10．One day，when I was working as a psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up in my office．It was David．He kept walking up and down restlessly，his face pale，and his hands shaking slightly．His head teacher had referred him to me．"This boy has lost his family，"he wrote．"He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others，and I'm very worried about him．Can you help？"
I looked at David and showed him to a chair．How could I help him？There are problems psychology doesn't have the answer to，and which no words can describe．Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically．
The first two times we met，David didn't say a word．He sat there，only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me．I suggested we play a game of chess．He nodded．After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without looking at me．It's not easy to cheat in chess，but I admit I made sure David won once or twice．
Usually，he arrived earlier than agreed，took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down．It seemed as if he enjoyed my company．But why did he never look at me？
"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with，"I thought．"Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering．"Some months later，when we were playing chess，he looked up at me suddenly．
"It's your turn，"he said．
After that day，David started talking．He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club．He wrote to me a few times，about his biking with some friends，and about his plan to get into university．Now he had really started to live his own life．
Maybe I gave David something．But I also learned that one-without any words-can reach out to another person．All it takes is a hug，a shoulder to cry on，a friendly touch，and an ear that listens．

47．When he first met the author，DavidC．
A．felt a little excited

20．We know that sugary sodas aren't good for our bodies．Now it turns out that they may not be good for our minds，either．A new study of more than 260，000 people has found a link between sweetened soft-drinks and depression，and diet sodas may be making matters worse．
Americans drink far more sodas than people in other countries-as much as 170 liters per person per year．But the impact of this study isn't limited to the United States．"Sweetened drinks，coffee and tea are commonly consumed worldwide and have important physical consequences．And they may have important mental-health consequences as well，"study author Dr Honglei Chen said in a statement．
The study studied 263，925 people between the ages of 50 and 71．Researchers followed their consumption of drinks like soda，tea coffee，and other soft drinks from 1995 to 1996 and then.10 years later，asked them if they had been diagnosed with depression since the year 2000．More than 11，3000 of them had．
Participants who drank more than four servings of sodas per day were 30 percent more likely to develop depression than participants who did not drink sodas at all．People who stuck with fruit punch（鸡尾酒），had a 38 percent higher risk than people who didn't drink sweetened drinks．And all that extra sugar isn't the actual problem．Researchers say that the artificial sweetener aspartame may be to blame．
The study found a link but could not surely determine whether sodas and other sweet soft drinks cause depression．Still，the results"are consistent with a small but growing body of evidence suggesting that artificially sweetened beverages may be linked to poor health outcomes．"
But there's a bright side for those who can't live without their daily sodas．Adults who drank coffee had a 10 percent lower risk of depression compared to people who didn't drink any coffee，according to the study．"Our research suggests that cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk，"said Chen．

41．What has the new study of more than 260，000 people found？C
A．Sugary sodas aren't good for the physical health of old people．
B．Americans have a special tooth for sweet foods．
C．Sweetened soft-drinks may increase the risk of depression．
D．Sweetened soft-drinks have important physical consequences．
42．What do we know about the process of the study？D
A．About twenty-six thousand people participated in it．
B．The oldest participants were below 80 when the study was over．
C．Most of the participants had depression when the study was over．
D．The study lasted more than ten years from the beginning to the end．
43．We infer that the underlined word"aspartame"in Paragraph 4 refers to something thatD
A．can reduce the harm of sweetened drinks
B．is used to reduce the risk of depression
C．is mainly used to make fruit punch
D．is used to make something．sweet
44．It is implied in the passage thatA．
A．more research is needed to confirm the new findings
B．the new findings aren't consistent with any previous findings
C．cutting one's sodas intake will surely reduce one's depression
D．the new findings won't have an impact on people's drinking habits

B：Unsweetened coffee．
C．Sugary coffee．
D．Fruit punch．

18．Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness，happiness，goodness，and self-respect？The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as"honor"help you create this life of good feelings．
Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness．
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item．If we keep silent，and profit from the clerk's mistake，we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement．Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune．On the other hand，if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item，the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty．We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul．
Then，what is it to do with our sense of happiness？
In the first case，where we don't tell the clerk，a couple of things would happen．Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief．In the process，we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect．We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted，since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends．We damage our own reputations by telling others．In contrast，bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen．Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable．Upon leaving the store，we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased．Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility．
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions．Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions．Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence．And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy．While the positive cycle can be difficult to start，once it's started，it's easy to continue．Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind，which is important for our happiness．

51．According to the passage，the positive action in the example contributes to ourA．
A．self-respect 
B．financial rewards

D．friendly relationship

C．asking the clerk to be more attentive

9．BANGKOK-The tiny island nation of Tuvalu has promised to do its part for climate change by fueling its economy entirely from renewable sources by 2020．
The South Pacific nation of 12，000people is part of a movement of countries and cities committed to going climate neutral．Since February 2008，10nations have promised to reduce their emission（释放）of greenhouse gases as part of a goal of reaching zero emissions in the next decade．
None of these commitments alone is expected to make a significant difference in the fight to cut heat-trapping gases．But the moves can inspire bigger emitters（排放者）like the United States to take further steps to limit their carbon footprints．
Climate scientists have urged rich countries to reduce emissions from 2005levels by between 25percent and 40percent by 2020to avoid the worst effect of warming．For its parts，Tuvalu hopes to replace the fossil fuels that are imported by ship with solar energy and wind power soon．
Tuvalu already emits almost no greenhouse gases．But because of climate change，many South Pacific islands see worsening flooding．The country is just 10square miles in size，with most of its land less than a meter above sea level．
So far，Tuvalu has equipped a 40-kilowatt solar energy system with the help of Japan's Kansai Electric Power Co．and Tokyo Electric Power Company．The Tuvalu government is working to expand the $410，000project from 40to 60kilowatts，and will extend solar power to outer islands．
"We thank those countries who are helping Tuvalu reduce its carbon footprint，"Public Utilities and Industries Minister Kausea Natano said．"And we look forward to the day when our nation offers an example to all-powered entirely by natural resources such as the sun and the wind．"

53．What is the main energy source in Tuvalu at present？B
A．Solar energy
B．Imported fossil fuels
C．Wind powder
D．Local fossil fuels
54．For Tuvalu，the biggest trouble now is thatA．
A．it is under threat from rising sea level
B．it lacks enough natural resources
C．Climate change affects its economy
D．it lacks clean power equipment
55．What can we learn from the passage？C
A．It is impossible for Tuvalu to realize its goal．
B．The world will see zero emissions in ten years．
C．Tuvalu imports technology to reduce emissions．
D．Big countries haven't started to reduce emissions．
56．The best title for the passage might be"D"．
A．Climate change threatens small island nations
B．island nations urge big countries to reduce emission
C．Countries unite to reduce greenhouse gases
D．An island nation will only use green power．
