are felt by humans, most cause relatively littledamage, particularly if they occur in sparely

areas.Scientists have observed that certain phenomena seem to occur before an earthquake as the pressure withinthe plates intensifies. Myriads of tiny cracks appear in the rock, causing it to expand and uplift the ground aboveit. The pressure squeezes water out of the rock, thereby

nearby water levels. Also the rock becomesmore resistant to electric current, and radon gas is released. Scientists hope that these

phenomena willprovide keys to predict when and where an earthquake will occur, thereby enabling them to warn people toevacuate the area. While the earthquake itself cannot be prevented, at least lives may be saved.11 (A)accepting by (B)except by (C)additional to (D)in addition12 (A)Of those (B)Among them that (C)Of those that (D)Of them13 (A)inhabiting (B)inhabit (C)inhabitant (D)inhabited14 (A)rises (B)raising (C)raises (D)arising15 (A)interrelated (B)interrelate (C)opposite (D)oppositional請依下文回答第16 題至第20 題There are basically two types of stress placed on human beings. One type involves physical activity andits demands; the other type is the result of mental and emotional demands. Whether physical or emotional inorigin, stress causes the body to react in similar ways. In the first stage, your body prepares to meet the stress.The heartbeat and respiration rates increase, and the pupils of the eyes dilate; the blood sugar level increases,and the perspiration rate speeds up, while digestion slows down as blood and muscular activity is divertedelsewhere. In the second stage, your body returns to normal and repairs any damage caused by the stressfulsituation. However, if stress continues, the body cannot repair itself, and the final stage, exhaustion, thenbegins. If this stage continues, physical and emotional damage will occur. These stages of stress reaction aregenerally the same, whether the stress is caused by a cross-country run, a first date, buying a house, or narrowlymissing an automobile accident.Stress from physical activity, if not carried too far, is actually beneficial. Probably most harmful of allstresses is guilt. This common emotion is useful to have when it helps us realize that we have, in fact,committed some error, violated our own rules or social norms. If we did not feel guilt, we would never doanything except the things that brought us immediate pleasure—we’d never obey the law, work, or even studyin school, unless we wanted to do so in the first place. As a person’s conscience develops, guilt feelings becomeinevitable; guilt is the sorrow we experience when we know we have done something incorrect.Many of us as children learned rules that we no longer need. For instance, a successful business personneeds not feel guilty about spending a little too much money on a vacation, or should she/he feel guilty thatshe/he can combine a business trip with some swimming and golf at an ocean resort. But many people do feelguilty over such apparently innocent actions. Excessive guilt can make life not worth living; guilt can causeself-hatred as well as other fears and anxieties that cause all life’s successes to be bittersweet, at best.Guilt and the worry that often accompanies this major stress are difficult to eradicate, but people subjectto excessive guilt feelings should realize, as simple as it sounds, that no one is perfect. People cannot alwaysbe cheerful and helpful to everyone they meet. Another good lesson is that mistakes should be forgotten, notlingered over and brought out to examine periodically.A life without stress would be boring. Just as we need a little guilt to keep us correct, and a little worry tomake us plan ahead, we need a little stress to stay interested in life. But, when stress begins to bother you,change your routine. Take your mind off your worries with some activities, whether tennis, yoga, gardening,or meditation. Or talk your worries over with someone else; you may discover a solution you had overlookedbefore.
