In fact, they say by the age of eighty-f
35、ive, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup(民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2010. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen an
36、d eighty-five.The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty
37、-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.
38、Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional pa
39、tterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness a
40、nd well-being related to age.The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men. 61. What can be the best title of the text?A. Happiness Varies with Ages B. Experience More, Worry Le

51、 Hall at The Star & Garter and Disco at The Lord NapierDIQUIQUE, Chile (Reuters) Rescue workers at the San Jose gold and copper mine in northern Chile had reason to sing this week. A small hole drilled into the earth became a passage to freedom for 33 trapped miners, who spent 69 days underground. “
52、Never have people been trapped for so long so deeply,” says a doctor at NASA, the American space agency, which helped in the rescue.But the chief medical officer for the miners said most are in good enough health to leave the hospital within a day or so. The first three recovered and went home Thurs
53、day night.For much of the day the miners relaxed with Chilean President Sebastian Pinera. The 32 Chileans and 1 Bolivian still wore special sunglasses to protect their eyes.A partial mine collapse on 5th August trapped them more than half a kilometer underground. They had to stretch a two-day food s
54、upply. For two weeks no one knew if they were alive or dead. Later, they received supplies.The first miner rescued on Wednesday was Florencio Avalos. The second was Mario Sepulveda, who talked about how the experience tested his faith. The last miner up was Luis Urzua, who was the shift leader when
55、his crew became trapped.Rescuers used a metal cage to pull the miners to safety in less than 24 hours faster than expected. The rescue capsule was a half-meter wide and known as the Phoenix, an imaginary bird from ancient stories. It bursts into flames but is continually reborn and rises from the as
56、hes.Chiles Navy built the capsule with advice from mining experts and NASA engineers. It worked like an elevator, traveling up and down on a cable through a shaft（竖井）drilled 622 meters into the rocks.Millions of people around the world watched the rescue. More than one thousand journalists traveled
57、to the mine in the Atacama Desert to report on the rescue. They joined family members of the miners and rescue crews housed in an area of tents known as Camp Hope.71. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Rescued miners speak out B. Miners life deep underground C. A rebirth for 33 rescued
58、 miners in Chile D. Chilean president honors rescued miners72. How many rescued miners are still in hospital? A. 3. B. 30. C. 33. D. 69. 73. We can infer from the passage that _.

61、ate in different parts of the world. Some of these changes are due to natural causes. However, some climate changes are caused by air pollution and there changes may increase.2If the pollution affects the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the results are likely to be serious. Carbon dioxide
62、 takes up only a small part of the atmosphere. But it performs an important function in keeping the balance between radiation from the sun entering the atmosphere and radiation leaving the Earth. Some radiation is absorbed by the Earth and some is radiated back into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide in
63、 the atmosphere prevent some radiation from leaving the atmosphere. Thus the heat remains in the atmosphere and carbon dioxide help to prevent the temperature. 3If the proportion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increased as a result of air pollution, the temperature of the atmosphere may rise
64、. This might cause the ice in the North Pole to melt. If this happened, the sea level could rise and parts of Earth would be flooded. This happening is not quite likely but the possibility exists.4There is also a fairly strong possibility that the level of dust in the atmosphere will rise _ . This d
65、ust pollution from industry will reflect sunlight back into space. If this happens, less sunlight will reach the Earth and the temperature will fall.5Another danger comes from the destruction of the Earths vegetation such as the forests of Brazil, which are being cleared away for farmland and cities
66、. Trees use carbon dioxide and the destruction may disturb the balance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.76.What is the tile of the passage?(no more than 5 words)_.77.Complete the following statement with proper words.(no more than 2 words)Some _ can lead to some climate changes in some parts of t

One of them is that students are forbidden to watch Hunan TV at weeke
70、nds. Instead, CCTV is recommended. Once known to the public, the rule set off a heated discussion among teachers, students and parents.Some people are in favor of the schools decision, believing that children need proper guidance and a good cultural environment during the course of growth. Therefore
71、, they should keep away from programs that may mislead them or affect their studies. On the other hand, some people hold the view that childrens right to choose their own lifestyle should be respected.As far as Im concerned, bans of this kind arent practical for schools. Instead, students should be guided to choose what will benefit them.
