Are healthy people happier than seriously ill ones? Not necessarily. In a study described in The Journal of experimental Psychology, a group of people with end-stage kidney(肾)failure were provided with electronic devices that required them to record their moods at various times throughout the day. For comparison, a group of healthy volunteers used the same devices. When researchers had studied the results, they found that the levels of happiness were about the same for the two groups.

The researchers, led by Dr. Jason Riis of Princeton when he was a graduate student at the University of Michigan, also found that the healthy people greatly overestimated how unhappy the sick ones would be. And the sick people overestimated how happy healthy ones would be.　

For the study, 49 kidney disease patients who were undergoing dialysis(透析)sections three times a week were given personal digital assistants, as 49 healthy volunteers were matched to the patients by age, race, education and sex. When the devices beeped, the subjects were asked to rate their mood on a 5-point scale, with 2 defined as “very pleasant” and minus 2 defined as “very unpleasant”. On average, the kidney patients rated their mood as 0.70, while the healthy subjects rated it as 0.83. The participants were also asked to describe other emotions they might be feeling, including joy and anxiety, and to describe their levels of physical comfort. And sometimes they were asked, “How do you feel about your life as a whole?”

A better understanding of how well people are able to adapt to poor health, the researchers said, could help doctors and patients make wiser choices about their medical care. Earlier studies have also found that seriously ill patients described themselves as being happy. But these patients were not given a chance to answer questions about their mood privately and repeatedly over a period of time, Dr. Riis said, and so it was unclear how accurate their responses were.

72.　 It can be learnt from the study that ______.

A. the electronic devices used are digital assistants for dialysis

B. all the subjects are of the same age, race, sex and education

C. the levels of happiness are little affected by health conditions

D. both patients and healthy people overestimate their own happiness

73.　 In the research, the subjects’ ratings of their mood levels were ______ on average.

A. vague　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. positive 　　　　　　　　 C. negative　　　　　　　 D. neutral

74.　 One of Dr. Riis’ concerns about the result of the research was whether ______.

A. it revealed the patients’ privacy 　　　　　　　　

B. it reflected what the patients really thought

C. the questions for the patients were repeated　　　　　　　　

D. the assignment for all subjects was accurate

75.　 The purpose of the research was ______.

A. to help patients adapt to poor health　　　　　　　　　　　

B. to learn patients’ average level of happiness

C. to define the extent to which health condition affects happiness

D. to find the distinction between the healthy and unhealthy people

Like the U. S., Sweden is addicted to oil. Unlike the U. S., it has a plan to kick the habit -and a deadline. By 2020, the country will no longer be dependent on fossil fuels; no home will need oil for heating, and no motorist will be obliged to use petrol as the only option available.

　 77.

Can Sweden do it? Probably. Back in 1970, before the fast Middle Fast energy crisis, Sweden got 77% of its energy from oil. By 2003, even though industrial production had risen dramatically, that figure had dropped to 34%. Part of the country’s impressive record comes as the result of its rich natural resources. The Sweden have access to large amounts of hydropower, large amounts of biomass and good conditions for increased use of wind power.　

　 78.

But that's not the only reason Sweden was rated the world's second greenest nation (just behind New Zealand) in a study issued at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Sweden’s leaders have passed laws that would be unthinkable for a U. S. politician-taxes on fuel and CO₂ emissions to urge car owners to trade in their cars for hybrids(混合动力汽车), for example, and tax exemptions(免税)for home owners who switch from oil heating to renewable energy. Indeed, while Americans are likely to complain about higher taxes, Swedes seem to embrace the idea of helping save the planet.

　 79.

Take, for example, Sweden’s nationwide rush to change cars from gasoline to fuels made from plant waste. Stations that sell alternative fuels are springing up all over the country, and fully 13% of new autos sold in February, the most recent month for which figures are available, can run on low-emission substances.

　 80.

What Americans might appreciate is the way local governments are encouraged to come up with their own strategies for meeting the national goals. For example, in Helsingborg, a coastal city of 121,000 people, buses run on biogas made from garbage and other organic waste from households and nearby farms. Some of these are small efforts, to be sure, but when an entire nation embraces a pledge to wean itself from oil, there's no reason it can't be done.

Section D

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

This article is designed to help you understand why you should always call the authorities to the scene of an accident in which you were injured and why the insurance company you may be facing will hate that you did so!

When you call the police to the scene of your accident, then the police will require the drivers involved to exchange insurance and identification information. The police may also obtain witness information and preserve statements about the event, including descriptions of what occurred and complaints of injury. All of this information will very likely assist you in the future with your claim and hurt the insurance company's ability to deny your claim. By calling the police, you have made an official record of the event and can be relatively sure that the information you receive about the other driver is accurate and truthful.

This official record will effectively prevent the other driver's insurance company from arguing that the incident did not occur or that their insured driver was not involved in the cause of your injuries. (Yes, insurance companies will deny responsibility at every opportunity, including whether their driver was even in the accident with you.)

Finally, statements from witnesses or the other driver may contain valuable facts that may be later forgotten or can be used to make up a "changed story." I don't know how many times I have been told by my clients that the other person admitted fault at the scene, but later hear from the insurance company that no such statement was made and that the cause of the accident was contested. (You may not be aware of this, but I will bet that your own automobile insurance card contains the following instruction: Do not admit fault for the accident. Remember, the insurance companies hate it when their drivers take responsibility for the accident because it damages their ability to deny or effectively defend your claim. After all, these companies are in business to make lots of money, not to pay it to you!) If you follow this rule, then you are a step ahead in the game and you will have a much better chance of successfully making your automobile accident personal injury claim.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)

81.　 The information related to a car accident is collected by the police to ______.

82.　 If witness statements are not recorded officially, the relevant facts may ______.

83.　 What can you do when you have called the police to the scene?

84.　 Why don’t the insurance companies want you to admit fault for the accident?

(A)

It was time for Mr. Rocco to shut up shop when I hurried into the florist’s. “Now, what is it you want?” Mr. Rocco turned to me. “I want the most beautiful flower you have.” I replied. “And just how much do you have to pay for his most beautiful flower?” I held out a wet hand showing a quarter and dime. He nodded, and then showed me a plant on the counter. “I can give you this one for 35 cents.” he said. “Aw, gee,” I protested, “it looks like a weed(草)!” About 18 inches high, the plant was in a small pot covered with faded red paper. “Now trust me, boy-I promise that tomorrow morning when you get up, you will find your most beautiful flower.” said Mr. Rocco. I knew him to be a good honest man, so I agreed to take it.

It was almost midnight when I arrived home. Mom was seriously sick and using the front bedroom. I looked in to see if she was asleep, and then quietly tiptoed in and set the plant on the table beside her bed. I wanted her to be surprised when she woke on Mother’s Day.

The next morning, I dressed and hurried downstairs. The sun was shining through kitchen window as I looked into Mom’s room. She motioned for me to come in, then glanced over at the table where the plant was. Holy mackerel! There were three big yellow trumpet-shaped(喇叭状的)blooms. It was just like Mr. Rocco said-the most beautiful flower I ever saw! When I looked at Mom, she was smiling as tears streamed down her cheeks. She held out her hand for me to come near, then pulled me close and hugged till it hurt. Then, remembering her contagious condition and that she wasn’t supposed to touch me, she quickly let me go.

My dear mom died the next night. The moment she hugged me turned out to be the most wonderful moment of my life. Not only had that beautiful plant helped show just how much I loved her, but I’d always know how much she loved me.

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Easter Island is a famous and very isolated island in the southeast Pacific Ocean. It is well-known for its giant stone statues, the moai, __41__ sometime between the years 1000 and 1700 – likely towards the earlier _42_ of that range. These statues number 887, and at one point there were about 10 islanders for every statue, for an island population of 10,000 or so.

The first and only people ever to live on Easter Island were from an __43__ group of Polynesians that, once finding Easter, then had no contact with any other __44__.

Easter Island is often taken as a case study of civilization’s collapse. In the 17th-18th century there was a __45__ decline in civilization. There were also numerous civil wars that would have been extremely bloody. Evidence indicates that chickens and rats became the __46__ diet of the islanders. By the time the Europeans arrived in 1722, there were barely 1,000 inhabitants on island.

Before the _47_ of Easter Island’s civilization in the 17th century, there was a Golden Age, during which the two-ton moai statues were constructed. These statues had eyes painted white and were all pointed towards the sea. The islanders lacked metal tools, and __48__ the statues using only stone tools. The statues were __49__ to their present locations by large wooden frames. Given how few people there were on the island and how huge the statues are, it has long been a mystery whether Easter Islanders had any special assistance from extraterrestrials(外星人).
