A
I like watching butterflies. Sometimes I think I’m the only girl who notices these quiet but beautiful things. But if it hadn’t been for a crowded restaurant, I wouldn’t have ever noticed Valeri.
Valeri was a new student. She walked to class with her books against her chest and her head down. She talked only when the teacher asked her a question. After a month at our school, she hadn’t made any friend.
One day at lunch, most tables being full,I had nowhere to sit. Valeri sat alone, book in hand. I walked over to her,“Is that a good book?〞Valeri gave a small nod and went back to reading. “What’s it about?〞I asked. After seconds of silence, she looked at me, her eyes shining,“Well, it’s about a dragon! Thi s boy, Eragon, finds this dragon egg when he goes playing one day. He thinks it’s a rock!The egg hatches〔孵化〕and Eragon hides the dragon from his cousin and uncle until it gets too big .〞
Two weeks later, I was sitting in the auditorium〔礼堂〕enjoying the talent show. Then a shy girl walked on stage. I recognized her immediately. Valeri held a violin in one hand and a bow in the other.She started to play. The notes formed a soft, sweet tune. The auditorium fell completely silent until we realized the music was finished. I smiled to myself. Valeri wasn’t just“a quiet girl〞. She knew about wonderful books and could play the violin like nothing I’d ever heard. Like a butterfly, she was beautiful and amazing when you looked closely.

In a very special course at KnnetSchool, the social-science teacher Adam Smith guides his students through the “mar ried life〞. Unlike the traditional course, Adam makes his students experience the real problems married ones may face like housingand child care. “No one tells kids about money-managing problems,〞says Adam.
Each student should act out in ten weeks what normally takes couples ten years to finish. In the first week, one member of each couple is asked to get an after school job—a real one. During the term, the income rules their life-style. In the third week, the couples must find an apartment they can afford.
In the fifth week, the couples “have a baby〞and then struggle to cover the costs of baby clothes and furniture. In week eight, the marriage comes to the breaking point by such disaster as a mother-in-law’s moving in or death. It’s all over by week ten (the tenth year of marriage). After
serious discussion with lawyers about alimony (赡养费) and child support, the students get divorced (离婚) .
Adam’s course, which has “married〞1,000 students since its beginning six years ago, is widely supported by parents and students. Some of the students have found the experience making them realize their real life marry plans are wrong. Marianne Baldrica, 16, who tried “marriage〞last term with her boyfriend Eric Zook, 15, said, “ Eric and I used to get along pretty well before we took the course together. But I wanted to live in the city, he wanted the country. He wanted lots of kids, I wanted no kids. It’s been four weeks since the course ended and Eric and I are just starting to talk to each other again.〞

The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and for the environment. Those findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.
David Tilman is a professor at the University of Minnesota. In the study, he examined information from 100 nations to show what people ate and how diet affected health.Mr. Tilman noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized(工业化), population increased and earnings rose. More people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatterand sicker.
“The food, let us say, in the 15 richest nations of the world, right now contains about 400 or 500 extra calories(热量) a day that are eaten beyond what people need, and that leads people to gain weight.〞
David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for diseases like diabetes, heart disease and some cancers.Diabetes is shooting to very high rates in the United States and across Europe. Heart disease is a major cause of death in the Western nations. Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these same health problems.
A diet bad for human beings, it see ms, is also bad for the environment. As the world’s population grows, experts say more forests and areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for raising cattle. These areas will be needed to meet the increasing demand for food.
Mr. Tilman calls th e link between diet, the environment and human health, “a dilemma〞, a situation where it is very difficult to decide what to do. He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.
29. Why did people get fatter in the 1960s?
A. They ate foods high in calories.
B. They adopted a western lifestyle.
C. They set aside little time for exercise.
D. They had a better life and became lazier.
30. According to the text, overweight people may suffer the following diseases EXCEPT_______.
A. diabetes
B. skin disease
C. cancers
D. heart disease
31. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A. There will be fewer and fewer forests.
B. People won’t care about the environment.
C. The world’s population will grow faster than ever.
D. Raising cattle will be the most moneymaking business.
32. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?
A. To tell people effective ways to keep healthy.
B. To call on people to give up the Western diet.
C. To show the problems industrialized nations are facing.
D. To draw people’s attention to environmental protection.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

It is generally believed that money can’t buy happiness. However, that may not be always true. According to a recent article, in the last few years, new research has given us a far deeper understanding of the relationship between what we earn and how we feel. Broadly speaking, people with higher incomes are happier than those who struggle to get by. But it also shows you need to spend wisely if you expect those bank notes to put a smile on your face. 33
1. Buy experiences, not material goods.
In a recently published study, Professor Ryan at San Francisco State University in the US, found that when people don’t have much money to spare, they tend to stick to material goods. 34 But they actually provide both more happiness and more lasting value.
2. 35
No matter how much money you spend on something and how special that product is, you will get used to having it over time and lose interest in it. With the same money you spend on one big object, you can buy many little things. Buying small things means you can get frequent small pleasures.
3. Be sure to buy time.
36 For example, that big house in the suburbs may seem like a good idea, but a 2014 study by researchers from University of Zurich in Switzerland found that people with longer time on the way reported lowerlife satisfaction, all other things being equal.
4. Try giving it away.
Elizabeth Dunn, professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada, found that in nations as diverse as Canada, South Africa and Uganda, giving away money consistently made people happier. 37 来自加拿大的不列颠哥伦比亚大学的心理学副教授伊丽莎白•邓恩如此发现，不论在加拿大，还是在南非、乌干达等很多国家，时不时地向他人施舍钱财会让人感觉更幸福。

而这也同样适用于并不富裕的人群，乐善好施也能为他们带来幸福感。

Be sure to buy what you like.
Here are some ways to better spend your money.
Buy lots of little things, rather than one big thing.
There are a lot of reasons someone might buy something.
People thinkexperiencesonly provide temporary happiness.
This was even true when people giving away were relatively poor.
Consider how the things you buy will affect how you spend your time.
