26、   True happiness lies in rewarding relationships, not material wealth, according to new research. Scientists have said that a close circle of friends and family is most important for happiness, and that owning things such as iPhones, computers, being wealthy and owning a sports car do not provide the same level of satisfaction.

The study was done by psychologists at the Sahlgrenska Academy and Lund University, in Sweden. The experts analyzed(分析) articles in Swedish newspapers published in 2010 and recorded which words most often occurred in the same articles as the Swedish word for happiness. In this way, they could know our common happiness.

Co-author Dr Danilo Garcia, a researcher at the Sahlgrenska Academy’s Centre for Ethics, Law and Mental Health, said, “It’s relationships that are most important, not material things that we possess, and this is in line with other findings in happiness research.”

The study, which contained more than 10 million words, showed that terms such as “grandmother” and personal pronouns such as “you”, “me”, “us” and “them” often emerge in the same article as the Swedish word for happiness. Researchers found that words such as “iPhone”, “millions” and “Google” almost never appear with the word “happiness”.

The study is a part of a larger research project on how people describe both positive and negative events in their lives. The researchers believe that the word analysis reflects a common perception among the members of our society as to what should make us happy.

Dr Danilo Garcia said, “Just as the Beatles sang, most people understand that money can’t buy you happiness or love. But even if we can understand the importance of close and warm relationships at a social level, it isn’t certain that everyone is aware that such relationships are actually necessary for our own personal happiness.”

【1】New research mainly shows that .

A.various things can lead to happiness in people

B.having some close friends is very important to us

C.owning expensive things can actually make us unhappy

D.rewarding relationships make us happy instead of material wealth

【2】What Dr Danilo Garcia said in Paragraph 3 shows that the new findings .

A.explain something new

B.are unbelievable to many people

C.prove material things are unimportant

D.confirm previous findings in happiness research

【3】Dr Danilo Garcia doubts whether .

A.money really buys us happiness or love

B.rewarding relationships really lead to personal happiness

C.close and warm relationships are important at a social level

D.all people know rewarding relationships lead to personal happiness

【4】How did the experts arrive at their findings?

A.By doing surveys.

B.By doing experiments.

C.By analyzing printed articles.

D.By referring to previous studies.

27、   Did you ever wonder why you have no memory of when you were a baby or very young child?The question of why adults do not remember how they learned to walk or talk has long been a mystery.Researchers at Temple University in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania in the United States are looking into this question.

The study contained computer-based tests.The tests were designed to work like games.They were given to 32 four-year-olds,32 six-year-olds and 50 young adults.The tests measured the memory process that helps people recognize differences between experiences.For example:A walk with your dog when you saw a friend,and a different walk without your dog or when you did not see your friend.

The second test was showing the children and young adults taking the test a number of photographs.They were asked to compare the first group of photos with a second set of pictures.Sometimes,the two sets of photos were the same.But other times,they were different.

The results showed that in both tests,six-year-olds showed far better memory than four-year-olds.That might help explain why adults do not remember when they learned to walk or talk,but they do remember their third,fourth or fifth birthdays.

“We don’t have any memories in the first two years of life,and all of a sudden we’re able to form these memories for something going on in early childhood or middle childhood.That’s very interesting,”said Zoe Ngo.

Researchers said doing some research on the memory is of great value as doctors are trying to develop a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.People with the disease suffer memory loss.For some people,memory loss is just for recent events.People may not remember what they did that morning,but remember experiences from 50 years ago.But memory loss research is not limited to helping patients with Alzheimer’s disease.It could also help find ways to get better and more reliable information about how to improve people’s memory.

【1】What do the researchers draw their attention to?

A.Why people fail to complete simple tasks.

B.Why people cannot recall their first few years of life.

C.Why people find it hard to learn special memory skills.

D.Why people have trouble forgetting past painful experiences.

【2】What is the purpose of the second test?

A.To check how people remember differences in objects.

B.To explain why people have better memory than before.

C.To prove when people show interest in beautiful pictures.

D.To show where people would like to take different photos.

【3】What can we infer from what Zoe Ngo said?

A.People are willing to share good old days.

B.People are likely to remember past special events.

C.People are afraid of getting unexpected bad results.

D.People are more concerned about their happy childhood.

【4】What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?

A.The way to deal with memory loss.

B.The importance of memory research.

C.The possibility of collecting information.

D.The measures to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.

28、RAMCO TECHNOLOGIES

Where Technology Shapes Tomorrow

Marketing @Ramco.comewww.Ramco.com

TO: Rachel Mohler, Vice President

Harrison Fontentot, Public Relations

FROM: Mike Gonzalez

SUBJECT: Three Ways to Increase Ramco’s Community Involvement

DATE: March 5, 2019

At our planning session in early February, our division managers stressed the need to generate favourable publicity for our new Ramco facility in Mayfield. Knowing that such publicity will highlight Ramco’s visibility in Mayfield, I think the company’s image might be enhanced in the following three ways.

CREATE A SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Ramco would receive favourable publicity by creating a scholarship at Mayfield Community College for any student interested in a career in technology. A one-year scholarship would cost $6,800. The scholarship could be awarded by a committee composed of Ramco executives. Such a scholarship would emphasize Ramco’s enthusiastic support for the latest technical education at a local college.

OFFER SITE TOURS

Guided tours of the Mayfield facility would introduce the community to Ramco’s innovative technology. These tours might be organized for academic, community, and civic groups. Individuals would see the care we take in protecting the environment in our production and equipment choices and the speed with which we ship our products. Of special interest to visitors would be Ramco’s use of industrial robots working alongside our employees. Since these tours would be scheduled in advance, they should not conflict with our production schedules.

PROVIDE GUEST SPEAKERS

Many of our employees would be excellent guest speakers at civic and educational meetings in the Mayfield area. Possible topics include the advances Ramco has made in designing and engineering and how these advances have helped consumers and the local economy.

Thanks for giving me your comments as soon as possible. If we are going to put one or more of these suggestions into practice before the facility opens in mid-April, we’ll need to act before the end of the month.

【1】If Ramco establishes a scholarship, it will _____.

A．benefit students at colleges in Mayfield

B．highlight Ramco’s support for the latest technical advances

C．be offered to MCC students interested in a career in technology

D．be jointly awarded by Ramco executives and college professors

【2】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．Site tours of Mayfield facility can be arranged at any time.

B．The three measures are scheduled to be carried out in mid-April.

C．The three measures are sure to create favourable image for Mayfield.

D．Guest speakers will talk about Ramco’s advances in designing and engineering.

【3】What type of writing is this passage?

A．A letter of introduction.

B．A letter of proposal.

C．A letter of recommendation.

D．A letter of complaints.

Most of the artists showed in their videos the slogan:”stay strong! We are with you, China !”

ASK planned to introduce top-class performances to a special venue at the Tianjin Grand Theater since this February, but this had to be postponed due to the outbreak of the epidemic(传染病)。

Helene Ducharme, director of Elisapee and the Northern Lights from the Canadian troupe Motus, led a group of local friends to shoot the video while she was doing a co-production in Africa, using different languages to encourage China’s efforts to combat the virus.

Tony Mack, chairman of Slingsby, an Australian performance troupe(剧团) which is famous for its Emil and the Detectives, said:“The medical workers: You are heroes. Thank you so much for standing on the front line, and you are not only keeping China safe but also the whole world safe!”

The ASK team said it will remain positive and active in connecting with audiences and followers by spreading online content to enhance energy, courage and creativity.

Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, 【2】invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.

A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable).

We have a pit bull(比特犬). We found him a few weeks ago, walking along the road in a rural area. He tried jumping on cars, and we thought maybe his family was camping somewhere nearby, so we passed him by. A few hours later, on our return trip, he was still in the same place, again, trying to get folks to stop for him. When he saw us, he lay down in the middle of the road, so we were unable to get around him.

We stopped the car and looked around for a few minutes, trying to figure out if anyone was around from whom he was separated. It didn’t appear so. Then, we took a good look at the dog. He had no collar and he was really thin. We decided he was deserted.

My husband sad, “If he doesn’t bite me when I try to pick him up to put him in the car, then we have a new dog.” The dog happily joined us with no fight at all. The only thing we were in danger of was getting licked to death. He kept sticking his head between the two front seats and thanking us for picking him up.

The dog was clearly on the road for some time, He was extremely under weight. He was covered in scars and new wounds. We have guessed that some of the scars were from when he was on the road. We thought of possible fights with coyotes(土狼), but he also looked as though he was used to fighting other dogs. We figured his incredibly sweet personality was the reason why he was deserted. He can’t have been a good fighting dog.

Therefore, we fed him a lot over the course of the next two weeks and he gained over twenty pounds.
