I am a big laugher. I’ve been told that even in a room of a thousand people, you can always hear me laughing over the crowd. For me, laughter is the ultimate form of embodied joy. And by “embodied”, I mean that my whole body is involved when I laugh. On the inside, it’s like a bubbling fountain of joy spilling out all over the place.
But what is joy, anyway
Life can be terrible, but if you decide to follow the sound of the joy-fountain, you will find joy showing up in all kinds of places: pets playfully bouncing around, kindness, or even in nothingness.
How can joy be found A friend moved into a new apartment and needed some help, so I helped him. Afterwards, he was obviously so much happier and at ease. I noticed that playing even a small part in his happiness brought me great joy, and I took a moment to let this feeling of embodied joy in. We can practice letting joy in by noticing how it feels to smile. Where does your body light up when you smile When I smile, it makes me want to take a deep breath, and I notice my shoulders and belly relaxing. When I embody caring and loving, it feels great!
Sadly, many of us are unaware of joy, or suspicious of it. Maybe you are afraid to open up to joy, or maybe you are so unfamiliar with what joy feels like that you ignore or resist it when it comes knocking. No one, other than you, owns your happiness, but you might unknowingly block feelings or experiences that help you embody joy. The fact is that when you can’t embody joy, you miss out on one of life’s essential vitamins.
Want more joy Don’t be afraid to look silly. Silliness helps us take things less personally. It helps us see the world the way a kid does. When we can find more joy in the smalls of everyday life, we can embody happiness, rather than just pursuing it.
4、How is the topic of joy introduced at the beginning of the passage
A. By highlighting a joyful experience.
B. By stressing the importance of laughing
C. By sharing the author’s understanding of joy.
D. By presenting an ultimate form of satisfaction.
5、What might be the author’s advice on finding joy
A. Taking a deep breath. B. Smiling to your friends.
C. Reflecting on nothingness. D. Doing small acts of kindness.
6、What might be the reason for many of us missing out on joy
A. That many of us refuse it on purpose.
B. That many of us are insensitive to joy.
C. That many of us lack life’s essential vitamins.
D. That many of us are likely to take joy for granted.
7、What message does the author convey in this text
A. He who laughs last laughs best.
B. Happy people are happy in childhood.
C. Worry does not seek, but man seeks it.
D. Love of joy is belief; the creation of joy is life.
B
Across the gardens of Britain, people are building sheds. People have gone crazy about sheds. The Timber Trade Federation reports that in October, the last month for which statistics were available, imports of softwood were 34% higher than a year earlier. With stocks (库存) running low, what wood is available is quickly sold out.
A garden shed used to be mostly a place to store tools, or a place to discuss how to grow flowers and enjoy tea and snacks while the rain falls outside, according to Michael Rand, an expert gardener. But the creative brain-worker has long put it to more productive use. Roald Dahl and Dylan Thomas wrote in sheds. George Bernard Shaw had one in his Hertfordshire garden that faced the sun.
Besides growing flowers, the sheds now being built are also often intended for work. However, they are grander than the ones those pioneer shed-writers used. Green Retreats, which mostly builds garden offices, says that overall sales on building sheds grew by 113% between 2019 and 2020. Larger and fancier structures are especially popular.
This has an important impact on cities. Urban scholars like Richard Florida and Edward Glaeser are busy trying to work out whether the rise in home-working that has occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic will continue when the virus declines. If it does, many service jobs in cities, from waiters to taxi drivers, will disappear. Public transport systems will struggle. The value of city-centre housing will drop. The shed boom makes that outcome more likely.
A white-collar worker who has tried to work from the kitchen table for the past nine months might be keen to return to the office. A worker who has a beautiful garden shed with Wi-Fi will not hope so. Joel Bird, who builds personalized sheds, is certain that his customers expect a long-term change in their working habits. “They don’t consider home-working to be temporary,” he says. “They’re spending too much money on sheds.”
8、Why did Britain buy more softwood from other countries
A. Softwood was cheaper this year.
B. Demands for sheds were on the rise.
C. Softwood suppliers were fewer than before.
D. Britons stored softwood like crazy due to COVID-19.
9、What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Previous shed-writers. B. Various functions of sheds.
C. Improvements on shed-building. D. The advantages of garden-sheds.
10、What can we infer from the text
A. The shed boom might threaten economy in cities.
B. Workers are eager to return to work in their offices.
C. More people prefer gardening in their beautiful sheds.
D. People’s working habits remain the same after COVID-19.
11、What is Joel Bird’s attitude to returning to work in office after COVID-19
A. Unclear. B. Optimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Pessimistic.
C
Ariel Novoplansky, an ecologist in Israel, set up an experiment among pea plants to study how they communicate with each other.
In the experiments Ariel put the pea plants in rows of containers. The center plant in the row was the target. The pea plants had been grown with two main roots. On one side, each pea plant had one root in its own pot and the other reaching into a neighbor’s pot. The central plant connected to its closest neighbor, which connected to another neighbor, and so on down the line. On the other side, all the plants kept their roots in their own pots, unconnected to their neighbors.
With everything ready, the ecologist created a dryness for the central target plant, which had quickly closed up its leaf pores (气孔) to save water. Amazingly, the connected plants on one side gradually closed up their leaf pores, even though only one of them had experienced real dryness. On the other side, with unconnected roots pea chain, all their pores stayed open. This means the warning signal didn’t travel from the stressed plants leaves through the air, but only from its roots through the soil.
It’s possible that plants are just eavesdropping (偷听) even if the damaged plant didn’t mean to send signals to them. Maybe the damaged plant leaks certain chemicals and nearby roots could sense those signals. But the plants with connected roots that weren’t dried out passed on the drought signals to their neighbors too, which means simple eavesdropping probably isn’t the answer. They seem to be having a real conversation, picking up information on one side and sharing it with a neighbor on the other.
The benefit to a plant that receives this information is pretty clear. But what’s the benefit to sending a danger signal to your neighbor Remember, your neighbor may actually be you.
12、Which aspect of the experiment does paragraph 2 mainly concern
A. Its finding. B. Its application. C. Its purpose. D. Its design.
13、How do the pea plants communicate in the experiment
A. By connecting their roots. B. By opening their leaf pores.
C. By spreading a special smell. D. By leaking certain chemicals.
14、Which word best describes the communication between plants
A. Confidential. B. Cooperative. C. Long-distance. D. Air-to-air.
15、Why does a plant send a danger signal to its neighbors according to the last paragraph
A. To better its surroundings. B. To make itself strong.
C. To develop its root. D. To keep itself safe.

16、 Anger is often regarded as a “negative” emotion we should be ashamed of. But what are we so afraid of Every emotion can teach us something about ourselves, how we’re really feeling, and whether there’s something wrong that we need to address. ①_____ It’s also advisable to tackle anger in a healthy way.
Start with curiosity. Imagine an iceberg; 90% of it is under the water, out of sight. ②_____ Think of anger as just the tip of that iceberg; a secondary emotion and the part we show, as therapist Beverley Hills explains, “We must recognize whether it’s a good or a negative anger and the reasons behind it. “Therefore, let’s get curious about what’s going on underneath the surface.
Look into your anger. Anger is one word that covers so many feelings.

Explore further. Take a piece of paper and write “I am angry because...” and then fill in the blank space. Every time you finish a sentence, add “because” and continue to write. Re-read what you’ve written down and start a new section with “I will change this anger to action by...”. Every time you finish a sentence, add “then” until you’ve run out of stream! ④_____
Scream, shout and let it out! Anger that remains unacknowledged can lead to unproductive interactions. ⑤_____ Find yourself a safe place away from others and let your anger out. You could beat a pillow with your fists while shouting and swearing, listen to loud music and go for a power walk, or write a letter to the issue, then tear it up.
A. Get a clear description of your anger.
B. But you have the power to change that.
C. This exercise will provide you with an action plan.
D. Therefore, anger empowers us every now and then.
E. This can be a great indication of exploring emotions.
F. So rather than shying away from our anger, it’s time we accepted it.
G. Keep writing until you feel you have everything out of your mind.
