Passage 2

Relaxation therapy (=treatment). If you read the sentence out loud, your blood pressure will go up. If you talk to another person, it will go still higher. If the talk is with your boss, your pressure will go even higher. If you speak to someone of the opposite sex, your pressure may show less change if you’re married than if you’re single.

Dozens of times each day, your blood pressure changes with what you’re feeling and doing. These “ups and downs” take place in everyone, but they are more severe in people with high blood pressure. That discovery is the basis for the newest therapy: controlling blood pressure by learning skills to control everyday stress.

Many patients control their blood pressure with the relaxation response. This takes four simple things: a quiet environment, a comfortable position(sitting or lying down), the repeating of a word, prayer or phrase each time you breathe and having none of other thoughts.

Something remarkable happens when you do this, according to research in Boston. Relaxation of the mind and body has the effect that some blood-pressure pills would have. What’s more, the blood pressure stays lower, just as it would with a pill, after you have stopped the relaxation and have returned to the stress of daily life. 

34、The first paragraph tells us the reason why your blood pressure goes up is that ______.

我们必须想办法进入敌人的电脑获得情报。(get access to)

它是便宜的，但在另一方面，质量很差。(on the other hand)

结果非常不令人满意，和我们所期望的恰恰相反。(as opposed to)

阅读下面的短文，然后把划线的句子翻译成汉语。

How well is your Web site meeting demand? The question may be more difficult to answer than you think. After all, sophisticated Web monitoring software can measure a sudden spike in traffic, but it won’t correlate that spike with your company’s seasonal marketing efforts. (71) [Business intelligence software unifies data from a wide array of functional areas and departments to provide a holistic understanding of the business.] The result: Managers can predict future spikes in traffic based on the relative size of marketing campaigns.

The first thing to do is capture information about your Web site operations and visitors. Start with the data in your Web log file. Here you will find valuable information about Web traffic patterns, such as peak traffic times and the most accessed pages on your Web site. (72) [You’ll also be able to learn what people search for once they get to your site, as well as the time it takes to find it.]Don’t overlook the value of information such as the type of browser and operating system used by your site visitors — these can affect how you choose to present your site.

(73)[Once you have this data gathered, business intelligence applications let you analyze the information to help you optimize your Web site.] The application unifies data from various sources to help you effectively mine information and understand your customers’ Web behavior.

Most important, you are able to compare information in your Web logs against information from internal and external sources. (74) [Track Web hits or transactions against fluctuations in your offline sales channels, for example, or see what happens to order volumes at the beginning of a fiscal quarter when many departments have new budgets to work with.]

Business intelligence software can be a powerful ally as you seek to keep hard-won customers in the fold. Knowing your customers and understanding how they interact with your Web site is a powerful tool for optimization. (75) [You can glean trends during peak traffic periods that result in server overloads, or identify search criteria that consistently fail to deliver anticipated content.]
