Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However, crying is a fact of life, and tears are very useful. Even when you're not crying, your eyes produce tears. These create a film over the eye's surface. This film contains a substance that protects your eyes against infection.
Tears relieve stress, but we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. "People worry about showing their emotions. They're afraid that once they lose control, they'll never get it back."
explains psychologist Dorothy Rowe. "As children we were sometimes punished for shedding tears or expressing anger. As *** s we still fear the consequences of showing emotions."
Almost any emotion--good or bad, happy or sad--can cause tears. Crying is a way that we release built-up emotions. Tears help you when you feel you are ready to explode because of very strong feelings. It may explain why people who are afraid to cry often suffer more heart attacks than people who cry more freely.
When some people become very stressed, however, they can't cry. They may be feeling shock,angel fear, or grief, but they repress (抑制) the emotion. "Everyone has the need to cry," says psychotherapist(精神治疗师)Vera Diamond. Sometimes in therapy sessions, patients participate in crying exercises. They practice crying so that they can get used to expressing emotion. Diamond says it's best to cry in safe, private places, like under the bedcovers or in the car. That's because many people get uncomfortable when others cry in front of them. In fact, they may be repressing
their own need to cry.
In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It's good to hold back tears during a tense business discussion. "But once you are safely behind closed doors, don't just cry,"Diamond says. She suggests that you act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. "And, "she adds," once our tears have released the stress, you can begin to think of logical ways to deal problem."
Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. You should never be afraid to cry.

American Sports
The United States is a sports-loving nation. Sports in America take a variety of forms:organized competitive struggles, which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory;athletic games, played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found; and hunting and fishing.
Most sports are seasonal, so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year. Some sports are called spectator sports, as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game.
Baseball is the most popular sport in the US. It is played throughout the spring and summer,and professional baseball teams play well into the fall. Although no other game is exactly like baseball, perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket.
Football is the most popular sport in the fall. The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago. It is still played by almost every college and university in the country, and the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000 people. The game is not the same as European football or soccer. In American football there are 11 players on each team,and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.
Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges. Like football, basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries. Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game. It is a very popular game with high schools, and in more than 20 states, state-wide high school matches are held yearly.
Other spectator sports include wrestling, boxing, and horse racing. Although horse-racing fans call themselves sport *** en, the accuracy of the term is questionable, as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes. The so-called sport *** en are the spectators, who do "not assemble" primarily to see the horses race, but to bet upon the outcome of each race.
Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.
1.Hunting and fishing are mainly favored by men, young and old, in the US.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
2.Professional baseball teams can continue to play for a long period of time in the fall after the regular baseball seasons of spring and summer.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
3.Baseball shares many features with the English game of cricket.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
4.Football can be classified as a spectator sport.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
5.Many Americans like basketball better than football because the latter is so harsh that players have to wear special uniforms.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
6.Basketball in American is so popular with universities that nationwide university matches are held yearly.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
7.Horse-racing fans cannot be considered sport *** en because they are spectators whose primary interest is gambling.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
答案解析:
1.C。题干:打猎和钓鱼主要受到美国男人、年轻人和老人的喜爱。题干中的核心结构huntingand fishing和并列结构men,young and old可作为答案线索,可发现答案相关句为首段第二句,但并没有提到men,young and old,所以选择C。
2.A。题干:职业棒球队在春天和夏天的赛季之后还可以继续在秋天打很长时间的球。题干中的关键词Professional baseball teams和the regular baseball seasons of spring and summer可作为答案线索,发现答案相关句为第二段首句。该句句意与问题句一致,该题主要是考查well into the fall(一直到秋季末)结构的含义。
3.A。题干:棒球和英国的板球有很多共同之处。利用题干中的线索词baseball和cricket寻找答案相关句:可以发现第二段第二句为相关句。该句的句意为“与棒球运动最接近的就是英国的板球”,与题干的.句意一致,选择A。
4.A。题干:足球是一种观赏类体育项目。利用题干中的关键词football和spectator sport找到答案相关句:之一段最后一句。该题考查考生的推断能力:既然更大的足球体育馆能容纳80 000名观众,那么根据spectator sports(观赏性运动)的定义,足球应该是spectator sports。
5.B。题干:与橄榄球相比,许多美国人更喜欢篮球,因为橄榄球比较激烈而且还要穿特殊的服装。将题干中的关键词basketball和football作为答案线索找到答案相关句:在第四段,可知美国人喜欢篮球是因为在冬天也可以玩,而且是速度类项目。题干句的说法与该相关句的说法不一致,故选B。
6.A。题干:美国的篮球在大学很流行,全国的大学每年都举办比赛。利用题干中的关键词Basketball进行定位,发现相关内容在第四段最后一句,故答案为A。
7.A。题干:赛马迷们不被认为是运动员,因为他们是观众,而且首要兴趣是赌博。将题干中的horse.racing fans作为答案线索找到相关句:题干在文章末段。根据相关句群的句意(赛马比赛的吸引人之处是赌博,赛马迷只是对赌博感兴趣),可知题干的说法与这些相关句的说法一致,故选A。
职称英语卫生C级阅读判断及答案
Teaching Math, Teaching Anxiety
In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school, the psychologists at the
University of Chicagol1 Sian Beilock and Susan Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn:If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills, then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math.
"If these girls keep getting math-anxious female teachers2 in later grades, it may create a snowball effect on their math achievement3 said Levine. In other words,girls may end up learning math anxiety from their teachers4. The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are,then these girls may not do as well as they would have if
they were more confident.
Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult, teachers can find certain subjects to be
difficult to learn -- and teach. The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone.
Researchers use the word "anxiety" to describe such feelings: anxiety is uneasiness or worry.
The new study found that when a teacher has anxiety about math, that feeling can influence
how her female students feel about math. The study involved 65 girls,52 boys and 17 first- and
second-grade teachers in elementary schools in the Midwest. The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year, and the researchers compared the scores.
The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed that a math superstar had to be a boy. Then the researchers turned to the teachers:To find out which teachers were anxious about math,the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math, such as when reading a sales receipt5. A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt, for example,was probably anxious about math.
Boys,on average,were unaffected by a teacher's anxiety. On average,girls with math-anxious
teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the study did.Plus,on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy,20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at math -- and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety.
"This is an interesting study,but the results need to be interpreted as preliminary and in need
of replication with a larger sample6," said David Geary,a psychologist at the University of Missouri7 in Columbia.
词汇甘肃省职称英语答案:
snowball /'snub:l/雪球;滚雪球式增长的事 replication/repli'kein/ n .重复,复现
superstar/'sju:psta:/ n.超级明星
练习:
1. University of Chicago:芝加哥大学。位于美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥市,是世界一流的私立大学,创建于1891 年。
2. keep getting math-anxious female teachers:一直由对数学有焦虑感的女教师教授数学。此处getting是having的意思,math-anxious指的是上文中提到的对数学没有自信的心理状态。另见第三段最后一句对anxiety的解释。
3. snowball effect on their math achievement:在数学成就上的雪球效应。其含义是:在数学上越来越没有信心。
4. end up learning math anxiety from their teachers:最后从老师那里获得的是对数学的焦虑。End up doing something:最终会做某事
5. sales receipt:销售清单
6. in need of replication with a larger sample:需要用更大的调查样本进行重复验证。replication
在量化实证研究中的意思是“重复(实验)”。
7. the University of Missouri:密苏里大学。位于密苏里州,是美国一所公立研究型大学,创建于1839年。
练习:
1. What is the result of the research at the University of Chicago,according to the first paragraph?
A Girls comfortable with their own math skills are better than boys at math.
B Girls uncomfortable with their own math skills are not as good as boys at math.
C Female teachers' math skills have influence over girl students' math skills.
D Female teachers' confidence in their math skills is related to girl's math skills.
2. What is implied in the third paragraph?
A Math teachers,like math learners,do not like the subject due to its difficulty.
B A difficult subject like math may affect teachers' confidence in teaching the subject.
C Teachers are more anxious teaching math than their students learning math.
D Math is so difficult that no teachers like to teach it.
3. According to the experiment,those teachers were probably anxious about math when they felt
A nervous memorizing the numbers of a sales receipt.
B helpless saving the numbers of a sales receipt.
C uneasy reading the numbers of a sales receipt.
D hopeless filling in the numbers of a sales report.
4. The sixth paragraph tells us that the research findings
A prove a strong link between female teachers' math anxiety and their female students' math
achievements.
B show that male students are less likely to be affected by their math anxiety than female
students.
C provide strong evidence that math superstars are more likely to be males than females.
D discover a strong link between teachers' math anxiety and their students' math achievements.
5. David Geary thinks that
A the study is interesting but it is based on unreliable research process.
B the research results need to be retested based on a larger sample.
C the research results need to be reinterpreted to be meaningful.
D the study is well based and produces significant results.
答案与题解:
1.D 该段告诉甘肃省职称英语答案我们女教师的想法(what female teachers think)和女学生的学习(what female
students learn)之间有很大的关联度,也就是说,女教师如果对自己的数学技能没有自信,她的女学生很可能相信男孩子会在数学方面超过女孩子。
2.B 第三段的大意是,数学对任何人来说都可能有难度(The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone),如同学生,教师也会觉得数学难学和难教,这就是研究者所言的焦虑。所以,可以推断,作者是要告诉我们,教师会因为数学这门学科的难度而对教授该课程不自信。其他选项都不是该段所要表达的`内容。
3.C 第五段第三句“To find out which teachers were anxious about math, the researchers asked
the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math,such as when reading a sales
receipt”指出甘肃省职称英语答案了答案。memorizing the numbers;意为“记住数字”;saving the numbers意为“保存数字”;filling in the numbers意为“陆续编入数字”,而且文中没有提到a sales report;它们均不是答案。
4.A 短文的第六段是对前一段所述调查数据结果的讨论,即,男学生较少受对数学有焦虑感的教师影响,而那些数学成绩较低的女生都有对数学有焦虑感的教师(girls with math-anxious
teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests),而且,所有认为男生数学肯定比女生强的女生,其数学教师都是有数学焦虑感的女教师(all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety. )。D所以不是正确的选择,因为只提到teachers 和students,而不是female teachers 和female students。
5.B 根据David Geary的说法,实验结果还是初步的(preliminary),需要更大的样本对其进行重复验证(in need of replication with a larger sample)。他没有认为该实验的过程不可靠,所以A不是正确选项;他认为实验样本不够大,所以D也不是正确选项。

Bill Gates: Unleashing YourCreativity
I’ve always been an optimist and I suppose it isrooted in1 my belief that the power of creativity and intelligencecan make the world a better place.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved learningnew things and solving problems. So when I sat down at a computer for the firsttime in seventh grade, I was hooked. It was a clunky old teletype machine andit could barely do anything compared to the computers we have today.2But it changed my life.
When my friend Paul Allen and I started Microsoft30 years ago,we had avision of “a computer on every desk and in every home”, which probably soundeda little too optimistic at a time when most computers were the size ofrefrigerators. But we believed that personal computers would change the world.And they have.
And after 30 years, I’m still as inspired bycomputers as I was back in seventh grade.
I believe that computers are the most incredibletool we can use to feed our curiosity and inventiveness — to help us solve problemsthat even the *** artest people couldn’t solve on their own.
Computers have transformed how we learn,giving kids everywhere a windowinto all of the world’s knowledge. They’re helping us build communities aroundthe things we care about and to stay close to the people who are important tous, no matter where they are.3
Like my friend Warren Buffett, I feel particularlylucky to do something every day that I love to do. He calls it “tap-dancing towork”4. My job at Microsoft is as challenging as ever, but whatmakes me “tap-dancing to work” is when we show people something new, like acomputer that can recognize your handwriting or your speech, or one that canstore a lifetime’s worth of photos, and they say, “I didn’t know you could dothat with a PC5! ”
But for all the cool things that a person can dowith a PC,there arelots of other ways we can put our creativity and intelligence to work toimprove our world6. There are still far too many people in the worldwhose most basic needs go unmet7. Every year, for example, millionsof people die from diseases that are easy to prevent or treat in the developedworld.
I believe that my own good fortune brings with ita responsibility to give back to the world. My wife, Melinda, and I havecommitted to8 improving health and education in a way that can helpas many people as possible.
As a father, I believe that the death of a childin Africa is no less poignant or tragic than9 the death of a childanywhere else, and that it doesn’t take much to make an immense difference inthese children’s lives10.
I’m still very much an optimist, and I believethat progress on even the world’s toughest problems is possible — and it’shappening every day. We’re seeing new drugs for deadly diseases, new diagnostictools,and newattention paid to the health problems in the developing world.
I’m excited by the possibilities I see formedicine, for education and, of course, for technology. And I believe thatthrough our natural inventiveness, creativity and willingness to solve toughproblems, we're going to make some amazing achievements in all these areas inmy lifetime.

3.They’re helping us buildcommunities around the things we care about and to stay close to the people whoare important to us, no matter where they are.电脑帮助我们就我们所关心的事情建立一个交流的场所,并且与那些我们认为对我们有重要意义的人密切相处,不管他们身在何处。care about指不管喜欢或不喜欢的事情都很关心、介意、在乎、计较。
4.“tap-dancing to work”:“跳着踢踏舞工作”。tap原意是“叩击、轻敲”;tap dance是“踢踏舞”。这里实际意思是“(手指)轻轻敲击键盘的工作”。
5.PC (personal computer):个人计算机
6.But for all the cool things that aperson can do with a PC, there are lots of other ways we can put our creativityand intelligence to work to improve our world.除了我们能用计算机做的所有神奇的事情,还有很多其他方式发挥我们的创造力和智慧,从而使世界更加美好。

The Magic Io Personal Digital Pen
1 Check out the io Personal Digital Pen launched by Logitech:It’s a magic pen that can store everything you write and transfer it to your computer. And you don’t have to lug a hand-held device along with you for it to work.1
2 Logitech’s technology works like this:The pen writes normally, using normal ballpoint pen ink2. But while you are writing, a tiny camera inside the pen is also taking 100 snapshots per second of what you are doing3, mapping your writing via a patchwork of minute dots printed on the paper. All this information—the movement of your pen on the paper, basically — is then stored digitally inside the pen, whether you are writing notes or drawing complex diagrams. You can store up to 40 pages worth of doodles in the pen’s memory. As far as you are concerned4, you are just using a normal pen.
3 It is only when you drop the pen into its PC-connected cradle that the fun begins. Special software on your PC will figure out what you have done, and begin to download any documents you have written since the last time it was there. Depending on whether you have ticked certain boxes on the special notepad, it can also tell whether the document is destined to be an e-mail, a “to do” task, or a diagram to be ed into a word-processing document. Once the documents are downloaded you can view them, print them out or convert them to other formats.
4 The io Personal Digital Pen is a neat and simple solution to the problem of storing, sharing and retrieving handwritten notes, as well as for handling diagrams, pictures and other non-text doodling. You don’t have to carry a laptop along with you. All you have to do is just whip out the pen and the special paper and you are off5.
5 It is a great product because it does not force you to work differently—walking around with a screen strapped to your arm, or carrying with you extra bits and pieces. The pen is light and works like a normal pen if you need it to, while the special notepads look and feel like notepads. The only strange looks will be from people who are curious why you are writing with a cigar.
6 The io Personal Digital Pen also has potential elsewhere. FedEx6, for example, is introducing a version of the pen so that customers can fill out forms by hand — instead of punching letters into cumbersome devices. Once that data is digital more or less anything can be done with it — transferring it wirelessly to a central computer, for example, or via a hand-phone. Doctors could tran *** it their prescriptions direct to pharmacies, reducing fraud; policemen could send their reports back to the station, reducing paperwork.

答案与题解:
1.F 第二段介绍神奇笔的工作原理。笔内装有一个摄像头,把写的字或画的图转换为数码,存储在笔内的记忆装置里。
2.B 第三段介绍把神奇笔存储的信息下载到电脑中的过程,其中很重要的一个设备是将笔与电脑相连接的cradle(笔座)。
3.A 第五段介绍神奇笔的优越性,使用的方式和使用普通笔一样,不用携带显示屏,不用带附件。所以,这段的内容可以概括为A friendly and convenient device。
4.C 最后一段列举了有可能使用神奇笔的其他地方。
5.D 文章中多处都提到the io Personal Digital Pen用起来很方便,普通的笔怎么用,the io Personal Digital Pen也怎么用。因此,it works like an ordinary pen是答案。
6.E download和使用cradle的内容可在第三段之一句、第二句中找到。
7.A 题干中的convenient和when you work away from home or office提示我们要选A。第五段之一句说,外出时不用携带显示屏或附件。
8.F 第二段第三句是选F的依据。
译文:神奇的io私人数字笔
仔细看看由Logitech公司发明的io私人数字笔吧。这是一种神奇的笔。可以将你写的所有东西储存下来并转换到计算机上,而你在使用这种数字笔时却不必携带手持设备。
Logitech技术的工作原理如下:这种笔使用一种普通的圆珠笔墨水,和平常一样写字。但是当你写字时,笔内的一个极小的摄像头也在以每秒钟100张的速度对你所写的内容进行快速拍摄,通过印在纸上的'小点块拼出你所写的内容。然后,无论你是记笔记还是画复杂图表,所以的信息——基本上都是笔在纸上的移动——都将以数字形式存储于笔中。你可在笔的存储器中存储多达40页的资料。而对你来说,你只不过是在使用一支普通的笔而已。
只有当你将笔插入与PC机连接的笔座中时,有趣的事才真正开始。你的PC机的专用软件会估算出你所做之事,并下载你最新写下的所有文件。根据你是否在专用记事本的一些特定框里打对号,这种笔还可以辨别出文档是电子邮件、“待执行”人物还是要插入文字处理文档的图表。文档下载后,你就可以查看、打印或将其转换为其他形式。
io私人数字笔可妥善又简单地解决手写笔记的存储、共享和检索问题,也可处理图表、图片以及其他非文本资料。你不必携带电脑,你只需要拿出笔和专门用纸就能开始工作了。
这是一种很了不起的产品,因为你的工作不会因之产生任何麻烦——你不必携带显示屏,也不必携带任何附件。它非常轻便,如果你需要的话,也可以当普通笔来用,而这种专用记事本看起来摸起来都很像普通记事本。有些人会很好奇,不明白为什么你在用雪茄写字,这是唯一看起来令人费解的地方。
io私人数字笔在其他方面也很有潜力。例如,联邦快递公司正引进一种数字笔,从而用户可用手填写表格,而无需再费力劳神地打进机器中。如果数字为数字型,几乎所有事情都可由这种笔来完成——例如将数据通过无线方式或手机传输到中心计算机上。医生可将处方直接转到药房,减少了欺诈行为的发生。警察可将报告发回警察局,减少了文书工作。
