Studies show that it does-when people at the poverty level are suddenly paid more. Other studies also show that people who lose the money they are used to having become very unhappy. But the most important thing seems to be that people are happiest when they make more than other people. Perhaps one secret of happiness is just to think about people who don’t have as much money as you. Sadly, however, the opposite is also true. When you compare yourself to friends and neighbors who have higher incomes, this may make you unhappy.Poor people need enough food to feed themselves but what happens when people suddenly become prosperous (富有的)? This is the case in China right now where people have become much better off, but can only have one child. The result is an army of “little emperors”: fat, spoiled children. A child measures happiness in love, not food, and there’s nothing good about overfeeding a child.Richard Layard, director of the London School of Economics, says, “The six key factors now scientifically established to affect happiness most are: mental health, satisfying and secure work, a secure and loving private life, a safe community (社区), freedom, and moral values (道德观).” It is quite interesting that only one of these has to do with making money. People who realize this think that it is better to be paid in something other than money, for example, time. Many people are now starting to take time off in different ways. Rather than saving up their vacations for a rushed trip once a year, people are taking a day or so here and there to have smaller, quieter vacations. In some cases, people are going in the other direction and taking vacations of several months or even a year. On these vacations, they don’t generally just lie on a beach. Instead, they might volunteer in another country or learn a new skill like a foreign language.( )11.

Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Being rich is only good for rich people.B. People in China are much better off now.C. A child measures happiness in love, not food.D. Money is only one of the six factors affecting happiness.( )15. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A.

The husband worked day and night but with no care of his wife. So she thought, “He doesn’t love me any more; he just thinks about his work.”One day, she want ed to take a shower, but her husband stopped her at the door. “Let me take it first, OK?” “Why not let me take it first?” she asked. “I’m tired, dear.

However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.◆Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who say s "Hi! I'm Carlos," don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name. Say"____"◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.◆Write out what you n eed to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, b efore you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that clay.◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory. ( )6. How many suggestions are mentioned in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.( )7.

Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers."It's been such a surprise," said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student at the university in Shanghai. "It has given us one more motivation to finish our food. "The measure(措施) is part of a national "eat-up" campaign(行动) which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses(校园).Why only on campuses, you might ask? Because according to a report by Xinhua News Agency, students waste twice as much food as the national average(平均).The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country."The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle," said Tao Siliang, secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.But some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it."I'm glad that we've reduced food waste since the 'eat-up' campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service and food standard on campuses." said Tao.( )11.

That was the most beautiful soundthat I had ever heard.I decided that I would catch a baby mockingbird and keep it ina cage(笼子). That way I would have my own songbird.I finally caught one and put it in a cage. At first, the baby bird was scared and tried to get out of the cage, but finally it became quiet in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to hearing beautiful songs from my own songbird.I left the cage out in our backyard. On the second day my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in its mouth. The baby bird ate everything its mother brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed its baby.The following morning when I went to see what my pet was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened? I had taken good care of my little bird.Later, A friend of my father told me, “ when a mother mockingbird finds its baby in a cage, it will bring the baby poisonous(有毒的) food. It thinks it’s better for its child to die than to live in the cage.”Since then I have never caught another bird.( )1. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The countryside.B.

One reason is that when gift-cardholders go to the store, they often see other things to buy, and theyspend more money than the gift card is worth. Unused cards are anotherreason. Stores make millions of dollars because large numbers ofpeople never use their cards. They either lose them, forget about them, or decide that it’s not worth the effort.Gift card are becoming very popular in many countries around the world. In the US, they are one of the most popular kinds of gifts. Why? People love the convenience--- gift cards are easy to buy and easy to use, either in the store or online. The recipient can choose his or her own gift and the giver does not have to worry about finding just the right thing.Receiving a gift card, however, is not the same as receiving a gift. A real gift is a better reminder of the person who gave it. The message of a real gift is more likel y to be, “I spend some time trying to find the right gift for you because I care about you.” Often a gift card does not send the same message as a real gift. It may seem to say, “I was in a hurry. I didn’t have time to think about what you would really lik e.”In today’s world, gift cards are certainly convenient. However, they can make us forget the real purpose of giving gifts, which is to build a closer connection between the gift-giver and the gift-recipient.( )6. How many reasons are given to explain why gift cards are big money makers for stores ? A.One B.Two C.Three D.Four( )7.What does the underline word “recipient” mean in Chinese?A.商家 B.顾客 C.发行者 D.接受者( )8. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. Why gift cards are popular in the US.B. Different kinds of gift cards.C. Where to buy gift cards.D. How to use gift cards.( )9. What message does a gift card send according to the writer?A. I care about you.B. I know you like the gift cards.C. I couldn’t find the right gift for you.D. I didn’t have time to buy you a real gift.( )10. Which of the following is the writer’s opinion?A. It’s easy for people to l ose gift cards.B. Gift cards are better than real gifts.C. Gift cards help people save money.D. Real gifts can bring people closer.CAs we all know, the situation of school violence(校园暴力) most appears in high school, because the students are in the age of rebellious phase(叛逆期). But recently, the school violence situation is increasing rapidly with a trend of small age among primary and secondary school students. The reason why students become more aggressive than before, I think both parents and school are lay responsibility at this.In the first place, some parents spoiled their child so much that they won’t let other childto hurt their baby a little bit. And they always teach their child to strive for what they want,but they usually d idn’t tell them the exactly right way to achieve their goal. As a result, child chooses the most direct way to get what they want, like use violence. This is a consequence (结果)that kids doing something without their parent are the right guidance.In the second place, most schools focus on the teaching quality too much; hence, they ignore(忽略,无视) the mental(心理) growth of the students. Compare to the student achievement,the bully case(欺凌事件) really doesn't seem so important, as long as it is not so serious.As a matter of fact, the abuser(施暴者) will become more violent if no one stops them, at the same time, the victim(受害者) will become weaker or they might also become an abuser to bullythe one who are weaker than them.People think that parents should be there to educate their children strictly and teach themto respect others and be friendly to others. Spoiling children is killing the children slowly.But in China,it doesn’t seem that school has the best way to deal with the school violence,teachers only educate the abusers by persuasion and education.Some laws like The Law of the Protection of Juveniles and Compulsory Education Law make the society and the school have few ways to punish the abusers and they become more violent. We agree to protect the juveniles ,but to those abusers who make the school violence, People strongly appeal (呼吁) our government should make the strict laws to stop school violence .( )11.Where is the school violence situation increasing rapidly recently?A. In high schoolB. Among primary and secondary school students.C. In every familyD. Between children and parents( )12.What will the abuser be like if no one stop them from the school violence?A. Become more violentB. Become weakerC. Become friendlierD. Become better and better( )13.How to stop the school violence?A. Parents should guide their children rightlyB. School pay more attention to the mental growth of the studentsC. Our government should make more strict lawsD. All above( )14.What should you do if you are bullied by problem students?A. Don’t be scared,protect yourself and tell teachers or parents at once or call the policeB. Become an abuser to bully othersC. Keep it to yourselfD. Tell your friends to fight with them( )15.What is the best title for the passage?A. How to educate childrenB. Make the strict laws to have the good childrenC. Stop school violenceD. Parents should be reponsible阅读理解(四)AJack was a hardworking businessman. He worked as a manager in a big company. He was responsible for the sales department. He was so busy that he sometimes took work home to do.One day, Jack had to prepare for the meeting, so he took some work home to complete. While he was working, his 5-year-old son, Tim, came to talk to him every few minutes. He had to stop working and he couldn't focus. After several such breaks, Jack got an idea. He found there was a map of the world in the evening paper. He showed the map to Tim. Then he cut it into pieces and told Tim to put the map together again. He thought this would keep Tim busy for a long time and he could complete his work. However, in about 4 minutes, Tim excitedly told Jack he had finished the task. Jack was surprised and asked the boy how he had done it so quickly. Tim said, "There is a picture of a man on the other side of the newspaper. So, I just turned it over and put the man together.

They hope their children can stay away from smartphones.Jiang Yixing, 14, from Nanjing, supports the parents’ opinion. He uses a dumbphone (非智能机) and finds that its functions (功能) are enough for him to use. Jiang once said many students spent much time on games and QQ with their smartphones. He also said, “If students use smartphones, they may often listen to music, surf the Internet or do some other things on the phone. They will get distracted from their studies. As students, we don’t need to use smartphones.”But Chen Yujie, 14, from Ningbo, doesn’t think so. She thinks that she can’t live without smartphones. She said, “Smartphones are useful. I often use my phones to surf the Internet, chat with my friends and get the latest news. It opens my eyes.”Smartphones have good points and bad points. The key to the problem is how to use smartphones wisely. In fact, it is a test of students’ self-control. Zhang Yan, 13, from Xi’an, understands the p oint well. She said, “I put my phone out of my sight when I am studying. I also set a time limit of about 15 minutes when I use it every time. I follow these rules, so the smartphone doesn’t influence my study.”( ) 6. ________ supports the parents’ op inion.A. Jiang YixingB. Chen YujieC. Zhang YanD.

Chen Yujie uses her phone to do the following things EXCEPT ________.A. surfing the InternetB. chatting with her friendsC. getting the latest newsD. playing online games( ) 10. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. It’s about the differences betw een smartphones and dumbphones.B. It’s about students’ opinions of using smartphones.C. It’s about how parents deal with the problem of smartphones.D. It’s about what teachers think of smartphones.CHave you noticed your life becoming a little easier?Now, when you go to a certain shopping mall, you can enjoy its free Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one with your phone. In fact, all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city.The idea of a smart city was brought up by US companyIBM in 2010. Generally, a smart city is a city thatuses digital(数字的) technologies such as theInternet to improve city planning, save money andresources, and make our life convenient. How smartcan a city be? Here are great examples that we canlearn from.In 2009, Dubuque became the first smart city in the US. The city used smart water meters to take the place of traditional water meters. They can detect(探测)water waste and leakage(泄漏)and send data to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like electricity and natural gas. This way, people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste.Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone immediately shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival times. The government organized a research team and provided an App(应用程序)that collects data on almost everything: light, temperature, and the movements of cars and people. Opening the App near a supermarket provides immediate information on special offers.( ) 11.According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT?A. Digital technologies are used in smart cities.B. An English company first raised the idea of a smart city.C. A smart city is mainly made up of free Wi-Fi and phones.D. A smart city is still an idea and hasn’t come into being.( ) 12.The underlined word “convenient” is the closest in meaning to _____.A. usefulB. normalC. suitableD. easy( )pared to traditional water meters, smart water meters do better in____ .。

In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea. In China, for example, tea is always served when people get together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or in teahouses. They prefer their tea plain, with nothing else in it. Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called a tea ceremony (仪式). This tea ceremony is very old and full of meaning. In the ceremony, everything must be done in a special way. There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes. Another tea-drink country is England. In England, the late afternoon is “teatime”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with cream and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and little sandwiches at teatime. In the United States, people like to drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. The tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots.

七选五文章(1)What makes a group smart and able to solve problems successfully and produce good solutions? Oh, we may ask: what makes a group intelligent? A group’s IQ (智商), we might think, would be simply the average intelligence (平均智力) of the group’s membe rs, or perhaps the intelligence of the g roup’s smartest member. ___1___A group’s intelligence comes out from communications that go on within group. A group’s intelligence can be calculated, and like the IQ grades of a single person, and it can predic t the group’s performance on lots of kinds of tasks perfectly. Just like a single person’s intelligence can be trained and developed.__2___. Here are some suggestions on how to guide the development of smart groups:___3___ The smartest groups are made up of people who are good at reading one another’s social signs. ___4___Groups who take the time to discuss how they will work together are more well-organized and successful.As a group member, it is also very important for you to share (分享) the floor in the formal (正式的) meetings. The members who just control the discussion or who stay away and don’t say much make the intelligence of the group lower. But in the smart group, members connect directly with each other, not just with group leader. ____5___ Outside of formal meetings, the smartest groups spend a lot of time communicating, too. All members can have a coffee break at the same time, leading them to do their work more professionally and feel more pleased with their jobs.(2)Tigers are fierce animals. They are the bosses of the Asian jungles with their cleverness, quickness and strength. ______As a mother, the Chinese-American writer Amy Chua is definitely a tiger. Her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother (虎妈战歌) tells of the strict upbringing she gave her two children. ______ Her kids were not allowed to watch TV or play video games. They were not allowed to "hang out" with other kids after school. They hadto be the top students in their classes. And they had to practice the piano and violin for hours every day. ______ She admits this caused a lot of tears and anger but she has few regrets (后悔).Chua says, like her, most Asian mothers are tigers because they believe their children can achieve a lot if they're pushed hard enough. ______ They care more about their children's self-esteem (自尊). They don't want to push their kids too hard for fear of hurting their feelings. American mothers encourage their children to find their own path.So, is a tiger mom better than a pussycat? Perhaps it depends on the differences between Asian and Western cultures. _______ Some kids need to be pushed while others respond to a gentler hand. To growl or to purr? There is no easy answer.A.Mothers should be tigers instead of pussycats.B.As a result, her kids became successful.C.She says American mothers are really pussycats.D.It’s not possible for the kids to be perfect.E.It may also depend on the child himself.F.She thinks that being strict is the only way to develop a child's potential (潜力) and to make them strong, independent and successful.G. A pussycat, on the other hand, is a homebody that comforts us with its gentle warmthand calms us with its purring.(3)Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? This article will describe a typical (典型的) high school and its students.A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. ___1_____When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather loan(租借) than buy them. Students must pay back if they lost any of them.____2_____They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver’s exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, math, English and social studies.____3____In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special classes: health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. ___4____There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.____5_____After school more than half of the students are involved in after-school activities. These activities include sports-especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.(5)Saying no starts small'All right then-just one more piece…' Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake.___1___It isn't just girls. Most of us find it hard to say 'no' to something attractive, however, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people's lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow(圆形软糖) now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes.____2____ Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives._____3_____Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems. But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology(心理学) professor(教授) told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles. -____4_____You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.____5______Don't try to do too many things at the same time, or when you don't have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge(恢复) your willpower with a good night's sleep and by eating well.(6)Making a good job choice is almost as good as choosing a good life. ___ For my job, there are three important things that I will consider:The first one - that I must work in an area I like - is most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't have to work another day.________ I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do.The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems._______ In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. ________When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work.I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. _________Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice. A good choice will most probably lead to a better life.(7)Let’s suppose it is a common day of 2060. ________ Trips to the moon are being made every day.Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in the 2010’s. At a number of scenery sport(风景胜地) on the moon, many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. ________What are people eating now People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill(药片) form, and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.Because people in the world today are many more than those about fifty years ago, most of the earth’s surface has to be filled. The deserts a re irrigated with water and crops are no longer eaten by pets(害虫). _______ Farming, of course, is very highly developed. __________ It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.People are now largely vegetarians, and they eat only bread, vegetables, fruit and so on and they don't eat meat or fish. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. __________Such would be our life in 2060.(8)Let’s try doing the follow ing experiment.What to Do:Use string to hang a paper clip or other small object at about chest(胸部)level.________ Take three or four steps away from the paper clip.______ Try to touch it with the tip of the stick.If you miss,try again,still keeping one eye closed.Now try it with both eyes open and see if it’s easier to do.How it works:In the experiment,you have to judge how far away the paper clip is._______ One simple way depends on how much your eye has to focus(聚焦)itself.Using only one eye,most people will find it difficult to touch the paper clip on the first try,but the brain still gets some information about distance—though not much. Your brain can judge distance much better when you look at something with both eyes.In fact,your brain has more than one way to use both eyes in judging distance.For example,to see anything clearly,you have to make both of your eyes point at the object.________ You can feel this happening if you look at the tip of your finger and move your finger toward your nose.________ Using that information,the brain can tell how far away any object is,whether it is a basketball or a paper clip.(9)My mom isn’t fancy like other moms.They wear fancy clothes and drive fancy cars.My mom wears her gardening clothes when she walks me to school.When fancy moms laugh,their laughs sound soft and whispery.You can hear my mom’s laugh from down the hall.________ But before long she starts laughing even harder than before.At the talent show,my mom cheers loudly,“Bravo,everyone!Bravo!”in stead of clapping politely the way fancy moms do.For our class hike(徒步旅行),parents are invited.At breakfast I go over my rules for Mom,“Please don’t whistle.Don’t laugh loudly.No clapping.And stay in line.”________ My mom wears cutoffs,a floppy straw hat,and her old hiking boots. We hike along,all in a line.Soon Mom starts to whistle her hiking songs,She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain.I shake my head at her.She stops and whispers,“Oops.Sorry,Jane.”We keep hiking.Everything is perfect u ntil…Our teacher,Ms.Steele,stops and points,“A snake!”_________ “Watch out!It might be poisonous(有毒的)!”Ms.Steele says.The other moms shuttle back some more.However,my mom steps forward and says,“Hmm.Let’s see what kind it is.Nope,it’s not poison ous.”I shut my eyes.I know what’s coming next.Mom makes a sudden attack.“Got it!”she says.The other moms scream,not sounding fancy at all.Kids gather around as Mom examines the snake.“It’s OK to touch,”she says.Everyone’s too scared,but I go first.“snakes aren’t slimy,”I tell them.Right away,others line up.A couple of the fancy moms come up to touch the snake’s tail. ___________ After a while,I look around quickly.Everyone’s picture is of Mom and me with the snake.As we hike back to the bus,I squeeze Mom’s hand.“I’m glad I didn’t tell you my don’t-catch-snakes rule.”She smiles.But soon,she’s whistling her hiking songs again!_________ Instead,I take a deep breath and sing out too.Everyone joins in,even the fancy moms.(10)There was a big tree more than a hundred years old living in the middle of a dry land. It gave rest and shelter to hundreds and thousands of travelers. _____1_____It acted as a connection point of all towns and villages in the nearby area. However, except the big old tree, there was on other trees that can offer rest to the people. The tree has a huge trunk with lots of branches which spread the shadow covering a wide space.One day, two travelers were traveling from a distant place and tried to reach a town at the east of the tree. ______2______They started their journey from early morning and it was almost mid noon. The sun was too hot and they could not walk anymore due to the heat. Fortunately, they reached the tree. They were very happy to see such a big tree with breezing wind. They decided to take a rest under the tree____________.They felt hungry and one of the travelers decided to climb the branches to see whether the tree had any fruit. ___4___He started cursing the tree owing to his hunger. “Oh, this is just a useless tree and it has nothing to feed us , not even a fruit or even nuts! It is of no use!”The tree said in a sad yet strong voice, “ You can’t be so ungrateful to me. Just look back at the condition when you reached their in the hot and dry sun! I offered you cool and comfortable place to rest. ______5______I saved your life from the hot sun, but you h umiliate me!’The traveler realized his mistake and apologized to the tree.(11)A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is all—milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. ______Then she remembers to buy food for her son to eat at school. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband's niece. Then she gets coffee for breakfast, ice cream for dessert and remembers stamps to mail the bills. And don't forget soap for the bathroom.And that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a grocery store. ______ Women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called “multi-tasking”, a very popular word these days.Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. A recent study has confirmed what we have known all along—men and women think differently.Scientist at the university of Pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old. _______ In female brain, they found more activity and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason” The right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side.Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She co-wrote the report. ______ Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain.As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. There is a strong connection between the “understanding” and the “action” parts of their brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity when solving a problem. _______ Dr. Venma warns that the study should not lead anyone to expect some behaviors from women and others from men.(12)Much meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak. Do you have such kind of experience? _____1_____ And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.The same is in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. _____2_____Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. ____3_____If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn his eyes away from the woman, his purpose is obvious. That is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.However, the normal eye contact for two people during in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time; _____4____.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to control you, you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar usually looks too long at the victim, because he believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication._____5____They enjoy looking at each other gently for a long time to show their love that words cannot express. Obviously, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the proper situation.A.In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long.B.We shouldn’t stared at the others for a long time.C.But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex.D.If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward other’s stare at you thatway.E.in order to make sure that the listener is paying attention to what thespeaker is speaking.F.In fact, continuous eye contact only happens between two lovers.G.Many people don’t think so.(13)When you wake up every day, once again to see this beautiful world, when your parents, teachers and friends give you help, will you know how to be grateful? And when you feel unlucky and make mistakes, will you still be thankful?Yu Dan, a professor at the Beijing Normal University, made a report about Gratitude Education(感恩教育). _____1_____Nowadays, some teenagers only care about things outside. _____2_____For example, they fight each other, use phones in class, be rude to their parents and teachers and so on. Most of them don’t know love, respect and gratefulne ss.____3____It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time as long as he lives in the world.

七选五文章(1)What makes a group smart and able to solve problems successfully and produce good solutions? Oh, we may ask: what makes a group intelligent? A group’s IQ (智商), we might think, would be simply the average intelligence (平均智力) of the group’s membe rs, or perhaps the intelligence of the g roup’s smartest member. ___1___A group’s intelligence comes out from communications that go on within group. A group’s intelligence can be calculated, and like the IQ grades of a single person, and it can predic t the group’s performance on lots of kinds of tasks perfectly. Just like a single person’s intelligence can be trained and developed.__2___. Here are some suggestions on how to guide the development of smart groups:___3___ The smartest groups are made up of people who are good at reading one another’s social signs. ___4___Groups who take the time to discuss how they will work together are more well-organized and successful.As a group member, it is also very important for you to share (分享) the floor in the formal (正式的) meetings. The members who just control the discussion or who stay away and don’t say much make the intelligence of the group lower. But in the smart group, members connect directly with each other, not just with group leader. ____5___ Outside of formal meetings, the smartest groups spend a lot of time communicating, too. All members can have a coffee break at the same time, leading them to do their work more professionally and feel more pleased with their jobs.(2)Tigers are fierce animals. They are the bosses of the Asian jungles with their cleverness, quickness and strength. ______As a mother, the Chinese-American writer Amy Chua is definitely a tiger. Her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother (虎妈战歌) tells of the strict upbringing she gave her two children. ______ Her kids were not allowed to watch TV or play video games. They were not allowed to "hang out" with other kids after school. They hadto be the top students in their classes. And they had to practice the piano and violin for hours every day. ______ She admits this caused a lot of tears and anger but she has few regrets (后悔).Chua says, like her, most Asian mothers are tigers because they believe their children can achieve a lot if they're pushed hard enough. ______ They care more about their children's self-esteem (自尊). They don't want to push their kids too hard for fear of hurting their feelings. American mothers encourage their children to find their own path.So, is a tiger mom better than a pussycat? Perhaps it depends on the differences between Asian and Western cultures. _______ Some kids need to be pushed while others respond to a gentler hand. To growl or to purr? There is no easy answer.A.Mothers should be tigers instead of pussycats.B.As a result, her kids became successful.C.She says American mothers are really pussycats.D.It’s not possible for the kids to be perfect.E.It may also depend on the child himself.F.She thinks that being strict is the only way to develop a child's potential (潜力) and to make them strong, independent and successful.G. A pussycat, on the other hand, is a homebody that comforts us with its gentle warmthand calms us with its purring.(3)Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? This article will describe a typical (典型的) high school and its students.A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. ___1_____When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather loan(租借) than buy them. Students must pay back if they lost any of them.____2_____They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver’s exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, math, English and social studies.____3____In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special classes: health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. ___4____There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.____5_____After school more than half of the students are involved in after-school activities. These activities include sports-especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.(5)Saying no starts small'All right then-just one more piece…' Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake.___1___It isn't just girls. Most of us find it hard to say 'no' to something attractive, however, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people's lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow(圆形软糖) now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes.____2____ Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives._____3_____Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems. But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology(心理学) professor(教授) told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles. -____4_____You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.____5______Don't try to do too many things at the same time, or when you don't have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge(恢复) your willpower with a good night's sleep and by eating well.(6)Making a good job choice is almost as good as choosing a good life. ___ For my job, there are three important things that I will consider:The first one - that I must work in an area I like - is most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't have to work another day.________ I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do.The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems._______ In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. ________When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work.I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. _________Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice. A good choice will most probably lead to a better life.(7)Let’s suppose it is a common day of 2060. ________ Trips to the moon are being made every day.Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in the 2010’s. At a number of scenery sport(风景胜地) on the moon, many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. ________What are people eating now People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill(药片) form, and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.Because people in the world today are many more than those about fifty years ago, most of the earth’s surface has to be filled. The deserts a re irrigated with water and crops are no longer eaten by pets(害虫). _______ Farming, of course, is very highly developed. __________ It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.People are now largely vegetarians, and they eat only bread, vegetables, fruit and so on and they don't eat meat or fish. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. __________Such would be our life in 2060.(8)Let’s try doing the follow ing experiment.What to Do:Use string to hang a paper clip or other small object at about chest(胸部)level.________ Take three or four steps away from the paper clip.______ Try to touch it with the tip of the stick.If you miss,try again,still keeping one eye closed.Now try it with both eyes open and see if it’s easier to do.How it works:In the experiment,you have to judge how far away the paper clip is._______ One simple way depends on how much your eye has to focus(聚焦)itself.Using only one eye,most people will find it difficult to touch the paper clip on the first try,but the brain still gets some information about distance—though not much. Your brain can judge distance much better when you look at something with both eyes.In fact,your brain has more than one way to use both eyes in judging distance.For example,to see anything clearly,you have to make both of your eyes point at the object.________ You can feel this happening if you look at the tip of your finger and move your finger toward your nose.________ Using that information,the brain can tell how far away any object is,whether it is a basketball or a paper clip.(9)My mom isn’t fancy like other moms.They wear fancy clothes and drive fancy cars.My mom wears her gardening clothes when she walks me to school.When fancy moms laugh,their laughs sound soft and whispery.You can hear my mom’s laugh from down the hall.________ But before long she starts laughing even harder than before.At the talent show,my mom cheers loudly,“Bravo,everyone!Bravo!”in stead of clapping politely the way fancy moms do.For our class hike(徒步旅行),parents are invited.At breakfast I go over my rules for Mom,“Please don’t whistle.Don’t laugh loudly.No clapping.And stay in line.”________ My mom wears cutoffs,a floppy straw hat,and her old hiking boots. We hike along,all in a line.Soon Mom starts to whistle her hiking songs,She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain.I shake my head at her.She stops and whispers,“Oops.Sorry,Jane.”We keep hiking.Everything is perfect u ntil…Our teacher,Ms.Steele,stops and points,“A snake!”_________ “Watch out!It might be poisonous(有毒的)!”Ms.Steele says.The other moms shuttle back some more.However,my mom steps forward and says,“Hmm.Let’s see what kind it is.Nope,it’s not poison ous.”I shut my eyes.I know what’s coming next.Mom makes a sudden attack.“Got it!”she says.The other moms scream,not sounding fancy at all.Kids gather around as Mom examines the snake.“It’s OK to touch,”she says.Everyone’s too scared,but I go first.“snakes aren’t slimy,”I tell them.Right away,others line up.A couple of the fancy moms come up to touch the snake’s tail. ___________ After a while,I look around quickly.Everyone’s picture is of Mom and me with the snake.As we hike back to the bus,I squeeze Mom’s hand.“I’m glad I didn’t tell you my don’t-catch-snakes rule.”She smiles.But soon,she’s whistling her hiking songs again!_________ Instead,I take a deep breath and sing out too.Everyone joins in,even the fancy moms.(10)There was a big tree more than a hundred years old living in the middle of a dry land. It gave rest and shelter to hundreds and thousands of travelers. _____1_____It acted as a connection point of all towns and villages in the nearby area. However, except the big old tree, there was on other trees that can offer rest to the people. The tree has a huge trunk with lots of branches which spread the shadow covering a wide space.One day, two travelers were traveling from a distant place and tried to reach a town at the east of the tree. ______2______They started their journey from early morning and it was almost mid noon. The sun was too hot and they could not walk anymore due to the heat. Fortunately, they reached the tree. They were very happy to see such a big tree with breezing wind. They decided to take a rest under the tree____________.They felt hungry and one of the travelers decided to climb the branches to see whether the tree had any fruit. ___4___He started cursing the tree owing to his hunger. “Oh, this is just a useless tree and it has nothing to feed us , not even a fruit or even nuts! It is of no use!”The tree said in a sad yet strong voice, “ You can’t be so ungrateful to me. Just look back at the condition when you reached their in the hot and dry sun! I offered you cool and comfortable place to rest. ______5______I saved your life from the hot sun, but you h umiliate me!’The traveler realized his mistake and apologized to the tree.(11)A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is all—milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. ______Then she remembers to buy food for her son to eat at school. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband's niece. Then she gets coffee for breakfast, ice cream for dessert and remembers stamps to mail the bills. And don't forget soap for the bathroom.And that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a grocery store. ______ Women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called “multi-tasking”, a very popular word these days.Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. A recent study has confirmed what we have known all along—men and women think differently.Scientist at the university of Pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old. _______ In female brain, they found more activity and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason” The right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side.Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She co-wrote the report. ______ Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain.As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. There is a strong connection between the “understanding” and the “action” parts of their brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity when solving a problem. _______ Dr. Venma warns that the study should not lead anyone to expect some behaviors from women and others from men.(12)Much meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak. Do you have such kind of experience? _____1_____ And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.The same is in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. _____2_____Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. ____3_____If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn his eyes away from the woman, his purpose is obvious. That is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.However, the normal eye contact for two people during in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time; _____4____.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to control you, you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar usually looks too long at the victim, because he believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication._____5____They enjoy looking at each other gently for a long time to show their love that words cannot express. Obviously, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the proper situation.A.In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long.B.We shouldn’t stared at the others for a long time.C.But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex.D.If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward other’s stare at you thatway.E.in order to make sure that the listener is paying attention to what thespeaker is speaking.F.In fact, continuous eye contact only happens between two lovers.G.Many people don’t think so.(13)When you wake up every day, once again to see this beautiful world, when your parents, teachers and friends give you help, will you know how to be grateful? And when you feel unlucky and make mistakes, will you still be thankful?Yu Dan, a professor at the Beijing Normal University, made a report about Gratitude Education(感恩教育). _____1_____Nowadays, some teenagers only care about things outside. _____2_____For example, they fight each other, use phones in class, be rude to their parents and teachers and so on. Most of them don’t know love, respect and gratefulne ss.____3____It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time as long as he lives in the world. We should learn how to face failure or bad luck bravely and to try to deal with it. As we know, “Life is a mirror. When you smile in front of it, it will also smile and so will it when you cry to it. “ ____4__ If you always complain about everything, you may own nothing in the end.I think the teenagers should be grateful to life even when we are unsuccessful or unlucky. We have many reasons for being grateful. ____5____ And it is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope.If each of us has an attitude of being grateful, we’ll lead a better and more beautiful life. So remember, being grateful forever.A.It will affect Chinese people, especially the teenagers.B.They don’t care about others.C.If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight.D.For example, being grateful is a way to communicate with adults.E.They often behave badly.F.Being grateful or thankful is very important.G.Some students love and respect others.(14)Emergencies(紧急情况)don’t happen very often. But when they do, you want to get help first. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone numbers.In 1568, the Untied States government wanted one number that people could call for emergencies. They decided that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it quickly. ________Today, 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada._________In Great Britain, it’s 959.
