• 2．54-year-old Abdul has a special job.He has been working as a living statue（活体雕像）for over three decades，standing perfectly still for six hours a day and resisting people's attempts to make him move or smile，anything that proves he is a living person.
     Abdul，known as "India's Statue Man"，has been performing his daily routine ever since 1985，soon after getting a job as a security guard.His boss had recently traveled to the UK，where he was so impressed by the statue-like members of the Royal Guard outside Buckingham Palace that he wanted to do something similar back home.So he had his guards receive three months of training，where they would sit perfectly still for around four hours.They weren't allowed to talk or smile，eat，drink，or even shoo away a fly if it sat on their faces.In the end，Abdul proved the best of the group，so he got the strange job.
     Abdul isn't the only person in the world acting as a living statue，but what makes him special is the fact that he can do it for as long as six hours without even blinking his eyes.Once，a ﹩155 prize was put up for anyone who can make him move a muscle.But try as they might，no one has ever succeeded.Actually，Abdul tries to move about as much as he can in his spare time，and only eats healthy home-cooked food，to keep his body in shape.But he claims yoga has been the biggest help.In the 32 years，Abdul has become a famous person in India and other Asian countries.Many Bollywood stars have come to witness this living statue and try to finally make him move，but none have succeeded.
     Abdul earns about 10，000 rupees（﹩156）a month，which is enough to support his family，but definitely not enough to encourage his children to follow in his footsteps.It's just too stressful and taxing on the body. "Despite all the hardship and health problems，I love my job and I am thankful to people for the love and respect they have showered on me." he says， "When the time comes，I want to die playing a statue."

• 3．An Italian company has told staff to stop sending any internal（内部） emails for a week in an effort to reduce stress levels.
     Home textiles company Gabel，based in the northern Como region，appointed an expert to interview its employees about what their main concerns were at work，the local La Provincia di Como website reports.Many said that managing the huge volume of internal emails was a burden during the working day.That pushed the company's management to propose a solution，which -- somewhat ironically -- was sent to all staff in an email.
     "Together we will begin the following experiment，which will take us back in time to when people talked more，" managing director Emilio Colombo wrote，declaring an "email - free" week until 13 November. "We invite you not to use email for internal communications（between colleagues at the same location），in favor of a more direct and immediate contact."
     The company's president，Michele Moltrasio，tells the BBC it hasn't been easy to stop such an "ingrained" practice，temporarily，but that employees have welcomed the challenge. "They are rediscovering the pleasure of meeting and talking rather than writing，" he says.And that includes Mr.Moltrasio，who is avoiding emails along with everyone else. "Even if from next week we all go back to using email，these days of experimentation are very worthwhile，to understand and rethink the methods and pace of working，" he says.
     Several recent studies have found that a high volume of emails raises stress levels at work.In 2013，researchers said that a full inbox led to peaks in people's blood pressure and heart rate.And last year，a study at the University of British Columbia found that limiting email use during the day lowered people's stress levels "significantly."
  
  （1）What did an Italian company do to reduce its employees' pressure at work？

  
  A．Ask its employees not to send emails anymore.
  B．Launch a campaign to stop using emails temporarily.
  C．Ask experts to design a new way of communication.
  D．Interview employees about their concerns at work.
  （2）According to the passage，what does the underlined word mean in paragraph 4？

  
  A．Deep - rooted.
  B．Highly - praised.
  C．Newly - released.
  D．Commonly - seen.
  （3）What can be inferred from the passage？

  
  A．Emails have been an outdated means of communication in the company.
  B．Employees don't communicate with each other so directly as they did in the past.
  C．It is quite easy for employees to stop using emails.
  D．Employees' working stress is due to the large number of emails they deal with every day.
  （4）What is the employees' attitude towards this solution？

  
  A．Negative.
  B．Supportive.
  C．Doubtful.
  D．Reserved.
