阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项
A
The pursuit of lasting happiness has long been a subject of interest for scientists and surveys alike. But what makes us really happy and what lasting benefits does happiness have?
Well, earlier this month, scientists from the University of Illinois found the people who are happy and positive about life live longer. The researchers found "clear and compelling（引人注目的） evidence" that happiness is key when it comes to better health and longer lifespans（寿命）.
Last month a British study, which tracked members of 40,000 households across the country, concluded that eating a family meal at least three times a week is the key to happiness because it helps build a strong bond between parents and their children．
But happiness might be decided when you are born．Names can apparently predict how happy we are as individuals, with researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University claiming in 2009 that people called Judy and Joshua enjoy life the most．Ben, Andrew and Edward were seen as miserable names on the other hand．Married couples are most likely to be happy with their relationships, according to the study, which also found that the happiest relationships are those less than five years old between two university graduates who have no children．Research has also suggested that happiness begins at 50．A study from Stony Brook University, New York, found that stress, anger and worry fade after you are fifty．Women were also reported to suffer greater stress, worry and sadness at all ages．
Money makes the world go round, but it is not the key to happiness, according to other studies．In 2008, a survey from the Office for National Statistics found that British families were healthier and twice as well off as they were 20 years ago, but are not happier．However, other studies have found money can buy you happiness after all, but only if you spend it wisely．Indeed, that might be why a good holiday can boost your happiness levels "for up to two months’ although the break has to be "very relaxing” to have such an effect．
56．How many researches or surveys are mentioned in this passage?

58．What can we learn from the text?
A．Eating a family meal at least three times a week brings happiness to children．
B．Married couples are happier than those unmarried．
C．Doing physical activity can boost your happiness．
D．Women were reported to suffer greater stress at all ages．

"A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right", says Mollie Hunter． Bo and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people．She firmly believes that there is and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is．In Mollie’s opinion, it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing．"If you aren't telling a story, you’re a very dead writer indeed．" she says．With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Mollie is indeed an entertainer．"I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,’ she says, "This love goes back to early childhood．I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said’Nonsense, Mollie; dear, you’ll be a writer.’ So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer．"
This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical （自传体的） and gives a picture both of Mollie’s ambition and her struggle towards its achievement．Thoughts of her childhood inevitably （） brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercuptaken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood．’ll never go back, "she said．"Never．When I set one of my books in Scotland” she said,'* I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work． And that’s important because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us．” 60．What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?
A．It should not aim at a narrow audience．
B．It should be attractive to young readers．
C．It should be based on original ideas．
D．It should not include too much conversation．
61．In Mollie Hunter’ s opinion, which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?
A．Being poor in life experience．
B．Being short of writing skills．
C．The weakness of description．
D．The absence of a story．
62．What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child?
A．She didn’t expect to become a writer．
B．She didn’ enjoy writing stories．
C．She didn’t have any particular life aims．

63．What’s the writer’s purpose in this text?

When I was a kid, I was a little fat, but I was also into sports．In college, I was less active, and I started blowing up．It got out of control when I went to law school．
’d made a mental decision a thousand times ;Pm going to start losing weight now．But what prompted me to get serious about it was turning 30．At that point, I weighed 414 pounds．I was always tired．I have a family history of heart disease, and I was scared．I also wanted to look better．So a few weeks after my birthday, in the spring of 2006, I started to lose weight．
Walking was all I could do at first．I started by walking to a subway stop a few blocks away instead of the one closest to my apartment．On weekends, I’d walk in Central Park．I gradually increased the distance．A year later, I started to run．At first I could run for only two minutes, but I kept on．
It made a difference．I was losing nine or ten pounds a month, and I had a lot more energy． And there’s something about running．It makes you feel like a kid again．I enjoyed it．I started to think about the New York City Marathon, which goes right past my apartment building．For years, I thought I could never do that．But now I realized that maybe I could．By my 33rd birthday, in the spring of 2009, I was down to 180 pounds．That summer, I started formally training for the marathon．And on the morning of November 1, I stood on the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island with more than 40,000 other runners, waiting for the event to start．When we started moving, it was an amazing feeling to have people cheering me on, handing me cups of water．In Harlem, my mom and brother stood on a street corner, waving．And then I crossed the finish line in Central Park, and somebody put a medal around my neck．I was in tears from being so happy．
At that moment, I knew: If I set my mind to something, nothing is impossible．

A relationship is defined as a state of connectedness between people．Although in today’s society with its crazy rhythm of everyday life, when people tend to live in thickly populated cities spending most of their time in the office and hardly knowing their neighbors name, we still find ourselves in some kinds of relationships—with friends, family, or colleagues．
Family relationships are the first relationships people enter．Parents and relatives influence our emotional development by creating a model that we are sometimes bound to follow all our lives, often subconsciously．In day-care, at school, then in the office we spend a lot of time among fellow students and co-workers．We learn to keep business relationships, to work in a team environment, then form smaller groups of like-minded people and finally select some of them as our friends．
What is a true friendship? How does it start? Are we destined to become friends with certain people or can we actually plan whom to be friends with?
"Everybody's friend is nobody's”, said Arthur Schopenhauer．Unlike a companionship based on belonging to the same team or group, friendship is a very personal and selective type of relationship．It calls for trust, sincerity, and emotional bonds．
Sociologists believe that most people are looking for similarities in views, social status, and interests when choosing friends．No wonder that our friends are often people of the same age, sex, and education．Another important factor is joint activity and solidarity．This is the reason why many of us befriend our colleagues and other people who work in the same field．Most people would agree that a friend is someone who always listens and understands. Understanding in this context implies a lot of meanings—ompassion, sympathy, and emotional closeness. It's a process in which your friend reads your emotional state, shares your feelings, identifies himself or herself with you.
72．What is the first relationship that people often enter, according to the author?
A．Friendship.
B．Companionship.
C．Family relationship.
D．Customer relationship.
73．How do we understand “Everybody's friend is nobody's” by Arthur Schopenhauer?
A．Try to be everybody's friend.
B．Try to be somebody's friend.
C．Not to be everybody's friend.
D．Not to be somebody's friend.
74．The important reason why many of us befriend our colleagues is ___
_.
A．the same age
B．the same sex
C．the same education
D．joint activity and solidarity
75．What is the writing purpose of the passage?
A．To tell the readers what the real friend is.
B．To stress the importance of family relationship.
C．To explain the connectedness between people.
D．To introduce a new companionship.
