30、ions that follow. Choose the best answer A, B, C or D, and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square bracket on your Machine-scoring Answer Sheet.Passage OneThe term massage therapy (also called massage, for short; massage also refers to an individual treatment session) cover

31、s a group of practices and techniques. There are over 80 types of massage therapy. In all of them, therapists press, rub, and otherwise manipulate the muscles and other soft tissues of the body, often varying pressure and movement. They most often use their hands and fingers, but may use their forea

32、rms, elbows, or feet. Typically, the intent is to relax the soft tissues, increase delivery of blood and oxygen to the massaged areas, warm them, and decrease pain.Massage therapy dates back thousands of years. References to massage have been found in ancient writings from many cultures, including t

33、hose of Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Japan, China, Egypt, and the Indian subcontinent. In the United States, massage therapy first became popular and was promoted for a variety of health purposes starting in the mid-1800s. In the 1930s and 1940s, however, massage fell out of favor, mostly because o

34、f scientific and technological advances in medical treatments. Interest in massage revived in the 1970s, especially among athletes.More recently, a 2002 national survey on Americans' use of CAM (published in 2004) found that 5 percent of the 31,000 participants had used massage therapy in the pr

35、eceding 12 months, and 9.3 percent had ever used it. According to recent reviews, people use massage for a wide variety of health-related intents: for example, to relieve pain (often from musculoskeletal conditions, but from other conditions as well); rehabilitate sports injuries; reduce stress; inc

36、rease relaxation; address feelings of anxiety and depression; and aid general wellness.Massage therapy appears to have few serious risks if appropriate cautions are followed. A very small number of serious injuries have been reported, and they appear to have occurred mostly because cautions were not

37、 followed or a massage was given by a person who was not properly trained. Health care providers recommend that patients not have massage therapy before they consult their doctors about their own health conditions.Scientists are studying massage to understand what effects massage therapy has on pati

38、ents, how it has those effects, and why. Some aspects of this are better understood than others. There are many more aspects that are not yet known or well understood scientifically. More well-designed studies are needed to understand and confirm these theories and other scientific aspects of massag

39、e. 41. Which one of the following statements about massage is NOT correct according to the passage?A Many different practices and techniques can all be called massageB Hands and fingers aide the only body parts that therapists use when practicing massage C Soft tissues of the body are usually the ta

40、rget of massageD Massage can do much more than just providing relaxation42. In the survey mentioned in paragraph 3, we know that 9.3 percent of the participants _.A had used massage therapy at least onceB used massage therapy in 2004C used massage therapy in 2002D used massage therapy in 200143. Par

41、agraph 4 is mainly concerned about _.A the training processes of a qualified therapistsB safety of massage therapyC cautions that the therapists need to followD side effects and risks of massage therapy44. From the passage, we know that the study of massage _.A have not got started yetB can provide

42、full explanations for therapy practiceC cannot explain therapy practice at allD needs more research on therapy practicePassage TwoWhat most people dont realize is that wealth isnt the same as income. If you make $ 1 million a year and spend $ 1 million, youre not getting wealthier, youre just living

43、 high. Wealth is what you accumulate, not what you spend. The most successful accumulators of wealth spend far less than they can afford on houses, cars, vacations and entertainment. Why? Because these things offer little or no return. The wealthy would rather put their money into investments or the

44、ir businesses. Its an attitude. Millionaires understand that when you buy a luxury house, you buy a luxury life style too. Your property taxes skyrocket, along with the cost of utilities and insurance, and the prices of nearby services, such as grocery stores, tend to be higher. The rich mans attitu

45、de can also be seen in his car. Many drive old unpretentious sedans. Sam Walton, billionaire founder of the WalMart Store, Inc., drove a pickup truck. Most millionaires measure success by net worth, not income. Instead of taking their money home, they plow as much as they can into their businesses,

46、stock portfolios and other assets. Why? Because the government doesnt tax wealth; it taxes income you bring home for consumption, the more the government taxes. The person who piles up net worth fastest tends to put every dollar he can into investments, not consumption. All the while, of course, hes

47、 reinvesting his earnings from investments and watching his net worth soar. Thats the attitude as well. The best wealth-builders pay careful attention to their money and seek professional advice. Those who spend heavily on cars, boats and buses, Ive found, tend to skimp on investment advice. Those w

48、ho skimp on the luxuries are usually more willing to pay top dollar for good legal and financial advice. The self-made rich develop clear goals for their money. They may wish to retire early, or they may want to leave an estate to their children. The goals vary, but two things are consistent: they h

49、ave a dollar figure in mindthe amount they want to save by age 50, perhaps and they work unceasingly toward that goal. One thing may surprise you. If you make wealth not just income your goal, the luxury house youve been dreaming about wont seem so alluring. Youll have the attitude. 45. Which of the

50、 following statements is true?AWealth is judged according to the life style one has. B Inheritance builds an important part in ones wealth. C Wealth is more of what one has made than anything else. D High income may make one live high and get rich the same time.46.by the authors opinion, those who s

A will not be taxed by the government B live high and have little savedC have accumulated wealth in another sense D can show that they are among the rich 47.The rich put their money into business because . A that is the only way to spend money yet not to be tax

52、ed by the government B they are not interested in luxury houses and cars C their goal is to develop their company D they can get much in return to build their wealth48.To become wealthy, one should . A work hard unceasingly B seek as much income as he can C stick to the way he livesD save up his ear

53、nings Passage ThreeTaking charge of yourself involves putting to rest some very prevalent myths. At the top of the list is the notion that intelligence is measured by youre ability to solve complex problems; to read, write and compute at certain levels, and to resolve abstract equations quickly. Thi

54、s vision of intelligence asserts formal education and bookish excellence as the true measures of self-fulfillment. It encourages a kind of intellectual prejudice that has brought with it some discouraging results. We have come to believe that someone who has more educational merit badges, who is ver

55、y good at some form of school discipline is “intelligent.” Yet mental hospitals are filled with patients who have all of the properly lettered certificates. A truer indicator of intelligence is an effective, happy life lived each day and each present moment of every day.If you are happy, if you live

56、 each moment for everything with its worth, then you are an intelligent person. Problem solving is a useful help to your happiness, but if you know that given your inability to resolve a particular concern you can still choose happiness for yourself, or at a minimum refuse to choose unhappiness, the

57、n you are intelligent. You are intelligent because you have the ultimate weapon against the big N. B. DNervous Break Down.“Intelligent” people do not have N. B. D.s because they are in charge of themselves. They know how to choose happiness over depression, because they know how to deal with the pro

58、blems of their lives. You can begin to think of yourself as truly intelligent on the basis of how you choose to feel in the face of trying circumstances. The life struggles are pretty much the same for each of us. Everyone who is involved with other human beings in any social context has similar dif

59、ficulties. Disagreements, conflicts and compromises are a part of what it means to be human. Similarly, money, growing old, sickness, deaths, natural disasters and accidents are all events which present problems to virtually all human beings. But some people are able to make it, to avoid immobilizin

60、g depression and unhappiness despite such occurrences, while others collapse or have an N. B. D. Those who recognize problems as a human condition and dont measure happiness by an absence of problems are the most intelligent kind of humans we know; also, the most rare.49. According to the author, the
