【范文】How to improve psychological health? As is known to all, psychological health is as important as, if not more important than, physical health for a student during his/her growth.However, it's quite worrying that nowadays some students are not quite psychologically healthy.Undoubtedly, schools and universities should take great account in the responsibilities of students' psychological health.Relevant courses and activities should be introduced to students so that they would be more aware of the significance of psychological health and find appropriate ways to maintain and improve it.For example, there should be a psychological counseling hotline or office for students to turn to when they need some psychological aid.Of course no psychological health can be obtained without the efforts from the students themselves.From my perspective, what they can do is trying to stay positive, optimistic and follow the right guidelines from their schools.To be more specific, they can participate in some activities such as voluntary work to cultivate an opening and caring mind.Meanwhile, harmful impacts from the cyber space should definitely be avoided.Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)

It was a lovely day at the park and Stella Bianchi was enjoying the sunshine with her two children when a young boy, aged about four, approached her two-year-old son and pushed him to the ground.“I’d watched him for a little while and my son was the fourth or fifth child he’d shoved,” she says.” I went over to them, picked up my son, turned to the boy and said, firmly, ’No, we don’t push,” What happened next was unexpected.“The boy’s mother ran toward me from across the park,” Stella says,” I thought she was coming over to apologize, but instead she started shouting at me for disciplining her child, All I did was let him know his behavior was unacceptable.Was I supposed to sit back while her kid did whatever he wanted, hurting other children in the process?”
Getting your own children to play nice is difficult enough.Dealing with other people’s children has become a minefield.In my house, jumping on the sofa is not allowed.In my sister’s house it’s encouraged.For her, it’s about kids being kids:”If you can’t do it at three, when can you do it?”

Each of these philosophies is valid and, it has to be said, my son loves visiting his aunt’s house.But I find myself saying “no” a lot when her kids are over at mine.That’s OK between sisters but becomes dangerous territory when you’re talking to the children of friends or acquaintances.“Kids aren’t all raised the same,” agrees Professor Naomi White of Monash University.” But there is still an idea that they’re the property of the parent.We see our children as an extension of ourselves, so if you’re saying that my child is behaving inappropriately, then that’s somehow a criticism of me.”
In those circumstances, it’s difficult to know whether to approach the child directly or the parent first.There are two schools of thought.“I’d go to the child first,” says Andrew Fuller, author of Tricky Kids.Usually a quiet reminder that ’we don’t do that here’ is enough.Kids nave finely tuned antennae(直覺)for how to behave in different settings.”
He points out bringing it up with the parent first may make them feel neglectful, which could cause problems.Of course, approaching the child first can bring its own headaches, too.This is why White recommends that you approach the parents first.Raise your concerns with the parents if they’re there and ask them to deal with it,” she says.Asked how to approach a parent in this situation, psychologist Meredith Fuller answers:”Explain your needs as well as stressing the importance of the friendship.Preface your remarks with something like: ’I know you’ll think I’m silly but in my house I don’t want?’” When it comes to situations where you’re caring for another child, white is straightforward: “common sense must prevail.If things don’t go well, then have a chat.”
There’re a couple of new grey areas.Physical punishment, once accepted from any adult, is no longer appropriate.“A new set of considerations has come to the fore as part of the debate about how we handle children.” For Andrew Fuller, the child-centric nature of our society has affected everyone:” The rules are different now from when today’s parents were growing up,” he says, “Adults are scared of saying: ’don’t swear’, or asking a child to stand up on a bus.They’re worried that there will be conflict if they point these things out – either from older children, or their parents.”
He sees it as a loss of the sense of common public good and public courtesy(禮貌), and says that adults suffer form it as much as child.Meredith Fuller agrees: “A code of conduct is hard to create when you’re living in a world in which everyone is exhausted from overwork and lack of sleep, and a world in which nice people are perceived to finish last.”
“it’s about what I’m doing and what I need,” Andrew Fuller says.”the days when a kid came home from school and said, “I got into trouble”.And dad said, ‘you probably deserved it’.Are over.Now the parents are charging up to the school to have a go at teachers.” This jumping to our children’s defense is part of what fuels the “walking on eggshells” feeling that surrounds our dealings with other people’s children.You know that if you remonstrate(勸誡)with the child, you’re going to have to deal with the parent.it’s admirable to be protective of our kids, but is it good? 有道詞典,很小很強大—桌面上最好用的中英文翻譯軟件—免費下載:http://cidian.youdao.com Youdao CET Band 4--有道詞典四級真題 2010-6-19
“Children have to learn to negotiate the world on their own, within reasonable boundaries,” White says.“I suspect that it’s only certain sectors of the population doing the running to the school –better –educated parents are probably more likely to be too involved.” White believes our notions of a more child-centred, it’s a way of talking about treating our children like commodities(商品).We’re centred on them but in ways that reflect positively on us.We treat them as objects whose appearance and achievements are something we can be proud of, rather than serve the best interests of the children.”
One way over-worked, under-resourced parents show commitment to their children is to leap to their defence.Back at the park, Bianchi’s intervention(干預)on her son’s behalf ended in an undignified exchange of insulting words with the other boy’s mother.As Bianchi approached the park bench where she’d been sitting, other mums came up to her and congratulated her on taking a stand.“Apparently the boy had a longstanding reputation for bad behaviour and his mum for even worse behaviour if he was challenged.”
Andrew Fuller doesn’t believe that we should be afraid of dealing with other people’s kids.“look at kids that aren’t your own as a potential minefield,” he says.He recommends that we don’t stay silent over inappropriate behaviour, particularly with regular visitors.注意:此部分試題請在答題卡1上作答。

Directions There are 2 passages in this section, each passage is followed by some question or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A B C D.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage one Question 57 to 61 based on the following passage.If you are a male and you are reading this ,congratulations: you are a survivor.According to statistics.you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman ,and nine times more likely to die of AIDS.Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average five years before a woman.There are many reasons for this-typically, men take more risks than woman and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor.“Men aren’t seeing doctors as often as they should, ” says Dr.Gullotta, “This is particularly so for the over-40s,when diseases tend to strike.”
Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two.For those over 45,it should be at least once a year.Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old ma who had delayed doing anything about his smoker’s cough for a year.“When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer” he says, “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged this life”

According to a recent survey, 95%of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.“A lot of men think they are invincible(不可戰勝的)”Gullotta says “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think” Geez, if it could happen to him.Then there is the ostrich approach,” some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know, ” says Dr.Ross Cartmill.“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says.He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups Regular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain on the public purse, Cartmill says.” But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases.Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater: it is called premature death.”
57.Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage? A.They are more likely to survive serious diseases today.B.Their average life span has been considerably extended.C.They have lived long enough to read this article.D.They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier live.58。What does the author state is the most important reason men die five years earlier on average than women? A.men drink and smoke much more than women B.men don’t seek medical care as often as women C.men aren’t as cautions as women in face of danger D.men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases 59.Which of the following best completes the sentence “Geez, if it could happen to him,?’(line2,para,8)?
A.it could happen to me, too B.I should avoid playing golf C.I should consider myself lucky D.it would be a big misfortune 60what does Dr.Ross Cartmill mean by “the ostrich approach”(line q para.9)A.a casual attitude towards one’s health conditions B.a new therapy for certain psychological problems C.refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved D.unwillingness to find out about one’s disease because of fear 61.What does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men? A.They may increase public expenses B.They will save money in the long run
C.They may cause psychological strains on men D.They will enable men to live as long as women Passage two Question 62 to 66 are based on the following passage High-quality customer service is preached(宣揚)by many ,but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done 有道詞典,很小很強大—桌面上最好用的中英文翻譯軟件—免費下載:http://cidian.youdao.com Youdao CET Band 4--有道詞典四級真題 2010-6-19
Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store, but instead will alert their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers-and anyone who will listen.Store managers are often the last to hear complaints, and often find out only when their regular customers decide t frequent their competitors, according to a study jointly conducted by Verde group and Wharton school “Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers,” said Paula Courtney, President of the Verde group.” the store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.”
On average, every unhappy customer will complain to at least four other, and will no longer visit the specific store for every dissatisfied customer, a store will lose up to three more due to negative reviews.The resulting “snowball effect” can be disastrous to retailers.According to the research, shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems.ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers.The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered(塞滿了的)shelves, overloaded racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude salespeople.During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting moonlighting local police to work as parking attendants.Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty parking spaces.This guidance climinated the need for customers to circle the parking lot endlessly, and avoided confrontation between those eyeing the same parking space.Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions.Most importantly, salespeople should be diplomatic and polite with angry customers.“Retailers who’re responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who aren’t so friendly.” said Professor Stephen Hoch.“Maybe something as simple as a greeter at the store entrance would help.”
Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world.Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.注意:此部分試題請在答題卡2上作答
62.Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints? A Most customers won’t bother to complain even if they have had unhappy experiences.B Customers would rather relate their unhappy experiences to people around them.C Few customers believe the service will be improved.D Customers have no easy access to store managers.63.What does Paula Courtney imply by saying “ ? the shopper must also find a replacement”(Line 2, Para.4)? A New customers are bound to replace old ones.B It is not likely the shopper can find the same products in other stores.C Most stores provide the same
D Not complaining to the manager causes the shopper some trouble too.64.Shop owners often hire moonlighting police as parking attendants so that shoppers_____ A can stay longer browsing in the store B won’t have trouble parking their cars

No.The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any.So we would probably program it to cease its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning.According to the evolutionary(進化的)theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason.The theory does not deny(否認)that sleep provides some important
restorative functions.It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous.However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into;it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us.So we sleep well when we are in familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.The evolutionary theory accounts well for differences in sleep among creatures.Why do cats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do.But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep.Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value.Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers.21.The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us ______.(A)the differences between robots and men(C)about the need for robots to save power(B)the reason why men need to sleep(D)about the danger of men working at night 22.Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him ______.(A)maintain a regular pattern of life(C)avoid danger and inefficient labor(B)prevent trouble that comes looking for him(D)restore his bodily functions 23.According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we _____.(A)are worrying about our safety(C)are in a tent(B)are overworked(D)are away from home 24.Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats _____.(A)need more time for restoration(B)are unlikely to be attackers(C)are more active than horses when they are awake(D)spend less time eating to get enough energy 25.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage? ______.(A)Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking.(B)The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory.(C)Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots.(D)The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats.Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.“ Congratulations, Mr.Jones, it's a girl.” Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words.Some feel pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good father.Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them.Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time.For other couples, pregnancy(懷孕)was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task.Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this resocialization process.Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father's role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother's role.The mother's role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine(生活規律)and highly innovative(創新的)adaptation, on the other hand, the father's role is less demanding and immediate.However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.26.According to the author, being a father _____.(A)brings a feeling of excitement to some men(B)has a different
meaning for those who have daughters(C)makes some men feel proud and others uneasy(D)means nothing but more responsibilities 27.It is stated in the passage that _____.(A)some parents are not prepared to have a child(B)young couples do not like children at all(C)working couples do not have much time to take care of their children(D)many parents look forward to having a boy as their first child 28.In the second paragraph, the author ______.(A)criticizes fathers for not taking enough responsibilities in bringing up their children(B)excuses the American writers for ignoring the difficulties of being a father(C)supports the idea that the chief role of a father is to earn money for the family(D)complains about the lack of social programs to help husbands adjust themselves to being a father 29.The transition to the mother's role requires that the wife ______.(A)change her life style in a highly innovative way(B)make a complete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situation(C)stay at home to take care of the baby(D)help her husband in his resocialization process
30.Some writers argue that with respect to the change of roles, fathers, compared with mothers, _____.(A)have to shoulder more burdens(C)have an easier job to do(B)have to make more difficult adaptations(D)can usually do a better job Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text.The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers.In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on.For most of the time this “conversation” goes on below the level of consciousness.At times, however, we become aware of it.This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning.When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.Different people converse with the text differently.Some stay very close to the words on the page;others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining.The former represents a kind of comprehension which is written in the text.The latter represents higher levels of comprehension.The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read.We call this a “process” conversation as opposed to a “content” conversation.It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies(策略)we employ in reading.If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a process conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed.Not so our ability to hold a content conversation.It is precisely this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.31.Reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text becomes conscious only when _____.(A)the reader's expectations agree with what is said in the text(B)the reader has trouble understanding what the author says(C)the reader asks questions and gets answers(D)the reader understands a text very well 32.At a lower level of comprehension, readers tend to _____.(A)read a text slowly(C)interpret a text in their own way(B)read without thinking hard(D)concentrate on the meaning of words only 33.A “process” conversation has to do with ______.(A)the application of reading strategies(B)matching our expectations with the meaning of a text(C)the development of our ability to check the details(D)determining the main idea of a text 34.According to the passage, it is of great importance for readers at a higher level to maintain a balance between ______.(A)conscious and unconscious levels of comprehension(B)the reader's expectations and the meaning of a text(C)lower and higher levels of
comprehension(D)interpreting and criticizing a text 35.If we want to develop our reading ability at an advanced level, we should ______.(A)learn to use different approaches in reading different texts
(B)make our reading process more conscious(C)pay more attention to the content of a text(D)take a critical attitude towards the author's idea Passage Four Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Although April did not bring us the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley doesn't generally experience the atmospheric sound and lightning that can accompany those rains, it's still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.The reason these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults to explain to children is that they are not very well understood by adults themselves.For example, did you know that the lightning we see flashing down to the earth from a cloud is actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth? Our eyes trick us into thinking we see a downward motion when it's actually the other way around.But then, if we believed only what we think we see, we'd still insist that the sun rises in the morning and sets at night.Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud, and only a relative few can be seen jumping between two cloud or between earth and a cloud.But, with about 2,000 thunderstorms taking place above the earth every minute of the day and night, there's enough activity to produce about 100 lightning strikes on earth every second.Parents can use thunder and lightning to help their children learn more about the world around them.When children understand that the light of the lightning flashing reaches their eyes almost at the same moment, but the sound of the thunder takes about 5 seconds to travel just one mile, they can begin to time the interval between the flash and the crash to learn how close they were to the actual spark.36.According to the author, in the area of the Central Valley, ______.(A)rains usually come without thunder and lightning(B)it is usually dry in April(C)children pay no attention to natural phenomena(D)parents are not interested in thunder and lightning
37.We believe that lightning is a downward notion because ______.(A)we were taught so by our parents from our childhood(B)we are deceived by our sense of vision(C)it is a common natural phenomenon(D)it is a truth proved by science 38.What is TRUE about lightning according to the passage?(A)Only a small number of lightning flashes occur on earth.(B)Lightning travels 5 minutes faster than thunder.(C)Lightning flashes usually jump from one cloud to another.(D)There are far more lightning strikes occurring on earth than we imagine.39.The word “activity”(Para.3, Line 3)is most closely related to the word(s)_____.(A)“cloud”(C)“lightning flashes”(B)“lightning strikes”
(D)“thunderstorms” 40.It can be concluded from the passage that ______.(A)we should not believe what we see or hear(B)things moving downward are more noticeable(C)people often have wrong concepts about ordinary phenomena(D)adults are not as good as children in observing certain natural phenomena Part III Vocabulary and Structure(20 minutes)41.Before he left for his vacation he went to the bank to _____ some money.(A)pull(B)pick(C)gain(D)draw 42.By the end of the year all but two people ______.(A)have left(B)will leave(C)will be leaving(D)will have left 43.Frankfurt, Germany, is in one of the most _____ populated regions of Western Europe.(A)densely(B)vastly(C)enormously(D)largely 44.Everyone had an application from in his hand, but no one knew which office room _____.(A)to send it to(B)to send it(C)to be sent to(D)to have it sent 45.The police set a _____ to catch the thieves.(A)plan(B)device(C)trap(D)trick 46.We _____ to start our own business, but we never had enough money.(A)have hoped(B)hope(C)had hoped(D)should hope
