Based on a study in 40 countries over 23 years, a group of researchers found that if the basic needs are covered, wealth does not lead to more happiness. They explained that with an increasing income, demands and expectations are rising as well.

In Germany, for example, real income rose from 20, 000 euros in the 1980s to today's 34,000 euros, without an exact rise on happiness. My mother was born in the 1950s. She worked in a factory for more than 20 years without annual holidays for an income of 1, 500 yuan per month.  11   It’s unthinkable today for most of the young people in China. Even if wealth is rising in China, it doesn’t necessarily mean you will be happier. So what can we do to contribute to our happiness?

Set meaningful goals for yourself. Take a good long look at your life, your values, and the person you want to be. Set goals that are meaningful to you.  12 

Face the world around you openly with a smile and in a good mood. A great way to train your brain to be happier is to actively acknowledge the beauty of small moments and turn them into memorable “experiences.” Notice a gorgeous sunny day or a compliment from a friend, then take a photo, write a journal or Facebook entry or make a short video.

13    Researchers compared people who had the same number of close friends and found those who had similar interests were more satisfied with their lives.

Stay close to family. We live in a mobile society, where people follow jobs around the country and sometimes around the world. Why is it so?  14   But in fact our relationships with family members have a far greater impact on happiness. 

Look for the positive in all your experiences. It works like an echo：you get back what you send. 15    There’s always something we can worry about, but with the positive attitude “I will make it” you have made the first step.

A. But she felt happy and contented.

B. Make friends with those who share similar interests.

C. We should smile to friends who are ready to help others.

D. It isn’t important for people to do things in a positive way.

E. We do this because we think salary increases make us happier.

F. To be positive can help you experience more positive things.

G. Research suggests you’re more likely to achieve these goals and feel happier having done so.

    Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.

Our faces show emotions, but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as members of another culture, but it does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.

It is difficult to conclude about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.

6.     The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___.

    A. show friendliness to strangers       B. be used to hide true feelings

    C. be used in the wrong places        D. show personal habits

7.     What should we do before attempting to “read” people?

    A. Learn about their relations with others.

    B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.

    C. Find out about their past experience.

    D. Figure out what they will do next.

8.     What would be the best title for the test?

    A. Cultural Differences                B. Smiles and Relationships

    C. Facial Expressiveness                D. Habits and Emotions 

     61  (spend) too much time online can increase your risk of catching   62   cold or the flu，scientists have warned.

    Those with greater levels of Internet addiction are more likely to give in to illness   63  those who spend fewer hours online.

    Researchers believe the reason lies   64   the fact that people with an Internet addiction are more lonely，and as a result have   65   (weak) immune(免疫)systems.

    They said the lack of interaction with other people and less time ____66____(spend) outside exposing themselves to germs(细菌)played a role.

    Past studies also have    67   (find) people who spend more time online experience greater sleep problem,have   68  (bad) eating habits, do less exercise and tend to smoke and drink more alcohol.

    These   69  (behave) can harm their immune system and increase chances of getting diseases.

Professor Phil Read said, “We found that the impact of the Internet on people's health was independent of other factors，like depression，sleep problem，and loneliness， 70   are associated with  high levels of Internet use and also with poor health.

When I was 13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team. That meant   41   Miller King, who was the best   42   at our school.

Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out. I carried my football everywhere for   43  .

Just before September, Miller was struck by a car and lost his right arm. I went to see him after he came back from   44  . He looked very   45  , but he didn^’t cry.

That season, I   46   all of Miller’s records while he   47   the home games from the bench. We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player,   48   I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for Miller’s   49  .

One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller   50   going over a fence—which wasn’t   51   to climb if you had both arms. I’m sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept   52   from. But even that challenge he accepted. I   53   him move slowly over the fence. When we were finally   54   on the other side, he said to me, “You know, I didn’t tell you this during the season, but you did   55  . Thank you for filling in for   56  .”

His words freed me from my bad   57  . I thought to myself, how even without an arm he was more of a leader. Damaged but not defeated, he was   58   ahead of me. I was right to have   59   him. From that day on，I grew   60   and a little more real.

  Generations of children who sat through endless lessons of “chalk and talk” in front of a bossy teacher can take some relief. But the “chalk and talk” method helped them achieve better exam results. Modern classroom techniques may make school days a good deal happier, but satisfaction is not the road to success in examinations, according to university researchers.

Their three-year study, monitoring the progress of 2000 teenagers, tried to measure the influence of the “boredom factor” in 17 selected schools in the north of England. The researchers also found that the old-fashioned approach of teachers ordering pupils about is still alive and producing results. Their conclusions were welcomed yesterday by educationists who were worried by the shift to less formal lessons.

The pupils in the latest study were asked to award teachers marks to measure how frequently they followed or ignored today’s fashion for “child-centered” education. A five-point scale was given to spot the teachers who always told them what they should know and what to write down. “It was significant and not anything you would get by chance or accident. Certainly, when you compare the pupils’ interest and attitude to school, there is a quite definite and highly significant difference,” one of the researchers said. But the rankings were turned upside down when the team of four researchers looked at how the children did in examination. The sort of methods now frowned upon (不赞同) actually improve the final grades.

The researchers said, “There is nothing wrong with old-fashioned, didactic(说教性的) teaching in the fight place, even if it isn’t the flavor at the moment.” However, they insisted the best teachers had always mixed the two techniques to match the needs of pupils, although certain examinations forced some to concentrate more on dictation and learning by rote(死记硬背).

25. University researchers have discovered that _________.

A. modern teaching methods provide students with entertainment

B. students taught by modern techniques are happy and successful

C. traditional teaching methods help students get higher score

D. students like old teaching better than modern teaching at school

26. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that ____________.

A. child-centered education promotes friendship among children

B. the research findings are not significant enough for a conclusion

C. those who show greater interest in school did better in exams

D. those not showing much interest in school may turn out to score higher in tests

27. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?

A. The Examination-based Teaching

B. Rote Learning Was the Winner

C. The Problem of Child-centered Education

D. The Problem of the Traditional Method

Dog owners now have a little help understanding their angry friends. A new device called Bow-Lingual “translates” dog barks into English, Korea or Japanese.

Bow-Lingual’s Japanese inventors spent much time and money analyzing dog barks. They found that dog noises can be broken down into six different emotions: happiness, sadness, frustration, anger, assertion and desire. Part of the Bow-Lingual device hangs on the dog’s collar. The other part is a handle-held unit for the owner. When the dog barks, the unit displays translated phrases.

Some people have scoffed at Bow-Lingual. “Who would pay US $ 120 to read a dog’s mind?” they ask, but those who have purchased Bow-Lingual praise the device. Pet owner Keiko Egawa, of Japan, says it helps her empathize with her dog, Harry. “Before we go to the park, he always says he wants to play,” says Egawa, “and after a walk, he always says he is hungry. ”

Bow-Lingual is not yet available in Chinese. So you’d better keep studying Studio Classroom, or soon your dog may know more English than you do!

   Parents and grandparents are understandably proud of the quick minds and impressive talents of their little ones.

But let me tell you about another  41  , perhaps even more  42  , found in a little girl named Skylar.

However, her parents  46  her with a trip when she was four, and didn’t even  47  her to use her own money!

When Skylar returned, it was Christmas time. She wanted to buy   48  with her savings. But she also learned from announcements on TV about a local homeless   49   called “The Road House”. She repeatedly asked her mother what “homeless” meant and why those children 50 coats and warm clothes. She couldn’t seem to get the homeless off her  51  .

Her mother took her to the store to buy presents.  52  buying for herself or her family, however, she  53  to buy a warm coat, socks and gloves for a little girl in the shelter. She also wanted to buy a doll, but when she  54  she didn’t have enough money, she  55  the doll.

When Skylar got home, she  56  one of her favorite dolls and put it into the box with the other items she bought that day. She could  57  wait for Christmas! Skylar was thinking about going to the shelter and giving her  58  gifts to a homeless child. She was much filled with joy at truly59 someone else.

In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. These things come to represent, in fact, what I call    36   and love.

I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool. But he did

    37   the water. Any kind of    38   ride seemed to give him pleasure.    39   he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.

But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being

    40   the water, moving through it,    41   it all around me. I was not a strong

    42   , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my    43   . But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and    44   those summer days with my father, who    45    come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the    46   person not in swimsuit.

After swimming, I would go    47    his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me    48   anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk    49    he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his _50   . But my father always    51   and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s    52   .” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get    53    an ice cream.

A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is    54   .”

And I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that determines our memories, but    55   , in that childhood, look at us.

How do you improve your spelling? __36__Just as we learn spoken language by hearing lots of people speaking, we learn written language, including spelling, by reading what a lot of people write. Spelling is not about how a word sounds, it’s about how it looks on the page, which means you have to look at a lot of words on the page to learn the correct spelling about it.

 Make a list of your commonly misspelled words. __37__When you get a chance, look it up and put the correct spelling next to it.

__38__If you look it up more than once, add it to your personal list.

 Write! Write! Write! __39__When you look it up how to spell a word, write it down several times in a row and do it again a day or two later. __40__Write a blog, a journal, e-mails, a novel, anything that will keep you using words and pay special attention as you write to the words that come up wrong.

A.      There is no substitute(代替) for reading a lot.

B.      Put a mark next to every word you look up in the dictionary.

C.      Those of us who spell well have a hard time explaining it, too.

D.     Let others read your writings, and ask them to circle misspelled words.

E.      You’re trying to build up the motor memory of writing it correctly spelled.

       It's well-known that meditation (冥想) has many benefits, but do you know how to practice it for a beginner?

Set a proper scene

Find a space for meditation. It should be private and quiet. Make sure the temperature is comfortable. Sit on a cushion (垫子) if the floor is uncomfortable. You may play soft music if you like.

______________

Take a moment to loosen up. Remember that the goal of meditation is to relax. Loosen your clothing, remove your shoes and have a good stretch. Do your best to ease any muscle tension that might keep you from achieving relaxation. Make an effort to relax your facial muscles.

Focus on your breath

Sit down in the space you've prepared. Close your eyes and breathe. Each time you breathe in, count "one". Each time you breathe out, count "one". The idea is to strengthen being in the moment - the last breath doesn't matter, and the next one doesn't matter; only this one matters

Feel your breath inflate (胀大) your lungs and push on your diaphragm (隔膜). Feel how sweet it is to inhale the fresh air. As you do this, your body will gradually begin to relax and all of your attention will be centered within your mind.

       Return to real life

Once you feel fully centered in your mind, allow yourself to gradually drift back to real life. Move your fingers and toes and slowly wake your body up. Open your eyes and remain there for a few minutes until your senses come back, and then slowly stand up.

Even if you can't make it fully into your mind, you still get some benefits from it. If you want to feel better, you just need to practice. Set about 10 minutes around the same time every day and repeat this exercise.
