According to German researchers, forcing people to be happy and polite all the time is likely to make them sick. They believe most at risk are air hostesses, call center operators, waiters and other workers in close contact with the public.

Professor Dicter Zapf, a researcher into human emotions at Frankfurt University, said false friendliness led to depression, stress and a lowering of the immune(免疫) system. This can lead to more serious illness such as high blood pressure and so on.“Every time a person is forced to repress his true feelings, there are negative consequences for his health,”said Professor Dieter Zapf.

In order to reach these conclusions, for over two years, 4,000 volunteers including shop workers and air hostess, were put in an imaginary call center and abused by customers. Some of the participants were allowed to answer back, while others had to be polite and friendly all the time.

Those who stood up to clients(顧客) had a rapid heartbeat for a brief period, but for those who had to remain friendly, their heart was still racing long after the client had hung up.

The conclusion reached by the researchers was that“being friendly against one's will causes nothing but stress”.

Professor Zapf said, “We are all able to control our emotions, but it becomes difficult to do this over a long period as air hostesses are forced to on long flights.”

“These people need space away from the passengers where they can be on their own and let their feelings run free. We have to get away from the ‘customer is king’ attitude and show more respect to those working in the service industries.”

1.Who are most at risk when forced to be polite all the time?

A. Those connected with the public. B. Those in service industries.

C. Those with high blood pressure. D. Those working at the airport.

2.According to Professor Dicter Zapf, false friendliness can _____.

A. cause conflicts among people B. improve people’s relationship

C. control high blood pressure D. lead to more serious illnesses

3.What can be inferred from the text?

A. About 4000 voluntary students took part in the research.

B. Those allowed to answer back had a slow heartbeat.

C. Those forced to remain polite are likely to have heart problems.

D. Air hostess should be allowed to lose their temper on long flights.

4.What is the main purpose of this text?

A. To tell people to take the “customer is king” attitude.

B. To persuade people out of working in service industries.

C. To appeal to people to respect those in service industries.

D. To remind people in service industries to control their emotions.

You might think male models lead glamorous lives, filled with endless travel and invitations to socialize with the rich and beautiful. Almost everyone has formed an unrealistic picture of their lives, believing that they spend one afternoon beside the Mediterranean Sea sipping coffee and getting suntanned and the next moment they are on board flying to Rome. However, according to a 2016 documentary made by the pop culture news site Fusion, the financial reality of male models is not very pretty.

The main subject of the documentary, titled Unglamorous, is a male model named Cameron Keesling who went to New York to start his career, hoping to make a fortune in the world of models. Keesling is not a supermodel but he has certainly made his name known in the industry. He was “working in the industry for about a year before landing the cover of Italian Vogue” in 2014. But “Keesling and his companions were paid nothing for the shool”, Fusion reporter Nikita Redkar wrote.

Keesling also appeared at Paris Fashion Week and won lots of praise, while his compensation wouldn’t even cover the cost of traveling to and from Paris.

According to the documentary the most common way models get paid is by receiving free clothes, rather than money. In order to make ends meet, consequently, many of them have to take another job simply to make a living. Many of these models are in debt. Once they find an agency to represent them, a living income is provided by the agency to accommodate their rent, food, clothing and other expenses. Models are expected to pay off these costs once they find work, but many of the industry’s jobs don’t pay at all. Believe it or not, there is a pay gap between male models and female counterparts. Based on a survey conducted by Fortune.com, female models can make millions more than males, especially if you compare the top ten earners of each gender.

1.In common people’s eyes, male models are living __________.

A. a busy and simple life B. a tiring and dull life

C. an easy and comfortable life D. a hard and embarrassing life

2.Why does the author mention Cameron Keesling in the second paragraph?

A. To introduce his real life

B. To explain why he went to New York

C. To illustrate the hardship of male models’ lives

D. To encourage models to make a fortune in New York

3.What does the underlined word “counterparts” mean in the last paragraph?

A. Partners B. Peers

C. Opponents D. Competitors

4.What is the writer’s attitude towards the lives of the male models?

A. Supportive B. Doubtful

C. Critical D. Objective

On a freezing afternoon, I picked up a wallet in the street. There was no identification(身份證) inside. Just three dollars, and an old letter that looked as if it had been carried around for years. I opened the letter and saw that it had been written in 1924——almost 60 years ago! I read it carefully, hoping to find some clue(線索) to find the wallet’s owner.

It was a “Dear John” letter. The writer, in a delicate script(娟秀的字跡),told her lover, whose name was Michael, that her mother did not allow her to see him again. It was signed Hannah and her phone number. So I called.

“No, of course! We bought this house from Hannah thirty years ago. Hannah had to live in the nursing home many years ago. Maybe you can go there.”

Then I phoned the nursing home and was told, “Yes, Hannah is with us. Hannah was a sweet, silver-haired old-woman with a warm smile and friendly eyes. ”

I went up to the third floor of the nursing home. I showed her the wallet and the letter. The moment she saw it, she took a deep breath. “Young man,” she said, “this letter was the last contact I had with Michael. ” She then said deeply: “I loved him very much. But I was only sixteen and my mother felt I was too young. I never did marry, I guess no one ever matched up to Michael...”I took the elevator to the first floor. As I stood at the door, holding the letter to the guard. He looked at it closely and said, “Hey, I know ,the letter is Mr. Goldstein’s. He’s always losing it.”

“Who’s Mr. Goldstein?” I asked. “He’s one of the old-timers on the eighth floor. That’s Michael Goldstein’s wallet, for sure.” We went there where Michael Goldstein was reading a book. I told him I know where Hannah is. He grew pale. “Hannah? You know where she is? How is she? When that letter came, my life ended. I never married. I guess I’ve always loved her.”

“Michael,” I said. “Come with me.” We three took the elevator to the third floor. We walked toward the Hannah’s room, still watching TV. Michael Goldstein went over to her. “Hannah,” he said softly. “Do you know me? Hannah, I’m Michael, Michael Goldstein. Do you remember?”

“Michael? Michael? It’s you!” He walked slowly and they embraced(擁抱) tearfully. A perfect ending for a love affair that had lasted nearly 60 years.

1.What do you think is the best title of the passage?

A. Forever Love. B. A Beautiful Girl.

C. Kindness and Chance D. A Great Story.

2. A “Dear John” letter is a letter for____________?

A. love B. marriage.

C. refusing D. party.

3.According to the story, we learned that___________.

A. when in Rome, do as the Romans do

B. Rome is not built in one day

C. All shall be well and Jack shall have Jill

D. Practice makes perfect

4.The writer's purpose of writing this story is to______

A. show how great and loyal the real love is

B. show where there is a will there is a way

C. prove what a surprise Hannah got

D. prove how they regretted to see each other.

Evaluating Sources (來源) of Health Information

Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information,how to separate fact from opinion,how to recognize poor reasoning,and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.1.

Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported,and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study.2.

Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome;this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. 3. Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.

Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true,probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 4. Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully,and be aware of quackery(江湖騙術(shù)).

5. Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration,but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.

Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.

A.Make choices that are right for you.

B.The goal of an ad is to sell you something.

C.Be sure to work through the critical questions.

D.And examine the findings of the original research.

E.Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.

F.Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view.

G.The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.
