21、What makes you happy? You may want to answer that spending time with your family, taking a vacation or driving a new sports car makes you happy but the key to happiness may be altruism (利他行为). Helping others may actually increase your happiness.

According to Time Magazine, the greatest thinkers in the world have suggested that true happiness is found in helping others and now there is scientific research from a team of psychologists at the University of Missouri-Columbia to prove it.

The researchers led by Liudmila Titova and Kennon Sheldon looked at whether pursuing happiness for others will actually make people happier. They found that it does.

Two experiments were conducted by the team, according to Psychology Today. In the first experiment there searchers asked participants to recall a time that they tried to make themselves or another person happy. They were asked to write about the event and rate how happy it made them feel.

In the second experiment, they were asked to remember a time they tried to make someone else happy and also write about how it made them feel. This experiment elicited a higher rate of happiness than the first.

“The results of these studies extend findings from previous research by showing that people gain more personal happiness from attempts to make other people happy—an approach that might seem unbelievable for a lot of people at first,” researchers wrote in the study.

But how does the research translate into real life? According to Time Magazine, find your passion. Give it to people or causes that move you and share your values. Whatever you do, the key is to finding an approach that works for you and let it come naturally. Remember that improving happiness is a benefit of helping others and not the goal.

【1】What makes people happy according to the first paragraph?

A．Driving a new sports car.

B．Travelling during a vacation.

C．Offering generosity to others.

D．Spending time with their family.

【2】How did the researchers prove their findings?

A．By using examples.

B．By making experiments.

C．By clarifying a concept.

D．By demonstrating facts.

【3】What does the underlined word “elicit” mean in paragraph 5?

A．Produce.

B．Improve.

C．Display.

D．Discover.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Pursuing Happiness for Others Counts

B．Sharing Your Values Will Make Sense

C．Improving Happiness Benefits You Much

D．Helping Others Can Improve Happiness

22、Adolescents refer to boys and girls at high-school level—more specifically the second, third and forth years of high schools. In dealing with students at this level, we must bear in mind that to some degree they are at the difficult stage, generally called adolescence.

Students at this level are likely to be confused mentally. They usually find it hard to concentrate on what they intend to do and often have romantic dreams. 【1】 They lack frankness and are usually very easily affected by their own emotions but hate to admit it. They are driven either by greater ambition, probably beyond their capability, or by extreme laziness caused by the fear of not succeeding or achieving objectives. 【2】. They are willing to work, but they hate to work without obtaining the result they think they should obtain.

Regarding school issues, although they seldom say so, they really want to be consulted and given an opportunity to direct their own affairs, but they need a good amount of guidance. They seldom admit that they need this guidance and they frequently rebel against it. But if it’s intelligently offered they accept it with enthusiasm. As to personal beliefs, most of adolescents are trying to form political ideals and they have a tendency to be sometimes extremely idealistic, and at other times conventional, blindly accepting what their fathers and grandfathers believed in. 【3】. On the one hand they are too modest and on the other hand unreasonably boastful. They tend to be influenced more by a strong character than by great intelligence.

【4】. Having a better understanding of the characteristics and needs of young people at this age is a task that falls both on educators and other people involved. It may also help the young go through this difficult and critical stage of life in a more constructive manner.

A．The critical abilities are beginning to develop in adolescence.

B．Their view on life usually falls on two extremes.

C．Of all periods of life, this is what may best be called the “plastic age”.

D．They are basically timid or self-conscious.

E．Despite that, it is also in this period that strong ties between teachers and students develop.

F．Fundamentally they want to be kept busy but they refuse to admit it.

23、As China Puts on Weight, Type-2 Diabetes (糖尿病) Is Rapidly Rising

More than 30 years ago, doctors in the northern city of Daqing began a pioneering long-term study into the prevention of type-2 diabetes, a disease which was then thought to affect about 1% of Chinese. When doctors, academics and officials gathered there this autumn to discuss the conclusions and promote prevention work, they faced a very different reality.【1】Type-2 diabetes is becoming more common globally, but in recent years the rate of the disease has been growing fastest in China.

Diabetes is a disfunction in the body’s regulation of blood-sugar levels. Type 1 is rare and usually shows up early in life, caused by factors that are not yet well understood. It can kill swiftly unless managed with daily injections of insulin (胰岛素).

【2】It tends to develop in adults, especially if they are overweight or do not exercise much. It can usually be controlled with pills and lifestyle changes, and can sometimes be reversed. Both types, if not well-treated, can cause complications such as organ damage, blindness, strokes and heart attacks.

【3】Twenty years ago, it had fewer than 25 million. The dramatic increase, almost entirely involving type 2s, worries the government. The study in Daqing showed how lifestyle changes can prevent type 2 among people with damaged glucose tolerance (糖耐量), which is sometimes a start of the condition. The country’s health-care system is trying to ensure symptoms are detected, and help people with them.

A big reason for the increase is that as people get richer, they often consume more processed foods and sugary drinks. One in seven Chinese adults is overfat, including a quarter of adults in Beijing, China’s fattest city. The urban proportion of the population has grown from less than 20% to about 60% since 1980.【4】

There may be a genetic link, too. Research finds that ethnic-Han Chinese are acquiring type 2 diabetes while younger and thinner than Caucasians. Smoking is another factor. China has one-fifth of the world’s population but consumes one-third of its cigarettes, and most of the daily smokers are men.

A．Type 2 is far more common, accounting for more than 90% of cases worldwide.

B．However, urban residents are becoming more willing to exercise, with gyms and yoga classes on the rise.

C．China has an estimated 116 million diabetics, by far the highest number of any country.

D．About 11% of Chinese adults now have the condition, nearly the proportion in America and twice the level in Britain.

E．The other type, though more commonly diagnosed, is not relatively dangerous.

F．City inhabitants tend to be less physically active than people in rural areas.

24、Kindergarten represents a crucial environment in which children develop school-related skills and patterns of engagement. They form the basis for the development of later competence which is important for academic success. As for later academic skills, kindergarten achievements have been found to have great predictive value.

Given the long-lasting effects that kindergarten experiences have on later schooling, it is important to understand the factors associated with children's learning and motivation during this time. The quality of teacher-student interaction has been found to be important in terms of many different academic and socio-emotional outcomes. However, much of the previous work in the field has focused on children in later grades in elementary school and has been conducted in the United States. Fewer studies have been conducted in other educational environments and in kindergarten specifically.

Some researchers investigated bidirectional links between the quality of teacher-child relationships and children’s interest and pre-academic skills in literacy and math in Finland. Participants were 461 Finnish kindergarteners (6-year-olds) and 48 teachers.

The results indicated that teacher-perceived(教师感知的)conflicts predicted children’s lower pre-academic skills in both literacy and math. It is possible that when children experience conflicts with teachers, the negative emotions attached to these conflicts are harmful to children’s engagement in learning and curtail their interest in academic tasks. It’s also possible that children experiencing conflicts are missing out on time for learning literacy and math, either because they become separated from instructional activities or because teachers have to spend more instructional time on behavioral management.

The findings highlight the importance of kindergarten teachers being aware of how their relationships with children can influence children’s later schooling. Therefore, it would be important to develop pre-service and in-service programs and interventions to help teachers. Teacher education programs may also benefit teachers not only in academic content and peda-gogical (教育学的)practices but also in strategies used to build supportive relationships with children.

【1】What do we learn about kindergarten achievements?

A．They’re closely related to kids’ personalities.

B．They greatly affect kids’ later academic skills.

C．They largely depend on the teachers' competence.

D．They’re mainly about kids’ problem-solving abilities.

A．has drawn little attention from researchers

B．has been considered very important by teachers

C．has resulted from specific educational environments

D．has formed the basis of many good socio-emotional outcomes

【3】What does the underlined word “curtail” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Develop.

B．Maintain.

C．Reduce.

D．Assess.

【4】What’s the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph?

A．To promote the educational programs among kindergarten teachers.

B．To explain the benefits of carrying out pedagogical practices.

C．To call on kids to build up good relationships with teachers.

D．To highlight the importance of kindergarten teachers.

【5】What does the text mainly talk about?

A．The significance of developing kids' school-related skills.

B．The necessity of improving teachers' academic competence.

C．The ways of reducing teacher-student conflicts in kindergarten.

D．The influence of teacher-student interaction in kindergarten on kids.
