I have some study tip to share with you．First，be sure to discuss your needs with your teacher．He and she may have great advice for you．Second，in the classroom，be sure to listen careful to your teacher and making notes so that you can review later．Ask questions unless something is unclear．Third，see if you can do your homework soon after arriving to home．That way，things you've learned will fresh in your mind．When you do your homework，you are practicing that you've learned．At last，if you stdy and review your notes every day，you will have to struggle to learn many things before a test．And when you do a project，try to work on them a little every day rather than do it all at once．

16．You hear the comment all the time：the U．S．economy looks good by figures，but it doesn't feel good．Why doesn't ever-greater wealth promote ever-greater happiness？It is a question that dates at least to the appearance in 1958of The Wealthy Society by John Kenneth Galbraith，who died recently at 97．
The Wealthy Society is a modern classic because it helped describe a new moment in the human condition．For most of history，"hunger，sickness，and cold"threatened nearly everyone，Galbraith wrote．"Poverty （贫穷） was found everywhere in that world．Obviously it is not of ours．"After World War II，the fear of another Great Depression gave way to an economic growth．In the 1930s unemployment had averaged 18.2percent； in the 1950s it was 4.5percent．
To Galbraith，materialism （物质主义） had gone mad and would cause discontent．Through advertising，companies conditioned consumers to buy things they didn't really want or need．Because so much spending was artificial，it would be unsatisfying．Meanwhile，government spending that would make everyone better off was being cut down because people wrongly considered government only as"a necessary bad．"
It's often said that only the rich are getting ahead； everyone else is standing still or falling behind．Well，there are many undeserving rich-overpaid chief managers，for instance．But over any meaningful period，most people's incomes are increasing．From 1995to 2004，people feel"squeezed"because their rising incomes often don't satisfy their rising wants-for bigger homes，more health care，more education，and faster Internet connections．
The other great disappointment is that it has not got rid of insecurity．People regard job stability as part of their standard of living．As company unemployment increased，that part has gradually become weaker．More workers fear they've become"the disposable American，"as Louis Uchitelle puts it in his book by the same name．
Because so much previous suffering and social conflict resulted from poverty，the arrival of widespread wealth suggested utopian （乌托邦式的） possibilities．Up to a point，wealth succeeds．There is much less physical suffering than before．People are better off．Unfortunately，wealth also creates new complaints．
Advanced societies need economic growth to satisfy the multiplying wants of their citizens．But the search for growth cause new anxieties and economic conflicts that disturb the social order．Wealth sets free the individual，promising that everyone can choose a unique way to self-accomplishment．But the promise is so unreasonable that it leads to many disappointments and sometimes inspires choices that have anti-social consequences，including family breakdown．Figures indicate that happiness has not risen with incomes．
Should we be surprised？Not really．We've simply confirmed an old truth：the seeking of wealth does not always end with happiness．

A．about poverty in the past

30．Why do people feel"squeezed"when their average income rises considerably？C
A．They think there are too many overpaid rich．
B．There is more unemployment in modern society．
C．Their material demands go faster than their earnings．
D．Health care and educational cost have somehow gone out of control．

Does chewing have dental benefits？
Bones actually can stimulate dogs'teeth and help dogs deal with the pain of teething．If you have a dog，you may be wondering why it is destroying all the furniture in your house．Just like a human baby，dogs experience teething and it's often frustrating and painful．Chewing objects can ease the pain．（37）G．
What types of bones are beneficial？
Certain bones are known to cause internal problems and should never be given to your dogs．Avoid poultry（家禽） bones because they have a tendency to get stuck in a dog's digestive tract（消化道）．（38）B．Raw bones are widely debated．Many owners insist that it is perfectly safe to give dogs raw bones while experts suggest that these bones are not healthy due to the collagen（胶原蛋白） in the bones．Dogs cannot digest collagen．

（36）BTry the following steps：
Calm yourself．（37）FYou can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature，or someone you love．
Don't wait for an apology．Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize．They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way．（38）GKeep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you．
Take the control away from your offender（冒犯者）．Rethinking about you hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain．Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings，learn to look for the love，beauty and kindness around you．
（39）DIf you understand your offender，you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness，fear，and even love．You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view．
