When we see somethi
19、ng we dont like, we wish it could be different. We cry out for something better. That may be human nature, or perhaps its something ingrained (根深蒂固的) in our culture. The root of unhappiness isnt necessarily that we want things to be different. However, its that we decided we didnt like it in the fir
20、st place. Weve judged it as bad, rather than saying, “Its not bad or good, and it just is it.”In one of my books, I said “You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned.” Some readers said its too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong. However, its only neg
21、ative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad. Instead, you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.This can be applied to whatever you do: how other people act at work, how politics work and how depressing the news media can be. Accept these things as they
22、 are, and try to understand why theyre that way. It will save you a lot of sadness, because youll no longer say, “Oh, I wish bad things didnt happen！”Does it mean you can never change things? Not at all. But you change things not because you cant accept things as they are, but because you enjoy the
23、process of changing, learning and growing.Can we make this world a better place? You can say that youll continue to try to do things to help others, to grow as a person, to make a difference in this world. Thats the correct path you choose to take, because you enjoy that path. Therefore, when you fi
24、nd yourself judging and wishing for difference, try a different approach: accept, and understand. It might lead to some interesting results.24The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because _.Ait is our natural emotions in the lifeBour culture asks us to be different from othersCeveryone has
25、their own opinions on thingsDwe dislike something in the beginning25What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?AActing well at work and in politics.BFeeling depressed for the news media.CAccepting and understanding what has happened.DSaying something negative when bad things come.26W
26、hat are you advised to do according to the last paragraph? AHelp others and make a difference.BEnjoy what you have to do in the work.CJudge yourself and make a wish for you.DTry a new way when making the world better.27What is the main theme of the passage?AAccepting can make our life happier and be
27、tter.BExpecting things to be different gives us hope.CTraditional culture becomes the root of unhappiness.DJudging good or bad is important for our world.CThe human brain remembers negative experiences more easily than positive ones. Our brains have developed this way because threats, like dangerous
28、 animals, had a more immediate effect on our ancestors survival compared to positive things like food or shelter. As a result, you are likely to know what makes you unhappy, but do you know what makes you happy?Research suggests that our level of happiness depends partly on factors we cannot control
29、, such as our genes and our life circumstances. But our level of happiness is also shaped by the choices we make. If youve been chasing wealth, fame, good looks, material things and power, you may be looking for happiness in all the wrong places. Psychologists suggest that the following habits make
30、people happier.People who form close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not. The number of friends we have is not important. What matters is the quality of our relationships. Relationships that bring happiness usually involve the sharing of feelings, mutual respect, acceptance, trust
31、 and fun.People who exercise regularly improve both their physical and mental wellbeing. Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as medication in treating depression.When we are so interested in an activity we enjoy that we lose track of time, we are in a state of flow. The activit
32、y could be making art, playing the piano, surfing, or playing a game. People who experience flow in their work or hobbies tend to be happier.People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and use them regularly. People who set goals and use their strengths to achieve them t
33、end to be happier. People are especially happy when they can use their strengths to serve the greater good.People who think positively by being grateful, mindful and optimistic are more likely to be happy. Being grateful means being thankful. Being mindful means being open to, focusing on and enjoyi
34、ng the experiences of the present moment. Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.28Why does the human brain remember negative things more easily?ANegative things are easy to remember.BDangerous wild animals are a threat to us.COur ancestors had no enough food for living.DNegative thin

DOptimistic.30What does the author suggest to us in the last paragraph?AEnjoying our life and work.BLeading a happy life each day.CBeing positive in our
36、 life and work.DThinking more about the future.31What does this text mainly tell us?AThe factors that make people happy.BHow to remember positive things easily.CThe habits which people form in their life.DThe reason why people remember negative things easily.DPeople have used pigeons to carry messag
37、es to one another for hundreds of years. In fact, pigeons were a common way to send messages right up through World War .In 1815, English troops were fighting Napoleons forces in France, and the English were believed to be losing. A financial panic swept over London. Government bonds (债券) were offer
38、ed at low prices. Few people noticed that Nathan Rothschild, an English banker, was snapping_up these bonds when everyone else was trying to sell them. A few days later, London learnt the truth: the Duke of Wellington had defeated Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo. The value of the bonds soared(暴涨)
39、, and Rothschild became wealthy. all because his pigeons had brought him news of the victory before anyone else knew of it.Carrier pigeons were used by countries in both World War and World War . Not only were the birds considered as the fastest and the most reliable way to send messages, but they c
40、ould be used to reach soldiers far behind enemy lines, where radios and field telephone lines were useless. Since they could easily be released from airplanes or ships, every branch of the armed services used the birds.Carrying messages could be a dangerous job. Some pigeons performed with such brav
41、ery that they became famous and were even awarded medals. The most famous pigeon of all may have been Cher Ami. Stationed in France during World War ， he carried twelve important messages for American forces. On his last mission, though wounded, he carried a message that saved the lives of 194 Ameri
42、can soldiers. For his amazing service, he was awarded the French “Croix de Guerre”Today, modern communication methods can carry information from one place to another hundreds of times faster than a pigeon could do it. However, few people would argue with the fact that carrier pigeonsespecially those
43、 that served in the militaryhave earned their place in history.32Nathan Rothschild made his fortune by _.Arelying on messages sent to him by carrier pigeonsBpredicting successfully the result of the battleChis experience and a good knowledge of bondsDhis ability to tell right from wrong33What does “

46、Talking to yourself may seem a little shameful.

47、 going to do, manage our activities, regulate our emotions and even create a description of our experience. _37_ As children, according to the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky, we use private speech to regulate our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behaviour of others
48、. _38_ Psychological experiments have shown that the private speech can improve our performance on tasks ranging from judging what other people are thinking to sorting images into categories. One recent study suggested that selftalk is most effective when we address ourselves in the second person，as

Youre certain to see an athlete or two cheering themselves up with a bitter phrase or scolding themselves after a bad shot.Conduct a dialogue with ourselves. _40_ The private speech seems to be a particularly good way of solvi
50、ng problems and working through ideas. The to andfrom between different points of view means our thoughts can end up in expected places, just like a regular dialogue can, and might turn out to be one of the keys to human creativity.AWhat is private speech?BBut there is no need for embarrassment.CPsy

Hillary took the famous photo of Norgay posing with his iceaxe, but since Norgay had never used a camera, Hillarys ascent went unrecorded
71、. Additional photos were taken looking down the mountain in order to reassure that they had made it to the top and that the ascent was not faked.The two had to take care on the descent after discovering that drifting snow had covered their tracks, complicating the task of retracing their steps.

83、ext 10Londons Chinese community dates back to the 18th century, when a small number of Chinese sailors moved to the city to work in the dock area of Limehouse, east London. As time went on, Chinese people came to this area, mainly to open shops and cafes, and Limehouse began to known as “Chinatown”.
84、 However, Londons Chinese community remained very small for many years. At the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain.This situation changed after World War .At that time, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs, and decided to immigrate to London. As Limehouse ha
85、d been destroyed during the war, these new immigrants lived in a different areaa part of central London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.At first, the new settlers found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small Chinese restaurant opened in central
86、 London. Many British people visited it and praised that Chinese food was wonderful! Suddenly, Chinese restaurants started opening in every part of the city. This raised a question: instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked very long hours a
87、s cooks, managers or waiters. Most of the people enjoyed their lives and the chances they were offered. Many arranged for their friends and relatives to join them from overseas, and a lot of families were reunited at this time.As time went by, Londons Chinese community became more and more successfu
88、l. The sons and daughters of the restaurant workers, encouraged by their parents, studied very hard at school and university, and most went on to get highlypaid jobs. As a result, a large number of Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive places. Chinatown, however, is still a
