Dolores Huerta has worked hard most of her life to help other people. She has helped change things so that others can have a better life.
Dolores grew up in California. She was a good student and liked school. After she finished high school, she went to college and studied to be a teacher. After college, she became a teacher. Dolores noticed that many of her students were not getting enough food to eat. Some of them wore very old clothes. Dolores wondered how she could help them.
Dolores liked teaching but she decided to quit her job so that she could spend more time helping her students and their families. One thing she wanted to do was to get more pay for their parents, farm workers. Thus they could buy their children what they needed.
Dolores knew that many farm workers moved often from one place to another to help pick different kinds of fruits and vegetables, like grapes and tomatoes. She began talking and writing about these workers. Even people who lived far from California read what Dolores wrote. Getting higher pay for the farm workers was not easy. Dolores worked hard to make sure that farm workers got fair pay for their work. She knew that nothing would change unless new laws were made to help the workers. Through all her hard work, new laws were passed that gave farm workers fair pay.
Dolores Huerta has worked for more than 30 years in many different ways to make life better for working people. She has shown how much one person can change things.
4. What did Dolores find about her students?
A. They worked hard to make a living.
B. They lived far away from schools.
C. They had little time to play.
D. They were hungry sometimes.
5. Why did Dolores stop teaching?
A. She wished to be a lawyer.
B. She moved to another place.
C. She wanted to help her students more.
D. She got little money by teaching.
6. Thanks to Dolores’ great effort, the farm workers ________.

B. got fair pay
C. had more time off
D. had a settled way of life

I’ve long believedthat positive living isn’t about being optimistic every minute of every day. That kind of permanently happy state can’t be the goal, because it’s impossible to achieve.
It turns out that psychological research finds true happiness comes from authentic positivity, and authentic positivity comes from emotional flexibility.
Being flexible emotionally means being open to the full range of emotional experiences, including the challenging ones like anger, disappointment and sadness. Emotional flexibility means being able to shift behaviors and mindsets to meet different situational needs, and adapting when circumstances change.
However, emotionally flexible people are not chameleons (变色龙) whose outlook changes based on which way the wind is blowing. Instead, emotional flexibility is a skill that helps people judge the complexities of daily life, and stick to their deeply held values.
I’ve learned a new word that I’d like to share with you: Eudaimonia (幸福感). Eudaimonia is the opposite of hedonism (享乐主义), the idea that happiness comes from the constant pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain. Eudaimonia, by contrast, encourages us to pursue meaning and authenticity, growth and honest joy. Both are philosophical approaches to happiness, and recent psychological thought is leaning toward eudaimonia as a more sustainable, satisfying model.
Eudaimonia was first mentioned by Aristotle, who got the term from the Greek word “daimon,” which means “true nature.” Tome, walking a positive path means accepting that we each have positive true nature and permanent goodness. What we learn from the concept of eudaimonia is that we are best equipped to realize this nature when we are emotionally honest and flexible.
8. What is the author’s belief?
A. People should live alone.
B. People can’t always be happy.
C. People can’t always achieve their goals.
D. People should pursue true achievements.
9. What do enmotionally flexible people commit themselves to?
A. Their strongly believed values.
B. Their different needs.
C. Permanent happiness.
D. The pursuit of hedonism.
10. How can people gain eudaimonia according to the author?
A. By being honest to others.
B. By changing true nature.
C. By keeping realstically optimistic.
D. By pursuing pleasure constantly.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. What is the meaning of eudaimonia?
B. What should we do to keep positive?
C. How can we keep happy forever?
D. Why can’t people be happy all the time?
D
If there is no difference in general intelligence between boys and girls, what can explain girls’ poor performance in science and math?
It hasbeen suggested that girls do not take math courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine (女性的) and attractive (有魅力的).
However, there are still more high-achieving boys than girls when taking math exams. This difference appears to be worldwide. Biological explanations have been offered for this, but there are other explanations too.
Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences. From their first days in kindergarten, boys are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who gave answers.
Besides, there can be little doubt that teachers of math and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students. They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls. They spend more time with the boy students, giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them. They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion. They also praise boys more frequently. All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and math and to give them confidence that they are able to succeed.
Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many math and science courses, nor is it likely to support girls who do. When it comes to these subjects it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls.
12. Why does the author raise a question in paragraph 1?
A. To find differences between boys and girls.
B. To explain the poor performance of girls.
C. To ask readers a question.
D. To introduce the topic.
13. The text mainly discusses ________ reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific achievements.
A. biological
B. personal
C. social
D. historical
14. What does the text say about great mathematicians?
A. Their teachers did not offer answers to them.
B. They started learning math at an earlier age.
C. They showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years.
D. Their success resulted from their strong interest in math.
15. The author would probably agree that ________.
A. boys and girls learn in the same way
B. boys and girls are equal in general intelligence
C. girls are more confident in themselves than before
D. girls should take fewer science courses than boys

Stage Fright
Imagine that you are an actor performing in a play for the first time. You have learned all your lines and you know where to walk on stage. Waiting behind the closed curtain, you can hear the audience whispering and taking their seats.

Second, before the performance, take deep breaths and stretch to help relax your body. Third, stay away from drinks that contain caffeine._____20_____Instead, try a banana! Some doctors believe that eating a banana can help calm your heart and the rest of your body. Finally, when you look into a crowd, try to focus on particular people instead of the whole group.
