About 17 years ago,I planted 10Canadian blue spruce seedlings(树苗) along the driveways.And I did all I could to (42)A them.Shortly after that,a storm ripped through our area and (43)C many trees.My seedlings survived.But when we decided to (44)D our neighbor in selling our downed trees,we had to (45)C the seedlings to keep them from getting destroyed.(46)D,five of the 10 blue spruce trees didn't survive being moved.

18.Life satisfaction is the way persons evaluate their lives and how they feel about their directions and options for the future.It's a measure of well-being and may be evaluated in terms of mood,satisfaction with relations with others and with achieved goals and self-concepts to cope with daily life.It's having a favorable attitude towards one's life as a whole rather than just an evaluation of current feelings.Life satisfaction has been measured in relation to economy,education,experiences,and residence,as well as many other topics.
Life satisfaction can reflect experiences that have influenced a person in,a positive way.These experiences have the ability to motivate people to pursue and reach their goals.As a matter of fact,in these experiences there are two kinds of emotions that may positively influence how people understand their life.Hope and optimism both consist of emotional processes that are usually directed towards the reaching of goals.People who have higher life satisfaction are always full of hope for a better future;additionally,optimism is linked to higher life satisfaction,while pessimism is related to symptoms in depression.
The psychologist,Yuval Palgi,studied the old-old-people who were primarily in their nineties.This subject group was found to have thought highly of their past and present,but they thought lower of their future.A large factor that was talked about in life satisfaction was intelligence.The experiments talk of how life satisfaction grows as people become older because they become wiser and more knowledgeable,so they begin to see that life will be better as they grow older and understand the important things in life more.But when they step into their nineties,future becomes a luxury to them.
According to Seligman,the happier people are,the less they are focused on the negative.Happier people also have a greater tendency to like other people,which promotes a happier environment,which then correlates to a higher level of the persons'satisfaction with their life.

32.What can we learn about life satisfaction from Paragraph 1?B
A.It can be easily measured through income and education.
B.It includes a positive attitude towards people's entire life.
C.It merely determines people's attitude towards the future.
D.It has nothing to do with the evaluation of current feelings.
33.What emotions have a positive effect on life satisfaction?D
A.Motivation and dream.
B.Hope and depression.
C.Optimism and pessimism.
D.Hope and optimism.
34.What was the attitude of most old-old towards their future?A
A.They were less hopeful about it.
B.They thought highly of it.
C.They felt satisfied with it.
D.They were scared of it.
35.What may be the best title for the text?B
A.Old People Have Much More Life Satisfaction
B.Life Satisfaction-the Key to a Happier Life
C.Optimism Ensures Life Satisfaction
D.Emotions Affect Life Satisfaction.
5.I was a teacher for only ten years.In 1926,on my return to China after finishing studies in the United States,I began to teach at my alma mater Yenching University,Peiping,as a lecturer in Chinese.The teachers of the Department of Chinese then were mostly my former teachers.
The students and I were good friends.The freshmen were mostly young boys and girls aged between 17and 20 in five classes,each consisting of 30to 40students coming from various places of China.Those from Fujian and Guangdong had difficulty in understanding the heavily accented speech of teachers who came from places south of the Yangtze River.Consequently,some of these students were transferred to my class through the arrangements of the school's office.Looking down from the platform,I was delighted by a multitude of rosy-faced young students smiling and staring curiously at me.Their smiles were by no means unfamiliar to me,being similar to those I often saw on the faces of my younger brothers and younger female cousins.
I taught a course on advanced writing,which was an elective for students above the freshman level.It gave them a try in different genres of literary writing,such as fiction,poetry,correspondence and sometimes translations.For the end-of-term examination,I had them each hand in a self-edited magazine specializing in any subjects,such as fine arts,sports,etc.and complete with well designed cover,aim of its publication and photos.Students of the same class could request contributions or photos from each other,or from students of other classes.They called it an interesting try.The magazines they handed in by the end of the term were very lively and encouraging,each having its content quite in line with its title.
In recalling my past career as a teacher,I always think fondly of the intimate friendship between the students and me.In those days,teachers and students all lived on campus.We often went boating on the Weiming Lake,or had discussions about various things on the marble boat by the island in the middle of the Lake,or had heart-to-heart private talks about,for instance,job selections or marriage.All that took place over half a century ago,and now,more than half of them have gone to another world before me.I feel very sorrow about it indeed.In my mind,teachers and students should be friends with mutual respect and love.

25.The underlined words"alma mater"in Paragraph 1probably meansA.
A.the school where the writer studied before     
 B.the school that the writer dreamt of before

D.the school where the writer lived before
26.Why those students from Fujian and Guangdong were transferred to my class?D
A.Because the writer was a new teacher.
B.Because they wanted to take the course that the writer taught.
C.Because the writer would like to make friends with the students.
D.Because they couldn't understand the heavily accented speech of their teachers.

Recently campus safety has become public concern since a series of violent attacks happened,which causes serious damage.It makes us aware of the fact that safety should always come firstly in our daily life.
In this case,we should take effective measure which can solve this problem.Firstly,our students should realize we must follow our school or traffic rules,and pay attention to food safety,because many incidents happen just because of we are too careless.Secondly,you should take training of security so that we can keep calm if faced with conflicts.Thirdly,our government and schools should provide surroundings that our students can be buried in studying.
As far as I am concerned,improving campus safety is very important that we all should try our best to make anyone on campus safe and sound.
