12．Which comes first，happiness or money？Are richer people happier？And if so，how do people get much richer？A recent study could tell you the answer．
The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29．Those who were happiest earned an average of $8，000 more than those who were the most depressed．
The researchers，from University College London and the University of Warwick，say that very gloomy teens，no matter how tall or smart they were，earned 10% less than their peers，while the happier ones earned up to 30% more．
Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school，college and the job interview，chiefly because they always feel better about life．It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends，who are often the key to homework help or networking．
A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness．In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women，Alas （the same gene doesn't appear to have the same effect on men）．And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest．
The big question is：if it is really true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids，is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework？The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades．Studies do show，after all，that more education leads to betterpaid jobs，which may give us a deep thought．
"These findings show that the teenagers'happiness is important to their future success，"one of the report's authors writes．"But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork．"

28．What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study？A
   A．Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier．
   B．Money can make people become happier．
   C．Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all．
   D．Schoolwork can help teens achieve success．
29．The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is thatC．
   A．they are easy to communicate with others
   B．they are good at doing their schoolwork
   C．they are hopeful and optimistic about their life
   D．they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day
30．The underlined word"gloomy"in Paragraph 3 probably means"A"．
   A．upset            B．glorious              C．happy             D．wealthy
31．What can be the best title for the text？D
   A．The way to educate kids．           B．The source of happiness．
   C．How to achieve your goal            D．The secret of being wealthier．

20．Muzak
The next time you go into a bank，a store，or a supermarket，stop and listen．What do you hear？（36）F It's similar to the music you listen to，but it's not exactly the same．That's because this music was especially designed to relax you，or to give you extra energy．Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing，but you react to the music anyway．
Quiet background music used to be called"elevator music"because we often heard it in elevators．But lately we hear it in more and more places，and it has a new name"Muzak"．About one-third of the people in America listen to"Muzak"every day．The music plays for 15minutes at a time，with short pauses in between．It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning，and between three and four in the afternoon，when people are more tired．（37）C．
If you listen to Muzak carefully，you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs．Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak，but others are happy when their songs are chosen．Why？（38）B．
Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel．It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do．Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background．（39）E．Supermarket shoppers buy 38percent more groceries．
（40）G．They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time．But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places．They say it helps them relax and feel calm．One way or another，Muzak affects everyone．Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!

A．Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world．
B．They get as much as $4million a year if their songs are used．
C．The music gives them extra energy．
D．Muzak tends to help people understand music better．
E．Factory workers produce 13percent more．
F．Music is playing in the background．
G．Some people don't like Muzak．

17．In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh．The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War．
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness，Richard Burton，Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrica as well as the big symphony or orchestras（交響樂團）．It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400，000 people yearly．
At the same time，the"Fringe"appeared as a challenge to the official festival．Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years．
Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh．
Today the"Fringe"，once less recognized，has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500 performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts．And yet as early as 1959，with only 19 theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big．
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself．In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1，695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries．More than 1.25 million tickets were sold．

25．Point was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning？A
A．To bring Europe together again．
B．To honor heroes of World War 11．
C．To introduce young theatre groups．
D．To attract great artists from Europe．
26．Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947？D
A．They owned a public house there．
B．They came to take up a challenge．
C．They thought they were also famous．
D．They wanted to take part in the festival．
27．Who joined the"Fringe"after it appeared？B
A．Popular writers            
B．University students．
C．Artists from around the world．
D．Performers of music and dance．
28．We may learn from the text that Edinburgh FestivalD．
A．has become a non-official event       B．has gone beyond an art festival
C．gives shows all year round           D．keeps growing rapidly．

Not so far in the distant past a study on water pollution found that common，everyday makeup products being washed down the drain was ending up in well and drinking water．Now a study has found that people pollute themselves．Many of the pollutants are linked to cancer and other serious health（41）B．What's the key cause of this pollution？Common household items，（42）I，appear to be used more by women than men．These include makeup，hair spray and commercial，chemically-made perfumes．These are perfumes that are（43）Fadvertised as having some sort of beneficial effect on the body and are even suggested as a replacement for natural essential oils．Studies on the effectiveness of fragrance oils and health benefits have been（44）E，something neglected to be mentioned．If the chemical scent has cancer-causing properties，it may not make sense to try and use it for helping you sleep or（45）Ayour blood pressure．Manufacturers argue that the risk is non-existent as the levels of chemicals found in the tests were so small．However，with over 60chemicals being found，many of which were non-existent before the turn of the century，researchers make note that these chemicals may be enough to cause problems．

1．[1]As the Chinese saying goes，"People are iron，and rice is steel"．Most people think that three meals a day to be normal，but people sometimes skip（跳過，略過） one of their regular meals．They do this because they are busy and don't want to spend the time．Or they don't have the money to buy enough food or they want to lose weight．In most cases，this is an unhealthy practice．
[2]Breakfast is most likely to be skipped，although many nutritionists say it's the most important one．Breakfast provides the fuel your body needs after a night without eating．Skipping breakfast can make it hard for you to concentrate，put you in a bad mood and affect your ability to think quickly and solve problems．You are also likely to be hungry and make up for those missed calories later on，perhaps eating even more than you would have if you had eaten breakfast．
[3]You may get some health benefits if you can avoid consuming more calories later in the day after skipping a meal．For example，eating normally one day and then eating only one small meal consisting of about 500calories the next day，and continuing with this pattern，may help you to lose weight，according to a study in 2007．
[4]Skipping meals among children is quite common．Although children make up for some of the missed calories by snacking，skipping meals among children is of particular concern because they are growing and need to get the necessary nutrients for growth and development．Not getting enough to eat also impacts their school performance and the ability to learn．
[5]To avoid skipping meals is a little difficult if you have habitually done that．However，planning ahead can make it easier．Have healthy foods on hand that you can take with you to eat if you don't have time to eat breakfast before you leave the house．If your children skip meals and snack more often to make up for this，make sure that they are snacking on nutritious foods rather than unhealthy foods．
76．What is the passage mainly about？（no more than 8words）Skpping meals is an unhealthy practice．
77．If you skip breakfast，what bad influences will there be？（at least 2items---no more than 20words）
①Put you in a bad mood ②You are also likely to be hungry
78．Fill in the blank in paragraph 2with proper words （no more than 2words）Breakfast
79．If you don't have time to have breakfast，what should you do？（no more than13words）Have healty foods on hand that you can take with you to eat
80．What does the word"this"（Line 2，Paragraph 1）probably refer to？（no more than 8words）people sometimes skip one of their regular meals．
