三、阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Several hundred strangers received “love letters” from a young man on the street. The letter was written and given out by Yang Yang，who asked passers­by，as he handed them the notes，“Do you suffer from pressure？”He was a student majoring in human resources at Chongqing University of Science and Technology，who hoped to show his disappointment with job hunting.
Yang's story has caught media attention perhaps because it is similar to those of millions of recent graduates seeking jobs and struggling for survival in the country's wealthiest cities. They have diplomas，rather than professional skills，and come to big cities in hopes of better lives，only to find low­paying jobs and poor living conditions.
They are China's “ant tribe(蚁族)”，a term coined by sociologist Lian Si from Peking University in his 2009 book，Ant Tribe. “They're so similar to ants. They share small and narrow living areas. They're intelligent and hard­working，yet nameless and underpaid. ” The term also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the jungle—only the strongest survive.
A survey in Lian's another book published this year，Ant Tribe Ⅱ，found nearly 30 percent of “ants” are graduates of famous universities—almost three times last year's percentage. Most had degrees in popular majors. In addition,7. 2 percent of “ants” have at least a master's degree compared to 1. 6 percent in 2009.
An “ant's” average monthly salary is 1,904 yuan，with about 64 percent of them earning less than 2,000 yuan a month.
Another survey in the 2010 Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Talent found more than 1 million “ants” live in big cities.
“Most ants are from rural families or small towns，and their experiences in ordinary universities didn't arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities' employment markets. ” Professor Zhang Ming at Renmin University of China said.
The “ant tribe's” embarrassing living situations have become a serious social problem，and the government should develop smaller cities to attract more graduates from big cities，Zhang believed.
However, “ants” expect more study and training opportunities in big cities，which keeps them positive despite their situations.
36．Yang's story is introduced in order to ________.
A．analyze graduates' difficulties in finding jobs
B．lead to the topic of the article— “ant tribe”
C．tell readers a story about those big cities
D．show a clever way of dealing with pressure
答案　B　[推理推断题。文章用这个年轻人的故事反映出了就业的困难，从而导入“蚁族”这个中心话题。]
37．The “ants” fail to find high­paying jobs mainly because ________.
A．they have no diplomas from good universities
B．they do not have necessary professional skills
C．their majors do not meet the needs of society
D．those from rural areas are not treated equally
答案　B　[细节理解题。依据文章其次段其次句话可知答案。]
38．Professor Zhang thought “ants” problems could be solved by ________.
A．creating more jobs for graduates in big cities
B．developing smaller cities to attract graduates
C．sending graduates to rural areas and small towns
D．training graduates to improve their ability
答案　B　[细节理解题。依据文章倒数其次段的内容可知，张教授认为解决问题的方法是进展比较小的城市来吸引毕业生。]
39．By writing this article，the author mainly means to show _
A．despite better educations，“ants” are still struggling
B．despite difficulties，“ants” have a promising future
C．better education，better job opportunities
D．Ant Tribe is a good book to help understand today's China
答案　A　[目的意图题。作者通过这篇文章叙述了现阶段“蚁族”高校毕业生在社会上“挣扎”的生活状态。]
B
Over the December holidays，my husband had a 10­day silent meditation(冥思、默念)．Not my idea of fun，but he came back refreshed and energetic.
He said the experience was so fantastic that he has been in meditation for two hours a day，once in the morning and once in the evening，until the end of March. He's running an experiment to determine whether and how meditation actually improves the quality of his life. I have doubts about it.
But now，scientists say that meditators like my husband may be benefiting from changes in their brains. The researchers report that those who meditated for about 30 minutes a day for eight weeks had measurable changes in grey matter density in parts of the brain associated with memory，sense of self，empathy(心灵相通)and stress.
M．R. I(磁共振)brain scans taken before and after the participants' meditation found increased grey matter in the hippocampue，an area important for learning and memory. The images also showed a reduction of grey matter in the amygdala，a part connected to anxiety and stress. A control group that did not practise meditation showed no such changes.
How exactly did these study volunteers meditate？So many people talk about meditating these days. Within four miles of our Bay Area home，there are at least six centers that offer some type of meditation class，and I often hear phrases like，“So how was your sit today？”
Britta Holzel，a professor at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School and the study's lead author，said the participants practised mindfulness meditation，a form of silent deep thought that was introduced in the United States in the late 1970s. It traces its roots to the same ancient Buddhist techniques that my husband follows.
“The main idea is to use different objects to focus one's attention，and it could be a focus on sensations of breathing，or emotions or thoughts，or observing any type of body sensations，”she said. “But it's about bringing the mind back to the here and now，as opposed to letting the mind wander. ”
Generally the meditators are seated upright on a chair or the floor and in silence，although sometimes there might be a guide leading the practice，Dr. Holzel said.
Of course，it's important to remember that the human brain is complex. “The field is very，very young，and we don't really know enough about it yet，”Dr. Holzel said. “I would say these are quite preliminary findings. We see that there is something there，but we have to test these findings over and over to find out what they really mean. ”
It has been hard to exactly tell the benefits of meditation，but a 2009 study suggests that meditation may reduce blood pressure for patients with coronary heart disease(冠心病)．And a 2007 study foun
