Are people less happy or more happy the older they get? If you answered more happy, then you were right, based on a study in 2008. It found that people usually become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.
The results came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony 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. Stress levels dropped suddenly after people reached their fifties.
Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their seventies. But t he people least likely to report feeling negative emotions* were those in their seventies and eighties.
The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional changes as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more stress and worry than men did.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, losing jobs. But they found influences like these did not affect* the levels of happiness related to* age.
So why would happiness increase with age? One reason is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better controlled of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.

A. story book B. guide book C. sports newspaper D. science magazine

31. People become happier as they get older because they ______.

B. can control their emotions better
C. are influenced by having children

阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
Forgiving (宽恕) someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits (好处). When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.
When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less clear and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and writer of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.
The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less sadness or hopelessness. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.
So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.
Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.
29. The writer of the passage tries to make his point clear by ______.
A. mentioning some studies B. sharing his own experience
C. raising some questions D. mentioning some health problems
30. The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to ______.
A. show how to control oneself
B. introduce a famous professor
C. support his point on anger and hatred
D. tell the readers cartoon characters are powerful when they get angry
31. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?
A. It’s not easy to know if you are angry.
B. People who are able to forgive feel less tired.
C. It’s hard to forgive someone who hurts you.
D. You can let your anger go by breathing deeply.
32. The best title for this passage is probably ______.
A. Forgiving Others Is Hard B. Anger Is Bad for Health
C. Learning to Forgive Is Important D. Forgiveness Is Good for Health

阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
“Face it, Andy. You sold your soul the day you put on that first pair of Jimmy Choo’s.” That line from the movie The Devil Wears Prada is an example showing how a shoemaker has become famous in the fashion world.
Jimmy Choos (Zhou Yangjie) is a native Malaysian of Chinese origin (出身), born in 1961 into a family of shoemakers. He created his first pair of shoes at age 11. His family couldn’t pay for his schooling, so he dropped out at a young age. He had to work with his father to support the family. But his dream to be a fashion designer never disappeared, so he did all he could to enter an art college and finally took up a position in the fashion world through his talent and willpower.
Choo graduated from a college in London and had a small workshop there. He hit the international fashion scene when Vogue magazine described his designs in eight pages in 1988. His work was immediately popular and got love and support from Diana, Princess of Wales.
Jimmy Choo shoes are known for their very high heels (鞋跟) and pointed toes. However, he does some flats and lower-heeled shoes for other women. Choo co-founded Jimmy Choo Ltd. with Tamara Mellon, UK Vogue editor, but left the company in 2001.
Jimmy Choo shops have opened around the world, so his designs are more accessible to those who want a designer shoe, and can afford his prices. Choo also has a website where shoppers can view his ready-to-wear designs. The brand (牌子) of Jimmy Choo has been comparable to top brands, like Channel, LV, etc. But it’s still young and has a bright future.
We can’t imagine how hard it is for Choo to stand out in the worldwide fashion! He must have made greater efforts and had more difficulties than others. And so he did. So stop complaining about why good luck isn’t always falling on you and devote yourselves to your work now.
33. What is Paragraph 1 written for?
A. Comparing movies with fashion. B. Showing the shoes are popular.
C. Introducing the following passage. D. Attracting readers’ attention to the shoes.
34. When he was young, Jimmy Choo ______.
A. had got no education
B. showed his talent in making shoes
C. made himself a famous fashion designer
D. was born in China and then moved to Malaysia
35. What do the underlined words “more accessible” mean in Paragraph 5?
A. Easier to get. B. Easier to spread.
C. Harder to imagine. D. Harder to accept.
36. Which of the following is the correct order about Jimmy Choo?
a. He opened his shops around the world.
b. His shoes appeared in Vogue magazine.
c. He created his first pair of shoes.
d. He had his workshop in London.
e. Jimmy Choo Ltd. was set up.
A. c-d-b-a-e B. c-b-d-e-a C. d-c-b-e-a D. c-d-b-e-a
37. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Choo was lucky enough when he was young.
B. Choo must be thankful for Vogue magazine.
C. “Jimmy Choo” is a brand with a long history.
D. It’s much harder for a man to succeed in the fashion world.

【2016中考模拟】阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳的答案。
Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.
Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.
Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen（食堂）, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.
31. Why do many hotels provide guests with some disposable things?
A. Let their guests be convenient during their traveling.
B. Hope their guests use less disposable things.
C. Wish their guests to save money.
D. Want their guests to use more disposable things.
32. Some Beijing hotels will no longer provide guests with ____. A. cheap food and drink B. disposable things C. good service D. free TV program
33. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Many disposable things are made of plastic. B. Throwing disposable things away is a waste of natural resources. C. Plastic is very bad for the environment. D. Plastic breaks down easily.
34. What can we do to make our world a better place at home and school?
A. Use shopping bags made of plastic.
B. Do not throw away paper cups.
C. Use disposable plates, bowls and chopsticks.
D. Do not forget to reuse daily necessities（日用品）if possible.
35. We can tell from the story that ____. A. people don't like disposable things at all B. we can't use paper or plastic bowls at school C. we should use less plastic things and protect our environment D. hotels won't provide disposable things because they want to save money

Have you ever heard your own voice? “Of course,” you say.
Has anyone else ever heard your voice? Again you say, “Of course.”
But that’s not quite true. Nobody else has ever heard your voice—the way you hear it. When you talk, you set up sound waves(声波). The air outside your head carries the sound waves to your outer ears. But, of course, the sound of your voice begins inside your head. The bones(骨头) of your head pick up the sound waves, too. They carry the sound waves straight to your inner ears. You get the sound?from?the outside and the inside too. Other people get just the sound waves from the outside. That’s why they don’t hear your voice the way you do.
( ) 71. Sound travels in the form of __________.
A. bones B. air C. waves
( ) 72. The sound of your voice begins ________.
A. inside your head B. outside your head C. in your inner ears

Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.
When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding (婚礼) and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown. ” I had no idea how to find Linda.
Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.
One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman — Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but I still wrote to her.
She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother. ”
Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!

The right name is important in the business world. All you have to do is think of the names for some of the product are connected in everyone’s mind.
In many countries, successful trade or brand names are protected by law. This is so that other companies cannot make a product that looks like another. People might think that they were buying one product and, in fact , be buying something different. Businesses register a company or a product name with the government. In fact, more than 1,000 product and company names are registered every hour. Many companies spend a lot of money to find the right name for their products. A good example of this is in the car industry. Some successful names for cars have powerful associations（联系）. The Ford Mustang and the Jaguar are only two examples of choosing the names of animals that are fast and strong.
When a U.S. company decides to sell its product in another country, it has to make sure that the product name translates properly. When Coca-Cola introduced its soft drink to China, it looked for the right name. It wanted a name that would do two things. One was to present its image in Chinese and the second was to be close to its first brand name——Coke. It took some efforts before finding the right word—which sounds similar and translates as “happiness in the mouth”. Asian company names are not new to the United States. The brand names of Samsung and Sony have been successful. Finding the right brand name is a big business. Asian companies that sell to foreign markets pay to find a name that will connect with its customers. There are even naming companies that specialize in inventing product names. These companies can charge（要价）up to $ 100,000 a word for their creations. But it’s worth it. Successful companies know how important the right brand names are for their development.
29. Trade names are protected by law in many countries ___________.
A. to make companies pay for naming service.
B. to help people choose the best products.
C. to present good images of the products.
D. to prevent products from being copied.
30.What can we learn from the passage?
A. Many companies care about the cost of finding the right names.
B. Creative trade names can help companies to have a larger sale.
C. The government often does business with naming companies.
D. It is considered necessary for cars to be named after animals.
31.What’t the best title for the passage?
A. The Business of Names
B. The Development of Names
C. The Rules of Naming Business
D. The Methods of Choosing Names

【2016中考模拟】阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳的答案。
How long are you willing to wait for a webpage to open before you start to lose your patience? Half a minute? A few seconds? Google engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds―as short as the blink of an eye―is too long for most Internet users.
A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times. “Without question, nobody likes to wait,” said Arvind Jain, a Google engineer. “Every millisecond matters.”
Nowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are continually gathering and sending out information. With so many people downloading maps, sports videos, news and restaurant recommendations, you can get digital “traffic jams”. Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service.
Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website, then people will visit it less often. This is why technology companies are now competing to be the fastest. Google said people do expect different things from different websites because they realize not all loading times are the same. For example, a person will be more patient waiting for a video to load than for a search result.
Even so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too long to load. This makes it difficult for video websites to choose between the quality of pictures and fast loading times.
Trying to get a higher speed has always been part of the history of the Internet. In the 1990s, when the World Wide Web first started to become popular, it was very crowded and slow; people called it the “World Wide Wait”. But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They laid a lot of fiber optic cables (光缆)for sending in high speed; they improved software so it would work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; all this increased speed.
Nowadays we can enjoy much faster Internet. Famous search engines such as Google and Microsoft’s Bing usually find search results in less than a second. However, in order to meet the requirement of Internet users, these tycoons should never stop their steps.
1. The report from The New York Times suggests that
A. A millisecond is one thousandth of a second.
B. 400 milliseconds is not so long for most Internet users.
C. A millisecond has nothing to do with the Internet speed.
D. A millisecond really makes a difference to the Internet users.
【答案】D
【解析】根据题干中的“The New York Times”定位到第二段“People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times.”即可得出答案
2. The engineers did something to improve the speed, including _____.
a. making software work more smoothly
b. laying a number of fiber optic cables inside
c. placing computer servers throughout the world
d. developing the quality of pictures on the Internet
A. a b c B. b c d C. a c d D. a b d
【答案】A
【解析】根据题干中的“engineers”定位到第六段“But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They laid a lot of fiber optic cables (光缆)for sending in high speed; they improved software so it would work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; all this increased speed.”即可得出答案
3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The quality of pictures comes first for video websites.
B. Google is 250 milliseconds slower than other websites
C. Microsoft’s Bing is the fastest engine the world now
D. People are more likely to wait for loading films than maps
【答案】D
【解析】A选项根据“picture和video websites”定位到第五段“This makes it difficult for video websites to choose between the quality of pictures and fast loading times.”可得知video websites 很难做出选择 从而得出错误。
B选项根据“250 milliseconds”定位到第四段“Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website, then people will visit it less often”可得知是Google进行假设从而得出错误。
C选项根据 第四段“This is why technology companies are now competing to be the fastest.”和最后一段“Famous search engines such as Google and Microsoft’s Bing usually find search results in less than a second.”得知文章没有给出哪个网站是网速最快的，从而得出错误。
D选项根据第四段“For example, a person will be more patient waiting for a video to load than for a search result”同时根据选项“be likely to do”表示“有可能做某事”。 其中 “film”代指“video”；“maps”代指“search result”可得出正确。
4. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. Internet users are willing to see more search engines set up
B. Google and Microsoft’s Bing should help find the searching results
C. These companies should mind their steps, or they will break down soon.
D. These companies need to catch up with the developing needs of Internet users

Homesick is a compound word made up of HOME and SICK. You know what each word means on its own, of course. But think about what the words mean when they are used together. Homesick means SICK FOR HOME. ?
Now think for a minute about SEASICK. If you change the word home in the definition（释义）to the word sea, would the definition fit SEASICK? Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA.

What will man be like in the future——in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, men are usually about three inches* taller. Five hundred years is quite a short period of time in the river of the long history, so we may guess that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a lot. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity*. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and finally we shall need larger ones! This may bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead*, will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are always in use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is probably that man’s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we will make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are possibly to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive* because they are used a lot in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body as time passes by because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both men and women will probably have no hair.
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may be true. All the same, no matter what these changes are, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and feelings similar to our own.
33. We can probably read the passage above in a ____.
A. movie poster
B. science magazine
C. storybook
D. guidebook
34. The change in man’s size of forehead will probably be because _______.
A. he makes use onIy 20% of the brain’s capacity
B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries
C. the other 80% of his brain will grow finally
D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on
35. Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?
A. He thinks and feels in different way.
B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.
C. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.
D. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t use them.
36. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. How man’s life will be in the future
B. Future man is growing taller and uglier
C. Future man will still have a lot in common with us
D. What future man will look like

Last Sunday, I walked into the house in the afternoon to find my brother rushing around in a hurry. As soon as I took my coat off, my little brother placed a lot of papers in my hands and asked me to fold them up so they could be put into an envelope as quickly as possible. He said it needed to get done quickly before it turned dark.
I was a little surprised that something could be so urgent* on a Sunday. Only when half was done did I realize to look at what I was folding. After I read it, I couldn’t help smiling from ear to ear. It was a lovely letter to all the people in my neighborhood. My brother was asking everyone to let him know if anyone needed help. He left his contact* information and said that anyone that needed help should get in touch with him and he would help find a way out. He also asked people to get in touch if they were able to help out.
London received an unusual amount of snow last week, and the city was not completely prepared for it. So it was quite difficult to get anywhere. Only the major roads had been cleared, and smaller roads and sidewalks could be quite treacherous. There are a good number of old people in our little community. So my brother thought that the snow may have caused some difficulty for some of them, especially because we live on a hill.
A few elderly people got in touch with him asking for help for things they needed. One of them was especially thankful because his caregiver couldn’t make it. To our surprise, he got more calls from people offering to help. Everyone was really touched and wrote to my brother wonderful email. One of our neighbors wrote email saying that although she wasn’t able to help, she was “very proud of having a neighbor like him who puts other people’s interests first.”
37. According to the passage, at first, the writer ______________.
A. didn’t notice what was on the papers B. was not going to help his brother
C. found it interesting to fold up the papers D. was surprised at what was on the papers
38. The writer’s brother sent letters to the neighbors in order to _________________.
A. ask them to clear up the roads B. offer them some help
C. tell them the coming snow D. share his own things with them
39. The underlined word in the third paragraph “treacherous” means _____________.
A. dangerous B. dirty C. smooth D. crowded
40. We can learn from the passage that _______________.
A. nobody asked for help from the writer’s brother
B. the writer’s brother helped clean the major roads
C. the neighbors were inspired* by the writer’s brother
D. the writer’s family has made a difference to others

In a cold winter, a couple had to move out of their big house because of bankruptcy（破产）. The husband worked day and night but with no care of his wife. So she thought, “He doesn’t love me any more; he just thinks about his work.”
One day, she wanted to take a shower, but her husband stopped her at the door. “Let me take it first, OK?” “Why not let me take it first?” she asked. “I’m tired, dear. You take it later, OK?” She was very sad.
On a rainy day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer. After a few minutes, her eyes were full of tears...it was his diary:
Today, I was quite sad. She asked me why I was always taking the shower first, and I said I was tired. She was unhappy. I wasn’t as rich as before! We moved to the small house and it was very cold. I found that if one person took the shower first, the bathroom could get a little warmer. So I always rushed to the bathroom first. When she took the shower, the bathroom could get warmer, at least 1°C. I can’t give her more, but at least I can give her 1°C love.
