26、When I learned that a psychology class designed to teach students how to become happier was available online to anyone who wanted to take it, I decided to see what it was about. After taking the course, I believe that anyone who follows the suggestions can truly become happier.

【1】

Increase social connections.

Talking with a friend face to face will make you happier.【2】 My boyfriend loves chatting with waiters, and I notice that he always wears a wide and happy smile after having a meaningful talking with them. Actually, many studies have found that the more social media, the less happy you are.

【3】

Volunteering to help someone or buying a coffee for the person behind you in line can make you happier, because helping others takes the focus away from our own worries and problems, which can increase happiness. 【4】 If you perform the same act of kindness over and over, it may begin to feel like a duty.

Burn some calories.

Exercise causes hormonal (荷尔蒙的) changes in the body that make you feel good and avoid negative thoughts. 【5】 And after ten months, they are less likely to be depressed (沮丧) again.

A．Buy someone a coffee.

B．Perform acts of kindness.

C．My favorite tips are as follows.

D．However, changing your way is very important.

E．But a meaningful meeting with a stranger also works.

F．As is reported, it is of great importance to exercise regularly.

G．A research shows that depressed people exercising regularly improve a lot.

27、   The standing broad jump is an exercise where the jumpers must jump as far as possible. Unlike other classic Olympic events, the jumper cannot run to build up strength. This exercise takes great attention, and it can be difficult to improve. 【1】

【2】 Use a form to fill out the greatest distance you have reached every workout. You should also write down which techniques you have used so that you will know what actually works on you. Set a distance goal for a future date, and once you reach this goal, set a new one.

Throughout the jump, jumpers should always look forward, toward their goal distance. 【3】 Try to achieve a great distance without jumping very high at the takeoff and be sure that all of your energy is pointing forward rather than upward.

Using the power from your upper body to push yourself forward can help you achieve a great distance. This can be a great way to warm up before trying the jump. Start by standing in the correct position with your toes lined up and feet shoulder-width apart. 【4】 Now bend your knees and jump as your arms move forward again.

Having more strength in your legs will allow you to jump a greater distance. Practicing the standing broad jump will exercise your legs as well, but having strong leg muscles to begin with will help you achieve greater distances. 【5】

A.However, improvement is well worth it.

B.This will set the direction they want the body to.

C.The best way to improve is to have a goal in mind.

D.Improving the standing broad jump requires great attention.

E.You must stand in one spot to jump without any kind of lead-in.

F.So you should exercise your legs as much as possible to build muscles.

G.Next, move your arms forward, then backward and up over your head.

28、   An idea that started in Seattle’s public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.

In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit(追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched(发起) the “If all of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.

In Chicago, the mayor (市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book, One Chicago” program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups appeared around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.

The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致) can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.

Finally, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.

【1】What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?

A.To invite authors to guide readers.

B.To involve people in community service.

C.To encourage people to buy books to read.

D.To strengthen the communication among citizens.

【2】What changes did the program bring to Chicago?

A.More citizens chose to go to work by bus.

B.More and more reading clubs were founded.

C.Parents preferred to watch TV with their children.

D.Strangers talked about the mayor more frequently.

【3】Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?

A.They had little interest in reading.

B.They were too busy to read a book.

C.They came from many different backgrounds.

D.They lacked support from the local government.

【4】According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?

A.In large communities with little sense of unity.

B.In large cities where libraries are far from home.

C.In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.

D.In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.

29、   School uniforms are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A. That's no surprise, because they offer many benefits. They immediately remove the powerful social labels from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the "wrong" clothes.

Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule — wanting to look just like their friends.

As in other places, uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example, when a man or woman puts on a police uniform, he or she becomes the symbol of law and order. The uniform means his or her special duties to the wearer and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear different uniforms. For students, the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours in school is to get education.

Some parents are unhappy about uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their children's "creativity." First, as noted above, the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality (个性). They just copy their classmates. Second,while students are in school, their job is to master reading, writing and maths. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.

【1】In Paragraph 1, the word "benefits" probably means______________.

A.tasks B.messages C.differences D.advantages

【2】From the passage we learn that uniforms in general ___________.

A.prevent the wearers from being laughed at

B.help the wearers keep their duties in mind

C.are seen as a symbol of power

D.help to develop students’ creativity

【3】Some people are against school uniforms because _____________.

A.they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniforms

B.they believe that uniforms will make students less creative

C.they don't agree that uniforms can remove social labels

D.they think that school uniforms are too popular

【4】The author would probably agree that __________.

A.it makes no difference whether to wear school uniforms or not

B.students’ individuality may not come from school education

C.students’ creativity is related to the clothes they choose

D.school uniforms help to create equality among students
