Its a measure of well-being and may be evaluated in terms of mood, satisfaction with relations with others and with achieved goals and self-concepts to cope with daily life. Its having a favorable attitude towards ones life as a whole rather than just an evaluation of current feelings. Life satisfaction has been measured in relation to economy, education, experiences, and residence, as well as many other topics.Life satisfaction can reflect experiences that have influenced a person in, a positive way. These experiences have the ability to motivate people to pursue and reach their goals. As a matter of fact, in these experiences there are two kinds of emotions that may positively influence how people understand their life. Hope and optimism both consist of emotional processes that are usually directed towards the reaching of goals. People who have higher life satisfaction are always full of hope for a better future; additionally, optimism is linked to higher life satisfaction, while pessimism is related to symptoms in depression.The psychologist, Yuval Palgi, studied the old-old-people who were primarily in their nineties. This subject group was found to have thought highly of their past and present, but they thought lower of their future. A large factor that was talked about in life satisfaction was intelligence. The experiments talk of how life satisfaction grows as people bee older because they bee wiser and more knowledgeable, so they begin to see that life will be better as they grow older and understand the important things in life more. But when they step into their nineties, future bees a luxury to them.According to Seligman, the happier people are, the less they are focused on the negative. Happier people also have a greater tendency to like other people, which promotes a happier environment, which then correlates to a higher level of the persons satisfaction with their life.1.What can we learn about life satisfaction from Paragraph 1?A.

At home，robots will help people do some housework and care of the elderly，babies and p atients.In addition to these ，robots will even be able to play chess and do exercise with people.In factories，robots will be used to perform some dangerous jobs avoid accidents.Robots will change our future life many ways， will make it more colorful and fortable.，we shouldnt depend on intelligent robots too much，for they made to help humans rather than replace us.As helpers of humans，robots should be used properly.第一处：widewidely。考查副词。修饰动词，故用副词。wide也可作副词，意为“尽可能广地”，不符合语境。第二处：takingtake。考查固定用法。根据该句中的“help people do some housework and”可知，此处应用原形；help sb.(to) do sth.为固定用法。第三处：tasktasks。考查名词的数。task为可数名词，根据该词前的these可知，应用复数形式。第四处：删除the。考查冠词。play chess为固定用法，意为“下象棋”；棋类名词前不用冠词。第五处：jobs后加to。考查动词不定式。在工厂里，机器人将被用于执行危险任务，以避免事故。分析句子结构可知，应用动词不定式表目的。第六处：byin。考查介词。in many ways意为“在很多方面”。第七处：whatwhich。考查关系代词。分析该句结构可知，该句为非限制性定语从句，且先行词为ways，故用which引导该定语从句。第八处：ThereforeHowever。考查副词。上句说，机器人将改变我们未来的生活，使我们的生活多彩而舒适；该句说，我们不能过度依赖智能机器人；据此可知，两句间为转折关系，故用However。第九处：wereare。考查动词的时态。机器人是被用来帮助人类的，而不是来代替人类的。该句陈述的是客观事实，故用一般现在时。第十处：weus。考查代词。of后接宾语，故用宾格us。四、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。Some people live in the world for body while others for dignity.I once 1.(take) a walk along the street on a Saturday dusk,with a Pepsi can in my hand.An old woman in ragged clothes,2. was living on collecting used cans,jars and tins,moved slowly towards me,with a bag on the back!3.(walk)nearer,she looked up at me and then fixed her eyes on my can. At that time,I hadnt finished my cola,so I gave her several coins instead.She stared at me for a few seconds and handed back the money.Quite 4.(confuse),I asked,“Why not?Isnt that 5. you want?”“I am not a 6.(beg),” she said seriously,word by word.Instantly,I felt so sorry.I had intended 7.(help)her,pletely misunderstanding her.Thus I hurt her.What I could do at that moment was only to drink up the cola and handed her 8. emptied can.This time,she gave me a smile with 9.(satisfy)and gratitude in her eyes.The woman is poor in material life but is so 10.(respect) as a man.I am not only moved but also have learned a good lesson.答案1.took2.who3.Walking4.confused5.what6.beggar7.to help8.the9.satisfaction10.respectable
