5.The most popular trend in self--help theories these days is about positive thinking.Many  successful authors tell us that the best way to succeed and be happy is to avoid thinking about  failure and to focus on good things.One of these theories comes from a small book called How  Full is  Your Bucket(水桶)?by Tom Rath and Donald O.Clifton.The idea behind their work  is fairly simple,positive thinking from yourself and others will make your life better.
The authors say that the idea for their work is based on a historical case.During the Korean War,a large number of American troops were being held prisoners,and many of them  died in prison.A psychologist found that the reason for their death was the feel of total lack of hope the prisoners had.In other words,the authors of How Full Is Your Bucket?say it was  because of negative thinking.The story shows us the terrible power of negative emotions.
The authors of the book also believe that every interaction (相互影响) we have with other people affects us deeply.Our lives are shaped by our relationships with others.The authors  believe that experiences with others are always either good or bad but never neutral.This  brings us to the bucket idea.Imagine that everyone has a bucket.Every positive interaction  adds to the bucket,and every negative interaction takes away from it.It works whether it's  another person's negativity or your own; they both take away from your own bucket.The  best way to live is with a full bucket,which is the result of positive thinking and interactions  with the people around us.Positivity is almost like a magic cure,according to the look.It gives us energy and makes us stronger,healthier,happier and more successful.Is the secret really that simple?It's up to you to decide.

28.According to the text,when someone asks you"how full is your bucket?",what does he mean?D
A.How hard do you work?
B.How unhappy are you?
C.How disappointed do you feel?
D.How much optimistic energy do you have?
29.The authors of the book believe the prisoned American soldiers in the Korean War were killed byC.
A.terrible diseases
B.lack of food and clean water
C.the idea that they're going to die
D.cruel mental and physical punishment
30.According to the bucket theory,when interacting with others,if you are holding negative  beliefs,you areA.
A.eptying both your and others'buckets
B.emptying just your own bucket
C.filling up your own bucket
D.filling up others'buckets
31.How can we live with a full bucket?C
A.Avoid communicating with discouraged people and focus on our own happiness.
B.Carry a bucket of water with us wherever we go.C.Raise our positive energy and bring hope to others all the time.
D.Blame others for being unhappy and force them to smile.

分析 本文主要讲述了How  Full is  Your Bucket(水桶)?--这本书背后的理念.成功和幸福的最好的方法是避免失败和专注于美好的事物的思考,积极的思考会让你的生活更加美好.

解答 28.D推理判断题.根据第三段Imagine that everyone has a bucket.Every positive interaction  adds to the bucket,and every negative interaction takes away from it.可知每一次积极的互动能增加桶里的东西,而每一次消极的互动就会拿走桶里的东西,那桶里应该放的是积极的能量,所以当别人问你"How full is your bucket?"时,他指的是"你有多少积极的能量?".故选D.
29.C细节理解题.根据第二段A psychologist found that the reason for their death was the feel of total lack of hope the prisoners had.In other words,the authors of How Full Is Your Bucket?say it was  because of negative thinking.可知在朝鲜战争中被关押的美国士兵之所以死亡是由于他们不抱希望,换句话说,这本书的作者认为他们死源于消极的思维,即他们自己认为自己会死.故选C.
30.A推理判断题.根据It works whether it's  another person's negativity or your own; they both take away from your own bucket.可知不管是别人还是自己存在消极思想,都会拿走桶里的东西.故选A.
31.C细节理解题.根据The  best way to live is with a full bucket,which is the result of positive thinking and interactions  with the people around us.可知最好的生活方式是一个完整的桶,这是与我们周围的人积极的思考和相互作用的结果.故选C.

16.Teenage boys,regardless of race,are more likely to die from gunshot wounds than from all natural causes combined,
By the time the average American child leaves primary school,he or she will witness 8,000 murders and more than 100,000 acts of violence on televisionYouth are becoming involved in violence at an alarming rate. In fact,the young arrest rate for murder doubled,from 6 arrests per 100,000 youth aged from 10 to 17 to over 12 per 100,000For the many youth who have not been directly exposed to violence in their own communities,the entertainment media (television,movies,music and video games) provides many opportunities for children to see and hear violent exchanges. Research shows that there are about 5~6 violent acts per hour on prime time and 20~25 violent acts on Saturday morning  children's programming. In its report,the American Psychological Association (APA) reported that viewing violence on television hurts children in many ways. In particular,the APA  concludes that children may become less sensitive to the pain and suffering of others,be more  fearful of the world around them,be more likely to behave in aggressive or harmful ways toward others,and gradually accept violence as a way to solve problems.
Another form of violence involving youth is physical punishment in the schools. This form of discipline (纪律) still remains legally supported in 23 nations in America. The Office for Civil Rights in the Department of Education reported that 555,000 students were physically punished in the schools during this school year. Although such punishment has been regarded as an effective method of discipline by those who apply it,the findings are obvious that physical punishment does not work and that children who are victims of physical punishment are subject to potential long-term physical and emotional damage.

11.New York times,Nov,24,2011-It is not just any bug,but the native nine-spotted ladybug.And its reappearance is something of a relief,because it is the official New York State insect,even though the last recorded sighting of it in New York was 29years ago.
Its absence had not gone completely unnoticed.There was a moment in 2006when the State Assembly,realizing that the state insect had left the state,tried to replace it with a different species of ladybug,an attempt that fortunately gave in to law.
And now-after all these years-the state insect has been found.Like so many other New Yorkers,it was seen summering in Amagansett.Peter Priolo,a volunteer participant in an effort called the Lost Ladybug Project,found the ladybug on July 30in a patch of sunflowers during a group search he had organized.
"I didn't realize it was a nine-spotted when I found it,"Mr.Priolo said.He was on his way to do an end-of-the-day ladybug record,so,he said,"I put it in my jar and hurried back to meet with everybody."
If the ladybugs are making a comeback,it is only beginning.The lost Ladybug Project started surveys in 2000.As of 2006,only five nene-spotted ladybugs had been found in North America in the previous 10years,none of them in the East.Then one lone ladybug was found in Arlington,Va.None had been found in the East since,and only 90have been reported in North America.
After scientists at Cornell confirmed Mr.Priolo's find,they went to the Amagansett farm in mid-August to lead a search that turned up about 20more of the bugs.An area between rows of carrots and beans turned out to be a hot spot."We found a lot of them on cosmos and zinnias,"said Dr.Losey said,an insect expert.The farm is part of the 10,000-acre Peconic Land Trust in Amagansett,and it is organic.For ladybugs,Dr.Losey said,"you couldn't design a better place."
Dr.Losey wants to find out if it makes sense to reintroduce this strain of the ladybug in other areas.And he expects volunteers to be back out in the field when ladybug season starts again in the spring.Now,he said,"we need to find out more places where there are just as many."

B.it is the official insect of the city
C.it had been out of sight for quite some time
D.it is a new species unknown to New York
51.What does the second paragraph of the passage imply?A
A.It's against the law to bring new insects to New York.
B.The State Assembly don't like to live with Ladybugs.
C.The absence of the state insect had never been known.
D.The state insect had to leave because of a new species.
