As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. 41 you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to 42
down. But relaxation is 43 for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a 44 part of everyday life and there is no way to 45 it. In fact, it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be. A 46 amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give 47 to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control 48 it can lead to poor performance and 49 health.
The amount of stress a person can bear 50 very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such 51 are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at first 52 of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in 53 form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between 54
and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 55 between life and death. The crises(危机) we meet today are 56 to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 57 long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes 58 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have 59 links with stress. 60 we cannot remove stress from our lives we need to find ways to deal with it. It would be unwise to do so even if we could.
So what do you think of stress? What is your way to deal with it?

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。
A
When people advise your children to “get an education”, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to give manpower for your society.
Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally(职业上) dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison and you can successfully stop study in primary school.
Get a college degree, if possible. With a BA(学士学位), you should start to find a job. You have to put on the brakes now. If you do go for a master’s degree, make sure it is an MBA and only from a first-class university. Otherwise, the famous law of diminishing(报酬递减律) begins to work.
Do you know; for example, that long-distance truck drivers make more money a year than full professors(正教授)? Yes, each driver was paid $ 28,000 in 1997 while a full professor managed to get $ 27,930.
A PhD is the highest degree you can get, but except in few specialized filed such as physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly by turned to industrial or commercial aim, you are facing a not very bright future. There are more PhDs unemployed in this country than in any other part of the world by far.
If you became a PhD in English or history or political science or languages or－worst of all-in philosophy, you take the risk of becoming over-educated for our national demands.
Thousands of PhDs are selling shoes, driving taxis, vomiting on tables and filling out applications month after month, and then may be taking a job in high school or college with the pay much less than a door-keeper makes.
61．According to the writer, the society expects education to turn out people who will ________.
A．raise their payment &
