I want to be a blacksmith again. That’s the best life.”

But the wise man said, “ I’m tired of your changing. You want to be the moon, now you are the moon, and you’ll be the moon in the future.”

23、   Is stress from work or school making you sick? If so, you may belong to a growing number of people suffering from serious stress. Experts have called the problem the “Black Death of the 21st century.” The original Black Death is estimated (据估计) to have killed 25 million people in Europe in the 14th century. While no one expects stress to be quite that deadly, it is still a serious matter.

A recent study has shown that stress can affect our ability to go to work. Stress is now the number one reason workers stay home sick four continuous (不间断) weeks or more.

What has led to the growing stress felt in the workplace? The bad economic situation is a major reason. Record numbers of layoffs (裁员) have increased workers’ worry about losing their jobs. Layoffs have also increased the amount of work workers are expected to do. People then work longer hours, which often creates problems for them at home, causing even more stress.

According to Professor Cary Cooper, writer of over 120 books, stress often leads to changes in manner of acting. You may notice that you’re having a hard time centering around things. You may find yourself losing your temper (脾气) easily. You might even seem to have lost your sense of humor. Other stress-related problems include difficulty in sleeping, overeating or drinking in excess.

Stress must be managed by workers themselves and by the company. Workers can take steps to manage stress. They can create a suitable plan and have breaks from time to time. Bosses can help by showing workers that their opinions may be important. They can also allow workers to have some say in decisions that matter their jobs.

  Everyone should work together to look for ways to cope with on-the-job stress.

【1】What does the article point out about the “Black Death” today?

A. A kind of serious disease

B. A bad social situation especially in your work place

C. A relationship between you and your boss

D. A lonely feeling about how you make a living

【2】According to the passage, if you have been home sick more than usual, that means ______.

A. you have failed to manage your work

B. something goes wrong with your body or mind

C. stress may be the main cause

D. you are expected to stay at home to improve your ability for work

【3】How do you notice that you have had the problem of stress?

A. You may spend time with friends and loved ones.

B. You are worrying about losing your job.

C. Your boss gives you a chance to express something valuable.

D. You are impatient with others.

【4】Among all of the following words, which of the two will you choose to describe paragraph 3 and paragraph 4?

①   Ways ② Signs ③ Causes ④ Habits  ⑤ Reviews

A. ⑤&② B. ③&② C. ⑤&④ D. ③&①

24、

Mr. and Mrs. March lived together with their four daughters. Amy was very shy. Beth loved being at home. Meg looked very pretty. Jo was tall and thin and she was a tomboy. Their home was always busy and full of noise and people. Next to them lived old Mr. Laurence and his grandson, Laurie. They lived in a very large and comfortable house. But it was a house without life.

One day, Joe saw Laurie standing at an upstairs window in his house and looking down at their garden. Jo’s sisters were playing in the snow there. They were throwing snowballs and having a lot of fun. But Laurie’s face was very sad.

“Poor boy!” Jo thought. “He’s all alone. He needs some friends.” She couldn’t stop thinking about him. She wanted to go and see him, but how could she go to the house without an invitation?

Then one snowy afternoon, she saw Laurie’s grandpa go out. This gave her an idea. She took a broom from the kitchen.

“What are you going to do, Jo?” asked her sister Meg.

“To clear the garden path.” answered Jo.

When Laurie saw Jo from the window, a big smile changed his pale, sad face.

Jo laughed and shouted, “How are you? Are you ill?”

Laurie opened the window and said, “I’m better now, thank you. I had a bad cold and had to stay inside for a week”.

“I’m sorry,” said Jo. “Are you bored?”

“Yes, very.” he replied.

“Don’t your friends come to visit you?”

“No. But I don’t want to see anybody. Boys are noisy and they give me a headache.”

“Girls are quiet.”

“I don’t know any girls.”

“You know us.”

“That’s true! Can you come and visit me?” cried Laurie.

“I’m not quiet, but I’d like to come,” replied Jo. “I must ask Mother first.” She ran back into her house.

A few minutes later, she returned and rang the bell on the door of laurie’s house. A servant took her upstairs.

“Here I am!” she said brightly. “Mother sends her love and my sisters gave me this blancmange（牛奶冻）for you.”

“That looks yummy,” Laurie said. He was very happy to see Jo.

Jo looked around. There were lots of books on the shelves.

“A nice room!” she said. “I can read to you if you like.”

“No, let’s talk,” replied Laurie.

“All right.” said Jo, “I can talk for hours. My sisters say I never know when to stop.”

“You have three sisters-Amy, Beth and Meg.”Laurie continued.

“How do you know this?” Jo was surprised.

“You call each other’s names when you are in the garden. Sometimes I can see you all around the table with your mother. She has a very kind face. I like looking at her. I haven’t got a mother.” Jo felt sad when she heard this.

“Why don’t you come and visit us?” she said, “It isn’t good for you to stay in this house all the time.”

“Thank you. I’d like to come very much.” said Laurie.

“We know all our neighbours except you.” Jo said, “I’m glad we’ re friends now.”

She told him about all the interesting things in her life. She said, “Besides plays, I also love books.” Laurie loved books too, and offered to show her the library in the house. The library was a wonderful room. Jo loved it.

“Wow!” she said, “All those books!”

Laurie said, “A person needs more than books.”

Just then the bell rang and a servant came in....
