He said he liked my socks. “Want to see mine?” he joked, lifting his leg. He was barefoot. I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach.The next day, after work, I stopped at Ross and filled up my truck with socks. The following early morning, I drove over to Santa Monica's Palisades Park, which is a common destination for homeless people.I took one of the bags from my trunk. It was still dark out. I headed for a group of three men, standing around a tree, probably using it as a windbreaker. Two were asleep under heavy blankets, and the third was digging through his collection. As I walked toward him, he watched me, perhaps questioning my motives. “I thought you guys might need some fresh new socks,” I said, handing him a pair. He looked confused at first but took them and said, “Thank you.” I gave him two more pairs for his friends.I moved on. An hour later, I had given out all the socks. Most people were sleeping, and I felt like Santa. I knew that when they wake up they would find a very meaningful present.That was nine years ago. Every week I’ll hand out as many socks as I can. If I’m on vacation or on a business trip for more than a week, I bring a bag of socks with me and hand them out to the homeless on the streets in other states and countries.It’s extremely satisfying to operate “under the radar（雷达）” to help make some people’s lives a little bit easier. Part of me hopes to see Albert out there one of these days, but even if I don’t, I like to think one of the pairs will find him.24. What does the underlined part in Paragraph I most probably mean?A.

Helping the Homeless in an Unexpected Way.CPeople may seek true happiness for their whole lives, and believe it is impossible to achieve. However, there are some scientifically proven ways to become happy.Exercise is one of the easiest ways to become happier. in fact, you may only need seven minutes a day to be happier. Not only is exercise a natural protection against depression (沮丧),it aids you in your intellectual powers, in relaxing, and in improving your body image.Staying home too often can be a downer for your mood, as you might have noticed. Getting out more, doing activities with others, and seeing nature in its splendor will aid you in becoming happy. Spending 20 minutes outside in nature not only boosts one's mood, but also one's working memory and thinking capabilities.Surprisingly, helping others increases our happiness as well. In fact, 100 hours of giving help per year (or two hours a week) can be the magic number to feeling better. In many studies, helping others has been found to boost happiness for reasons such as feeling more accomplished and feeling more self-worth.This might sound strange, but smiling can help improve our mood. However, false smiles, if not accompanied by positive thoughts, can make you more unhappy. Facial feedback(反馈)is important, as when you truly smile, you are telling your brain youare not in distress.Planning a trip away from your current vicinity can help in becoming happier, even if you do not go on the trip. That sense of hope bleeds positive emotions into your consciousness. In fact, planning a trip can boost your happiness for eight solid weeks.There are many ways to become happy. However, it may be surprising that the quickest ways to feel happier are also the most natural. This is because money, drugs, and other outside items cannot reproduce what happens within us in the most innate(与生俱来的) of ways.28. What can people do to make themselves in better shape?A. Positive thoughts.B. Doing exercise.C. Going out in nature.D. Seeking happiness.29. Which is the best way to realize the value of life according to the text?A. Being reasonable.B. Planning a trip.C. Giving a hand to others.D. Doing activities outside.30. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?A. Strange smiles, bad mood.B. False smiles resulted from sorrow.C. Sincere smiles, true happiness.D. Happiness caused by positive thoughts.31. What does the author mainly intend to tell people in the text?A. How to be happy.B. The most natural ways.C. When to be happy.D. The happiest to seek for.DAccording to a study published recently in the Journal Science, scientists have found a way to hack the plant's genes to help make it use sunlight more quickly, which could increase the amount of food produced around the world one day.Plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide lo make their own food. Scientistsfind plants use less than 1% of the energy available to them. But by hacking a plant’s genes, scientists are able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants between 14% and 20%.Specifically, scientists hacked the plant's protective system. Normally, this system is activated (激活) when a plant gets too much sunlight, said scientist Krishna Niyogi. When the plant senses the light, it gets rid of extra energy and creates more leaves. When the plant is in shade, the protective system is turned off.Stephen Long is the lead author of the study. He compared a plants protective system to light-adjusting glasses. When we wear the glasses outside during the day, lenses(镜头)darken or lighten depending on how sunny it is. Plants do the same thing. But in plans the adjustment can take anywhere from 10 minutes lo an hour. This makes it hard for plants to get the right amount of sunlight needed to create food.The new study speeds up the process. By changing the plant's genes, the protective system turned on and off more quickly than normal. As a result, leaf growth in reo plants increased by 20%, while leaf growth on a third plant increased by 14%."Now that we know it works, it won't be too difficult to do it with other crops," said Tang. "If you look at crops around the world," he said, "it would increase yield many million tons of food." It will be at least 15 years before scientists can adjust crops on a large scale, Long says. But he believes the study is a breakthrough.32. The closest meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2 is______.A. designingB. changingC. coveringD. feeding33. What will happen to a plant when exposed to too much sunlight?A. Slowing down its leaves growth.B. Folding up its leaves.C. Turning on its protective system.D. Stopping taking in energy.34. How does plant's protective system work according to Long?A. By timing the exposure to daylight.B. By adjusting sunlight plants receive.G. By being positioned under proper shades.D. By switching between strong and weak lights.35. What seems to be Stephen Long's attitude towards the studyA. Cautious.B. Negative.C. Uncertain.D. Optimistic.第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,井在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
