摘要: For each issue, which magazine is the cheapest according to the advertisement? A. The New Yorker B. Playboy C. Nickelodeon D. Lucky (4) Happiness pays off, studies show. Psychologists seeking the real secrets of happiness report that very happy people tend to be more extroverted and agreeable than less happy people. “Our findings suggest that very happy people have rich and satisfying social relationships and spend little time alone relative to average people, write psychologists Ed Diener and Martin E.P. Seligman in the journal Psychological Science. Solid social relationships do not promise happiness, but they are an important contributing factor. The very happy people whom the authors studied all said they had good quality social relationships. However, the authors write, there is no single key to high happiness. “High happiness seems to be like beautiful symphonicmusic-including many instruments, without any one being enough for the beautiful quality. Diener regards happiness as “subjective well-being ―in other words, the person evaluateshis or her own quality of life. The question to ask is, “Is my life going well.according to the standards I choose to use? If the answer is “yes , then that person is judged to be happy. Because people evaluate their lives based on happiness.“subjective well-being is very important. Though necessary, it is not enough for having a good life. Subjective well-being “seems quite necessary for the good society, although it is not enough for that society because there are other things we also value and would want in such a place, says Diener. Can subjective well-being be measured scientifically? Diener points out three parts contributing to happiness: pleasant emotions and moods, lack of negative emotions and moods, and satisfaction judgment, to which other factors-including cheerfulness and feelings of fulfillment-may be added. There is no magic formulafor happiness. Diener suggests steps you can take to ensure you are as happy as you can be. Surrounding yourself with good friends and family-people who care about you and whom you care about - is a start. Joining in activities you enjoy and value is also important; whether it’s work or play, keeping busy in an environment enjoyable to you will contribute much to your subjective well-being. In addition, a healthy outlook is necessary.

About 200 students were having a final exam in a huge lecture hall. Obviously the teacher wasn’t very well liked, who kept shouting out how much time was left.

    Anyway, everyone needed a fairly good  37  . Many students did poorly when rushed. One of the students thought that he must get a good grade, so he went on when the professor said “  38  down and hand in your exam sheets”.

Five minutes turned into ten, ten into twenty, twenty into forty…almost an hour   39    the test was over, our friend finally put down his pencil, gather up his work, and headed to the front to present his final. The whole time, the professor sat there, strangely waiting for the student to complete.

“What do you think you are doing?” It was clear that the professor had  40  only to give the student a  41   time.

“Turning in my exam,” replied the student confidently.

“I’m afraid I have some bad  42   for you,”the professor gloated(幸灾乐祸),“Your exam is an hour late. You’ve FAILED it. And I’ll see you next term when you  43   my course.”

The student smiled slyly(狡诈地) and asked the professor,“Do you know who I am?” “No,”cried out the professor   44  .

The student   45  the professor right in the eyes and said slowly, “I didn’t think so,” so he lifted up one of the   46   half way, put his test neatly into the center of the pile, let the pile fall  47  his test in the middle, turned around, and walked out of the huge lecture hall.

So long as teachers fail to distinguish(区别, 辨认) between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves.Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them.It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading.Douglas insists that“ reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.

   Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes.They differ in kind and function.The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read.Teaching is also public activity.It can be seen and observed.

   Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language.Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public observation.

   If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest(探索)for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions.“Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.”

When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and

learner fulfill them properly, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated(除去, 剔除).Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.

The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that _______.

       A.it is one of the most difficult school courses      

       B.students spend endless hours in reading

       C.reading tasks are assigned with little guidance

  A.teachers can improve conditions at school for the students

  B.teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading

       A.children become highly motivated          

       B.teacher and learner roles are interchangeable

       C.teaching helps children in the search for knowledge 

       D.reading enriches children’s experience

The main idea of the passage is that ______________.

  A.teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read

  B.teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible

  C.reading ability is something acquired rather than taught

D.reading is more complicated than generally believed

The month of May is not only a graduation month in the US, but also a month when some families hold reunions.Have you ever considered why it is important that families get together in one place for a particular time? I believe the reason is honor.

Family reunions are a time we can take out of our busy schedules and spend quality time with our extended families(大家庭).It is a time when we can make our sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and others we love a priority (首要事情)in our life.

Family reunions build a renewed closeness as we mix with our relatives.We sit and talk about old times and listen to the stories that our older and wiser relatives love to share.As the children run and play and get to know each other, we sit and revisit our childhood memories and enjoy the short time we have together.

The best part of a family reunion is the time spent simply being around the people you care about A reunion shows how important it is to take time for each other.When you receive a family reunion invitation, make it a priority in your life.It's a great chance to see your relatives once again, give them a big hug and enjoy the time you have with them.Life is too short not to!
