Do you talk to a friend?Maybe next time you feel sad, you should try going outside if it is sunny. Doctors know that how much sunlight we get can change how we feel. Scientists learned this by interviewing people who live in different parts of the world. In the far north, in Alaska or Finland, for example, the days are very short in the winter. People living in these places say that they often feel unhappy in the winter. In the south, where there are more daylight hours, fewer people say they are unhappy in the winter. The reason is the amount (数量) of sunlight these people get each day. Sunlight changes the chemicals (化学物) in our bodies, and these chemicals can change the way we feel. A couple of hours of strong sunlight or light from a special lamp can help your body make the chemicals that make us feel happy.Another way to feel happier is to get some exercise. Just like sunlight, regular exercise helps our bodies make certain chemicals, which make us feel happier. In addition, exercise helps people sleep better and lack of sleep often makes people feel unhappy. Exercise also helps you get rid of stress. When you are angry or upset about something, exercise is a good way to get those bad feelings out of you.16. Why do people in the far north feel unhappy more often than people in the south?A. Because they can’t go outside.B. Because they get less sunlight.C. Because the weather is too cold.D. Because the summer is too short.17. How can sunlight change the way you feel?A. On a sunny day, you can play outside.B. Sunlight makes you less tired.C. Sunlight increases your body temperature.D. Sunlight helps your body make certain chemicals.18. What’s the main point of Paragraph 2?A. It is better to live in the south.B. Southern people feel much happier.C. Sunlight can control our feelings.D. Northern people often feel unhappy.19. ________ will not make you feel happier according to the passage.A. Eating moreB. Exercising moreC. Getting more sleepD. Getting more sunlight20. What is the best title for this passage?A. Why Is Sunlight Good for You?B. How Can Exercise Help You?C. Ways to Feel HappierD. Functions of Exercising MoreB“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly greeting that people in the United States use. However, “How are you?” is also an unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks, “How are you?” expects to hear the answer “Fine,” even if the person isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are common ways of saying “hello” or “hi”.Sometimes, people don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?” the other person may be thinking, “No, I don’t. I think you’re wrong.” It isn’t polite to disagree very strongly, so he might say, “I am not so sure.” Th is is a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking to other people. For example, many conversations over the phone end when one person says, “I’ve got to go now,” or the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse such as “Someone is at the door,” or, “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuse may be real, or not. The person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say so. An excuse is polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person’s feelings.Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an opinion, or ending a conversation, people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. This is one way of being nice to people, and it’s a part of the game of language.21. If you have a different idea from that of someone else, it is polite to say “________.”A. You’re wrongB. I’m not so sureC. Of course, I disagreeD. No, I don’t agree with you22. Which of the following is a polite way to finish a conversation?A. I have no time to talk to you now.B. I want to stop talking now.C. I have to go now.D. I don’t want to talk any more.23. According to the passage, when a person says “Something is burning on the stove,” it meansthat ________.A. he is going to prepare an examB. he is interested in the conversationC. he is hurting someone’s feelingsD. he’s giving an excuse to end the conversation24.
