12.I arrived at my mother's home for our Monday family dinner.The smells of food flew over from the kitchen.Mother was pulling out quilt(被子)after quilt from the boxes,proudly showing me their beauties.She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church.When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes,I noticed something at the bot tom of one box.I pulled it out."What is this?"I asked.
"Oh?"Mom said,"That's Mama's quilt."
I spread the quilt.It looked at i f a group of school children had pieced it together; irregular designs,childish pictures,a crookedline on the right.
"Grandmother made this?"I said,surprised.My grandmother was a master at making quilts.This certainly didn't look like any of the quilts she had made.
"Yes,right before she died.I brought it home with me last year and made some changes,"she said."I'm still working on it.See,this is what I've done so far."
  I looked at it more closely.She had made straight a crooked line.At the center of the quilt,she had stitched(缝) a piece of cloth with these words:"My mother made many quilts.She didn't get all lines straight.But I think this is beautiful.I want to see it finished.Her last quilt."
"Oh,this is so nice,Mom,"I said.It occurred to me that by completing my grandmother's quilt,my mother was honoring her own mother.I realized,too,that I held in my hands a family treasure.It started with the loving hands of one woman,and continued with the loving hands of another.

2.Why play sports?You might say"to get exercise"and you'd be right.To have fun?That's true,too.But there's more.(36)DAccording to the Women's Sports Foundation,girls who play sports get a lot more than just fit.
Girls who play sports do better in school.You might think that athletics will take up all your study time.(37)GExercise improves learning,memory,and concentration,which can give active girls an advantage in the classroom.
Girls who play sports learn teamwork and goal-setting skills.(38)BWhen working with coaches,trainers,and teammates to win games and achieve goals,you're learning how to be successful.Those skills will serve you well at work and in family life.
Sports are good for a girl's health.In addition to being fit and keeping a healthy weight,girls who play sports are also less likely to smoke.And later in life,girls who exercise are less likely to get breast cancer or osteoporosis(骨质酥松症).
Playing sports improves self-confidence.(39)EWhy?It builds confidence when you know you can practice,improve,and achieve your goals.Sports are also a feel-good activity because they help girls get in shape,keep a healthy weight,and make new friends.
(40)APlaying sports can reduce stress and help you feel a little happier.How?The brain chemicals released during exercise improve a person's mood.Friends are another mood-lifter.And being in a team creates tight bonds between friends.It's good to know your teammates will support you---both on and off the field!

3.When was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you?Not someone you knew,but a total stranger?It's happened to me a few times,but two instances really stand out.
A few years ago,I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself,completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery.It wasn't my friend's talks that made me suffer.I was recovering from a broken heart,and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship.I could have burst into tears right there at the table.
When we picked up the check,the waitress said,"Your meal was already paid for."My friend and I didn't have a clue how it happened.Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye.He was dressed in mostly white,sat down at the bar,had a beer,and stayed for maybe ten minutes.The waitress said,"Yes,the gentleman in white paid for you."It felt like an angel was saying,"I see you,honey.It's going to be okay."
Just last year,I was running a halfmarathon.With just 1 mile to go,I was out of gas.Runners call it"hitting the wall".I thought I couldn't move another inch.Out of nowhere,a strang er came up to me and said,"What's your name,sweetie?Jennifer?Okay,Jennifer,let's go!Come on!It's just around the corner!You can do it!"And he ran with me until I picked up my pace.I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn't even supposed to be in the race that day.
I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need.Do you have any experiences like these?

7.Five Things Happy People Usually Do
Express gratitude.
When you appreciate what you have,you benefit a lot.So basically,being grateful for the goodness will bring you a deeper sense of happiness.And that's without having to go out and buy anything.It makes sense.(36)C
Cultivate optimism.
Winners have the ability to build their own optimism.No matter what the situation,they will always find a way to take an optimistic attitude.(37)F
People who think optimistically see the world as a place packed with endless opportunities,especially in difficult times.
Avoid over-thinking and social comparison.
(38)G If we're somehow"better"than the person that we're comparing ourselves to,it gives us an unhealthy sense of superiority.What I've found is that the majority of this type of social comparison doesn't originate from a healthy place.If you feel called to compare yourself to something,compare yourself to an earlier version of yourself.
Practice acts of kindness.
Performing an act of kindness keeps us happy.(39)E What's even cooler about this kindness is that not only will you feel better,but also people watching the act of kindness will.How extraordinary that is!By standers will be blessed with happiness just by watching what's going on.
(40)B
The happiest people on the planet are the ones who have deep,meaningful relationships.There's a warm fuzzy(模糊的) feeling that comes from having an active circle of good friends who you can share your experiences with.We feel connected and a part of something more meaningful than our lonesome existence.

A.Make more friends.
B.Encourage social relationships.
C.We're going to have a hard time if we aren't thankful for what we already have.
D.We are supposed to hold a positive attitude towards life.
E.Helping someone is a super powerful way to feel good inside.
F.They consider failure only as an opportunity to grow and learn a new lesson from life.
G.Comparing yourself to someone else can be poisonous.
17.Who knows about sleep?Astronauts.They have to.Their bodies are cut off from the outside world that reminds us what time it is.But actually,it's even worse than that.An astronaut reported  in his diary that he was likely to  make mistakes on days following an unusually late bedtime.
So NASA started doing some serious research.They quickly realized that we're a slave to the outside world.Without light and darkness,we're unable to regulate (管理) sleep times.
Because of modern technology,we're all living more like astronauts now.Light is no longer a function of the sun,but of always-on indoor lights,TV and computer screens.Temperature no longer follows a cycle of cooling at night and warming during the day.Is it any wonder that a third of American have sleep problems?
Maybe you think this doesn't affect you---or at least not much.You're wrong.Research done on non-astronauts has shown the same thing.After two weeks of six hours of sleep a night,you're drunk.By the end of two weeks,the six-hour sleepers behaved as badly as those who hadn't slept for 24hours.
But what did they say when asked how they felt?"It's not affecting me."So if you are performing poorly because of sleep problems,you may have no idea.This is a real problem.
So what answers did NASA come up with?
Take an hour to calm down before bed.Yes,you're busy.But your time is not more valuable than an astronauts'.
Keep your bedroom dark,cool and free from noise.Even if you think"the light doesn't affect you"or"the noise isn't that bad",it can still affect sleep quality.
Another advice:forget the alarm clock in the morning; set an alarm to remind you to go to bed at night.When it goes off,finish up any work on the computer,and turn off any unnecessary lights.This prevents you from cheating yourself on sleep and allows you to wake up naturally.

29.What did NASA find about people's sleep?B
A.It takes a long time to develop regular sleep times.
B.It's strongly influenced by the outside world.
C.It remains untouched by outside influences.
D.It's hard to change one's sleep habits.
30.Paragraph 3is mainly aboutC.
A.different sleep types
B.the importance of a good sleep
C.the reasons why we have sleep problems
D.the disadvantages of modern technology
31.The biggest problem of those who haven't enough sleep lies in the fact thatB.
A.they can't fall asleep without the lights on
B.they don't know whether they sleep well
C.they refuse to regulate their sleep times
D.they get too drunk to sleep well.
32.What's the advice on the alarm clock?A
A.Use it to remind you it sleep.
B.Put it far away from your bed.
C.Get up immediately when it rings.
D.Listen carefully to it when it rings.
19.My father brought home a sailboat when I was ten,and almost each Sunday in summers we would go sailing.Dad was quite skilled in sailing,but not good at (41)C.As for me,I(42)D both before twelve because of living close to Lake Ontario.
