Questions 27～31 are based on the following passage. Worry is one of the most common forms

of emotional distress in our culture. Almost everyone spends a considerable amount of present moments worrying about the future. And virtually all of it is for nothing. Obsessive (过分的) worry will never make things any better. In fact, such worry will very likely help you to be less effective in dealing with the present.

In order to reduce worry, it is necessary to understand the subconscious psychological "

payoffs" for choosing to worry in the first place. "I can't do a thing. I'm too worded about... " This is a common sorrow, and one with a payoff that keeps you standing still and avoiding the risk of action. Clearly, it is easier, if less rewarding, to worry than to be an active.

If you weigh too much, you may eat more when you worry; hence, you have a good reason for hanging on to the worry behavior. Similarly, you may find yourself smoking more in troublesome situations, and can use the worry to avoid giving up smoking. The same anxious reward system also applies to health. It may be easier for you to worry about chest pains than to risk finding out the truth, and then having to deal directly with yourself.

Worry can bring a lot of diseases such as tension headaches and backaches. While these may not seem to be payoffs, they do result in considerable attention from others and justify much self-pity as well. And some people would rather be pitied than fulfilled.

Now that you understand the psychological support system for neurotic worry, you can begin to devise some measures for reducing the number of troublesome worry bugs that breed in this incorrect zone.

Begin to view your present moments as times to live, rather than times to worry about the future. When you" catch yourself worrying, ask yourself, "What am I avoiding now by using up this moment with worry？" Then begin to attack whatever you're avoiding. "

第27题：The passage is mainly concerned with _________

A．the negative effects of worry

B．the positive effects of worry

C．the causes of worry

D．the diseases caused by worry

Questions 27～31 are based on the following passage. Some people, believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true : that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood: Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.

One country received its second medals with visible indignation(愤怒) after the hockey(曲棍球) final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponent's victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said,“This wasn't hockey．Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished. " The President of the Federation said later that such behavior. could result in the suspension (暂令停止参加) of the team for at least three years.

The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in, disorder. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.

Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the .game．The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism.

第27题：According to the author, recent Olympic Games have_________

A．created goodwill between the nations

B．bred only false national pride

C．barely showed any international friendship

D．led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred

Passage Two Questions 27 to 31 are based on the following passage. Sixteen-year-old Karl

Passage Two Questions 27 to 31 are based on the following passage.

Sixteen-year-old Karlos Dearman’s future is looking much brighter than he might previously have imagined. “I’ve always been into bikes, but never thought I’d end up working with them,” he says. “This scheme has changed my life.”

Karlos is learning to refurbish (翻新) old bicycles in the workshop of ReCycle Bikes, a local community charity in Sheffield, which has a contract with the city council to provide training opportunities for young people aged 14 to 16, particularly those struggling in mainstream education or excluded from school.

“It’s about engaging youngsters with education and youth training by teaching them work and life skills,” explains Des Pearce, workshop training manager. “These young people have so much potential, but often don’t realize it.”

Established in 2001, ReCycle Bikes repairs bicycles donated by the public, which, once restored, are sold for ￡20. Abandoned bikes supplied by the council ensure a steady flow of bikes, but a recently formed partnership with Sheffield University should improve further the prospects of the young mechanics.

“The student population presents a large and ready market,” says Pearce. “So we approached the university last year and offered to host bike sales on the campus. They thought it was a great idea, and agreed to supplement our council funding. This means we can train youngsters to repair extra 500 bikes over three years, and fund Karlos’s apprenticeship.”

Having set up ReCycle Bikes on his own, Pearce now has the staff and resources to track the career development of those who have passed through his workshop.

“At the moment we depend on anecdotal evidence from the schools,” he says. “But we are planning exit interviews with the young people to ascertain what they plan to do, and these will allow us to check on their progress.”

That most of the teenagers enjoy the work is, according to Pearce, easily explained. “Most kids have ridden a bike and know how to oil a chain or mend a puncture. As low-cost transport, cycling gives the young and old a sense of freedom and independence, and the impact on their well-being is immense. Add to that a growing concern for the environment, and it’s no surprise that bike sales are on the increase.”

第27题：What do we know about ReCycle Bikes？

A) It is a popular brand of bikes which are sold in Sheffield.

B) It is a local community charity that provides training opportunities for young people.

C) It is a contract signed between a local community charity and the city council.

D) It is a training program offered by the city council to those excluded from school.

Marketing

Mergers agencies find out whether there is a demand for a product and what sort of demand it is. They will want to know if there are competitors to the product they are going to place; who will use it--men, women, or both; will there be only one section of men or women who will use it, would a low price (19) more customers, or would they need to add something to it to make it popular, or change its packaging— (20) it？ For the (21) to these and other questions they will make a survey--an examination--of the market. The survey most people are (22) with is the questionnaire; where a (23) --a specially selected group of people--are asked questions about products they use: and why they buy them. But market research techniques can be more complicated than this, (24) for example, a group of people discussing a subject, say, (25) hygiene, to find out if a new toothpaste will sell. Tests may be made by giving away (26) samples of the new product, or reactions to a brand name--the name of a product--may be studied to find out whether a new product will be (27) on the market. From the information (28) , the marketing companies can prepare their advertising campaign--the (29) plan.

There are two types of advertising--product and brand advertising. Product advertising tells people that a new invention or device is being sold. Perhaps a new design of typewriters with special (30) or a new pen that is easier to use. Brand advertising tells people there is a new name on the (31) . A product, what it does, and how it is made, could be the same as (32) , for example, soap powder, but its name is different. In the UK there are basically (33) two detergent, or soap companies which produce hundreds of brand names for powders that are really the same product.
