24、   Being happy is an ability, which means we need to learn how to do it. This, perhaps, explains why around one in four undergraduate students at Yale University in the US have signed up (报名) for its Psychology and the Good Life course this semester. The course actually set a record of being the most popular in Yale’s 316-year history.

Laurie Santos, the psychology professor who will be running the course, believes that the high school lives which her students must have had are the reason that the course is so popular. It’s likely that students who get into top universities like Yale had a difficult time in high school. In order to stand out, they had to surround themselves with endless tests, competitions, and so-called “hobbies”, which made them very unhappy. "A lot of us are anxious (焦虑的), stressed, numb (麻木的)," Alannah Maynez, a 19-year-old undergraduate student at Yale, told The New York Times,“and I won’t miss such a chance.”

Yale isn’t the first university to offer such courses. Back in 2006, Harvard introduced its Positive Psychology class, and about 900 students signed up for it. There are now many universities in the US that have started courses on positive psychology, including the University of Pennsylvania and Claremont Graduate University.

It may sound sad when Harvard student Nancy Cheng called Positive Psychology a “self-help class”. But it’s a good thing that students accept that they have a problem, instead of having to pretend that everything is fine in front of everyone.

It’s true that being happy is an ability, and it’s OK that you may not have it yet. However, it’s never too early—or too late—to start learning.

【2】What does Alannah Maynez think of the psychology course?

【3】How many universities that have positive psychology courses are mentioned in the passage?

A.Four B.One. C.Two.

【4】What does the underlined word “pretend” mean?

A.掩盖 B.假装 C.承认

【5】From the passage, we can know that________.

A.it’s never too early or too late to start learning how to be happy

B.Yale is the first university to offer psychology courses

C.Nancy Cheng thought the course helped her a lot to be happy

25、Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）

A new study warns that about thirty percent of the world’s people may not have enough water by the year 2025.

A private American organization called Population Action International did the new study. It says more than three hundred and thirty-five million people lack enough water now. The people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.

P-A-I researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about three thousand million people may lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems.   The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on Earth stays the same. The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking waters not safe.

Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera (霍乱), which are carried in water. Lack of water may also result in more international conflict. Countries may have to compete (竞争) for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan and Iraq.

The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water of agriculture.

29、   Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work in Minneapolis. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window and asked if he wanted a free _______ right now. The man accepted the offer. Then Steller loaded a red chair from her car. The man took a seat and shared his life story while Steller was trimming(修剪) his curly graying hair.

Until now, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. These clients are all living a poor life, and she is keenly aware of the _______ of her cleanup job. For her, it’s more than a haircut. She wants it to be a gateway not only to show value and respect but also to get to know people. She wants to build relationships. Steller knows that a haircut can _______ a life. And it did happen to her. As a teen, she suffered from a bowel(肠道) disease which was so serious that her hair thinned quickly. She was very upset and afraid to go out. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut. Sitting down and having somebody look at her and talk to her like a person and not just an illness made her feel cared about and less _______.

After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology(美容) school, she _______ to begin what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people in need on the streets.

Although she can’t fix their problems, Steller believes she can help them feel less alone for a moment. Steller listens to people’s stories of loss, addiction, and struggle to get back on their feet. The _______ obviously works. When she was cutting a woman’s hair one day, someone drove by and shouted, “You look amazing!” Hearing this, the woman in the chair cried _______, “I’m not invisible! I thought I was invisible. Look, people see me!”

Steller’s simple act of kindness is starting to spread. Just as she says, the way we show up in the world _______, and we have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that we give them.
