Norway
Norway consistently lies on lists of the world's happiest countries. So what's the secret？Mette-Marit, one of the country's royals ,has one answer："We love being outside in nature."

For the third time in a week, Jodie, one of my students, refused me again. Passing my office door, she gave half-hearted wave and walked down the hall. Something was bothering her but I couldn't tell what. I thought it would pass. The next day when she all but ignored me again, a boyhood memory came to mind.
I was riding my bicycle, gliding, carefree, down the street, following a local political campaign, and stopping occasionally to pick up flyers and sweets the candidate （候选人） had thrown to the crowd. My fender （挡泥板） made a strange noise. One small part was holding it on. My father had warned me about it, but I didn't pay attention to his advice. "I'll fix it later," I had promised.
I was miles from home；I turned back, taking a short cut, even though I had to cross a four-lane road that I wasn't supposed to go near. I waited for a break in the traffic, then stood up and threw my weight onto the bike. Just as I was about to make it across, the fender broke and slid down over the tyre, blocking it like a doorstop under a door. The bike stood on its nose and I went flying over the handlebars. I fell on to the rough pavement and slid for about six feet. I rolled over to see the cars and trucks thundering towards me. I dragged myself to the edge of the road. For a long time I lay there. My hands and the skin of my stomach were very painful.
All these years later I remember my father's words Better fix that before it gets too bad to fix. Small problems grow into big ones if they aren't attended to. Good relationships could unravel if conflicts aren't dealt with. So, the next time I saw my student Jodie, I asked her, "Can you come over to my office " We needed to talk.
What reminded the author of the incident happening in his childhood ______
A. His thought that all would be fine.
B. Jodie's paying no attention to him.
C. The matter that was bothering Jodie.
D. The abnormal frequency of meeting Jodie.
Why didn't the author take his father's advice ______
A. He found it difficult to fix the bike.
B. He didn't want to keep his promise.
C. He thought there was nothing serious.
D. He wanted to better support the candidate
What can we infer from paragraph 3 ______
A. The author didn't get any injuries in the accident.
B. The bike was at high speed when it stopped suddenly.
C. The author didn't think it was dangerous to cross the road.
D. Cars and trucks slowed down when the author fell off his bike.
What does the underlined word "unravel" in the last paragraph probably mean ______
A. Disappear. B. Wait. C. Benefit. D. Survive.
C
The United States Congress has passed a bill which created a new requirement for carmakers：they must have systems built into new cars as early as 2026 that can keep drunk people from driving car.
"It's a remarkable decision." said Alex Otte. She is president of the organization Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Otte added that the bill would remove "the number-one killer on America's roads".
Last month, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration（NHTSA）reported that an estimated 20，160 people died in car crashes in the first half of 2021.That is the highest first-half total since 2006.The agency says that fast driving, drunk driving and not wearing seatbelts are reasons for the increase. Each year, around 10，000 people in the United States are killed because of alcohol-related ear crashes. That is almost 30 percent of all traffic deaths, the NHTSA says.
Currently, some people who were charged with drunk driving in the past must use a breathalyzer device in order to start their car. A breathalyzer measures blood alcohol level. The device can turn off a car if the driver's blood alcohol level is too high.
The bill does not name a kind of technology, only saying that it must identify whether that driver may be drunk.
Sam Abuelsamid is with Guidehouse Insights, a market research company. He said the most likely system to prevent drunken driving is infrared（红外线的）cameras that look for driver behavior.
The cameras make sure a driver is watching the road, and they look for signs of being sleepy or drunk. If the system sees any signs, the car will warn the driver. If the behavior continues, the car will turn on warning lights, slow down and move to the side of the road. Such technology is already being used by some carmakers.
The bill also requires carmakers to create back-seat reminders to tell parents if a child is left in the back seat. Congress has also ordered the NHTSA to make new safety requirements for cars. Many carmakers, however, have already made those changes in their latest models.
What may Alex Otte agree with ______
A. The requirement is very necessary.
B. Carmakers will be against the requirement.
C. 2021 has seen the most car crashes since 2006.
D. Few traffic deaths are related to drunk driving.
What's the bill's only concern about the system ______
A. Its costs. B. The technology it uses.
C. Its effectiveness. D. The company that produces it.
What can be learned about infrared cameras ______
A. They measure blood alcohol level.
B. They can partly control the car.
C. They can be used as emergency brakes.
D. They can prevent children from being left in the back seat.
What can be the best title for the text ______
A. Harm Resulting from Dunk Driving Is Being Recognized
B. The Total Number of Traffic Deaths Is Going Historically High
C. More Carmakers Use New Technology to Stop Dunk Driving
D. US Congress Requires New Technology to Stop Drunk Driving
D
A study has found that when people burn extra calories by working out, the body starts to compensate by reducing the amount of energy spent on functions to stay alive, such as sleeping or digestion. About a quarter of the calories burnt during a workout are then budgeted for later on, meaning that overall the total number of calories burnt is less than expected. For overweight people, it is estimated that about half of calories burnt during periods of higher activity were later compensated for.
Researchers at the University of Roehampton found that the calories the body burns to keep ticking over decrease by 28 per cent during periods when daily exercise levels are consistently high. This means the more we exercise over the long-term, the less calories our bodies bum for the most rudimentary（基本的）activities. he results show that only 54 per cent of the calories used by exercise or activity among people who have the highest body mass actually translated into calories burnt at the end of the day, due to their bodies reducing the energy spent on the most basic of functions. In contrast, 70 per cent of calories burnt during activity by those with the lowest body mass translated into more calories burnt at the end of the day.
Professor Lewis Halsey, of the department of life sciences, said："Around the world, national guidelines tend to recommend a 500-600 calorie deficit（热量赤字）through exercising and dieting to lose weight. However, they do not take into account the reduction of calories being burnt in the most basic of human functions as the body compensates for the calories burnt on the exercise as shown in our research, and the variation in this compensation between people with different levels of body fat."
In this study they found no differences between men and women in the energy lost during activity. But since the research shows overweight people who exercise burn significantly fewer calories on day-to-day functions, there is a need for greater personalization of exercise plans depending upon body mass.
Why are calories burnt by exercise less than expected according to the study ______
A. Time spent on exercise is limited.
B. Exercise levels are not high enough.
C. People tend to overeat after exercise.
D. They are compensated for by the body.
How does the writer develop paragraph 2 ______
A. By analyzing causes. B. By raising examples.
C. By providing statistics. D. By explaining concepts.
What does Lewis Halsey think of the present national guidelines on losing weight ______
A. They are worth recommending.
B. They are supposed to be revised.
C. They neglect gender differences.
D. They take body mass into account.
Which of the following can be the best title for the text ______
A. Overweight Exercisers Burn Fewer Calories
B. Ways to Keep Fit by Exercising and Dieting
C. Sleeping and Digestion Function to Stay Alive
D. Personalized Exercise Plans on Losing Weight

Being clever at managing money does not necessarily mean a large bank account or getting involved in a high-risk investment. But no matter what your current situation is, you can be more financially smart in your everyday life. (36)
Look at your monthly income. (37) To achieve this, you should start by calculating your total monthly income and create a household budget. Then you can stay within your earnings each month.
Set up a separate savings account. Exactly how much you save will depend upon your job, your personal expenses, and your individual financial goals. Therefore, to save something each month, you will find it necessary to open a savings account (38) Gradually, the fast growing savings will definitely make your budget more comfortable.
Pay of debts. You first need to work out your total debt numbers and how long it will realistically take to pay off. If you have high-interest debts like credit cards, prioritize paying it off. If you have a short-term loan, also pay that down, as quickly as possible. (39)
(40) You should prioritize your needs. Do not pay any money toward non-essential expenses until all of your necessary living costs have been paid. Besides, taking time to shop around can help you find the best deals. Shopping online and out-of-season is also particularly useful for the best prices for your needs.
A. Make better spending decisions.
B. Buy out-of-season things for discounts.
C. When you have some additional income, put it there.
D. Several approaches can help you get a sense of financial security.
E. Making money can be easier when you know what you are saving for.
F. Such loans can become very expensive if not paid off in full and on time.

For the third time in a week, Jodie, one of my students, refused me again. Passing my office door, she gave half-hearted wave and walked down the hall. Something was bothering her but I couldn't tell what. I thought it would pass. The next day when she all but ignored me again, a boyhood memory came to mind.
I was riding my bicycle, gliding, carefree, down the street, following a local political campaign, and stopping occasionally to pick up flyers and sweets the candidate （候选人） had thrown to the crowd. My fender （挡泥板） made a strange noise. One small part was holding it on. My father had warned me about it, but I didn't pay attention to his advice. "I'll fix it later," I had promised.
I was miles from home；I turned back, taking a short cut, even though I had to cross a four-lane road that I wasn't supposed to go near. I waited for a break in the traffic, then stood up and threw my weight onto the bike. Just as I was about to make it across, the fender broke and slid down over the tyre, blocking it like a doorstop under a door. The bike stood on its nose and I went flying over the handlebars. I fell on to the rough pavement and slid for about six feet. I rolled over to see the cars and trucks thundering towards me. I dragged myself to the edge of the road. For a long time I lay there. My hands and the skin of my stomach were very painful.
All these years later I remember my father's words Better fix that before it gets too bad to fix. Small problems grow into big ones if they aren't attended to. Good relationships could unravel if conflicts aren't dealt with. So, the next time I saw my student Jodie, I asked her, "Can you come over to my office " We needed to talk.
What reminded the author of the incident happening in his childhood ______
A. His thought that all would be fine.
B. Jodie's paying no attention to him.
C. The matter that was bothering Jodie.
D. The abnormal frequency of meeting Jodie.
Why didn't the author take his father's advice ______
A. He found it difficult to fix the bike.
B. He didn't want to keep his promise.
C. He thought there was nothing serious.
D. He wanted to better support the candidate
What can we infer from paragraph 3 ______
A. The author didn't get any injuries in the accident.
B. The bike was at high speed when it stopped suddenly.
C. The author didn't think it was dangerous to cross the road.
D. Cars and trucks slowed down when the author fell off his bike.
What does the underlined word "unravel" in the last paragraph probably mean ______

The United States Congress has passed a bill which created a new requirement for carmakers：they must have systems built into new cars as early as 2026 that can keep drunk people from driving car.
"It's a remarkable decision." said Alex Otte. She is president of the organization Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Otte added that the bill would remove "the number-one killer on America's roads".
Last month, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration（NHTSA）reported that an estimated 20，160 people died in car crashes in the first half of 2021.That is the highest first-half total since 2006.The agency says that fast driving, drunk driving and not wearing seatbelts are reasons for the increase. Each year, around 10，000 people in the United States are killed because of alcohol-related ear crashes. That is almost 30 percent of all traffic deaths, the NHTSA says.
Currently, some people who were charged with drunk driving in the past must use a breathalyzer device in order to start their car. A breathalyzer measures blood alcohol level. The device can turn off a car if the driver's blood alcohol level is too high.
The bill does not name a kind of technology, only saying that it must identify whether that driver may be drunk.
Sam Abuelsamid is with Guidehouse Insights, a market research company. He said the most likely system to prevent drunken driving is infrared（红外线的）cameras that look for driver behavior.
The cameras make sure a driver is watching the road, and they look for signs of being sleepy or drunk. If the system sees any signs, the car will warn the driver. If the behavior continues, the car will turn on warning lights, slow down and move to the side of the road. Such technology is already being used by some carmakers.
The bill also requires carmakers to create back-seat reminders to tell parents if a child is left in the back seat. Congress has also ordered the NHTSA to make new safety requirements for cars. Many carmakers, however, have already made those changes in their latest models.
What may Alex Otte agree with ______
A. The requirement is very necessary.
B. Carmakers will be against the requirement.
C. 2021 has seen the most car crashes since 2006.
D. Few traffic deaths are related to drunk driving.
What's the bill's only concern about the system ______
A. Its costs. B. The technology it uses.
C. Its effectiveness. D. The company that produces it.
What can be learned about infrared cameras ______
A. They measure blood alcohol level.
B. They can partly control the car.
C. They can be used as emergency brakes.
D. They can prevent children from being left in the back seat.
What can be the best title for the text ______
A. Harm Resulting from Dunk Driving Is Being Recognized
B. The Total Number of Traffic Deaths Is Going Historically High
C. More Carmakers Use New Technology to Stop Dunk Driving
D. US Congress Requires New Technology to Stop Drunk Driving
D
A study has found that when people burn extra calories by working out, the body starts to compensate by reducing the amount of energy spent on functions to stay alive, such as sleeping or digestion. About a quarter of the calories burnt during a workout are then budgeted for later on, meaning that overall the total number of calories burnt is less than expected. For overweight people, it is estimated that about half of calories burnt during periods of higher activity were later compensated for.
Researchers at the University of Roehampton found that the calories the body burns to keep ticking over decrease by 28 per cent during periods when daily exercise levels are consistently high. This means the more we exercise over the long-term, the less calories our bodies bum for the most rudimentary（基本的）activities. he results show that only 54 per cent of the calories used by exercise or activity among people who have the highest body mass actually translated into calories burnt at the end of the day, due to their bodies reducing the energy spent on the most basic of functions. In contrast, 70 per cent of calories burnt during activity by those with the lowest body mass translated into more calories burnt at the end of the day.
Professor Lewis Halsey, of the department of life sciences, said："Around the world, national guidelines tend to recommend a 500-600 calorie deficit（热量赤字）through exercising and dieting to lose weight. However, they do not take into account the reduction of calories being burnt in the most basic of human functions as the body compensates for the calories burnt on the exercise as shown in our research, and the variation in this compensation between people with different levels of body fat."
In this study they found no differences between men and women in the energy lost during activity. But since the research shows overweight people who exercise burn significantly fewer calories on day-to-day functions, there is a need for greater personalization of exercise plans depending upon body mass.
Why are calories burnt by exercise less than expected according to the study ______
A. Time spent on exercise is limited.
B. Exercise levels are not high enough.
C. People tend to overeat after exercise.
D. They are compensated for by the body.
How does the writer develop paragraph 2 ______
A. By analyzing causes. B. By raising examples.
C. By providing statistics. D. By explaining concepts.
What does Lewis Halsey think of the present national guidelines on losing weight ______
A. They are worth recommending.
B. They are supposed to be revised.
C. They neglect gender differences.
D. They take body mass into account.
Which of the following can be the best title for the text ______
A. Overweight Exercisers Burn Fewer Calories
B. Ways to Keep Fit by Exercising and Dieting
C. Sleeping and Digestion Function to Stay Alive
D. Personalized Exercise Plans on Losing Weight

Student Volunteers Brought Sunshine to the Elderly
On March 1st, our school went to Sunshine Nursing Home and did some voluntary work. Upon their arrival, we were warmly welcomed, and respectfully, they presented the elderly with flowers and fruits. Then, they started working at once, cleaning the windows and sweeping the floor. Everything done, they sat in the yard chatting with the elderly people.
When it was time for the volunteers to leave, the elderly people thanked them for their kindness. They said it was such a beautiful day that they would remember it forever.
We were very happy. What they did has brought joy to others and enriched their own lives.
