It is generally believed that money can’t buy happiness. However, that may not be always true. According to a recent article, in the last few years, new research has given us a far deeper understanding of the relationship between what we earn and how we feel. Broadly speaking, people with higher incomes are happier than those who struggle to get by. But it also shows you need to spend wisely if you expect those bank notes to put a smile on your face. 【1】

1. Buy experiences, not material goods.

In a recently published study, Professor Ryan at San Francisco State University in the US, found that when people don’t have much money to spare, they tend to stick to material goods. 【2】 But they actually provide both more happiness and more lasting value.

2. 【3】

No matter how much money you spend on something and how special that product is, you will get used to having it over time and lose interest in it. With the same money you spend on one big object, you can buy many little things. Buying small things means you can get frequent small pleasures.

3. Be sure to buy time.

【4】 For example, that big house in the suburbs may seem like a good idea, but a 2014 study by researchers from University of Zurich in Switzerland found that people with longer time on the way reported lower life satisfaction, all other things being equal.

4. Try giving it away.

Elizabeth Dunn, professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada, found that in nations as diverse as Canada, South Africa and Uganda, giving away money consistently made people happier. 【5】 .

A. Be sure to buy what you like.

B. Here are some ways to better spend your money.

C. Buy lots of little things, rather than one big thing.

D. There are a lot of reasons someone might buy something.

E. People think experiences only provide temporary happiness.

F. This was even true when people giving away were relatively poor.

G. Consider how the things you buy will affect how you spend your time.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】E

【3】C

【4】G

【5】F

試題分析: 人們一般認(rèn)為錢不能買到快樂，然而最近的研究表明收入和快樂是有關(guān)系的。本文介紹如果想讓你的收入為快樂服務(wù)，那么需要一些技巧，文章給了細(xì)致的分析。

【1】B 考查對(duì)上下文語(yǔ)境的理解。根據(jù)下文給了四條理智花錢的建議，第一段最后需要一個(gè)承上啟下的句子，故選B（這里是幾條合理花錢的建議）。

【2】E考查對(duì)上下文語(yǔ)境的理解�？蘸缶湟猓旱鞘聦�(shí)上它們給我們帶來的是更多的快樂和更持久的價(jià)值。故這里選E（人們認(rèn)為經(jīng)歷只能帶來短暫的快樂）。

【3】C 考查對(duì)上下文語(yǔ)境的理解。根據(jù)空后一段的描述：用同樣的花在一個(gè)大物件上的錢，你可以買很多小東西，而這些小物件就意味著你可以得到更頻繁的小快樂，選項(xiàng)C（買很多的小物件，而不要買一個(gè)大物件。）的內(nèi)容可以概括本段，故選C。

【4】G考查對(duì)上下文語(yǔ)境的理解。 空后的意思是在郊區(qū)買個(gè)房子看起來很好，但是上班途中花費(fèi)更多的時(shí)間會(huì)讓你不快樂，由此推斷G選項(xiàng)（考慮你買的東西怎樣影響你如何花時(shí)間）內(nèi)容符合語(yǔ)境，選G。

【5】F考查對(duì)上下文語(yǔ)境的理解�？涨皟�(nèi)容告訴我們不斷的捐贈(zèng)會(huì)讓我們更快樂，故答案F（這甚至更是如此當(dāng)捐贈(zèng)的人相對(duì)貧窮時(shí)。）符合句意。

Your smart phone may have hurt you before you realize it. Don’t be addicted to it. Put your phone away, OK?

Cyber(網(wǎng)絡(luò)) Sickness

Also called “digital motion sickness”, symptoms that range from headaches to woozy(頭昏眼花的) feelings can occur when you quickly scroll on your smart phone or watch action-packed video on your screen.【1】Your sense of balance is different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs. When those inputs don’t agree, that’s when you feel dizziness and sickness.

Text Claw

It is the unofficial term for soreness and muscle contraction(收縮) felt in the fingers, wrist and forearm after heavy smart phone use. 【2】So if you’re always on your phone, it makes sense to feel discomfort in your hands and forearms.

Eye Strain(疲勞)

Do you stare at a screen for hours on end? If you’re reading this, you very well might. 【3】Staring at your digital devices for a long time can lead to dry eyes, headaches and tiredness, which can decrease your productivity. Experts suggest taking screen breaks every 20 minutes.

Text Neck

Similar to the claw, text neck—discomfort in the neck and spine—happens when you spend a long time looking down at your smart phone. 【4】Being mindful of how far your neck bends when you’re on your phone—and bending it back to an upright position—can help reduce the risk of text neck.

Pedestrian Safety

Pedestrian deaths are on the rise because too many smart phone users engage in distracted walking. While focused on the cyber world, many of us can lose reality of the physical one. Elemental pedestrian safety knowledge is compromised by technology, and the risks are scary. 【5】

A. We should taking breaks for a walk.

B. The sensation results from a mismatch between sensory inputs.

C. Remember that pedestrian(行人) safety is more important than smart phone.

D. The habit may lead to people requiring medical spine care at a younger age.

E. To avoid injury or worse, put your phone away until you’ve reached a safe spot.

F. Any specific motor activity can cause pain in the tendons(筋) and muscles when donerepeatedly.

G. Any activity that requires active use of your eyes—driving and reading included—can causeeye tiredness.

【題目】Football is, I believe, the most popular game in England: one has only to go to the important matches to see this. Rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting for one side or the other. To a stranger, one of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He will tell you who he expects will win such a match, and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times his age.

Most schools in England take football seriously-much more seriously than nearly all European schools, where lessons are all very important and games are left for the children themselves. In England it is believed that education is not only a matter filling a boy’s mind with facts in the classroom: education also means the training of character; and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially team games; where a boy or girl has to learn to work with others for his or her team, instead of working for oneself alone. The school therefore plans games and matches for its students. Football is a good team game. It is good both for the body and the mind. That’s why it is every school’s game in England.

【1】 In passage 1, by “this” the author means ________.

A. people often go to football games.

B. people, rich and poor, young and old, play football

C. football is the most popular game in England

D. people usually shout at each other in a football match

【2】In England school boys seem _________ about football games.

A. not to know much B. to know a great deal

C. know little D. know nothing

【3】 In England, a boy’s opinion of a match is often ________.

A. three or four times better than that of adults

B. worse than that of adults

C. as good as that of adults

D. worth considering three or four times than adults

【4】 In England, education means_______.

A. filling a boy’s mind with stories

B. more than the teaching of knowledge

C. the teaching of knowledge only

D. training character by means of football games

【題目】Animals are not always animals. Some of them will try to cheat or cow some others in the way the human beings often do. Here is a fairy tale from Aesop for you to enjoy.

An eagle（鷹）made her nest at the top of a high tree while a cat, having found a convenient hole, moved into the middle of the trunk, and at the same time a wild pig, with her young took shelter in a hollow at its foot. The cat then decided to make all serve her in her wise way.

To carry out her design, she climbed to the nest of the eagle, saying, "Destruction is preparing for you and for me too, unfortunately. The wild pig, whom you see daily digging up the earth, wishes to uproot the tree, so she may on its fall seize our families as food for her young."

Having thus frightened the eagle out of her senses, she crept down to the cave of the pig, saying, "Your children are in great danger, for as soon as you go out to find food, the eagle is prepared to jump upon one of your little pigs."

Having filled these fears into the pig, she went and pretended to hide herself in the hollow of the tree. When night came she went out silently and obtained food for herself and her children, but pretending to be afraid, she kept a lookout all through the day. Meanwhile, the eagle, full of fear of the pig, sat still on the branches, and the pig, terrified by the eagle, did not dare to go out from her cave.

A. By running here and there.

B. By cheating both the eagle and the pig.

C. By waiting and catching the chance.

Top reasons to become a teacher

Teaching is a special calling. It is not a job well-suited to everyone. In fact, many new teachers leave within the first 3-5 years of teaching. However, there are many rewards that come with this career.

Student successes

【1】 Seeing a student who didn’t understand a concept and then learned it through your help can be very rewarding. And when you reach that student that others have written off as being unteachable, this can truly be worth all the headaches that come with the job.

Keep learning

【2】 I remember my first year teaching history. I thought I knew what I was doing. However, the students’ questions just made me dig deeper and learn more.

Daily humor

Sometimes it will be silly jokes you make up as you teach that might get a laugh from your students. 【3】 And sometimes students will come out with the funniest statements without realizing what they’ve said.

【4】

As a teacher, you will have a couple of months off in the summer. Further, you typically get a few weeks off during the Spring Festival, which can be a huge benefit and provide much-needed rest time.

Job security

【5】 If you are willing to work hard in any type of environment, you’ll find that you can always get a teaching job.

A. Stay younger

B. School holidays

C. The world will always need teachers.

D. This is often what drives teachers to continue.

E. Sometimes it will be jokes that kids share withspan> you.

F. You will never learn a topic better than when you start teaching it.

G. During the holidays, teachers can often choose to travel around and just relax themselves.

【題目】My father often talks about his definition of success. He tells us that it isn’t measured in money or material things, but in love and joy. While my brothers and I were all raised together under the same roof, I wonder how different we can be sometimes. Four kids, four different life paths, personalities and ambitions.

We must follow a different path to let our light shine, and that’s what makes us so unpredictable and unique. In today’s world, expecting every child’s education to be the same, progress at the same rate and be measured against the narrow standards of performances is not just outdated, it’s also harmful to young people.

I experienced this disconnect(脫節(jié)) firsthand after graduating from college. I had many opportunities in front of me, but they didn’t test my limits and my creativity to pursue my passions. At first, I took a job at a big consulting firm. However, I couldn’t shake my passion for music. I had followed the somewhat predictable path of a college graduate, but I was crazy about how to become an artist. Now I am a nine-time Grammy Awards winner who has sold multiple Top 10 Albums.

Imagine what it would look like if our schools were set up to help people discover and pursue a personal passion instead of a predictable path? The good news is that a number of individuals and organizations are finding new ways to innovate in education. The goal is to create more student-centered environments that help young people not just do better in school but also discover what they love.

We can’t live lives of joy if we can’t discover what we love doing with our lives. So let each person discover the power and uniqueness of his or her own passion.

【1】What does the writer’s father think success should be measured in?

A. Pleasure. B. Ability. C. Wealth. D. Fame.

【2】We can infer that the writer _________________________.

A. is devoted to reforming the education system

B. pursued his passions once he left college

C. realized his dream before his graduation

D. finally became an outstanding singer

【3】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Where there is a will, there is a way.

B. Let every child’s light shine.

C. All that glitters is not gold.

D. Let bygones be bygones.
