However, she also enjoys happy times with friends, even though they have a lot of arguments.“The thing about me and my friends is that one minute we’re up and then the next we’re down; one minute I want to shout the house down, the next I feel so happy that I just want to hug everyone in the room at once,” she said to British paper The Independent.Wilson’s generation have all the latest fashions and electronic equipment. But owning them does not necessarily make them happier. New research shows that it is the simple things in life that please us most.Close friends, playing sport and a stable (稳定的) home life are more important to a teenager’s happiness than the wealth of their parents, according to a study published this month by the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex in Britain.Researcher Gundi Knies found families’ incomes didn’t necessarily play a part in happiness. But happy children tend to have their own bedroom, a bike or other leisure equipment.Children who have friends over for tea once a fortnight (两周) and those who go swimming once a month were also happier with their lives than those who do not.ks5uA sense of belonging clearly had an influence on how satisfied people were. Children with lots of friends reported higher levels of happiness than those without.Children who live with both their parents were happier than those living in single families and step family relationships.Diet plays an important role too. Children who have fewer than five portions (份) of fruit and vegetables a day or who eat fast food most days tend to be less happy.The study also finds that girls make up both the happiest and least happy groups of children. “Older girls are unhappier because they are goin g through puberty (青春期) and their parents become more protective. Girls also become very conscious (在意的) of the way they look and the way they are treated,” Knies told UK newspaper The Observer. “In general boys don’t face the same pressures.”41. What can we conclude from Paragraphs 1-2?A. Most teenagers are unhappy.B. Teenagers are often emotional (情绪化的).C. When teenagers argue with friends they feel upset.D. Most teenagers are confused by their emotions.42. What are the most important factors in determining teenage happiness?a. Having rich parentsb. Having a stable familyc. Owning fashionable gadgetsd. Belonging to a group of friendsA. a, bB. a, cC. b, cD. b, d43. Why are girls unhappier than boys during puberty?A. Because they are more likely to be under pressure.B. Because they receive more attention from their parents.C. Because they have less sense of belonging at that time.D. Because they experience bigger physical changes than boys.44. What is the article mainly about?A. New research on teenage health.B. Tips for teenagers on how to get through puberty.C. What influences teenage happiness.D. Some common teenage problems.BCan dogs help with OCD?You might watch and laugh when your dog chases its tail because it looks cute. But did you know that, even though it might appear like a fun game, it could mean your pet is sick?Researchers have found that if a dog runs after its tail, chases cars and barks at flies that are not there, it may have obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD, 强迫症).In fact, OCD is even more common among humans. The symptoms (症状) are varied: some people check and recheck the locks before they go out; others are extremely afraid of germs (细菌) and have to wash their hands many times a day.English soccer star David Beckham, for example, cannot stand odd numbers (单数) of items in his fridge. So if he has three cans of drink he will throw one out, according to his wife Victoria. Hoping to better understand OCD in humans, a team of scientists from the University of Helsinki, Finland, studied 368 dogs, including those that chase their tail for several hours daily or a few times a month, according to . They also examined dogs that had never chased their tails. Scientists took the dogs’ blood sample (血样) and asked their owners some questions about their pets’ daily life.Findings showed that among all kinds of dogs, bull terriers (斗牛犬) and German shepherds (德国牧羊犬) were likely to chase their tails, which led scientists to believe that genes (基因) can cause OCD.Diet also plays a part. It was found that dogs that eat food with certain vitamins and minerals chased their tails less. “Interest ingly, there are indications (迹象) that vitamins and minerals are helpful in human OCD treatment,” said researcher Katriina Tiira.Moreover, tail-chasing is often found among dogs that were separated from their mothers too early or ones that didn’t receive enough care. They are also more likely to turn out to be shyer and more afraid of loud noises at a young age.The study can help us understand the causes of OCD in humans. “Dogs share the sameenvironment with humans, and large animals are physiologically (生理上的) close to humans,” said Hannes Lohi, leader of the study.45. The English soccer star David Beckham is mentioned in the article to ______.A. show the trouble caused by OCDB. give an example of the symptoms of OCDC. prove stars are more likely to get OCDD. show how OCD affects (影响) family life46. Which of the following is NOT considered a cause of OCD in dogs?A. Genes.B. Diet.C. The way they are brought up.D. The time they spend with their owners.47. According to the study, OCD ______.A. will help dogs to become braverB. shows similar symptoms in dogs and humansC. is more common among dogs than among humansD. can be eased with the help of certain vitamins and minerals48. Why are dogs chosen for the study of OCD?A. They share similar genes with humans.B. They have the most typical (典型的) symptoms of OCD.C. They share the same environment with humans.D. They have the largest number of OCD victims (受害者).CNo quick changeI would be the first to say that I am not materialistic. My friends regard me as a goody-goody (乖乖女). My parents say I am conservative (保守的) and modest when it comes to clothes. I don’t wear bikinis, and none of my skirts or shorts end above my knees. That is my choice.So why, why did I decide to buy that skirt? My family and I were in Target, and there it was, waiting – a skirt specifically designed not to cover anything. It was light brown and looked like something one of those anime (日本动画) schoolgirls would wear.I checked my purse. The skirt cost $10. I had the money. I could buy it. I imagined walking into school and my pals’ jaws (下巴) dropping. Guys would ask me out, and I would be happy. I could buy it – no, I should buy it.I showed my mother. She was surprised but said it was my decision. My sister looked on jealously.I went into the dressing room to try it on. I was so sure that this skirt would change me, somehow make me not what I am but what I wished to be. I slid my jeans off and put it on.Now for the decisive moment. I looked in the mirror. There I was – a girl in a Superman T-shirt and sneakers who didn’t know how to make friends with others.Of course, the skirt had not changed me. It fit me well; that wasn’t the p roblem. It might make me look good in the eyes of today’s world.But it simply was not me. I am not a girl who wears cool clothes to fit in. My glasses fogged up as I started to cry.I took the thing off and went back into the comfort and safety of modesty.My mom knocked on the door. “Emily, are you okay?”I wiped away my tears. “I’m fine.” I looked in the mirror again and saw a blond skinny girl with thick glasses and a ponytail (马尾辫). I saw myself.49. How did the author think her friends would react to her new skirt?A. They would be jealous when they saw how beautiful she looked.B. They would think of her as a goody-goody.C. They would start to copy her new style.D. They would be amazed to see the big change in her.50. Why did the author cry when she put on the new skirt?A. The skirt didn’t fit her well. ks5uB.

It’s better for girls to wear conservative clothes.B. You need to change your style from time to time.C. It’s important to be yourself.D. Others’ opinions don’t matter at all.DFood for thought in the USBefore I left for America, everyone warned me to watch my weight because it’s easy to put on weight there. That’s true. One thing I still cannot adjust to is the food and drink.Almost every American person loves sodas, especially those full of ice cubes. I remember the first day I came to my host family. When I asked them for a glass of hot water, they all looked at me and thought I was crazy!At my school there’s no water dispenser (饮水机) but there’s one in each classroom in China. All the American students drink water from taps outside the restrooms that are specially designed for drinking. The water is cold and the school doesn’t have hot water.The most popular food here is hamburgers and French chips, which are junk food in China. Most students who eat at school prefer those to salads. They also eat lots of pizzas and hot dogs. As a result, you can always see some really fat people in school.Luckily, my host mom is really a great cook. She always makes food from different countries and eats a balanced meal every day. So I have a lot of fruit and vegetables. At my host family’s home, they usually eat biscuits.These old-fashioned biscuits are low in fat and flavored (味道) with buttermilk, butter, and a bit of honey. Oh here comes the most interesting thing: the word “biscuit” in China actually means “cracker (薄脆饼干)” here. Real biscuits are a kind of soft cake.I was also amazed by the rich kinds of food in American supermarkets and their reasonable prices. For example, one brand of yogurt has 20 kinds of flavors! You’re sure to find one that you like. And most of the food provides you “light”, “original” or “no sugar” options to choose from.53.The underlined phrase “adjust to” is closest in m eaning to ______.A. deal withB. get used toC. get rid ofD. choose from54. What surprised the author about drinking water in the US?A. People do not drink hot water.B. People prefer to drink sodas.C. People drink from any tap they find.D. People drink from water dispensers.55. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A. It’s easier to put on weight in the US than in other countries.B. The author thinks many Americans do not eat healthily.C. Salads and hot dogs are the most popular food in America.D. Biscuits are exactly the same thing in the US and China.56. What is the main idea of the article?A. To show how badly Americans need to change their diet.B. To tell about the American foods that she likes and dislikes.C. To show how much fun she has with her host family.D. To introduce food differences between America and China.EFour Chinese national treasures includingbronze heads of a swine(pig), a monkey,an ox and a tiger will be on display inBeijing this month.Stolen from the Yuanmingyuan by Britishand French soldiers in 1860, the heads have travelled the world for more than 100 years. But in September, the swine head was the last of the four treasures to return home, and they will go on show together for the first time. The four bronze heads were part of a set of 12 that represented each animal in the Chinese calendar. Based on European designs, they were made for the Qing emperor in 1760 and placed by a fountain(喷泉) at the palace, with a water clock in the center. Water would pour out of each head in turn every two hours.The swine head was bought from a New York collector by Macao businessman Stanley Ho for US$900,000. He gave it to the state-owned Poly Art Museum so it could be displayed with its “brothers” the ox, monkey and tiger heads. These three were bought by the China Poly Group in 2000 for US$4.2 million.Jiang Yingchun, director of the museum, said the price paid for the four heads matches their value. However, some experts say China should stop buying stolen cultural relics and simply ask for them to be returned.Apart from the four heads that have returned home, the mouse and rabbit heads are in French Museum, while the horse head is in Taiwan. But the whereabouts(下落) of the remaining five heads is still unknown.57．Among the four bronze heads to be on show, the bronze swine________.A．cost more than the other three B．is the biggestC．is to be on show at last D．was given by a Macao businessman 58．The 12 bronze heads of animals________.A．were presented by a foreigner B．were made based on European designs C．were lost 200 years ago D．have been returned home59．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．We have known where all the 12 bronze heads are.B．The 12 bronze heads were first made for people to store water.C．Some experts don't think we should pay to get back the cultural relics.D．The Chinese government bought back the bronze ox, monkey and tiger heads from a New Yorker.60.
