It is a hot summer day,and you feel thirsty. A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade. How do you feel when you see the glass? Will you describe your feeling as happiness or as pleasure? I believe you will say it is a feeling of pleasure. There is a connection between these two kinds of feelings and sometimes one causes the other,but they are not the same. Pleasure is more dependent on the five senses while happiness is independent of them.

When you are happy, little unpleasant events usually do not disturb you. When you are unhappy, you feel as iP everything is against you. You may compensate for it by eating chocolates and sweets because this gives you pleasure, yet you stay unhappy. A person may smoke cigarettes because it gives him pleasure, yet this does not make him happier4 especially if he knows the fact that it is not good for his health.

The physical world is always in a changing state. At each moment a new thing is being created, changed, transformed and then destroyed. This Ls the normal state of things and no one can change it. If we stay still in a cer?tain state, we are sure to experience unhappiness sooner or later. On the other hand, if we adjust to the environment, nothing can influence our moods. Then outer events have nothing to do with our inner joy of mind.

The room of the mind is filled with worry or fear. If you are free of thinking about them, the room has been emptied,and then you will see what is happening and experience it. When your mind stays quiet, you will see that happiness comes from the inside.

12.  What does the underlined phrase "compensate for" in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?

  A.  To make a suitable payment for.

B.  To let out your anger for.

C.  To provide with a balancing effect for.

D.  To solve the problems for.

13.  According to the passage, in which of the following situations can you feel happy?

  A.  A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade when you feel thirsty.

B.  You eat chocolates and sweets when you feel as if everything is against you.

C.  Smoke cigarettes even though you knew the fact that it is not good for your health.

D.  You are free from worry or fear when your mind stays quiet.

14.  We can learn from the passage______ .

  A.  happiness is more dependent on the five senses

B.  pleasure sometimes arouses happiness

C.  you feel happy when nothing around you changes in a certain state

D.  you feel unhappy because you have to adjust to the environment

15.  Which can be the best title for the passage?

A. Pleasure leads to happiness    B.  Happiness changes us

C..Happiness is within us       D.  Stay a quiet mind

We live in a sweet world. The average American kids eat more than 20 teaspoons of sugar per day, and adults eat 50% more sugar today thati they did in the 1970s. We all know that too much sugar isn^t good for us. But did we know it could be dangerous? A team of researchers at the University of Utah used mice to do a study on the bad effects of sugar. They found it could have serious effects on people's health.

Sugar is found not only in sweets and candies, but also in many house?hold items like pasta and crackers.

During the 58-week-long study, mice were fed a diet containing 25% more sugar. This percentage equals a healthy human diet along with three cans of soda daily. The team found that these mice were twice as likely to die as mice fed a similar diet without the sugar. Though the mice did not show signs of obesity or high blood pressure, male mice produced 25% fewer offspring (后代)than the other mice.

Scientists often use mice for research because they have a similar genetic(基因的)structure to humans. "Since most substances (物质)that are danger?ous in mice are also dangerous in people, it's likely that those physical prob?lems that cause those mice to have increased deaths also work in people," says study author James Ruff of the University of Utah. Findings from this study show bad effects that are not as noticeable as weight gain or heart problems. Sugar can contribute to long-term changes in the body that can change development and even shorten lives.

Cutting sugar out of the American diet altogether may be difficult. But making the effort to control our nation's sugar need will provide for a truly sweeter future.

12.  The study done by researchers aimed at learning about____ .

  A.  the advantages and disadvantages of sugar

B.  the bad effects of sugar on people's health

C.  the genetic structure of mice

D.  American's eating habits

13.  According to the study, which of the following statements is WRONG?

  A.  Sugar can even shorten lives.

B.  Sugar's bad effects are not noticeable.

C.  Eating much more sugar can make mice put on weight and get high blood pressure.

D.  Mice are more likely to die when fed a diet containing 25 % more sugar.

14.  From the passage we can infer______ .

  A.  sugar plays a very important role in Americans' diet

B.  kids eat more sugar than adults in America

C.  the study on human beings lasted 58 weeks

D.  the genetic structure of mice is totally different from that of people

15.  Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. Living a sweet life           B. Kids eat much more sugar

C. Genetic structure of humans       D. Danger of too much sugar

                                 C

Dr Julie Coulton, a British psychologist,focuses her research on the ex?traordinary function of the play in the physical and spiritual development of children and Martti Bergson from the University of Helsinki shows that pla?ying outside, in the open air, contributes to a better development of the brain.

Thus parents must encourage their children to spend as much time as possible in the open air, and at the same time, to ask schools and kindergar?tens to assure the small playground outside. Recent statistics (数据)and studies show an alarming increase of the number of hours spent by children in front of the TV and the computer and a decrease of the time spent out?side.

As a consequence more and more children suffer from eye problems and have to wear glasses. Also the problem of fatness among children concerns many parents who don't know what to do to make their children eat healthy and balanced.

Children need a space where to develop their creativity and parents should encourage them all the time. Too many rules hold back the children's personality and creativity and prevent them developing the desire to know, to find out, to learn.

If you tell your child so many times ： " Don't do that, don't mess the room, don't go there... ，，， he will lose the desire to do something, even any?thing. Parents must watch their children without suffocating(窒息)them. Should you consider they mustn't do that or this, you have to logically ex?plain them your reasons and they will understand.

Through playing a child learns how to communicate, how to take deci?sions. Playing is connected to the intellectual, emotional and social progress of the child. Playing lets your children learn how to express their feelings.

9. What is worrying the scientists is that    . •

A.  most parents pay no attention to their children's playing

B.  most schools and kindergartens have no playgrounds

C.  most parents encourage their children to watch TV or go surfing

D.  most children spend more time on TV or the Internet than on playing outside

 10.  Children who watch TV or surf the Internet too much may suffer all the

following EXCEPT_________ .

A. eye problems                  B. weight problems

C. lack of creativity            D. lack of interest in their lessons

11.  The author advises, us_____ .

  A.  to allow children to do whatever we want them to do

B.  never to forbid children to do anything they want to do

C.  to explain why when you don't let children do something

D.  to watch children playing anytime to ensure their safety

12.  Which would be the best title for this passage? ^C3f

  A.  How to develop the brain of your children better

B.  Playing is good for your children in many aspects

  ROCK/ALTERNATIVE
