As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning to night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a natural part of every life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed 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 signs 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 choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are not likely 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 becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (and it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.
Question 34: According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his A. knowing the art of relaxation	B. having control over performance
C. high sense of responsibility	D. not fearing stress
Question 35: In the last sentence of the passage, "do so" refers to	.
A. remove stress from our lives	B. establish links between diseases and stress
C. expose ourselves to stress	D. find ways to deal with stress
Question 36: Which of the following statements is true?
Different people can withstand different amount of stress
We can find some ways to avoid stress
C. Stress is always harmful to people
D. It's easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work 
Question 37: In paragraph 3, "such a reaction" refers back to	.
reaction to stress both chemically and physically
losing heart at die signs of difficulties
C. making a choice between "fight" or "flight"
D. responding to crises quickly
Question 38: People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because	.
they do not believe that relaxation is important for health
they are becoming busier their work
C. they are travelling fast all the time
D. they do not know how to enjoy themselves
Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The sculptural legacy that the new United States inherited from its colonial predecessors was far from a rich one, and in fact, in 1776 sculpture as an art form was still in the hand of artisans and craftspeople. Stone carvers engraved their motifs of skulls and crossbones and other religious icons of death into the gray slabs that we still see standing today in old burial grounds. Some skilled craftspeople made intricately carved wooden ornamentations for furniture or architectural decorations, while others carved wooden shop signs and ships' figureheads. Although they often achieved expression and formal excellence in their generally primitive style, they remained artisans skilled in the craft of carving and constituted a group distinct from what we normally think of as "sculptors" in today's use of the word.
On the rare occasion when a fine piece of sculpture was desired, Americans turned to foreign sculptors, as in the 1770's when the cities of New York and Charleston, South Carolina, commissioned the Englishman Joseph Wilton to make marble statues of William Pitt. Wilton also made a lead equestrian image of King George III that was created in New York in 1770 and torn down by zealous patriots six years later. A few marble memorials with carved busts, urns, or other decorations were produced in England and brought to the colonies to be set in the walls of churches - as in King's Chapel in Boston. But sculpture as a high art, practiced by artists who knew both the artistic theory of their Renaissance Baroque-Rococo predecessors and the various technical procedures of modeling, casting, and carving rich three- dimensional forms, was not known among Americans in 1776. Indeed, for many years thereafter, the United States had two groups from which to choose - either the local craftspeople or the imported talent of European sculptors.
The eighteenth century was not one in which powered sculptural conceptions were developed. Add to this the timidity with which unschooled artisans - originally trained as stonemasons, carpenters, or cabinetmakers - attacked the medium from which their sculptures were made in the United States in the late eighteenth century.
Question 39: The word "commissioned" in paragraph 2 refers to	.
A. enabled	B. conferred	C. allowed	D. empowered
Question 40: The phrase "turned to" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to	.
A. censored	B. consulted	C. hired	D. castigated
Question 41: It is stated in the first paragraph that the sculptural legacy that the new United States had from colonial times was	.
A. not countable 	B. plentiful	C. not great	D. very rich
Question 42: What is the main idea of the passage?
American sculptors were hampered by a lack of tools and materials.
Many foreign sculptors worked in the US after 1776.
C. Skilled sculptors did not exist in the US in the 1770's.
D. There was a great demand for the work of eighteenth-century artisans.
Question 43: The work of which of the following could be seen in burial ground?
A. carpenters 	B. cabinetmakers 	C. stone carves 	D. European sculptors 
Question 44: The word “they” in the passage refers to	.
A. skilled craftspeople	B. architectural decorations
C. wooden shop signs	D. wooden ornamentations
Question 45: What can be inferred about the importation of marble memorials from England?
A. Such sculpture was as prestigious as those made locally.
B. Such sculpture was not available in the US.
C. The materials found abroad were superior.
D. Such sculpture was expensive to produce locally than to import.

B. As soon as came back from Japan, I applied for this company.
C. I haven't come back Japan since I started working in this company.
D. When I worked in this company, I started coming back from Japan.
