AThe first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896.There were nine sports: cycling,tennis,gymnastics,swimming,track and field,weightlifting,rowing,wrestling and shooting.Sailing was also to have taken place,but had to be cancelled because of bad weather atsea.In the first Olympics there were no real team sports.Then,slowly,a few team sports joined the program.Football and hockey were the first team sports introduced into the Olympics in London in 1908.Then in 1936,at the Berlin Olympics,the Germans brought in handball and theAmericans had basketball accepted as an Olympic sport.It often happens that the country that introduces a new sport into theOlympics then goes onto win the gold medals.In 1904,at the Olympics in St.Louis,the Americans introduced boxing and won all seven events.Five horse riding events were introduced into the 1912 Stockholm(斯德哥尔摩) Olympics,and Swedish riders won four of them.And in 1964,at the Tokyo Olympics,two sports which are very popular in Japan were introduced:judo and volleyball.The Japanese won all three gold medals in the judo,and also won the first women’s volleyball competition.Some new sports have recently been added to the Olympics.In Los Angeles,in 1984,baseball was introduced and became an Olympics sport.InSeoul(汉城),Korea in 1988,table tennis was introduced for the first time,and tennis returned as an Olympics sport.Unlike tennis,some sports,such as golf and rugby(橄榄球),have been tried in the Olympics but have never returned.1.Football was first introduced into theOlympics in .

There are around53,000 computer viruses in existence, with a new one detected every 18 seconds.A computer virus can do everything, from popping up a short message to wiping key files, so that your computerdoesn’t work. The “I LOVE YOU” virus infected up to 45 million computers, causing £7 billionworth of damage worldwide.How to avoid catching a virus?Stay calm.

Read the e-mail and check that the contents of the message make sense before you openany attachment. Don’t forward any attachment to a friend without being sure it is safe.Look out for hoaxes. There are many e-mails warnin g of “the most destructive virus ever”, but often these viruses don’t exist. Don’t sendan e-mail about a “new vir us” without checking it out. Visit sites like to check for hoaxes.Send any e-mail that you think is infected to an anti-virus company. They can tell you whether it is a virus to anyone except the official virus companies. Mail filtering system will probably delete it anyway.If you get a computer virus you’ll need to use a virus scanner to get rid of it. Don’t be careless just because you have a virus scanner.

This passage mainly tellsus .A. what is a computer virusB. what is the damage of a computer virusC. how to delete a computer virusD. how to avoid getting a computer virusCA Wolf in DangerWhat is happening to the timber wolf today?Native Americans and early settlers often went to sleep to the sound of a lonely lullaby(催眠曲). It was the song of the wolf howling in a distant forest. There were many wolves then. Onekind was the North American timberwolf.Wolves are important to the balance of nature because they eat sick and weak animals. In Colorado, people tried to help deer by shooting wolves. But then there were so many deer that many of them starved to death.The timber wolf is on the endangered special list. Animals on this list are in danger of disappearing from the earth. People drove the wolves away by cutting down the forests to build houses, towns, and highways. Timber wolves are now found only in Canada, Alaska, Michigan, and Minnesota.This special animal may soon disappear from our forests forever. Then, its lonely howl will never be heard again.8. Wolves help the balance of nature because they .A. are an endangered speciesB. no longer live in forestsC. eat sick and weak animalsD. help the farmers9. At one time, the timber wolf was found _.A. in many parts of AfricaB. only in Colorado and CanadaC. in towns and cities in AlaskaD. in many parts of North America10. Which of the following happenedfirst? A. People cut down theforests.B. The timber wolf was driven away fromits home. C. People built towns andhighways.D. Timber wolves are endangered species.11. When people in Colorado shot the wolves, they made a mistake because _.A. wolves never attacked other animalsB. the wolves kept down the number of deerC. the wolves were starving and would have died anywayD. they kept the balance of natureDJust like rice and Noodles are different from bread, snacks in China are a world apart from those in the UK and the US. For one thing, I never imaginedthat sunflower seeds(葵花籽) would be so popular here. I found people havingthem while waiting for tables outside restaurants, beforedinner and, of course, while watching TV. I also saw that a plate of sunflower seeds is always on tables during the Spring Festival holidays.I had seldom tried sunflower seeds when I came to China. In the UK, young people love their snacks. In fact, young people in Britain eat more snacks than people of the same age in other European countries. A recent Survey has discovered that 64% of under 20-year-olds snackbetween meals, according to an article on a British website. In comparison(对比), 58.7% of youngpeople snack in Germany, 53% in France, and only 40.7% in Spain.In Britain, we always looked forward to our favorite potato chips and chocolate bars after school. In U.S. One of things that I found the mostwonderful when I first visited the US was the number of snacks in their supermarkets; I was surprised to find huge shelves just for snacks were bigger than some stores in the UK. Snack tastes in the US are much the same as inthe UK.All in all, it’s probably best for your health if you like sunflower seeds rather than potatochips and chocolate. But eating these delicious snacks sometimes couldn’t be wrong, could it?12. What is the article mainlyabout? A. The most popularsnack in China. B. Snacks youngWestern people like. C. Snacksin the UK and the US.D. Some tips for choosing snacks in the UK.13. According to the British Council, snacks are most popular amongyoung people in _.A. GermanyB. BritainC. FranceD. Spain14. What surprised the author when he went to supermarketsin the US? A. The large number of snacks.B. The size of the snacks’ packages.C. The lack of choice when it came tosnacks. D. How the snacks tasted.15. What does the author think of potato chips andchocolate? A. They don’t taste as good assunflower seeds.B. They are unhealthy, so people should stop eating them.C. I t’s fine to enjoy them sometimes although they are unhealthy.D. I t’s better eat them with sandwiches and fruit.第二节(共5 小题,每题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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AThe Virgin Islands National Park is a tropical(热带的)paradise on the island of St. John,which covers more than half of the small island.It is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and the Caribbean Sea to the south,where the climate is warm all year.The island's white sand beaches and clear blue seas are considered to be among the most beautiful in the Caribbean,gaining reputation and popularity among visitors across the world.How the national park was formedLaurence Rockefeller was an American millionaire,businessman and conservationist.He visited St.John in the 1950s. He quickly fell in love with the island's clean,pure beauty.He first purchased a small resort there, Caneel Bay. He also purchased more than 2,000 hectares of the island and donated it to the government.That donation created the U.S.Virgin Islands National Park.It was officially opened as a national park on December 1,1956.How to get to the parkThe only way to reach the park is by boat.Some people arrive on their own sailboats.Others come in on large cruise ships.Visitors also arrive on water taxis from the island of St.Thomas.What to do at the parkFrom the tropical hills to the blue waters there are many things to do at the Virgin Islands National,Park.Visitors enjoy fishing,camping,sailing,scuba diving, snorkeling (浮潜),and bird watching.Of all of the park's beaches,Trunk Bay Beach is said to be the most striking.Below the clear blue water is a 200-meter snorkeling path. Hawksnest Beach is also a popular place for snorkeling.Near the shore are three small reefs of Elkhorn Coral.The Elkhorn Coral gets its name from its shape.The reef looks similar to the huge horns(角)of an animal called elk.It is a very rare kind of reef.Scientists say it is in danger of becoming extinct.The Virgin Islands National Park is often called America's paradise.It protects St. John's pristine nature,and preserves the record of human history in the Caribbean.Don't hesitate!

A geographic journal.BBoeing’s Starliner spacecraft landed in a New Mexico desert late on Friday,months after its original departure date and without the two astronauts it carried when it launched in early June.The Nasa astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore should have flown the Starliner back to Earth in June, a week after launching in it.But thruster (推进器) failures and helium (氦气) leaks marred their ride. Instead, they will remain at the International Space Station (ISS) for the rest of the year and will return in February aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.their empty seats and blue spacesuits along with some old station equipment.After Nasa’s space shuttles were retired more than a decade ago, Nasa hired Boeing and SpaceX for orbital (轨道的) taxi service. Boeing ran into so many problems on its first test flight with no one onboard in 2019 that it had to repeat it. The 2022 do-over uncovered even more flaws and the repair bill topped $1.5bn.The Starliner finally blasted into space on 5 June from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station after unsuccessful launches on 6 May and 1 June. On the first launch attempt,a problem was found with a valve (阀门) on the second stage,or upper portion, of the rocket. On the second,a computer tripped an automatic hold just three minutes and 50 seconds from liftoff. That was later attributed to a single ground power supply fault within one of the launch control computers.Even after it successfully launched,helium leaks continued to trouble the spacecraft. As the Starliner approached the ISS, two leaks were detected but Nasa determined the spacecraft remained stable. What started as an eight-day mission dragged on for three months after the leaks and faulty thrusters raised safety concerns.However, Nasa and Boeing officials insisted that the astronauts were not trapped and that the technical difficulties did not threaten the mission. “We’ll come home when we’re ready,” Steve Stich, Nasa’s commercial crew program manager, said in the press conference in July.4. What does the underlined word “marred” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Underwent.B. Stimulated.C. Facilitated.D. Blocked.5. What do we know about Boeing’s spacecraft launches?A. They were filled with delays and setbacks.B. Starliner’s initial launch went smoothly.C. The 2019 manned spaceflight was a failureD. Reasons of the problems were still unidentified.6. Why didn’t the two astronauts come back to Earth on time?A. Because the project went over the original budget.B. Because they were both in serious health conditions.C. Because it was dangerous to take the Starliner then.D. Because Nasa officials failed to reach an agreement.7. What can be implied according to the last two paragraphs?A. The two astronauts would come back soon.B. Officials considered the situation within control.C. Nasa officials were pessimistic and pressed.D. The mission would be completed in 3 months.CActor Alicia Silverstone worried fans on social media recently. While on a trip to England, she posted a TikTok video of herself tasting a kind of poisonous berries she found along a sidewalk. Silverstone, who appeared in the 1995 movie Clueless, said she thought the fruit was a tomato. But when she bit into it and found that it had an unusual taste, she realized that it was not the common food.Plant expert, Jessica Damiano, recently wrote about poisonous plants that look like common foods for the Associated Press. She said the fruit that looked like a tomato appears to have been a Jerusalem cherry.Often sold as a houseplant, all parts of the Jerusalem cherry are poisonous.The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says the plant is not only harmful to humans but also to dogs, cats and horses.Eating large amounts can be deadly. Silverstone was lucky because she did not swallow the berries. She was also lucky because the berries were reddish orange, which meant they were ripe. While all parts of the Jerusalem cherry are poisonous, the plant’s unripe berries can be especially dangerous.They can cause problems with the central nervous and gastrointestinal (肠胃的) systems.The Jerusalem cherry is not the only toxic plant that looks like a safe one.The poisonous Carolina horsenettle fruit also looks like a tomato. It is also known as devil’s potato to add to the confusion.The Virginia creeper fruit also looks like blueberries, and it can be deadly if eaten.Wild parsnip has flowers like a carrot and leaves like parsley (欧芹). Simply touching it can cause a skin problem. Creeping buttercup looks like flat-leaf parsley. It can cause severe stomach pain,vomiting (呕吐) and heart problems. And Canadian moonseed can be confused with wild grape. However, its taste is so bitter that you would likely spit it out before swallowing it. This is a good thing because eating it can lead to death.If you think you have swallowed a toxic plant by mistake, contact a poison control center in your area or your doctor immediately. There is additional information on the website .Damiano advises using common sense with plants you find in the wild. If you are not completely sure that something is food, do not eat it.8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To present the author’s argument.B. To introduce the topic of the article.C. To raise the public’s attention of wild plants.D. To popularize the knowledge of medical science.9. Why was Silverstone thought to be fortunate?A. The berries she had a bite were ripe.B. She found the fruit she ate was a tomato.C. She had a good knowledge of wild plants.D. The amount of the berries she consumed was large.10. According to the description,what plants can be most harmful to people?A. Carolina horsenettle and wild parsnip.B Virginia creeper and creeping buttercup..C. Wild parsnip and Canadian moonseed.D. Canadian moonseed and Virginia creeper.11. What may be the suitable measure if someone mistakenly swallows a poisonous plant?A. Spitting it out as quickly as possible.B. Making an appointment with their doctor.C. Getting in touch with the local authority instantly.D. Searching for the relevant information on the Internet.DSuperhuman artificial intelligence has played a role in our life. When it comes to playing games like chess, or solving difficult scientific challenges like predicting protein structures, computers are well ahead of humans. But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering:mind reading.We are blessed with a mysterious ability to reason the goals,desires and beliefs of others, a crucial skill that means we can anticipate other people’s actions and the consequences of our own.If AIs are to become truly useful in everyday life — to cooperate effectively with us or to understand that a child might run into the road after a bouncing ball — we have to give them this gift that evolution has given us to read other people's minds.In psychology, the ability to infer another’s mental state is referred to as theory of mind. In humans, this capacity develops at a very young age. How to reproduce the capability in machines is far from clear, though.One of the main challenges is context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it’s raining”, they can quickly conclude the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences.Besides, whether humans or AI, the theory of mind is supposed to emerge naturally from one’s own learning process. Building prior knowledge into AI makes it reliant on our imperfect understanding of theory of mind.In addition, AI may be capable of developing approaches we could never imagine. There can be many forms of theory of mind that we don’t know about simply because we live in a human body that has certain types of senses and a certain ability to think.But we might still want AI to have a more human-like form of theory of mind. Humans can clearly explain their goals to each other using common language and ideas. While letting AI form the theory of mind in their learning process is likely to lead to developing more powerful AI,plainly building in shared ways to represent knowledge may be crucial for humans to trust and communicate with AI.It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for AI and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines.Whether we will ever get there remains to be seen. But along the way thinking about other people and other agents, we are on the path to learning to think about ourselves.12. According to the passage,which of the following contexts can AI understand well?A. When asked where an object is, a naughty kid points in the wrong direction.B. When a teacher asks for a boy’s homework,he answers “my dog ate it” .C. When you are treated with a hotpot for dinner, you reply “a sore throat” .D. When a mom tells her kid milk is good for health, the kid drinks it up.13. Which statement will the author agree with most about theory of mind?A. Humans’ theory of mind is far from perfect.B. Humans limit AI’s theory of mind to an extent.C. AI’s theory of mind development has been totally decoded.D. Shared forms of theory of mind result in more powerful AI.14. What is the author’s attitude toward truly self-aware machines?A. AmbiguousB. Conservative.C. Skeptical.D. Approving.15. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. AI’s Theory of Mind Will Define Our FutureB. AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is ExpectedC. AI’s Theory of Mind — a Blessing or Suffering to HumansD. Theory of Mind Bridges the Gap Between Humans and AI第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)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。

Even before I opened my mouth, he was shaking his head.It was September 1957, and my family had just arrived in California. My father only got work two or three days a week. Our poor savings were gone, and as the eldest boy of the family, I was the only one able to help.“let me work the rest of the week, and if you don’t like the way I do the job, don’t pay me.”I said. The tall man stared at me, then nodded. At Mort’s, I worked very hard. Near the end of the day he called me up to him. “How much did that card at school say this job paid? "he asked. “One dollar an hour. " I whispered. Actually I was willing to take less.“That’s not enough for someone who works as hard as you, "Mort said. “You start at £ 1.25.”Over the next few weeks I learned a lot about Mort. Our store was closed on Sundays, so every Saturday evening Mort urged me to take home the leftover soup. It was a meal in itself, a treat for my struggling family.One Saturday after work. I was about to step in my house when I saw a large man in my father's chair. He was swearing at my father. I quietly walked into the kitchen and listened through the door. The man wanted to take our car. Dad offered to make the three payments that were due, but the man demanded the entire sum---£325---or the car. I slipped out of the door, thinking: Who might have £ 325? Who would even consider lending me so much money?The only person I could think of was Mort. I ran back to his deli and told him my tale. “So, could you possi bly lend my father £325?"I finished, realizing how absurd it sounded. Although Mort’s eye bored(挖) holes in my face, he gave me £ 325, saying,“I 'll take back half your wages until it's repaid.”That night I was a hero to my family, But the real hero was Mort Rubin, who quietly raised my salary every month afterwards. He made the world a better place.4. Why does the author talk about his family in Paragraph 2?A. To show his strong desire for a job.B. To reflect his poor living conditions.C. To stress the heavy burden on his father.D. To prove high living costs in California.5. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence?A. The meal was cheap but very deliciousB. The soup was fuel in snowy weather.C. The soup was more than the family could eat.D. The soup was a basic solution to the problem of the author’s family.6. Why did Mort give the author £ 325?A. Because the author wanted to buy a car.B. Because the three payments of the author’s family were due.C. Because he thought it absurd not to lend the author the money.D. Because the author wanted to pay off all the debts for his family.7. Which words can be used to describe Mort Rubin?A. Cold but flexible.B. Patient and hard-working.C. Kind and helpful.D. Strict and calculating.CResearch finds that children who play violent games or watch violent TV can become violent themselves, but what drives this change? Are the kids simply copy what they see on the screen, or could gaming have a more profound effect on their brains, affecting behavior?To explore that question, Dr. Vincent Matthews and his colleagues at Indiana University, who have long studied media violence, looked at what happened in the brains in 28 students who were randomly assigned to play either a violent, first-person shooter game or a non-violent one every day for a week. None of the participants had much previous gaming experience.At the start of the study, researchers used functional MRI to scan brain activity in the participants, all young adult men, while they completed lab-based tasks involving either emotional or non-emotional content. The participants were then scanned again while they repeated the same tasks after a week of playing the video games.Researchers found that those who played the violent video games showed less activity in areas that involved emotions, attention and inhibition(抑制) of our impulses(冲动). “Behavioral studies have shown an increase in aggressive behavior after violent video games, and what we show is the psychological explanation for what the behavioral studies are showing,”say Matthews. “We’re showing that there are changes in brain function that are likely related to that behavior.”It’s not clear how long-lasting the changes may be. When Matthews brought the participants back after a week of not playing video games, their brain activity had changed again, recovering to more normal reactions, but their brain functions still weren’t quite the same as before they were exposed to the violent games.8. What do we know about the participants?A. Both teenagers and adults were chosen.B. The participants had never played any computer games before.C. 28 participants were all young adult men.D. The participants were carefully divided into two groups.9. After playing a violent video game, a person is more likely to be ______.A. concentrativeB. impulsiveC. calmD. tired10. What does the underlined part “more profound”in Paragraph I most probably mean?A. Greater.B. Shorter.C. negativeD. positive.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. What Causes Children to Be ViolentB. How Matthews Carried Out His StudyC. Say “No” to Computer GamesD. How Playing Violent Video Games May Change the BrainDWhen a laptop or smart phone battery starts losing its power, the only options are to buy an expensive replacement, or just keep it plugged in all the time. But one woman may have found the answer to this problem.Mya Le Thai is a scientist studying at the University of California. She recently discovered a process that may lead to batteries that last forever.Thai said she had been frustrated that the batteries for her wireless devices degraded over time, until they failed to charge fully. Thai did not like having to keep her laptop connected to an electrical outlet(电源插座) to keep it powered on. So, she decided to do something about that problem. At first, she and her team at UC Irvine thought about inventing a new battery. But as they experimented, Thai discovered something that might permit lithium-ion(锂离子) batteries to last forever.Lithium-ion batteries power most wireless devices. Over time, the batteries lose the ability to hold a charge. Most of these batteries have a life span of about 7,000 charging cycles before they die. One of the reasons lithium-ion batteries degrade is their use of nanowires to carry electricity. Nanowires are extremely thin, A human hair is thousands of times thicker, for example. Nanowires are extremely efficient carriers of electricity, which makes them useful in batteries. But Thai said their thinness also makes them weak. "Nanowires break and fracture over time,” she said. “That's why they lose capacity.”But, Thai had a theory --- the nanowires might last longer if covered with a gel(凝胶). She and her team tested this theory.“ It was a long process and a lot of work, "Thai said. The team tried many coverings for the wires. PMMA, a type of plastic, was one of them. The nanowires were coated with PMMA and cycled through charges 200,000 times. The PMMA-coated nanowires showed no evidence of damage. The results suggest that batteries could last forever, without losing charging ability. Thai said 200,000 cycles amount to about three months on just one device. Thai hopes to continue her research to understand why this gel works so well and to see if any other gel could create better results.12. What caused Thai to work on lithium-ion batteries?A. She found that batteries can’t be powered fully.B. She disliked the batteries for her laptop.C. She thought batteries were too expensive.D. She and her team were assigned to invent a new battery.13. Which of the following sentences is TRUE about nanowires?A. They are too weak to carry electricity.B. They last only 7,000 charging cycles.C.They are the main cause of battery degrading.D. They are not suitable to use in batteries.14. The breakthrough may most probably lie in____________.A. a new kind of batteryB. new materials for batteriesC. coating nanowires in gelD. a new way of charging batteries15. What may be the best title for the passage?A. Why batteries are degradingB. Scientist invents life-long batteryC. Nanowires discovered by scientistD. Nanowires trying on new coating第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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。

London and Paris
It takes you about two hours to travel from London to Paris by Eurostar, a high-speed railway service. The two capital cities have been competing in fashion, art and nightlife for decades — but each secretly looks up to the other.
“The first domestic geese may have lived about 7,000 years ago in what is now China. That may make them the earliest bird to be domesticated, ” says Masaki Eda at the Hokkaido University Museum in Sapporo, Japan. Eda is part of a team that has unearthed an archaeological (考古的)site in Eastern China called Tianluoshan, which was a Stone Age village between about 7, 000 and 5, 500 years ago. “Its resident lived basically by killing wild animals and looking for plants that can be eaten, ”says Eda, “but they also grew rice. ”

It gives party goers chances to play musicB. It provides rooms for party goers to live inC. It provides party goers with hands-on experiencesD Its host city is located between the river and the seaBAll too often, when children are diagnosed with a disability or serious illness, their world is filled with appointments and disappointments. They might face lengthy hospital stays and painfultreatments, not to mention missed opportunities to be a kid.Madison Steiner-nicknamed “Peach” is making a difference in these children’s lives by giving them the gift of recognizing their individuality that shines through their health conditions.In 2011, she decided to put her caring on canvas (帆布)-but instead of turning to a traditional art medium, she started painting custom sneakers for children living with serious health conditions.As her giving gained strength, Steiner founded a nonprofit organization, Peach’s Neet Feet, based in her home state of New Mexico. Today, with the help of dozens of artists across th e US, Peach’s Neet Feet provides 50 pairs of shoes to children each month. Each pair is customized for a specific child’s interests and courageous fight. The organization coordinates(协调) donations with more than 20 hospitals and other nonprofit ones nationwide.Since 2011, Peach's Neet Feet has donated more than 3,000 pairs shoes and helped 4,000 families with other services, including care packages for children (with toys and art supplies),necessities for families facing lengthy hospital stay s “Peach Parties” and other events to raise funds and community awareness, and a support network for children and families In 2012. Steiner s work was honored as the winner of the Random Acts of Kindness Foundations Extreme Kindness Challenge, which gave Peach’s Neet F eet the opportunity to work with Storytellers for Good to produce a video about the shoes impact. Steiner was a guest speaker at the Chopra Foundation Sages and Scientists Symposium 2013, and Peach 's Neet Feet received the Sheckler Foundation 's “Be The C hange” award in May 2014. In September 2014, she spoke at the 5th annual TED&ABQ conference in Albuquerque, N.M.4. Which of the following words can best describe Peach according to the text?A .Creative and helpful. B. Confident and straightforwardC. Considerate and modest.D. Easy-going and productive.5. What is special about the shoes offered by Steiner?A. They can cure the kids of the cancer.B. They can be transformed into a toy.C. They are rare and valuable for collectorsD. They are made to suit special tastes and needs6. What does Peach 's Neet Feet provide for the people besides the art shoes?A. Help in the form of checkB. Medical care for patientsC .Company in hospital. D. A support network for sick kids7. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. Steiner 's ambitionB. Steiner s achievementsC. Steiner s passion to the charity. D.The activities held by“ Peach Parties”CAsk any of my stepchildren and they 'll agree: The quickest way to produce a long and angry shout is to complain, " It's not fair!"I can go on and on about how fairness has nothing to do with who gets the slightly larger cookie, and how important it is to be gratitude for all of the incredible privileges we have. And yet, I displayed right by those inspiring quotes about thankfulness posted by family and friends on Facebook. I’ve laughed at the concept of keeping a gratitude journal, a daily diary of things in my life to be thankful for, as seen on Oprah and in many studies about happiness. (Despite all the evidence to recommend it, keeping one just doesn’t feel like me.)But according to a recent study, people who practise gratitude are more joyful and optimisticand less lonely, I would love to experience all of those things, so why do I get all sick inside when I hear about practising gratitude? The biggest reason is that it sometimes feels slightly dishonest.Earlier this year, though, I decided it was time to give gratitude a real chance; I wanted to see firsthand if it would change my outlook. Then, a stream of terrible things happened-it felt like every night on the news there was another tragedy, and it felt like the whole world was going to ruin. Putting aside a few minutes a day to think about all the awesome things in my life felt both unimportant and disrespectful. But I sat down and tried it. While I wouldn 't go as far as a journal, I did try to spend a few minutes each day feeling thankful.And something clicked. Allowing myself small moments of gratitude didn’t feel as tired as I thought it would, it felt uplifting, even restorative. I realized that gratitude as a goal still makes mechange. Appreciating what we have can help us understand what other people are, both far away and closer to home.8. Why does the author mention the story of his stepchildren?A. To introduce the topic of the textB. To express they are specially naughtyC. To show how fair he is to themD. To present the benefits of practicing gratitude9. What was the author s attitude to practising gratitude in daily life in the beginning?A. Supportive,B. Disapproving.C. Ambiguous.D. Relaxed10. How did the author feel when actually practising gratitude earlier this year?A. Spiritless.B. Respectful.C. Amused.D. Proud11. What does the author mean by saying w And something clicked" in the last paragraph?A. The changes happened to him.B. The living conditions got worse.C. Small moments were valuableD. The help was timely and importantDThe effect on happiness of exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2), a gas mostly produced in diesel fumes(柴油机, is comparable to the effect from losing a job, ending a relationship or the death of a partner, research suggestsThe st udy found a “significant and negative association” between life satisfaction and levels of the pollutant, which causes lung problems. Sarah J Knight and Peter Howley of YorkUniversity took life satisfaction data from the British Household Panel Survey and UK Household Longitudinal Survey and compared it with detailed air quality records from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural AffairsGiven that far more people are exposed to NO, than suffer unemployment or end a relationship, Knight and Howley suggest that the benefits to society from reducing such emissions (排放)would be substantiveThe highest levels of NO2 occur in London, with the lowest levels in parts of south-west England.
