19、h her daughter in her legs. They were making a list: “Three Good Things of the Day.” Her daughter, who was combing Carters hair, said. “Mom, this is going to be one of my three good things.”Making a list was their way of reflecting on things they were grateful for. Its a skill based on an expanding
20、field of research known as the science of happiness. Carter is a sociologist at the University of California, Berkeley. She studies how schools and families can develop positive emotions and help kids lead a healthier life.Finding the positive side doesnt mean never being sad. It means understanding

22、 step toward happiness is learning how to describe emotions, even negative ones. Feeling blue? Its better to accept the emotion willingly than to ignore it. Ask yourself: “What do I feel?

23、says. Lets say you often quarrel with a brother or sister. Reflect on why youre grateful to that person. Remember the good times.

106、a drive-in theater according to the talk?A. A lower ticket price.B. A better view of a movie.C. A more comfortable experience.20. Why did drive-ins become less popular?A. Less people live in the suburbs.B. Many people lost interest in it.C. Car prices were too high.【解析】【原文】Because of COVID-19, many
107、new methods are being formed for social communication. However, there is one older method that is becoming popular again. It is called the drive-in movie theater, or more commonly, a drive-in. Drive-ins began around 1915, the first being in New Mexico. The idea soon spread around the country. Six ye
108、ars later, Texas opened their first drive-in and New Jersey opened their first in 1933. Drive-ins are a way to watch movies without being packed into a movie theater. Drive-ins play a movie on a large screen, usually in a parking lot or an open space. Being able to sit in your own car and watch a mo
109、vie can be a more pleasant experience for most people. Unfortunately, most drive-ins failed in the past 20 years. Because more people moved into the cities, the suburban drive-in didnt have a reliable customer base. Cities dont have open spaces big enough to operate these theaters either. Another re
110、ason is that the high oil prices also make people drive less. Before COVID-19, drive-ins consisted of only 1.5% of all movie screens in the USA, which is a huge drop from when they made up over 25% during their peak. Currently, drive-ins are making their return. Now with better technology, the movie picture will be much better than when drive-ins were at their most popular time. People feel safer about sitting in their own cars while watching, rather than sitting in a theater.
