12.What makes a person a giver or a taker?The idea of"give versus take"takes shape in all relationships of our lives.We're either giving advice,making time for people,or we're on the receiving end.We alternate between the two based on different situations we face on a daily basis,it not an hourly one.
According to Adam Grant,a professor at Pennsylvania University,most people are matchers.They make careful observations on takers and make it a point for them to pay something back.They hate to see people who act so generously towards others without receiving any reward.Actually,most matchers will try to promote and support givers so that they can get the good they deserve.
Another professor named Hannah Rile Bowles,from Harvard University,led a study on the idea.She asked 200senior managers to sit down in pairs where one person would act as the boss and the other as an employee to negotiate salary promotions.Male employees asked for an average salary of 146kwhilethefemalesaskedforonly141k.But why did they not bargain as hard as the men?Simply because they were more likely to be givers.
As a woman,I do enjoy the act of giving up my time,my knowledge and my care and attention to others.I don't expect anything in return,but I do tend to pull myself away when I feel like I'm being taken for granted.I also tend to get upset when I see a loved one's continuous actions of kindness go unnoticed.So it's safe to say I'm 50% giver,35% matcher and 15% taker.
I do know someone,however,who is 99% giver.They're devoting their time,sharing valuable insights and going out of their way for everyone who crosses their path.Although they've changed the lives of many people,they rarely see any of it returned.But the universe is slowly repaying them; they're now extremely successful,well known for what they do.

33.In Adam Grant's opinion,most peopleD.
A.prefer giving to taking
B.prefer taking to giving
C.tend to depend on others
D.tend to balance between giving and taking
34.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?C
A.Cheer myself up.
B.Give up on myself.
C.Stay away deliberately.
D.Force myself to move forward.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A
A.No good deed goes undone.
B.People who give are worth respecting.
C.Giving is the shortest path to success.
D.Sharing is the greatest human quality.

9.Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days,but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.
If I have learned anything in my 16 years,it is that communication is very important,both when you disagree and when you get along.With any relationship,you need to let other person know how you are feeling.If you are not able to communicate,you drift apart.When you are mad at your parents,or anyone else,not talking to them doesn't solve anything.
Communication begins with the concerns(關(guān)心)of another.It means that you can't just come home from school,go up to your room and ignore everyone.Even if you just say"Hi",and see how their day was for five minutes,it is better than nothing.
If you looked up the word"communication"in a dictionary,it would say"the exchange of ideas,the conveyance(表達(dá))of information,means of communication:a letter or a message".To maintain(保持)a good relationship,you must keep communication strong.Let people know how you feel even if it's just by writing a note.
When dealing with parents,you always have to make them feel good about how they me doing as a parent.If you are trying to make them see something as you see it,tell them that you'll listen to what they have to say,but ask them politely to listen to you.Yelling or walking away only makes the situation on worse.
This is an example:one night,Sophie went to a street party with her friends.She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks,but she didn't feel she could just ask to go home.That would be rude.After all,they had been nice enough to take her along will them.Needless to say,she was late getting home.Her parents were mad at first,not when Sophie explained why she was late,they weren't as mad and let the incident go.Communication is the key factor here.If Sophie's parents had not been willing to listen,Sophie would have bee in a lot of trouble.
Communication isn't a one-way deal:it goes both ways.Just remember:if you get into a situation like Sophie's,telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.

58.In the writer's view,dealing with parents isBthan with children.
A.easier               
B.more difficult          
C.more uninteresting    
D.more interesting
59.The main idea of the second paragraph isA.
A.the importance of communication                
B.to make your feeling known to others
C.the importance of friendship                    
D.the disagreement between generations
60.The example in this passage proves thatD.
A.Sophie's parents are willing to listen to her          
B.Sophie is very polite to ha parents
C.Sophie did well in explaining her being late         
D.communication is the solution to misunderstanding
61.All the following statements are correct except"D".
A.If you don't agree with others,you'd better let them know
B.Communication is a two-day deal
C.It is better to say"Hi"to others than say nothing
D.If you are not able to communicate,walk away.

20.Happy People Make Their Partners HealthierPeople who are happier are usually also healthier-and not just because they're happy about being healthy.When humans feel good,they're more likely to be active and less likely to attempt to cheer themselves up with cheeseburgers,ice cream and a two-day Game of Thrones marathon.
But a new study suggests that people whose partners are happier are probably also in better shape,even independently of their own happiness.In fact,the study's  data suggests that people with a happy partner are 34% more likely to be healthy than those married to a downer.
The authors propose a couple of reasons why a happy person might improve the health of their lover.First,a happy spouse is a better caretaker; he or she is more likely to have the emotional energ y to look after a significant other,making sure they're O.K.,have taken their medicine and are looked after when they're ill.
Secondly,people with a positive outlook are more likely to be playing the long game; they eat better,they exercise,they sleep regularly,they make plans and avoid doing self-destructive things because they feel good about the future.And they bring their companions along for the ride."Happy people drag their partners out of bed to go exercise,and they encourage them to eat healthier,"says Bill Chopik an associate psychology professor at MSU,and lead author of the study.
And thirdly,happy partners make life eas ier for their partners because their partners aren't stressed by the fact that their closest companion is always in a bad mood,and they're not exhausted by efforts to make them happy or under constant pressure.
It's hard to know what moral to draw from the study-apart from try to marry a happy person-since the stress of trying to figure out how to improve your spouse's mood may well undo all the beneficial effects of having a happy spouse.Chopik has a workaround."Relationship satisfaction between couples is one of the largest predictors of happiness,"he says.So instead of trying to figure out what's up with him or her,he suggests working out what's up with the two of you.

17.While music has value all by itself,researchers have long noticed that musicians also tend to be better at learning languages and show other improved reading and math abilities.Now a new study from the University of Washington by Christina Zhao shows that rhythm is an important bridge between music and speech as early as nine moths of age.
Researchers randomly placed babies into two groups of 20each,and each group played at the lab with their parents for a dozen 15-minute sessions over a month.
In one group,researchers played recordings of songs with a waltz rhythm and showed the parents how to help their babies tap out that 1-2-3beat in time with the music on boy drums or with their feet.In the other group,children played with typical toys and no music.
The babies in the music group were better able to detect random mistakes in that rhythm when they heard it within two weeks of the last session.They also showed a stronger brain response to disruptions in the rhythm.For example,researchers would sometimes alter the timing of syllables(音節(jié))by slightly shortening the middle sound of a word like bibbi to make it bibi-and the babies with music training were more likely to notice it.
In other words,music training not only improved the babies'ability to notice when a musical rhythm skipped a beat,but also improved their ability to notice when the rhythms of speech changed unexpectedly,an important skill for learning to talk
The study reflects Zhao's personal experiences as a pianist who music in college,and as someone who speaks both Mandarin and English.She noticed that a lot of her fellow musicians were also good at learning other languages."That really got me wondering how these two are related,"Zhao said.

2.Do you love holidays but hate the increase weight that follows?You are not alone.
Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods.Many people,however,are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.
With proper planning,though,it is possible to control your weight.The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much.You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy.The following suggestions may be of some help to you.
Do not miss meals.Before yon leave home for a feast (宴會(huì)),have a small,low-fat snack (小吃).This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods.Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables.A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full.Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.Better not have high-fat foods.Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.Choose lean meat (瘦肉).Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.
If you have a sweet tooth,try mints (薄荷) and fruits.They don't have fat content as cream and chocolate.
Don't let exercise take a break during the holidays.A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess (過(guò)多的) calories (卡路里).
