16.When someone is happy,can you smell it?
You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile,hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug.But can you also smell their happiness?Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent(气味),and that the experience of happiness can be spread through smell,reports Phys.org.
For the study,12young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them.All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers,and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period.
Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell,while researchers monitored their reactions.Only women were selected to smell the samples,apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling-though it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents.
Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents-particularly their facial expressions-suggested a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who smelled them.
"Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell,"said study co-author Gun Semin,a professor at Koc University in Turkey.
This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent,but that the scent can transmit the feeling to others.The study also found that other feelings,such as fear,seem to carry a scent too.This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative feelings have a smell,but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings.
Researchers have yet to isolate(分离) exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is,but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be.Happiness perfumes,for instance,could be invented.Scent therapies(香味疗法)could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety.
Perhaps the most surprising result of the study,however,is our broadened understanding of how feelings get communicated,and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.

27.What is the main finding of the new research?C
A.Men produce more sweats.
B.Negative feelings have a smell.
C.Pleasant feelings can be smelt out.
D.Women have a better sense of smell.
28.The underlined part"abstain from"in Paragraph 3 probably meansA.
A.avoid   B.practice     C.continue   D.try
29.What is the application value of the new research?B
A.Perfumes could help people understand each other.
B.Some smells could be developed to better our mood.
C.Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases.
D.Some smells could be created to improve our appearance.
30.We can learn from the last paragraph thatD.
A.happiness comes from a scent of sweat
B.positive energy can deepen understanding
C.people need more emotional communication
D.social surroundings can influence our emotions.

7.A handshake is one of the most common ways to greet others,but US President Donald Trump's unusual method has been put under the microscope lately.
Much like an armwrestler in a match,the recently-elected leader has a habit of yanking (猛拉) people's hands toward himself during handshakes.And while a typical handshake is only brief,the one between him and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Feb 10 lasted a full 19 seconds.
Simply having a strong hand is not the explanation here.According to Darren Stanton,a body language expert from the UK,while handshakes are usually an exchange of kindness,Trump uses his as a way to show power and control,regardless of how uncomfortable it makes people."It is as if to say,‘Hey,I'm in charge,don't mess with me,'"Stanton told The Independent.
Apart from Trump's"yank-shake",there are other ways people display power with their hands.At business talks or political meetings,for example,some people may rotate (旋转) their wrists during handshakes so that their hand ends up on top instead of underneath.Some may squeeze so hard that it leaves the other person's hand in pain.
According to Stanton,by pulling people into his personal space,Trump is also testing w hether they are willing to cooperate with him."For example,if someone was resistant to being yanked towards him and stood their ground,he would know that he has work to do with them before he got what he wanted,"Stanton told Express.
This is probably why on Feb 13 when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited the White House,all eyes were on how he was going to handle Trump's handshake.Fortunately,Trudeau managed to avoid the embarrassment by grabbing Trump's shoulder to stop himself being pulled in.Afterward,some Twitter users wrote that this proved Trudeau's strong leadership,with one even calling the moment"one of Canada's greatest victories".
Vice magazine summed up the exchange between the two leaders as:"…no regular handshake.This was the first shot in a bloodless war."

25.According to Darren Stanton,Trump uses his"yank-shake"toA.
a.show his kindness              
b.gain control         
c.remind people of his status
d.see if people are cooperative

26.The phrase"stood their ground"in Paragraph 5 probably meansB.

B.standing still     
C.turning around  
D.pulling out
27.According to the text,the way Trudeau reacted to Trump's handshakeB.
A.annoyed Trump         
B.displayed his power
C.was considered rude          
D.was likely to start a war
28.What can be concluded from the text?C
A.Some people spin their wrists during handshakes to show extra respect.
B.Handshakes are the most preferable way for political leaders to greet others.
C.The way someone shakes another person's hand can have different meanings.

1.I had all the usual child fears.I couldn't go to sleep unless the light in my bedroom was on.I dreaded that someday when my mother was distracted,Crazy Betty would grab me in the grocery store.On the hottest summer nights,my feet had to be wrapped tightly in my bedsheets for fear that something might grab it in its cold,slimy claw.
But all other frights paled before the Great Fear,the Titanic of my childhood terrors.That fear was that something would happen to Monk-Monk.
Looking at Monk-Monk today,you wouldn't see what I see.You'd see an old,torn,discolored sock monkey with stuffing leaking from his short tail.I see my dearest childhood friend,my companion of a thousand nights.I bonded with him fiercely and rarely let him out of my sight.
And then Uncle Ken came to visit.He clearly thought it was pretty silly that a big first-grader was dragging a sock monkey around,and he teased me by saying he'd take Monk-Monk home to Ohio with him.I clutched(抓住) Monk-Monk more tightly.
I was at school a few days later when Uncle Ken left.When I came home,I couldn't find Monk-Monk
anywhere.I can hardly describe the depths of my panic.I don't think I cried; my terror was beyond that.I could barely breathe.Where was Monk-Monk?What has Uncle Ken done to him?Had Uncle Ken thrown him out of his car window?Was Monk-Monk lying in a weedy strip along the interstate,lonely and cold,never to be loved again?When I found Monk-Monk behind the sofa,I cried with relief.As far as I can remember,that near-loss of
Monk-Monk was my first encounter with real,deep-down fear.

5.Dear editor,
You can find language pollution whenever you open a newspaper or turn on your TV set,listen to a popular song at various advertisements.Language pollution exists almost everywhere and can be seen in the following places:
1.Chinese characters are written in the complex (复杂的 ) form.Although simplified(简化的) Chinese characters were accepted for use many years ago,it seems that more and more people like Chinese characters written in the complex form.
2.Many goods are produced in China but carry foreign names,which sound strange and have no meaning at all.
3.Words and expressions being used have a bad meaning."Ba"(霸),which means bully in Chinese,is one example.Now there are a lot of goods,restaurants,even factories or firms,with"Ba"in their names.
4.There are too many incorrect grammatical expressions.Some films have strange names and incorrect grammatical structures."Ai ni mei shang liang',which means"I love you without consulting",is grammatically incorrect and this kind of expression is now becoming popular.
Some language experts point out that language pollution must be done away with,which is an idea shared by myself and many others.
