【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Researchers have shown that your talent for happiness is, to a large degree, determined by your genes(基因). We can do this by overcoming negative emotions and developing positive emotions.
Strategy(策略)1:
The first step is to make a choice to be happy. In Seeking Happiness, Bertrand Russell said, “Happiness must be an achievement rather than a gift of the gods, and in this achievement, effort must play a great part.”
Once you've decided to be happier, you can choose strategies for achieving happiness.
Strategy 2: Develop gratitude(感激).
In Authentic Happiness, psychologist Martin Seligman encourages readers to perform a daily “gratitude exercise”.
Strategy 3: Remember, money can't buy happiness.
Research shows: Yes, “we always think that some things are wrong because they cannot bring us happiness.” writes Daniel Gilbert in Stumbling on Happiness.
Strategy 4: Take part in meaningful activities.
“People are seldom happier,” says Jackson, “than when they’re doing meaningful activities.”
Yet, he has found that the most common leisure(休闲)activity — watching TV — produces some of the lowest levels of happiness. Active leisure that helps a person grow does not come easily, he writes in Finding Flow.
A. Choose to be happy.
B. Seek happiness.
C. However, psychologists believe we can pursue happiness.
D. This drives bitterness from our heart, and promotes happiness.
E. Happiness is decided by many things.
F. To get more out of life, we need to put more into it.
G. More money doesn't often bring more happiness.

【答案】C;A;D;G;F
【解析】虽然幸福与生俱来,但是我们还是可以做一些事情来得到幸福。如:①选择幸福;②学会感恩;③要知道,钱买不来幸福;④要参加有意义的活动。
①C考查对上下文的理解。空前的意思是:人的幸福感是由人的基因决定的,空后的意思是:我们可 以通过克服消极情感发展积极情感来获得幸福感。所以这里的意思是:我们可以追求幸福。故选C与上下文一致。
②A考查对段落的理解。本段的第一句话的意思是:第一步要选择快乐,与A选项的意思一致,故选A。
③D考查对上下文的理解。本段的意思是是:要学会感恩,空前的意思是:心理学家鼓励人们每天要做感恩练习,故选D(这样就会把心里的苦赶出去,而形成幸福感。)符合上下文。
④G考查对上下文的理解。本段的意思是:金钱买不了幸福,故选G(再多的钱也买不了更多的幸福,)与上下文符合。
⑤F考查对上下文的理解。本段的意思是:要参加积极的活动,空后的意思是:帮助人成长的休闲活动不会很容易获得,故选F(要从生活中获得更多,就需要投入更多。)符合上下文。

My parents moved from Mexico to South Texas in the early 90s with the hope for a brighter future for their family of nine---my parents, four boys and three girls. My parents have always wanted the best for us and they have done everything possible to encourage us to get a university degree. Never did they think that by pushing us that direction, it also meant encouraging us to move away and be distant from each other.
Initially(起初), getting accustomed to the American culture and lifestyle was very difficult for my parents. They come from a culture where kids grow up together, go to school together and most of the time live in the same neighborhood. From our point, American family values were a bit different. Typically in the US, when you turn 18, you are expected to graduate from high school, move out, find a university, possibly find a partner, get married and start a life together. Most of these decisions take you away from home; usually you have to follow opportunity and wherever that will take you.
This is my family's current situation. I graduated from Bethel College in Indiana in 2010, and in order to fulfill my financial responsibilities of paying off student loans, I moved to Washington State for my job with Experience Mission. Ideally my parents wanted me to come home to South Texas, but that wasn't where my opportunity took me.
Currently, my sister Jennifer lives in Waco, Texas, about eight hours from my parents. My two younger brothers also decided to go to college at Bethel and are away from my parents. More than likely, when they graduate, they will probably not move back home to South Texas.
My parent never imagined that their dream for a better future would separate our family this way.Facebook has played a crucial(决定性的) role in the way we communicate while living in different places. Since we all use Facebook, we have found a place to connect and feel as if we were there together with each other.
(1)We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.
A.the writer's family are immigrants to America
B.the writer' family came to America for a better future
C.the writer' parents' didn't want their children to get a university degree
D.the writer' parents pushed their children away from each other
(2)The writer's parents found it hard to be used to American life because ________.
A.they were strangers in America
B.they suffered from a culture shock
C.the local people disl iked their family
D.different countries have different lives
(3)The writer didn't return to work in South Texas after graduation because ________.
A.he owed a lot of money while studying at college
B.he didn't graduate from university
C.he found his opportunity in Washington State
D.his father couldn't find him a job in South Texas
(4)What will probably be talked about in the paragraph after the last?
A.The writer's parents' life in Texas.
B.How the parents learn to use Facebook.
C.What the writer's brothers' and sisters' lives are like.
D.How the writer's family communicate through Facebook.

【题目】In agrarian(农业的), pre-industrial Europe, youd want to wake up early, start working with the sunrise, have a break to have the largest meal, and then youd go back to work,says Ken Albala, a professor of history at the University of the Pacific. Later, at 5 or 6, youd have a smaller supper.

This comfortable cycle, in which the rhythms of the day helped shape the rhythms of the meals, gave rise to the custom of the large midday meal, eaten with the extended family. Meals are the foundation of the family,says Carole Couniban, a professor at Millersville University in Pennsylvania, so there was a very important interconnection between eating together and strengthening family ties.”

Since industrialization, maintaining such a slow cultural metabolism has been much harder, with the long midday meal shrinking to whatever could be stuffed into a lunch bucket or bought at a food stand. Certainly, there were benefits. Modern techniques for producing and shipping food led to greater variety and quantity, including a tremendous increase in the amount of animal protein and dairy products available, making us more energetic than our ancestors.

Yet plenty has been lost too, even in cultures that still live to eat. Take Italy. Its no secret that the Mediterranean diet is healthy, but it was also a joy to prepare and eat. Italians, says Counihan, traditionally began the day with a small meal. The big meal came at around 1 p.m. In between the midday meal and a late, smaller dinner came a small snack. Today, when time zones have less and less meaning, there is little tolerance for offices closing for lunch, and worsening traffic in cities means workers cant make it home and back fast enough anyway. So the formerly small supper after sundown becomes the big meal of the day, the only one at which the family has a chance to get together. The evening meal carries the full burden that used to be spread over two meals,” says Counihan.

1What does Professor Carole Counihan say about pre-industrial European families eating meals together

A. It was helpful to maintaining a nations tradition.

B. It brought family members closer to each other.

C. It was characteristic of the agrarian culture.

D. It enabled families to save a lot of money.

2What does cultural metabolism”(Line 1, Para. 3) refer to

A. Evolutionary adaptation. B. Changes in lifestyle.

C. Social progress. D. Pace of life.

3What does the author think of the food people eat today?

A. Its quality is usually guaranteed.

B. It is varied, abundant and nutritious.

C. It is more costly than what our ancestors ate.

D. Its production depends too much on technology.

4What does the author say about Italians of the old days?

A. They enjoyed cooking as well as eating.

B. They ate a big dinner late in the evening.

C. They ate three meals regularly every day.

D. They were expert at cooking meals.

Taxpayers(纳税人) in America pay less in income tax than many Europeans, according to a Pew Research Center report. Belgium has the highest income tax rate, at nearly 56 percent of income, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD. Taxpayers in the U.S. pay less than 36 percent of their incomes into the national treasury. Taxes pay for services provided by the government. The U.S. ranks 25 of the 34 developed countries polled in the report.
An unmarried person with no children was used as an example in the report. In America, an unmarried person, with no children, making the average wage of $50, 000 in 2014 paid 24.8 percent of their income in federal (联邦的) income tax and payroll taxes (工资税). A similar person living in Belgium would pay 42.3 percent of their income. The average among the 39 countries in the poll was 27.3 percent income tax.
