It’s a dog-eat-dog world and in the UK there’s enough exhaustion around to make it look like an epidemic. Every year, a mountain of surveys and reports centers on stress---- the disease of the modern world.
November 6 was Britain’s fifth annual National Stress Awareness Day. In our “grab-it-all-now” culture, three out of every 10 workers in the UK suffer from depression, stress or burnout, according to a United Nations report.
Women suffer more than men. Today, says Herbert Freudenberger, author of “ Women’s Burnout and Burnout”. The High Cost of High Achievement, “ I’m seeing more women with symptoms of burnout . ”
Why is this? “ In part, I think this is due to the multi-role lives they now lead-as mothers, wives and professionals.” Equal opportunities for men and women in our society have given women double the responsibilities. They suffer from chronic fatigue trying to pursue careers while at the same time running their home. Some women blame their employer, their partner at housework, or themselves, but more than half accept that this is “just the way life is now.”
Not to be left out, women’s magazines haven’t hesitated to cash in on this. Good Housekeeping magazine has not been too shy to indulge in gloomy statistics, such as: More than half of the British women lie awake at night because of stress.
But it’s not only working mothers who suffer from burnout. Young unmarried professionals are also feeling the strain of increasingly competitive and globalized lifestyles.
Nicola Moule, 26, was a marketing consultant in London. She was hit by a rare illness and could not work for a year. Moule says it was caused by burnout. “ I think my subconscious was telling me that what I was doing didn’t suit me. I had been putting too much pressure on myself to be successful and trying to keep up with London life. You just get on with it.” But if “getting on with it” also means getting ill it could be that our very development heads to our downfall.
1). The passage is chiefly concerned with ________.
A.
dog-eat-dog world
B.
the role of women
C.
stress of modern life
D. the changing culture in modern world
满分：2 分
2). Why do women suffer from stress more than men?
A.

B.
Because women always try harder than men to pursue careers.
C.

此题选: D 满分：2 分

D. She tried her best to be successful and catch up with the pace of the modern society.

C.
People nowadays always fight against each other to get what they need.

A dream is made up of a series of mind-pictures that form during sleep. The people and actions in these pictures seem real to the person who is dreaming.
When a person is asleep, he has little or no control over his mind. Then ideas and feelings come out to form the mind picture known as dreams.
Dreams may be influenced by different things that are present during sleep. If a person is cold, he may dream that he is out in a snowstorm. Worries or anger may also influence the content of a dream..
Some people think that they seldom dream, and other people are quite sure that they do not dream at all. Studies of human sleep have shown, though, that everyone dreams every night. If a person thinks he does not dream, it is because he does not remember dreaming when he wakes up. Usually, a person may dream three to seven times for a total of one or two hours of dreaming every night.
Perhaps you are wondering just how research workers can be sure that a person is dreaming. The story behind the discovery is an interesting one.
During their research studies of human sleep, Dr Kleitman and his assistants noticed that a person sleeping made sudden eye movements. These eye movements occurred at least several times a night. When a sleeper was awakened during these periods of eye movement, it was learned that he had been dreaming. In most cases, the dreamer could then recall his dream. The person’s eye movements, scientists believe, were caused by the movements of his eyes as he followed the events of the dream.
Not only does everyone dream, but it seems that we all need to dream. One theory is that dreaming gives us a chance to escape from the rules of our real world. In dreams we can see our wishes come true. We can be rich, powerful, successful.
Another theory is that in our dream we are trying to work out our problems that have troubled us during waking moments.
Whatever the explanation, we all do dream, and dreaming is necessary and important to us.
1). According to the selection, the research studies of human sleep show that _________.
A.
few people do not dream at night
B.
some people dream three times every night while other people dream seven times every night

some people may dream all the time during sleep

I had a dream that night that was the beginning of a very strange time of suffering.
I cannot call it a nightmare, for I was quite conscious of being asleep. But I was equally conscious of being in my room and lying in bed, just as I actually was. I saw, or imagined I saw, the room and its furniture just as I has seen it last, except that it was very dark. I saw something moving round the foot of the bed. At first I could not see it clearly enough to recognize it, but then it took shape as a black animal, rather like a monstrous cat. It appeared to me about four or five feet long, for it measured fully the length of a small carpet as it passed over it. It continued moving to and fro with the eager restlessness of an animal in a cage.
I could not cry out although, as you may suppose, I was terrified. The creature’s pace was growing faster. The room was getting rapidly darker and darker. At last it was so dark that I could only see the animal’s eyes. I felt it spring lightly on the bed. The two broad eyes approached my face; and suddenly I felt a sharp pain as if two large needles, an inch or two apart, had entered my breast. I woke with a scream.
The room was lit by the candle that burnt there all through the night. I was a female figure standing at the foot of the bed and a little to the right side. It was in a dark, loose dress, and its hair was down and covered the shoulders. A block of stone could not have stood more still. There was not the smallest movement of its breathing. As I stared at it, the figure seemed to have changed its place. It was now nearer the door; then, close to it, the door opened, and the figure passed out.
I was now able to breathe more freely and move. My first thought was that I had forgotten to lock my door and someone had played a trick on me. I got up quickly, went to the door, found it locked as usual on the inside. I was afraid to open it. I was horrified. I sprang into my bed and covered my head up in the bedclothes and lay there more dead than alive till morning.
1). It wasn’t exactly a nightmare because________.
A.
she slept all through it.
B.
she knew she was in bed in her own room
C.
she actually felt the pain of those needles

3). At last only the animal’s eyes could be seen because ________.

the rest of the room had grown so dark
B.
the creature’s pace had grown so fast

the dream was coming to an end

The family is changing. In the past, grandparents, parents and children used to live together; in other words, they had an “extended family”. Sometimes two or more brothers with their wives and children were part of this large family group. But family structure is changing throughout the world. The “nuclear family” consists of only one father, one mother and children; it is becoming the main family structure everywhere.
The nuclear family offers married women some advantages: they have freedom from their relatives, and the husband does not have all the power of the family. Family structure in most parts of the world is still “patriarchal”; that is, the father is the head of the family and makes most of the important decisions. Studies show, however, that in nuclear families, men and women usually make an equal number of decisions about family life. Also, well-educated husbands and wives often prefer to share the power.
But wives usually have to “pay” for the benefits of freedom and power. When women lived in extended families, sisters, grandmothers and aunts helped one another with housework and child care. In addition, older women in a large family group had important positions. Wives in nuclear families do not enjoy this benefit, and they have another disadvantage, too. Women generally live longer than their husbands, so older women from nuclear families often have to live alone.
Studies show that women are generally less satisfied with marriage than men are. In the past, men worked outside the home and women inside. Housework and child care were a full-time job, and there was no time for anything else. Of course, this situation is changing. Women now work outside the home and seem to have more freedom than they did in the past. Why, then, are some women still discontent?
In most parts of the world today, women work because the family needs more money. However, their outside jobs often give them less freedom, not more, because they still have to do most of the housework. The women actually have two full-time jobs---one outside the home and another inside--- and not much free time.
The nuclear family will probably continue to be the main family form of the future. Change, however, usually brings disadvantages along with benefits, and the family forms of the past had many advantages.
