20.We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married,have a baby…Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are.After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with.We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.
We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse(配偶) gets his or her act together,when we get a nice car,and are able to go on a nice vacation and when we retire.The truth is,there's no better time than right now.If not now,when?Our life will always be filled with challenges.It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza.He said,"for a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin----real life.But there was always some obstacle in the way,something to be gotten through first,some unfinished business,time still to be served,a debt to be paid.Then life would begin.At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness.Happiness is the way.So treasure every moment that you have.
And remember that time waits for no one.So stop waiting until you finish school; until you go back to school; until you get married; until you get divorced; until you have kids; until you retire; until you get a new car or home; until spring; until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy…
Happiness is a journey,not a destination.So,work like you don't need money,love like you've never been hurt,and dance like no one's watching.
5.Why do we always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married,have a baby…?B
A.Because happy life is always in the future.
B.Because we don't realize treasuring every moment means happiness.
C.Because no one will be happy until he gets married.
D.Because only if we get to a destination,we can lead a happy life.
6.What does the writer want to tell us?A
A.Time and tide waits for no man,so treasure every moment.
B.Will is power,so do what you want to do.
C.A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed,so do not talk,just do it.
D.So said,so done.So do what you said.
7.According to the text,which of the following is correct?D
A.Life is bound to become better as we expect.
B.You should work because you really need money.
C.You shouldn't dance while others are watching you.
D.You should love as if you had not been hurt.

13.If you watched the 2016 Rio Olympic Games,you might have noticed that several athletes,including US swimmer Michael Phelps,had circular bruises on their bodies.These bruises were the results of"cupping therapy"(拔罐療法)a traditional Chinese medical practice that has been around for more than 2,000 years.Cupping therapy involves attaching circular cups to the skin using suction.(吸出)The suction is created either by heating the cup inside or by using a handheld pump.This suction pulls the skin upward into the cup.Sometimes it can leave dark red bruises,other times there is no mark at all.
Many athletes say that they have benefited from the therapy.Phelps used the therapy in the fall of 2014 and has used it about twice a week since,reported ABC News.Another US swimmer,Dana Vollmer,also believes that"it really helps with blood flow,and helps pull swelling out of different areas."
To figure out whether cupping has many physical effects,last year researchers from Germany carried out a test in which a sham treatment was provided.In the study,the same type of cups was used in the real treatment and the sham treatment.But in the sham treatment,the cups had a hole at the top so that they cou ldn't create the proper suction.
The tested patients,who suffered from a disorder that causes a lot of pain,were told that they would receive either a traditional cupping of"soft cupping".But they were not informed that the so-called"soft cupping"was a sham treatment.
It turned out that most patients correctly guessed which kind of cupping they had received.In both groups,patients also experienced about the same reductions in pain.The results suggest the effects of cupping therapy might come from factors that are not necessarily part of the treatment itself,probably resulting from people feeling that the treatment works,the researchers told the LiveScience Website.
The question of whether cupping therapy works still needs to be answered.But because the treatment is relatively safe and it could be helpful for some people,"The therapy can be used as a part of a comprehensive treatment program involving other exercises,nutritional choices and life-style interventions",Dr Brent Bauer,director of the US'Mayo Clinic Complementary and Integrative Medicine Program,told LiveScience.
 
28.Why is Michael Phelps mentioned in Paragraph 1?D
A.He is the greatest US swimmer.
B.He competed in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
C.He has no circular bruises on their bodies.
D.He finds cupping therapy helpful.
29.What's the meaning of the underlined word"sham"in Paragraph 3?B
A.painful
B.false
C.exciting
D.shameful
30.According to the German research,what's the effect of cupping therapy?C
A.It is totally useless.
B.It is satisfactory when it comes to the physical effects.
C.It may depend on patients'belief.
D.It just makes the pain worse.
31.According to the last paragraph,which statement is true?B
A.Cupping therapy is recommended for all people.
B.Cupping therapy can be used with other treatments.
C.Cupping therapy must be used under a doctor's guidance.
D.Cupping therapy is only effective when combined with lifestyle interventions.

8.A new study finds that our brains are wired to make music-color connections depending on how the music makes us feel.Mozart's"Flute Concerto No.1in G Major"is most often associated with bright yellow and orange,whereas his"Requiem in D Minor"is linked to bluish gray,the findings revealed.
US researchers from the University of California,Berkeley,enlisted nearly 100subjects for a study on music and color.With 37colors,the UC Berkeley study found that people tend to pair faster-paced music in a major key with lighter,more vivid,yellow colors,whereas slower-paced music in a minor key is more likely to be teamed up with darker,grayer,bluer colors.
"Surprisingly,we can predict with 95percent accuracy how happy or sad the colors people pick will be based on how happy or sad the music is that they are listening to,"said lead author and UC Berkeley vision scientist Stephen Palmer.
In three experiments,the subjects listened to 18classical music pieces that varied in pace (slow,medium,fast) and in major VS minor keys.In the first experiment,participants were asked to pick five of the 37colors that best matched the music to which they were listening.Separately,they rated each piece of music on a scale of happy to sad,strong to weak,lively to dull,and calm to angry.
Next,the research team plans to study particiapants in Turkey where traditional music employs a wider range of scales than just major and minor."We know that in Mexico and the US the responses are very similar,"Palmer said."But we don't yet know about China or Turkey."

8.What can we know about Mozart's"Flute Concerto No.1G Major"?A
A.It is fast in pace.
B It is slow in pace.
C.It makes us feel upset.
D It makes us feel optimistic.
9.What did the US researchers find from the result of the new study?D
A.There are colors that do not match any music.
B.People tend to connect happy colors to slow-paced music
C.There is a one-to-one connection between music and color.
D.People nearly do the same in picking colors for different music.
10.How did the researchers do the research?C
A.By making predictions.
B.By researching journals.
C.By conducting experiments.
D.By studying famous musicians.
11.According to the text,the research mainly deals withB
A.how colors or music influence our emotions
B.how emotions affect music-color connections
C.why we have different feelings towards music
D.why we have different feelings towards colors.

Treating the old well is a traditional virtue in China.For those who don't,it is necessary to read the letter written by a parent:
Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health,have patience andtry to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating,if I can not dress,please have patience and remember the hours I spent teaching it to you.If,when I speak to you,I repeat the same things thousand and one times,do not interrupt me,listen to me.When you were small,I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you got to sleep.When I do not want to have a shower,neither shame me nor scold me.Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented in order that you didn't want to bathe.When you see my knowing little about new technologies,give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄).I taught you how to do so many things:to eat food,to dress well,to confront life…When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation,let me have the necessary time to remember,and if I cannot do it,do not become nervous,as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me.
If ever I do not want to eat,do not force me.I know well when I need to an when not.When my tired legs do not allow me to walk,give me your hand,the same way I did when you gave your first step.And when someday I say to you that I do not want to live any more----that I want to rest forever,do not get angry.Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived.Some day you will discover that,despite my mistakes,I always wanted the best thing for you and I tried to prepare the way for you.Please be next to me,try to understand me and help me as I did it when you started living.I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
