Seventy一 year- old Tububatu and his wife live in a village on the edge of Badain Jaran.
China's third-largest desert. Since their retirement. they've been spending every day fighting the
advancement of the desert with the help of plant- life. Others had tried fighting the desert and
failed. but they just wanted to know if they could make a difference
Relying only on their pensions, the retired couple have been slowly and steadily growing their
little desert forest. They started out by planting just 50 trees, but kept doubling their efforts to the
point where they now plant thousands of trees a year. Even though they mostly plant drought-
resistant (抗.早的) species, they still water them at least once a day to make sure they grow better
Their small desert forest now covers over 266 hectares (公顷) and numbers tens of thousands of
trees
The couple stay behind in their village, nearly 1oo kilometers away from the nearest town.
despite their children's efforts to get them to move with them to a more comfortable home. They've
been made fun of by other villagers who believed their efforts to fight the desert were sure to fail
but they haven't let that prevent them making their efforts They may very well fail, but at least

Many companies are expanding their mental-health benefits (福利), but getting emplovees to
take advantage of them can be challenging. Puget Sound Energy is on a mission to change that
Last year. 98% of its emplovees watched a 20-minute mental-health training video, and
managers were offered a two-hour live mental-health training. The sessions included tips on
how to recognize and respond to mental-health issues in themselves and others. information on
what mental-health resources the company offers. and personal stories from PSE workers who
had experienced mental illness
PSE is one of many companies expanding mental-health benefits and talking about mental
health in the workplace in new ways. Workers are suffering from it, and companies recognize poor
mental health among emplovees which is linked to lost productivity and higher medical expenses
Most companies already offer some free mental-health counseling (咨 询) through an employee
assistance plan, or EAP, to provide a certain number of counseling sessions annually for free
The problem is that EAPs are often not made full use of. While research indicates that 2o% of
the adult population experiences a mental illness each year. less than 8% of emplovees take
advantage of their company's EAP, says Darren Brooks
In some cases, workers don't know their employer has an EAP because it isn't well一promoted
In other cases, workers fear there could be repercussions if their employer finds out their depression
or another mental illness. Still others face long waits to book an appointment with EAP due to a
national shortage of counselors
With that in mind, some companies are improving access to mental一health services. It
requires training managers to recognize signs of mental-health illness and to speak about specific
challenges that people experience in their daily lives. Another part of the challenge is convincing
people that it is OK to use them. To make employees more comfortable asking for help, some

companies are encouraging managers and workers to share their own mental-health stories..

D. To train its employees for medical knowledge
答案:B 推理判断题。根据第三段前两句可知,PSE这家公司是为了确保员工的心理健康。
故选B。
6. What is the problem with EAP?
A. It is not fully used by emplovees
B. Some employees can't afford it for lack of money
C. Emplovees taking it are fired because of their illness
D. Few counselors are willing to promote it to employees

7. What does the underlined word "repercussions" mean in the fifth paragraph?
A. Benefits
B. Arrangements
C. Impacts.
D. Tendencies
答案:C 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知,有些工人担心,如果用这个“员工援助计

Boxing is a popular sport that many people seem to be fascinated by. Newspapers, magazines
and sports programmes on TV frequently 1 boxing matches. Professional boxers earn a lot of
money, and successful boxers are 2 as big heroes
It seems to me that some people, especially men, find it 3 because it is an aggressive
sport. When they watch a boxing match, they can 4 the winning boxer, and this gives them the
feeling of being a 5 themselves. It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from
time to time, but they cannot show their 6 in their everyday lives. Watching a boxing match
gives them an outlet for this aggression
However. there is a 7 side to boxing. It can be a yery dangerous sport Although boxers
wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers 8 have to wear helmets, there have
frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with 2
consequences. Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and occasionally, fighters have even been
killed as a result of being knocked out in the 10 . Furthermore, studies have shown that there
are often long-term effects of boxing, in the form of serious brain 11 , even if a boxer has
never been knocked out
I am personally not at all in 12 of aggressive sports like boxing. I think it would be better
if less time was 13 to aggressive sports on TV. and we welcomed more men and women from
non- aggressive sports as our heroes and heroines in our society. I believe that the world is
aggressive enough already! Of course. people like 14 sports. and so do I. but I think that
