I always felt sorry for the people in wheelchairs.Some people, old and weak, cannot get around by themselves.Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits.But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person.
Then I fainted(晕倒) at Euro Disney due to low blood pressure.This was the first time I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest for a while after First Aid.I agreed to take it easy but, as I stepped towards the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction.Feeling the color burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it.
I could not believe this was happening to me.Wheelchairs were fine for other people but not for me, as my father wheeled me out into the main street，people immediately began to treat me differently.
Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to stop the wheelchair suddenly.Bitte rness set in as I was thrown back and forth.“Stup id kids...they have perfectly good legs.Why can’t they watch where they are going？〞I thought.People
stared down at me, with pity in their eyes.Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me the better.
“I’m just like you！〞I wanted to scream.“The only difference is that you’ve got legs and I have wheels.〞
People in wheelchairs are not stupid.They see every look and hear each word.Looking out at the faces, I finally understood：I was once just like them.I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated.I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.

Mary Krupa became friends with the grey squirrels during her first week at Penn State, after spotting them running around and idly(漫不经心地) wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads.Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl〞．
Mary started bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her.She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture.Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook.The response was greatly positive, and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet sensation．
Growing up in a neighborhood outside of State College, Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn’t interact(交流) with people very much.She w as later diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, but the squirrels changed that.“The squirrels help me break the ice, because I’ll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and we’ll just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them，〞she said.“I am a lot more outgoing.〞And in case you’re wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food.For example, whenever she wants
them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop(道具), and they’ll grab it.But getting to that part took a while.In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her.She had the patience to earn their trust, though.
This year, Mary is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences.She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment.As for her furry friends, Mary plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.

Why do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations：keeping a moderate diet，engaging in regular exercise，etc.But what effect does your personality have on your longevity(长寿)？Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the JournaloftheAmericanGeriatricsSociety looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.
The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic(神经质的) than ot her people.Long­living women are also more likely to be sympathetic(同情的) and cooperative than women with a normal life span.These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory：those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.
Interestingly，however，other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer.Those who were more self­disciplined，for instance，were no more likely to live to be very old.Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life，whi ch might explain all those bad­tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.
Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate.But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.
Unfortunately，another recent study shows that your mother’s personality may also help determine your longevity.That study looked at nearly 28，000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets.Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we’re adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.
Personality isn’t destiny(命运)，and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change.But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.
【解题导语】研究明确长寿不仅仅是身体健康问题，也是心理健康问题。

而且，母亲的性格也决定孩子是否能够长寿。

32．The aim of the study in the JournaloftheAmericanGeriatricsSociety is __________．
A．to see whether people’s personality affects their life span
B．to find out if one’s lifestyle has any effect on their health
C．to investigate the role of exercise in living a long life
D．to examine all the factors contributing to longevity
A解析：细节理解题。

根据文章第一段可知，针对“性格对一个人的寿命有什么影响，某些类型的性格会让人更长寿吗〞这一问题，《美国老年病学会杂志》进展了一项新研究。

由此可知，进展该项研究的目的是探讨人的性格是否影响人的寿命。

应当选A。

33．What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people?
A．They have a good understanding of evolution.
B．They are better at negotiating an agreement.
C．They generally appear more resourceful.
D．They are more likely to get over hardship.
D解析：细节理解题。

根据文章第二段可知，外向、富有同情心的人会能更好地度过困难时期，也更长寿。

应当选D。

34．What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers show?
A．Children’s personality characteristics are invariably(总是) determined by their mothers.
B．People with unhealthy eating habits are likely to die sooner.
C．Mothers’ influence on children may last longer than fathers’．
D．Mothers’ negative personality characteristics may affect their children’s life spans.
D解析：细节理解题。

根据文章倒数第二段可知，不幸的是，最近的另一项研究明确，母亲的性格也决定孩子是否能够长寿。

那些焦虑、沮丧和愤怒的母亲更有可能给孩子喂不健康的饮食。

而且成年后孩子们的饮食模式很难被打破，这可能意味着那些母亲抑郁的孩子们可能不会长寿。

应当选D。

35．What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies?
A．Anxiety and depression more of ten than not cut short one’s life span.
B．Longevity results from a combination of mental and physical health.
C．Personality plays a decisive role in how healthy one is.
D．Health is in large part related to one’s lifestyle.
B解析：细节理解题。

根据文章最后一段可知，长寿不仅仅是身体健康问题，也是心理健康问题。

应当选B。

Making Peace with Your Parents
As a teen, you’re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding. 36. ________
Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm h ouses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.
For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation—for now. 37. ________ Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening.
38. ________
Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each other’s feelings can disagree without things getting ugly.
39. ________ How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule­makers—they’re interesting people who like to watch movies and go shopping—just like their teenagers!
What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky?40. ________ You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.
Remember you can only change your own behavior. Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.
A．It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you’r e not on the same page.
B．You can pick it up again when everyone’s more relaxed.
C．And then you’ll be able to accept what your parents say.
D．Faced with the challenge, children don’t know what to do.
E．You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.
F．And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.
G．You may consider seeking outside help.
【解题导语】本文主要介绍了青春期的少年应如何与父母和平共处。

A项“It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you’re not
on the same page.〞与其为顺承关系，应当选A项。

39．E解析：下文讲述少年如何与父母之间建立信任，E项是介绍这方面内容的，应当选E项。

40．G解析：上文“...but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky？〞说少年与父母之间关系紧张，下文介绍可以求助教师或教练。
