How was this violent wind not blowing them into the field beyond？I quickly pulled on long snow pants and heavy winter coat, wrapped a scarf around my neck and stuck my feet into large boots I shouted at the wind as it blewI was alone，struggling in the snowThey stared out the window into the vast white sea of snow, peering at any sign of movement. Outside I heard the sound of my boots as I walked against the wind As the snow circled around me，I steadily made my way to the soft cluck-cluck-cluck sound my hens always madeWhen I reached them，I saw that their little feet were holding on to the edge of the bucket，heads bent forward and away from the wind. I gently lifted each hen and put it carefully into the warm insideThen I began the freezing walk back to the small shed directly behind our house. One by one I laid my chickens on the cold floor，and they began to cluck softly As I shut the shed doors，my eyes went directly to the window where my children were watching. They jumped up and down cheering，and so did I! I wasnt some dragon slayer(屠龙者) from a fairy tale. I was simply a mom，but the look on my childrens faces told me that they thought I was a hero mom 24.

CBlack Friday is the day afterThanksgiving Dayand the Friday beforeCyber Mondayin the United States. It is not a federal holiday, but is a public holiday in some states. Many people take a day of their annual leave on the day after Thanksgiving Day. Some people use this to make trips to see family members or friends who live in other areas or to go on vacation. Others use it to start shopping for the Christmas season. Many organizations also close for the Thanksgiving weekend.Shopping for Christmas presents is also popular on Black Friday. Many stores have special offers and lower their prices on some goods, such as toys. Public transit systems may run on their normal schedule or may have changes. Some stores extend their opening hours on Black Friday. There can also be congestion on roads to popular shopping destinations.Black Friday is one of the busiest shopping days in the USA. There are two popular theories as to why the day after Thanksgiving Day is called Black Friday. One theory is that the wheels of vehicles in heavy traffic on the day after Thanksgiving Day left many black markings on the road surface, leading to the term Black Friday. The other theory is that the term Black Friday es from an old way of recording business accounts. Losses were recorded in red ink and profits in black ink. Many businesses, particularly small businesses, started making profits prior to Christmas. Many hoped to start showing a profit, marked in black ink, on the day after Thanksgiving Day.28. How do people usually spend Black Friday? A. Take a day off as a federal holiday. B. Travel around the world. C. Close their organizations. D. Shop for the Christmas season.29. Which of the following is most likely to happen on Black Friday? A. Shoppers enjoy special offers in every store. B. Parents buy toys for their kids at a discount. C. Some store owners shorten their opening hours to enjoy the day. D. Subways and buses are closed earlier than usual.30. What does the underlined word “congestion” (Para. 2) probably mean? A. money B. people C. crowd D. disaster31. According to the second theory, Black Friday gets its name because _ A. wheels of vehicles left black markings on the road. B. the air is often filled with black smog on the day. C. businesses begin to earn money after Thanksgiving Day. D. people use up their money on the day and feel sad.D Why do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic（神经质的）than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mothers personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when were adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isnt destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isnt just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.32. What finding of the study might be out of our expectation? A. Helpful people can live a relatively long life. B. Being self-disciplined makes no difference to longevity. C. Readiness to accept new ideas offers more possibility to enjoy longevity. D. Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.33. What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers show? A. Mothers anxiety may affect their childrens life spans. B. People with unhealthy eating habits are likely to die at a young age. C. Mothers may have a longer influence on children than fathers. D. Childrens personality characteristics are always shaped by their mothers.34. What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies? A. Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short ones life span. B. A persons lifestyle is largely related to his or her health. C. Personalityplaysadecisive and significantroleinhowhealthyoneis. D.A mixture of mental and physical health produces longevity.35. According to the author, outgoing and sympathetic people _ A. have a good understanding of evolution. B. are probably more active and neurotic. C. are more likely to recover from hardship. D. generally appear more resourceful.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。People all have good days and bad days. And some of the bad days happen due to events beyond your control. 36 One way to increase the possibility that you have a good day is to join in “gratification(喜悦)” activities , which you enjoy and youre good at. 37 However, if you dont have the type of job, you can take part in other activities and find the same result. 38 There are many little pleasures you can add to your life, such as tea, a warm bath, a walk in the park and so on. As long as you enjoy them, they can really brighten your every day. Laughter is also part of having a good day. Thats why its important to do what you can to create joy for you. 39 After all, if you are humorous, you can more easily center on fun things.If you dont have much time, one way can be used during a stressful day. 40You should achieve this by making your plan flexible and checking that everything in your plan is necessary.

Some people experience joy and happiness at work.C. Good moods enable us to notice more chances.D. Lifes pleasures are also able to add a quick lift to your mood.E.
