A recent study could tell you the answer.The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher ines by the time they turned 29.Those who were happiest earned an average of $8,000 more than those who were the most depressed.The researchers，from University College London and the University of Warwick，say that very gloomy teens，no matter how tall or smart they were，earned 10% less than their peers，while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school，college and the job interview，chiefly because they always feel better about life.It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends，who are often the key to homework help or networking.A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness.In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women，Alas (the same gene doesnt appear to have the same effect on men)And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest.The big question is: if it is really true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids，is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework? The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades.Studies do show，after all，that more education leads to betterpaid jobs，which may give us a deep thought.“These findings show that the teenagershappiness is important to their future success，” one of the reports authors writes.“But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork.”1What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study?AHappy teenagers grow up to be wealthier.BMoney can make people bee happier.CWealth has nothing to do with happiness at all.DSchoolwork can help teens achieve success.2The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that _.Athey are easy to municate with othersBthey are good at

future success”(青少年的幸福对他们未来的成功很重要)。由此可见，幸福的孩子长大后会更富有，故答案为A项。2解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第四段第一句可知感到幸福的青年人更容易完成学业，更容易找到工作，其主要原因是他们总是感到生活是美好的，故答案为C项(他们对生活充满了希望并对生活持乐观的态度)。3解析：选A。猜测词义题。画线词后“while the happier ones

yourself which institution is most relevant.Thats why university rankings play such a vital role in students searching for their next academic direction.Rankings are also an inescapable part of the reputation and brand image of universities.“ No university website is plete without the claim to be in the top 100 for something or other，” reported the BBC.The reason is simple: rankings help them to attract students，staff and research investment.Currently there are numbers of university rankings，and each has its own list of criteria.But the main categories are the same: academic reputations，graduatesperformance and faculty resources.However，experts point out the ranking process isnt entirely reliable.Mark Kantrowitz，a US financial aid researcher，said university rankings were mostly just for show.He wrote in The New York Times，“ It may give your parents better bragging rights，but thats about it.”Moreover，its not difficult to see the limitations of university rankings.Many rankings focus on the number of times research work is cited (引用) by other researchers.It helps British and US universities to dominate global rankings because English is the favored language of academia，John OLeary，a member of the QS Global Academic Advisory Board，told The Guardian.Also，rankings such as QS mainly focus on the qualities of the university rather than its students.“Any university ranking is likely to help students make better decisions about where to study，but the need to balance them with other more human factors is also important，” said Phil Moss，an education and admissions consultant.“Advice from graduates or current students can be valuable in providing a genuine insight into the experience or quality of a particular degree program.It can also add an element that rankings can never conveythe actual emotion of a university experience.”5Why do universities consider rankings important?ARankings make them more appealing.BRankings are studentsonly reference.CRankings can increase their academic level.DRankings help them plete their websites.6What does the underlined “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?AAcademic research work.BThe number of researches.CThe way of ranking universities.DThe limitations of university rankings.7According to John OLeary，what helps British and US universities rank well?AThe wide use of English in academia.BTheir outstanding qualities.CTheir graduatesexcellent performance.DThe academias favor to them.8Besides rankings，what does Phil Moss suggest you should refer to if youre picking a university?AInvestment in education.BGuidance from professors.CInformation on websites.DSuggestions from students.【语篇解读】在选择大学时除了要考虑排名外，还要考虑毕业生或在校生的建议。5解析：选A。根据第一段的最后一句“The reason is simple：rankings
