Good health is the most precious thing in the world. When you have got it, you never think about it. When you haven’t got it, you think about it all the time. Our biggest enemies are not terrible, diseases and so on. We are our own biggest enemies because we sometimes destroy our own good health. Some of us eat too much, drink too much and smoke too much. And though our reason tells us we should control ourselves, we find it difficult. The fact is that most human beings need stimulation. Who doesn’t enjoy a drink after a busy day? Only a smoker knows the pleasure of a cigarette with a cup of coffee.

So far so good. The danger is when these innocent pleasure run our lives and so destroy our health. When you find yourself eating between meals or eating too much rich food, when you can only keep yourself going by taking frequent drinks or by smoking one cigarette after another, then it’s time to stop and think what you might be doing to yourself. The funny thing is that when we don’t control ourselves, simple pleasures are no longer simple pleasures.

All right, I know what you’re thinking. You’re probably saying: “It’s all very well for him to talk, but I can’t help myself. I need that extra bit of food, that extra drink, that extra cigarette. Life has so many pressures that I can’t manage without them. ” But I’m saying you can help yourself. Not only that you must help yourself. Because if you don’t help yourself, no one else can. So be your own best friend.

60. In the writer’s view, the most precious thing in the world is ________.

A. time B. work C. friendship D. good health

61. This passage is mainly about _________.

A. terrible diseases B. pleasures after a busy day

C. the danger of too much drinking, smoking and eating

D. the difficulty of controlling ourselves

62. “I can’t help myself” means _________.

A. I can’t do it myself B. I must ask someone for help

C. I can’t control myself D. Do help me , please

63. Which of the following expresses the writer’s advice?

A. Have a drink after a busy day. B. Have a cigarette with a cup of coffee.

　　It feels good to be happy．Laughing is fun．And most people like to have a good time．“If you ask people what they want for their children, most say,‘I want them to be happy,’”says happiness researcher Sonja Lyubomirsky．

　　Not that long ago, however, joy wasn't considered serious enough for psychologists to study．These scientists traditionally helped people with depression or other mental illnesses．“When I started doing research on this 18 years ago,”Lyubomirsky says, “happiness was not considered a scientific topic．”But today, happiness is a hot subject of research．As part of a growing field called positive psychology, more and more researchers are looking for ways to help people become happier, even if they don't feel depressed to begin with．

　　There are plenty of reasons why happiness is a worthy goal．Recent studies suggest that, among other benefits, happy people are healthier, have more friends, and make more money than their sadder peers．Research also suggests that there are easy things people can do to make themselves happier．

　　The field of positive psychology has had to overcome significant obstacles(障碍)．For one thing, it's difficult to scientifically measure happiness．It's also hard to compare one person's sense of well-being with another's“No one can tell you how happy you are,”Lyubomirsky says．“Who's to say who's right?”

　　In recent years, however, researchers have developed what they consider to be one possible measurement of happiness．One technique involves looking at how often people genuinely smile in their daily lives．It's easy to tell real smiles from the fake smiles．Genuine smiles engage the corners of the eyes and involve muscles around the mouth that fake smilers can't control．

　　Scientists also sometimes look at images of the brain for clues：an area of one's brain tends to work harder in the people who are happier．

(1)

The underlined word“this”in Paragraph 2 refers to ________．
[　　]
A．	depression
B．	mental illness
C．	the scientific topic
D．	happiness

(2)

What problem does positive psychology face?
[　　]
A．	People often compare their happiness with others'．
B．	People don't believe those who say they are happy．
C．	People have no scientific standard for happiness．
D．	People are reluctant to tell how happy they are．

(3)

Which of the following would be one possible way to measure happiness according to the passage?
[　　]
A．	By counting times of people's real smiles．
B．	By looking into the corners of the eyes．
C．	By noticing whether muscles around the mouth move．
D．	By taking a picture of a person's head．

“Find a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Do you agree with this old saying? Joanne Gordon does. She is the author of Be Happy at work and other books about careers(职业). Gordon believes that about 30% of employees(雇员) in North America do not like their jobs, and she thinks that is terrible. She wants to help people who do not feel satisfied with their jobs find work that is good for them. Joanne says, “There are no happy jobs, only happy workers.” She believes that happy workers share three main characteristics.

First, happy workers enjoy the daily activities of their jobs, and they look forward to the workday. Take Tony Hawk, for example. At age 14, he became a professional skateboarder. Now he is a businessman working on projects related to skateboarding—films and video games, but he still skates every day. He once said, “My youngest son’s pre-school was recently asked what their dads do for work. My son said, ‘I’ve never seen my dad do work.’” Tony agrees that his job doesn’t look like work. He has found a way to spend each day doing a job he enjoys.

Second, happy workers like the people they work with. Sally Ayote says, “I work with the coolest people in the world.” She and her group cook for almost 1,200 people in Antarctica. Most of these people are scientists who are doing research. Sally loves to sit and talk with them. She says, “There is no television here, no radio, so I get to know the scientists and what they’re studying.” Sally thinks she has a great job, and the best part about it is the people.

Third, happy workers know that their work helps others. Caroline Baron’s work helps people who have had to leave their home countries because of war or other dangers. She is a filmmaker who started an organization called FilmAid, which shows movies in refugee(难民) camps around the world. Caroline believes that movies can be very helpful in these camps. For one thing, entertaining movies let refugees forget their troubles for a little while. Movies can also teach important subjects like health and safety. For example, in one camp, thousands of refugees saw a movie about how to get clean water. Caroline knows that is helping other people, and this makes her feel proud and happy about her work.

Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron all get great satisfaction from their work. Tony Hawk says, “Find the thing you love. If you are doing what you love, there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous.” Joanne Gordon would agree. She encourages people to find something they enjoy doing, find people they like to work with, and find ways to help others. Then they can be proud of what they do, and they will probably be happy at work.

B. Because Tony Hawk always finds something enjoyable in his job.

D. Because the best part about his job is to spend each day skating.

3.Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron are good examples that show us ____________.

A. how to be a successful businessman

B. how to help people in difficulties

　　As the economy begins to recover, salary increases should do the same．

　　In the past few years, employers have raised workers’ salaries by about 4 percent per year-except for 2009, when the figure dropped to 2.1 percent, according to a survey of world at Work．About one-third of companies froze raises altogether．

　　For 2010, world at Work’s survey projects an average salary increase budget of 2.7 percent, a figure that shows the situation has improved but the job market is still weak．Between 10 percent and 15 percent of companies said they would freeze raises-far fewer than in 2009, but still more than in most years．

　　How can you get a rise? Avalos and others offer the following tips：

　　*Do your job well．This means producing high-quality work, of course, but also keeping the big picture in mind．．

　　“It really comes down to positioning yourself as a high performer, somebody who is aware of business goals and helps the company meet their goals as an organization,” Avalos said．

　　*Be visible．When times are hard, some workers think, “I’m going to down and hope that nobody notices me, because I don’t want to be on a layoff(解雇)list,” said Richard Phillips, owner of Advantage Career Solutions．This is a mistake, because you’re unlikely to get a rise if no one knows what you have done．“If anything, what you want to do is to be more visible．”

　　*Make your boss’s life easier．This means everything from having a good attitude to taking on extra tasks．If you don’t know how you can help your boss, ask．

　　*Ask for a rise．Talk to your boss and present your case：Here’s what I’ve done, here’s how it fits with the company’s goals, here is why I think it’s worth a salary increase．In some cases, even if your company has an official raise freeze, you can get a rise if you make a good case．

　　If the answer is no-or if you’re not ready to ask directly-Phillips suggests asking, “What would you like to see from me that would put me in line for a rise?”

　　A question like this can improve your standing．“Just asking the question says to the boss, ‘I’m thinking about where I fit in here, what I can do’,” Phillips said．“That in and of itself has value．”

(1)

Employers have raised workers’ salaries by about ________ percent in 2007．
[　　]

The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ________．
[　　]
A．	You and what you have done have value．
B．	The question has its own value．
C．	The job you are doing is of its value．
D．	The salary rise has value．

All the statements are true EXCEPT ________．
[　　]
A．	s alary increases should recover as the economy does．

Sometimes children do not do what their parents tell them to do. When this happens, a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing. When this does not work, the parent usually punishes the child.
There are many things that a parent can do. One thing that people have done is to spank (打屁股) the child. When a parent spanks a child, they will use their hand or a hard object to strike them on their bottom. This is meant to show the child that they have done something wrong.
One parent remembers being spanked when he was a child. His parents used a wooden spoon. When he spanked his own children with his hand, he saw that he put a red mark on his child’s leg. He never did that again.
One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing. Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard. Sometimes parents will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing.
Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking. Some people think that their religion tells them that spanking is okay. Some think that the law lets them do it. The courts (法院) say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave.
Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child. Telling the child exactly what is wanted from them can be one thing. Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried. Getting down to the child’s level and taking a more child-friendly approach (方法) can help as well.
【小题1】According to the passage, when children do something wrong, one thing that parents usually do to punish them is to ________.
