Family caregivers of seniors should be cognizant of stress as it relates to their loved ones. Knowing the signs and detecting them early on can help seniors learn to recognize stress factors and to take steps to alleviate the effects stress can cause. Activities such as yoga, walking and other physical exercises designed for seniors are great tension relievers. Many seniors enjoy the benefits of tai chi classes geared to their physical abilities. The Mayo Clinic supports this gentle form of martial arts as a way to relieve stress and help other health-related conditions.

Some seniors are unable to participate in physical activities, but there are other ways to reduce stress. Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet and getting a good night's sleep can keep stress at bay. Joining a non-physical group activity, such as a bridge club or volunteering, offers socialization and a chance to clear the mind of daily responsibilities. There are also local agencies that can help with tasks that might cause undue stress for seniors. Respite care organizations can help with housework or grocery shopping. Religious organizations often have groups who can assist seniors with yard work or other strenuous tasks around the home.

The fact that stress is a part of life does not mean that overwhelming stress is a burden seniors have to shoulder all alone. With help, seniors can combat stress and its negative effects. Spend time helping seniors determine what burdens they face. Help them plan ways suited to their lifestyles that are not only fun but that can minimize the pressures stress can cause. By doing so, the quality of life seniors experience can increase, further paving the way for them to lead independent lives within the comfort of their own homes.

Which of the following is not mentioned as one way to reduce seniors' stress?（　）

What kind of physical activities may NOT help seniors relieve tension.（　）

There are various ways in which individual economic units can interact with one another. Three basic ways may be described as the market system, the administered system, and the traditional system.

In a market system individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the marketplace. It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sell commodities to them. In a market, transactions may take place via barter or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods such as automobiles, shoes and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task. Hence, the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably. In the modern market economy, goods and services are bought or sold for money.

An alternative for the market system is administrative control by some agency over all transactions. This agency will issue edicts or commands as to how much of each good and service should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit. Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy. The central plan, drawn up by the government, shows the amounts of each commodity produced by the various firms and allocated to different households for consumption. This is an example of complete planning of production, consumption, and exchange for the whole economy.

In a traditional society, production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition; every person's place within the economic system is fixed by parentage, religion, and custom. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition, too. People belonging to a certain group or caste（阶级）may have an obligation to care for other persons, provide them with food and shelter, care for their health, and provide for their education. Clearly, in a system where every decision is made on the basis of tradition alone, progress may be difficult to achieve. A stagnant society may result.

Compared with a traditional system, a market system is more _____.

The author wrote this passage in order to _____.

For the first time in decades, some of the fundamental achievements and tenets of the EU are under threat. These include the single currency, open borders, free movement of labor and the notion that membership is forever.

Rather than rising to these challenges, the EU is creaking under the strain. Its 28 members are arguing bitterly and seem incapable of framing effective responses to their common problems.

These arguments are also taking place against an ominous backdrop. Large parts of the EU remain sunk in a semi-depression with high unemployment and unsustainable public finances. The problems of an imploding Middle East are crowding in on Europe, in the form of hundreds of thousands of refugees. And the political fringes are on the rise—with the latest evidence being the election of a far-left eurosceptic candidate to lead Britain's Labour party.

With a sense of crisis mounting and the EU unable to respond, countries will be increasingly inclined to act unilaterally or even—in the case of Britain—leave the bloc altogether.

The refugee crisis is already threatening cherished ideas about open borders. In the past couple of days, Germany has reimposed frontier controls with Austria—which, in turn, has imposed controls at its border with Hungary, which itself is working feverishly to complete a barbed-wire fence to protect its frontier with non-EU Serbia. Controls have been tightened on the French-Italian borders, while migrants camp miserably in Calais, hoping to cross to England.

If the EU somehow gets a grip on the migrant crisis, these measures might be no more than temporary expedients. But if the pressure of would-be refugees heading for Europe remains intense, then temporary measures could harden into permanent controls.

Question marks over open borders will easily shade into wider issues about access to welfare systems and labour markets. That is because EU countries are realising that—in a border-free single market—a unilateral change of asylum rules by Germany had implications for the immigration policies of all member states. Once migrants get citizenship in one EU country, they have the right to move to any other, to work there and to claim benefits. But if free movement of people and labor come into question, so does the EU’s single market—its central achievement.

The refugee issue has, for the moment, overshadowed the euro. But the problems of the single currency have not gone away. On the contrary, Greece’s decision this summer to knuckle under and accept yet another austerity package has made the eurozone look increasingly like a trap.

Even Greece, which is profoundly unhappy with life in the eurozone, cannot risk leaving for fear of provoking a financial and economic crisis. Creditor countries such as Germany and the Netherlands are not much happier, as they fear they are being dragged into a system of permanent fiscal transfers towards the nations of southern Europe. Meanwhile, efforts to make the euro work better, by pressing ahead with a banking union, are stuck in Brussels. This does not look like a sustainable situation and the risk of euro break-up will surely return.

The refugee and euro crises bear on whether Britain will vote to stay in the EU, when it holds a referendum in 2016 or 2017. Until recently, the opinion polls looked promising for the pro-EU camp. But the migrant crisis plays directly into the most potent issue deployed by those campaigning for Britain to leave—which is that membership of the EU means that the UK cannot control immigration. More broadly, the British are less likely to stay inside an organization that seems to be failing. If they vote to leave, the sense of crisis within the EU would then mount—raising the possibility of further defections.

A partial unraveling and marginalisation of the EU still looks more likely than a full-scale collapse. But even if an organization called the European Union continues to exist—running buildings and paying salaries—it risks becoming increasingly irrelevant.

With a sense of crisis mounting and the EU unable to respond, countries will be increasingly inclined to act unilaterally or even—in the case of Britain—leave the bloc altogether.

The refugee crisis is already threatening cherished ideas about open borders. In the past couple of days, Germany has reimposed frontier controls with Austria—which, in turn, has imposed controls at its border with Hungary, which itself is working feverishly to complete a barbed-wire fence to protect its frontier with non-EU Serbia. Controls have been tightened on the French-Italian borders, while migrants camp miserably in Calais, hoping to cross to England.

If the EU somehow gets a grip on the migrant crisis, these measures might be no more than temporary expedients. But if the pressure of would-be refugees heading for Europe remains intense, then temporary measures could harden into permanent controls.

Question marks over open borders will easily shade into wider issues about access to welfare systems and labour markets. That is because EU countries are realising that—in a border-free single market—a unilateral change of asylum rules by Germany had implications for the immigration policies of all member states. Once migrants get citizenship in one EU country, they have the right to move to any other, to work there and to claim benefits. But if free movement of people and labor come into question, so does the EU’s single market—its central achievement.

The refugee issue has, for the moment, overshadowed the euro. But the problems of the single currency have not gone away. On the contrary, Greece’s decision this summer to knuckle under and accept yet another austerity package has made the eurozone look increasingly like a trap.

Even Greece, which is profoundly unhappy with life in the eurozone, cannot risk leaving for fear of provoking a financial and economic crisis. Creditor countries such as Germany and the Netherlands are not much happier, as they fear they are being dragged into a system of permanent fiscal transfers towards the nations of southern Europe. Meanwhile, efforts to make the euro work better, by pressing ahead with a banking union, are stuck in Brussels. This does not look like a sustainable situation and the risk of euro break-up will surely return.

The refugee and euro crises bear on whether Britain will vote to stay in the EU, when it holds a referendum in 2016 or 2017. Until recently, the opinion polls looked promising for the pro-EU camp. But the migrant crisis plays directly into the most potent issue deployed by those campaigning for Britain to leave—which is that membership of the EU means that the UK cannot control immigration. More broadly, the British are less likely to stay inside an organization that seems to be failing. If they vote to leave, the sense of crisis within the EU would then mount—raising the possibility of further defections.

A partial unraveling and marginalisation of the EU still looks more likely than a full-scale collapse. But even if an organization called the European Union continues to exist—running buildings and paying salaries—it risks becoming increasingly irrelevant.

If the Britain's Labour Party is led by a far-left eurosceptic candidate, what would most likely happen?（　）

For the first time in decades, some of the fundamental achievements and tenets of the EU are under threat. These include the single currency, open borders, free movement of labor and the notion that membership is forever.

Rather than rising to these challenges, the EU is creaking under the strain. Its 28 members are arguing bitterly and seem incapable of framing effective responses to their common problems.

These arguments are also taking place against an ominous backdrop. Large parts of the EU remain sunk in a semi-depression with high unemployment and unsustainable public finances.

The underlined sentence in the last paragraph “A partial unraveling and marginalization of the EU still looks more likely than a full-scale collapse.” tells us that_____.

Fundamentally, the global environment is in a desperate state of decline. Initially the Green Movement was seen to solve the problem of reducing running costs. This in turn has resulted in concern for the depletion（损耗）of natural resources and finally in concern for the damage being done to the global environment. Unfortunately the growing numbers of organizations and committees dedicated to saving the environment have only been able to outline appropriate proposals and initiatives. Because there is not a body that has the ability to enforce global legislation, there have not been any treaties or legislation that are globally binding. Cities are able to address social, economic and environmental issues through grassroots planning initiatives. The power of collective will and civic ambition reminds us that human behavior can be shaped as much by our designed environment as by social policy, such as governmental management and legislative control. While such participation can be a powerful catalyst （催化剂）for social change, it is by no means an easy task. It can begin with a simple awareness of our physical environment: What does it consist of now? How does it affect our behavior? What needs to be changed?

The general public needs to be accountable to themselves for the choices they make. By way of their accountability they will be maintaining and recycling not only physical resources, but also cultural resources for the benefit of future generations. Cultural practices traditionally dictate the desire of the society for survival. Decay is inevitable, as it is law of nature and we can only attempt to slow its course of destruction.

Preservation must be geared to preserve the messages and values: emotional values，cultural values and use values. Each is defined by its own terms and in some cases has overlapping identities. With this in mind, why is modern man living in excess of what is environmentally feasible, therefore hampering the efforts to perpetuate society? It is vital to work in conjunction with nature. Humans have the power to change the natural harmony of the earth, but we continue to accept subnormal and double standards.

As will be discussed, there has been some headway made in the last few years regarding the integration of the built environment with green architecture. However, not much has been realized in terms of the integration of historic preservation and green architecture in house. Presently there are examples of historic preservation and green architecture working in conjunction in commercial buildings.
