Depressin is much higher amngst female bsses than male bsses，a new US survey finds.Dr Tetyana Pudrvska，the study's first authr，explained：“Wmen with jb authrity－the ability t hire，fire，and influence pay－have greatly mre symptms f depressin than wmen withut this pwer.But men with jb authrity have fewer symptms f depressin than men withut such pwer.”
The study fllwed 1，500 middle-aged wmen and 1，300 middle-aged men wh all graduated frm high schls in Wiscnsin.The men and wmen were surveyed in 1993 and 2004 t lk at the cnnectin between hw much authrity they had at wrk and symptms f depressin.
The results shwed that amngst men and wmen with lwer levels f authrity at wrk，wmen had slightly higher levels f depressin.This is nrmal since verall wmen suffer frm depressin slightly mre than men.Amngst men and wmen with higher levels f authrity at wrk，hwever，it was wmen wh had many mre symptms f depressin than men.Men in authrity actually had a 10% lwer risk f depressin，while authrity increased the risk f wmen having depressive symptms by 9%.
Dr Pudrvska cntinued：“What shcked us is that wmen with jb authrity in ur study are advantaged in terms f mst characteristics that are strng signs f psitive mental health.These wmen have mre educatin，higher incmes，better jbs，and higher levels f jb satisfactin than wmen withut jb authrity.Yet，they have wrse mental health than lwer－status(地位)wmen.”
The cause f this discrepancy is nt knwn，but Dr Pudrvska says：“Years f scial science research suggests that wmen in authrity psitins deal with interpersnal anxiety，negative scial interactins，negative steretypes，prejudice，scial islatin(社会孤立)，as well as resistance(抵抗)frm clleagues.Wmen in authrity psitins are viewed as lacking in the assertiveness(果断)and cnfidence f strng leaders.But when these wmen display such characteristics，they are judged negatively fr being unfeminine(不像女性的)．This causes mental stress.”
Men，n the ther hand，d nt have t face these kinds f negative steretypes abut their abilities.

B．Female bsses get the same stress frm wrk as male bsses.

阅读下面的短文，完成下列各题：
A new study has fund the amunt f antibitics (抗生素) given t farm animals is expected t increase by tw-thirds ver the next 15 years. Researchers are linking the grwing dependence n the drugs t the increasing need fr meat, milk and eggs. Hwever, the drugs culd quicken the develpment f antibitic-resistant infectins (感染). Such infectins are already a majr public, health cncern in the United States.
The Wrld Health Organizatin ntes that when peple stp living in pverty (贫困), the first thing they want t d is eat better, rather than earn mre mney. Fr mst peple, that means their diet shuld cntain mre meat. With the rapid develpment f Asia, peple there are eating nearly fur times as much meat, milk and ther milk prducts as they did 50 years ag.
T meet the need, farmers have put many animals int smaller spaces. As the animals are crwded tgether, the easiest way t deal with sme f the prblems f crwding is t give them antibitics. It's clear that antibitics help animals stay healthy in a crwded envirnment and grw faster. But bacteria can develp resistance t the drugs gradually.
Nwadays, dctrs find antibitics that nce wrked against the infectins n lnger wrk. The bacteria have learned ways t fight against the drugs. The heavy use f antibitics in animals is respnsible fr the grwth f antibitic resistance wrldwide. In the United States, at least tw millin peple get drug-resistant infectins each year and at least 23,000 die frm an infectin.
Eurpe has banned the use f antibitics t increase animal grwth. And the United States is hping t persuade farmers t stp using antibitics fr that purpse.
(1)What accunts fr the increasing amunt f antibitics given t farm animals?
A.The desire fr new drugs.
B.The less effective antibitics.
C.The utdated farm technlgy.
D.The need fr mre varius fds.
(2)What d mst peple want t d first when they get rid f pverty accrding t the WHO?
A.Make a lt f mney.
B.Fcus mre n health.
C.Have mre meat in their diet.
D.Live in a better envirnment.
(3)What can be inferred frm the passage?
A.Antibitics d harm t animals.
B.Antibitics help animals stay healthy.
C.Antibitics are used heavily in Eurpe.
D.Antibitic-resistant bacteria spread t peple.
(4)What's the passage mainly abut?

The cttages culd be an example f the industry’s dd lve affair with“lw technlgy,”a cncept assciated with the natural wrld,and with ld-schl craftsmanship(手艺)that exists lng befre the Internet era.Lw technlgy is nt virtual(虚拟的)—s,t take advantage f it,Internet cmpanies have had t get creative.The rescued wd cttages,fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds,are an bvius example,but Twitter’s designs lie n the extreme end.Other cmpanies are using a brader interpretatin(阐释)f lw technlgy that fcuses n nature.
Amazn is building three glass spheres filled with trees,s that emplyees can“wrk and scialize in a mre natural,park-like setting.”At Ggle’s ffice,an entire flr is carpeted in glass.Facebk’s secnd Menl Park campus will have a rftp park with a walking trail.
Olle Lundberg,the funder f Lundberg Design,has wrked with many tech cmpanies ver the years.“We have lst the cnnectin t the maker in ur lives,and ur tech engineers are the nes wh feel mst impverished(贫乏的),because they’re surrunded by the digital wrld,”he says.“They’re lking fr a way t regain their individual identity,and we’ve fund that intrducing real crafts is ne way t d that.”
This craft based thery is rted in histry,William Mrris,the English artist and writer,turned back t pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties,just after the Industrial Revlutin.The Arts and Crafts mvement defined itself against machines.“Withut creative human ccupatin,peple became discnnected frm life,”Mrris said.
Research has shwn that natural envirnments can restre(恢复)ur mental capacities.In Japan,patients are encuraged t“frest-bathe,”taking walks thrugh wds t lwer their bld pressure.
These health benefits apply t the wrkplace as well.Rachel Kaplvin,a prfessr f envirnmental psychlgy,has spent years researching the restrative effects f natural envirnments.Her research fund that wrkers with access t nature at the ffice—even simple views f trees and flwers—felt their jbs were less stressful and mre satisfying.If lw-tech ffices can ptentially nurish the brains and imprve the mental health f emplyees then,fine,bring n the cttages.

Jane is that pair f essential, timeless pumps that I wear ften and wuld be lst withut.With this classic, my basic needs and cmfrt level are assured—leaving me time and energy fr fun.I can mve gracefully frm day t night, frm wrk t play, frm jkes t discussin.My step is light; laughter cmes easily and I am ready fr adventure.
Gergiana is my pair f standard white Keds—familiar, cmfrtable and gd fr all seasns.I’ve had them since lng befre.They are part f my childhd.They take me hme, and I am a kid again diving int the cean n a ht summer day.They have been up the hill and thrugh the mud with me.They keep me mving frward, even when putting ne ft in frnt f the ther feels like the hardest thing I’ve ever dne.I knw I can slip them tmrrw and all days after.I am indebtedt these lvely wrn sneakers.
In the she rack f life, these are the friends I cherish.They are the base upn which I stand.They accmpany me n my chsen path, regardless f where it leads r hw bumpy r winding it gets.

The deep, gentle vice helped calm the nervus girl. Asking a favr f the President f the United States was n casual matter, especially fr a seventeen-year-ld girl.
“Yes, sir,” she replied, her dark eyes meeting his. “I wuldn’t have du ask yu, but my teacher, Mr. Mills, says I am ready. I plan t make it in an admirable manner. “
President Lincln smiled. “Painters, sculptrs-they’ve all tried t make the best f this rdinary face, but I’m afraid there’s nt much hpe. What did yu have in mind, Miss Ream? A bust(半身像)?”
Befre Vinnie culd say yes, the President hurried n, a shade f aplgy in his vice.

The President’s eyes, brightened at her shw f spirit. “Srry, madam, I have underestimated yu as I didn’t knw yur backgrund.”
But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bny fingers, in thught. “Miss Ream,” he sighed, “I’d like t let yu d it, but as yu knw, we are in the middle f a war. Hw culd I pssibly take the time t pse fr a sculpture nw? I hardly have a minute t myself.”
Vinnie glanced arund and nted the size f his ffice. “I wrk quickly,” she said. Her vice was sft but cnfident as she pinted t the crner near the windws. “If I were t bring my clay here and wrk fr three hurs every afternn, I culd cmplete mst f the prject while yu are at yur desk.”
The President seemed t cnsider her idea seriusly. He gt up and shk Vinnie’s hand warmly, “I’ve heard that yu are a talented yung wman, and I have fund yu charming and intelligent as well. I cannt make my decisin immediately, but yu will hear frm me sn.”
