The collapsed house had crashed her back and her head.With so many difficulties，the leader of the rescue team put his hand through a
10、 narrow gap on the wall to reach the womans body. He was hoping that this woman could be still alive. However, the cold and stiff body told him that she had passed away for sure.He and the rest of the team left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building. For some reasons, the te
11、am leader was driven by compelling force to go back to the ruined house of the dead woman. Again, he knelt down and put his hand through the narrow cracks to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, he screamed with excitement, “A child！There is a child！”The whole team worked together;
12、 carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3monthold little boy wrapped in a flowery blanket under his mothers dead body.

13、 her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up.The medical doctor came quickly to exam the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cell phone.

But ahead of the SATs exams next week, one school decided to send a letter of a different type.Bosses at Buckton Vale Primary School in Stalybridge sent letter to all pupils in the sixth grade to tell them how special and unique they are. The letter highlights all the natural skills and abili
18、ties the pupils have and everything that makes them “smart” individuals.They are told how their laughter can brighten the darkest day and that the examiners do not know the pupils are kind, trustworthy and thoughtful.The letter, signed by the headmaster and two other teachers, has been put on the sc

20、ot assess all that makes each of you special and unique. The people who create these tests and score them do not know each of you in the way that we do and certainly not in the way your families do.”The letter goes on to say that the tests are not the most important thing in life, adding, “The score
21、s you will get from this test will tell you something, but they will not tell you everything. There are many ways of being smart.

In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. Its
25、 clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image(自我形象)I am a fashionist too, at least in spiritI love to look at clothes and shoes. But I dont understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels.When a young woman
26、 buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, thats a scary thing.Whats interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesnt lead to happiness.Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we dont suddenly become “happy” people. In f
27、act, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. Thats because experiences are more easily integrated into a persons identity. If I
28、 travel to Yunnan，that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me.Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue(追求) happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers(同龄人). People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.Its natural
29、 to want to express yourself through your appearance. So, my advice is: create a look that isnt tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, ro

32、ies show?ATraveling changes a persons identity greatly.BPeople dislike those who love luxuries.CExperiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries.DLuxuries have a negative effect on peoples happiness.14Whats the authors advice on expressing oneself?ABe selective about designer labels.BCreate
33、 your own personal，unique style.CChoose styles that are simple and comfortable.DTry styles like Mark Zuckerbergs.15What is the main purpose of the article?ATo persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries.BTo prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life.CTo tell how to express yourse
34、lf through appearance.DTo report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Knowing your neighbors can make you feel safer and can make your life a little more enjoyable. 16Start a Facebook group.

35、 for local communities, but they may just focus on swapping and selling objects，or simply for exploring the local area. 17 For example, starting a Facebook group.Get volunteering.

37、f kindness can be as simple as saying hello when you see your neighbors in the street or the supermarket.

39、any ways to volunteer in your local community.CStarting a neighborhood exercise group may be just the ticket.DSo why not set one up simply to get to know your neighbors better?EIt may also be taking in that rather large parcel when no one is home.FIf youre new to an area or dont know how to make loc
