2.Would you ever hug a stranger?There's actually a social activity of offering hugs to strangers in public places.It's known as the Free Hugs Campaign.The hugs are meant to be random(随机的) acts of kindness-selfless acts performed just to make others feel better.The person offering the hugs often makes a sign that reads"FREE HUGS",then holds it up in the street and waits for someone to ask for a hug.

The activity was started by Australian Juan Mann in 2004.Juan had been living in London for almost 10 years when he decided to return to Sydney after his girlfriend decided to leave him.On landing,he had nothing but his suitc ase.After about three months,an old friend invited him to a party.In an interview with WHO magazine,Juan said that while he was at the party,"…a completely random person I didn't know came up to me and gave me a hug.I felt like a king!It was the greatest thing that ever happened."Then,he had an idea.
On 30th June 2004,Juan made a sign with the words FREE HUGS and offered his first hugs in the center of the main shopping district in Sydney."For the first 15 minutes,people just stared right through me.But then a woman tapped me on the shoulder and told me she needed a hug as one of her relatives had passed away,"said Juan.
Things really took off after a FREE HUGS video was uploaded to YouTube.While in Sydney,Juan met an American musician,Shimon Moore,who filmed Juan giving away free hugs and later used what he had shot to make a music video for the song All the Same by his band The Sick Puppies.The video was later uploaded to YouTube,where it has been viewed over 70 million times.
As a result of the video,the Free Hugs activity became international and then developed to China,Italy,America,Switzerland,Norway,India,Portugal and the UK.An International Free Hugs Day was set on the first Saturday following 30th June as this was the date of the first time that Juan ever offered free hugs in Sydney.
52.What is the purpose of the Free Hugs Campaign?To show kindness to others and make them feel better
53.What gave Juan Mann the idea of offering free hugs?A stranger's hug which cheered him up
54.How did Shimon Moore help Juan's activity become well-known?By filming Juan's activity to make a music video and uploading it to YouTube.

10.Almost everyone suffers from a headache (61)occasionally(occasional).But some people suffer from repeated,frequent headaches.
What is headache?What causes it?What can you done about a headache?What research is being done on headaches?The dictionary defines headache simply (62)as"a pain in the head".(63)Whatmost people mean by headache (64)is(be) a pain that lasts several minutes or hours.It covers the whole head,or one side of it,or perhaps the front or the back of the head.To add to the confusion about a definition,some people call tight feeling in the head a headache.
A headache is important because (65)itcan be the first warning of a serious condition which probably could be controlled (66)if/whendiscovered early.If a person (67)removes(remove) the warning,day after day,with a pain-killer,he may pass the point of easy control.
A headache is important also because it disturbs people,(68)preventing(prevent) them from living a happy life.The (69)employer/employee(employ) with a headache does less work.In a flash of temper he may upset his fellow (70)guys(guy) or customers,causing a direct or indirect loss to his organization.The mother with a headache suffers and disturbs the family.She upsets her husband and children.
2.Art of living
Aristotle once wrote that"happiness is a state of activity".In other words,whether you are seeking lifelong satisfaction (33)ora few moments of good cheer,you have got to move forward.We've surveyed the experts and found four steps to take toward a sunny disposition(性格):
VALUE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
Over a 30-year period,University of Illinois researchers asked nearly 12,000people (34)howincome,education,political participation,volunteer activities,and close relationships affected their happiness.Reported Newsweek's Sharon Begley on the findings,"The highest level of happiness (35)is fond(find) with the most stable,longest,and most contented relationships."
EXPRESS YOURSELF
Singing aloud,talking to a stranger,raising your hand:All may increase a feeling of well-being,according to a study from Wake Forest University.Participants tracked their moods for two weeks and reported feeling happier when they were (36)more outgoing(outgoing).
SPEND MONEY ON OTHERS
The editors of forbes.com gave¥5 or¥20 randomly to 46 strangers.Half the group was told to spend money on (37)themselves,while the other half was told to spend it on others.Those who'd shared the wealth felt much happier at the end of the day than those who'd spent it on themselves.There was no difference in happiness between those who spent¥5 or¥0,suggesting that it's not how much money you spend,but how you spend it,(38)thatcan boost (提升) the spirit.
FOCUS ON THE POSITVE
Studies from the University of Pennsylvania's Positive Psychology Center show (39)thatnegative-minded people who wrote down three good things that happened to them each day for six months reported an (40)improved(improve) outlook.
3.Green is an important color in nature.It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees.It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes,the word green means young,fresh and growing.Sometimes,it describes something that is not yet ripe(成熟的) or finished.
For example,a greenhorn is someone who has no experience,who is new to a situation.In the 15th century,a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed.A century or so later,a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle.By the 18th century,a greenhorn had the meaning it has today---a person who is new in a job.
About 100years ago,greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west.Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities back east.The greenhorn lacked the skills he would need to live in the west.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb.The expression comes from the early 1900s.A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well.You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion,jealousy(嫉妒).The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space.It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play"Othello."
It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants.A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else.Or,that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not.
In most places in the world,a green light is a signal to move ahead.A green light on a traffic signal means your car can continue on.In everyday speech,a green light means approval to continue with a project.

A.be good at growing plants           B.get along well with others
C.be a soldier in the 16th century    D.have no experience in doing something

A.a green thumb   B.a green light
C.a greenhorn     D.a green-eyed monster
