5．Last spring，Michelle fell in love with kite-boarding，an adventure sport that combines surfing and sailing．So she got a kite-board，took some （21）B and a few months later drove out to the Banana River．There she met John，who offered to help her （22）D  her skills．
One day，John （23）C Michelle while his wife，Nancy，stay ed behind on a Jet Ski （摩托艇）．In that way，there would be  （24）Dto bring back Michelle if she got into trouble．After John gave her a few（25）C，he took off．He'd sailed about three quarters of a mile down the river when he felt the wind （26）D．He knew that the stronger the wind grew，the more（27）A it would be for Michelle to control her board．（28）B，he turned and started sailing back toward the two women．
Michelle had （29）C  decided to head for shore．The wind was too strong for her to handle the kite．She prepared to land her （30）D by releasing one of the four lines that kept the sail in the air．（31）Dshe didn't have a chance．She was thrown over the water，still （32）A  to the kite．Seconds later，a huge wind sent the kite upward．Even more dangerous，the sail's lines started to twist together，round and round．Michelle（33）B  to free from the kite．But she failed．
Nancy was several hundred feet away on the Jet Ski and couldn't get to her （34）Denough to help．By then，John had closed in and Michelle felt John （35）C  her out of t he water．As she held his arm，he tried to pull the handle but couldn't （36）A it．Then suddenly，John let go．At that point，Michelle was sure she would die without him h  olding （37）B  her．But John had seen Nancy approaching and （38）Cthat he'd have a better chance  of helping Michelle．He jumped onto the Jet Ski．As the kite dived down，with all his（39）B，he jumped from the Jet Ski onto the kite and dragged it to the water．Finally Michelle was saved．

4．Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe，So All May Eat（SAME） in downtown Denver，the spirit of generosity（慷慨）is instantly noticeable：A donation box stands in place of a cash register．Customers here pay only what they can afford，no questions asked．A risky business plan，perhaps，but SAME Café has done one unchangeable thing in the Mile High City for six years：Open only at midday，the restaurant provides poor local can instead volunteer as waiters and waitresses，and dishwashers，or took after the buildings and equipment for the cafe．
"It's based on trust，and it's working all right"，says co-owner Brad Birky，who started the café in 2006．With his wife Libby．Previously volunteering at soup kitchens，the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served there．"We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where everyone felt comfortable，regardless of their circumstances，"Birky says．SAME's special lunch menu changes daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farmers．The café now averages 65 to 70 customers （and eight volunteers） a day．And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading．In early 2007，one volunteer who had cleared snow for his meals during the long winter said goodbye to the Birkys，"He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane clear up，"says Birky．

68．What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys prcviously worked for？B
A．They refused to have volunteers．
B．They offered low quality food．

3．"Happiness Advantage"Effect
In July 2010Burt's Bees，a personal-care products company，was going through enormous change as it began a global expansion into 19new countries．In this kind of high-pressure situation，many leaders bother their assistants with frequent meetings or flood their in-boxes with urgent demands．In doing so，managers lift everyone's anxiety level，which activates the part of the brain that processes threats and steals resources from the prefrontal cortex （ 大腦皮層），which is responsible for effective problem solving．
Burt's Bees's then-CEO，John Wolfgang，took a different approach．Each day，he'd send out an e-mail praising a team member for work related to global marketing．He'd interrupt his own presentations to remind his managers to talk with their teams about the company's values．He asked me to further a three-hour session with employees on happiness in the course of the expansion effort．
As one member of the senior team told me a year later，Wolfgang's emphasis on developing positive leadership kept his managers actively involved and loyal as they successfully transformed the company into a global one．
That outcome shouldn't surprise us．Research shows that when people work with a positive mind-set （思維模式），performance on nearly every level-productivity，creativity，involvement-improves．Yet happiness is perhaps the most misunderstood driver of performance．For one，mostpeople believe that success comes before happiness．"Once I get a promotion，I'll be happy，"they think．Or，"Once I hit my sales target，I'll feel great．"But because success is a moving target-as soon as you hit your target，you raise it again-the happiness that results from success does not last long．
In fact，it works the other way around：People who have a positive mind-set perform better in the face of challenge．I call this the"happiness advantage"-every business outcome shows improvement when the brain is positive．I've observed this effect in my role as a researcher and lecturer in 48countries on the connection between employee happiness and success．And I'm not alone：In an analysis of 225academic studies，researchers found strong evidence of cause-and-effect relationship between life satisfaction and successful business outcomes． Another common misunderstanding is that our genetics，our environment，or a combination of the two determines how happy we are．To be sure，both factors have an impact．But one's general sense of well-being is surprisingly unstable．The habits you form，the way you interact with colleagues，how you think about stress-all these can be managed to increase your happiness and  your chances of success．ccess．

2．Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life．Every waking moment，the eyes are working to see the world around us．Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight，but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes．Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：
•Schedule yearly exams．（36）BExperts advise parents to bring babies 6to 12months of age to the doctor for a careful check．The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment，including eyeglasses．
•Protect against UV rays （紫外線(xiàn)）．Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes．No matter what the season is，it's extremely important to wear sunglasses．（37）C
Give your eyes a break．Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products．（38）GExperts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20rule：every 20minutes，take a 20-second break and look at something 20feet away．
•（39）AAs part of a healthy diet，eat more fruits and vegetables each day．Vitamins （維生素） C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health．
•Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses （隱形眼鏡）．Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight．While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses，many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk．（40）FOtherwise，you may have problems such as red eyes，pain in the eyes，or a more serious condition．

A．Eat your greens．
B．Eye care should begin early in life．
C．They can properly protect your eyes．
D．Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins．
E．Parents usually don't care about their own eyesight．
F．Always follow the doctor's advice for appropriate wear．
G．This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness．

1．According to sociologists（社會(huì)學(xué)家），every modern industrial society has some form of social stratification（階層）．Class，power and status are important in deciding people's rank in society．
Class means a person's economic position in society．A commonly used classification is lower class，middle class and upper class．While sociologists disagree on how these terms should be exactly defined，they do describe societies like the United States quite well．One study shows that 53% of Americans belong to the lower class，46% the middle class，and 1% the upper class．Interestingly，a surgeon earning＄500，000a year and a bus driver earning＄50，000a year both regard themselves as the middle class!
Power refers to the amount of control a person has over other people．Obviously，people in positions of great power （such as governors） exercise（行使）big power，but people who take orders from others have less power．Power and class do not always go hand in hand，however．For example，the governor of a state has great power，but he or she may not belong to a corresponding （相應(yīng)的）economic class．Generally，however，there is a relationship between power and class．
To our knowledge，there aren't too many people who aren't millionaires in the U．S．Senate!
Status is the honor or respect attached to a person's position in society．It can also be affected by power and class，but not necessarily so．For example，a university professor may have a high status but not belong to a high social class or have a lot of power over others．
54．What can we learn about"the middle class"from Paragraph 2？B
A．People earning＄50，000a year belong to the middle class．
B．Nearly half Americans belong to the middle class．
C．People generally consider bus drivers as the middle class．
D．Sociologists have a clear definition of the middle class．
55．According to the text，we know thatA．
A．power and class do not always correspond with each other
B．status refers to a person's economic position in society
C．people with high status have a lot of control over others
D．class is less important in deciding a person's social rank
56．Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text？A

7．At the risk of sounding lazy，I'll just be honest：I used to hate making my bed．Why should I bother？I'm just going to get right back into it later，and no one except my immediate family will see it．
But something I read last week in Charles Duhigg's"The Power of Habit"changed my mind．According to Duhigg，making your bed every morning is connected with better productivity and sticking to a budget．It has also been suggested that making your bed promotes happiness．My interest was attracted．
According to Duhigg，making your bed is something called a keystone habit．Changing or forming keystone habits helps you develop other good habits．
I figured that I was the perfect test case for the Make Your Bed to Achieve Happiness Theory and that it was worth a try．So far I've made my bed for 10days in a row．And here's what I've noticed：Making my bed inspires my children to make their beds，clean their rooms and do the laundry and the dishes．
Karen Miller，author of"Hand Wash Cold"，explains："The state of your bed is the state of your head．"I think she is on to something．When I leave my bed in a heap （一堆），I leave the bedroom feeling defeated by my bed，my alarm clock，and my general sleepy mood．I'm reluctant to get the day started．
But when I look at my freshly made bed，I have to admit it：I smile a little．I feel just a bit more motivated．Productive，even．But sticking to a budget？That part is still up for debate．I just bought some beautiful pillows for my freshly made bed．I can't leave that beautiful bed half-dressed，can I？
24．The author decided to make her bedC．
A．to create a good impression
B．to form some keystone habits
C．under the influence of a book
D．a(chǎn)t the request of her family
25．After watching the author making her bed，the author's childrenC．
A．got up very early 
B．felt happier at home
C．began to share the housework 
D．loved her more than before
26．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word"reluctant"？D
A．Curious．
B．Regretful．
C．Lucky．
D．Unwilling．
27．How does the author feel about the habit of making her bed？D
A．It is a waste of time．
B．It helps save money．
C．It promotes communication．
D．It makes a difference in life．
