A Proposal
My fellow students，
These days，it is frequently reported that students in the disaster-hit areas are desperately lacking educational resources．
…
So，my dear friends，I sincerely hope that you will support my proposal and join us．

10．SCIENTISTS study it； an increasing number of self-help books tell us the way to find it．In fact，the pursuit of happiness has been called the ultimate （根本的） goal in life by countless talks，TV shows and newspaper and magazine columns．（31）A
US psychologist Ed Diener，author of Happiness：Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth，may have the answer："a combination of life satisfaction and having more positive than negative emotions"．（32）C And as The Washington Post argued in an article earlier this month，creating a definition of happiness that is true for people around the world can seem as difficult as being happy．
For example，who is happier：someone who has enough money to buy a new mobile phone or someone who has a family dinner after years away from home？
（33）EThe UN's World Happiness Report 2015shows that countries with the highest levels of happiness are developed ones，with Switzerland，Iceland and Denmark making up the top three．But on the other hand，Bhutan，one of the poorest countries in the world，was named the happiest country in Asia and the eighth happiest in the world in research by Business Week in 2012．
Perhaps the biggest problem is how the idea of"happiness"varies in different cultures and languages．
（34）D It might mean a brief mood you feel when someone surprises you with a gift or you think of friends and family．Or it could refer to satisfaction with your life．But not all languages refer to happiness the same way．In Danish，for example，happiness is often translated as"lykke"，a term that can describe everyday well-being that might come from a nice cup of coffee or a slice of bread with cheese．
In Chinese，the word for happiness is xingfu，which is used to describe a good life and a life with meaning．For a good mood，however，kuaile is used more often．
（35）F In China and many other Asian countries，social relationships，with family in particular，are one of the most important factors in a person's well-being．
So，are you happy？And what makes you happy？

A．However，happiness，as it was before，is still hard to find．
B．Therefore，happiness is what people are eager for all their lives
C．But different people have different their own standards．
D．As The Washington Post noted，the word"happy"can refer to different things in English．
E．Nevertheless，one of the most important parts of happiness is wealth．
F．However，this may sound straightforward enough，but it still doesn't explain what
determines people's happiness．
G．Another difference in the perception （看法） of happiness is that Western countries tend to have quite an"individualistic view of human life"．

9．I don't ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again．There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it's like to work in a field dominated by men．I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting．What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe，the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes．
At 19，when I began studying astrophysics，it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom．But while earning my Ph．D．at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research，the issue started to bother me．My every achievement-jobs，research papers，awards-was viewed through the lens of gender （性别） politics．So were my failures．Sometimes，when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus （相对于） right brain，or nature versus nurture （培育），I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind．
Then one day a few years ago，out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations（刺激）：I don't talk about that anymore．It took me 10years to get back the confidence I had at 19and to realize that I didn't want to deal with gender issues．Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist After all，I don't study sociology or political theory．
I research and teach at Barnard，a women's college in New York City．Recently，someone asked me how many of the 45students in my class were women．You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer，45．I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children．And I don't dismiss those concerns．Still，I don't tell them"war"stories．Instead，I have given them this：the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments．And in turn they have given me the image of 45women driven by a love of science．And that's a sight worth talking about．
27．Why doesn't the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again？C
A．She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields．
B．She is not good at telling stories of the kind．
C．She is fed up with the issue of gender prejudice．
D．She finds space research more important．
28．From Paragraph 2，we can infer that people would say the author's failures were due toD．
A．the burden she bears in a male-dominated society
B．her involvement in gender politics
C．her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist
D．the very fact that she is a woman
29．What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph．D．and post-doctoral research？B
A．Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science．
B．People's stereotyped （模式化的） attitude toward female scientists．
C．Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle．
D．Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurture．
30．What does the image the author presents to her students suggest？A
A．Women can balance a career in science and having a family．
B．Women have more barriers on their way to academic success．
C．Women students needn't have the concerns of her generation．
D．Women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career．

8．American folk music is the music of the people．"Good Night Irene，"is an example of a traditional folk song．That means the song is so old，no one really knows who wrote it．Huddie Ledbetter，the singer and guitarist known as Ledbelly，first recorded"Good Night Irene"in 1932．Since then more than a hundred other versions have been recorded．"Good Night Irene，"was a huge hit for the Weavers in 1950．
Folk songs sometimes tell stories about real events．An example is the story of a young man whose last name was spelled D-U-L-A but pronounced"Dooley"．Tom Dula was a Civil War soldier in North Carolina．He was found guilty of the murder of his girlfriend．He was hanged in 1868，yet the case left many questions．The story was retold in poems and songs---including the hit song，"Tom Dooley，"recorded in 1958by the Kingston Trio．
Folk singer and songwriter Amy Speace says the history of American folk music can be imagined as a tree with many branches．At the center，she says，is Woody Guthrie．Woody Guthrie wrote almost 3，000songs．But he only recorded about 300of them．His granddaughter Anna Canoni says that was partly because he did not have enough money to record more．
Yet for all his influence，millions of Americans today remember him for just one song，which children learned in school．The song，"This Land is Your Land，"seems like the perfect expression of pride in country．What many people do not know is that it was meant sarcastically，as just the opposite．This meaning is made clear later in the song，in the parts that most children never learn in school．
Some people probably think of a folk singer out of date from the 1960s．A long-haired，guitar-playing idealist sings about bringing the world together．But these days，with music production software，digital video and social networks all easily available，folk artists really can bring the world together．
24．What do we know about"Good Night Irene"？D
A．Ledbelly wrote this old song
B．The Weavers'version was very successful
C．It was first recorded in 1950
D．It was about a real event

C．recorded his songs with a major record company
D．played an important role in the history of folk music
26．What is the author's attitude toward folk artists？A
A．Favorable
B．Uncaring
C．Doubtful
D．Critical．
