21、How much free time do you need to be happier？Feeling overwhelmed by your to-do list can certainly make you unhappy, but new research suggests that more free time might not be the magic elixir（灵丹妙药） like many of us have dreamed.

Researchers found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective well-being（幸福） -but only up to a point. People who had up to two hours of free time a day generally reported they felt better than those who had less time. But people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally said they felt worse. “While too little time is bad, having more time is not always better,” said Marissa Sharif, an assistant professor of marketing at The Wharton School. For example, some adults struggle with the “retirement blues”, which can be due to a lack of stimulation and structure, among other things. They conducted several smaller online experiments. In one they asked participants to imagine having 3.5 to 7 free hours per day. They were asked to imagine spending that time doing “productive” things（like exercising） or to imagine doing “unproductive” activities (like watching TV).

Study participants believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day-but only if they used it unproductively. “In other words, how people use their free time matters,” Sharif said. “Of course, what feels ‘productive’ is up to you. Free-time activities like knitting, reading, cooking or gaming are also known to put people in a state of flow. In cases when people do find themselves with excessive（过多的）amounts of spare time, such as retirement or having left a job,” Sharif said, “our results suggest these individuals would benefit from spending their newfound time with purpose.”

【1】What is the finding of the new study?

A．Adults tend to feel happy in their free time.

B．Being too busy threatens people’s physical health.

C．More free time does not definitely mean more happiness.

D．More and more people have little spare time.

【2】Why does the author mention the example in Paragraph 2?

A．To emphasize the significance of spending free time.

B．To indicate the reasons for adults’ being upset.

C．To forecast the retirement life in the future.

D．To prove the discovery of the new research

【3】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The requirements of the experiment

B．The significance of the experiment.

C．The consequence of the experiment.

D．The purpose of the experiment.

【4】What can we infer from Sharif’s words in the last paragraph?

A．Taking good advantage of free time will help bring people happiness.

B．Attending too many activities may damage people’s health.

C．Spending spare time with friends often benefits people a lot.

D．Having little free time may result in anxiety.

22、Millions of people all over the world use the word OK. In fact, some people say the word is used more often than any other word in the world. OK means all right or acceptable. It expresses agreement or approval. 【1】Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw (乔克托语). The Choctaw word “okeh” means the same as the American word okay. Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth century. But many people doubt this. Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word “OK” in reports published in the 1960s. He said the word began being used in the 1830s.【2】Some foreign-born people wrote “all correct” as “o-l-l-k-o-r-r-e-c-t”, and used the letters OK. Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago. They said he put the first letters of his name——O and K——on each object people gave him to send on the train.【3】The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840.They called their group the OK club. The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin was born---Old Kinderhook, New York. Then there is the expression A-OK．It is a space-age expression. It was used in 1961 during the flight of astronaut Alan Shepard. He was the first American to be launched into space. His flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as planned. Shepard reported, “Everything is A-OK.”【4】One story says it was first used during the early days of the telephone to tell an operator that a message had been received. There are also funny ways to say okay.【5】These expressions were first used in the 1930s. Today, a character on the American television series “The Simpsons” says it another way. He says okely-doke.

A．Some people say okey-dokey or okey-doke．

B．Still others say a political organization invented the word．

C．Therefore, it has become popular in that area from then on．

D．But many experts don’t agree on what the expression means.

E．Still, language experts do not agree about where the word came from.

F．It was a short way of writing a different spelling of the word “all correct”.

G．However, some experts say the expression did not begin with the space age.
