26、   According to a 2010 study by Princeton researchers Daniel Kahneman and Angus Deaton, people tend to feel happier when they make more money, up until a point, which was estimated to be about 75,000 a year per person. And people’s emotional well-being, or how they felt on a daily basis, didn't improve as they made over 75,000 but their life satisfaction, or how happy they were with their life overall, did.

But more recently, a 2018 study from Purdue University used much wider data from the Gallup World Poll and found that the perfect income point for individuals is 95,000 for life satisfaction and 60,000 to 75,000 for emotional well-being. When people earned more than 105,000 their happiness levels decreased.

More money doesn't make us happier but making “more relative to other people” does, according to Yale psychology professor Laurie Santos. “Even the richest folks out there in the world can often look around and find somebody that's just a bit richer, and therefore their money isn't making them as happy as they think,” she says. Studies also suggest that when we feel like we can't maintain the same standard of living as our peers, it makes us unhappy. Simply getting more money doesn't make us happier because of the “hedonic adaptation”. “Over time, we get used to that change in our life and our expectations change and our lifestyle changes—we adapt” says Sonja Lyubomirsky, a professor of psychology. Plus “Every time we experience a rise in income, our expectations rise a little bit.”

Research consistently shows that if you want to be happier in your job, you shouldn't desire a high salary. From a happiness standpoint, it's more important that your job provides a sense of meaning or purpose, “You should focus on whether the job is meeting your own strengths,” Santos says. “These are your own values, the ones you want to experience in the world.”

【1】What does the study from Purdue University show?

A．Your happiness depends on your income.

B．As for happiness, being “rich” is perfect.

C．There is a sort of perfect “happiness” salary.

D．There are many things more important than money.

【2】Which of the following is Laurie Santos’ opinion?

A．The richer people are usually happier.

B．“Hedonic adaptation” needs to be studied.

C．The standard of living depends on well-being.

D．Happiness is affected by making comparisons.

【3】Why does a high-paying job fail to raise our happiness level?

A．Our working conditions keep changing.

B．Our demands for life quality keep changing.

C．Our satisfaction with the job keeps changing.

D．Our understanding of happiness keeps changing.

【4】What plays a vital role in helping you find happiness in your job?

A．Your realization of self-worth.

B．Your colleagues’ attitude towards you.

C．Your relationship with your employers.

D．Your satisfaction with your salary level.

27、   It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.

My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.

On the road to the harbor we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbor itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps (脊背) in the distance.

On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it — there aren’t any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.

The little baby whale — actually as big as our boat — was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves. “She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, some-times rising from the water right beside us to breathe — and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.

In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.

A.he spent the weekend with his family

B.be witnessed the whole process of fishing

C.he enjoyed the beauty of the calm sea

D.he experienced the rescue of the whales

【2】The harbor survived the storm owing to __________.

A.the long coast line B.the shape of the harbor

C.the arms of the bay D.the still water in the channel

【3】The mother whale failed to help her baby because __________.

A.the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction

B.she had stayed in the polluted water for too long

C.the whirlpools she had made were not big enough

D.she had no other whales around to turn to for help

【4】What is the theme of the story?

A.It’s vital to protect the environment

B.Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness

C.Fishing provides excitement for children

D.It’s necessary to live in harmony with animals

28、Paper Industry in the Recovery

Today the paper industry has, like many others, been hit by the Covid-19 outbreak. But the industry is expected to bounce back in 2021, and by 2023, it's predicted to reach new heights of $1,031 billion. 【1】

Last spring the world was impacted by the Great Toilet Paper Shortage of 2020, as people rushed to pile up this bathroom product. 【2】 People just lost their heads to follow the rush. Anyway, today the tissue market is still growing. Meanwhile, the Covid-19 outbreak brought added bonus to this industry. 【3】 Others have temporarily switched to surgical face masks to meet the demand for personal protection equipment.

But there's more surprising medical use for paper: rapid tests. The system is widely used for many tests, such as to detect HIV or if a person has developed antibodies to Covid-19. 【4】 There has been a sharp decrease in the number of customers wanting to reach into a pot to fetch spoons, forks or straws for obvious reasons, causing restaurants to use more and more single use packaging. Meanwhile, schools have started to provide paper lunch boxes so that students don't need to eat all together in a canteen.

【5】 After months of lockdown, practical hobbies such as DIY, crafts, and art have recently experienced a recovery. Some paper companies have seen more interest in paper for art and design.

Paper is now protecting us from infections and boredom, and it will always be a valuable material in our life.

A．Then there's art.

B．Here's how that might happen.

C．Paper industry will have a bright future.

D．In reality there was never a true shortage.

E．Equally, food hygiene（卫生）has become more of a concern.

F．Some companies are now branching out into medical tissue papers.

G．Demands for toilet paper and paper towels have been increasing greatly.
