Want to stay away from colds Put on a happy face. Happy and relaxed people are less likely to (不太可能) catch colds, according to a new study. It’s possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.
“It seems that positive (积极的) feelings may reduce (减少) the danger of illness,” said the study’s researcher Sheldon Cohen. In an earlier study, Cohen found that cheerful and lively people caught coughs and colds less often.
In this study, Cohen’s team interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers about the happy or sad feelings they had that day. After two weeks, doctors made them catch colds and they had to stay alone in a room for six days.
The result showed that for people who said they felt happy during the research, their illness was less serious and lasted for a shorter time.
Cohen believes that when people experienced positive feelings, their body may produce (产生) something that helps fight illness. So if you are worried about your health, look on the bright side more often.
56. Which of the following was NOT a part of the study
A. People talked about their feelings every day. B. People stayed alone for six days.
C. Doctors made them catch colds. D. Doctors made them feel excited.
57. What did the study find
A. People who felt happy never got ill. B. People’s feelings didn’t influence (影响) their health.
C. People with good feelings became ill more easily.
D. People with positive feelings had less serious illnesses.
58. According to Cohen, which of the following may help fight illness
A. Eating. B. Crying. C. Laughing. D. Sleeping.
59. This passage is from ______.
A. a travel magazine B. a newspaper C. a story book D. a student’s diary
60. What is the best title for this passage
A. Smiles can fight colds B. The cause of colds C. The danger of colds D. How people get sick
C
It was dark that night and it wasn’t easy to see where we were going. Suddenly, a big steamboat (汽船) came at us very fast. Jim and I jumped off the raft (木筏) into the water. The boat hit the raft and went on up the river.
When I came up out of the water, I couldn’t see Jim anywhere. I called out his name again and again, but there was no answer. “He’s dead!” I thought. Slowly, I swam to the side of the river and got out. I was near a big old wooden house. Suddenly, a lot of angry dogs jumped out at me and someone called from the house, “Who’s there ”
“George Jackson,” I answered quickly. “I’ve fallen off a river boat.”
The people in that house took me in and gave me some new clothes and a good meal. I told them that my family were all dead, so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted.
A few days later, a slave (奴隶) in the house came to me and said, “Come with me!” Together, we went down to some trees by the river. “In there!” he said and went away.
On the ground, I found a man, asleep. It was Jim! I was really happy to see him. When the steamboat hit the raft, Jim told me, the raft didn’t crash. Jim swam after it and caught it. Then he began to look for me.
We decided to leave at once. It’s all right living in a house for a little while, but we feel more free and easy and comfortable on a raft.
61. People in that house didn’t give George Jackson ______.
A. a nice meal B. much money C. new clothes D. a place to live
★★62. Why did George answer “quickly” when someone called from the house
A. Because he felt afraid and nervous. B. Because he wanted to stay there.
C. Because felt happy and lucky. D. Because he was nearly dying.
63. What’s the best word to describe Jim
A. Lazy B. Patient. C. Loyal (忠实的). D. Confident.
64. What’s the correct order of the following events
a. George found Jim on the ground.
b. The steamboat hit the raft.
c. George swam to the side of the river and got out.
d. George and Jim decided to leave the house.
A. a-d-c-b B. b-c-d-a C. b-c-a-d D. d-a-b-c
65. Why did George and Jim decide to leave the house according to the passage
A. Because they were afraid of the dogs. B. Because they were afraid of the people.
C. Because they wanted to be more free. D. Because they thought the life in the house was easy.
（二）阅读下面短文，从所给选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺，结构完整，其中有一项是多余选项。
As you know, homework is a big part of going to school. Sometimes, it may be difficult for us to finish all the homework on time. And we would like it easy. 66
Make a homework plan
Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you may need to spend even more time. 67 , especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after school.
Watch where you work
A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your homework.
68 Otherwise, you might fall asleep there.
Take a break
69 , so it may be helpful to take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive (多产的) than if you stop to take a break regularly. Taking a 10- minute break every hour is a good way for most people.
Get help when you need it
Sometimes even though you are listening carefully in class, some subjects seem too hard. The first person to ask for help is your teacher. He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly. 70 However, this might not give you the results you want. Lots of people understand something well but are not able to explain it.
六、阅读并回答问题。
What type of book do you like I prefer the book about Chinese culture. Here is an excerpt (选段).
The dragon is a great animal in Chinese culture. It brings the wind and rain. It is said that every year on the second day of the second lunar (阴历的) month, the dragon wakes up from its winter sleep and raises its head. Because of this, the day is called “Dragon Head-raising Day” (Longtaitou). This year, it falls on February 21.
Old people believed that after Longtaitou, there would be more rain. And rain is very important to farming. So Longtaitou was the start of spring and farming.
People have many ways to celebrate the Longtaitou festival. The most popular one is to have a haircut. Many believe that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to your uncles—mainly your mother’s brothers. They hope getting a haircut on Longtaitou gets rid of (摆脱) bad luck.
Among Chinese people’s festival traditions, there is always a place for food. During the Longtaitou festival, people eat food named after dragons. Noodles are called dragon’s beard (longxu). Dumplings are dragon’s ears (long’er). And spring rolls are dragon’s scales (longlin).
People also hold activities like dragon dancing on the day. In some places in Shandong province, people make dragon lanterns too. Small reed (芦苇) boats go down the rivers and carry the lanterns, which stand for people’s best wishes and good luck.
