How to Make Use of the Power of Work Stress
What should you say when you are under work pressure, “stressed out and frantic” or “challenged and energized”? There’s very little physiological difference between the two, says a growing number of experts who think that work stress is positive. These experts believe that stress can strengthen you or tear you down. In most situations, you can choose. Here are some ways to do better under pressure.
Give stress a good name
Why resent work stress----it shows that your work is improving. Think of a heavy work as chance to push yourself and learn new skills. Tell yourself, “This is a challenge I am able to deal with.”
Alternate your work
Working a whole day or week for the most important project increases your anxiety without improving your productivity---in fact, you may lose focus. Every 60to 90 minutes, take a break from your work and do something different for 15 minutes. If you have been reading at your desk, walk into someone’s office to talk over on another project. Do not worry about breaking your concentration. You will return to your work energized and determined.
Shake a leg
Regular exercise is very important to stress control and mini exercise during the day can release pent-up energy. Most people pay little attention to some exercise which you can actually do every day, such as walk to your or someone’s office instead of taking the elevator; stand up and stretch your back and neck muscles while you are on the phone, and so on.
Spend time with your friend
During high-pressure periods, do not lock yourself in a room with your work. Talking with friends, getting together with people who make you laugh and change your opinion, will energize and inspire you. You want positive social support, so tell your friends about your progress and ask them for advice and encouragement.

(阅读理解题)阅读理解 Britain’s oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 110. Mr. John Evans had never found the time or the money—to make the trip from his home near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all-expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital, he just could not refuse. Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. Mr. Evans’, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century. “There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings (1 shilling=1/20 pound) return from Swansea—too much I thought. All my money went to the family then,” he said. During the next two days Mr. Evans will be taken on a whistle-stop tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the Houses of Parliament.(国会) The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided to move his about if he gets tired. His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized—no alcohol, no cigarette and no anger. Before setting off from Swansea with him 76-year-old son, Amwel, he quipped, “I am glad to see they have given me a return ticket.” Choose the best answer based on Part B. (1).

(阅读理解题) 阅读理解 In international trade, people buy and sell goods and then send them from one country to another. It can be a very risky business. If the goods are lost or damaged or if delivery does not take place as scheduled for some other reasons, the climate of confidence between the parties may deteriorate to the point where a lawsuit I launched. Nevertheless, the seller and the buyer in international transactions want their deal to be successfully completed. Frequently, the parties to international transaction are not aware of the different trading practice in their counterpart’s country. This can give rise to misunderstanding, disputes and even litigation, causing waste of time and money. In order to avoid these problems and reduce to the minimum the uncertainties of different interpretations of the trade terms, the International Chamber of Commerce prepared and published in1936 a set of international rules, that is, International Rules for the Incoterms of Trade Terms(Incotems for short), and the interpretation of the most commonly unused trade terms. Since 1936, the Incoterms have been revised several times to take account of changes in transportation techniques and to render them fully compatible with the new developments in electronic data interchange. Amendments and additions were made in 1953, 1967, 1976, 1980 and 1990 in order to bring the rules in line with current international trade practices. Now the Incoterms are presented in a new format with allows both the seller and the buyer to follow a step-by-step process to determine their respective rights andobligations and the new layout makes Incoterms 1990 easier to use. If when preparing their contract, both the seller and the buyer specifically refer to one of the Incoterms, they can be sure of defining their respective responsibilities simply and safely. In doing so, they can eliminate any possibility of misunderstanding and subsequent disputes. The Incoterms having been amended several times, have become a very useful guideline in international trade and thus fostered greatly in expansion. Choose the best answer based on Part C (1). (单选题) In international trade the selling and buying goods across countries can be risky, because ___________.( )(本题1.5分) A、 the buyer can refuse the goods if he can not afford them B、 the seller can keep the goods himself without being punished C、 the counterpart can change the contract easily D、 the goods may be damaged or lost during the delivery, or the delivery may not happen just as planned
