Studies show that what you wear can have a significant effect on your mood. So make Monday the day you wear your favorite clothes or show the latest addition to your wardrobe (衣橱).

Here are some tips to make us live happily.Don't avoid or ignore negativity.1 This can include people in your life who may be bringing you down，a hostile workplace environment or even a personal stressor that you haven't conquered quite yet. You are in control of your environment and if these negative situations keep making an appearance，it's up to you to handle them.Take care of yourself and your needs.In order to live a powerful and meaningful life，you must love yourself. Take care of your actions and how you live each day，and this will be reflected in your thoughts and emotional state of mind. 2Mend what's broken or get rid of it.Determining what is worth your time and effort and what can be challenging.If situations are beyond repair，it's time to let go. Are there relationships or friendships that remain damaged but you know are worth the time？ 3 Do what you can to find love in situations where it may have be absent in the past.4Giving our time，energy，love and sometimes money is what life is about. 5 My mom taught me a quote she learned in Mexico that stuck with me forever，“donde come uno，comen dos.(where one can eat，two can eat.)”It moves me every time I say it out loud. At the end of the day，no matter what you have you are likely in a position to give something small to someone else who needs it. Don't hesitate.A．Give back.B．Be positive.C．Fix them and find peace.D．Do more of what makes you happy.E．Love yourself fully in order to love others fully.F．Everything we put out into the world comes back to us.G．In order to conquer and overcome，it must be acknowledged.七There are times when people come into your life，and you know at once that they are sure to be there. They serve some sort of purpose，teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become.You never know who these people may be：your classmate，neighbor，teacher，long-lost friend or even a real stranger.But 1 ，you know that at that very moment they will affect your life in some serious way.2 ．However，on reflection you realize that without getting over them you would have never realized your potential ability and strength.Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck. 3 ．Without these small tests，life would be like a smooth road to nowhere. The people affecting your life，and the successes and failures you experience，help to create who you are and who you become.Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact，they are probably the most important ones.If someone hurts you, forgive them， 4 ．5 ，for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before，and really listen. You should set your sights high，hold your head up，tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.Most importantly, if you love someone, tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.A．when you look eyes into themB．because you are likely to get addicted to themC．Don't forget to embrace those unpleasant momentsD．Make every day count and appreciate every moment E．Illness，injury and love all occur to test the limits of your soul F．Sometimes things happening to you may seem challenging at first G．for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious八Ways to Get Your Kids into NatureBeing in nature for kids has tremendous health benefits.There are many ways you can incorporate nature into your children's lives，even if you live in the city.Inspire curiosity by being curious yourself. A parent's excitement can be spread to the children, and when you show respect for nature，your children follow suit. 1 ．“I don't know！Let's find out together.”is a wonderful way to get the ball rolling. Be open to a mutual adventure and allow your curious inner child to come out while you explore nature with your children.2 ．If you have to carpool(拼车) in the morning，turn off the devices instead and encourage your children to look out of the window. The early morning fall skies are beautiful with color and migrating birds.After all，even views of nature from the car window are calming and beneficial.Stop thinking about nature time as leisure time. Time in nature is an essential investment in your children's health and well-being. If you view nature time as essential to good health，you will be more likely to engage in it. 3 ，nurturing creativity and wonder is part of your responsibility as parents.Look at the stars. Visit your local observatory，and then drive out of the city some morning or evening for your own stargazing(天体观察) with a blanket and telescope. Observing the stars offers a deeper and wider understanding of the universe. 4 ．Plant a small garden. 5 ．Bean and pea plants grow quickly and can be eaten when mature，so teach your children about food and the wonder of growth.A．Limit electronic devices while drivingB．Encourage questions you don't know the answers toC．If you want to raise your healthy，well-balanced children D．If you have the space, help your children plant a few vegetablesE．It will teach teamwork, pride in the community，and family togethernessF．If your child is interested, encourage him to get involved in the communityG．Allow yourself to think about it, and talk to your children about that wonder九Everyone complains. Even if you argue that you are the happiest person in the world，you still complain sometimes. Sometimes you complain with out even realizing it，but rarely is it ever helpful. 1 Here are some tips to stop complaining and give up the negative thoughts.2When you find yourself thinking or saying a negative comment about something or someone，stop and force yourself to say something positive instead.Seek the help of a cheerful friend to change you when you complain and help you to see the positive in the situation.Make a list of things you are grateful for.You often complain about the things you don't have with out noticing those things you already have. Be grateful for what you have in your life because you are lucky simply for being yourselves. 3 Learn to adapt to the changes.There are many things you can't change. 4 Always find the positive side of each situation，regardless of however difficult the situation is.With parents' and friends'support，you can survive any life changes.Allow yourself to vent(发泄) your feelings every once in a while.Constantly ignoring negative thoughts could add up.If you are really going through a rough time，don't be afraid to share your feelings with a close friend or family member or see a therapist.Find what makes you happy.5 Maybe it is time to make the hard decision to move on the another job or career. Uncover what your biggest complaints are about and see if you can change the situation to make you happy. Choose happiness，focus on the positive，and be kind always!A．Change the way you think.B．Make friends with positive people.C．The best and only thing you can do is to accept them.D．Are you constantly complaining about your present job?E．Sometimes this list can be easy，full of hobbies you enjoy.F．So how can you manage to force yourselves to end complaining?G．Set down things you are thankful for and you'll see that you don't have any reason to complain.十Many people believe that there is some truth in the saying Laughter is the best medicine.1 .

Laughter also increases the flow of blood throughout the body and has benefits which are similar to the ones you get by doing exercise.2 . Children exposed to funny films and cartoons before major medical procedures are able to cope better with pain and anxiety.3 .

At a laughter session, a trained therapist instructs the group to perform a series of exercises which are designed to produce laughter. 4 .

2024年高考英语阅读理解七选五10篇解析（1）When people first come across the Law of Attraction (吸引力法则), their hearts and minds often immediately think of one specific thing that they’d love to achieve in their lives. However, the next thought is often “But I can’t do that”. You may come up with all kinds of excuses. 1 Here are the reasons why you should believe you can use the Law of Attraction to obtain whatever you want.Small steps create big changes. One of the most common reasons for abandoning dreams is that they simply seem too huge to realize. Usually it’s manageable to think of following your dream as taking a series of significant but small steps. 2 Then look at each of them. Not so unrealistic now, is it?3 When people are interviewed on their deathbeds or write about their lives in autobiographies (自传), it is often observed that major regrets tend to relate to things that were not done. In older age, it’s likely that you will be uncomfortable with the idea that you didn’t even try to do the thing that you loved or attempt to obtain what you truly wanted.4 But you don’t ever need to feel this way! Make today the first day of your new journey towards avoiding regret.Steps towards your dream are never backwards steps. Another common worry is that if you follow your dreams, you’ll be “taking steps back”. 5 However, what looks like backward steps in your old life can more productively and accurately be seen as forwarding steps in the brand new life you’re creating.A．You can avoid regret.B．It is no use regretting it.C．Luckily, the truth is that it’s never too late to follow your dream.D．It often comes up when people are at the top of careers they hate.E．It is painful to feel like you haven’t ever found your true purpose.F．For example, challenge yourself to write down the path to success in ten stages.G．You have enough life experience and knowledge to pursue your dream.（2）Breaking the Habit of People-PleasingIf you feel like you may be a people-pleaser, you’re not alone. Most people have a growing desire for pleasing others. 6 It can also result in weak boundaries, problems with decision-making, and low self-worth. For that reason, it’s important to recognize and overcome your own people-pleasing behaviors. Here are simple exercises that you can start working on today.1. Practice being alone试卷第1页，共8页7 Trust that people will not abandon you, even if you don’t drop everything for them. Believe you are lovable for who you are, not what you do. Practice this by going to a movie or restaurant alone.2. Keep plans with yourself8 Otherwise, you are sending a message to your brain that a plan you make with yourself does not hold as much value as a plan you make with someone else. Don’t break any plans you make with yourself, whether it’s going to the gym or studying for an exam.3. Practice saying “no”If you’re a people-pleaser you may find it hard to say “no” because you feel it comes across as cruel or uncaring. 9 Be clear, be direct, and use “I” statements. Try statements like: “I would really love to be able to help you, but unfortunately, I’m already committed at that time.”By consistently integrating these strategies into your life, I’m confident you’ll break your people-pleasing habits. 10 This will yield an overall improvement in self-confidence and life satisfaction.A．So it is not necessary to say no.B．But it absolutely does not have to.C．Learn to love your own company.D．You’ll develop more healthy, interdependent relationships.E．You are not confident about the plans you make with yourself.F．Your own plans are as important as plans you make with others.G．People-pleasing behavior can lead to mental and physical problems.（3）How to Stay Active During the HolidaysBeing physically active on a consistent basis can be challenging, especially during holidays, as we travel to see relatives or host friends in our homes. 11 In this case, consider these tips for making physical activity regular in your lifestyle over the long term, through holidays and beyond.Find something you enjoy.This is the first rule of any sustainable exercise routine. If your workout feels like another task on your to-do list, it’ll be difficult to stick with. 12 Dance. Garden. Take a yoga class online. All of these count as physical activity, and even small amounts add up.13Exercise doesn’t have to take place in a gym. Taking three 10-minute walks during the day — one in the morning, another during your lunch and another after dinner — produces similar benefits to spending 30 minutes at the gym. In other words, taking short movement breaks throughout your day makes for a more active lifestyleand helps meet your goals.Be realistic.Most are overly optimistic when first mapping out a workout plan. 14 Besides, you don’t have to exercise before, during and after work every day in order to hit your goals. Instead, look at your current lifestyle and integrate more movement into your daily life.Make it a priority.Most of us are managing countless responsibilities every day, so it’s vital to consider physical activity an important part of your day. Put it on your schedule, just as you make an appointment with a doctor. And, let others know when you’ll be busy exercising and how they can help you find time to do so. 15A．Find breaks to move throughout the day.B．Make full use of weekday breaks to work out.C．It is necessary to avoid being injured in sports.D．Therefore, be creative in finding physical activities.E．Having the support from others is an essential element of success.F．Additionally, schedules are often interrupted by holiday gatherings.G．In fact, exercise isn’t necessarily at maximal intensity to be effective.（4）Many people who are learning English want to know how to improve their reading skills. 16 The effective way to improve your reading skills is to love reading and practice more.Reading is one of the most important language skills because we use it to expand our vocabulary and improve the way we speak, write and listen. 17 Seeing new ways to say things can help your understanding of English and improve not only your reading, but also your other language skills.18 If we do not understand something, we can go over it again and even look up the words we do not know the meanings of. This means that we have a much greater chance of understanding information that we read than information that we hear.So how do we practice reading so that our skill level improves? When we read a passage, we need to understand it. We must understand what the important words mean in each sentence. This does not mean that we need to know the meaning of every word. In many cases, we can find out what words mean from the words around them. 19 To do this, we must understand how words work together. In many cases, we must “see” part of the message that has not been written, or we must form an opinion ourselves.Reading is an essential part of your study of the English language. It can help you understand and learn more. It can also become a satisfying hobby. 20试卷第3页，共8页A．Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this.B．Unlike listening, reading allows us to take our time.C．Among the four skills, listening is the most important one.D．It is hoped that you will love reading and improve your reading skills.E．When we read, we can see how things are said, from sentence structure to expression.F．If we do not, we will not be able to understand what the entire article or story is about.G．Once we understand what the words mean, we need to figure out what the message is.（5）Your neighbors are probably the first line of defense in case of any problematic situation. 21 It gives you an assurance that you have people close by looking out for you. Here are easily applicable tips on creating stronger neighbor relationships.The first step is introducing yourself when you move to a new neighborhood or when a newcomer moves in. Leave them a note under their door to introduce yourself. 22 It doesn’t have to cost you a fortune and opting for a potted plant or baked biscuits will do. These actions present excellent opportunities to connect with them.Be respectful of your neighbors. It’s in poor taste to have regular insensitive parties at your place causing disturbances. Before your party, it’s good practice to notify your neighbors. Besides, avoid chatting them up for hours on end, which may be inconvenient, especially if you don’t know their schedules. 23 When you borrow anything, return it in due time. If you accidentally break their things, replace them without being asked to.24 You could offer to babysit your neighbors’ kids, help with snow removals or even keep an eye on their home when they’re away. Such acts of reaching out to your neighbors make for stronger relationships.As Emma Seppälä put it, “social connectedness generates a positive feedback loop (圈) of social, emotional and physical well-being.” It feels so easy to just stay home without having to engage with your neighbors but connecting with them is worth the effort. 25A．Remember every small gesture counts.B．A crisis is a test of communication skills.C．It can actually boost your mood in the long run.D．Slipping it in their mailbox further solidifies friendship.E．It’s essential to ensure you maintain decent relationships with them.F．Alternatively, you can give them a gift while making yourself known to them.G．Only by establishing healthy boundaries will you achieve peaceful coexistence.（6）The rise of social media has revolutionized human connectivity, but its overuse can make people feel increasingly unhappy and isolated. 26One significant problem with frequent social media use is comparing ourselves to others. Many individuals experience “Facebook envy”. 27 Gradually, it may result in self-doubt. To boost self-confidence, it is essential to reduce time on others’profiles, and focus on self-reflection.Social media can also make it hard to form real friendships. Constant online interaction may make us feel lonely and left out when we see others having fun online. Stina Sanders, a former model, explained “When I see my friend’s photos of a party I didn’t go to, it can make me feel quite lonely and anxious”. 28 Quality sleep is essential for mental health, but excessive phone use before bedtime can severely disturb it. The anxiety and envy induced by social media content can keep our brains alert, making it challenging to fall asleep. 29 Avoiding the phone for at least 40 minutes to an hour before bed can improve sleep.“ 30 However, it can also change the way we recall our life. If we direct all of our attention trying to take the perfect photo, less will be available to enjoy other aspects of the experience in real time,” said Dr. Bono. To decrease these effects, practicing self-discipline and limiting phone use can help us to stay focused and clear-minded.If you feel like social media is beginning to affect you, why not consider allocating less social media time? The slight change can do you a lot of good.A．Regular use of Facebook can keep good relationships.B．Social media offers a convenient way to record memories.C．This can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction with themselves.D．Plus, the blue light that is given off by screens affects our sleep.E．Therefore, it’s important to develop genuine offline relationships.F．Social media can lead to serious physical and mental health issues.G．The reliance on it can negatively impact people’s mental health in the long run.（7）For most people traveling abroad, their first choice is probably to rush directly to tourist sights. For me.I find lots of joy in grocery shopping on holiday.As a vegetarian, finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad. 31 The first thing I do, after dropping my bags off, is to go to a grocery store. That enables me to cook breakfast in the morning without walking around for hours trying to find “vegan breakfast” near me.The variety of foods attracts me every time I travel somewhere new. In Malta, I found the most delicious chocolate-filled cakes, the ones I would struggle to find even in the UK. 32 I was so delighted that I试卷第5页，共8页could enjoy such an unexpected treat. Another surprise was their selection of ice cream available even in the smallest grocery stores.33 Looking for smoked tofu and corn pancakes turns into quite a mission whenever I visit Cluj-Napoca in Romania. There is usually only one variety of smoked tofu, sold in a very small tub (食品盒) and only in the cafeteria section. 34 That is because they are never available at the smaller ones.Grocery shopping on holiday sounds unusual. But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a country’s citizens. I can pretend I am a local and put myself in their shoes. I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night. 35A．I ended up eating these every day for breakfast.B．The challenge of finding food is interesting. too.C．The smoked product is unique and specially packed.D．So I always make sure to book a place with a kitchen.E．It’s an act of understanding people as much as of buying food.F．Corn pancakes always require a trip to the bigger grocery store.G．By wandering around in a new country, I start to see what they value.（8）Traveling allows you the opportunity to explore new places and unplug from daily routines and distractions. But let’s face it: Sometimes you want and need to stay connected when traveling abroad. Beyond scrolling through news and keeping up on social media, having a cellphone can be an essential tool to connect with other travelers and find cheap accommodation. 36 Here are tips to avoid the high international roaming (漫游) charges.Buy a local SIM Card. One of the most affordable ways to stay connected while traveling is to bring your phone and buy a prepaid SIM card at your destination. Before you travel, check with your provider to make sure your phone will work abroad. Swapping out the SIM card will give you a new international number. Make sure you keep your original SIM card in a safe place. 37Use Wi-Fi Only. If you check email or social media infrequently and don’t feel the need to constantly upload travel photos. waiting until you can connect to free wireless networks can save you a lot. 38 While you’re at it, switch off any apps that grab data. Look for restaurants, cafes or public spaces that offer free access to Wi-Fi.39 To save time and money, load up your phone in advance with travel and other apps, music, books, maps, travel guides and anything else you may need. Free Wi-Fi can be slow in many public areas. And you don’twant to get stuck waiting for a map or guide to load when you need it.Disconnect. While you can find plenty of uses for your phone while traveling, there are also good reasons to disconnect. Be engaged as you explore new places. 40 Technology is so ubiquitous (无所不在的) in work and personal lives that it can be hard to focus on a new culture if all you’re doing is staring down at your phone.A．Download Before You Go.B．Know your limits and try to overcome them.C．Make sure you put your phone in airplane mode.D．That card is associated with your new phone number.E．Sometimes you fail to wander in a totally new environment.F．Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds and enjoy the moment.G．Your phone is also a key connection to friends and family back home.（9）The smell of sweat, the noise of crashing weights and the muscular people in tank tops make the gym’s strength class or weight room seem forbidding, whether you’re a seasoned lifter or a complete beginner.41 Most benefits of strength training go beyond appearances. It subjects our bones to more pressure than our daily routines and increases muscle mass and bone density. Now that you know resistance training is important, here’s how to get started.Set a goal that is attainable and improves your daily life. 42 That might mean pressing weight overhead to ensure you can put your luggage in the airplane’s overhead bin or doing weighted squats (深蹲) for hiking preparation.The ideal way is to work one-on-one with an experienced certified trainer. 43 Look for one who not only guides you through workouts but also understands your unique journey and helps you reach your full potential.Private training with friends or joining in small group classes is also a cost-effective way to get individual attention. While you might tend to position yourself in the back corner of the room, I suggest heading to the front where a coach can monitor your form and offer feedback.44 If you favor strength-training apps, opt for one with video demonstrations. If none of these are appealing, start at home with basic-level bodyweight exercises like squats. 45 Grab a gallon water jug, hug it to your chest and dive into a squat. This not only adds resistance but challenges your core muscles to sustain stability.A．It’s like having a fitness associate.试卷第7页，共8页B．It’s worth pushing past that fear though.C．Take my word for it, no one else is looking at you.D．As you gain more confidence and strength, raise the bar.E．You’ll begin to see an impact far beyond your jeans fitting better.F．Think about which aspect of your life could be noticeably improved.G．Take videos of yourself performing those movements and watch them between sets.（10）A workable and pretty easy solution to improving your listening skills is that you begin to realize how much of your ability to be an effective listener is really about you, not the other person and how fascinating or boring they are. 46We tend to assume that listening is little more than showing up and paying attention to the other person.47 It’s worth noticing how we instinctively (本能地) listen in conversation and whether or not that given listening mode is really what’s called for.You need to identify your personal “hot spots”. 48 Whether it’s talking about climate change or Father’s Day, when you are not interested at all, you realize it is hard to concentrate. That kind of self-knowledge comes by having a scientific approach and observing yourself in action.49 For example, your surrounding environment, the topic at hand, or even particular company may affect your ability to listen. When you do this, you can more easily see what gets in the way of your ability to listen and understand. Thus that makes many of our work-related conversations much easier.In a performance review or heated debate, you can remind yourself if you’re having an emotional response to feedback and are having trouble hearing the other person out. Observing and learning from your behavior, and noticing how you are affected by your surroundings help you uncover your unique needs for doing your best listening. 50A．Considering external factors is also important.B．Besides, get curious about your conversation style.C．In fact, if they’re boring, in some ways that is on you.D．But it’s also deeply tied to paying attention to ourselves.E．Effective listening is about creating the space for others to express themselves.F．The topics are what uniquely set you off and emotionally inspire you in some ways.G．Those are going to help everything from meetings to client presentations run smoothly.参考答案：1．C 2．F 3．A 4．E 5．D【导语】这是一篇说明文。

备战2024年高考英语名校模拟真题速递()第一期专题06 七选五10篇（2024·浙江·统考模拟预测）When students get home, they usually sit down at the table and pull out their homework. Piles of papers rise all the way to the ceiling. American students should get less homework on a daily basis. 1Loads of homework can cause stress in a student and lead to health issues in the body and mind. Stress causes lack of sleep, slipping grades, tiredness, unhealthy eating habits, depression, and so on. Nervous breakdowns can make pleting homework much more of a struggle and also effect the health and life of a student.2 The remended amount is 10 minutes times the grade level. So first grade gets 10 minutes; second grade gets 20 minutes; third grade gets 30 minutes, and so on, but kids are doing much more than that. Twenty three percent of 13yearolds do more than 2 hours a night.3 There is no academic benefit for high school students after 2 hours and there are no academic benefits for middle school students after 1 and a half hours.Doing homework all night can take away a student’s free time and sleep. Always doing homework can lead to less time for sports and afterschool activities. 4 Worse still, hanging out with friends is decreased, so that means there is less socializing. Staying up late and doing homework takes away a student’s time to sleep. Not enough sleep can leave students tired, and at school they might focus less or fall asleep during class.Shouldn’t students get less homework so that they can be happy and have more time with family and friends?5 If teachers and parents tried to reduce the amount of homework, there would be a decrease in stress and anxiety and an increase in happiness!A．Lack of sleep can cause great stress.B．The more the students do, the less they get out of doing it.C．Administrators, teachers, and parents need to address this issue.D．Family time is also decreased, which can add more family conflict.E．Homeworkrelated anxiety and stress can affect school work negatively.F．Kids are doing more than the remended amount with no academic benefits.G．Anyway, too much homework can cause quite a few physical and mental problems.（2023·浙江·校联考模拟预测）Some people measure success by the wealth they’ve accumulated, or the status they’ve achieved. Yet, even though they’ve reached success beyond their wildest dreams, they still feel something is missing from their life. Their soul may be searching for something more. 6 Although everyone is different, there are mon threads that bind a life with purpose.Live by your beliefs and values.People who live a life of purpose have core beliefs and values that influence their decisions, shape their daily actions, and determine their priorities. They place significant value on being a person of virtue. 7 And they spend more time listening to their inner voice than being influenced by others.Follow your passion.People who live a life of purpose wake up each morning eager to face the new day. They pursue their dreams with enthusiasm, put their heart into everything they do, and feel that they’re personally making a difference. As James Dean once said, “ 8 ”Feel content.People who live a life of purpose have an inner peace. They’re satisfied with what they have and who they are. 9 As the saying goes, “The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money.”10People who live a life of purpose have a positive impact on someone else’s life. They are willing to help people in need and make their life better and happier. They gain as much satisfaction witnessing the success of others as witnessing their own.Without purpose, it’s easy to wander aimlessly through life instead of following your North Star. Without purpose, it’s easy to achieve remarkable success and still feel that life is passing you by.A．Make a difference.B．It’s the purpose of life.C．Put others before yourself.D．So they live with certain moral principles.E．The secret of success is constancy to purpose.F．Dream as if you’ll live forever and live as if you’ll die today.G．To them, the grass is greener on their own side of the fence.（2023·浙江绍兴·统考模拟预测）Who would win in a fight, a lion or a tiger? Well, if size has anything to do with the matter, the tiger would win. 11 They are also fast. They can sprint as fast as 40 miles per hour for short distances and leap as far as 30 feet horizontally. This makes for an extremely dangerous attack. You might not think that such large, fast, and ferocious creatures need help to survive, but they do. 12 Tigers are hunted for many reasons. People have long valued the famous striped skins. Though trading tiger skins is now illegal in most parts of the world, they are worth around $10,000 on the blackmarket. 13 Many Asian cultures believe that various tiger parts have healing properties.14 However, perhaps more damage has been caused through the destruction of habitat. Tigers once ranged widely across Asia, but over the past 100 years, tigers have lost 93% of their historic range.A major obstacle to preserving tigers is the enormous amount of territory that each tiger requires. Each wild tiger demands between 200 and 300 square miles. Tigers are also both territorial and solitary (独居的) animals.15 Since tigers need so much territory, it is difficult for conservationists to acquire land enough to support a large population of tigers. Even when these considerable spaces are provided, it is even more difficult to move around such large areas to prevent the illegal hunting. There is no easy way to preserve the wild tiger population without making large sacrifices.A．The tiger is an endangered species.B．Restoring the world’s tiger population is possible.C．Other parts of the tiger can also fetch a pretty penny.D．That’s because tigers are the largest of all cat species.E．Traditional Chinese medicine use tiger bones in some prescriptions.F．This means they generally do not share with other tigers the areas they claim.G．Humans have done considerable damage to the tiger population through hunting.（2023·浙江台州·统考二模）You don’t need to be an astronomer with a giant telescope to enjoy a simple but spellbinding activity: stargazing. 16 It’s so interesting to discover what’s going on. With a bit of practice, and knowhow from books and websites, stargazers can spot particular stars and also groups of stars.There is plenty to take in using just your eyes but some people use a telescope for a more detailed look. For the best results, choose a clear night when the moon is not very bright. 17It can be harder to see the stars in towns and cities. It is because of light pollution. The night sky is brightened by light from street lamps, shops and car headlights. The best places for stargazing are open, hilly areas or the coast. 18 It is our home galaxy stretching across the night sky and is best seen in summer and fall evening skies. If the full moon is up, it will be hard to see. Try going for a night hike instead! Let your eyes adjust to the moonlight and keep your flashlight turned off.19 That is camping in a national park under a starfilled sky. Many national parks offer various night sky programs, from telescope astronomy events to full moon walks with rangers. Besides, national parks are also great places to know about the animals that are awake at night and asleep during the day. Sit quietly and listen for these creatures.When you head out at night, always go with an adult. Dress warmly and take a blanket or a chair to sit on, plus a hot drink to warm you up. You might want to take a camera with you as well, so you can take a photo if you see something amazing in the sky. A whole new world es alive at night and is waiting to be explored. 20A．Get prepared for the wonder above.B．Just go outside at night and look up.C．You are supposed to avoid the full moon.D．It also matters which direction you observe.E．In these places, you can look for the Milky Way.F．What is the better way to experience the great wonder?G．Where do you prefer to have a stargazing trip at night?（2023·浙江嘉兴·统考二模）Hilde’s father was a reporter.

Sometimes, it was because of her age. Other times, it was because she was a girl. 24 Hilde continued reporting and her activities as a reporter have made her famous.Now Hilde has published a book telling her own story and the challenges she has faced. Some of those challenges came from Hilde herself, struggling to figure out who she was as she grew older. 25 But she is still just 15, and has plenty of time to decide what she wants to do with her life.

Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known. 26 These small changes in your everyday routine can have a big impact in the long run.Get eight hours of sleep.27 If we are lacking in sleep, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure and glucose(血糖) levels. These factors can all have an impact on cardiovascular(心血管) health.Engage in volunteer work.Doing good for others helps your selfesteem and relieves stress. 28 We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health, and volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.

Breathing in contaminants(污染物) formed from chemicals may harm your heart. Even short periods of exposure are unhealthy for people who already have cardiovascular risks, such as high blood pressure. Try to get your outdoor exercise far away from highways and industrial districts.Eat breakfast.Healthy people who skipped breakfast were three times more likely to have heart disease than those who have a substantial morning meal.

But our busy lifestyles will sometimes tear us away. 31 Here are some tips to keep your pets content.Cats don’t simply curl up and sleep when you leave. 32 If they have a friend or sibling they will create games and fort one another but if they are alone they will need more stimuli (刺激物).

With thousands of pieces there, how do you know which to focus on? And once you see a piece you like, how do you interact with it? Here is some advice onhow to have a meaningful connection when you look at art.Get up close and personal.46 Therefore, take your time to observe qualities about a work that may not e through on a puter screen. That includes its look and the feel of its surface, the marks made by the brush and the path your eyes take when viewing the work.Stand back. Next, take a few steps back, stand in the center — and observe what’s happening in the big picture. What’s going on in the piece? 47 What are they doing? How are they related?Look at it from an angle. Then try looking at an artwork from its sides, because you might catch something you might not have seen straight on. If it’s something like The Ambassadors by Holbein at The National Gallery in London, if you stand to the side, you’ll see something that from front on looks very different. 48 That’s called anamorphic art.Move your body. If you’re looking at a painting, you can take a finger to the air and trace the outline of the figure or the movement of the brushstrokes. 49 This can help you see and feel what it might be like to make this artwork from the artist’s perspective.Consider the subject of the art.That can have a profound effect on how you feel about the workand perhaps you can learn something from it. Take the example of Andrew Wyeth’s famous painting, Christina’s World, which depicts (描绘) a girl with a muscle disease crawling across a field to get to her home in the distance. The painting personifies (体现) determination. 50A．So just keep an open mind.B．What have they gone through?C．When you stand to the side, it changes.D．How are the figures in the piece arranged?E．We have the luxury of seeing the real thing at a museum.F．When looking at sculptures, try the poses with your body.G．It can in a way relieve your stress to know we have this inner strength.参考答案：1．G 2．F 3．B 4．D 5．C【导语】这是一篇说明文。

The participants who caught arteriosclerosis could not clear up the negative effects of sitting by exercising.___18___, that doesn't reduce the bad effects of a sedentary (坐的)lifestyle，" said Isabel Ferreira，a professor at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, the Daily Mail reports.___19___ However, viewers can simply be active and limit their time spent sitting in front of the TV or computer every day.___20___ Researchers observed that every single hour of TV viewing may shorten life by as much as 22 minutes, the participants who watched six hours of TV a day were expected to live five years less than a person who didn't watch TV.

A year with a February 29 might be good news if you are paid by the day or the week. But it might be bad news if you were born on a February 29.____36____. American English has a term for the unusual situation. February 29 is called a leap day. And the entire 12-month period with a February 29 in it is called a leap year. This year, 2020, is such a year.In a leap year, the dates jump over one day of the week. Let me explain. In 2017, the last day of the year, December 31, fell on a Sunday. In 2018, it fell on a Monday. In 2019, it fell on a Tuesday. But in 2020, December 31 will fall on a Thursday.___37___.The reason for a leap day or a leap year is because our calendar does not follow the Earth's orbit around the sun exactly.___38___. So every fouryears, we put all that time together into an extra day —or, what is officially called an intercalary(闰) day."Leap" is also an important word for two other common American expressions.___39___. If you want someone to investigate a situation completely before taking action, you might say, "Look before you leap." The other expression is a phrase of hope. Urging someone to "take a leap of faith" means inviting the person to take action, even if not everything about a situation is known. Interestingly, both phrases are completely reasonable to say to someone who is about to get married. On that note, some people choose to marry on February 29 because it is an unusual date.___40___. Leap years were believed to be difficult, and leap days unlucky and a bad time to begin anything new. Whatever you think about them, the change in the calendar will be gone soon enough. Then we can return to normal, and leap over February 29 as usual.A. One is a kind of warning.B. That's why we called it a Leap YearC. It just leaped right over Wednesday.D. Each year, we have a little time left over.E. You have to wait three years in between birthdays!F. As a verb, the word "leap" means to jump, or to move quickly.G. Some ancient peoples would likely tell couples not to do it, however. 【答案】E C D A G9.Any exercise is good exercise, but when it comes to losing weight, it's hard to beat running. After all, running is one of the most efficient ways to burn calories and get fit without having to restrict your diet.31 If you're not a runner yet but interested in losing weight, here are four reasons running can be the best exercise for weight loss.32 When comparing running with walking the same distance, studies find that running will lead to greater weight loss, most likely because your resting energy expenditure stays elevated(高的) after you run. In a long-term comparison study of runners and walkers, calories burned through running led to 90% more weight loss than calories burned through walking.Running is time-efficient. Even if the myth that running a mile and walking a mile burn the same number of calories were true, running is a considerably faster way to burn those calories. 33Running is convenient. Though many of us have accumulated a vast arsenal(武器，装备) of GPS gadgets and tech tees over the years, little is actually required to go running. You can do it alone. You can do it almost anywhere. 34 For this reason alone, running is the best workout for weight loss because it's cheap and accessible, and there are fewer barriers to maintaining a routine, even while traveling.Twowords: runner's high. 35 Fortunately, studies support what many runners have experienced on an anecdotal level—running can actually get you high. Scientists have found links between moderate to intense exercise and morphine-like brain chemicals, which explains the occasional flood of thrill that rushes over you during a hardrun. That happy sensation you had after your last race makes you want to go for another run, right?A. Cultivate the good habit of running.B. Running works even when you're at rest.C. You will never stick to a habit if you don't like it.D. The first rule of exercising for weight loss is that if you don't enjoy it, you won't stick with it.E. You don't need any equipment beyond a pair of running shoes.F. If you're already a runner, keep on.G. Most people can run two or three times as far as they can walk in a given amount of time.答案：FBGED10Friendly people are welcoming. When you are friendly, you make other people feel good about themselves and you also feel more confident about yourself. 31 Being friendly doesn't have to mean changing who you are but doing little things to make others comfortable.___32__ If you are not friendly, you might feel embarrassed when you first try to be more welcoming with others. One way to learn to be friendly is to think of an outgoing person and copy his/her postures(姿势),words and behavior.Be kind to strangers. An easy way to be friendly is to offer a smile to people you might normally ignore. Every day there are opportunities to be friendly with strangers. ___33___.Try to accept others.___34__If someone new tries to chat with you, make an effort to contribute to the conversation instead of giving one-wordanswers. In a group, look out for one who doesn't seem to know anyone and try to accept him/her into the group.Stay in touch. Sometimes we neglect(忽视) to be friendly with those we know the best--- our close friends and family. ___35__Therefore, you can send a warm email too let your mother know that you are thinking about her.A. Observe friendliness in others.B. Smile and remember everyone's name.C. They may want to hang out, but be too shy to ask.D. So friendliness is a win-win no matter how you look at it.E. Don't pass up the chance to be warm and make others comfortable.F. Actually, offering friendliness and warmth to them is also very important.G. Making new people you meet feel accepted forms a large part of being friendly.答案：DAEGF。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

第一篇：_71_ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. _72_ Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. _73_ All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you._74 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. 75 Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!A.That’s easy.B.Enjoy your own club!C.Invite a designer to join you.D.What are you interest in?E.Some vacation is just around the corner.F.Then you need to pick a name for your club.e a bright thick pen to make a special design.第二篇：Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables.71 Make a study time and have it at the same time every day.This will help your kids to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time.Allow them to study in blocks of time，such as for half an hour with a five-minute break in the middle. 72 Ideal(理想的) study times are after dinner or right after school before dinner.Never allow your children to study in front of the television，as that will encourage passive activity. 73 You'll also need to help your kids find the right place to study.After you've set up a good study time for little learners，set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing.74 Make sure there is a table or a desk and a comfortable chair.75 This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and being there for them with the answers to any questions.The input you give your children during study periods will help form a bond and help make studying enjoyable.A．Pick a place where your children can study properly.B．Hold them to the schedule they create for themselves.C．Finally，spend time with your kids when they're studying.D．Keep the atmosphere light and offer lots of encouragement，too.E．Instead，use TV as a treat or a reward when the homework is completed.F．Try to stop this bad habit by offering some sort of reward.G．One of the best ways to form good study habits for your kids is to design a schedule that they keep to.第三篇：71Home can be a great place for children to study.It's important to provide a workspace of their own where they can read books or just write a letter to their friends.●Location (位置)72 Kitchen and dining room are not so well suited for regular study，since books and pens get in the way of the day-to-day uses of those areas.Set up a place where a child can settle in and leave papers and pens at hand without having to clear everything away each night.For a child that likes being alone，set aside a corner of his bedroom，but keep it separate from things like games，music and other hobbies not related to studying.●Keeping Things in OrderParents should encourage their child to spread out，but to leave it neat and orderly when he isn't using his workspace.Ownership is very important for self-respect 73 The workplace should be personal，but not another part of the playroom.● 74Encourage the whole family to help build a supportive environment that children need for success in school.Give them a good example of how to deal with problems，how to manage time and get things done in the right way. 75 Study will be more enjoyable and effective when supported by the whole family.A.Attitude Is EverythingB.Bring Organization into Your HomeC.Here are severval ways to choose a location.D.Building a Good Home Learning EnvironmentE.Hold a can-do attitude and your child will follow your example.F.Setting up a space in a common area of your home can be a good idea for children.G．A child who learns to organize his space will carry organization into every corner of his life.第四篇：Hollywood movies are regularly filled with sex and violence. They can be exciting films but sometimes all you want is a little light-hearted entertainment.Have you heard of Bollywood? All singing, all dancing and unrealistic, it is the perfect alternative to normal Hollywood movies. Bollywood is the Indian film industry, based in Mumbai, formerly known asBombay. 1 Yet Bollywood is the largest producer of films in the world. This year the Indian Filmgare Awards, Bollywood's Oscars, turn 50 years old.The typical Bollywood movie usually has the following ingredients: a cup of romance, a tea-spoon of comedy, a dash of international sight-seeing, served with a huge slice of singing and dancing. There will also be one brave hero, one beautiful heroine and one baddie. 2Bollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries. 3 The actors change clothes and locationswithin a single song. But the audience don't mind. To Indian movie lovers, especially the poor, such films are a gateway to heaven and the stars are their gods. The films take them to a magical world away from their everyday troubles. The films tell them the impossible is possible and that true love conquers all.4 Behind the beautiful scenes, Bollywood still emphasizes traditional family values. In most films, if two lovers want to break an arranged marriage, they can't just run away. They must win over their parents.Bollywood is a decent refreshing replacement for those over-stimulating Hollywood films. 5 They will takeyou to a brighter, cheerier and more colorful world, where it's still cool to dance around a tree and sing a love song.A．Bollywood has gradually won its reputation on the world stage.B．There is never any mention of politics, poverty or war.C．Most Chinese school kids have probably never seen an Indian film.D．Bollywood films are mostly comic romances with light-hearted incidental music.E.Bollywood pays great attention to traditional values.F.The result is a fun-filled musical.G.So if you're tired of all that Hollywood actions, check out the following Bollywood films.第五篇：The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.

But try not to do so. 3 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it.

When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything.

This helps us decide what to wear. 1 . We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide. 2 .The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts(收缩). That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube. 3 .First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap ; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole.4 .Finally. Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water lever easily.5 .As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week.A.We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other thingsin our daily lives.B.Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same waywhen they are heated or cooled.C.Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.D.The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water willexpand and rise even higher.E.They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100degrees.F.Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal 把..粘住) them together.G.People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around theworld.第七篇：_ 1 _ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club．It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays．The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club． _2 _ Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things?

They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.71 Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. 72Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.73 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “74 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry.75A.In general the person feels excited and ready to actB.They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.C.Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing itD.Anger may cause you a cancer.E.Do not express your anger while angry.F.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.G.Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.第十篇：The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before. But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 71 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 72If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner.

Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of._72 Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live.

专项练习一For over one hun dred and fifty years, America ns of all social classes have worn blue jeans. Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today . Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among America ns but also among people around the world .Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829 . 2 He grew up in Kentucky before moving toNew York in 1847. Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods bus in ess . This gave him a cha nee to produce his famous invention . After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes .Strauss did not want to be a pers on who searched an area for min erals . In stead, he knew he could make a good livi ng by sell ing supplies to the miners . At first, he pla nned to sell sew ing supplies and cloth . 3 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily brokenor they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners . These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more .In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor n amed Jacob Davis who had inven ted a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets （铆钉）. This made the pants last a long time . Because Davis did not have the money to pate nt his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the pate nt . 4 .By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion .5__ The bus in ess has bee n grow ing ever since and Levi Strauss' compa ny is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world .A .

They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago . 1 The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly . Our bodies have not been able to deal with these cha nges in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sick nesses . 2 So they arecalled "diseases of civilization" . Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scie ntists no ted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 3 However, a change in food is one of the maindifferences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hun ted wild ani mals for their meat, which had much less fat tha n domestic ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits . They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. 4 We eat six times more salt than ourancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.5 But scie ntists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the an cie nt people did, cutt ing the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.A. Stone Age people lived a simple life.B. But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.C. In that case, they would live much healthier.D. Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.E .

It will keep kids home from school.1_Employees will sudde nly lose their ability to concen trate.The di sease, known as “ March Madness ” , refers to the yearl^teOm US men '-s college basketball tournament （锦标赛）. 2 Teams compete against each other in a single -elim in ati on （单局淘汰）tour name nt that even tually crow ns a n ati onal champi on.Nearly 20 milli on America ns will find themselves pris oners of basketball festival madn ess. The fun comes partly from guess ing the winners for every game. Frie nds compete aga inst frien ds. 3_Colleagues aga inst bosses.Big - name schools are usually favored to advanee into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little —known uni versities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with30,000, for many America ns, is an excit ing experie nee. Two years ago, the little —known George Mason Un iversity was one of the final four teams.College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their uni versity andthemselves. 5 About $ 4 billi on will be spe nt gambli ng （赌）on the eve nt. Accord ing to Media Life magaz ine, the event will bring in $ 500 millio n in advertis ing in come this year, topp ing the post -seas on in come of every US professi on al league, in cludi ng that of the NBA.A.

Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thi ng as n ati onal character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs （企业家）in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile （敌意的）to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy（嫉妒） 1_Jealousy is sometimes known as the eye（gree n ster ” and the UK is its home.Scie ntists at Warwich Uni versity in the UK recen tly tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imagi nary amount of mon ey. 2 Those give n a little were give n the cha nee to destroy the large amount of money give n to others -but at the cost of losi ngtheir own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.3_. But there is also opposite evidenee. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world ' s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work Ion ger hours tha n anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“ Itis not really success that the British dislike, s a ys Carey Cooper, a professor of man ageme nt at the Uni versity of Man chester In stitute of Science and Tech no logy. "It people using their success in a way that seems proud or un fair or which separates them from their roots.4 They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours.

This seems to prove that the en trepre neurs were right to complai n.B. The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C. As a result, the survey said, en trepre neurs were“ uni oved, unwan ted and misun derstood.D」t is not true that British people are born jealous of others' success.E. Some were give n a little, others a great deal.F. But in stead of being happy they compla in that no body loves them.G. Perhaps it is the en trepre neurs who are the problem.专项练习五1_ When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view.The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. 2 .The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: cloth ing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of America ns. _ It in cluded such items as automobile sand newhouses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. The n, in the late 1950s a fourth leve l of wants appeared: the -enricH i feg ” level. While the other levels involve physicalsatisfaction —the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body —this level stresses men tal n eeds for recog niti on, achieveme nt and happ in ess. It i ncludes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called"luxury ” items. Among them are vacation trips, thebest medical care, and en terta inment. 4One this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spe nt on goods. Will con sumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their in come in creases, or will they continue to dema nd luxuries and pers onal services on the fourth level?A fifth level probably would in volve wants that can be achieved best by com mun ity actio n. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignoran ce, crime and prejudice. 5 In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.A. Then a third level appeared.B. Human wants seem endless.C. When there is money eno ugh to satisfy one level of wan ts, ano ther level appears.D. There are several levels of wants in one ' s life.E. At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.F. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.G. Different people have different wants on each level.专项练习六We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don a very good ' t do job. 1 .So, you have to give a speech — and you are terrified.

J___ Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. 3._. If laughter exercises the body, it must be ben eficial.Other tests have show n that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body.
