Women are a force that is changing in Australian
society. The pride of place given to women as almost the 62
sole shapers of Australian history is being challenged.
Today husbands more often than not share household
chores and more men are finding women alongside them in
the workplace. It may be some time after there is a woman 63
prime minister of Australia, but the need of women at the 64
top-and their right to be there-is now widely recognized.
The growing role of women in the Australian work force
is both a cause and a consequence of change attitudes and 65
lifestyles in Australian society.
In offices, laboratories and factories, in social and
political organizations, women are making their presence
feel.There are few remaining legal barriers against women 66
in Australia in jobs, commercial contracts, politics and
social life. The barriers that exist mainly stem from modern 67
attitudes built into society and are easily changed by new laws. 68
Women have brought about the most significant change
in the Australian work force simply by entering it in
thousands, and by seeking which before were assumed to be 69
suitable for men only. There are now women in Australia

This may come as a surprise, but you need stress in your life. Leading stress management experts say that life without stress would be dull and unexciting. Stress adds flavor, challenge, and opportunity to life. However, too much stress can seriously affect your physical and mental well-being. A major challenge in today's stress-filled world is to make the stress in your life work for you instead of against you.
In today's hectic, fast-paced world and with the booming economy, stress is our constant companion. It comes from mental or emotional activity and physical activity. Too much emotional stress can result in physical illness, such as high blood pressure, ulcers, asthma, irritable colon, headaches, or even heart disease. On the other hand, physical stress from work or exercise rarely causes such ailments. In fact, physical exercise can help you to relax and to handle your mental or emotional stress.
Hans Selye, M.D., a recognized expert in the field, has defined stress as a "non-specific response of the body to a demand". The key to reducing stress is learning how our bodies respond to those demands. When stress becomes prolonged or particularly frustrating, it can become harmful-causing distress or "bad stress". Recognizing the early signs of distress and then doing something about them can make a significant difference in the quality of your life.
In order to use stress in a positive way and prevent it from becoming distress, you should be aware of your own reactions to stressful events. The body responds to stress by going through specific stages: (1) alarm, (2) resistance, and (3) exhaustion. Muscles tense, blood pressure and heart rate rise, and adrenaline and other stress-triggered hormones that increase the level of alertness are released. If the stress-causing conditions continue, your body will need time to make repairs, if that happens, you eventually may develop a physical problem that is related to stress, such as migraine headaches, high blood pressure, backaches, or insomnia. That's why when stress occurs it's important that you recognize and deal with it in a positive way.While it's impossible to live completely free of stress and distress, it is possible to prevent some distress as well as to minimize its impact when it can't be avoided. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to handle stress.
Try Physical Activity
When you're nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you relax. Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.
Share Your Stress
It helps to talk with someone about your anxieties and worries. Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher, or counselor can help you achieve a more positive perspective on what's troubling you. If you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist, psychiatrist or social worker. Knowing when to ask for help is a positive step in avoiding more serious problems later.
Take Care of Yourself
You should make every effort to eat well and to get enough rest. If you're irritable and tense from lack of sleep, or if you're not eating properly, you'll be more vulnerable to stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult your doctor.
Make Time for Yourself
Schedule time for both work and recreation. Don't forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.
Make a List of the Things You Need to Do
Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that "there's so much to do, and not enough time". Trying to take care of everything at once can be overwhelming, and as a result, you may not accomplish anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Give priority to the most important tasks and do those first.
Go Ahead and Cry
A good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety. It might even help you avoid a headache or other physical consequence of anxiety and stress.
Create a Quiet Scene
You can't always run away, but you can allow yourself a mental "get-away". A quiet country scene painted mentally, or on canvas, can transport you from the tension of a stressful situation to a more relaxing frame of mind. You also can create a sense of peace and tranquility by reading a good book or listening to beautiful music.
Avoid Self-Medication
While you can use prescription or over-the-counter medications to relieve stress temporarily, they do not remove the conditions that caused the stress in the first place. In fact, many medications may be habit-forming and also may reduce your efficiency, thus creating more stress than they eliminate. They should be taken only on the advice of your doctor.
Relax
The best strategy for reducing or avoiding stress altogether is to learn how to relax. Unfortunately, many people try to relax at the same pace that they lead the rest of their lives. That doesn't work. Instead, try tuning out your worries about time, productivity and "doing right". Here are several relaxation techniques you may find helpful:
-You should take a deep breath and exhale to help calm your mind, counter your body's natural stress reaction and improve your response.
-You should laugh. Many stress management experts advocate laughter as a relaxation technique for relieving tension.
-You should take a warm bath or shower. Whether you prefer bubble baths or long hot showers, this is an excellent way to relax after a stressful day.
-You should try progressive muscle relaxation. Individual contract and relax each muscle group of your body. Begin by tensing your toes for 10 seconds, then relax them for 20. Work all the way up your body, alternately tensing and relaxing, and finish with your facial muscles.
By learning the "art" of relaxation, you'll find satisfaction in just "being", without trying or striving. Your focus on relaxation, enjoyment and health will reduce stress, anxiety and worry in your life. The result is, you will be calmer, healthier and happier.

Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section,there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements.Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words on Answer Sheet 2.
Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
There is no doubt that adults, and even highly educated adults, vary greatly in the speed and efficiency of their reading. Some proceed very slowly throughout; others dash along too quickly and then have to reread. Poor readers, in particular, may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading it. A good reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter. He may be able to skim a page, picking up a word or two here and there, and gain a general idea of the whole of it before proceeding more slowly. But even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words and passages, perhaps rereading them several times, and passing more quickly over the remainder. A less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever material he reads. Consequently even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly. But his pace may be too fast for really difficult material, which requires special concentration at difficult points.
A type of reading which necessitates careful attention to detail is proofreading, in which the reader, in order to detect misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the text. This is extremely difficult for most people, since they are accustomed to overlooking such details. In fact, considerable practice is required to perform this task efficiently, and it can be done only by reading very slowly, paying comparatively little attention to the general meaning of the text.
47. What is a good reader?
48. There are differences in reading speed among .
49. is the focus of proofreading.
50. How does a less efficient reader tend to read?
51. What is the passage mainly about?
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 centre.
Passage One
Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.
Every day from the time we wake up until the time we go to bed, we are bombarded with information from all sides, from TV, radio, newspapers and books; from family, friends, and colleagues. As a new cable television subscriber, I am absolutely amazed at the quantity and varying levels of information quality on cable television. Including the networks, there are eight TV "news" organizations vying to provide us with all the information we can possibly absorb. Newspaper, magazines, books, radio, the Internet, email, snail mail, and the telephone all compete for our attention and our minds. At the office conversations around the water cooler and coffee maker serve to spread even more items of information.
There is valuable information out there about the world we live in, on topics as varied as health, safety, traffic, nutrition, business, finance, philosophy, nature, science, weather, history and the human condition. There is also a large amount of misleading and outright false information, not just on controversial subjects such as politics and religion but on any topic one can think of, including all of the topics mentioned above.
With all this information coming at us from all directions, how does one sift through it all to sort out the facts from the fiction, the truth from the lies, the more important from the less important? Should we turn off the TV, cancel our newspaper subscriptions, disconnect our phones and modems to become information "hermits"? Probably not.
A better method of sifting through the information wave without being overwhelmed and confused is to become a skeptical inquirer-or skeptic-with regard to the surrounding world. By "skeptic"-I do not mean a cynic-a person who rejects new ideas simply because they are new. A skeptic is one who questions the validity of a particular claim by calling for evidence to prove or disprove it. Skepticism is a method, not a position. It is a provisional approach to all factual claims. In terms of processing information, a skeptic needs to be able to grasp reality and acquire knowledge about the environment that agrees with reason, logic, and evidence. In other words, as skeptics, when we hear a claim that may or may not be fantastic, we should say, "That's nice, prove it."
52. According to the passage, casual conversations at work provide .
A) all the latest news B) many useful facts
C) only trivial personal gossip D) more items of information
53． The writer implies that if we want to make some judgments about some information, the first thing that we should do is to .
A) ask for the information B) cut off all channels of information
C） receive and go through the information D) become information "hermits"
54. What does the author say is the more reasonable approach to processing the information wave?
A) A skeptical approach. B) A subjective approach.
C) A cynical approach. D) A philosophical approach.
55. What can we conclude from the difference between a skeptic and a cynic?
A) Skeptics are reasonable but cynics are too optimistic.
B) Skeptics are reasonable but cynics are too pessimistic.
C) Skeptics take a position but cynics are extreme in their attitude.
D) Skeptics reject all new ideas but cynics only reject some of them.
56. When faced with an incredible or fantastic claim, what shall we do according to the author?
A) Ask questions and look for proof. B) Ignore the information and its source.
C) Change the subject immediately. D) Try to consult an expert who knows the truth.
Passage Two
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
"Self-Reliance," by Ralph Waldo Emerson, has influenced the way I view the world and myself. This work has had a profound effect on me. It concentrates on the powers of positive thinking and careful decision-making. I believe that decision-making is one of the most important aspects of life. Since my thoughts and viewpoints will carry me throughout life, it is important that I should be confident in the decisions I will make and the viewpoints I will possess."Self-Reliance"has made it evident to me that in order to obtain the best results from my decisions I have to trust in myself.
Through reading this work I learned that the only way I can accomplish my goals and prevail in this world is to be confident in myself. Emerson said, "To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men that is genius." I realize that in the future I will interact with many different people who will disagree with my views. Therefore, I have to be confident in myself in order to accept criticism and remain focused on my goals. With self-assurance I will be able to view the world realistically and overcome any disappointments.
"Self-Reliance"also influences the way I view myself. I have come to the realization that ultimately I can only depend on myself in many situations. "None but he knows what he can do, nor does he know until he has tried."I also realize that I will make mistakes but I will learn from them. However, I must not dwell on past mistakes. Instead, I should focus on confidence for future decisions. I learned that I am the key to my success. My success will depend on my persistence, intelligence and self-assurance.
Emerson has helped to elevate my confidence. I now have the ability to trust my own judgment. I do not worry about what others think of my views. I have learned to voice my opinions with confidence and clarity. Also, I should learn from and accept criticism without choosing the alternative, abandoning my views and relying on the views of others. "Your genuine action will explain your other genuine actions. Your conformity explains nothing." I am now able to confront my future.
"Self-Reliance" has influenced the way I view the world and myself. After much thought, I have found strength and confidence in myself and I hope to utilize these qualities in making wise decisions in the future.
