One day Robin went with his family to eat in a restaurant. They were sitting at a table and waiting for their meal. Suddenly, everyone around them started to cover their noses. Some of them even left their tables and went away.

When Robin’s family turned around to see what had caused this, they saw two homeless boys. The boys looked dirty and smelled bad. But both boys were smiling and had beautiful blue eyes. They were looking for someone kind. One of the boys went to the counter and he counted the coins he had. The other boy looked sick and he stood quietly.

The young lady at the counter asked the boy what they wanted. He said, “We only want a cup of coffee. “ That was all they could afford. They wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up. It was really cold outside. But to sit inside the restaurant, they had to buy something.

When Robin’s mother saw this, she wanted to help the boys. She ordered some more food. Then she went to the two boy’s table. She put the food on the table. The boys looked up at her and said, “Thank you. “ When Robin saw what his mother did, he understood what the unconditional(無條件的 ) love was. His mother treated those boys kindly. She did not expect anything in return. Now Robin saves his own pocket money and helps homeless people whenever he can.

A research has discovered that your gift for happiness is determined by your genes to a large degree. 1. . We can do this by overcoming negative emotions and developing positive emotions.

Strategy（策略）1: 2.

Strategy 2: Develop gratitude（感激）.

In Authentic Happiness, psychologist Martin Seligman encourages readers to perform a daily “gratitude exercise”. 3.

Strategy 3: Remember, money can’t buy happiness.

Research shows: 4. . Yes, “we always think that some things are wrong because they cannot bring us happiness,” writes Daniel Gilbert in Stumbling on Happiness.

Strategy 4: Take part in meaningful activities.

“People are seldom happier,” says Jackson, “than when they’re doing meaningful activities”. Yet, he has found that the most common leisure（休閑）activity — watching TV — produces some of the lowest levels of happiness. 5. Active leisure that helps a person grow does not come easily, he writes in Finding Flow.

Video gamers are also no longer just creatures playing alone. For some, gaming is having a positive effect on their social lives with games like Halo often being played in groups. 5. So it seems today, gaming, if used in moderation(有節(jié)制地), we can all take part.

When the morning sun looks in through your bedroom window, do you jump out of bed? 1. An adequate amount of sleep can make the difference between a great day and a terrible one!

A good night’s sleep doesn’t just happen. You need to prepare for it. 2. First, go to bed at the same time every day, and get up at the same time. If you haven’t gotten a good night’s sleep, don’t oversleep the next morning. Get up at your regular time. Sleeping late for just a couples of days can change your body clock to a different cycle. You don’t want that if you have a set daily schedule.

Also, avoid big meals at night. 3. Your stomach works hard to digest those fatty foods, and that may keep you up.

Your body produces a chemical called melatonin (褪黑色素) that helps you sleep. Light affects the amount of melatonin your body makes. 4. So at night turn off your TV and computer. Also, don’t read from a backlit (背光) electronic equipment like an IPad. Some scientists think that the light from those stops your body from making melatonin. So turn those screens off at least an hour before bedtime.

Maybe you can’t sleep or you wake up in the middle of the night. 5. Get up and do something relaxing elsewhere. Then go back to bed when you feel sleepy again. If you worry a lot, make a list of things you need to do the next day.Do that an hour before bed. That way you get your worrying out of the way before you go to bed.

After a good night’s sleep, you’ll be able to face a new day.

A. Don’t just lie in bed.

B. You can have three meals a day.

C. Or do you roll over and complain?

D. Various experts have given tips to help.

E. Your TV and computers might affect your sleep.

F. It produces more in the evening and less in the daytime.

G. Eating heavy, rich foods within two hours of bedtime can keep you awake.

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng).

Coffee has a history dating back to at least the 9th century and has been a catalyst for social interaction across cultures and eras. Originally discovered in Ethiopia, coffee beans were brought into the Middle East by Arab traders, spreading to Egypt, Yemen, Persia, Turkey, and North Africa by the 15th century. Muslim merchants eventually brought the beans to the thriving port city of Venice, where they sold them to wealthy Italian buyers. Soon, the Dutch began importing and growing coffee in places like Java and Ceylon (largely through slave labor), and the British East India Trading Company was popularizing the beverage in England. Coffee spread across Europe and even reached America.

Where there has been coffee, there has been the coffeehouse. From the 15th century Middle Eastern establishments where men gathered to listen to music, play chess, and hear recitations from works of literature, to Paris' Cafe le Procope where luminaries of the French Enlightenment such as Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot came to enjoy a hot cup of joe, coffeehouses have traditionally served as centers of social interaction, places where people can come to relax, chat, and exchange ideas.

The modern coffee shop is modeled on the espresso and pastry-centered Italian coffeehouses that arose with the establishment of Italian-American immigrant communities in major US cities. New York coffee shops were often frequented by the Beats in the 1950's. It wasn't long before Seattle and other parts of the Pacific Northwest were developing coffee shops as part of a thriving counterculture scene. The Seattle-based Starbucks took this model and brought it into mainstream culture.

Although coffeehouses today continue to serve their traditional purpose as lively social hubs in many communities, they have noticeably adapted to the times. Rediscovering their purpose as centers of information exchange and communication, many coffee shops now provide their customers with internet access and newspapers. It has become extremely common to see someone sitting at a Starbucks listening to music or surfing the web on his or her laptop.

Today, big business retail coffee shops are expanding quickly all over the world. Starbucks alone has stores in over 40 countries and plans to add more. Despite its popularity, Starbucks has been criticized and labeled by many as a blood-sucking corporate machine, driving smaller coffee shops out of business through unfair practices. This has even spawned an anti-corporate coffee counterculture, with those subscribing to this culture boycotting big business coffee chains. Increasingly popular coffee stores such as The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf are also giving Starbucks some stiff competition. In any case, it seems pretty clear that coffee has weaved itself into the fabric of our consumer-oriented culture.

1. Which of the following is the correct order of coffee spreading in history?

①Egypt ②America ③the Middle East

④Netherlands ⑤Venice

A. ①③④②⑤ B. ③①⑤④②

C. ①⑤④③② D. ③②⑤④①

2.We can infer from the passage ________.

A. Starbucks has beaten all the competitors

B. there are no changes in the development of coffee culture

C. the taste of coffee has changed a lot

D. Starbucks has some effect on the development of coffee culture

3.The famous coffeehouse “Starbucks” originally come from _______.

A. Seattle B. Ethiopia

C. Java D. France

4. Nowadays, if you come to a coffeehouse, you can _______.

A. play chess with other customers

B. enjoy delicious dishes from South America

C. surf the internet

D. watch a TV play
