5.The pursuit of happiness can be a lifelong search for some-but researchers believe they may have found a key factor in feeling a greater overall sense of well-being.
Nottingham Trent University researchers found that the more an individual identified with a particular group,such as family,in their local community or through a hobby,the happier they were with their life.
"Our findings suggest that thinking more about one's group life could have significant benefits for an overall sense of well-being,"said Dr.Juliet Wakefield,a psychologist at Nottingham Trent University.
"We tend to identify with groups that share our values,interests and life priorities,as well as those that support us in times of crisis,and we can see how this would be linked to happiness.Our work taps into (發(fā)掘) knowledge that is deep within all of us,but we often forget due to the fast-paced and achievement-focused nature of modern life-to be your best self,you are likely to require the support of others."
They studied how 4,000 participants felt connected to certain groups,and then measured the influence this had upon their levels of happiness.It's important to note that identifying with a group isn't the same as membership,though.You can be a member of a group with which you feel no connection at all.It's that subjective sense of belonging that's crucial for happiness.
Health care professionals should encourage people to join groups that they are interested in,or which promote their values and ideals,as well as advising people to maintain association with groups they already belong to.Simple social interventions (干預(yù)) such as this could in turn help to reduce care expense and prevent future ill health.

C.People who feel a strong sense of belonging to a group.
D.People who gain membership of many social groups.

A.They live a busy and stressful life.
B.They need others'help for self-improvement.
C.Happiness is of the same importance as work.
D.They should connect with like-minded people.

17.Chen Yifan,the student from a local senior high school,hit a BMW car parking along the street when he was passing by on a bicycle on February 4,leaving the rearview mirror broken and several scratches over the body of the car.
Chen left a letter of apology to the car owner,together with an envelope of 311 yuan he had earned from part-time jobs during the winter holiday.He put them at the inside of a door handle.
The car owner surnamed Xue found the letter and cash the next day and got so touched by Chen's honesty.With the help of local police Xue located the student on February 10 in the hope of returning the money.He told the police that he also wants to fund Chen's education if the family cannot afford it.
On February 11,Chen's mother,after knowing what her son had done,voluntarily contacted Xue trying to compensate for the repair of 13,000 yuan.But Xue turned her down firmly.

Chen Yifan and his mom decided to pay all they could afford for compensation after Chen accidentally bumped into a parked BMW.Moved by his deed,the car owner declined and offered to sponsor Chen's education.
Chen has really set a good example to our fellow Chinese students.Though he could have left the scene unpunished,he decided to shoulder the cost of repairs.Meanwhile,that car driver Xue didn't pale in comparison with the boy.Contrary to the common reaction when their cars get scratched,Xue displayed a high degree of tolerance and compassion,which contribute to the harmony of the story.
As far as I am concerned,such harmonious relationship between them shows great advances in social morality.Despite the difference in wealth,the inferior should always put honesty in the first place,and those who enjoy a better life should show more empathy with the inferior..

14.Breathe,wave and smile.Along with more than 300other seniors,I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10.The audience burst into deafening cheers.The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.
It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage.And indeed,every single senior that day was a star of the moment.Each deserved it.The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment-the commencement (graduation ceremony).
Seated,I waited anxiously for the opening address.As a foreign exchange student,I was not able to receive a diploma.However,I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things.Like the other graduates,I was dressed in marron cap and gown.
Our principal,Mr.Glover,delivered a short,warm greeting.The US national anthem followed and then,hands on chests,a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(美國的愛國誓言).
Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches.The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion.It was as the class motto says,"Life brings us tears,smiles and memories.The tears dry; the smiles fade; but the memories last forever."
Then came the core (the most important part) of the commencement.Hundreds of names were announced.Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal.From the different cheers each graduate got,we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.
To be honest,the presentation of diplomas got boring.A girl sitting next to me even started yawning.But it wasn't boring for those receiving the diploma:they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.
A new page in the book of that person's life had turned.They were glimpsing their futures:futures of challenge,hardship,perhaps loneliness too,which would take all of their courage.

32.What's the article mainly about?A
A.An American high school's graduation ceremony.
B.The opening ceremony of a sports meeting.
C.A presentation of college diplomas.
D.A US college's farewell party.
33.Which of the following statements about the author is FALSE?C
A.She was one of the graduates.
B.She was a foreign exchange student.
C.She was excited to receive her diploma.
D.She felt it great to be at the ceremony.
34.The right order of the following events isD.
a.Diplomas were presented to graduates.
b.Students gave farewell speeches.
c.The US national anthem was played.
d.The principal gave a short,warm speech.
e.Seniors went into the stadium.
A.b,c,a,d,e          B.c,d,b,e,a            C.d,b,e,a,c         D.e,d,c,b,a
35.From the text,we can conclude thatC.
A.a(chǎn) diploma ensures a good job
B.a(chǎn) diploma guarantees a bright future
C.the commencement symbolizes the beginning of a new stage in life
D.everyone felt excited at the presentation of the diploma.
