That day I was trying desperately to find a good tomato. I finally grabbed the best one I could find. Backing away from the counter with it in hand. I wasnt paying attention. “Oh, Im so sorry!” I said as I nearly fell over a woman in an electric cart. Many stores have started providing electric cars for those who have difficulty getting around. “Oh, thats okay. Im used to it. they need to put horns(喇叭)on these things,” she said with a smile. “We are positioned a bit lower and somewhat out of view. They are also so quiet that often people just dont hear us ing. But I dont know what Id do without one. Oh, what a beautiful tomato it is ! I used to grow tomatoes. But this year I just couldnt do it any more.”“Im sorry for your challenges. It must be frustrating.” I said.“Well, it all requires a change in attitude, I could spend my time thinking about what I cant do any more, or spend it on what new things I can do. I loved gardening. Besides my vegetable I also planted many flowers. All those years of love and attention kept them strong, so my work paid off,” the old woman replied.“I love your attitude,” I added. “But tell me, what new things have you discovered? You said you needed to focus on new things you could do.” “Well, I can go to the grocery store and make new friends by running into perfect strangers with my cart,” she said. “What Ive discovered is that I cant grow flowers any more, but I can paint flowers. When I hang my flowers paintings on the wall, the fresh scent stays in my soul. Since I cant get around as much and they are just there, we are a perfect match.”“Just like meeting you, my friend. You added beauty to my day and will brighten the dark corners of my memory just when I need it most,” I told her.21. The electric cars in the stores are used to _.

A. her electric cart B. the flower in her garden C. her flower paintings D. the strangers she met in the storesB People with an impulsive(冲动的)personality refer to those who tend to do things without considering the possible dangers or problems first. According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia, such people may be more likely to have food addiction.Thestudy found that people exhibiting impulsive behavior werent necessarily overweight, but impulsiveness was related to a direct relationship with food, and therefore, less healthy weight.Foodaddictionhasbeenparedtoaddictivedruguse.Studieshavelinkedthedopamine(多巴胺)release that occurs after tasting delicious food to the dopamine release that happens when people consume other addictive substances.Impulsivebehaviorinvolvesseveralpersonalitytraits(特点). Two of these traits, known as negative urgency and lack of perseverance, were particularly associated with food addiction and high BMI(身体质量指数)during the study. Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotions. Some people might drink alcohol or take drugs. For others, it could mean eating to feel better. Lack of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasks. People with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior, which could also cause obesity(肥胖).“Impulsivenessmightbeonereasonwhysomepeopleeatinanaddictivewaydespitemotivationtoloseweight,” said Dr. Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist. He was involved in developing the Yale Food Addiction Scale in aid of those people. “We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing, then our measure, the Yale Food Addiction Scale, should be related to helping control impulsive action,” said Gearhardt.Clinical psychologist Dr. James MacKillop, whose lab was conducting the study, believes that therapies used to treat addictive drug behavior could help people who suffer from addictive eating habits.“Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious things, which are clearly diet and exercise,” MacKillop said. “It seems that managing strong desires to eat would naturally fit in with the skills a person would need to eat healthily.”25. How does the author introduce the two personality trains in paragraph 3? A. By making parisons and conclusions B. By explaining causes and effects C. By presenting questions and answers D. By giving definitions and examples26. What can be inferred about the Yale Food Addiction Scale from the text? A. It has been successfully carried out among overweight people B. It might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight C. It will prove whether food addiction is a problem to impulsive people D. It is theoretically a proper treatment for addictive food and drug behavior27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Dopamine release Caused by Food Addiction B.

Why ishappinesssuch an elusive(难捉摸的) thing? Is it that it cannot simply be achieved? Or is it that it is not where all of us have been looking for it? What is it that we consider happiness? This is how I see it: Happinessis what you feel when what you want to happen happens. And the then we can conclude that unhappiness is what we feel when what we want to happen does not happen.The main keyword in definition is want. The whole trouble starts when we want something. Every moment of our lives we keep on wanting something or the other. Only a small percentage of all our wishes is fulfilled in spite of all our endeavors(努力). The frustration of failing to fulfill most of our wishes sets in. We start feeling weighed down. Desire is a seed which grows fruits of unhappiness. Actually the trouble is that we demand too much. The only solution to this problem is to break out of this cycle of desires and struggles.Actually, happiness and unhappiness are two sides of the same coin. The desire for happiness is like asking only for the light and not for darkness. But there is not much difference between light and darkness. It is matter of degree only. If we think deeper, we will realize that it is this pain of failure, pain of frustrated desires which is of greater significance to us. It is actually like good health. One can only define health as an absence of diseases. In order to have good health we strive to avoid diseases. You cannot purchase or achieve good health directly. You have to take steps which keep your body free of diseases. Then only the organs of body keep functioning properly and you experience good health. Similarly, when one destroys the root cause of unhappiness, the problems are over. And the root cause of all our unhappiness is DESIRE.32.

What can be concluded from the passage? A. In fact, it takes people much to feel happy B. No people are willing to limit their desires C. While seeking happiness, you have to accept unhappiness D. To have good health, people should try to feel happy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。 Every person wants to achieve the goals set at the beginning of a new school year. The following are some ways to help you achieve your goals. _36_When it es to choosing your goal, ensure that it states precisely what it is that you want to achieve. Dont generalize. Your goal should involve both what you want to achieve and the effort that you will put in to achieve it. _37_Having a copy of your goal makes it real. You can write you goal in a journal youll be keeping all year, or you can write it on a poster and stick it on your desk so that you can look at it each day.
