What is the secret of happiness? A new study finds that happiness comes from exercise. People who exercise actively bring themselves happiness equal to earning an extra $25,000 ayear.
Instead of recording extra hours at work in hopes of getting a raise, maybe you should hit the gym instead, as it could make you just as happy as that extra money. An interesting new study, published in the Lancet, found that people who are physically active have a greater sense of well—being than those who are inactive-and that active individuals feel as good as inactive people who earn $ 25,000 more per year.
Researchers from Oxford and Yale Universities used data gathered from more than 1.2milion Americans. They were asked, “How many times have you felt mentally unwell in the past30 days. for example, due to stress, depression, or emotional problems?” Participants were also asked about their exercise habits and were able to choose from 75 diverse physical activities, including doing housework and childcare, running, weightlifting, and cycling. The researchers found that people who exercise regularly feel bad for an average of 35 days per year, while inactive people feel bad for an additional 18 days.
All exercise types were associated with a lower mental health burden. Social physical activities（that is to say, team sports such as football, basketball, etc）had an even more positive effect, which can best help people relax mind.
It is possible for some to get too much exercise. From Business Insider'sreport on the study. “The mental health of those participants who exercised for longer than three hours a day suffered more than that of those who weren't particularly physically active.” The ideal amount seems to be three to five training sessions per week. lasting 30 to 60 minutes each.
But the conclusion should be that any amount helps, so don't stress about hitting that perfect balance: “All exercise types were associated with a lower mental health burden than not exercising.”
4. The question asked in Paragraph one is meant to ______.
A. introduce the researchers
B. tell the secret
C. draw a conclusion
D. lead to the topic
5. Which exercise below can help us relax mind most effectively?
A. Running
B. Walking alone.
C. Playing football
D. Keeping fit in the
gym.
6. According to the passage, the following are true EXCEPT that ______.
A. people who exercise actively may feel bad for about 35 days per year.
B. The more exercise you take, the higher mental health burden you will get.
C. overdoing exercising will do harm to people's mental health.
D. doing exercise is better than not doing it.
7. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Exercise can bring as much pleasure as an income rise.
B. The secret of happiness has nothing to do with wealth.
C. Choosing the right form of exercise is of vital importance.
D. The key to keep young is to exercise regularly.
C
A new look for technology, Solestrom’s new high-tech swimsuits promise to stand out all summer long. First in their new products is Solestrom’s new SmartSwimCMUV Smart Bikini featuring a smart UV meter.
The bikini collects UV information through a smart fabric belt and reports the UV index to the wearer with 0.01 exactness. The electronic parts are neatly built into the removable belt, and can be worn even underwater. Next in the list is a lower cost cousin, the SmartSwimCMUV Index Detector Bikini, which has UV sensitive beads that change color1 with the level of UV intensity. The reading gives more of a range rather than an exact number, but for those who simply need to know if the UV is low, moderate or high, this bikini fits the bill.
It is now available in Banana Split, more color1 s may become available later in the season. And finally, what could be better than a beach tote with built in energy source?

A satellite is about to demonstrate a new way of capturing space junk with magnets for the first time. With the frequency of space launches dramatically increasing in recent years, the potential for a disastrous collision above Earth is continually growing. Now, Japanese orbital clean-up company Astroscale is testing a potential solution.
The firm's End-of-Life Services by Astroscale demonstration mission is scheduled to lift off on 20 March aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. It consists of two spacecraft: a smal “client” satellite and a larger “servicer” satellite, or “chaser”. The smaller satellite is equipped with a magnetic (磁力的) plate which allows the chaser todock withit.
The two stacked spacecraft will perform three tests once in orbit, each of which will involve the servicer satellite releasing and then recapturing the client satellite. The first test will be the simplest, with the client satellite drifting a short distance away and then being recaptured. In the second test, the servicer satellite will set the client satellite tumbling before catching up with it and matching its motion to grab it.
Finally, if those two tests go well, the chaser will live up to its name by letting the client satellite float a few
hundred metres away before finding it and attaching to it. All of these tests will be performed autonomously, with little to no human input once they are set in motion.
“These kinds of demonstrations have never been done before in space - they are very different to, say, an astronaut controlling a robotic arm on the International Space Station,” says Jason Forshaw at AstroscaleUK.“This is more of an autonomous mission.” At the end of the tests, both spacecraft will burn up in Earth's atmosphere.
If companies wanted to use this capability, they would have to attach a magnetic plate to their satellites so they could be captured later. Because of the growing space garbage problem, many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites once they run out of fuel or fail, so this could be a fairly simple likely plan, Forshaw says. Right now, each chaser can only nab one satellite, but Astroscale is working on a version that could drag three or four out of orbit at once.
12. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "dock with" in Paragraph 2?
A. Deal with.
B. Keep up with.
C. Join together.
D. Crash.
13. Why many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites?
A. Because of the growing space waste problem.
B. Because the frequency of space launches are dramatically increasing.
C. Because they can earn large profits from it.
D. Because Astroscale has found a new method of capturing the space garbage.
14. What will Astroscale do to solve the space junk problem?
A. An astronaut controls a robotic arm on the International Space to capture the “client” satellite.
B. Through a magnetic plate remotely controlled by humans on the ground to catch the “client” satellite.
C. Finding the "client "satellite and attaching to it with a magnetic plate automatically.
D. Tumbling to match the motion of “client satellite the drag three or four satellites out of its orbit into atmosphere.
15. What can we infer from the passage?
A. People will bum the space junk up in Earth's atmosphere in the future.
B. Japan andRussiawill conduct space debris cleanup experiment together.
C. These kinds of demonstrations have never been done before.
D. The demonstration mission will be divided into three phases.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项“You are what you eat.”___16___. But the opposite is also true. In fact, if you’re between the ages of 10 and 19, eating too much junk food can harm your body and your brain.
Junk food shapes adolescent brains in ways thatimpair their ability to think, learn and remember. It can also make it harder to control impulsive behaviors, says Amy Reichelt.___17___.
She and two other researchers at Western recently reviewed more than 100 studies (including their own) about how poor food choices can impact adolescent brains.
They discovered one problem: Adolescent brains are not yet fully formed.___18___. First, adolescent brains are still developing the ability to assess risks and control actions. Second, teen brains get more pleasure than adult brains do from rewarding behaviors such as eating junk food. Third, adolescent brains can be more easily influenced by their environment.___19___. It can also be influenced by diet. Together, these all can combine to make junk food both hard to resist and extra bad for teen health.
Other researchers have found links between brain health and what teenage kids eat. Felice Jacka is one of them. She is an expert in nutrition and psychiatry atDeakinUniversityinVictoria,Australia.
In one 2013 study, she and her team recruited more than 2,000 11- to 14-year-olds living inLondon,England. They analyzed their emotions and behavior over the previous two weeks in the research. The researchers scored each kid’s answers for signs of depression, and found adolescents who ate the most junk food were nearly 50 percent more likely to show signs of depression.
___20___. The data are unclear. Some research suggests that processed foods, such as lunch meat, increases inflammation（炎症）in the body and the brain. Inflammation is one of the body’s responses to cellular injury and involves swelling. Other research has linked inflammation with depression.
A. Why might eating junk food be linked to depression?
B. This can include any stress you’re feeling, any isolation or any drugs you may be taking.
C. And that actually leads to three problems.
D. When people say that, they mean a healthy diet can boost your health.
E. That means eating junk food does harm to adolescent health.
F. It may even up a teen’s risk of depression and anxiety,she notes.
G. Why should adolescents resist eating junk food?
