【题目】On warm summer days with little or no wind, the air temperature in cities can be up to ten degrees higher than that of the surrounding countryside. This is a phenomenon commonly referred to as the “urban heat island” effect.

This phenomenon happens when pavement, buildings, and other infrastructure (基础设施) replace natural land cover. Large amounts of paved and dark colored surfaces—such as roofs, roads, and parking lots—absorb, rather than reflect, the sun’s heat, causing surface temperatures and overall ambient (周围的) air temperature to rise. Unlike soil, paved areas contribute to runoff, which means that as paved areas increase, the amount of water available for evaporation (蒸发) decreases. Moreover, urban areas have fewer trees and less natural vegetation which help to control the heat by providing shade and blocking solar radiation. The surfaces of leaves also provide water for evaporation which cools the air, further worsening the heat island effect.

In particular, during summer, more energy is required to cool the insides of building and for refrigeration, thereby creating additional heat output. This in turn leads to higher ambient air temperatures, which can also significantly increase the formation of urban smog in an area, degrading local air quality. Such a situation may directly affect public health with individuals more likely to suffer from heat exhaustion and the effects of asthma (哮喘).

【题目】These days, it seems that almost all of us are too seriousMy older daughter often says to me, “Daddy, you’ve got that serious look again” Even those of us who are committed to non-seriousness are probably too seriousPeople are frustrated and anxious about almost everything -- being five minutes late, witnessing someone look at us wrong or say the wrong thing, paying bills, waiting in line, overcooking a meal, making an honest mistake -- you name it, and we all lose perspective(理性判断) over it

The root of being anxious is our unwillingness to accept life as being different, in any way, from our expectationVery simply, we want things to be a certain way but they’re not a certain wayLife is simply as it isPerhaps Benjamin Franklin said it best: “Our limited perspective, our hopes and fears become our measure of life, and when circumstances don’t fit our ideas, they become our difficulties” We spend our lives wanting things, people, and events to be just as we want them to be -- and when they’re not, we fight and we suffer

The first step in recovering from over-seriousness is to admit that you have a problemYou have to want to change, to become more easygoingYou have to see that your own anxiety is largely of your own creation -- it’s made up of the way you have set up your life and the way you react to it

The next step is to understand the link between your expectations and your frustration levelWhenever you expect something to be a certain way and it isn’t, you’re upset and you sufferOn the other hand, when you let go of your expectations, when you accept life as it is, you’re free

A good exercise is to try to approach a single day without expectationDon’t expect people to be friendlyWhen they’re not, you won’t be surprised or bothered; if they are, you’ll be delightedDon’t expect your day to be problem-freeInstead, as problems come up, say to yourself, “Ah, another barrier to overcome” As you approach your day in this manner you’ll notice how elegant life can beRather than fighting against life, you’ll be dancing with itPretty soon, with practice, you’ll lighten up your entire lifeAnd when you lighten up, life is a lot more fun

1Why are people easily frustrated and anxious these days?

A. Because their children are disappointing

B. Because they have to look serious in public

C. Because life is becoming a greater burden

D. Because people have lost sensible judgment

2According to Benjamin Franklin, what was the cause of over-seriousness?

A. The fact that people’s perspective, hopes and fears are limited

B. The fact that people can’t change life itself

C. The fact that things fail to meet people’s expectations

D. The fact that circumstances turn out to be difficult

3In what pattern is this article developed?

A. Phenomenon, causes and solutions

B. Problems, explanation and conclusion

C. Examples, causes and arguments

D. Phenomenon, analysis and conclusion

4What might be the best title for the passage?

A. People seem to be too serious

B. Life is simply as it is

C. Hopes can turn into difficulties

D. A good exercise removes over-seriousness
