You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile, hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug. But can you also smell their happiness? Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent (气味), and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell, reports Phys.org. For the study, 12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them. All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers, and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period. Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell, while researchers monitored their reactions. Only women were selected to smell the samples, apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signalingthough its unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents. Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scentsparticularly their facial expressionsindicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed(嗅)them. “Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell,” said study co-author Gun Semin, a professor at Koc University in Turkey. This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent, but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others. The study also found that other emotions, such as fear, seem to carry a scent too. This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell, but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings. Researchers have yet to isolate (分离) exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is, but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be. Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented. Scent therapies (香味疗法) could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety. Perhaps the most surprising result of the study, however, is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated, and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.1. What is the main finding of the new research? A. Men produce more sweats. B. Pleasant feelings can be smelt out. C. Negative emotions have a smell. D. Women have a better sense of smell.2. The underlined part “abstain from” in Paragraph 3 probably means _. A. practice B. continue C. avoid D. try3. What is the application value of the new research? A. Perfumes could help people understand each other. B. Some smells could be developed to better our mood. C. Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases. D. Some smells could be created to improve our appearance.4. We can learn from the last paragraph that _. A. happiness comes from a scent of sweat B. positive emotions can deepen understanding C. people need more emotional communication D. social surroundings can influence our emotions B.Phrases like “good sharing!” and “great job on the slide!” echo(回响)across American playgrounds. Coaches pass out ribbons to every participant. Scholar publishes a series called “Im Special!” assuring readers that the ability to play with friends and sing songs makes them special indeed. Weve been told that high self-esteem is the key to childrens happiness and success, and weve been praising and protecting them ever since. But has the self-esteem movement gone too far? Many experts argue that instead of raising healthy high achievers, maybe were raising a generation of narcissists(自我陶醉者). “Our old concepts of self-esteem(自尊)are old-fashioned, and parents need to send the concept to the trash heap（垃圾堆）of all things outdated and useless,” says Aaron Cooper, co-author of I Just Want My Kids to be Happy.While experts used to blame low self-esteem for everything from bad grades to criminal behavior, research has shown that inflated(膨胀的)self-esteem is more often the criminal. An article called “Rethinking Self-Esteem” by Roy made a stir when he supposed that criminals and drug abusers actually had higher self-esteem than the general population. Martin and Ervin found that the modern habit of constant praise was turning kids skeptical and unmotivated. And esteemed child development expert T. Barry recently wrote in The New York Times that the phrase “self-esteem” had lost its meaning. Parents just want their children to have a positive self-image. And while its easy to make fun of the extremes of the self-esteem movement, its difficult to walk the fine line between acquiring self-respect and self-centeredness. Anyway, make it clear that while you have expectations for their behavior, you love and accept them unconditionally. True self-esteem isnt about a steady stream of applause; it develops when children know their limits and responsibilities, are given enough opportunities to challenge themselves, and feel secure that theyre loved even when they fail.5. Whats the purpose of using phrases like “good sharing!” and “great job on the slide”?A. To attract readers attention. B. To introduce the topic. C. To give the authors opinion.D. To tell readers the key to happiness and success.6. According to the text, which of the following statements is true? A. Children with high esteem are likely to be high achievers. B. High self-esteem makes kids motivated nowadays. C. High self-esteem does harm to kids in a way. D. In childrens development high self-esteem plays a positive role.7. The proper way to develop childrens true self-esteem is to .A. give them constant praise unconditionally. B. let them shoulder all their responsibilities.C. offer them support even though they fail. D. have high expectations for their behavior. 8. Whats the authors attitude towards high self-esteem?A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Subjective. D. Negative. C.A hospital has been forced to ban Pokemon Go players from the site after a monster hub (妖怪枢纽站) was found in the A&E department. Royal Stoke University Hospital discovered that its casualty unit(急诊室) is on the same spot as a Pokemon Go gym - where players can train their newly caught Nintendo creatures.The University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust agreed last week that patients can play Pokemon Go on wards(病房)because walking around is healthy. But the Trust has been forced to post a warning on its website about public access to A&E. It said if Pokemon Go becomes a major annoyance it would ask Nintendo - which decides on the locations of the virtual gyms according using GPS - to have it removed from the premises(道馆). Kevin Parker, associate chief nurse, said: “Members of the public who do not need to be at Royal Stoke should not attempt to enter A&E or any other part of the hospital building to play the game. The A&E department is incredibly busy this summer. We want the public to understand that anybody who visits the hospital only to play the game will provide an unwanted distraction to the important work of the hospital. Im also aware of various reports in the media of unsafe areas that the game has been played in.”“Royal Stoke University Hospital is a safe area where gamers can enjoy Pokemon Go.” Michelle Harris, the Trusts manager, said the game could still be played by those already in hospital. “We recognize that the Pokemon Go game encourages walking and exercise, which is something that the Trust is equally keen to promote,” she said.There are a number of “walking routes” established throughout the Trust that can be used to combine walking and playing the game. “Walking just 30 minutes, five times a week, can help reduce the risk of preventable illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.”There have been several warnings about the game since its UK release. Last week a group of teenagers in Wiltshire were left stranded almost 100 feet underground after they got carried away searching for Pokemon Go characters. The four boys, aged 16 and 17, ended up getting lost and had to wait to get a phone signal before they could call for help. Eventually, they contacted Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue team, who took them to safety. Damien Bence, of the fire and rescue team, said: “Pokemon Go is obviously leading people into dangerous situations.”9. It seems that Pokemon Go is a game_. A. designed to help patients in hospital recover sooner B. helping cure such diseases as obesity, diabetes and heart disease C. warning teenagers of the places easy to get lost or attacked D. encouraging players to walk and exercise instead of staying indoors10. The A&E department is incredibly busy because_. A. more patients arrival increases the workload of the A&E department B. players arrival disturbs the work of the A&E department C. players injury increases the workload of the A&E department D. doctors playing the game makes the A&E department less efficient11. The underlined word“stranded”in the last paragraph probably means_. A. trapped B. disturbed C. threatened D. hurt12. The passage is mainly about_. A. the popularity of Pokemon Go since its UK release B. the applications of Pokemon Go in hospitals since its UK release C. the negative effects of Pokemon Go since its UK release D. the establishment of Pokemon Go virtual gyms since its UK release 第二节 （共 5 小题, 每小题 1 分, 满分 5 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。As is known to all, many things can be measured in terms of data. Sometimes data can indeed tell the truth. With the help of data we can easily know the price of a can of Coke in the supermarket or the result of a football match. Data can make our life easier and more comfortable. What is more important, data seem to be fairer than words or statements. 13 Nowadays, as lies exist in the world, data are expected to tell the truth. Therefore, many of us would rather believe data. On the other hand, if we judge things only by data from the so-called specific research, arent we a little too narrow-minded? Many people often treat the so-called specific data unwisely just to make sure that they are making the right decisions. 14 For example, how can you tell that somebody isnt a good student just because he or she doesnt get high marks in the final examination? 15 For example, the degree of your feeling happy in your life, the depth of love between you and your friends, and the faith you have in your country. We can only feel them in our hearts but can never express them in data.There is no doubt that analyzing the exact data is important to assessment of an actual event. But data should be dealt with wisely. We often get wrong data which mislead us. 16 Remember, data have no feeling but we humans have. Data do not mean much to people if we do not have the abilities to analyze the data with the knowledge and confidence to judge whether they are true or false. 17 Data are data after all. Life is much more colourful than the pale data. So give the cold data a warm heart and well find that the world is far more wonderful than the pale data can describe. A. We should try our best to be wise thinkers.B. If the data are true, we dont have to worry about being cheated.C. But sometimes we may find that data arent everything.D. Sometimes our hearts and mind are more sensitive than data.E. Now and then the so-called specific data puzzle us very much.F. The exact data should come from assessment of an actual event.G. There are many things in our life which cannot be measured by data. 第三部分 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分, 满分 30 分） I always walk to my husbands office after work, wait for him and then we drive home together every day.
