【正文】 d to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “fight or flight” and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health bees endangered. Since we can’t remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.46. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because___________.A) they regard working as their greatest enjoymentB) they believe that work is superior to relaxationC) they are traveling fast all the timeD) they are being busier with their work than even before47.

In the last sentence of passage, “do so” refers to “_________”.A) expose ourselves to stressB) find ways to deal with stressC) remove stress from our livesD) establish links between diseases and stressPassage ThreeQuestions 50 to 53 are based on the following passage.More and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside puter memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.It’s easy for puter crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the puter is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing remendation from his former employers.Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The puter criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of unmonly bad luck.Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, mit suicide, or go to jail, puter criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good remendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.Why? Because pany executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their puter had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (詐騙) the most confidential（保密）records right under the noses of the pany’s executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another puter criminal departs with just the remendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere. 50. It can be concluded from the passage that _______________.A) it is still impossible to detect puter crimes todayB) people mit puter crimes at the request of their panyC) puter criminals escape punishment because they can’t be detectedD) puter crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutions51. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?A) A strict law against puter crimes must be enforced.B) Companies usually hesitate to uncover puter crimes to protect their reputation.C) Companies will guard against puter crimes to protect their reputation.D) Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.52. What may happen to puter criminals once they are caught?A) With a bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B) They may walk away and easily find another job.C) They will be denied access to confidential records.D) They must leave the country to go to jail.53. The passage is mainly about _________________.A) why puter criminals are often able to escape punishmentB) why puter crimes are difficult to detect by systematic inspectionsC) how puter criminals mange to get good remendations from their former employersD) why puter crimes can’t be eliminatedSection B Short Answer Questions (4 points, 1 point each)Directions: Read the following two business letters.
