2.Positive Thinking Can Transform Your Health
Our emotional(情感)world has a remarkable power to determine not only our mental health,but also our physical well-being.And a growing body of research in psychology,medicine and public health is displaying the health benefit of positive emotions and their effect on physical health.(36)C.
1.Optimism may protect the heart.
According to a 2012review of literature,a number of studies have shown that people with optimistic personalities are at a reduced risk of the heart attack.(37)A,such as improved immune system function and increased life span.
2.Compassion and care for others can improve nerve function.
Compassion,a loving concern for the well-being of others,can make us feel positive and may improve our physical health.
Positive psychologist Barbara has conducted research on the effects of loving kindness meditation(沉思),a traditional religious practice that involves meditating on love and extending compassion to oneself and others.(38)D,which extends from the brain to the heart,helping to regulate emotions as well as bodily systems
3.(39)F.
Like optimism,an"attitude of gratitude",appreciation and feeling of thankfulness for the blessings one has in life,carries significant mental and physical health benefits.Gratefulness,like optimism,has been linked with improved immune health,and has also been shown to improve sleep quality.
4.Self-compassion improves health-related behaviors.
(40)E.A 2013study found that self-compassionate people sought medical attention sooner than people who were lacking in self-compassion.Self-compassionate people also tended to be less depressed.

A.Optimism's benefits for physical health also extend beyond heart health
B.There are many kinds of methods to make us feel positive
C.Here are four positive emotions to improve physical health and prevent disease
D.Researchers find the practice can have a positive impact on the nerve
E.People who cultivate kindness towards themselves are also kinder to their bodies
F.Gratitude may also benefit heart health and immune system function
G.Those who are kind to others are easier to feel relaxed.

20.Happy people work differently.They're more productive,more creative,and willing to take greater risks.And new research suggests that(51)Cmight influence how firms work,too.
Companies located in places with happier people invest more,according to a recent research paper.(52)B,firms in happy places spend more on R&D,which stands for research and development.That's because happiness is linked to the kind of longer-term thinking(53)Dfor making investments for the future.
The researchers wanted to know if the optimism (乐观) and hobbies for risk-taking that come with happiness would(54)Dthe way companies invested.So they compared U.S.cities'average happiness(55)Bby Gallup polling (民意调查) with the investment activity of publicly traded firms in those areas.
(56)Aenough,firms'investment and R&D intensity were related with the happiness of the area in which they were headquartered.But is it really happiness that's linked to investment,or could something else about happier cities(57)Awhy firms there spend more on R&D?To find out,the researchers controlled for various (58)Bthat might make firms more likely to invest-like size,industry,and sales-and for indicators that a place was desirable to live in,like(59)Cin wages or population.The link between happiness and investment generally held even after accounting for these things.
The(60)Abetween happiness and investment was particularly strong for younger firms,which the authors regard as"less codified (法典化的) decision-making process"and the possible presence of"younger and less(61)Dmanagers who are more likely to be influenced by emotions."The relationship was also stronger in places where happiness was spread more(62)D.Firms seem to invest more in places where most people are relatively happy,rather than in places with happiness inequality,or large(63)Cin the distribution of well-being.
While this doesn't prove that happiness causes firms to invest more or to take a longer-term view,the authors believe it at least hints at that possibility.It's not hard to imagine that local culture and emotions would help(64)Ahow executives think about the future.Just ask anyone who's spent time in Silicon Valley."It surely seems reasonable that happy people would be more forward-thinking and creative and(65)BR&D more than the average,"said one researcher.

7.Bongos was a happy,artistic girl. She had one big ambition to play the drums in a band.But one big obstacle lay in her way.To be good enough to play in a band,Brenda had to practice a lot,but she lived next-door to a lot of old people.Many of them are sick.She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves.So,she had tried playing in the strangest places:a basement,a kitchen,and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.
One day,while watching a science documentary on TV,she heard that sound cannot travel in space,because there's no air.At that moment,Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.
With the help of a lot of time,books and work,Brenda built a space bubble.This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit(成套设备) and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made,entered the bubble,turned on the machine,and played those drums like a wild child.
It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous.Many people came to see her play in her space bubble.Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and stated giving concerts.Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey.Finally,Brenda was a real musical astronaut,and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.
Years later,when asked how she had achieved all this,she thought for a moment,and said:"If those old people next-door hadn't mattered so much to me,I wouldn't have found a solution,and none of this would have ever happened."

56.Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?B
A.Because she didn't want others to hear her play.
B.Because she didn't mean to disturb others.
C.Because she didn't have her own room.
D.Because she didn't like her neighbors.
57.Brenda started to give concertsA.
A.after she practiced in her space bubble
B.when she became part of the unique space journey
C.after she became a real musical astronaut
D.when people came to see her in the space bubble
58.Brenda became famous becauseC.
A.she was good at music and scienceB.she became a real musical astronaut
C.she invented a special way of practiceD.she played well and had a talent

11.Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins,minerals,and high-quality protein,eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol(胆固醇),one of the major causes of heart disease.One egg yolk,in fact,contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit.
    This knowledge has caused egg sales to drop in recent years,which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs.One alternative is to eat substitute eggs.These egg substitutes are not real eggs,but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked.They have the advantage of having lower cholesterol rates,and they can be scrambled or used in baking.One disadvantage,however,is that they are not good for frying,poaching,or boiling.A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of eggs,sometimes called"designer''eggs.These eggs are  produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil,flax,and rice bran.In spite of their diets,however,these hens produce eggs that contain  the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs.Yet,producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans.
    Egg producers claim that their product has been described unfairly.They use scientific studies to back up their claim.And  in tact  studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results.It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs.Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol from food than other people.In fact,there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood cholesterol.Consequently,while it still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs,even designer eggs,it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level.
46.According to this passage,which of the following is a cause of heart disease?B
A.High-quality protein   
B.Cholesterol
C.Canola oil            
D.Minerals
47.The main cause of the recent drop in egg sales isD.
A.the production of substitute eggs and designer eggs
B.the changes in hen's diet
C.the increasing price
D.People's knowledge of the high level of blood cholesterol in eggs
48.Which is the best way to cook substitute eggs?B
A.Boiling.    B.Baking.    C.Frying.D.Poaching.
49.What's the main purpose of this passage?C
A.To advertise for substitute eggs.
B.To warn people of the danger of heart disease by eating eggs.
C.To inform people of the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
D.To tell people that fat intake is more dangerous than egg intake.
50.Which of the following statements is NOT true?C
A.It has been proved that some dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood cholesterol.
B.Some people are insensitive to cholesterol from food.
C.It is the type of egg that determines the level of cholesterol in one's body.
D.Controlling one's intake of eggs and dietary fat is likely to reduce blood cholesterol.
