【题目】Do you spirits soar (猛增) on a sunny day? Do you relax at the sound of flowing water?

Some scientists suggest that these contacts with nature are good for your health. In one study, hospital patients with a view of trees had shorter hospital stays and less need for pain medications. Another study indicated that prisoners with a view of the outdoors had fewer doctor visits.

“Why the desire for nature? Maybe we’re programmed to need it, since our ancestors’ survival was so dependent on their connection with nature,” suggests biologist E.O.Wilson.

Want to find out if contact with nature improves your outlook on life? Try a few of these ideas.

Hang out a bird feeder and watch the birds that visit it.

Sit down in the backyard or a nearby park. Close your eyes. What do you hear? Birds singing? The wind in the trees? Crickets(蟋蟀) chirping?

Find an anthill. Sit down and watch the ants work.

Take a walk right after a rainstorm. What looks different? Smells different?

Go barefoot on a sandy beach.

Open the curtains and the window, if the weather allows it.

On a windy day, watch the trees.

Go to a creek, river or park fountain. Listen to the sound of water in motion.

Camp out in the backyard or at a nearby state park. Use a tent or sleep on the ground.

Find a wide-open space to study the stars. Learn about the different constellations(星座).

Raise a garden. Or plant some seeds in a flowerpot.

Go hiking with your family. Talk about all of the colors you see in nature.

【题目】阅读下面的文字，完成下列各题。

她不是鲁镇人。有一年的冬初，四叔家里要换女工，做中人的卫老婆子带她进来了，头上扎着白头绳，乌裙，蓝夹袄，月白背心，年纪大约二十六七，脸色青黄，但两颊却还是红的。卫老婆子叫她祥林嫂，说是自己母家的邻舍，死了当家人，所以出来做工了。四叔皱了皱眉，四婶已经知道了他的意思，是在讨厌她是一个寡妇。但是她模样还周正，手脚都壮大，又只是顺着眼，不开一句口，很像一个安分耐劳的人，便不管四叔的皱眉，将她留下了。试工期内，她整天的做，似乎闲着就无聊，又有力，简直抵得过一个男子，所以第三天就定局，每月工钱五百文。

大家都叫她祥林嫂；没问她姓什么，但中人是卫家山人，既说是邻居，那大概也就姓卫了。她不很爱说话，别人问了才回答，答的也不多。直到十几天之后，这才陆续的知道她家里还有严厉的婆婆；一个小叔子，十多岁，能打柴了；她是春天没了丈夫的；他本来也打柴为生，比她小十岁：大家所知道的就只是这一点。

日子很快的过去了，她的做工却丝毫没有懈，食物不论，力气是不惜的。人们都说鲁四老爷家里雇着了女工，实在比勤快的男人还勤快。到年底，扫尘，洗地，杀鸡，宰鹅，彻夜的煮福礼，全是一人担当，竟没有添短工。然而她反满足，口角边渐渐的有了笑影，脸上也白胖了。

新年才过，她从河边掏米回来时，忽而失了色，说刚才远远地看见几个男人在对岸徘徊，很像夫家的堂伯，恐怕是正在寻她而来的。四婶很惊疑，打听底细，她又不说。四叔一知道，就皱一皱眉，道：

“这不好。恐怕她是逃出来的。”

她诚然是逃出来的，不多久，这推想就证实了。

此后大约十几天，大家正已渐渐忘却了先前的事，卫老婆子忽而带了一个三十多岁的女人进来了，说那是祥林嫂的婆婆。那女人虽是山里人模样，然而应酬很从容，说话也能干，寒暄之后，就赔罪，说她特来叫她的儿媳回家去，因为开春事务忙，而家中只有老的和小的，人手不够了。

“既是她的婆婆要她回去，那有什么话可说呢。”四叔说。

于是算清了工钱，一共一千七百五十文，她全存在主人家，一文也还没有用，便都交给她的婆婆。那女人又取了衣服，道过谢，出去了。其时已经是正午。

“阿呀，米呢？祥林嫂不是去淘米的么？……”好一会，四婶这才惊叫起来。她大约有些饿，记得午饭了。

于是大家分头寻淘箩。她先到厨下，次到堂前，后到卧房，全不见掏箩的影子。四叔踱出门外，也不见，一直到河边，才见平平正正的放在岸上，旁边还有一株菜。

看见的人报告说，河里面上午就泊了一只白篷船，篷是全盖起来的，不知道什么人在里面，但事前也没有人去理会他。待到祥林嫂出来淘米，刚刚要跪下去，那船里便突然跳出两个男人来，像是山里人，一个抱住她，一个帮着，拖进船去了。祥林嫂还哭喊了几声，此后便再没有什么声息，大约给用什么堵住了罢。接着就走上两个女人来，一个不认识，一个就是卫老婆子。窥探舱里，不很分明，她像是捆了躺在船板上。

“可恶！然而……。”四叔说。

这一天是四婶自己煮中饭；他们的儿子阿牛烧火。

午饭之后，卫老婆子又来了。

“可恶！”四叔说。

“你是什么意思？亏你还会再来见我们。”四婶洗着碗，一见面就愤愤的说，

“你自己荐她来，又合伙劫她去，闹得沸反盈天的，大家看了成个什么样子？你拿我们家里开玩笑么？”

“阿呀阿呀，我真上当。我这回，就是为此特地来说说清楚的。她来求我荐地方，我那里料得到是瞒着她的婆婆的呢。对不起，四老爷，四太太。总是我老发昏不小心，对不起主顾。幸而府上是向来宽洪大量，不肯和小人计较的。这回我一定荐一个好的来折罪……。”

“然而……。”四叔说。

于是祥林嫂事件便告终结，不久也就忘却了。

【题目】[1] Compared to people with bad attitudes, people _____ are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being positive helps the body fight illnesses.

[2] In a previous study, people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop coughs and other cold symptoms. People who showed positive feelings were also less likely to mention symptoms to their doctors, even when medical tests detected those symptoms.

[3] Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still possible that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.

[4] Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-esteem and a sense of control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, ultimately decides our chances of catching colds.

[5] To figure out which mattered more, personality or emotions, the researchers interviewed 193 healthy adults. The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the precious fortnight.

[6] Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive.

[7] Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are. For now, it can’t hurt to look on the bright side more often than not!

What’s the main idea of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)

Fill in the blank with proper words in the first paragraph. (Please answer within 10 words.)

Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

But their symptoms were closely related to the emotions they had claimed to have in the last two weeks.

Translate the underlined sentence in the third paragraph in to proper Chinese.

Suppose one of your friends have got infected with the H1N1 flu, give him/her at least 3 pieces of evidence. (Please answer within 30 words.)

【题目】 Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community, then we will have a better life. To that extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?

In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally prioritize caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned.

Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.

In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then. But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts.

Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.

In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.
