　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　A

　　Which comes first，happiness or money？Are richer people happier？And if so，how do people get much richer？A recent study could tell you the answer.

　　The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29.Those who were happiest earned an average of $8,000 more than those who were the most depressed.

　　The researchers，from University College London and the University of Warwick，say that very gloomy teens，no matter how tall or smart they were，earned 10% less than their peers，while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.

　　Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school，college and the job interview，chiefly because they always feel better about life.It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends，who are often the key to homework help or networking.

　　A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness.In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women，Alas(the same gene doesn’t appear to have the same effect on men)．And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest.

　　The big question is：if it is really true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids，is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework？The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades.Studies do show，after all，that more education leads to better­paid jobs，which may give us a deep thought.

　　“These findings show that the teenagers’ happiness is important to their future success，” one of the report’s authors writes.“But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork.”

　　1．What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study?

　　A．Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier.

　　B．Money can make people become happier.

　　C．Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all.

　　D．Schoolwork can help teens achieve success.

　　2．The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that

　　.

　　A．they are easy to communicate with others

　　B．they are good at doing their schoolwork

　　C．they are hopeful and optimistic about their life

　　D．they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day

　　3．The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means “

　　”．

　　A．upset

　　B．glorious

　　C．happy

　　D．wealthy

　　4．What can be the best title for the text?

　　A．The Way to Educate Kids

　　B．The Source of Happiness

　　C．How to Achieve Your Goal

　　D．The Secret of Being Wealthier

　　B

　　Nowadays many people are concerned about the problem of what to do with electronic waste such as old televisions，computers，radios，cellular telephones and other electronic equipment.

　　Electronic trash，or e­waste，is piling up faster than ever in American homes and businesses.People do not know what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.

　　National Solid Waste Management Association (NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans product is not unexpected.

　　The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year，and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills(垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs.They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts.Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore says，“There are lots of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill，and in certain components there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill.”

　　Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide.Thirteen years ago，it was only about 6 percent.Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in order to keep e­waste poisons like lead(铅) and mercury(汞) out of garbage dumps.

　　This year several states like Vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills.More than 25 other states have also adopted bans on e­waste in landfills.Chaz Miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.

　　“We can do much better，” noted Miller，“I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers.”

　　5．Which of the following does NOT belong to e­waste?

　　A．Old televisions.

　　B．Old computers.

　　C．Old cell phones.

　　D．Old newspapers.

　　6．Why is e­waste banned from landfills in many states?

　　A．Because it can not be recycled.

　　B．Because the landfills are already full.

　　C．Because it might damage the environment.

　　D．Because it can be shipped to other countries.

　　7．According to Mike Fannon，what might be the best way of dealing with e­waste?

　　A．Recycling it.

　　B．Selling it.

　　C．Burying it.

　　D．Breaking it.

　　8．What can we learn from the passage?

　　A．Chaz Miller works for EPA.

　　B．Miller is optimistic about the future of e­waste.

　　C．At present，less than 10 percent of e­waste is recycled.

　　D．All states in the US have banned e­waste from landfills.

　　Building Trust in a Relationship Again

　　Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences.

　　9

　　Trust is a risk.But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.

　　Unfortunately，we’ve all been victims of betrayal.Whether we’ve been stolen from，lied to，misled，or cheated on，there are different levels of losing trust.Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore.

　　10

　　It’s understandable，but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again，we have some steps you can take to get you there.

　　•

　　11

　　Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well­being.

　　•

　　12

　　If you’ve been betrayed，you are the victim of your circumstance.But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”．At some point in all of our lives，we’ll have our trust tested or violated.

　　•You didn’t lose “everything”．Once trust is lost，what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle，look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.

　　13

　　Instead，it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.

　　A．Learn to really trust yourself.

　　B．It is putting confidence in someone.

　　C．Stop regarding yourself as the victim.

　　D．Remember that you can expect the best in return.

　　E．They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.

　　F．This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.

　　G．Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.
