21、Happy people have habits you can introduce into your everyday life. Here are some of them. They surround themselves with other happy people.

Joy can spread. Researchers of the Framingham Heart Study who studied the spread of happiness over 20 years found that those who are surrounded by happy people are more likely to become happy in the future. 【1】

They try to be happy.

Yes. It’s as simple as it sounds. 【2】 According to two studies recently published in The Journal of Positive Psychology, those who actively tried to feel happier in the studies reported the highest level of positive moods(心情), making a case for thinking yourself happy.

They are mindful of the good.

【3】 However, happy people give attention to their smaller victories, too. “When we take time to notice the things that go right, it means we’re getting a lot of little rewards throughout the day,” says Susan Weinschenk, a Ph.D.in Psychology.

They devote some of their time to giving.

Even though there are only 24 hours in a day, positive people fill some of that time doing good for others, which, in return, does some good for the do-gooders themselves. A long-term research project called Americans’ Changing Lires found a series of benefits associated with altruism(利他主义).【4】People of all ages who volunteered were happier and experienced better physical health and less depression.

【5】

“When you listen, you open up your ability to take in more knowledge,” writes David Mezzapelle, author of Contagious Optimism. Good listening is a skill that strengthens relationships and leads to more satisfying experiences. A good listener may walk away from a conversation feeling as if their presence served a purpose, which is closely connected with increased happiness.

A．They make a point to listen.

B．They smile when they mean it.

C．Just trying to be happy can lift your spirits.

D．Volunteer work was good for both mental and physical health.

E．This is reason enough to spend more time with cheerful people.

F．It’s important to celebrate great hard earned accomplishments.

G．Happy people take the time to appreciate these easy-to-come-by pleasures.

22、Dog owners walked about 23minues longer each day than non-dog owners In a new study, dog owners took 2,760 additional seps—compared to people who didn’t have a dog at home. Bu here’s the real good news: That extra exercise was done at a moderate（适度的）pace, which means it could help adults meet their recommended weekly totals for physical activity.

The research, published in BMC Public Health, focused on adults 65 and older, who tend to be less active than younger people. The study included 43 dog owners and 43 non-dog owners, all of whom were monitored continuously for three week-long periods. When they compared the two groups, the researchers found that dog ownership was associated with a large, potentially health-improving effect.

Dog owners walked about 23 minutes longer each day than non-dog owners, 119 minutes versus 96 minutes on average. They also took an additional 2,760 steps, and had eight fewer continuous periods of sitting down. Most of that extra walking was done at moderate pace, defined as 100 or more steps a minute. Dog owners walked at this pace for 32 minutes a day, versus just 11 minutes a day for non-dog owners.

The World Health Organization（WHO）recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of physical activity a week. This increased walking time alone could just about satisfy that requirement, say the researchers—so it makes total sense that 87 percent of dog owners in the study met these guidelines, versus just 47 percent of non-dog owners.

Co-author Nancy Gee says that pet ownership may help older adults get more activity or maintain their current activity level for a longer period of time. “This could improve their chances of a better quality of life, improved or maintained cognition（认知）, and perhaps, even overall longevity（寿命）,”she said.

Here at Health, we’ ll add that caring for pets has been shown to have plenty of other physical and mental health benefits, as well. As animal lovers ourselves, we’ re happy to add one more to the list.

【1】What can we learn about the research？

A．It was targeted on old people.

B．It was sponsored by the WHO.

C．It had an undesirable effect on dog owners.

D．It took the mental health of dog owners into consideration.

【2】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3？

A．To present the results of the research.

B．To show the guidelines of the research.

C．To describe the process of doing the research.

D．To explain the reasons for conducting the research.

【3】What does Nancy Gee think of owning a dog?

A．It is too expensive.

B．It is time-consuming.

C．It enables older adults to live a healthy life.

D．It helps young adults to keep a healthy routine.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Non-pet owners enjoy more pleasure

B．Animal lovers are more generous

C．Young people walk less today

D．Dog owners walk way more

23、A 25-year-old American with a university degree can expect to live a decade longer than a peer who dropped out of high school. Although researchers have long known that the rich live longer than the poor, this education gap is less well documented. And although the average American’s expected span(预期寿命) has been smooth in recent year—and, shockingly, even fell between 2015 and 2017—that of the one-third with a bachelor’s degree has continued to lengthen.

This gap in life expectancy is growing, according to new research published in the report of the National Academy of Sciences. Anne Case and Angus Deation of Princeton University found that the lifespans of those with and without a bachelor’s degree started to become different in the 1990s and 2000s. This gap grew even wider in the 2010s.

What is the link between schooling and longevity(长寿)? Some argue that better-educated people develop healthier lifestyles: each additional year of study reduces the chances of being a smoker and of being overweight. The better-educated earn more, which in turn is associated with greater health.

Ms Case and Mr Deaton argue that changes in labor markets, including the rise of automation and increased demand for highly-educated workers, coupled with the rising costs of employer-provided health care, have decreased the supply of well-paid jobs for those without a degree. This may be contributing to higher rates of alcohol and drug use, suicide and other “deaths of despair”.

The authors argued that the educational gap in mortality(致死率) will widen in the wake of the covid-19 pandemic. For America’s overall life expectancy to start climbing again, improvements will be needed across all social groups, not just among the privileged few.

【1】When did the lifespans of people with and without a degree vary greatly?

A．In the 1990s.

B．In the 2020s

C．In the 2000s

D．In the 2010s

【2】According to the article, changes in labor markets reduce jobs for those without a degree. Which change is NOT included?

A．The rising spending of employer-provided health care.

B．The gap in life expectancy.

C．Raised request for better-educated workers.

D．The development of automation.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “in the wake of” probably mean ?

A．after

B．until

C．before

D．while

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Changes in labor market.

B．Quit bad habits by Further study

C．Educated Americans live longer.

D．Highly-educated people develop healthier lifestyles.
