When asking about happiness, we often think of something unusual, that seems to be hard to get as we grow older. Sometimes, the more we can enjoy what we have, the happy we are. It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friend, the freedom to live in where we please, and even good health. So happiness isn’t about something that happens to us, it’s about how we see it in the reasonable way. Generally speaking, we were willing to hold a positive attitude towards things around us, and we should not look forward what we don’t have, but enjoy what they do have.

Blue whales are the largest animals ever known to have existed on the planet, and they can grow to a length of 100 feet and weigh more than 330,000 pounds. But recently researchers have found that these whales are on the move and they have migrated (moved) from California waters to areas off Canada and Alaska for the first time since commercial whaling ended in 1965.

The researchers identified 15 blue whales that have appeared off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska since 1997. Four of these whales were recognized as ones that were once sighted off California shores, suggesting that the whales are returning to an old migration pattern between the coasts.

Before commercial whaling began in the early 1900s, blue whales were found widely throughout the North Pacific and California waters. But from the 1920s to the 1960s, whaling severely reduced the whale populations. Blue whales never recovered in the Northern Pacific, making sightings in this area rare. However, much larger groups of whales have been observed close to California since the 1970s.

The scientists had previously thought that the California population was separate from the population that had historically lived in North Pacific waters. But the current study shows that whales off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska are likely part of the California population.

To identify the blue whales, the researchers looked at photos of cetaceans taken in the North Pacific Ocean and compared them with a library of blue whale pictures taken along the West Coast of the United States and Southern Pacific. Up to now, the researchers are not quite sure why the whales are changing their migration patterns, but they suspect that the whales may be following their food moving farther north by the changes in ocean conditions.

1.According to the passage, blue whales are __________.

A. following the fixed route of migration

B. dying out due to commercial whaling

C. rarely found in the Southern Pacific

D. moving from the south to the north

2.The whale population in the northern Pacific __________.

A. is different from the California population

B. has become the largest group since the 1970s

C. is probably part of the California population

D. has lived there since the 1960s.

3.The underlined word “cetaceans” in Paragraph 5 probably means __________.

A. whales species B. land creatures

C. ocean conditions D. migration patterns

4.What might make blue whales migrate according to the researchers?

Workplaces all over the UK are preparing for Christmas and all the traditions and customs that come with it. But will Christmas be a cause for happiness and celebration or embarrassment and disappointment?

One way that colleagues in Britain show their appreciation of each other at this time of year is by doing "Secret Santa" present giving. At that time, people who work together buy each other gifts without saying whom they are from.

Co-workers all write their names on a piece of paper and then organize a lottery in which each workmate takes another colleague's name at random(任意地). Each person then has to buy a present for the colleague whose name they have picked, usually with an agreed price set at a small amount of money such as five or ten pounds.

As the gifts are given without knowing the names of the gift givers, the quality of the presents can be very different; gifts that people received are from tickets to the opera to an air-freshener for a car.

Another common seasonal workplace tradition is the office Christmas party, when workmates put on their most attractive clothes and enjoy lots of free wine.

Although most parties are held without a hitch, sometimes the effects of alcohol(酒精) cause party goers to regret their drunken antics(古怪行为).

The BBC invited people to share their most embarrassing(令人尴尬的) Christmas office party stories, and received hundreds of funny stories, such as the man who split his trousers back to front with his strange dance moves or the drunken lady who spent the entire night with back of her dress tucked into her pants and saw the photos that proved it later at work.

But the worst story must surely come from Stuart Vaines, who got so drunk that he put his boss's head into the toilet. Unsurprisingly, he lost his job the very next day.

1.By saying this Christmas will cause embarrassment, the author actually refers to_________.

A. the workmate who receives a ticket to the opera

B. the man who receives an air-freshener

C. the lady who tucked the back of her dress in her pants

D. the man who put his boss's head into the toilet

2.The underlined phrase "without a hitch" in Para.6 most probably means_________.

A. without trouble B. without an end

C. without free drinks D. with less people

3.It is implied in the passage that _________.

A. The gift givers do not know whom they will give gifts to

B. some workmates are not generous enough to buy expensive gifts

C. the BBC is interested in people's funny stories

D. some party-goers will wish they haven't drunk so much

4.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A. Office Parties at Christmas

B. Happiness from Office Parties

C. Celebrations in Workplaces at Christmas

D. Funny Stories from Office Parties

Are you addicted to computer games? Do you stay up all night playing them? 1. But should we worry about their effects on our health?

Choices are various when it comes to gaming: 2. And there are shooting games where you can let out your anger and frustration in violent situations where you kill people with guns.

3. Popular games like Grand Theft Auto have been blamed for everything from falling results at school to provoking(激起) acts of extreme violence. Internet safety advisor, Alan MacKenzie, thinks “many people understandably will just think that a game is just a game and not realising the obvious content that’s in there”.

4. There is evidence that playing video games could actually be good for us. Studies have also shown that the skills used in playing games can cause growth in certain areas of the brain, the ability to think in 3D and even improve our eyesight.

Video gamers are also no longer just creatures playing alone. For some, gaming is having a positive effect on their social lives with games like Halo often being played in groups. 5. So it seems today, gaming, if used in moderation(有节制地), we can all take part.

A. Can these kinds of games really be fun and can being absorbed in virtual reality be good for us?

B. When your group works together to win the game, your sense of achievement is higher than when winning by yourself.

C. There’s no doubt that the excitement and sophistication of games these days makes them hard to put down.

G. Others will argue that gaming is a harmless form of entertainment.

Parents whose children think the latest Nike or Adidas shoes may be better than buying old-fashioned plimsolls (橡胶底帆布鞋) because they encourage a healthier style of running, researchers said.

Big companies, like Nike and Adidas, make millions of dollars from selling highly-cushioned shoes（厚增高的运动鞋) both as fashion and sports shoes. The researchers warn that wearing such shoes from an early age can make it difficult to run in a healthy way. Once we have grown used to running in this kind of shoes, it is very difficult to change our technique, even if we remove our shoes, it can raise the risk of injury.

Children should be encouraged to wear shoes with thin soles such as plimsolls from a young age to help them develop a natural “barefoot” running style, experts said.

Dr Mick Wilknson, who did the research, told the British Science Festival in Newcastle, “If I would advise someone on what to give their child, I would say don’t go and buy them expensive Adidas or Nike, just get them a pair of flexible, flat shoes. Give them basic foot-ware, nothing fancy, nothing particularly cushioned.”

Running in flat shoes, barefoot, encourages the runner to use the front of their foot which is a better technique for running, especially long distances as the human was designed to do.

Around the world, and in particular in the US, running barefoot is becoming more and more popular with many long distance runners training without shoes.

Dr Mick Wilknson believes that training and running barefoot or in flat running shoes can help reduce injuries to runners, he said: “Injury rates in running have not changed since the 1970s, despite claims of improvements in running shoes. That has led some to conclude that barefoot running is better.”

1.What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

A. Nike and Adidas are producing low-quality trainers.

B. It is improper to wear hi-tech Trainers at an early age.

C. It is unnecessary to buy hi-tech Trainers at an early age.

2.Why are people advised to wear plimsolls?

A. They have a new fashion

B. They have better quality.

C. They are healthier

D. They are cheaper.

3.What can we infer according to Dr Mick Wilknson?

A. Shoes industry is gradually declining(下降).

B. Barefoot running is more popular with people.

C. Plain plimsolls will be replaced by barefoot running.

D. People mustn’t run without shoes for a long distance.

4.Who is the passage written mainly for?

A. The boss of shoes shop

B. The runner of long distance

C. The boss of producing shoes

D. The parents of young children

When the morning sun looks in through your bedroom window, do you jump out of bed? 1. An adequate amount of sleep can make the difference between a great day and a terrible one!

A good night’s sleep doesn’t just happen. You need to prepare for it. 2. First, go to bed at the same time every day, and get up at the same time. If you haven’t gotten a good night’s sleep, don’t oversleep the next morning. Get up at your regular time. Sleeping late for just a couples of days can change your body clock to a different cycle. You don’t want that if you have a set daily schedule.

Also, avoid big meals at night. 3. Your stomach works hard to digest those fatty foods, and that may keep you up.

Your body produces a chemical called melatonin (褪黑色素) that helps you sleep. Light affects the amount of melatonin your body makes. 4. So at night turn off your TV and computer. Also, don’t read from a backlit (背光) electronic equipment like an IPad. Some scientists think that the light from those stops your body from making melatonin. So turn those screens off at least an hour before bedtime.

Maybe you can’t sleep or you wake up in the middle of the night. 5. Get up and do something relaxing elsewhere. Then go back to bed when you feel sleepy again. If you worry a lot, make a list of things you need to do the next day.Do that an hour before bed. That way you get your worrying out of the way before you go to bed.
