Questions 11-15

The Lake District in north-west Englａｎｄ is an area remarkably little affected by industrialization. The principal activity is still sheep-farming, as it has been fｏｒa thousａｎｄ years, ａｎｄ many ancient words like ‘fell\\\\\' fｏｒ‘hill\\\\\' ａｎｄ ‘tam\\\\\' fｏｒ‘lake\\\\\' are still in daily use. In spite of its heavy rainfall ａｎｄ relative inaccessibility, its special atmosphere ａｎｄ spectacular natural beauty combine to make this one of England\\\\\'s favourite holiday areas at all seasons of the year. But at Christmas 1968, still gripped by the fear that foot-and-mouth disease could spread to the hill flocks ａｎｄ sweep like wildfire right up to the Scottish border, it was quieter than ever before in this century. Luckily not a single farm had caught tile infection, the nearest case having been an isolated one at Kendal several weeks before. but every Lakelａｎｄ farmer knows that one case among the unfenced hill flocks on the fells could lead to complete annihilation of hundreds of thousands of sheep ａｎｄ the virtual end of the district\\\\\'s principal industry; you cannot replace sheep, acclimatized to their own part of the fell for generations, in the same way that you can replace cattle in a field.

Nobody could remember a Christmas like it, especially Boxing Dab, which is traditionally one of the big outdoｏｒholidays of the Lakelａｎｄ year. Normally this is a day spent following the mountain packs of hounds, felt-walking and, if the weather is propitious, skiing ａｎｄ skating, but this time there were none of these things. Visitors were actively discouraged, ａｎｄ those who did come were asked not to go on the fells, footpaths ｏｒbridleways ｏｒnear farmland, while motorists were requested not to drive on minｏｒroads ａｎｄ to shun the smaller valleys. The enterprising hotels which had earlier in the year decided to keep open during the winter were by the end of October having a desperate time. Hundreds of bookings had been cancelled ａｎｄ scores of dinner parties ａｎｄ young farmers\\\\\' reunions eliminated. All youth hostels were closed. At least one climbing club, unable to climb, substituted a training programme of films ａｎｄ simulated climbs on the more substantial municipal buildings.

The weather in the area was dry, crisp, windless ａｎｄ cold, in fact ideal fｏｒbrisk outdoｏｒactivities. But nobody was able to enjoy it. Everything was stopped: hunting, walking, climbing, skiing, motｏｒcycle trials, sporting events of every description. All the seasonal dances, festivals, conferences, shepherds\\\\\' meets ａｎｄ a hundred ａｎｄ one other social occasions abandoned. The ice was bearing on some of the lakes but you could not go skating there. Meanwhile the foxes, emboldened by an unprecedented freedom from harassment, were stalking closer to the farms ａｎｄ the flocks of Christmas turkeys, while the hounds sulked miserably in their kennels.

Farmers are apt to criticize some sections of the outdoｏｒfraternity fｏｒtheir occasional thoughtless behaviour, but the way that walkers, climbers, skiers, fishermen, hunters ａｎｄ the rest went out of their way to help them at this time should never be forgotten. The general public, locals ａｎｄ visitors a like., tried to give the fell farmers a sporting chance, ａｎｄ this remarkable display of public spirit was the one bright note in a very sad time.

Questions 16-20

Why Men Explode

Although women get angry just as often as men, rage remains the prototypical male emotion. "My kids still talk about my \\\\\'freak-outs,\\\\\'" says Kim Garretson, 54, a corporate strategist in Minneapolis, who once erupted into volcanic fur5; in a restaurant when served a still-frozen entre2e. "1 didn\\\\\'t express much of anything, but once in a while, I\\\\\'d just blow."

Why do so many men lose their tempers? "The rage comes because there\\\\\'s so much frustration when you cut off something that is you. Yet that\\\\\'s what men do, because they\\\\\'re afraid that if you give emotions an inch, they\\\\\'ll take a mile," says psychologist Kenneth W. Christian, PhD, authｏｒof Your Own Worst Enemy. "If you don\\\\\'t learn how to work with your emotions, you\\\\\'re a shadow figure, a small incomplete version of yourself. It\\\\\'s only a matter of time until the house of cards that you are falls apart."

FｏｒKim Garretson, that day came four years ago when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. As often happens when illness strikes men, he realized he had nothing to lose, ａｎｄ everything to gain, by letting himself feel. "I\\\\\'m no longer afraid of expressing almost any emotion," he says. "I get anger out with my quick, sharp tongue and move on. I use humｏｒas an outlet, I\\\\\'ve reconnected with old friends. I talk about the big questions of life. 1 search fｏｒspiritual meaning."

Guys, Try These

In his Dirty Harry days, Clint Eastwood never flinched. Now as a husband, father ａｎｄ Oscar-winning directｏｒof movies that explore the depths of men\\\\\'s souls, the tough guy has turned tender--but not talkative. "The men who hide their emotions the most may; in fact be the most sensitive," observes Christian. Yet men can become more emotionally expressive without tears ｏｒfears. Here are some ways to start:

Develop a creative outlet. Hobbies like painting ｏｒplaying a musical instrument can tap into a man\\\\\'s soul. Remember that much of the world\\\\\'s greatest art, music ａｎｄ literature was created by the allegedly emotionally challenged sex.

Release stress ａｎｄ anger through exercise. "When you get to the breaking point where you just want to put your head through a wall, taking a ten-minute time-out isn\\\\\'t enough to calm down," says Westover, who in moments of extreme emotion finds a place to ｄｒｅｐto the floｏｒａｎｄ do push-ups.

Try\\\\\' expressing "a little" emotion. "Start with feelings you can control, find a sympathetic ear and use the term \\\\\'a little,\\\\\'" suggests Coleman, Saying you feel "a little" sad ｏｒ"a little" scared feels safer than a full declaration of vulnerability.

Lean into the discomfort. "Rather than avoiding a feeling that you\\\\\'re not sure how to handle, move toward it," says psychologist Travis Bradbury, PhD, co-authｏｒof The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book. "Learning to handle emotions takes time ａｎｄ practice, because you need to retrain your brain, but it does get easier."

16. Kim Garretson, a 54-year-old corporate strategist, once got very angry when_______.

(A) diagnosed with lung cancer
(B) given a take musical instrument
(C) dragged into a mountainous trip
(D) served cold food in a restaurant

17. "They\\\\\'ll take a mile." (para. 2), \\\\\'they\\\\\' refers to_______.
(A) psychologists
(B) cards
(C) emotions
(D) friends

18. If you fail to learn how to work with your emotions,_______.
(A) you will sooner ｏｒlater break down
(B) you will be an active figure in shadow boxing
(C) you will be afraid of expressing almost any emotion
(D) you will spend more time searching fｏｒspiritual meaning

(A) To talk as much as possible.
