I have been writing for more than 50 years.I still consider myself to it, because I have written only one book. , I have written thousands of letters, more than a hundred e-books and millions of words on the Internet for hundreds of websites.

Rules change in languages. The strict rules of the 19th century were largely over the following 100 years. However, some rules and that is how it should be too. Rules in writing are very important. And writing is a thing and it involves languages, plots, reader’s preferences, etc. So, who should writing and book competitions? And what rules should they ? Readers buy more books than writers and language experts put together. And writers write for readers, some of might be other writers or teachers.

科目：高中英語 來源：2014-2015學(xué)年廣東深圳市高三第一次調(diào)研考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Our most commonly held code for success is broken. Conventional wisdom holds that if we work hard we will be more successful, and if we are more successful, then we’ll be happy. If we can just find that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But recent discoveries in the field of positive psychology have shown that this code is actually backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around. When we are positive, our brains become more engaged, creative, motivated, energetic, and productive at work. This discovery has been repeatedly borne out by rigid research in psychology and neuroscience(神經(jīng)學(xué)), management studies, and the bottom lines of organizations around the globe.

In The Happiness Advantage, Shawn Achor, who spent over a decade living, researching, and lecturing at Harvard University, draws on his own research—including one of the largest studies of happiness and potential at Harvard and others at companies like UBS to fix this broken code. Using stories and case studies from his work with CEOs of Fortune 500 in 42 countries, Achor explains how we can reprogram our brains to become more positive in order to gain a competitive ability at work.

Based on seven practical, actionable principles that have been tried and tested everywhere from classrooms to boardrooms, stretching from Argentina to Zimbabwe, he shows us how we can capitalize on the Happiness Advantage to improve our performance and maximize our potential.

A must-read for everyone trying to stand out in a world of increasing workloads and stress, The Happiness Advantage isn’t only about how to become happier at work. It’s about how to acquire the benefits of a happier and more positive mode of thinking to achieve the extraordinary in our work and in our lives.

1.Which of the following is the traditional code for success?

A. Hard word→success→happiness.

B. Success→happiness→hard word.

C. Happiness→hard word→success.

D. Hard work→ happiness→success.

2.What do we know about the new discovery in paragraph 1?

A. Conventional code for success is totally useless.

B. The more we are successful, the happier we are.

C. Positive psychology is really backward.

D. Happiness contributes greatly to success.

3.Why did the writer write the book The Happiness Advantages?

A. To reprogram one’s brain to be healthier.

B. To make people more positive and competitive.

C. To study stories and cases of CEOs.

D. To make a lecture at Harvard University.

4.The underlined phrase “capitalize on” in paragraph 3 is closes in meaning to ____

A. provide fund for

B. make full use of

C. write big letters for

D. stand out in

5.What is the purpose of the writer in writing the passage?

A. To help people stand out in the world.

B. To arouse people’s sense of happiness.

C. To help people decrease the work stress.

D. To strongly recommend the book.

Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity(長壽)boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers（鰥夫）were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man’s life and two to a woman’s. The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.

Even if the odds are stacked against you(the conditions are not favourable),marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn’t smoke. There’s a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouses; death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.

So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological mechanisms(機(jī)制).For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.

A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100.The best social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says:” People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”

1.William Farr’s study and other studies show that________.

A.social life provides an effective cure for illness

B.Being sociable helps improve one’s quality of life

C.Women benefit more than men from marriage

D.Marriage contributes a great deal to longevity

2.Linda Waite’s studies support the idea that________.

A.older men should quit smoking to stay healthy

B.Marriage can help make up for ill health

C.The married are happier than the unmarried

D.Unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life

3.It can be inferred from the context that the “flip side”(Line5,Para2)refers to________.

A.the disadvantages of being married

B.The emotional problems arising from marriage

C.The responsibility of taking care of one’s family

D.The consequence of a broken marriage

4.What does the author say about social networks?

A.They have effects similar to those of a marriage.

B.They help develop people’s community spirit.

C.They provide timely support for those in need.

D.They help relieve people of their life’s burden

5.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.It’s important that we develop a social network when young.

B.To stay healthy, one should have a proper social network.

C.Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.

D.We should share our social networks with each other.

Driving to a friend's house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftops. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people, myself included usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.

My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.

I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.

Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. We have televisions, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.

Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought: before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.

1.The best title for the passage would be______.

A. Touched by the moon

B. The pleasures of modern life

C. A bottomless well of silence

D. Break away from modern life

2.The writer felt sorry for himself because________.

A. there was too much pollution

B. he failed to see the fullest moon

C. he didn’t adapt to modern inventions

D. there were too accidents on the road

3.What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?

A. No modern equipment B. Complete silence.

C. The nice moonlight D. The high mountains

4.Modern things (Paragraph 4) are mentioned mainly to______.

A. show that the writer likes city life very much

B. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life

C. explain that people have fewer chances to enjoy nature

D. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them

5.The author wrote the passage to_______.

A.A. express the feeling of returning to nature

B. show the love for the moonlight

C. advise modern people to learn to live

D. want to communicate longing for modern life
