AEver since her husband went to work abroad, Mrs. Jackson has lived on her own in their big old suburban house, which was purchased by her husband about 20 years ago.Considering her safety, her son has been trying hard to ask her to sell the house and buy a new and small one in downtown. To his disappointment, Mrs. Jackson doesn’t accept the idea. She says that she has to look after their old house, as the family tie. But recently there are often stories about someone stealing things around here.It was a freezing day before Christmas Eve. At about four o’clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Jackson was enjoying some Christmas music when someone knocked at the door. She heard it but didn’t move. Another knock. Who might it be？ Mrs. Jackson was a little afraid. She determined not to answer the door but keep waiting. Then nothing strange happened and no more knocks. She waited a few minutes. She walked quietly to the door, and listened. She heard nothing but the wind outside. She slowly unfastened the door and looked outside through the crack. She then let out a cry and threw the door wide open! She could hardly believe her eyes. At the door she saw a tall, beautiful Christmas tree! In the tree was a Christmas card with the following words:Merry Christmas!Your new neighbor 21．It is because he thinks about _______ that her son wants her to change a place to live in.A．her health B．her safetyC．her mood D．her character22．The reason why Mrs. Jackson wants to keep the house is that _______.A．it is comfortableB．she can live aloneC．it is the family connectionD．its value can be higher23．When Mrs. Jackson “threw the door wide open”, she felt _______. A．frightened B．surprisedC．funny D．easyBA 12-year-old girl who had a slight feeling that she might be quite clever has taken a test and proved she was absolutely right.Lydia Sebastian achieved the top score of l62 on Mensa’s Cattell III B paper, suggesting she has a higher IQ than well-known geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.The comparison doesn’t sit well with the British student, who’s currently in Year 8 at Colchester County high school, a selective girl’s grammar school in Essex, England.“I don’t think I can be compared to such great intellectuals such as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. They’ve achieved so much. I don’t think it’s right.” Lydia told CNN.Lydia sat the test in her summer holidays, after raising the idea with her parents who were in favor of it after some time.It turns out the test wasn’t that hard after all.“I was really nervous before the test and I thought it was going to be really hard. But as I started the test, I thought it was a bit easier than l thought it was going to be,” she said.Lydia’s not quite sure what she wants to do when she goes to university, though she’s leaning toward something “based around math, because it’s one of my favorite subjects.”“All I’m going to do is work as hard as I can, and see where that gets me,” she said.To put Lydia’s mark in perspective, the top adult score in the Cattell III B test, which primarily tests verbal reasoning, is 161. A top 2％ score—which allows entry to Mensa, the club for those with high IQs—would be 148 or over. Lydia scored 162, placing her in the top l％ of the population.24．What can we know about Lydia from the passage？A．She is a middle school student.B．She is the cleverest student.C．She thinks she is cleverer than Einstein.D．She had thought the test was very easy.25．According to the passage, who supported her taking the test？A．Her teachers. B．Her classmates.C．Her friends. D．Her parents.26．If you want to enter Mensa, you have to ________.A．be as clever as Lydia in the testB．be able to attend a famous universityC．have a great interest in mathD．get at least 148 in the IQ test27．After Lydia graduates from high school, she will ________. A．major in math probably B．enter a clubC．never be nervous D．achieve a lotCAlibaba, Bank of China and Huawei—these are the dream employers for Chinese students, according to a new survey.“The survey of more than 55,000 students, conducted by the research firm Universum, has found that roughly a quarter wantto work for an international company, while only 9％ want to work for a start-up. Five percent want to start their own business.”The students said that work-1ife balance was the most important career goal, followed by job stability. When it comes to desirable companies, Bank of China has been named the top choice by business students for seven consecutive years, and the gigantic state-owned firm shows no signs of giving up its lead.William Wu, the China country manager for Universum, said that banking remains an attractive industry for young Chinese. “China’s government is now emphasizing the revolution of the finance industry, which leaves the younger generation with the impression that although banking is a traditional industry, there are still a lot of development opportunities.” Wu said.E-commerce giant Alibaba (BABA, Tech30) improved six places from 2014, ranking second among business students. Alibaba’s rise shouldn’t come as much of a surprise—the company held a record-breaking $25 billion IPO in September.Among engineering students, Alibaba was once again a bridesmaid. Instead, Huawei—a telecoms infrastructure firm that now makes consumer products-took the top spot.“Both of these companies are pioneers in terms of local companies going international.” said Wu. “It shows that… an international development strategy has a positive influence among Chinese young talents.” Tech companies ruled the rankings for humanities students, with Alibaba—which was ninth in 2014一landing at the top. Last year, Apple was the Number l choice of Chinese students.28．What’s the percentage of the surveyed students who want to join a company set up recently？A．Five percent. B．Twenty-five percent.C．Nine percent. D．Twenty percent.29．What is the second most important career goal for the students？A．Work-life balance. B．Job stability.C．Alibaba. D．Their own business.30．In William Wu’s viewpoint, a native company that _______ will attract graduates.A．is rooted only in ChinaB．makes consumer productsC．goes internationalD．just aims at the foreign market31．What does the passage want to tell us mainly？A．What companies students want to work for.B．Why students have to go to university.C．How a company can develop well.D．Where students’ success lies in.DNew research has shown that you might not just be feeling blue, you may also be seeing it differently. A blue mood may be more than just a figure of speech. Your mood may also affect how you see the world around you, according to a new study. A team of researchers has demonstrated that sadness could have an effect on the way we see colors.The team, led by psychology researcher Christopher Thorstenson of the University of Rochester, found that people in whom they had induced a sad mood were less accurate in identifying colors on the blue-yellow axis(轴线), compared to people who weren’t feeling sad.“We were already deeply familiar with how often people use color terms to describe common phenomena, like mood. even when these concepts seem unrelated,” Thorstenson said in a statement. “We thought that maybe a reason these metaphors emerge was because there really was a connection between mood and identifying colors in a different way.”Thorstenson and his team are not the first to identify a link between a depressed mood and a difference in recognition. In 2010, Emanuel Bubl and his team at Albert Ludwigs University Freiburg in Germany first demonstrated a link between decreased contrast sensitivity and depression. This was supported by a 2013 paper by Johnson Faro et al of the University of Singapore.The team conducted two studies．In the first, 127 participants were chosen randomly to watch one of two video clips, which had been proved in previous studies to feel either sadness (a cartoon clip) or amusement (a stand-up comedy routine). They didn’t do that in a specific order.The entire group was then tasked with identifying the colors in 48 continued color swatches. The group that had been shown the cartoon clip was measurably worse at identifying colors along theblue-yellow axis, although no difference was found along the red-green axis.For the second study, 130 participants were randomly assigned to watch either a sad clip or a neutral one. The sadness group showed reduced ability to identify colors along the blue-yellow axis than the neutral group. Again, there was no difference along the red-green axis.Because of this lack of difference along the red-green axis, the researchers say the difference in ability cannot be explained by lack of effort, or focus. If the subjects were badly focused, they would have performed equally badly along both color axes. 32．If one ________, the colors he sees might be different from those in others’ eyes.A．is in a good mood B．has an eye illnessC．attends a speech D．doesn’t feel happy33．Who were the first to find out the link between mood and identifying colours？A．Emanuel and his team. B．Thorstenson and his team. C．Johnson and his team. D．Thorstenson and Johnson. 34．The sadness group in the second study _______.A．felt happy when watching the videoB．performed better than the otherC．were less able to identify some coloursD．could only identify blue and yellow35．What does the underlined word “randomly” in the fifth paragraph mean most probably？A．In no specific place.B．With no specific rule.C．In no specific confidence.D．At no specific time.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened. It’s never happened before, and he knows that when the boys find out they will never let him forget it. When the girls find out, they’ll never speak to him again as long as he lives.The boy believes his heart is going to stop. He puts his head down and prays: “This is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes from now I’m dead meat.”He looks up from his prayer, and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water. Susie trips in front of the teacher and spills the bowl of water in the boy’s lap.The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while is saying to himself. “Thank God!”Now all of a sudden, instead of being made fun of, the boy gets sympathy. The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants dry out. All theother children are on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy is wonderful. But the ridicule that should have been his is given to someone else—Susie. She tries to help, but they tell her to get out. “You’ve done enough!”Finally, at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers: “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?” Susie whispers back: “I wet my pants once too.”24．What is the boy’s reaction to this incident at first?A．He is calm but worried.B．He thinks he is going to die.C．He is afraid and embarrassed.D．He prays and asks for help from his teacher.25．The underlined word “sympathy” probably means _______.A．care B．cheatingC．belief D．contribution26．After Susie spills the bowl of water in the boy’s lap, _______.A．other students ask Susie for help and yell at herB．the teacher sends the boy downstairs to clean up around his deskC．the little boy becomes really angry and runs away to change his clothesD．the little boy is saved from embarrassment and gains others’ sympathy27．From the story, we can conclude that _______.A．all the children feel wonderful about being able to helpB．the teacher does not know what actually happened to the little boyC．Susie spends a long time coming up with a plan to help the little boyD．Susie is kindhearted and still tries to help even though she is ridiculedCHe is probably the greatest artist of the 20th century. As CBS said, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) “defined modern art”.In the past, artists had made paintings look like windows – they painted to make it look like there was depth. You could tell which objects were “close” to you and which objects were “far away”, as if the picture were a window you were looking through.But Picasso and his colleague Georges Braque (1882-1963) thought that a painting wasn’t a window on the world; it was marks and lines on a flat surface. Why should an object be shown only from one perspective?Their answer was to break up objects into pieces and show all the perspectives.It was an analytical approach to art, which gave this style of painting its name: “analytic cubism(解析立体主义)”. You can take a closer look at these paintings in Shanghai where nearly 100 pieces of Picasso’s work are on display until Jan 31, 2016.But why did they feel such a need to change things? Well, the world around them was changing. Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity was proving what humans knew about time and space to be wrong. And it wasn’t only science that was making waves. New political movements like socialism were on the rise. So artists needed to start seeing the world and painting it differently.A famous and terrifying painting, Guernica(1937) is a picture of the horror caused to the town of Guernica by bombs during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). In the picture, the sky actually falls in. Picasso could not have painted it without the skills he had learned during his cubist period. They had prepared him for showing the town being destroyed.“Instead of showing objects from one viewpoint, Picasso showed them from many different angles,” said The Huffington Post.28．What is the article mainly about?A．Why Picasso’s paintings have a lasting appeal.B．What inspired Picasso to become a great artist.C．Picasso’s great, revolutionary achievements in art.D．The background of the birth of Picasso’s analytic cubism.29．What do we know about the painting revolution started by Picasso and Georges Braque? A．They painted like there was depth in their paintings.B．They painted objects that they had broken into pieces.C．They tried to make their paintings look like windows.D．They showed the different angles of an object in their paintings.30．Picasso and Georges Braque started analytic cubism because _______.A．they believed art needed to change to follow the changing worldB．they wanted to apply Einstein’s theory of relativity to paintingC．Picasso wanted to make waves just like Einstein didD．new political movements had forced art to change31．The painting Guernica is mentioned in the 7th paragraph to show _______.A．the main themes of Picasso’s paintingsB．the philosophy behind Picasso’s paintingsC．what Picasso had learned during the cubist periodD．that Picasso’s analytical approach made it a masterpieceDHeads turned, tears dropped, and gossip-filled whispers went on and on from the hospital passages to the house windows. There was a problem: a daughter had been born. She wasn’t the first disappointment born to her family. Although my aunt didn’t care about giving birth to a girl, her mother-in-law constantly reminded her of the criticism she would have to face if she gave birth to a daughter. In India, most people held these views.When I visited my relatives during the summer, one sentence managed to fill me with anger and start arguments with my so-called relatives. “You are a girl, stay within your limits.” They simply don’t know how different it is living in the US. Anyway, comparisons to my cousins led me to end the arguments for the moment and accept the way they lived their lives.My words didn’t make sense to them so my mind was set on proving them wrong.Although their words didn’t tear me apart, their actions managed to. The amount of sexism(性别歧视) in this culture, especially my hometown, made me feel bad. It was the 21st century, yet women had to eat after the men at family gatherings. They had to cook all the family meals and were asked to take jobs that required little skill or education. It was time to change these views.As I was growing older, the same relatives repeatedly questioned me about my future: “What do you want to be?” And the answer was always the same：electrical engineer. I have a passion for electronics; as clichéd(陈词滥调的) as it sounds, I was born to do it. When I connect wires together to repair something, I can’t contain my excitement. But when I tried to explain this to my relatives, all of them, except for my parents and grandparents, would be shocked and laugh at me — laugh because they didn’t think I could live up to my goals, being a “girl and all”. It was time to change these views.In my world, being a girl is not a problem. Rather, it is an opportunity to allow passion, not stereotypes(成见), to shape my future. I decided to channel my relatives’ views into positive energy. Rather than letting them bring me down, I let them be motivation to achieve my goal of becoming an engineer. I, a female, will become a successful engineer. 32．The first paragraph was mainly written to _______.A．describe how bad the author’s aunt felt for having a baby girlB．show that most Indian people are strongly prejudiced against womenC．describe the pressure the author’s aunt had to face when she was going to have a baby D．show that the author’s aunt’s generation is fighting against prejudice against women 33．From the second and third paragraphs, it can be concluded that _______.A．the author’s friends and relatives were jealous about her life in the USB．the author realized that just using words couldn’t change the relatives’ sexism C．the author got used to being reminded to stay within her limits after she was born D．the author often argued with her relatives because she believed US lifestyles were right34．In the article, in what way does the author show how serious the amount of sexism was in her hometown?A．By describing feeling defeated after arguments.B．By stressing the conflicts she had with her relatives.C．By describing people’s words, behavior and common practices.D．By giving examples of how her goals were laughed at repeatedly.35．According to the text, the author decided to change her relatives’ views by _______. A．achieving her dream of becoming an engineerB．using her relatives’ comments as motivationC．letting stereotypes influence her future decisionsD．achieving her ambition of changing her hometown第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Can you fall fast asleep at night? If not, you can try to drink a glass of hot milk. 36 Still no luck? Try thinking about sheep jumping over a fence. Count them to yourself, “One, two, three, four…one hundred and ninety-five, one hundred and ninety-six…”37 Should you take a sleeping pill? People who take pills often come to depend on the drugs. So you lie awake knowing that the new work day will soon arrive. If this happens to you forat least one month, you may have primary insomnia(失眠). There are millions of you…us…around the world.A new study has found that you might fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer if you try “cerebral hypothermia”. No, cerebral hypothermia is not a complex medical process. 38Two American professors led the study. They examined 12 people who had insomnia and 12 others who had no sleep problems. Each of them wore a soft plastic cap on their heads at bed time.39 The researchers moved the water through the tubes and then changed the temperature of the water. Other studies showed that people who had trouble sleeping often had more chemical reactions in the front of their brains. The researchers thought lowering the temperature of the brain might help.The first two nights of testing, the patients wore no water caps. During the next two nights, the caps were worn, but the water was not cooled. Then the researchers cooled the water a little for two nights. 40The researchers found that the water caps did not help the insomnia patients until the temperature was about 14℃. Most of the patients fell asleep faster and slept better when the coolest water was moving around their heads.A．Some say sheep counting might help.B．It just means cooling down your brain.C．It is late at night and you are still awake.D．The caps had tubes inside filled with water.E．If that does not work, listen to some soft, beautiful music.F．They believe they have discovered something important that needs more research. G．On the final two nights of the study, the temperature of the water was made much cooler.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

湖北省黄冈中学2015年春季高二年级期末考试第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AIt’s not often a tomato that is described as so sweet “whenever people see it they just want to hug”-but this was no ordinary piece of fruit.The heart-shaped tomato was grown by the retired worker, Rod Matless, who said he was surprised when he noticed it in his field. Mr. Matless, 69, who had a heart attack a few years ago, was so taken aback by the fruit that he decided to sell it and donate the money to the British Heart Foundation. The 64 g tomato was bought for$16 on eBay by woman from Wales - who said she planned to give it to someone special.Mr. Matless, of Wymondham, near Norwich, said：“I spent a couple of days thinking about what to do with it and I wasn’t really sure, but this seems like a good use. I hope it will do someone somewhere a bit of good.” He added：“It’s very sweet - whenever people see it they just want to hug it.” But with the tomato’s freshness a key factor, Mr. Matless was up against the clock to send it to its new owner before it went bad. He said：“I didn’t want to send someone something horrible. I probably could have raised a bit more money with more time but I was worried about it.”“It will certainly make a nice present for a loved one. I hope that they like it and I’m glad I got to help. It’s all been very good fun and I’ve really enjoyed growing this very special tomato.”21．We can learn from the text that the tomato grown by Rod Matless ______.A．is very big B．is very toughC．is very special D．is good for health22．The underlined part “taken aback by” in Paragraph 2 means ______.A．satisfied with B．nervous aboutC．surprised by D．frightened by23．According to the text, the main problem for Rod Matless was ______.A．how to advertise the tomatoB．how to keep the tomato freshC．how to get a good price for the tomatoD．how to find a good owner for the tomatoBDolphins(海豚) live in a dark underwater world. It’s often impossible to see each other or anything else around them, so sound plays an important role in their survival. To communicate with each other, dolphins produce all kinds of sounds.Only other dolphins understand what the sounds mean. Scientists haven’t uncovered their secret communication, except for one kind of whistle. It might last less than a second, but this whistle is a big deal. Why? Because these whistles are actually names of dolphins - and every dolphin has one. Scientists call these sounds a “signature whistle.” When other dolphins hear the whistle, they know which dolphin is calling.Dolphins often hunt by themselves but still need to stay connected to the group. Since they can’t always see each other, dolphins use their signature whistles to check in with other dolphins hundreds of yards away. “In coastal areas, dolphins exchange whistles even when they’re a third of a mile apart,” says Greg Campbell, who studies anima ls. That means dolphins shout out to group members that might be nearly five football fields away.What’s amazing is who names the baby dolphin. Not the mother. Not an auntie dolphin or another group member. Scientists believe the baby dolphin itself comes up with the signature whistle. Like human babies, a baby dolphin plays with sounds throughout its first year. While testing its sound skills, a baby dolphin is doing something amazing. It’s creating or figuring out its signature whistle. How or why it chooses its signature whistle is not clear. Studies show that most of the time the signature whistle is nothing like its mother’s or group members’ whistles.When the baby dolphin is about a year old, its signature whistle is set. It repeats it of ten so the other dolphins learn to recognize it.Deciphering(破译) dolphin names is just the beginning of figuring out what dolphins communicate about. Do they chat about sharks? Discuss the tides? Maybe they even have a name for people. Someday scientists to decipher the rest of dolphins’ communication.24．Sound is important for dolphins because of ______.A．their poor sense of directionB．their living environmentC．their strong enemiesD．their big groups25．The dolphin’s signature whistle ______.A．lasts along timeB．can travel long distancesC．is especially helpful in huntingD．can be recognized by other animals26．The author writes the text mainly to ______.A．encourage readers to study dolphinsB．tell reader s how dolphins communicateC．show how lovely and clever dolphins areD．introduce a special sound made by dolphins27．A baby dolphin gets its name ______.A．soon after it was born B．according to its sizeC．all by itself D．with the help of its groupCJeri Solomon is a morning person but Jim, her husband of 11 years, is not. Early in their life, it caused a problem. “When we were planning our wedding, I wanted to have these big discussions at 8 a. m.，when I had been up for two hours and was fresh, but Jim would just be getting out of bed,” says the 46-year-old designer from Melrose, Mass. “We ended up getting into many arguments because I thought he had no interest, when really he was just still half-asleep.”The couple learned to work around their differences over the years, but their situation isn’t uncommon, says Katherine Sharkey, professor at BrownUniversity. “More women tend to be larks, while men are like night owls(猫头鹰),” she says.The question is：Why? The answer lies in each person’s body clock. “The body clock is about 24 hours, thanks to Ea rth’s 24-hour light-dark cycle,” Sharkey says. “But some people have a longer natural cycle, and some are shorter.” If yours is on the long side, you’re more likely to be a night owl. If it runs short, you’re probably an early riser. But your body clock ca n change over your lifetime. There’s a developmental piece-school-age children are generally early birds, while teenagers tend to be night owls, and then as they age, adults gradually turn back into morning people,” Sharkey says.Besides the clear problems with being a night owl if you have fl day job, “night owls tend to be more low-spirited, and have a higher dependence on coffee,” Sharkey says. But the news isn’t all bad. A recent study in Belgium found that night owls can stay more focused as the day goes on, compared with early risers.Morning people, however, also have advantages. “Larks generally sleep better, have more regular sleep, and have more flexible characters,” Sharkey says. They also tend to be happier and feel healthier than night owls, according to a recent study from the University of Toronto. 28．Jeri Solomon and her husband ______.A．tried to change each other’s sleeping habitsB．often argued about small thingsC．could not understand each otherD．got up at different times29．The underline d word “larks” in Paragraph 2 refers to birds which ______.A．are sleepy at noonB．stay awake all nightC．search for food at nightD．are active in the morning30．Compared with morning people, night owls ______.A．work more flexiblyB．feel happy more easilyC．sleep more soundly at nightD．get more and more focused during the day31．What is the purpose of the text?A．To explain why we get up early or late.B．To advise every one of us to get up early.C．To tell us how to change our body clock.D．To point out m orning people’s advantages.DI had five hours in the company of First Great Western(FGW) last weekend, on a train full of passengers, all the way from Cornwall to London. I got to know some of my fellow passengers rather well. Not through talking to them, you understand.There was the youth who was explaining to his friend exactly how he enjoyed a party with his friends last night. Opposite him was a young woman who was very excited to be going to Lanzarote for her summer holiday. And then there was the man who I took to be a car mechanic(汽车修理工); so detailed and technical was his conversation about a second-hand Audi.Everyone had a different, noisy ringtone, and none of the mobile phone conversations I was forced to hear was interesting.By the end of the journey, I was silently complaining about the modern world, and feeling mad with FGW who, at the very moment when our carriage fell silent, would make an announcement about the buffet car (a carriage where food and drinks are sold) either opening or closing.FGW seems to be campaigning against peace and quietness, having removed quiet carriage spaces where passengers were requested not to use mobiles so that their trains could carry more passengers. How so? I cannot understand why FGW takes no notice of passengers like me, who have suffered a lot from hearing endless telephone conversations. I have no interest in the smallest details of others’ lives. Making people listen to boring mobile phone conversations should be regarded as a rude act.”Every train ca rriage should, in theory, be quiet. Why can’t that be the standard? It is possible to change public custom and practice. It was not so long ago that sidewalks were littered with dog waste：now it’s a general rule that dog owners clean it up after their pets. And once we restore peace and quietness to trains, we can then move on and stop people bringing fast food onto them, too.32．How did the author get to know the three passengers?A．From their phone conversations.B．Through introductions.C．In informal conversations.D．By using a mobile phone.33．At the end of the journey, the author ______.A．became satisfied with FGW’s serviceB．felt uneasy about the silenceC．was filled with angerD．went to the buffet car34．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?A．He is in support of the decision of FGW.B．He believes FGW will have more passengers.C．He dislikes hearing others’ phone conversations.D．He thinks it’s rude to listen to others’ conversations.35．The author mentioned the rule of cleaning up dog mess to show ____.A．dog mess has become a serious problemB．quiet carriages can become the standardC．noise in carriages is as troubling as dog messD．changing public custom and practice is difficult第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）How to Get Happy36 Figure out how to change the way you view your lire and you can achieve happiness.Gretchen Rubin, the creator of the Happiness Project website spent a year testing “every principle, tip, and theory” she could find to help people cheer up, especially given the trying times. “When people feel like they’re worse off than they were last year, it’s a happiness challenge,” Rubin note. Her advice? 37Here she happily shared other pointers.What are the things that give a happiness boost?Sleep, Sounds boring, but a 2014 study showed tiredness is one of the top two reasons people are in a bad mood at work. Another way to boost happiness is to join or start a group. Philosophers agree that social bonds are the key to happiness. But it’s hard to connect deeply with people at a party; a purpose and an agenda really help. 38 One principle of happiness is that you should always act the way you wish you felt. If you act generously, you’ll feel more secure.You don’t have to do an extraordinary thing like climbing Mount Kilimanjaro?No. If you love scrapbooking, maybe you should learn Photoshop; if you like cycling, maybe bike repair. 39 And it should reflect your nature. You can be happier without completely changing your life.40A lot of the things I talk about are things that don’t actually take much time, but you hav e to stick with them-like writing a journal or taking a 20-minute walk every day. People always ask, “Is it hard or is it easy to do fl happiness project?” And I say, “It’s hard in that you have to do it.”第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
