4.When I was young,I had an old neighbor named Dr.Gibbs.He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known.He never shouted at us for playing in his yard.I remembered him as a neighbor who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood.When Dr.Gibbs was happy,he was planting trees.And his life's goal was to make it a forest.
Dr.Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting.He talked about trees that weren't watered would grow deep roots in search of water.So he never watered his trees.He planted an oak (橡樹) and,instead of watering it every morning,he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper.I asked him why he did that,and he said it was to get the tree's attention.
Dr.Gibbs died a couple of years.Every now and then,I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five years ago.They're very strong now.
I planted a couple of trees a few years later.I watered them regularly and took good care of them.Whenever a cold wind blows,they shake their leaves and branches.
The funny thing about those trees of Dr.Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could.
21.What was Dr.Gibbs'life goal?B′
A.To save more lives.
B.To build a forest.
C.To make a lot of money.
D.To study plants.

A.he often talked to the trees   
B.he kicked the trees heavily
C.he never watered the trees    
D.he buried the leaves around the roots
23.What does the writer mainly want to tell us?B

5.Five Ways to Control Your Anxiety
How can you find some enjoyment and keep your anxiety in control?Try the following five steps for a less anxious you.
Stop comparing yourself to others.When you compare your life to others',you are giving up your power.People have success or failures at different points in their lives.You might think others have better lives,but you don't have the full story.Next time you begin to compare yourself to someone else,tell yourself this,"I only compare me to me."(66)G
Be grateful.Gratitude is the secret to a happier,less anxious you.(67)F When you practice gratitude,you start training your brain to pay attention to all the wonderful things about your life and doing so improves your mood little by little.
Forget perfect.Going after perfection sets you up to feel defeated.Accept that you will have days that are far from perfect and learn to laugh at the funny things that go wrong at the wrong time.(68)A
Move your body.(69)C I'm sure you'll feel better--especially if you exercise regularly.Doing exercise will give you a sense of achievement that you can use to deal with other difficulties in your life.
Connection with other people.If you struggle with anxiety,you may not feel like putting yourself into social situations,but isolating(使孤立)yourself socially is the worst thing you can do.Connecting with others can help you realize everyone has struggles and that people are there for you.(70)D Connection can help you improve your mood.
A.Life is so much more enjoyable when you expect less of it.
B.Make sure you aren't going around trying to please everyone.
C.It is scientifically proved that exercise can improve your mood.
D.See a friend,call a family member or just smile at strangers passing by.
E.Pen and paper can provide you with a special place to express your feelings.
F.When you take time to enjoy all the good things,you can't help but feel good.
G.Only by competing with yourself to be a better you can you get where you want to be.

9.You know the saying"You're as young as you feel."Well,there may be some truth to that,according to researchers at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Ellen Langer,a Harvard psychologist who studies how the mind influences the body,and colleagues reviewed the scientific literature for evidence that a person's perception of their age might influence their health.They published their results in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science.
In one study that Langer led,47 women had their hair done.The women who thought their new hairdos made them look younger did look younger to objective observers,who were shown before-and-after pictures.The women who thought they looked younger also showed a drop in blood pressure.Another study involving 4,421 men found that those who became bald (禿頂)at a relatively young age were more likely to get cancer and heart disease than men who did not.Similarly,another study involving 2,017 men found that those who lost their hair early were more likely to develop heart disease."We believe that the feelings associated with being older than one's real age account for some of these health outcomes,"the researchers wrote.
The researchers also described studies that found that women who had children later in life were more likely to be healthier and live longer than those who had children early,which they attributed to the fact that these mothers tend to spend more time with younger women.Similarly,people who marry younger partners tend to live longer than those who marry older partners,according to other studies.
Taken together,the research"supports the general mind-body hypothesis (假說)that when a younger mind is prepared,a younger body can accompany it."While the mechanism (機(jī)制)remains unclear,the researchers figured that suggestions associated with aging can"make one unconsciously or consciously aware of old age and set in motion a series of physiological processes that can have real effects on short-term and long-term health."

46.The underlined word"perception"in Paragraph 2 meansA.
A.view           
B.a(chǎn)ppearance              
C.influence               
D.creation
47.Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 3?C
A.Blood pressure is highly related to hairdos.
B.Getting cancer or heart disease is the cause of hair losing.
C.Feeling older than real age may be tied to health problems.
D.The women who love hairdos look younger than those who don't.
48.It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 thatD.
A.a(chǎn) younger mother is more likely to live longer
B.the younger one of a couple lives much longer
C.often  staying with younger people can benefit peopled health
D.people who want to live longer need to marry young
41.The passage mainly tells us thatD.
A.Getting bald too early is not good for health
B.Women had better give birth later in their life
C.Feeling younger to a couple is very important to their health
D.People's feeling of their age may have an effect on their own health
