　　Six Secrets of High-Energy People
　　There’s an energy crisis in America, and it has nothing to do with fossil
fuels. Millions of us get up each morning already weary over the day holds. “I
just can’t get started,” people say. But it’s not physical energy that most of
us lack. Sure, we could all use extra sleep and a better diet. But in truth,
people are healthier today than at any time in history. I can almost guarantee
that if you long for more energy, the problem is not with your body.
　　What you’re seeking is not physical energy. It’s emotional energy. Yet, sad
to say, life sometimes seems designed to exhaust our supply. We work too hard.
We have family obligations. We encounter emergencies and personal crises. No
wonder so many of us suffer from emotional fatigue, a kind of utter exhaustion
of the spirit.
　　And yet we all know people who are filled with joy, despite the unpleasant
circumstances of their lives. Even as a child, I observed people who were poor,
or disabled, or ill, but who nonetheless faced life with optimism and vigor.
Consider Laura Hillenbrand, who despite an extremely weak body, wrote the
best-seller Seabiscuit. Hillenbrand barely had enough physical energy to drag
herself out of bed to write. But she was fueled by having a story she wanted to
share. It was emotional energy that helped her succeed.
　　Unlike physical energy, which is finite and diminishes with age, emotional
energy is unlimited and has nothing to do with genes or upbringing. So how do
you get it? You can’t simply tell yourself to be positive. You must take action.
Here are six practical strategies that work.
　　1. Do something new.
　　Very little that’s new occurs in our lives. The impact of this sameness on
our emotional energy is gradual, but huge: It’s like a tire with a slow leak.
You don’t notice it at first, but eventually you’ll get a flat. It’s up to you
to plug the leak—even though there are always a dozen reasons to stay stuck in
your dull routines of life. That’s where Maura, 36, a waitress, found herself a
　　Fortunately, Maura had a lifeline—a group of women friends who meet
regularly to discuss their lives. Their lively discussions spurred Maura to make
small but nevertheless life altering changes. She joined a gym in the next town.
She changed her look with a short haircut and new black T-shirts. Eventually,
Maura gathered the courage to quit her job and start her own business.
　　Here’s a challenge: If it’s something you wouldn’t ordinarily do, do it.
Try a dish you’ve never eaten. Listen to music you’d ordinarily tune out. You’ll
discover these small things add to your emotional energy.
　　2. Reclaim life’s meaning.
　　So many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning, but
that somewhere along the line things went stale.
　　The first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you
really care about, and then do something about it. A case in point is Ivy, 57, a
pioneer in investment banking. “I mistakenly believed that all the money I made
would mean something,” she says. “But I feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering
what to do with her life.” Ivy’s solution? She started a program that shows Wall
Streeters how to donate time and money to poor children. In the process, Ivy
filled her life with meaning.
　　3. Put yourself in the fun zone.
　　Most of us grown-ups are seriously fun-deprived. High-energy people have
the same day-to-day work as the rest of us, but they manage to find something
enjoyable in every situation. A real estate broker I know keeps herself amused
on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to clients. “I love
imagining what even the most run-down house could look like with a little tender
loving care,” she says. “It’s a challenge—and the least desirable properties are
usually the most fun.”
　　We all define fun differently, of course, but I can guarantee this: If you
put just a bit of it into your day, you energy will increase quickly.
　　4. Bid farewell to guilt and regret.
　　Everyone’s past is filled with regrets that still cause pain. But from an
emotional energy point of view, they are dead weights that keep us from moving
forward. While they can’t merely be willed away, I do recommend you remind
yourself that whatever happened is in the past, and nothing can change that.
Holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the
　　5. Make up your mind.
　　Say you’ve been thinking about cutting your hair short. Will it look
stylish—or too extreme?
　　You endlessly think it over. Having the decision hanging over your head is
a huge energy drain.
　　Every time you can’t decide, you burden yourself with alternatives. Quit
thinking that you have to mak instead, make a choice and
don’t look back.
　　6. Give to get.
　　Emotional energy has a kin the more you give, the more
you get back. This is the difference between emotional and physical energy. With
the latter, you have to get it to be able to give it. With the former, however,
you get it by giving it.
　　Start by asking everyone you meet, “How are you?” as if you really want to
know, then listen to the reply. Be the one who hears. Most of us also need to
smile more often. If you don’t smile at the person you love first thing in the
morning, you’re sucking energy out of your relationship. Finally, help another
person—and make the help real, concrete. Give a massage (按摩) to someone you
love, or cook her dinner. Then, expand the circle to work. Try asking yourself
what you’d do if your goal were to be helpful rather than efficient.
　　After all, if it’s true that what goes around comes around, why not make
sure that what’s circulating around you is the good stuff?

　　Section A
　　Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are
required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a
word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before

through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than
　　Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.
　　The flood of women into the job market boosted economic growth and changed
U.S. society in many ways. Many in-home jobs that used to be done __47__ by
women—ranging from family shopping to preparing meals to doing __48__ work—still
need to be done by someone. Husbands and children now do some of these jobs, a
__49__ that has changed the target market for many products. Or a working woman
may face a crushing “poverty of time” and look for help elsewhere, creating
opportunities for producers of frozen meals, child care centers, dry cleaners,
financial services, and the like.
　　Although there is still a big wage __50__ between men and women, the income
working women __51__ gives them new independence and buying power. For example,
women now __52__ about half of all cars. Not long ago, many cars dealers __53__
women shoppers by ignoring them or suggesting that they come back with their
husbands. Now car companies have realized that women are __54__ customers. It’s
interesting that some leading Japanese car dealers were the first to __55__ pay
attention to women customers. In Japan, fewer women have jobs or buy cars—the
Japanese society is still very much male-oriented. Perhaps it was the __56__
contrast with Japanese society that prompted American firms to pay more
attention to women buyers.

　　Section B
　　Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed
by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four
choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark
the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the
　　Passage One
　　Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
　　Reaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water, which
is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
　　Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the
few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities
of Italy, France and Switzerland, where bottled water is consumed daily. Even
then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best. “My dog could
tell the difference between bottled and tap water,” He says.
　　But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact, New York’s
municipal water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water
and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste
and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the
Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that
were 400 times more expensive.
　　Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next
battle-ground for market share—this despite the fact that over 25 percent of
bottled water comes from tap water: PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani
are both purified tap water rather than spring water.
　　As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate
(垂涎) over the profits. A restaurant’s typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150
percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent. But since water
is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in
stores, most diners don’t notice or care.
　　As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled
water. According to an article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless
tactics include placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell,
listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without
even asking the diners if they want it.
　　Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our
desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for
lost purity.
　　注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

　　A) It is a kind of iced water.
　　B) It is just plain tap water.
　　C) It is a kind of bottled water.
　　D) It is a kind of mineral water.(C)
　　58. By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap
water” (Line 4 Para. 2), von Wiesenberger wants to convey the message that
　　A) plain tap water is certainly unfit for drinking
　　B) bottled water is clearly superior to tap water
　　C) bottled water often appeals more to dogs taste

　　59. The “fancier brands” (Line 3 Para. 5) refers to ________.

　　C) Most diners find bottled water affordable.
　　D) Bottled water satisfied diners’ desire to fashionable.(A)

　　A) It is much cheaper than wine.
　　B) It is considered healthier.
　　C) It appeals to more cultivated people.
　　D) It is more widely promoted in the market.(B)
　　Passage Two
　　As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting
from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our
many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to
exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further.
Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious
(有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work
every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most
nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal
blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He
may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this
person could be a lot healthier.
　　The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone
who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays
attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called
“well.” In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply
the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to
maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with
nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s
condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active
responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a
physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well,” in this new sense, if they make
an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their
physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that
people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are
well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it
strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of
wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the
challenges of daily life.
　　62. Today medical care is placing more stress on ________.
　　A) keeping people in a healthy physical condition
　　B) monitoring patients’ body functions
　　C) removing people’s bad living habits
　　D) ensuring people’s psychological well-being(C)
　　63. In the first paragraph, people are reminded that ________.
　　A) good health is more than not being ill
　　B) drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmful
　　C) regular health checks are essential to keeping fit
　　D) prevention is more difficult than cure(B)
　　64. Traditionally, a person is considered “well” if he ________.
　　A) does not have any unhealthy living habits
　　B) does not have any physical handicaps
　　C) is able to handle his daily routines
　　D) is free from any kind of disease(D)
　　65. According to the author, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people
　　A) to best satisfy their body’s special needs
　　B) to strive to maintain the best possible health
　　C) to meet the strictest standards of bodily health
　　D) to keep a proper balance between work and leisure(B)
　　66. According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups
of people would be considered healthy?
　　A) People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.
　　B) People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.
　　C) People who try to be as possible, regardless of their limitations.
　　D) People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical

established status is being challenged by a growing number of people, especially
by younger generations. It is increasingly difficult to cater for all
　　Some individuals deem that it should be canceled or replaced by other
programs. These young people focus their attention on other forms of celebration
instead of immersing themselves in TV. Despite that, the majority of mid-aged
people and senior citizens uphold the importance of the traditional performance.
The most striking feature of this gala is its traditionally close link with
ordinary people’s lives. Most of people view this gala as an annual staple on
the traditional Chinese Spring Festival Eve. They all have a restless night and
glue their eyes on the television.
　　I am not supportive of the view that the grand gala should be abandoned.
Undoubtedly, it plays a vital role in the celebration of Chinese New Year. To
increase its appeal and meet young adults’ need, the upcoming performance should
invite some big names including super stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan. We are
all eagerly anticipating this unforgettable evening show.

　　Passage One
　　Reducing the amount of sleep students get at night has a direct impact on
their performance at school during the day. According to classroom teachers,
elementary and middle school students who stay up late exhibit more learning and
attention problems. This has been shown by Brown Medical School and Bradley
Hospital research. In the study, teachers were not told the amount of sleep
students received when completing weekly performance reports, yet they rated the
students who had received eight hours or less as having the most trouble
recalling all the material, learning new lessons and completing high-quality
work. Teachers also reported that these students had more difficulty paying
attention. The experiment is the first to ask teachers to report on the effects
of sleep deficiency in children. Just staying up late can cause increased
academic difficulty and attention problems for otherwise healthy,
well-functioning kids, said Garharn Forlone, the study’s lead author. So the
results provide professionals and parents with a clear message: when a child is
having learning and attention problems, the issue of sleep has to be taken into
consideration. “If we don’t ask about sleep, and try to improve sleep patterns
in kids’ struggling academically, then we aren’t doing our job”, Forlone said.
For parents, he said, the message is simple, “getting kids to bed on time is as
important as getting them to school on time”.
　　26. What were teachers told to do in the experiment?
　　27. According to the experiment, what problem can insufficient sleep cause
in students?
　　28. What message did the researcher intend to convey to parents?
　　Passage Two
　　Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
　　Patricia Pania never wanted to be a public figure. All she wanted to be was
a mother and home-maker. But her life was turned upside down when a motorist,
distracted by his cell phone, ran a stop sign and crashed into the side of her
car. The impact killed her 2-year-old daughter. Four months later, Pania
reluctantly but courageously decided to try to educate the public and to fight
for laws to ban drivers from using cell phones while a car is moving. She wanted
to save other children from what happened to her daughter. In her first speech,
Pania got off to a shaky start. She was visibly trembling and her voice was soft
and uncertain. But as she got into her speech, a dramatic transformation took
place. She stopped shaking and spoke with a strong voice. For the rest of her
talk, she was a forceful and compelling speaker. She wanted everyone in the
audience to know what she knew without having to learn it from a personal
tragedy. Many in the audience were moved to tears and to action. In subsequent
presentations, Pania gained reputation as a highly effective speaker. Her
appearance on a talk show was broadcast three times, transmitting her message to
over 40 million people. Her campaign increased public awareness of the problem,
and prompted over 300 cities and several states to consider restrictions on cell
phone use.
　　29. What was the significant change in Patricia Pania’s life?
　　30. What had led to Pania’s personal tragedy?
　　31. How did Pania feel when she began her first speech?
　　32. What could be expected as a result of Pania’s efforts?
　　Passage Three
　　Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
　　Many people catch a cold in the spring time or fall. It makes us wonder if
scientists can send a man to the moon. Why can’t they find a cure for the common
cold? The answer is easy. There’re actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses
out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn’t a cure for each
one. When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it.
Blood rushes to your nose and causes a blockade in it. You feel terrible because
you can’t breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your
temperature rises and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the
virus. You also have a running nose to stop the virus from getting into your
cells. You may feel miserable, but actually your wonderful body is doing
everything it can to kill the cold. Different people have different remedies for
colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might
eat chicken soup to feel better. Some people take hot bath and drink warm
liquids. Other people take medicines to relieve various symptoms of colds. There
was one interesting thing to note. Some scientists say taking medicines when you
have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer, because your
body doesn’t develop a way to fight it and kill it.
　　33. According to the passage, why haven’t scientists found a cure for the
common cold?
　　34. What does the speaker say about the symptoms of the common cold?
　　35. What do some scientists say about taking medicines for the common cold,
according to the passage?
