Unhappy people glue(使粘牢) themselves to the television 30 percent more than happy people.
The finding, announced on Thursday,   1  from a survey of nearly 30,000 American adults conducted between 1975 and 2006 as part of the General Social Survey.
  2  happy people reported watching an   3  of 19 hours of television per week, unhappy people reported 25 hours a week. The results held even after   4  into account education, income, age and marital status.
In addition, happy individuals were more socially   5 , attended more religious services, voted more and    6 a newspaper more often than their less-chipper(没有精神的) counterparts.
The researchers are not sure, though, whether unhappiness   7 more television-watching or more viewing leads to unhappiness.
In fact, people say they like watching television: Past research has shown that when people watch television they   8   it. In these studies, participants reported that on a   9 from 0 (dislike) to 10 (greatly enjoy), TV-watching was nearly an 8.
But perhaps the high from watching television doesn't  10  .
"These conflicting data  11  that TV may provide viewers with short-run   12 , but at the expense of long-term malaise(精神欠爽)," said researcher John Robinson, a sociologist at the University of Maryland, College Park.
In this case, even the happiest campers could turn into Debbie-downers if they continue to   13 at the TV. The researchers suggest that over time, television-viewing 14  push out other activities that do have more lasting   15 . Exercise and sex come to mind, as do parties and other forms of socialization known to have psychological benefits.
Or, maybe television is simply a refuge(慰藉物) for people who are already  16 .
"TV is not judgmental 17 difficult, so people with  18 social skills or resources for other activities can engage in it," Robinson and UM colleague Steven Martin write in the December issue of the journal Social Indicators Research.
They add, "  19  , chronic unhappiness can be socially and personally debilitating(使人衰弱的) and can interfere with work and most social and personal activities, but even the unhappiest people can click a remote and be passively   20 by a TV."
The researchers say follow-up studies are needed to tease out the relationship between television and happiness.

文章通过一项研究说明了不快乐的人看电视的时间比快乐的人多30%。完成本完形填空时,我们应把生活中人们看电视的实际情况和作者的行文时的思路逻辑联系起来。
1. A考查动词的含义记忆与理解辨析及在语言逻辑方面的准确应用。分析得出的语境是:该研究结果根据1975年至2006年间的一项针对美国近3万名成年人的调查得出,该调查为“社会综合调查”的其中一部分。其中根据……得出,正是这一空要填的,也即是A项和其后的from连用构成短语come from,意思是来自….。而CD项虽然都和fome搭配但依次分别所表达的意思是:区别于……,因为……或起因于……,意思都和这儿的语言逻辑不契合,B项根本就不和from搭配,故我们选择A项为最佳答案。
2. C 检测连词的含义的准确记忆与理解。这一段的语境是:调查结果显示,快乐的人平均每周看电视的时间为19个小时,而不快乐的人平均每周看电视长达25个小时。该研究同时考虑了调查对象的受教育程度、收入、年龄和婚姻状况。经过分析,联系上下文的语境我们容易推理出此处应该填上表示然而之意的连词,也即是C项,D项的具有很大的迷惑性,但是是个副词,不能引导状语从句,AB两项依次分别所表达的意思是:当……的时候,因为……或者即使….. 等等,这些意思在这儿都不符合此处的上下文之间语言逻辑,故C项为准确答案。
3. A 检测名词的含义辨析及在语言逻辑方面的准确应用。由上一题的分析再加上我们熟悉的常识:调查时一般都会涉及到某个数据的平均值,总量等等,而我们看电视的一周时间的长短也就是十几个小时,这样一来,我们不难看出此处应该填上表示平均数之意的名词,也即是A项,而BCD项依次分别所表达的意思是:量,数字,努力,这些词语所表示的意思都和我们上面的分析的语言逻辑不契合,故我们选择A项为最佳答案。
4. C 检测非谓语动词中的动名词的含义的准确记忆与理解。由上一题的分析我们不难看出此处应该填上表示把……考虑进去之意的词,这四个词中只有C项和into account搭配之后才有这样的之意。而其余ABD项和into accoun都不搭配,故我们选择C项为最佳答案。
5. A 检测形容词的含义的准确记忆与理解。经过分析,语意是:此外,与不快乐的人相比,快乐的人在社交方面更为活跃,他们更爱参加宗教活动和投票选举等社会活动,并且更爱阅读。其中的更爱参加社会活动就是be socially active,也即是A项,而其余ABD三项项依次分别所表达的意思是:消极的,疯狂的,舒适的,这些词语所表示的意思都和这儿的语言逻辑相悖,故我们选择A项为最佳答案。
6. B 考查动词的含义辨析及在语言逻辑方面的准确应用。由上一题的分析和我们所了解的日常的知识,报纸通常都是读的,由此我们不难看出此处应该填上read,而不是ACD项依次分别所表达的意思是:看(动作),看到(结果)和带走,这些意思在这儿都不符合此处的上下文之间语言逻辑和常识,故B项为准确答案。
7. C 检测动词的含义的准确记忆与理解应用。联系上下文进行分析,得出语意是:但目前研究人员还不确定究竟是不快乐导致人们更爱看电视,还是看电视过多导致人们不快乐。根据语境我们容易推理出此处应该填上表示导致之意的动词,这四个词中只有C项有这样的意思。而其余ABD项依次分别所表达的意思是:建立,消减,倾向于。这些意思在这儿都不符合此处我们分析的上下文之间语言逻辑,故C项为准确答案。
8. B考查动词的含义准确掌握和理解辨析及在语言逻辑方面的准确应用。经过分析,语意是:此前的研究表明,人们在看电视时觉得很享受。联系上下文的语境我们容易推理出此处应该填上表示享受之意的动词,这四个词中只有B项有欣赏享受之意。ACD项依次分别所表达的意思是:恨,收养,适应,这些意思在这儿都不符合此处的上下文之间语言逻辑,故B项为准确答案。
9. C 检测形容词的含义的准确记忆与理解。在这些研究中,测试者要求研究对象对自己看电视时的感受程度进行打分,最低0分(代表厌恶),最高10分(特别享受)。结果显示,爱看电视的人打分接近8分。联系上下文的语境我们容易推理出此处应该填上表示程度之意的名词,也即是C项;而其余ABD项依次分别所表达的意思是:时尚,团体,比例,这些词语所表示的意思都和这儿的语言逻辑不相契合,故我们选择C项为最佳答案。
10. A 考查动词的含义辨析及在语言逻辑方面的准确应用。联系上下文的语境我们容易推理出这一句的语境是:也许是看电视所带来的快乐感并不能持久。由此分析我们不难看出此处应该填上表示持续之意的动词,也即是A项,其余BCD项依次分别所表达的意思是:下降,加宽,消失,这些词语所表示的意思都和这儿的语言逻辑不相契合,故我们选择A项为最佳答案。
11. B 考查动词的含义辨析及在语言逻辑方面的准确应用。经过分析,语意是:这种相互矛盾的数据结果说明,电视可能给观看者提供短期的快乐,但是却以长期的不快乐为代价。联系上下文的语境我们容易推理出此处应该填上表示说明之意的动词,这四个词中只有B项有这样的意思,而其余ACD项依次分别所表达的意思是:报道,改进,承认,这些意思在这儿都不符合此处的上下文之间语言逻辑,故B项为准确答案。
12. B 检测名词的含义辨析及在语言逻辑方面的准确应用。由上一题的分析我们不难看出此处应该填上表示快乐之意的名词,也即是B项,而其余ACD项依次分别所表达的意思是:兴奋,遭罪,悲伤,这些意思中的A项迷惑性最大,但是我们知道电视不仅仅带来激动和兴奋,还有伤感和眼泪,这些都不是文章所论述的内容,文章只论述电视能给人带来的快乐,因此显得与此处的上下文之间语言逻辑不合适宜,故B项为准确答案。
13. C 检测动词的含义的准确记忆与理解。由语境:这样一来,即使是最幸福的人如果他们连续不断地看电视,也会变得压抑而得不到快乐,经过分析,我们不难看出此处应该填上表示看之意的动词,这四个词中只有ABC两项有这样的意思,但是A项的意思是瞪眼看,而我们看电视往往是盯着看,也就是C项,B项只有和at搭配之后才有这样的意思,即使有这样的意思也不行,因为它表示一次看的行为,故我们选择C 项为最佳答案。
14. C 检测情态动词的含义的准确记忆与理解。联系上下文的语境我们容易推理出这一句的语境是:研究人员暗示说,观看电视可能把其它的的确有着长期的好处的活动给挤了出来。这四个词中只有C项有可能之意。而其余ABD项依次分别所表达的意思是:应该,必须,必要,这些词语所表示的意思都和这儿的语言逻辑不相契合,故我们选择C项为最佳答案。
15. D 检测名词的含义辨析及在语言逻辑方面的准确应用。由上一题的分析我们不难看出此处应该填上表示利益、好处之意的名词,也即是D项,而其余ABC项依次分别所表达的意思是:舒适,笑声,压力。这些意思在这儿都不符合此处的上下文之间语言逻辑,故B项为准确答案。
16. D 检测形容词的含义的准确记忆与理解。联系上下文的语境我们容易推理出这一句的语境是:或者可能电视仅仅是不幸福的人的一种感到得到慰藉的东西而已。不难看出此处应该填上表示不幸福之意的形容词,也即是D项,而其余ABC项依次分别所表达的意思是:厌烦的,孤独的,烦的,这些意思在这儿都不符合此处的上下文之间语言逻辑,故D项为准确答案。
17. C 检测连词的含义辨析及在语言逻辑方面的准确应用。经过分析,语意是:电视既不带有评判性又不难理解,所以没有社交技能或者别的社交活动的资源的人就经常看电视。联系上下文的语境我们容易推理出出此处应该填上表示也不之意的连词,也即是C项,最具有迷惑性的是B项,但是它通常要和另一个连词组成短语neither…..nor,而其余AD项依次分别所表达的意思是:和,但是,也不符合此处的上下文之间语言逻辑,故C项为准确答案。
18. A 检测形容词的含义的准确记忆与理解。联系上下文的语境和由上一题的分析我们不难看出此处应该填上表示很少之意的形容词,也即是A项,A项的具有很大的迷惑性,但是它用来修饰不可数名词,而skills是名词的复数形式。CD项依次分别所表达的意思是:很多,大量,所表示的意思都和这儿的语言逻辑不相契合,故我们选择A项为最佳答案。
19. B 检测副词的含义辨析及在语言逻辑方面的准确应用。联系上下文的语境我们容易推理出这一句的语境是:而且,长期的不幸福可能在社交和个人方面是人衰弱,也可能影响工作和大多数的社交和个人活动。由这个分析我们不难看出此处应该填上表示而且之意的副词,这四个词中只B项有这样的意思,而其余ACD项依次分别所表达的意思是:因此,然而,但是,其中A项的具有很大的迷惑性,但它表示因果关系,而我们要的是表示递进关系的副词,故我们选择B项为最佳答案。
20. D 考查动词过去分词的含义辨析及在语言逻辑方面的准确应用。联系上下文的语境及由上一题的分析我们容易推理出这一句的语境是:但是即使是最不幸福的人也能按遥控器进而由电视被动的得到愉悦。我们不难看出此处应该填上表示愉悦之意的动词,也即是D项,其余ABC项依次分别所表达的意思是:控制,变换,说服,这些意思在这儿都不符合此处的上下文之间语言逻辑,故D项为准确答案。

Some personal characteristics play an important role in the development of one’s intelligence . But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people .
The so-called ‘non-intelligence factors’(非智力因素)include    36     feelings , will , motivation (动机), interests and habits . After a 30-year follow-up study of 8000 males , American psychologists (心理学)   37     that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence     38    , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn , will power and self-confidence .
39    people all know that one should have definite objectives , a strong will and good learning habits , quite a number of teachers and parents don’t pay much attention to     40    these factors .
Some parents are greatly worried    41     their children fail to do well in their studies . They blame either genetic (遗传的)factors , malnutrition ,(营养不良)or laziness , but they never take     42    consideration these non-intelligence factors . At the same time , some teachers don’t inquire into these , as reasons    43     students do poorly . They simply give them more courses and exercises , or     44    criticize or laugh at them . After all , these students lose self-confidence . Some of them just feel defeated and     45    themselves up as hopeless . Others may go astray(迷途)because they are sick of learning .   46     investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 per cent of them were   47      of learning , because of examinations , 36.4 per cent lacked persistence , initiative (主动)and consciousness (正直地、谨慎的)and 10.3 per cent were sick of learning .
It is clear    48     the lack of cultivation (培养) of non-intelligence factors has been a main     49    to intelligence development in teenagers . It even causes an imbalance between physiological (生理的)and    50     development among a few students .
If we don’t start now to   51      the cultivation of non-intelligence factors , it will not only affect the development of the   52      of teenagers , but also affect the quality of a whole generation . Some experts have put forward    53     about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors .
First , parents and teachers should    54     understand teenage psychology . On this basis , they can help them to pursue (调动)the objectives of learning ,     55   their interests and toughening their willpower .

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse,according to the doctors.I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded(包围)by shops selling unhealthy,fatty foods,such as fried chicken and ice cream,at low prices.This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves.If there were fewer of these restaurants,then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight.I agree with this,because good eating habits begin early in life,long before children start to visit fast food shops.If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food,or are always allowed to choose what they eat,they will go for sweet and salty foods every time,and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation.Children these days take very little exercise.They do not walk to school.When they get home,they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games.Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣),it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem,and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active,as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
小题1:According to the text,what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A.Those who often take exercise.
B.Those who often watch television.
C.Those who often have meals at home.
D.Those who often walk to school.
小题2:The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because ________.
A.their parents often cook meals for them
B.they are too busy to go out and play
C.they can’t choose what to eat
D.there are too many fast food shops around
小题3:The word“steering”underlined in the last sentence most probably means ________.
A.forcingB.guiding
C.drivingD.moving
小题4:The main purpose of the text is to ________.
A.tell a storyB.provide facts
C.give adviceD.compare opinions
I know what you’re thinking: pizza(比萨饼)? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.
I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早饭), and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saying” calories (卡路里),still others just don’t like breakfast food.学科But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight .“Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R.D. ,  who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.学科Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers – it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow.” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it … you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
小题1:The word “leftovers” in paragraph I probably means  ______.
A.food remaining after a mealB.things left undone
C.meals made of vegetablesD.pizza topped with fruit
小题2:What can we infer from the text?
A.Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.
B.Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.
C.There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.
D.Eating vegetables helps save energy.
小题3:According to the last paragraph, it is important to _______.
A.eat something for breakfastB.be careful about what you cat
C.heat up food before eating itD.cat calorie-controlled food
小题4:The text is written mainly for those _______.
A.who go to work earlyB.who want to lose weight
C.who stay up lateD.who eat before sleep
Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, winter skating or skiing in winter. It may be a game of some kind, football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering(爬山).
Those who have a passion(热情)for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different thing that it would be dangerous to ignore(忽视),but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no“matches”between“teams”of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than men. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities
A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of efforts and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
小题1:Mountaineering involves      .
A.coldB.hardshipC.physical riskD.all of the above
小题2:The difference between a sport and a game has something to do with the kind of        .
A.activityB.rulesC.uniformD.participants
小题3:Mountaineering can be called a team sport because      .
A.it is an Olympic event
B.teams compete against each other
C.mountaineers depend on each other while climbing
D.there are 5 climbers on each team.
小题4:Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and Football k
B.Mountaineering Is More Attractive than Other Sports
C.Mountaineering
D.Mountain Climbers
What is green food? Do you enjoy green food every day? The concept of “green food” was first suggested by the Department of the Ministry of Agriculture in 1990.
Green symbolizes life, health and energy. Nowadays, people demand healthy and fresh food. Having enough food to eat is only a basic requirement, and they need more than this. They want to enjoy unpolluted, safe and nutritious food and eat comfortably. So the government does this through a set of “from the land to the dinner table” quality controls. It requires to change China’s traditional agricultural structures and ensure the food of high quality.
Safe vegetables refers to products without substances harmful to humans. Growing such vegetables requires no strong poisons, thus guaranteeing vegetables fresh and clean. There are strict regulations in place for even applying fertilizer(肥料). The examination of vegetables should reach the state food hygiene(卫生) standard. The following conditions for green food are regulated by the China Green Food Development Center. Firstly, products or raw materials must reach the green ecological environment standard set by the Ministry of Agriculture. Secondly, crop planting, livestock raising, fish breeding and food processing must follow green food operating procedures set by the Ministry. Products must be up to the green food hygiene standard. External packing must be pasted with national standard universal labels, special green food packing decoration and tag regulations.
However, by now, our goal hasn’t been completely realized. When you return home with a full basket, you are still worried about whether what you have bought is green and healthy. Indeed, for the sake of our health, we still have a long way to go.
小题1: According to the passage, we know that green food __________.
A.means the color of food is green
B.mainly refers to green vegetables
C.doesn’t need to be fertilized
D.is examined by a series of standards
小题2:Which of the following isn’t the required standard green food must reach?
A.Green food must not cause ecological destruction.
B.Green food should agree with green food operating procedures.

Space travel is definitely bad for astronauts’ bones, reducing their bone density(密度) after only a month of weightlessness, according to French research published on Friday.
Laurence Vico and his fellow workers at St Etienne University called for more research into the effects of microgravity, after their study of 15 astronauts from the Russian MIR station showed bone loss continued throughout space flights.
“Bone loss was especially striking in four astronauts, ” the scientists reported in the Lancet Medical Journal.
They measured the bone mineral density (BMD) of bones in the forearm(前臂) and lower leg of the astronauts who had spent one to six months in space.
The BMD loss was significant in the tibia(胫骨) of the lower leg, a weight-bearing bone, but barely changed in the radius(桡骨) of the forearm. “Our results indicate the need to investigate not only different bones, but also different areas of the same bone since not all sites of the skeleton (骨架) are similarly affected by space conditions, ” they added.
Without gravity the body isn’t bearing any weight so there is no need for calcium (钙) which makes bones strong, and it becomes empty into the bloodstream.
The research team suggested in future scientists should try to determine if the loss of bone density was only on weight-bearing bones on longer flights, also the possible recovery after returning to Earth.

 Eat healthier. Exercise twice a week. Read more books. Lose weight. We make the same resolutions(决心) every year, but most of us fail, dying out after only a few days or , at best, weeks. Even the most successful among us crash and burn when it comes to personal change. President-elect Barack Obama struggles to remove his cigarette habit.
Professionals who help people make changes in their lives suggest the change is determined not by one's surroundings, but one's mind. Beginning with small goals or steps usually leads to a bigger payoff later, they say. But they caution that the experience is different for everyone.
"People are more likely to make positive changes in their lives not only when their friends do, but when their friends of friends do, and when their friends of friends of friends do," said Nicholas Christakis, a professor of medical sociology at Harvard University. "People are better able to make changes in their lives - lose weight, quit smoking, become happy - when they do this with a large number of other people, and so taking advantage of your social network ties can result in a magnification of your own efforts."
Jhonny Augustin understands that well. His resolution for 2008 was to shed 30 pounds from his 237-pound frame. But the change didn't come easily. He said,"I'm a huge procrastinator, I kept putting it off until tomorrow. I didn't get to do it until the summer." However , Augustin got inspired when he saw his older brother working out. Today, Augustin weighs 190 pounds.
“Of course, change can happen only if people don't set their expectations too high or try to tackle too many changes at once; one of the biggest mistakes we make is setting unrealistic goals, ”said Dalia Llera, a psychologist and associate professor of counseling and psychology at Lesley University. "You can't accomplish in a few weeks what you haven't accomplished in a few years," said Llera.
