In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18.The finding came from a Gallup survey of more than 340,000 adults between the age of 18 and 85 in the United States.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science 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 22 and 25. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. The survey also found that men and women had similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.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 and well-being related to age.So why would happiness increase with age ? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.The original goal of the study was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that , people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.54. Old people may be happier probably because _A. their children have grown up. B. they are most likely satisfied with life.C. they can do whatever they like best. D. they dont have to work every day.55. According to the survey, when will adults feel most stressful?A. In their twenties. B. In their fifties.C. In their seventies. D. In their eighties.56. What may make Arthur Stone a bit surprised?A. Women usually live longer than men. B. Middle-age men mostly are very rich.C. Most of old people cant sleep well at night.D. Old people usually have a better sleep.57. Which of the following may be the topic of this passage ?A. The difference between men and women. B. The young people and the old people. C. Old peoples feeling of happiness. D. The connection of sleep and happiness.CRobots come in many shapes and sizes, but scientists in Zurich, Switzerland, have developed one new robot called Pleurobot, which looks and acts just like a salamander (火蜥蜴).To create the robot, scientists took hundreds of X-rays of real salamanders. They studied the images of these animals to see which joints (关节) and muscles the animals use as they move. Then the scientists built the Pleurobots skeleton to move just like the real thing. This makes the robots movements incredibly lifelike.According to experts, salamanders were among the first animals to develop a skeleton and nervous system that allowed them to travel on land. “By studying the modern salamander, we have a time window to the ancestors of all vertebrates(脊椎动物), including humans,” Auke Ijspeert, the designer of the robot, told scholastic News Online.Both people and salamanders have a spinal cord (脊髓). An injury to the spinal cord can result in the inability to move. Now, there is no cure for paralysis (瘫痪). Ijspeert hopes that the Pleurobot can help change that. Because these studies could help researchers develop new ways to help people who have been paralyzed by spinal cord injuries.Scientists think that the Pleurobot could also be used for search-and-rescue tasks too dangerous for humans. Because the robot is low to the ground and has a wide range of motion, it could be used to get into dangerous places, like fallen buildings, to look for survivors. Thanks to its waterproof suit, the robotic salamander could even participate in underwater missions.Experts are now working on a smaller, sturdier (harder to break) model of the Pleurobot. They expect this one to be even better suited for getting into small spaces to do dangerous work.58. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. How scientists designed the Pleurobot.B. What the Pleurobot looks like.C. Why scientists invented the Pleurobot.D. How real salamanders move.59. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The shape of the spinal cord.B. The movement of robotic animals.C. The problem of spinal cord injuries. D. The way the brain controls the spinal cord.60. Which of the following can best describe the Pleurobot?A. Fashionable.B. Entertaining.C. Power-saving.D. Functional.61. The text is most probably _.A. an advertisementB. a research paperC. a news reportD. an official documentDDreams are not just a product of the processing of information that our brain conducts while we sleep. It is from dreams that some of the greatest inventions have become a reality.Take for example the famous chemist Dmitri Mendeleev, it was in his dream that he figured out how to place all the elements on a periodical table. Srinivasa Ramanujan discovered thousands of mathematical equations（方程式）from his dreams. Rene Descartes, the man who built much of the framework of the modern scientific method mentioned that the basis of the method came to him in a dream.These are just a few examples of how people got the answers to some of the most complex questions from their dreams. Our subconscious（潜意识的）mind keeps trying to give us answers to questions we may struggle with, and many of these answers come to us in the form of dreams. However, most of us may struggle with recalling them.Here is a very simple exercise that can help you recall your dreams. Before going to bed, for at least 24 days (It takes around 24 days to form a habit), keep telling yourself that “I will remember all my dreams”. At first, you may not see any results at all, but dont be affected by that. Just keep doing it. After some time you will notice that vague（模糊的）memories of your dreams will stay in your mind when you wake up. These may be forgotten after a while, so make a note of it on your mobile phone or in a book.Now the fun doesnt just stop there. Try to understand what your dreams mean; see if it applies to something that is happening in your everyday life. Many of the problems we struggle with have already been solved in our amazing mind. It is all locked away in our subconsciousness waiting to be discovered. These answers come to us in the form of dreams.62. The examples given in Paragraph 2 show that _.A. successful people often dream B. famous people work hard at night C. dreams can help solve problems D. great inventions are based on hard work63. According to the text, most people have trouble _.A. realizing their dreamsB. continuing their dreamsC. waking from their dreamsD. remembering their dreams64. When you recall a dream, you are advised to _.A. forget itB. make a record of itC. share it with othersD. keep it in mind65. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Why do People DreamB. Inventions and InventorsC. How to Remember Dreams D. The Power of Your Dreams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。Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends.
