Going on holiday not only makes you feel good while you’re there, you also gain the health benefits for months, new research shows．

Jetting off to destinations such as the Maldives cuts your blood pressure, helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress, it found．The benefits last at least a fortnight longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some cases where it is claimed．Experts say workers should always take their full holiday entitlement（权利）each year, but as many as one in three don’t．

The study compared key health markers in holidaymakers visiting Thailand, Peru or the Maldives, with people who stayed at home and continued working．The average blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by six percent while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by two percent over the same period．The sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17 percent while that of the non-holidaymakers deteriorated by 14 percent．

The study also found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress, known as the stress-resilience test improved by 29 percent．There was a 71 percent fall in stress resilience scores among workers．Tests showed a fall in blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of diabetes （糖尿病）, trimmer waistlines and improved mood and energy levels, with the effects sustained for at least two weeks after returning home．

The Holiday Health Experiment was conducted by tour operator Kuoni and Nuffield Health, the UK’s largest healthcare charity．

Dear David,

I’m glad you would like to share your feelings with me．It’s hardly surprising that your feelings of not being “grown up” have come on strongly at this point in your life, just before you’re about to become a father．You are asking: Will I make a good father? How will I cope? I think nearly every man must have the occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy before the birth．

It’s difficult, honestly, to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to．The boss with a hen-pecking wife may feel like a seven-year-old when he’s at home．But as he walks through the office door, and knows he’s going to be surrounded by staff for advice, he grows into a fully mature man．And I think it’s a mistake to imagine that we all feel, as we age, a kind of progress of states, from the baby to the adult．Most people feel, on Tuesday, about three years old, and on a Wednesday, around 80．

There’s a common remark that“all men are little boys”, but it’s not true．It’s more true that men often behave like little boys．But nearly all people, at some moments in their lives, are able to be greatly mature．．Once your baby arrives, you’ll soon feel less childlike．When your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug, the adult in you will rise up to prevent it．

Comfort yourself, David, with two truths．One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they, like you, feel frightened．And remember that people who haven’t grown up don’t go around talking about the fact．

Good luck to you and your little one．

Sincerely Yours,

Miss Advice

28．According to the passage, Miss Advice thinks David’s self-doubt ________．

A．valuable B．unusual C．natural D．bearable

29．From Paragraph 2, we can learn that people’s sense of maturity ________．

A．will increase with age

B．is obviously seen at home

C．changes with different situations

D．becomes stronger with familiar people

30．Miss Advice holds that ________．

A．all men behave like little boys

B．people tend to laugh at the subject

C．men with a baby feel more grown-up

D．people enjoy talking about their immaturity

31．Miss Advice wrote the letter to ________．

A．offer suggestions to a future father B．teach people how to grow up

C．encourage people to be responsible D．solve problems of the less grown-up D

Was the London Olympics a success? Many people hold different opinions．However, one thing is certain, London could win a gold medal for hosting the“greenest”Games ever, BBC News reported．

Previous Olympic hosts have been criticized for the environmental damage they have caused through construction, waste and transport．But things had to be different in London．

What is most impressive is that London considered the construction of the Olympic Park as an opportunity to clean up polluted areas．2 million tons of polluted soils were removed and 200 old factory buildings were torn down, according to sustainablebusiness．com．But that’s not all．99 percent of the debris（废瓦砾）were reused to build the Olympic Park．

As well as using recycled materials, all gymnasiums were built with green building techniques．The Olympic Stadium is the lightest one ever built, which minimized the amount of steel and concrete needed．Also, the handball field has lighting pipes on the roof that reduce electricity use by 40 percent．

The effort that London made to deal with waste also deserves praise．Water used for drinking and watering plants was from collected rainwater or recycled wastewater．In this way, about 30-40 percent less water was used in total．Waste food package were either recycled or processed and turned into renewable energy．

As one of the best connected places in Europe, London tried to solve traffic jams by encouraging the use of public transport．For example, it had trains deliver half of the building materials, instead of cars, which greatly reduced carbon emissions（排放）．

The clean anti-doping result also added to the greenness of the Games．Only one athlete tested positive for a banned drug on the day of competing, which is why the IOC President, Jacques Rogge, has praised anti-doping efforts at the London Games．

32．To make the Olympic Park green, London ________．

A．recycled 2 million tons of polluted soil

B．applied green building techniques to the construction

C．built the Olympic Stadium mostly with recycled materials

D．removed 99 percent of the debris from the city

33．The underlined word“minimized”in the fourth paragraph probably means ________．

A．increased as much as possible B．made use of

C．reduced as much as possible D．took little notice of

34．What can we conclude from the article?

A．The London Olympics cost less than the other Olympics ever held．

B．London has possessed the most advanced techniques to deal with waste．

C．Public transport is made good use of in London during the Olympic Games．

D．The anti-doping result in the London Olympics turned out to be dissatisfactory．

35．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A．The effort that London made to deal with waste isn't worthy of praise．

B．In terms of holding the greenest Games, the London Olympics was a success．

C．London tried to solve traffic jams by encouraging the use of private cars for free．

D．The IOC President, Jacques Rogge was unsatisfied with the anti-doping efforts at the London Games．
