As it was winter there were few people in the park, and no one else was sitting down.
The next morning M ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ark’s father looked out of the window again and saw that the man still there. As he had to walk through the park later he stopped by the man’s bench and spoke to him. “Excuse my asking, but did you sleep there all night ” “Yes,” the man said, “and it’s all right. I have a dream that one day I shall sleep in that hotel.” Mark’s father felt so sorry for the man that he offered to pay for a room that night. He spoke to the manager, who was surprised and agreed to do what Mark’s father asked.
The next morning t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )here was a knock on the door, Mark’s father opened it and there stood the man. “I just came to thank you,” he said. “Why don’t you stay another night ” Mark’s father asked. The man hesitated, “No, I don’t think so. Thank you very much all the same.” Mark’s father asked why.
“Well, you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) see, in the park I often used to dream about a warm comfortable bed in the hotel, and I slept very well. But all last night I dreamed about my old hard bench, and I slept very badly indeed.”

Researchers found t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty．In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.
The findings came f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rom a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States．The Gallup(民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five．
The researchers a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry．They also asked about mental or emotional stress．
Arthur Stone at Ston ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.
Researchers say th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ey do not know why happiness increases as people get older．One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences．
Professor Stone say ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry．
The researchers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age．
The study also show ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older．However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men．
26. What can be the best title of the text
A. Happiness Varies with Ages B. Experience More, Worry Less
C. The Older, the Wiser D. Being Young, Being Happy
27. We can learn from the research that _________．
A. only when people get older will they feel happier
B. stress levels among the youngest are the highest
C. older people tend to be grateful
D. older people usually have no worries
28. According to the research, when people get older, _________．
A. they miss the old days B. they are physically weak
C. they have better self-control D. they are more emotional
29. What would the author probably talk about next
A. What influences happiness. B. How to live better．
C. How to keep happier. D. Why women are less happier．
30. The author is intended to _________．
A. advise how to reduce stress B. introduce a scientific finding
C. describe how to do research D. talk about human emotions
C
“Luck is a matter of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )preparation for meeting opportunity,” said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. I’ve never watched her show, but when a self-made billionaire gives life advice it’s probably worth listening to.
Her point is t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat blind luck is very rare. You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you. If you’re a Chinese, you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump(树桩) for a rabbit to run out and break its neck.
A book by the UK ps ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ychologist Richard Wiseman, called The Luck Factor, argues we can all make ourselves luckier. It’s not about going to a temple to burn some incense(香)and hopes that the gods will give you good fortune; it’s practical advice you can follow each day.
Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies. First he divided volunteers into two groups; those who said they were lucky in life and those who said they were not. He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through it to count how many photographs it had inside. On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds. Why On the second page of the newspaper, a command, “Stop counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper,” was written in big letters. The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message.
It’s easy to compar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper. They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an even better opportunity. People who are “lucky”, in fact, keep an open mind and don’t go through the same routine every day.
I first came to Chin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a in 2002 when it was considered a rather strange thing to do. Like many foreigners, my plan was to teach English for one year. Seven years later, and still here, I’ve had many great opportunities such as writing for newspapers and magazines. I did not dream these would have been possible. I’ve also never been sick, had an accident, got into a fight or had problems with the police. Coincidence After reading about Professor Wiseman’s studies I think not.
As Wiseman advises, I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )usually trust my own judgment. Your friends and parents may give you advice based on rational thinking, but it’s important to consider how you feel about each choice you make. Your feeling acts as a warning for a potential problem.
Finally, try to tu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rn bad luck into good. Even if you do fall down and break a leg, the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English.
31. Which of the fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llowing proverbs most agrees with the writer’s point
A. Make the best of a bad job.
B. Rome was not built in a day.
C. All is not gold that glitters.
D. A good heart conquers ill fortune.
32. What do you know about Oprah Winfrey
A. She became famous through her family background.
B. She was very lucky and seldom suffered setbacks in her life.
C. She is a British talk show host.
D. She became successful by her own effort.
33. The writer quote ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d the Chinese tale of a farmer in order to show __________.
A. luck is in your own hand
B. bad luck can turn into good
C. you should no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you
D. man can conquer(征服) nature
34. From the experiment Wiseman drew the conclusion that________.
A. lucky people are quick-minded
B. unlucky people are slow to read
C. lucky people often have an open mind
D. unlucky people are more creative
35. The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) word “spot” is the closest in meaning to“________”．
A. recognize B. mark
C. locate D. receive

When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or for the English This is a question that is not so foolish 61 it may ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网" \t "_blank ) seem, for I find that many students of English pay far more attention to the story than to the English. For instance, they care for how the mystery in the story 62 (solve), 63 do not remember a single sentence in the story and cannot tell what preposition(介词) is used before 64 certain word in the speech of a certain character.
Of course, 65 you want to know the story only ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网" \t "_blank ), you need not bother about the language. But a student of English differs from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网" \t "_blank ) a student of stories or 66 is called the general reader. As you may ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网" \t "_blank ) also have learned from the above, you ought to read not only very ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网" \t "_blank ) 67 (careful) but also aloud till you learn the passage 68 heart and can recite it as if it 69 (be)your own. On the one hand, this will teach you many useful words and phrases; on the other hand, it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in 70 (express).

Every one of us can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) make a great efforts to cut off the use of energy in our country. To begin with, all of us can start reducing the use of oils by driving only when we have a really need. That won't be easy, I know. But we have to start anywhere. What's more, we can go to work by bike once and twice a week, and we can also buy smaller cars that burn less oil. Other way is to watch our everyday use of water and electric at home. For example, how many times have you walked out of a room and leave the lights or television when no one else was there
