8．Ever since the global economic recession（ 蕭條） began in 2008，many Americans have changed their lifestyles by downsizing what they buy and what they possess．
Tammy Strobel and her husband used to own a two-bedroom apartment，two cars and had good incomes．But Tammy wasn't happy．Inspired by a web site，they began donating some of their belongings to charity，and eventually got rid of their cars．Some thought they were crazy，but now they feel much happier．Without debt and working fewer hours，now they have more time to be outdoors and to volunteer．
"The idea that you need to go bigger to be happy is false，"Ms．Strobel says．"I really believe that the acquisition of material goods doesn't bring about happiness．"
Despite the fact that the economy is not as booming as it was，studies have shown that many are feeling happier as they save more and spend less．This mainly happens when they spend money on experiences instead of material objects and when they relish（喜愛(ài)）what they plan to buy long before they buy it．
It is true that extra cash always makes life a little easier because it lets people meet basic needs．But scholars have found that types of purchases，their size and frequency，and even the timing of the spending all affect long-term happiness．One major finding is that spending money for an experience---concert tickets，F(xiàn)rench lessons，sushi-rolling classes---produces longer-lasting satisfaction．
At the height of the recession in 2008，consumers were doing something different---vacationing in their yards，eating more dinners at home，organizing family game nights．As a result，these leisure activities appeared to make them less lonely and increased their interactions with others．
"I think people are realizing they don't need what they had．They're more interested in creating memories，"says a scholar．
To stop purchasing things using credit cards at any time brings happiness，too；in other words，waiting for something and working hard to get it makes it feel more valuable and more stimulating．In fact，scholar have found that anticipation increases happiness．Considering buying an i-Pad？You might want to think about it as long as possible before taking one home．
Ms．Strobel is now an advocate（擁護(hù)者） of simple living．"My lifestyle now would not be possible if I still had a huge two-bedroom apartment filled to the gills（完全滿了）with stuff，two cars，and 30 grand（一千美元） in debt，"she says．"Give away some of your stuff，"she advises．"See how it feels．"
56．What did Ms Strobel and her husband do to change their life？D
a．Donated their things to charity．b．Changed their jobs．
c．Got rid of their cars．d．Spent more time outdoors．
A．a(chǎn)，b，c          B．b，c，d          C．a(chǎn)，b，d          D．a(chǎn)，c，d
57．Which of the following is not a purchase of experience？C
A．Enroll in a French course．
B．Learn how to make Japanese sushi．
C．Get a new Mac．
D．Go to a concert．
58．It is true that moneyD
A．a(chǎn)lways makes people happier        
B．enables people to work fewer hours
C．makes one a better volunteer        
D．helps people to meet their basic needs
59．Purchase of experience can make people feel happier becauseA
A．They increase the interaction between people
B．They are more economical than material goods
C．They are unique and can't be obtained again
D．They make the participant smarter
60．Why does stopping using a credit card to buy anything at any time bring happiness？B
A．Because one has to pay for interest by using a credit card．
B．Because the process of saving money and waiting for the thing you want makes it feel more valuable．
C．Because it helps stop buying things one actually doesn't need
D．Because as one waits，he/she often finds something better to buy．

10．People are divided into those who can jump out of bed each morning and those who need several hours to wake up．But does it tell the full story？
I have hated getting up early all my life．The moment the alarm goes off in the morning I feel sick and it's hard to stomach any food until mid-morning．Nights，though，are a different story； I'll happily stay up and I'll do anything to escape an early start．
This makes me an owl，but I know plenty of larks who insist that dawn is the best part of the day．While I stumble into work bleary-eyed，they have been up for hours and even seem cheerful about it．By the evening the roles are reversed（顛倒）．This is where we come into our own．
But it is a myth to say that society is neatly divided into lark and owls．Surveys that explore what time of day people prefer to do activities reveal that only 20% of adults are true larks or owls．That leaves 80% of us-half of which lean towards one direction or the other，the other half are neither．That's terrible for those owls around the world who have to exist in a society organised around the larks．Schools and work often start very early，and there's a sense of love for getting up early，while the owls are simply slovenly．But no one suggests that the larks are lazy for having an early night while owls are working．
Fortunately science is on my side．I'm not sleeping my life away or missing the best part of the day．I'm behaving according to my genes．Researchers have found that your chronotype（睡眠類型）is to a large extent genetic．So it seems that when I try to get up early I am fighting my genes．With the help of an alarm clock I can force myself to get up early．But as soon as I fail to set the alarm my genes will return to my old ways．
32．According to the passage，what is the characteristic of larks？D
A．They go to bed late and get up late．
B．They go to bed early and get up late．
C．They go to bed late and get up early．
D．They go to bed early and get up early．
33．What do we know about the surveys mentioned in the passage？B
A.20% of adults are true larks
B.40% of adults are neither larks nor owls．
C．Half of people seem to be owls．
D．People can only be divided into larks and owls．
34．The underlined word"slovenly"in Paragraph 4can be best replaced by"A"．
A．lazy
B．bored
C．tired
D．stupid
35．What is the last paragraph mainly about？C
A．What helps us fall asleep              
B．How much sleep we need
C．What makes people owls or larks       
D．How to change one's sleep pattern．

7．There is a problem discussed by people about whether parents should hit their children？Or should they ever beat them？
Research suggests many of us are likely to respond"no"，and public support for spanking（打屁股）has been falling over the years．But surveys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking their child at least once．
I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect，and my parents often turned to physical punishment．And，no，I don't feel I was damaged by it．
Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children．
But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn't the answer．
Two years ago，Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents u sed physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive．
Murray Straus，professor at the University of New Hampshire in America，has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades．He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers．It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked，but the punishment may have been counterproductive（反作用的）to their mental development，as well．
Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks（用巴掌打）on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit．
Last year，Marjorie Gunnoe，a psychologist at Calvin College，studied teens who have never been spanked．There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished．Gunnoe's research suggests they don't turn out any better than those who were sometimes spanked．
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers（脾氣）．But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical punishment．

29．According to the first three paragraphs，the author was probably hit by her parents whenC．
A．they were dissatisfied with her grade
B．they cannot control their temper
C．she showed no respect for the elder
D．their discipline turns out to be not strict enough
30．According to Murray Straus，children who are physically punishedB．
A．a(chǎn)re less aggressive toward others when they get older
B．may develop lower IQs than their peers
C．benefit from occasional spanking
D．have slower physical development
31．The author seems to agree thatA．
A．good parents discipline their children in a fair and reasonable way
B．children who have been spanked tend to behave better than those who haven't
C．physical punishment should be the last resort （手段）of any parent
D．parents should determine whether a child needs to be smacked or not．

8．About ten years ago，a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street．He was going a bit too fast in his shiny，black，12cylinder Jaguar XKE，which was only two months old．
He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something．As his car passed，no child came out，but a brick sailed out and-WHUMP!-it hit the Jag's shiny black side door!Immediately Josh stopped the car，jumped out，seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car．He shouted at the kid，"What was that all about and who are you？That's my new Jag，that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money．Why did you throw it？"
