四，阅读理解
In modern society, living without money sounds almost impossible. However, that’s exactly what an Australian couple from a big city has been doing for nearly a whole year.
Rachel Newby, 25, and Liam Culbertson, 27, have come up with creative ways of making it through the year without spending any money. They built themselves a new house. The house was made of used wood and recycled materials. They grew their own food, and at times they didn’t hesitate to look for food in the dustbins (垃圾箱).
But this year has been quite difficult. The soil in their garden was too poor to grow vegetables. The climate (气候) there was terrible as well. They kept moving their home till they finally lived in a 2.5-square-meter house. They collected cold rainwater to take a shower. What’s worse, they had to share a toilet with the rest of the community.
Even though they had no jobs, they didn’t have a lot of free time to waste. They spent most of the day working for local farmers planting vegetables and picking fruit so that they could earn their next meal. They had five ducks that could provide them with fresh eggs. But when there wasn’t enough food for them, they had to go to look for food in the dustbins.
Not everyone is brave enough to do this. But they really made it work and they felt happy.
( )1. What did the Australian couple live without money for?
A. Teaching people a lesson. B. Their jobs. C. Local farmers. D. A special experience.
( )2. How did the Australian couple feed themselves?
A. They sold vegetables and fruit for money. B. They mainly depended on the food in the dustbins.
C. They tried their best to get everything necessary themselves. D. They expected other people to give food to them.
( )3. What does the underlined word “hesitate” mean in Chinese?
A. 坚持 B. 犹豫 C. 决心 D. 尝试
( )4. How might the writer feel about the Australian couple?
A. They are a bit strange. B. They are very brave.C. They are young and smart. D. They are very funny.
( )5. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The Australian couple hated the city life so they lived in the country.

She also used to do volunteer work during the festivals every year, One summer she served food, another year she organized an art programme.

Ann was almost 100 years old, and Helen wrote down information about her life when she visited her. She put the information in a book and got it published. Ann was very excited to share her life story with her children and grandchildren.
After a hurricane( 飓风 ) destroyed some southern cities, Helen volunteered again for the American Red Cross. She prepared food and answered phones in a care centre. She says,” I have always liked the Red Cross because the organization helps people in need no matter what troubles they are in.”

六，填表
Are people less happy or happier when they get older? If your answer is “happier”, then you are right, based on a study published five years ago. It found that people generally 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 findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and 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 the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies.
The survey also found 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 did.
So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Title: Relationship Between Age and?????小题1:?????
???? The elements of the survey
Time: 2008 Place: in the United States? Researcher: Arthur Stone and his????小题2:? Targets: 340,000 adults

Are people less happy or happier when they get older? If your answer is “happier”, then you are right, based on a study published five years ago. It found that people generally 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 findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and 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 the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies.
The survey also found 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 did.
So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
