Finland is the happiest place on Earth, according to the 2018 World Happiness Report of 156 nations.
The report, released Wednesday by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Solutions Network, ranks the countries of the world based on six different categories of well-being: income, freedom, trust, life expectancy, generosity and social support. This year's report also pays special attention to the happiness of each country’s immigrants.
The U.S. dropped four spots from 2017 and landed in 18th place, and last year’s winner, Norway, came in second place — followed by Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.
“The top five countries all have almost equally high values for the six factors found to support happiness, and four of these countries—Denmark, Switzerland, Norway and now Finland — have been in first place in the six World Happiness Report rankings since the first report" in 2012, ”co-editor John Helliwell told CNN. “In a division with such excellent teams, changes in the top spot are to be expected."
Rounding out the top 10 happiest countries was Canada in sixth place, then New Zealand, Sweden and Australia. The order of the top 10 nations changed from the 2017 list but the countries did not, according to the report. They were also 10 of the 11 top spots in the immigrant happiness category (including Mexico — 24th overall, but 10th in immigration).
“The most striking finding of the report is the remarkable consistency between the happiness of immigrants and the locally born,” Helliwell said in a statement. “Although immigrants come from countries with very different levels of happiness, their reported life evaluations resemble those of other residents in their new countries. Those who move to happier countries gain, while those who move to less happy countries lose.”
Other major world powers placed in significantly low spots on the list. Germany came in 15th, the UK was 19th — followed by Japan in 54th place, Russia in 59th and China in 86th.
The report, based on surveys completed by citizen volunteers, came just under a week before World Happiness Day on March 20, when the UN declared to recognize “the relevance of happiness and well-being as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world and the importance of their recognition in public policy objectives”
24. The US ranked ______ in 2017.
A. 14 B. 10 C. 18 D. 22
25. What is the most significant finding of the report
A. That immigrants are different from residents in the country.
B. That immigrants come from countries with different levels of happiness.
C. That immigrants become happy when they leave the country.
D. That immigrants and locals feel the similar level of happiness.
26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Happiness is no less important than any other aspect in life.
B. People’s happiness and well-being should be considered when it comes to policy-making.
C. The happiness report came under a week before World Happiness Day.
D. What the UN declared was beneficial to all human beings.
27. What is the best title of the passage
A. World Happiness Day. B. Happiness — forever pursuit.
C. What's your happiness index(指数) D. The 2018 World Happiness Report.

As the Camp Fire continued, killing at least 85 people and displacing thousands more in Northern California, Madison waited there.
Gaylord, the Anatolian shepherd mix’s owner, was not able to get to her home in Paradise, when the fire began to spread, meaning Madison was left behind. For weeks, all Gaylord could do was pray for Madison’s safety, according to California-based animal rescue organization Paw Print Rescue.
Sullivan, a volunteer with the organization, had already helped locate Madison’s brother Miguel in a different city. But Madison was even more difficult to find. Sullivan spotted Madison a few times in a canyon (峡谷), apparently guarding his land, and put out fresh food and water regularly in hopes that the dog would turn up, according to a Facebook post by Sullivan. She even placed an article of clothing that smelled like Gaylord near the home “to keep Madison’s hope alive until his people could return,” Sullivan wrote.
When the evacuation (疏散) order was lifted last week and Gaylord went back to her home—which had been ruined by the fire—her prayers were answered: Madison was there, seemingly protecting what little remained of his family’s home. “Well, I’m so happy to report that Gaylord was allowed to return to her home today and THERE MADISON WAS!!!! He had stayed to protect what was left of his home, and never gave up on his people!” Sullivan wrote in the comment on her Facebook post. “I’m so happy I’m crying as I write this! He didn’t give up through the storms or the fire!” she added.
Soon afterward, Madison was reunited with Miguel for the first time since the fire broke out. An emotional Gaylord said in an interview with the network that she was overcome with joy to see Madison waiting for her. She also expressed how grateful she was to Sullivan. Gaylord said fighting through tears, “You could never ask for better animals. He is the best dog.”
28. What did Madison do during the Camp Fire
A. He rescued Sullivan. B. He waited for Gaylord.
C. He stayed with Miguel. D. He ran away from Paradise.
29. Why did Sullivan place an article of clothing smelling like Gaylord near the home
A. To keep Madison warm. B. To get Madison to turn up.
C. To help Madison remember his owner. D. To encourage Madison not to give up.
30. Where was Madison finally found
A. In a different city. B. In a canyon. C. At a camp. D. At his home.
31. What quality is emphasized in this story
A. Patience. B. Unity. C. Devotion. D. Wisdom.
D
Scientists say they have found high levels of small plastic particles(颗粒) in Arctic snow. A German-Swiss research team collected snow samples(样本）from the Arctic and other areas. They included northern Germany, the Bavarian and Swiss Alps, and the North Sea island of Heligoland.When the researchers examined the samples in a laboratory, they were surprised to find very high levels of microplastics.
Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic. These plastic particles are generally smaller than 5 millimeters in length. They come from the breakdown of man-made plastic products and industrial waste.
The study found the highest levels of microplastics came from the Bavarian Alps. One snow sample from the area had 154,000 microplastic particles per liter. Samples collected from the Arctic had much lower levels. However, even samples from the Arctic contained up to 14,000 particles per liter.
The study also attempted to explore how some of the material could have been carried in the atmosphere. A limited number of earlier studies did find microplastics in the air of some cities, including Paris, Tehran and Dongguan, China.
Bergmann Melanie co-wrote the report on the new study. She believes the new study clearly shows that “the majority of the microplastic in the snow comes from the air.” The new study suggests that much of the microplastic found in Europe and the Arctic comes from the atmosphere and snow.
While there is growing concern about the effect of microplastics on the environment, scientists are still studying their possible harmful effects on humans and animals. “I hope the new study will lead to more research on this issue. I think microscopic plastic particles should be included in worldwide observations of air pollution levels.We really need to know what effects microplastics have on humans, especially if inhaled with the air that we breathe.” Bergmann said.
32. Why did scientists collect samples from so many places in paragragh 1
A. To make the research convincing. B. To attract people to explore there.
C. To measure the length of microplastics . D. To examine the samples easily in the lab.
33. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The risks of microplastics. B. The transport of microplastics.
C. The breakdown of plastic products. D. The description of microplastics.
34. What did the research team find about microplastics
A. Many people threw them away at the Alps.
B. They were delivered to remote areas through air.
C. They could be caught sight of in the air.
D. They had no great effect on the environment.
35. What can be inferred from what Bergmann said in the last paragraph
A. Scientists are worried about the the influence of microplastics.
B. We have found a practical solution to the environment problem.
C. The effect of microplastics on human must be urgently researched.
D. There is no need to change observations of air pollution levels.

Exam Anxiety
Has this ever happened to you You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. __36___
Everyone feels stressed during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of adequate preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance. __37___You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have revised.
___38___ Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don’t try and then you fail, you won’t feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard.
So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test ____39____ Yes, this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating. If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety. ___40___ You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating(分配) your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you’ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even better.
A. The first thing you should do is to be prepared.
B. People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.
C. If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone!
D. Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams.
E. Realizing time is almost up and that there’s still a lot of blank space will make you desperate.
F. However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work.
G. After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence.

I know a woman who tries hard to be a good custodian. I pass her every day after school as she pushes her cart(小车) down my hallway. Of course, she is my building's cleaner.
One Tuesday morning I came into school and saw a 41 on my desk from my custodian. It seemed that some unbearable first year students had damaged the bathroom in a particularly disgusting way and she had been 42 to clean it. This took 43 than she had expected. She had left the typewritten note on my desk to 44 for not being able to clean my room as she was 45 to do. At the beginning of the period, I shared her note with my first period 46 . When I mentioned that our custodian had apologized to us, their first 47 was to volunteer to seek out and beat up those first year students for making our custodian have to clean up their 48 . It turned out that just about all of my students also knew our custodian by name---all of them responded with smiles and 49 for a long time about this time or that time when she'd 50 each of them in the hallway. That she felt she needed to apologize 51 a strong reaction from many of the kids.
As the class period was about to end, I asked them to 52 the floor like I do every period and thanked them for picking up any garbage 53 it wasn't theirs. My entire class disappeared; they each disappeared instantly 54 their desks to pick up those annoying tiny pieces of paper that 55 so easily from notebooks. One girl made a（an） 56 that I later used with my other classes:" Her job might be to clean the room, but she shouldn't have to clean up 57 us. There's a difference.”
I believe that people know the difference between right and wrong. I believe that people appreciate it when others 58 take care of them. And I believe that people, even adolescents who are not quite yet mature, appreciate it when they see someone who takes 59 in her work. Sometimes we need a 60 of the things we take for granted...things like a good custodian to take care of us.

On New Year’s Day I went to a stamp exhibition, what proved to be an unique experience.
At 9：30, I arrived at the exhibition with my precious stamp album, eager and excited. To my delighted, there gathered crowds of stamp lover. Immediately I joined them and studied the stamps one by one. I was attracted by the artists’ delicate design and wanted to learn more. Then, some of us got together on twos and threes to share our collections, chat cheerfully about the stamps. We even told stories behind it like old friends.
