You cant depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early on in my marriage. I realized that I couldnt rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on me and not my husbands actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within; it cant be forced by outside forces. So how do you choose happiness? The same way you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit. You choose it because thats what you want to experience in your life.You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feel good. You wouldnt buy a pair of shoes that you dont like or that dont fit well, right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that dont make us feel good?Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one can do that for us. If we let others get to us, influence our emotionswe are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.We need to keep our feelings in check and not react automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Dont dwell on(细想)what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.21.

In fact, a new study suggests that violence not only leaves long-term scars on childrens bodies, but also changes their DNA, causing changes that are equal to seven to ten years of premature aging (过早老化).Scientists measured this by studying the ends of childrens chromosomes (染色体), called telomeres(端粒), says Idan Shalev, lead author of a study published in Molecular Psychiatry.Telomeres are special DNA sequences (序列) which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating. They get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any more and dies.Several factors have been found to shorten telomeres, including smoking, radiation and psychological stresses such as being treated badly when young and taking care of a chronically ill person.In this study, researchers examined whether exposure to violence could make childrens telomeres shorten faster than normal. They interviewed the mothers of 236 children at ages 5, 7 and 10, asking whether the youngsters had been exposed to domestic violence between the mother and her partner, physical maltreatment by an adult or bullying. Researchers measured the childrens telomeresin cells obtained from the insides of their cheeksat ages 5 and 10.Telomeres shortened faster in kids exposed to two or more types of violence, says Shalev. Unless that pattern changes, the study suggests, these kids could be expected to develop diseases of aging, such as heart attacks or memory loss, seven to 10 years earlier than their peers.Shalev says there is hope for these kids. His study found that, in rare cases, telomeres can lengthen. Better nutrition, exercise and stress reduction are three things that may be able to lengthen telomeres, he says.The study confirms a small but growing number of studies suggesting that early childhood hardship imprints itself in our chromosomes, says Charles Nelson, a professor of pediatrics(儿科学)and neuroscience at Harvard Medical School.32. The new study has found that _.Aviolence leaves scars on a childs mindBviolence can speed up a childs agingChardship can change a childs agingDhardship has a long-term effect on children33.

All of the following things can shorten telomeres EXCEPT _.Amaltreatment Bradiation CsmokingDexercising35. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the text?AResearchers measured the childrens telomeres from their legs in the study.BKids interviewed in the study are exposed to two or more types of violence.CChildren who have shorter telomeres may suffer from a heart attack earlier.DVictims of domestic violence have no hopes of lengthening their telomeres.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。Doctors Say Most Heart Disease Preventable Heart disease is the number one killer worldwide, of men and women over the age of 60But people of all ages die of heart attacks each yearAnd while death rates have declined in the U.Sand many western European countries，they are on the rise in the developing world 36No one would have guessed that Barbara Teng would have a heart attackShe was not overweightShe did not smoke or exercise“In 2004，the week after I turned 49，when I was on a business trip in Chicago，I had a major heart attack”she said 37She now exercises daily，and monitors her heart healthDrPatrice Nickens，who is with the National Heart，Lung and Blood Institute，thinks that heart disease is 82 percent preventable“ 38，” she said“Men are also facing the same problem，and the key to staying healthy is knowing your numbers”“Your weight，your blood cholesterol，blood sugar and your blood pressure are important numbers that can help you take action and reduce your risk，” she said 39“And the steps to take are simple：dont smoke，maintain a healthy weight，exercise，know your numbers and talk to your physician and control these risks，” she saidAfrican-Americans are at higher-than-average risk for heart disease and stroke；people dont even know they have it，which increases the riskMedstar Washington Hospital Center is trying to reach this population40For example，helping the people monitor their blood pressureIf people realize they are at risk for heart disease，theyll make lifestyle changes：lose weight，exercise，eat the right foods and keep in touch with a doctorAA healthy lifestyle can prevent heart diseaseBSo we must cure heart diseaseCIt is the leading cause of death for womenDWith the right training，they can play an important role in community healthEAnd that changed her lifeFLack of exercise causes heart attacksGYet most heart disease is preventable第 II 卷第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45分） 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A learned man always has a lot of riches in himself.Simonides，a famous Greek poet，once made a tour around the well-known cities of Asia.
