The study found that a person’s happiness depends on th e happiness of people he connects with. Surprisingly, it also found that happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends! And those good feelings seem to have the greatest influence among friends of the same sex (性别).“People with more good friends are less likely to develop depression (情绪低落) and worry,” says Dr. Toupey Luft. “Though you can’t choose your family or workmates, you do have control over friendships.” With a little effort, you can add more positive (正面的,积极的) relationships to your social circle. Here’re the suggestions:“Nobody is all positive or all negative,” says Luft. “But there are people you may feel more positive. Use that as your way to check people and keep records.” When spending time w ith others, pay attention to your feeling. Are you feeling tired and unhappy?To help you keep records, Luft suggests taking a moment when you get home to write down what your feeling is when around them.While it’s great to gather with positive friends, it’s also good to stay with others in the same life situations. “But if you’re all just complaining (抱怨) and nothing is changing, it’s not healthy,” says Luft. Are your friends negative, or are you doing most of the complaining? Considering the answers to these questions can help you decide if you want to stand in front of them. Or you could let the relationship disappear slowly.Sometimes your hobbies can lead to true friendships. Check out newspapers and websites to find a group or class for something you enjoy. These friends can always be there for you and can care each other through difficulties, illness and death.Not into groups? Look for individual (个人的) communication instead. Luft says, “Set small goals, such as having coffee with one new person, and develop friendship according to a plan. If someone suggests going for lunch sometime, set a date.”“If you’re feeling disappointed (失望) with a friend, try talking about what you both need,” says Luft. For example, tell her what you want during hard times in your lives.______________________________________. With some friends you laugh and have fun together at the movies—and that can be enough. With others, you pay attention to your deep connection.1.What does your happiness depend on, according to the passage?A.How people you connect with feel.B.How many friends you have.C.What situation you are in now.D.What kind of friends you have.2.What does the first suggestion want us to do?A.To measure our happiness.B.To check people around.C.To join a group for hobbies.D.To leave negative friends.3.Which of the following is true?A.We often have many friends during good times but few during hard times.B.It’s necessary to complain about something but not right to do so for long.C.Joining a group can bring better friendship than making individual friends.D.All the suggestions tell us to add positive relationship to our social circle.4.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that ______.A.when your friend is sad, you should call her upB.when your friend leaves you, you need comfortC.friends’ needs may be quite different sometimesD.people may behave differently during hard timesB14、________________________This specially designed dress looks like a normal dress,but if you unfold it and cover yourself,you may look like a Coca Cola vending machine(自动售货机). Because there are many vending machines like that on the street,it must be easy for you to hide.If you feel that someone is following you or there is some danger,you can disappear within five seconds.But don’t use it to scare your classmates.That’ll be rude._________________The M-Dress is a nice black dress.It is also a mobile phone.It accepts a standard SIM card and allows the wearer to receive calls without carrying an actual(真实的) phone in their pocket or purse.You just need to bring your hand to your ear when you want to answer a phone call.When you finish talking and____your hand,the call will close.It is fashionable and useful.But it will certainly be an embarrassing moment when your dress rings in public._____________You will love these air-cooled jackets in summer time when it is very hot outdoors.The jacket has fans that draw air in.The fan is powered by an inside battery.Now it is possible to spend nearly every second of your day with cool air.1.What’s the main purpose of the first dress?A.To protect the wearer.

Donna walked into the classroom. “ Good afternoon, everybody !” That was a joke Donna told every day. Usually the class started with only two or three students in the classroom, and then the other students came as the minutes went by.Donna knew that the students didn’t like studying English. The head teacher had told her the reason. The students thought English was confusing.Donna waited until all the students were sitting in their seats. She s miled and said, “ Okay, well. Let’s get started. Please turn to Page 36. Today we’re studying participles as adjectives(分词作形容词). Students often feel confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we need to practice a lot. Today, we’re just going to practice using present participles as adjectives.” Donna looked at all the blank faces around the classroom. Then she wrote two sentences on the blackboard.“ The present participle tells us what kind of emotion the subject(主语)is causing. For example, when we say‘grammar is boring’, we mean that the subject—grammar —causes an emotion of boredom. If we say, ‘The movie is interesting’, we are saying that the movie causes an emotion of interest. Any questions so far ? Is anyone confused ? ”The classroom was quiet. Donna knew it would take some time for everyone to understand what she was talking about. After a while, Donna got a little excited because she saw looks of understanding on some of the students’ faces.1.When did the story take place ?A.On a spring morning.

Which part of the magazine is the writing most probably from?A News Corner. B. Travelling SquareC Language World. D. Technology GardenBWe use elevators all the time, but try and imagine life without them. Tall buildings wouldn't be possible without the invention of the elevator. It's convenient and safe. but did you know that long ago people were afraid of using elevators?People had been using ropes to move things for thousands of years before the invention of the modern elevator. The ancient Romans moved heavy things attached (系) to ropes pulled by people or animals. Then in 1743, the French king had a “flying chair”. His men lifted the king up to the second floor by using ropes. Although elevators had been improving over time, people were afraid to use them. People liked the idea of an elevator, but they believed it might suddenly fall.In 1853, Elisha Otis invented the modem elevator. He made safety brakes( 刹车) to stop the elevator from falling. Otis had been thinking about peoples fear of elevators. He decided to do an elevator act at a show in 1854. Otis stood on his elevator and cut the rope that was holding it. The elevator fell, but the safety brakes suddenly stopped it. Otis amazed the audiences! Three years later, customers at a department store in New York could travel to the fifth floor by using an Otis elevator.The next step was to improve the elevator ride. People had been feeling nervous about using elevators because they were small and noisy. In the 1920s, elevators started playing relaxing music to cover up other sounds. Then there was a great idea to put mirrors in elevators. The mirrors made the elevator seem bigger and quicker. People could check their hair instead of fearing the elevator!These days, elevators aren’t scary. Elevators are getting faster, and office buildings, apartments and hotels aregetting higher. You can find Otis elevators in most cities around the world. Remember to enjoy your ride in the elevator when you’re going up to the thirty-fifth floor!19. What is the correct order in which these happened?①An Otis elevator was first put into use in New York.②People used to move heavy things by pulling ropes.③Otis elevators can be found in most parts of the world.④Flying chair was once used to lift a king to the second floor.A. ②④③①B. ②④①③C. ③①②④D. ①②④③20. Why did Otis do an elevator show in 1854?A. To tell why it takes a lot of time to develop a new thing.B. To show how safe his elevators are with the safety brakes.C. To explain why safety brakes can be well used in any show.D. To check how hard it is for people to accept something new.21. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A. Relaxing music makes the ride in the elevator seem quicker.B. The elevators are made small enough to let people feel safe.C. Mirrors are fixed inside to make the elevators look brighter.D. The noise in the elevator used to make people feel anxious.22. What is the passage mainly about?A. Elevators have been developing over time.B. People used to be afraid of using elevators.C. Modern elevators were invented by accident.D. Elevators are very popular all over the world.CAs the weather changes from day to day, sometimes it's impossible to avoid catching a cold or the flu. However, that doesn't mean we have to suffer terribly. Since the only way to get better from a cold is to go through the process, many natural remedies (疗法) have helped to reduce the symptom (症状) of the common cold.If you feel the cold, you should drink something warm. Add honey and lemon to hot water or tea. You will keep warm while you're drinking tea. In traditional Chinese medicine, ginger (姜) has been used for over two thousand years. A cup of ginger tea helps to increase the blood move and make you sweat through your body.Garlic (大蒜) is a super food. Garlic helps to fight off germs (细菌) when eaten daily. It can reduce the number of colds you get each year and shorten cold symptoms. If you don't mind eating uncooked garlic, it's best to eat a few pieces every three to four hours when you feel the first signs of a cold.It's no secret that salt gets rid of germs. For a sore throat, mix about half a teaspoon of salt into warm water and use as a mouthwash. Whether it's for breakfast, lunch or dinner, the Japanese enjoy umeboshi, sour and salty apricots(杏子) that help keep the doctor away. Using a neti pot is an old practice from India that helps people breathe better. As a mixture of salt and water pours into the nose, the germs are cleared away.Although cutting an onion can make you cry, it's good for a blocked nose. People in Mexico and Spain eat hot peppers to get their sense of smell back temporarily during a cold. Of course, you'd better be ready to experience a wave of heat! In Korea, kimchi is a popular side dish that keeps people healthy. It's made from pickle vegetables, red hot sauce and sometimes garlic and ginger.It is common to have a cold, and Mother Nature’s remedies will be there for you to lower your pain when you need to fight against that cold!23. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?24. The underlined word "It" in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.A. the garlicB. the germC. the coldD. the symptom25. The passage mainly wants to tell us that ________.A. people can catch a cold and the flu in many waysB. natural remedies are helpful when people catch coldsC.

According to the passage, we can learn that ________.A. a neti pot is always used to keep warmB. ginger is newly found to be good for healthC. kimchi is a main dish made from vegetablesD. umeboshi is salty and sour apricots Japanese likeDLiz Moore is a writer of novels. Her first novel, The Words of Every Song (Broadway Books,2007), centers on a fictional record company in New York City. It draws partly on Liz’s own unhappy experiences as a musician. It was selected for Border’s Original V oice program. Roddy Doyle wrote of it. “This is an excellent novel and beautifully constructed (构想). I loved the book.”After the publication (出版) of her debut novel, Liz got her Master of Fine Arts in novel from Hunter College. In 2009, she moved to Philadelphia.Her second novel, Heft, was published by W.W. Norton in January 2012. Of Heft, The New Yorker wrote, "Moore’s characters are lovingly drawn... a truly unusual voice.” The San Francisco Chronicle wrote, “Few novelists of recent memory have put our unwelcoming loneliness into words as clearly as Liz Moore does in her new novel”, and editor Sara Nelson wrote, “Beautiful… Superbly sad and heroically hopeful.” The novel was published in five countries and it was included on several “Best of 2012”lists, including the Apple iBookstore.Moore’s short novels have appeared in places such as Tin House and New York Times. After winning a 2014 Rome Prize in Literature, she spent 2014-15 at the American Academy in Rome, completing her third novel.The Unseen World, was published by W.W. Norton in July of 2016. It is about a moving story of a daughter's search to discover the truth about her beloved father’s hidden past.

Some parents are worried too---for example,Vanessa Holburn,thirty-two,who has two girls under the age of four.Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy. " Pink says that you are soft and gentle.Blue says that you are strong and powerful.I want my daughters to be strong and powerful.I'm worried that pink will not help them with that," she says.But not everyone thinks there's something wrong with pink.Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn't worried at all. "People forget that things change all the time," he says. "My girls used to love pink when they were little,but as they get older,they change." Turner explains that his twelve-year-old daughter never wears pink clothes anymore. "This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change," he adds. " It's only since the 1940s that people have started dressing girls in pink---before that it was a color for boys."8. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?______A. AB. BC. CD. D9. The underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 means ______ .A. being soft and gentleB. being strong and powerfulC. being gentle but powerfulD. being cute and beautiful10. According to Grayson Turner,______ .A. parents needn't worry about pink toysB. all little kids love the color pinkC. pink has always been a color for girlsD. his girls now prefer the color blue11. The purpose of this passage is to ______ .A. explain why girls are crazy about the color pinkB. make parents less worried about the color pinkC. encourage girls to give up playing with pink toysD. show people's different opinions about the color pinkDThere is a glass on the table,filled up halfway with water.How would you describe the glass:half empty or half full If your answer was "half full",then prepare yourself for an exciting life in which anything is possible.If you said "half empty" on the other hand,you might just fail to do something or be worried about your life.It may sound crazy,but that's the power of positive(积极的)thinking! Experts believe that positive thinking has several important benefits(好处).First,it can make us feel happy about our life.If someone focuses on all of the good things that they have,he is much less likely to feel bad about his pare that to someone who's always talking about the bad side of any situation,the positive thinker will be the happier of the two.Positive thinking can also improve our health.One study showed that it takes shorter to recover(恢复)from diseases for people with positive thinking while it takes longer for those who are always in depressing feeling.Also,people who are highly stressed are easier to catch a cold and the flu. Another benefit is that positive thinking can influence the world around us.In the 2006 book The Secret,author Rhonda Byrne describes a "law of attraction".This law is according to the idea that positive thinking attracts positive things.If you think about a new sports car,you might just get one. Positive thinking may improve our minds,bodies,and even the world,but how do we get started?According to Richard Wiseman,an expert of psychology(心理学),the best way to change how we think is to change our behavior.He believes that if someone practices smiling every day,he or she will think happier thoughts.12. What does it mean if you describe a half glass of water "half full"?______A. You may fail to do something.B. Your life may sound crazy.C. You may have an exciting life.D. Your life may be impossible.13. What does the underlined word "depressing" in Para.3 probably mean?______A. Bright.B. Similar.C. Upset.D. Normal.14. What does Para.5 mainly talk about?______A. The idea of positive thinking.B. The way to start positive thinking.C. The benefits of positive thinking.D. The way to improve positive thinking.15. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?______A. People with stress are difficult to get ill.B. Positive thinkers are more likely to feel sad.C. There are two benefits of positive thinking.D. Positive thinking might bring you what you want.16. Communication between people of different cultures is more important than ever.Most people now understand how important it is to know something about different cultures and languages.Here is some advice to improve communication between people of different cultures.(1)______It is very important to communicate your ideas and purpose clearly.Make sure there are no mistakes by speaking clearly and not too fast.(2)______After each of your questions,wait for the other side to speak.In an everyday conversation,this can seem strange.But in cross-cultural situations,this style makes the conversation much easier.(3)______It can be very difficult to speak English very well.If the people you are speaking with are having trouble finding the right words,you can support them.Tell them not to be shy in communication.

阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项AMany social study books and articles have graphs to go with the text. A graph is a kind of picture that shows amounts or numbers at a glance. A graph can show the same information that is in the text, but it helps you "picture" the information and makes it easier to understand and quicker to read. A circle graph, also called a pie graph, is divided into slices. It shows how the parts fit into the whole. Here are some suggestions on how to readit.Step 1: Read the title to find out what the graph is about. The circle graph below showsthe population of Washington, D.C.Step 2: Look at the slices. This graph has seven "slices". Each shows one group of people. You can see how each part compares to the whole-how each group compares tothe total population.Step 3: Use the label (标签) to find out what is being compared. The labels on the graph name the groups of people who live in Washington, D.C. A line connects thecorresponding(相应的) part of the graph.Step 4: Read the introduction to the graph. The passage beside the graph may offersome more detailed information of the topic.1.Where is a graph most probably used according to the writer?A.An invitation letter to a birthday party.B.An introduction of the steps to plant treesC. A fairy tale of an old man moving the hill.D. A study on different ways to spend holidays2.Which group of people makes up more than half of the population of Washington, D.C.?A. Caucasian.B. MixedC. LatinoD. African American.3. What does the writer suggest doing with the slices?A. Joining the different slices.B. Mixing the slices and information.C. Comparing the slices to the whole.D. Matching the slices and numbers.4. The writer organizes this writing by _____.A. giving an exampleB. asking a questionC. listing reasonsD. telling a storyBJewellery(珠宝) makerMy grandma loved knitting(编织) and I remember watching her make tiny clothes for my dolls when I was young. Then, when I was a little older, she taught me to knit myself. I used to make crazy clothes that were the envy(嫉妒) of all my friends. Then I started working in a busy office and didn't really have time to do what I loved most. My job wasn't creative at all. That's why I decided to learn something new and I went to a jewellery-making workshop. Immediately, I was interested and I made lots of earrings and necklaces. I set up a little online shop and got some praise from my new customers. It was slow and very hard but I've managed to run a business that provides me with a decent income to live on. I know some people struggle to find work that they enjoy, so I am fortunate that my hobby has become my job.From Ethel Garcia Kiteboarding teacherI've spent my life in the water and I was first hired as a sailing instructor(指导) when I was eighteen in the summer before going to university, just as a holiday job. They had just started offering kiteboarding and I loved the idea of having a go at teaching it. Luckily, I picked it up straight away. The sport became really popular at the center and I loved my job so much that I made up my mind to stay on there full-time rather than go to university. I soon became an expert and found myself working on a water sports magazine as an editor and gave up teaching the sport. This meant I had plenty of free time to travel and try out new places to do kiteboarding. I sometimes wonder what I'd be doing now if I had gone to university. But I love what I do and there's no going back.From Barrett Rogers5. The underlined expression "a decent income" probably means "______".A. enough moneyB. a certain feelingC. a certain feelingD. plenty of free time6.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Ethel succeeds in getting herself a creative job at last.B. Ethel's friends think her clothes are strange and awful.C. Barrett prefers being a sailing instructor to being an editor.D. Barrett thinks teaching kiteboarding can only be a part-time job.7. What can we infer from both passages?A. Friends play an important part in taking up hobbies.B. It is pleasant and lucky to turn hobbies into jobs.C. One will regret giving up his study when he was young.D.Working in busy offices helps us to achieve our dreams.CThe advice to "let go" of negative(消极的) feelings is repeated in yoga classes and self-help books. Now a new study suggests it really brings lasting health advantages. Those who had a hard time getting over daily troubles had more physical health problems ten years later.If you are likely to think over daily troubles-running through every "what if" and "if only"-it makes you feel that's a big deal Maddux said, "You probably find you feel even worse after a night of thinking. If that cycle is repeated over time, it will wear you down."The study results are based on 1,155 people who took part in a national health study. Each day, the people described their feeling changes over the past 24 hours. By the 10-year mark, only 17 percent of the people were free of physical health conditions, and only 20 percent were satisfied with their physical strength(力量). But those who always said they had negative feelings because of daily troubles were more likely to have physical problems. The finding shows people are likely to have bad feelings for a longer time for many reasons. For some people, worries or anger could drive it. Many others naturally have a more nervous feeling or are likely to think over and over again. But even if you are born to be negative, that can be changed."Yes, it's hard to 'let go'," Leger side. But people can develop that skill through practice, in which you train the mind to pay attention to the present, rather than worries about the past.

It made the shoes off his feet. Justin's mom had to catch his feet to stop the "monster" from taking him. Justin had just come face-to-face with a tornado(龙卷风), one of nature's strongest storms. They can reach speeds of more than 25 mph.During a tornado, the whole neighborhood can be destroyed. Tornadoes destroy houses, pull trees from the ground, and throw cars and trucks several hundred yards away through the air. People are hurt and even killed.The deadly weather can catch many Americans off guard. Tornadoes in the United States happen mostly in spring and summer and often touch down in "tornado alley", an area between central Texas and Nebraska.Generally, tornadoes develop one at a time, but sometimes there can be a large number of them. Here are the steps how tornadoes form.Tornadoes are born of strong thunderstorms. When warm, wet air pushes through cool, dry air, the cool air pushes the warm air up. High clouds form.Dry air then blows in from another direction. The wind starts to spiral(螺旋).As the wind grows stronger, air rushes in from all sides at high speed. It forms afunnel(漏斗).As the tornado gets stronger, the funnel stretches and becomes longer. Finally, it touches the ground.As one of nature's strongest storms, tornadoes are really powerful. How can we live through the deadly weather? Quick thinking helps many people go through deadly weather.A tornado in Van Wert, Ohio, blew the top off a movie theater just minutes after a showing.No one was hurt because the theater manager had been warned of the tornado by a tornado warning system.

AWe all know what it’s like to get that phone call in the middle of the night. That night’s call was no different. “Hello” My heart beat hard.“Mama” The voice answered. My thoughts immediately went to my daughter.“Mama, I’ve been drinking. I nearly ran o ff the road a few miles back. All I could think of was if it would hurt you if a policeman came to your door and said I’d been killed. I want to come home. I know running away was wrong. I know you’ve been worried. I should have called you days ago but I was afraid.”My senses were clear now, “I think……”“No! Please let me finish!” She cried hopelessly. Before I could go on, she continued. “Are you still there please don’t hang up on me! I need you.”“I’m here, I wouldn’t hang up,” I said.“I know I should have told you. But, when we talk, you just keep telling me what I should do. You don’t listen to me. You never let me tell you how I feel. Because you’re my mother you think you have all the answers. But sometimes I don’t need answers. I just want someone to listen.”“I’m listening,” I answered quietly.“I called a taxi. I’m coming home, Mama.” There was a click, and the phone went silent.Tears forming in my eyes, I walked into my 16 -year -old daughter’s room. I wiped the tears.“We have to learn to listen,” I said to my husband.He studied me for a second, and then asked, “Do you think she’ll ever know she got the wrong number”I looked at our sleeping daughter, and then back at him. “Maybe it wasn’t such a wrong number.”16.

If it is a short play, there will be ______characters appearing on the stage.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. five18. The relationship between girl and the writer is____________.A. relativesB.

Look after her daughter betterB. be a good listener to her daughterC. talk to her daughter more oftenD. be never angry with her daughterBDad hurried to get home before dark so he could go for a run, but he had forgotten to wear his safety belt— a mistake75% of the US population make every day. Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father," But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead." The big question is why so many people drive cars without wearing safety belts.There have been many misunderstandings about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars about forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.Number One: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour.Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver will hit himself on the front window of the car with a hard force, it feels like diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.Number Two: Safety belts "trap(困住)"people in cars. So if the cars are burning or sinking in water, it’s difficult for people to move.Truth: Sorry, but studies show that if people are not wearing safety belts, they are easy to be knocked unconscious(昏迷). So they will have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to have a clear head to free free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.Number Three: It's best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.Truth: Sorry again, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. Studies show that chances of dyingafter a car accident are twenty-five times greater when people are "thrown clear."21. From the first paragraph the writer want to __________.A. discuss the US population.B. express a daughter’s love.C. show a problem of drivingD. introduce main characters.22. The picture which means “safety belt” is _________.23.

Some worked for computer companies .Some had just graduated from high school, and somejust loved playing with electronics .They were all excited about the possibilities of the personal computer.____________After six months the group grew 100 members.Meetings were held in a spirit of fun and discovery .The people in the group didn’t care about making money. They just wanted to share their ideas—and computers parts—freely. They hoped that their dream of making low cost home computers would come true for common people.Without being prevented by the group’s fun-loving nature, many members went on to achieve great things. One of the youngest, Bob Lash, went on to invent several electronic medical machines. Another member, John Draper, developed one of the first word–processing programs. Somewhat in the Homebrew crowd sat perhaps its most famous member, Steve Wozniak. The young engineer seldom spoke during meetings .But when he first shared his idea for the Apple I computer, everyone paid attention. This computer helped point the way toward the future of low-cost, personal computers. And, of course, it resulted in Wozniak forming a partnership with the talented Steve Jobs.Although the Homebrew Computer Club stopped meeting in 1986, its influence lives on .Thanks to the Homebrew Computer Club, agreat number of people today enjoy the convenience of personal computers.26.
