26、   No doubt there are ups and downs in life. Whatever the situation is, you shouldn’t lose your joy of life. Life is for a limited period only and no one knows how long he/she will live, so why do you waste your precious time in worrying about the things that are beyond your control? Be happy, and enjoy your life unconditionally (无条件地).

You enjoy good days but you also need to learn how to enjoy bad days, even enjoy your pain. In 2016 when I was in Geneva, Switzerland, I suffered a sudden heart attack. My colleagues called an ambulance and I was taken to hospital with much pain in my chest. Before reaching hospital, I was totally exhausted with pain and was going to lose control of my emotions. Then the doctor in the ambulance said, “Don’t worry; you are in safe hands.” His words took away all my pain because I started realizing that it was no time to worry about pain and it’s time to be happy that my life was safe. At that time, I learnt an important lesson that in pain there is a hidden joy and whoever sees the bright side can enjoy pain. My pain turned into a joy which greatly helped me recover more quickly than expected.

You not only enjoy success but you also need to learn to enjoy failure. Failure provides you with an opportunity to benefit from so many choices you’ve made. Celebrating failure will raise your morale and make you more powerful and determined to achieve success. We all make mistakes in life but only the courageous (勇敢的) people not only laugh at their own mistakes but also let other people laugh at them and then they reach success without any spiritual burden (负担). A person who learns from mistakes and knows how to turn the bad situation into his/her favor is the most intelligent person and really enjoys his/her life.

A.Life is full of ups and downs. B.People’s lives only last a limited period.

C.is ready to do others a favor D.is good at learning from mistakes

27、People eat more when they are glued to the television, and the more entertaining the program is, the more they eat, according to a new research.

It seems that distracted(分心的)brains do not notice what the mouth is doing, said Dr. Alan Hirsch, neurological director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago.

Hirsch explored the impact of smell, taste and eating behaviors while watching TV by measuring potato chip consumption. Forty-five volunteers ate as many chips as they wanted every six minutes while they watched monologues by late-night talk show hosts David Letterman and Jay Leno. They were still given chips to eat when the television was off. Hirsch found people ate an average of 44 percent more chips while watching Letterman and 42 percent more while viewing Leno, than when they did not watch TV.

If you concentrate on how the food tastes, you'll eat less because you'll feel full faster, "Hirsch said in an interview at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in Toronto. So if that's the case, let's look at the opposite. What if you're distracted? If you're distracted, in theory, then you'd eat more."

Through his research at the foundation, Hirsch has helped people overcome the loss of sense of smell and sense of taste. which typically results in weight gain because the brain does not know when it should stop eating.

The ventromedial nucleus(腹内侧核)in the hypothalamus( 下 丘脑)， where the so-called satiety(饱腹感)center is located. tells the body whether it is hungry or full. It is inhibited or tricked, the result can be changes in eating patterns, he said.

People who cook spaghetti all day don't feel like eating spaghetti at the end of the day, "said Hirsch," By being exposed to a smell all day long it's tricking the hypothalamus."

Volunteers were asked to concentrate on the sensory characteristics of the food such as taste and smell. Researchers say these sensory clues, in addition to inner body changes. mark satiety.

But when distracted. a person does not pay attention to either the body's sensations of feeling full, or to the sensory characteristics of the food.

Many studies have linked being fat to watching television and that link is likely due to inactivity, Hirsch said. But perhaps entertaining shows are also contributing.

"If you want to lose weight, turn off the television or watch something boring," he said.

【1】When Hirsch conducted the research, he______

A．evaluated the degree of the volunteers' loss of taste.

B．measured the amount of the chips the volunteers ate.

C．analyzed the volunteers' preference on TV programs.

D．counted the minutes the volunteers spent on TV programs.

【2】According to the research, when will you feel full faster?.

A．When we are distracted.

B．When we focus on how the food tastes.

C．When we are watching entertaining programs.

D．When the brain doesn't know when it should stop eating.

【3】Why does the author mention "People who cooks paghetti all day don't feel like eating it at the end of the day"?

A．It tells us that eating spaghetti is inhabited.

B．It indicates that spaghetti doesn't taste good at the end of the day.

C．It tells us that people who cook spaghetti don' like eating spaghetti.

D．It shows that smell is "telling" the hypothalamus that the body is full.

【4】What is the main purpose of the article?

A．To prove that being fat is linked to inactivity.

B．To reveal the relationship between TV programs and eating behaviors.

C．to explain why watching television makes people eat more and gain weight.

D．To find how sensory characteristics of the food affects people's feelings of eating.

28、   Reports tell us that Americans work more and vacation less than people in other major developed countries. Still millions of Americans do try to get away from home for a week or two in the summer months. Some might even have the time and money to spend longer on vacation.

For example, many retired(退休的) Americans can be found driving around the United States in big recreational vehicles, known as R.V's. These serve as a home away from home. In fact, It might even be their only home as they see the country.

Some American families get in their cars and drive to historic places like Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. There, they can experience what life was like for early Americans. If that is not exciting enough, also in Williamsburg is a water park and an amusement park with rides.

Other Americans visit national parks like Yellowstone or Yosemite out in the West. They want to spend time with nature. Or they take their vacation by a lake or the ocean. They might swim or fish. But many just want to sit and enjoy the feeling of doing nothing, except maybe reading a book.

Some families fly to other countries on vacation. Or they go on a cruise ship and stop in different ports. Cruise ships are like floating cities.

But not everyone goes someplace special on vacation. This might be the only time for people to work on things like home improvement projects. And while they do that, they might think of all the fun their friends are having.

【1】What can be the best title for the text?

A.Not all Americans take summer vacations.

B.Americans enjoy more work and less vocation.

B.They can imagine what fun their friends are having on vacation.

C.They fully enjoy doing their work on home improvement projects.

29、阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项.

Philosophers from Aristotle to the Beatles have argued that money does not buy happiness. But it seems to help. Since 2005，Gallup, a pollster (民意调查) has asked a representative sample of adults from countries across the world to rate their life satisfaction on a scale from zero to ten. The headline result is clear : the richer the country, on average, the higher the level of self-reported happiness. The simple correlation (相关性) suggests that doubling GDP per person lifts life satisfaction by about 0.7 points.

Yet the prediction that as a country gets richer, its mood will improve has an unclear record. In 1974 Richard Easterlin, an economist, discovered that average life satisfaction in America had failed to develop between 1946 and 1970 even as GDP per person had grown by 65% over the same period. He went on to find a similar disconnection in other places, too. Although income is correlated with happiness when looking across countries—and although economic downturns are reliable sources of short-term suffering—long-term GDP growth does not seem to be enough to turn the average frown (皱眉) upside-down.

The “Easterlin paradox (悖论)” has been hotly debated since, with some economists claiming to find a link between growth and rising happiness by using better quality data. On March 20th the latest Gallup data were presented in the World Happiness Report, an annual UN-backed study. The new data provide some evidence for both sides of the debate, but on the whole, suggest that the paradox is alive and well.

There are important examples of national income and happiness rising and falling together. The most significant—in terms of population—is China, where GDP per person has doubled over a decade, while average happiness has risen by 0. 43 points. Among rich countries, Germany enjoys higher incomes and greater cheer than ten years ago. Venezuela, once the fifth-happiest country in the world, has become miserable as its economy has collapsed. Looking across countries, growth is correlated with rising happiness.

Yet that correlation is very weak. Of the 125 countries for which good data exist, 43 have seen GDP per person and happiness move in opposite directions. Like China, India is a populous developing economy that is growing quickly. But happiness is down by about 1.2 points in the past decade. America, the subject of Easterlin’s first study, has again seen happiness fall as the economy has grown. In total, the world’s population looks roughly equally divided between places where happiness and incomes have moved in the same direction over the past ten years, and places where they have separated.

【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A.Economic downturns do not cause people’s unhappiness.

B.Economic growth increased average life satisfaction in America.

C.Long-term GDP growth does not necessarily make people happy.

D.The correlation between people’s mood and income can be predicted.

【2】Which of the following countries has both a better economy and happier people?

A.India. B.America. C.Venezuela. D.China.

【3】The passage is mainly developed by__________.

A.giving explanations B.presenting research data

C.giving definition D.listing examples

【4】Which of the following does the writer probably agree with?

A.The relationship between economic growth and rising happiness is uncertain.

B.Countries with similar population tend to have more things in common.

C.Half of the world enjoys growth when economy and mood are positive.

D.National income and happiness will always rise and fall regularly.

30、   The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often____about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.

Could you help me, Suzy?”

award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students ____them.”

I could hear everyone ____. “Who in our school could draw that well?”

Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “____this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a ____, too. Our mystery (神秘) artist is our new student-- Suzy Khan!”

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The view that the spirit of adventure no longer has any scope for its enterprise seems, at first glance, depressingly true. The highest mountains have been scaled; the deepest seas plumbed. Maps today no longer contain huge blanks marked "Unknown Territory", nor do they make random guesses at the shapes of 【1】 land-masses. All major journeys of exploration to 【2】 the true shape and nature of the globe have been made in the past. It was left to us to fill in the details with 【3】 which once would have been considered impossible. The gaps have been 【4】. What next?

The obvious answer, of course, is that man is now looking upwards into space. Discoveries are being made at such a tremendous rate that even authors of science-fiction are finding it difficult to keep up with them and have to tax their imagination to invent bigger and better space-craft. Satellites sending signals as they swing round our globe have become 【5】.

Astronauts have successfully landed on the moon and its entire surface has been photographed. The information that satellites may provide fueling stations for manned rockets no longer strikes us as preposterous. If thirty years ago, a scientist has urged that we send messages into outer space in the hope of receiving an answer, he would have been regarded as either irresponsible or mad. Now, anything seems 【6】.

From dreams like these, we return to earth with a bump. Trips into space are all very well, but they are not for us; we must 【7】 ourselves with our own, much-traveled world. The earth itself is the training-ground for adventurous spirits, for "adventure" need not mean the seeking out of something new. A person can be called adventurous when he finds out something for himself, and it does not matter how many times the discovery has been made before. No one would say that men who set out now to cross the forbidding Antarctic are less enterprising than their predecessors who tried to do the same thing. The little boy who climbs the small hill that 【8】 his town, or even he who tries to climbs and fails, has precisely the same spirit that led Hillary to climb Everest. For the bold spirit and inquiring mind, there are inexhaustible possibilities. So long as there are people willing to 【9】 places that are well-known, there will be those who will, one day, set foot on remote and 【10】 shores.
