I first began experiencing anxiety and depression at age 14 after being bullied (霸凌) at school for years. While at first anxiety and depression would come and go, it eventually became constant part of my life.
I was so set on finding the solution to overcoming it that I tried everything from which I was in college to graduate school: mood-changing medication, special teas, yoga, things I read in books, and advice given by doctors. Despite this, I still felt I hadn’t even come close to managing the problem.
But one afternoon, I spotted an article in a magazine talking about how dogs were all to help people with anxiety and depression. The next day, I managed to get a dog — corgi.
However, once the “puppy excitement” went away, my anxiety and depression came back as usual. One morning, I woke up with those familiar feelings again. I didn’t want to get out of bed. I turned to pull the covers back over my head and give up. That’s when I saw my pet—Buddy.
Buddy started jumping all over me, licking (舔) my face, and letting me know that it was time to go outside. It was as if he were saying, “There’s no time to be sad! The world is amazing!” And for the first time in my life, on a day when my anxiety and depression were strong, I got out of bed. I put on my winter clothes and went for a walk in the snow with my new friend. I realized at that moment, walking down the street in winter , my life was changing. I really was a new girl.
Sure, I still have days when I feel down or anxious. But with Buddy by my side, I’ve finally learned how to manage these feelings and emotions.

Three minutes of looking at red light once a week may help our eyesight (the ability to see), new research suggests. The findings show that red light might be a cheap and easy treatment for declines in color vision as we get older.
Last year, researchers from University College London did a study on red light therapy (疗法). 24 healthy volunteers, aged between 28 and 72, were asked to look at red light for three minutes every day for two weeks. Tests later found that the eyesight of people over the age of 40 improved.
To test the possible weak points of their therapy, they did a new study this year. Instead of using the light every day, they used it once a week. The new study included 20 volunteers, aged between 34 and 70, all with healthy vision. Some received red light therapy in the morning, and others received it in the afternoon. They were then tested on their color vision up to a week later.
On the whole, those who got the treatment in the morning showed a 17% improvement in their color vision, even a week later. Those who got the treatment in the afternoon did not have any improvement.
“We’ve found that one single exposure to red light in the morning can greatly improve declining vision,” said lead author Glen Jeffrey.
The findings do support their earlier work, and they might make the treatment more practicable, since a once-weekly treatment is easier to stick to than a daily one. However, the team’s promising results are still drawn on small numbers of healthy volunteers. Larger studies would be needed to show the benefits of red light therapy.
“In the near future, a once-a-week three-minute exposure to deep red light could be done while making a coffee or listening to a song, and such a simple thing could change eye care and vision around the world,” Jeffrey said.
Given its low cost (as little as $15) per device, and simplicity, the team is excited about the future of their therapy.
28．What plays a key role in red light therapy
A.The time of day for treatment. B.The device used in the treatment.
C.The time that one treatment lasts. D.The number of treatments received.
29．What makes it necessary to improve the study
A.The age of the volunteers. B.The number of the volunteers.
C.The poor vision of the volunteers. D.The health condition of the volunteers.
30．In which column of a magazine can we find this article
A.Travel. B.Business. C.Entertainment. D.Health.
31．What is the purpose of this text
A.To stress the importance of eye care.
B.To explain the value of deep red light.
C.To introduce a therapy to fight vision decline.
D.To encourage aged people to protect their eyesight.
D
Which comes first, happiness or money Are richer people happier And if so, how do people get much richer A recent study could tell you the answer.
The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29. Those who were happiest earned an average of 8,000 more than those who were the most depressed.
The researchers, from University College London and the University of Warwick, say that very gloomy teens, no matter how tall or smart they were, earned 10% less than their peers, while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.
Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school, college and a job interview, chiefly because they always feel better about life. It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends, who are often the key to homework help or networking.
A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness. In August, scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women. However, the same gene doesn’t appear to have the same effect on men. And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest.
The big question is: if it really is true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids, is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades. Studies do show, after all, that more education leads to better paid jobs, which may give us a deep thought.
“These findings show that the teenagers’ happiness is important to their future success, ” one of the report’s authors writes. “But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork.”
32. What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study
A. Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all.
B. Money can make people become happier.
C. Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier.
D. Schoolwork can help teens achieve success.
33. The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that .
A. they are hopeful and optimistic about their life
B. they are good at doing their schoolwork
C. they are easy to communicate with others
D. they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day
34.The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”.
A. Wealthy B. generous C. happy D. depressed
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Way to Educate Kids B. The Secret of Being Wealthier
C. How to Achieve Your Goal D. The Source of Happiness
