If true,there would be a disturbing 41 trend.Canadian researchers found that people who wrote thank-you letters or performed good deeds for a six-week period decreased their pain,upped their energy,and improved their mental health.And you can 42 these benefits at any age.Old people who choose to be thankful are less likely to worry about their 43 health.
Gratitude tends to be easily spread,as well.Those who are helped are more likely to pay kindness 44 .One study found that when someone is thanked.it more than doubles his or her chances of being 45 again,likely because he or she enjoys feeling socially 46 .
If you aren’t particularly grateful now,you can learn to be.People who keep a journal of three positive things that happen to them each day 47 health-including thankfulness.At first,it may be difficult to 48 the good things that occur.But 49 ,your train gets trained into a more appreciative mode.And in the end,the journal becomes a book of joyful 50 .Gratitude training certainly comes to your aid during the 51 times because a greater appreciation for life is the

If you watch wolves.it’s hard to escape the conclusion that perhaps no two species are more
alike behaviorally than wolves and human. Living as we do in families,we can easily recognize the social structures and status search in wolf packs.No wonder Native Americans recognized in wolves a sibling spirit.And no wonder human males often face pressure to measure up as “alpha” males—to “wolf up,”as it were.The term alpha male indicates a man who at every moment demonstrates that he’s in control in the home and who can become aggressive.
This alpha male stereotype comes from a misunderstanding of the real thing.By observing wolves in free-living packs in Yellowstone National Park,I?ve seen that the leadership of the ranking male is not forced,not domineering,and not aggressive to those on his team.“The main characteristic of an alpha male wolf,” the experienced wolf researcher Rick McIntyre told m e as we were watching gray wolves,“is a quiet confidence,quiet self-assurance.You know what you need to do; you know what?s best for your pack.You lead by example.You?re very comfortable with that.You have a calming effect.”
The point is,alpha males are not aggressive.They don?t need to be.“Think of an emotionally secure man or a great champion.Whatever he needed to prove is already proven,” he said.
There is an evolutionary logic to it.“Imagine two wolf packs,or two human tribes,” McIntyre said.“Which is more likely to survive and reproduce: the one whose members are more cooperative,more sharing,less violent with one another,or the group whose members are beating each other up and competing with one another?”
Thus,an alpha male may be a major player in a successful hunt,but after the takedown of the prey（猎物）,he may step away and sleep until his pack has eaten and is full.
McIntyre has spent 20 years watching and studying wolves in Yellowstone for the National Park Service.He rises early,uses radio telemetry to pinpoint the location of a pack via a radio-collared pack member,then heads out with his spotting scope to observe the animals,keeping careful notes of their activities.
In all that time,he has rarely seen an alpha male act aggressively toward the pack?s other members.They are his family—his mate,offspring (both biological and adopted),and maybe a sibling.
This does not mean that alpha males are not tough when they need to be.One famous wolf in Yellowstone whose radio collar number,21,became his name,was considered a “super wolf” by the people who closely observed the arc of his life.He was fierce in defense of family and
apparently never lost a fight with a rival pack.Yet within his own pack,one of his favorite things was to wrestle with little pups.
“And what he really loved to do was to pretend to lose.He just got a huge kick out of it,” McIntyre said.
One year,a pup was a bit sickly.The other pups seemed to be afraid of him and wouldn?t play with him.Once,after delivering food for the small pups,21 stood looking around for something.Soon he started wagging his tail.He?d been looking for the sickly little pup,and he went over just to hang out with him for a while.
Of all McIntyre?s stories about the super wolf,that?s his favorite.Strength impresses us.But kindness is what we remember best.
Biologists used to consider the alpha male the undisputed boss.But now they recognize two hierarchies at work in wolf packs—one for the males,the other for the females.
Doug Smith,the biologist who is the project leader for the Yellowstone Gray Wolf Restoration Project,said the females “do most of the decision making” for the pack,including where to travel,when to rest,and when to hunt.The matriarch?s（女族长的）personality can set the tone for the whole pack,Smith said.Or,as McIntyre put it: “It?s the alpha female who really runs the show.”
Clearly,our alpha male stereotype could use a corrective makeover.Men can learn a thing or two from real wolves: less snarl,more quiet confidence,leading by example,faithful devotion in the care and defense of families,respect for females,and a sharing of responsibilities.That?s really what wolfing up should mean.
58.What does the “alpha male stereotype” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.That wolves have a sibling spirit
B.That wolves and humans are alike
C.That humans face pressure to be alpha males
D.That alpha males are aggressive and in control home
59.Why is the example of M21 mentioned?
A.To compare it with other super wolves
B.To illustrate that it is Mclntyre?s favorite
C.To prove alpha males are tough if necessary
D.To show how the research was carried out
60.Which of the following images most resembles a real alpha male?
A.A strict father who never smiles at his children
B.A father who does most of the decision making
C.A powerful executive shouting at a board meeting
D.A general who never loses a battle in defense of his country
A.Wolf families
B.Alpha males
C.Supreme bosses
D.The matriarch

Philosophers sometimes pay a high price for standing by their philosophies.
Socrates drank hemlock after being convicted of（被定罪）corrupting the youth of ancient Athens. Civilly （谦恭的）disobedient （不服从的）Henry David Thoreau went to jail rather than pay his taxes.
And Assya and Mario Pascalev,philosophers from Bethesda,Md.,are going without air conditioning.
whom have doctorate degrees in philosophy-declined to pay a monthly $14 fee for refusing installation of a smart meter.They?re sweating out an August heat wave with their two teenage children and their Kerry blue terrier-that is,when they?re not taking refuge at Bethesda?s Hilton Garden Inn.
“We can afford to pay,” Assya Pascalev said of the couple?s power bill,which stands at $634.94 after a two-year battle.“It?s not a matter of money,it?s a matter of principle.”
The couple,whose story was first reported by Bethesda magazine,have put no small amount of thought into their stand.
Many Americans may not have noticed as utilities （公用事业）across the country replaced old-fashioned meters read by humans with smart meters that can be read remotely.
The Pascalevs,scrutinizing their Pepco bill in their home near Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School,did take note-and not just because of a one-time $75 opt-out（撤出）fee that preceded the monthly charge.Mario Pascalev,who works in IT,has an academic paper in the works about moral
issues created by complicated software user agreements.Assya is a Howard University professor who studies biomedical ethics.
“When you have a conscientious objection,it?s a thought process rather than an arbitrary or emotional reaction,” she said.
The first problem with smart meters,according to the Pascalevs: a lack of privacy.The meters,designed to help “maintain your budget and control your energy costs,” according to Pepco?s website,offer too much information to utility companies and those who might hack them.
“Each appliance has a signature and consumes a specific amount of power,” a perspiring Mario Pascalev said as he wiped his brow in the sweltering dining room.“If I am given this information,I would know where you are in the house.”
And there are health and safety considerations,the Pascalevs say.Some argue that smart meters cause fires and are a source of dangerous radiation similar to cellphones and microwaves.The Maryland Public Service Commission,the administrative body that governs Pepco,says such concerns are unfounded.
Jonathan Libber,the president of Maryland Smart Meter Awareness,an anti-smart meter advocacy group,said smart meters were never tested for health effects before being installed altogether.
“We may find 10 to 15 years from now there is a huge spike in childhood leukemia（白血病）,” he said.“What do you say,…We?re sorry??” Citing the preliminary results of a Nat ional Institutes of Health study that may link cellphone radiation to tumors in rats,Libber added: “I would no longer say that these things may be dangerous.I would say they are dangerous.”
“We?re probably more sensitive to limitations on individual liberties,”Assya Pascalev said.Pepco,however,counters that smart meters bring a host of benefits.The meters do n?t just help consumers save money but communicate information about power use and outages（运行中断）that improves customer service.
As Pepco seeks a 10 percent rate increase in Maryland,the family is not alone in its stand against smart meters.Deborah Vollmer of Chevy Chase-known for a seven-year court battle with a neighbor over use of a shared driveway-is refusing to pay opt-out fees and is also financing the Pascalevs?s $200 per night hotel bills.
“Let?s take a deep breath,” said Vollmer,who hasn?t had he r electricity turned off.“Don?t bully us into accepting something that may or may not prove to be beneficial in the long term.”
A.powerful celebrity
https://www.doczj.com/doc/2913242702.html,anization leader
https://www.doczj.com/doc/2913242702.html,ernment authority
D.power company
63.According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?
A.Socrates and Henry David Thoreau paid a high price because they were philosophers
B.That Assya and Mario Pascaley have to live without air conditioning has nothing to do with Assya?s occupation,Howard University professor
C.Assya and Mario Pascalev?s objection is arbitrary and emotional
D.Deborah Vollmer also declined to pay the monthly $14 fee to support Assya and Mario Pascalev
64.Assya and Mario Pascalev have every reason to stand by their philosophies except
A.$634.94 is affordable but unreasonable
B.smart meters offer too much information to utility companies and those who might back them
C.they lay inappropriate emphasis on individual liberties
D.smart meters cause fires and are a source of dangerous radiation
A.long-term benefits for all
B.a 10 percent rate increase in Maryland

Dear Seth,
You?re only three years old,and at this point in your life you can?t read, much less understand what I?m going to try to tell you in this letter.But I've been thinking a lot about the life that you have ahead of you,about my life so far as I reflect on what I've learned,and about my role as a dad in trying to prepare you for the trials that you will face in the coming years.
You are young,and life has not yet to show a cold face to you,to throw disappointments and loneliness and pain into your path.You have not been worn down yet by long hours of thankless work.by the slings and arrows of everyday life.
For this,be thankful.You are at a wonderful time of life.You have many wonderful stages of life still to come,but they are not without their costs and risks.
I hope to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I?ve learned.As with
Life can be cruel
There will be people in your life who won't be very nice.They?ll tease you because you?re different.or for no good reason.They might try to bully you or hurt you.
There?s not much you ca n do about these people except to learn to deal with them,and learn to choose friends who are kind to you,who actually care about you,who make you feel good about yourself.When you find friends like this,hold on to them,treasure them,spend time with them,be kind to them,love them
There will be times when you are met with disappointment instead of success.Life won’t always turn out the way you want.This is just another things you’ll have to learn to deal with.But instead of letting these things get you down,push on.Aecept disappointment and learn to persevere,to oursue your dreams despite pitfalls.Learn to turn negatives into positives,and you’ll do much better in life.
You will also face heartbreak and abandonment by those you love.I hope you don’t have to face this too much,but happens.Again,not much you can do but to heal,and to move on with your life.Let these pains become stepping stones to better things in life,and learn to use them to make you stronger.
But Be Open life Anyway
Yes,you’ll find cruelty and suffering in your journey through life...but don’t let that close you to new things.Don’t retreat from life,don’t hide or wall yourself off.Be open to new things,new experiences,new people.
You might get your heart broken 10 times,but find the most wonderful woman the 11th time.If you shut yourself off from love,you'll miss out on that woman,and the happiest times of your life.
You might get teased and bullied and hurt by people you meet … and then after meeting dozens of jerks,find a true friend.If you close yourself off to new people,and don't open your heart to them,you'll avoid pain … but also lose out on meeting some incredible people,who will
be there during the toughest times of your life and create some of the best times of your life.
You will fail many times but if you allow that to stop you from trying,you will miss out on the amazing feeling of success once you reach new heights with your accomplishments.Failure is a stepping stone to success.
Life isn’t a competition
You will meet many people who will try to do better than you,in school ,in college,at work.They’ll try to have nicer cars,bigger houses,nicer clothes,cooler gadgets.To them,life is a competition--they have to do better than their peers to be happy.
Here’s a secret:Life isn’t a competition. If you spend that journey always trying to impress others,to outdo others,you’re wasting your journey.Instead,learn to enjoy the journey.Make it a journey of Happiness,of constant learning,of continual improvement,of love.
Don't worry about having a nicer car or house or anything material,or even a better-paying job.None of that matters a whit,and none of it will make you happier.You'll acquire these things and then only want more.Instead,learn to be satisfied with having enough-and then use the time you would have wasted trying to earn money to buy those things … use that time doing things you love.
Finally,know that I love you and always will.You are starting out on a weird, scary,daunting,but ultimately incredibly wonderful journey,and I will be there for you when I can.Godspeed.
Love,Your Dad

The loss of handwriting in our high-tech world saddens me.People of all ages openly admit their handwriting as keyboards replace pen and paper.Increasingly,schoolchildren deal with assignments on computer and struggle to write,having had little practice.I am of the generation that learnt to write with a dip pen in kindergarten and a fountain pen in high school; by the time I reached university,like everyone else.I used a functional ballpoint.Handwriting has filled every aspect of my life since I was first taught to shape letters on the lined pages of my exercise books.
From the age of 12,I kept a handwritten journal,recording my thoughts and feelings regarding both the significant and mundane aspects of my life.Through this daily practice I connected with myself,explored experiences and found a way to interpret and make sense of my relationships.Although I rarely reread my written material,the process of writing has remained with me as a means of processing my feelings and filtering（过滤）my experiences.
Yet today,handwritten letters are as rare as a red panda,Few of us write any longer,even to those to whom we are close,We communicate difficulty when we e-mail or text,both methods characterised by speed and informality.The deep thinking which accompanied a handwritten letter.is almost entirely absent.We may be communicating more frequently and with more people,but the depth and quality of our communication has reduced.
Sadly,modern technology tends to be temporary.Few of us keep old e-mails or even print them out,so a sense of history and memory is lost.Archivists（档案管理者）report that more information has been lost in the past decade than in the previous 150 years.It is too easy to press the delete button.
In many other areas of records,material is now in the digital format.Yet saving material in a digital formal only is extremely unstable.How it will survive the future remains a problem.
In this digital world of text,e-mails and instant messaging,the perceived value of writing is no longer obvious and the case for retaining the practice of writing needs to be made.Should we save the bumble pen and paper when laptops and mobilies are functional,universal and unstoppable?Should children continue to be taught to write with a pen and paper?
With its passing.a good mode of self-expression is being lost.I invite readers to engage with handwriting and become aware of this special skill that has created civilization for centuries.

A 5 of art is born from a view or value that the artist holds within himself or herself. They create the art to share that feeling with others, to 6 the viewers to relate to it, learn from it or be 7 by it. The most renowned and successful art today is something that establishes the strongest 8 connection between the artist and their 9 . By contrast, when a designer sets out to 10 a new piece, they almost always have a 11 starting point, whether a message, an image, an idea or an action. The designer’s job isn’t to invent something 12 , but to communicate something that already exists, for a purpose. That purpose is almost always to motivate the audience to do something: buy a product, use a 13 , visit a location, or learn certain information. The most 14 designs are those that most effectively 15 their message and motivate their consumers to carry out a task. 1. A. unique B. separate C. shared D. accepted 2. A. entirely B. occasionally C. hardly D. unnecessarily 3. A. inventors B. designers C. writers D. viewers 4. A. purpose B. product C. interest D. cost 5. A. love B. type C. part D. work
