　　(2024·福州高三质检)Depression (抑郁症) is a serious problem today.Depression causes workers to be unproductive, causing companies and countries to lose billions of dollars.One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is “widespread, costly and deadly”．Depression hits one person in five around the world.

　　Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated, studies show that depression is a problem among everyone.Over any six-month period, between five to seven percent of the world's population will be suffering from a serious depression.Suicide rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme, or clinical form were 80 percent higher than in the population at large, and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks.People who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping, getting up on time, and doing work productively.

　　Depression, which researchers agree has its origin in the genes, brings loss of confidence and ability to concentrate — making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently.

　　Depression is made more serious in China by Chinese's inability to face it.Many people believe that depressed people are either weak or lazy.Besides, there is no good treatment, with few specialists available.“Most patients in China just don't get help，” a Chinese doctor says.“In my hospital, I have to see 30 or 40 patients in a morning, just have time to say ‘Hello, how do you feel？’”

　　In Western countries, people are not afraid to admit that they have depression, but most do not tell it to their boss, because they fear that they will be stricken off the rolls.“In my experience, aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it.Because they feel the most secure about themselves，” an American doctor says.

　　Hopefully, in the near future, people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that they can get the right treatment.

　　1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．It is widely believed that everyone may suffer from depression.

　　B．Depression brings great problems to its sufferers in their life and work.

　　C．Depression is a commonly-existing problem only in rich countries.

　　D．The poorer and the less educated a person is, the less he will suffer from depression.

　　2．Compared to normal people, the depressed people are likely to be ________.

　　A．very unconfident and often absent-minded

　　B．easy to avoid being hit by heart attacks

　　C．working efficiently and productively

　　D．either weak or lazy

　　3．Depression becomes more serious in China because of ________.

　　A．the understanding of the problem

　　B．the lack of treatment and doctors

　　C．their unwillingness to tell it to their boss

　　D．the doctors' careless work

　　4．What can we infer from the passage?

　　A．People are suffering from depression because of the shortage of specialists.

　　B．The aging bosses around the world dare to say they are depressed.

　　C．More and more patients will turn to specialists for help.

　　D．Western people are braver than Chinese people.

　　(2024·宣城高三模拟)Rae and Bruce Hostetler not only work very hard, they also relax just as well.Numerous vacations help the couple to maintain their health and emotional well-being — and it's no surprise to health care professionals.

　　“Rest,

　　relaxation,

　　and stress

　　reduction are very

　　important

　　for people's well-being and health.This can be accomplished through daily activities, such as exercise and meditation, but vacation is an important part of this as well，” said primary care physician Natasha Withers from One Medical Group in New York.Withers lists a decreased risk of heart disease and improved reaction time as some of the benefits from taking some time off.“We also know that the mind is very powerful and can help with healing, so a rested, relaxed mind is able to help the body heal better，” said Withers.

　　Psychologists confirm the value of vacations for the mind.“The impact that taking a vacation has on one's mental health is great，” said Francine Lederer, a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles who specializes in stress and relationship management.“Most people have better life perspective and are more motivated to achieve their goals after a vacation, even if it is a 24-hour time-out.” The trips could be good for their health, good for their family and good for their businesses.

　　The online travel agency Expedia conducted a survey about vacation time in 2010, and according to their data the average American earned 18 vacation days — but only used 14 of them.France topped the list, with the average worker earning 37 vacation days and using all but two of them.Americans' responses may not be surprising in a culture where long hours on the job often are valued, but that's not always good for the individual, the family or the employer.

　　Psychologists have also found that people who don't take enough time to relax may find it harder to relax in the future.“Without time and opportunity to do this, the nerve connections that produce feelings of calm and peacefulness become weaker, making it actually more difficult to shift into less-stressed states，” Mulhern said.

　　5．How did the author introduce the topic of the text?

　　A．By making comparisons.

　　B．By giving an example.

　　C．By raising questions.

　　D．By providing data.

　　6．According to Natasha Withers, vacations can ________.

　　A．weaken reaction system

　　B．cure serious diseases

　　C．reduce the level of well-being

　　D．decrease the risk of heart disease

　　7．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

　　A．One should never wait to relax.

　　B．Work and rest go against each other.

　　C．Time and opportunity wait for no man.

　　D．A relaxed mind determines everything.

　　8．What is mainly talked about in the text?

　　A．Ways to relax in one's free time.

　　B．The benefits of taking time off.

　　C．Different opinions on holidays.

　　D．The Hostetlers always on the go.
