Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or fight” and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death.The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can’t remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could),we need to find ways to deal with it.

�、鳎甌ranslation from English into Chinese（15 points）
將下列短文譯成漢語并將答案寫在答題紙上。
Most of us, when we reached our teens, started looking forward to the day when we would occupy places of our own, far from the confines of our families. We saw this moving away as a chance to strike out on our own , to grow, to spread out wings and experience freedom. At the same time, we regarded this independence as temporary—the thing to do until we found the perfect mate and married. Over the years, many millions of people have made this passage from one family to another, with just a brief, often nervous interval of independence in between. But recently, more and more people have begun to challenge the concept that living together is better than living alone. Being single is now accepted as an alternative lifestyle—one that is natural, rewarding, and complete. In fact, being single has become almost fashionable.

Ⅶ. Translation from English into Chinese (15 points)
我們大多數(shù)人到了十幾歲的時候，就開始向往有一天能有自己的獨立空間，從而離開家庭的束縛。我們把離開家看做是獨立生活、長大成人、展翅飛翔和體驗自由的機會。但與此同時，我們認為這種獨立只不過是在我們找到滿意的伴侶并結(jié)婚之前的暫時的事情。這些年中，幾百萬人們都是這樣從一個家庭到另一個家庭過來的，中間經(jīng)歷了一個短暫、并且常常是不知所措的獨立階段。但是最近，這種與人住在一起比獨居更好的觀念正開始受到越來越多的人們的挑戰(zhàn)。獨身現(xiàn)在被人們看做是生活方式的另一種選擇——這種生活方式是合乎自然的，有意義的，而且是沒有什么缺陷的。實際上，獨身已經(jīng)變得近乎流行起來了。
