There was once a famous scientist who made several important discoveries. Once he was asked how he could be so creative. He replied that it all came from an experience he had with his mother when he was 2 years old. He was trying to take a bottle of milk out of the refrigerator. But the bottle was too slippery（滑的）and he dropped it. The kitchen floor was covered in milk.
Instead of shouting at him or punishing him, his mother said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have never seen such a huge puddle of milk. Would you like to play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”
So he did. After a few minutes, they cleaned it up together. Then his mother said, “This was a failed experiment in how to carry a big bottle of milk with two tiny hands. Let’s fill the bottle with water and see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it.”
The little boy learned that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!
The scientist then added that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. He learned that mistakes are just opportunities to learn something new.

Do you live in a city? You’ve probably noticed how noisy and crowded life in a city can be. What if you could live next to a calm lake instead?
As it turns out, living near bodies of water – lakes, rivers, ponds, even oceans – can help us feel both happier and healthier. Those who live less than a kilometer from the coast are around 22 percent less likely to have mental health problems than those who live 50 kilometers or more away, according to a study by researchers from the University of Exeter, UK. People who visit the coast at least twice a week tend to experience better general and mental health as well.
So how does “blue space” make us feel better? For on e thing, aquatic environments tend to have less pollution and more sunlight, both of which are linked to better mental and physical health. People who get more sun tend to be happier than those who do not. There’s also the air above the sea. After spending time near the ocean,you might find that you feel more relaxed than usual. This is because sea air is filled with negative ions（负离子）. These ions balance our levels of serotonin（血清素）, a chemical that affects our moods. With balanced serotonin levels, we feel more calm and relaxed, according to Daily Mail.
Finally, people who live near water tend to be more physically active, according to the Guardian. Water sports like swimming and rowing can help us stay in shape, which in turn keeps us healthy.
8. What did the researchers from the University of Exeter find?
A. Living near water can improve our mental health.
B. An increasing number of people don’t like living in cities.
C. Living near water has more advantages than living in cities.
D. People with mental health problems mainly come from cities.
9. The underlined word “aquatic” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “_____”.
A. natural
B. outdoor
C. oceanic
D. clean
10. What do we know about negative ions?
A. They are chemicals in our bodies.
B. They can only be found in sea air.
C. They can help people reduce stress.
D. They increase serotonin in our bodies.
11. In which column can you find this passage?
A. Health.
B. Travel.
C. Environment.
D. Entertainment.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. A

In this digital age, people measure their popularity by the number of likes and followers they get on social media. But as it turns out, people are happiest when their friends are high quality –not high quantity.
Scientists from the University of Leeds, UK, studied data from two online surveys of nearly 1,500 people. Those who took the survey gave details about their age, social interactions, and how satisfied they were with their social lives. The researchers found that those who had a small number of close friends generally tended to be happier than those who had a large number of superficial(关系浅表的)friends.
“Loneliness has less to do with the numbe r of friends you have, and more to do with how you feel about your friends,” said Wandi Bruine de Bruin, one of the researchers.
Bruine de Bruin found that older people tended to have smaller social circles than young people, but the people in these circles tended to be closer to them.
Younger people, on the other hand, tended to have bigger circles that were made up of “peripheral(次要的)others” – people who are not true friends, but just people they know. These people had no influence on the younger intervie wees’ happiness.
The results of the study show that the opinion society has about old people being sad and lonely might not be accurate.
“The research shows that older adults’ smaller networks didn’t prevent social satisfaction and happiness. In fact, older adults tend to report better well-being than younger adults,” said Bruine de Bruin.
12. According to the study, people tend to be happier when they _____.
A. have a small circle of close friends
B. are satisfied with their work and lives
C. have a lot of followers on social media
D. make friends with people who are older
13. What do we know from Paragraphs 4 and 5?
A. Older people’s friends seem to be of higher quality.
B. Young people don’t need to make peripheral friends.
C. Older people’s happiness has nothing to do with their friends.
D. Both old and young people find it hard to make close friends.
14. Which word might Bruine de Bruin use to describe older adults?
A. Sad.
B. Happy.
C. Lonely.
D. Superficial.
15. What is the focus of the story?
A. Different types of friends.
B. Changes in people’s happiness levels.
C. Interactions between old and young people.
D. The relationship between happiness and number of friends.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. D
【12题详解】
