I was born a bookworm. I can’ t remember a time when I didn’t read: It was almost like breathing to me. My fictional worlds took me to all the places I needed to go and I experienced everything indirectly.
My father was in the military service when I was a child, so we moved every two years, but we insisted on going to bookshops wherever we lived. He would take me to the nearest bookshop every Saturday morning and wait patiently while I browsed（随便看看）-- after all，the choosing of a new book is something that cannot be rushed. And so started my lifelong love affair with bookshops.
One day I was thinking up the setting for How to Find Love in a tiny bookshop when a feeling of calm, contentment, and excitement came over me. It was a feeling of perfect happiness. That was my light bulb moment: My book would be set in a bookshop, and I could explore what books meant to each of my characters and how they had shaped their lives.
The book isn’t just about discovering romantic love. It’s about finding the love of books: something that can sustain you throughout your life, and provide escape, entertainment, education, comfort, wonder. And, as I learned from my own father, it’s a love you can share with everyone. There is nothing more satisfying than sharing something you have read with someone else, knowing they will love it as much as you do.
But if we are to keep bookshops alive, we need to use them, and to encourage the next generation to make them a part of their life and view bookshops as a treat, a pleasure, an adventure, a gateway, so they become something we can’t live without. Thus my challenge to you, fellow readers, is to go to your local bookshops as often as possible and come out with something that might change your life.

C. Because her parents divorced.
D. Because her parents wanted to find a better school for her.
57. Which word best describes the author' s relationship with bookshops as a child?
A. Distant. B. Casual. C. Inseparable. D. Cooperative.

A. A moment of relief. B. A moment of peace.
C. A moment of sudden shock. D. A moment of sudden inspiration.
59. What might the book How to Find Love talk about?
A. How books affect people’ s lives. B. Romantic stories of the author’s parents.

If you’re a runner who secretly hates running, here’s some good news: settling into a leisurely jog rather than an all-out run may actually be better for your health in the long term.
A team from Denmark followed over 5,000 people taking part in the Copenhagen City Heart Study, and tracked whether they were non-joggers, or joggers who kept a slow, moderate (中等的)，or fast pace. The participants’ health was tracked over the next 12 years,and so was their mortality(死亡率)：28 of the joggers and 128 of the non-joggers died.
The connection was this: Joggers of mild and moderate intensity had a lower risk of death than the fast joggers. In fact, the lowest mortality risk was that of the mild intensity joggers. The fast-paced joggers had about the same mortality rate as sedentary (久坐的) people. This suggests that there may be an upper limit to hard exercise, after which the benefits fall off.
“The U-shaped association between jogging and mortality suggests there may be an upper limit for exercise amount that is best for health benefits,” said study author Peter Schnohr. “Anything more is not just unnecessary; it may be harmful.” From the current study, jogging just three times per week, for less than 2.5 hours per week was associated with the lowest overall mortality risk.
There have been a lot of mixed messages about the “right” amount of exercise and what intensity is best. The World Health Organization has suggested that the current 150 minutes per week recommendations are strenuous for most people to tackle, and that expectations should be lowered, since, after all, anything is better than nothing. Everyone probably has a level of activity that feels best to him or her. But at least the growing consensus seems to be that more -- if you’re pushing yourself very hard -- is not necessarily better. And it may even be worse.
61. What was the study designed to find out?
A. The relation between exercise amount and health.
B. The difference between non-joggers and joggers.
C. The advantages of jogging over running.
D. The common causes of death from exercise.
62. Who will face the highest mortality risk according to the study?
A. Those jogging just three times per week.
B. Those jogging 150 minutes per week.
C. Those fast-paced joggers.
D. Those slow-paced joggers.
63. What might Peter Schnohr agree with?
A. The early bird catches the worm.
B. Wealth is nothing without health.
C. To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short.
D. Enough exercise brings about happiness.
64. What does the underlined word “strenuous” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Intense. B. Wide-ranging.
C. Necessary. D. Far-reaching.
65. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Why Jogging May Be Better For Your Health Than Running?
B. Can Jogging Increase Your Weight?
C. How Does Jogging Affect Your Health?
D. How Often Should Beginners Run?
D
Time and time again, I hear someone ask why anyone would want to keep an “ugly” building or a building that is dirty and clearly in need of work. I think you could say we preservationists(文物保护者) look at buildings through a different angle -- an angle that can see the swan in the ugly duck, the story in the simple lines, the book behind the cover.
Take the Queen Emma Building for example. While people may remember that building being named as one of the ugliest buildings in town, the angle from which a preservationist will view the building is that it is uniquely constructed with an artistical brise-soleil (遮阳板) to block the sun. The designer used standard concrete bricks to form a decorative wall. Unfortunately, the brise-soleil was removed in 2011, making the building look like many of the contemporary buildings in town.
Sometimes people remember a beautiful site that was replaced by a “horrid” piece of architecture and can't get over their anger, even when that building becomes an important part of our story. This is particularly true in San Francisco where many preservationists themselves dislike anything newer than the Victorian era. Yes，it was a tragedy that many failed to appreciate the Victorian buildings and let many get torn down several decades ago, but those losses also tell another important story. It tells the story of the 1950s and 1960s when there was hope for a more equal society with inexpensive housing for the working class. Should that history be wiped from our memories?
Preservation is not just about keeping pretty, well-kept buildings, but about conveying parts of our history --not just the history of huge events, but the story of how everyone used to go to a certain corner market. Our history cannot be told only in buildings that meet someone’s criteria of beauty; sometimes our history is painful, but no less important.
66. How do preservationists see buildings?
A. They focus on their value rather than appearance.
B. They pay great attention to ancient buildings.
C. They are devoted to repairing famous buildings.
D. They prefer ugly buildings to beautiful ones.
67. What does the author think of removing the brise-soleil of the Queen Emma Building?
A. It’ s confusing. B. It’s pleasing.
C. It’ s regrettable. D. It’s unbelievable.
68. Why were many Victorian buildings in San Francisco torn down?
A. To wipe the history of the Victorian era.
B. To make land available for cheap housing.
C. To work off the deep anger of the working class.
D. To restore the architecture before the Victorian era.
69. What is the author’s intention of writing this passage?
A. To introduce some buildings with historical value.
B. To explain the reason why architects make ugly buildings.
C. To praise the work of preservationists
D. To stress the importance of preserving ugly buildings.
70. Where does the text probably come from?
A. A travel magazine. B. A science book.
C. An environment report. D. A culture paper.

I used to chase happiness a lot when I began to work. I would run after different experiences--goals, achievements and success, because I was quite sure that once I caught up with them, happiness would be with me. It was during that period that I learned happiness was a very fast runner.
Later, I tried to sneak up on happiness. I thought if I didn’t care too little or too much but just enough, it wouldn’t see me coming and then I could catch it.
It turned out that happiness is similar to owls, for both of them have 360-degree vision and extremely sharp hearing. Finally, I decided to sit still, very quietly, until happiness forgot I was there, let down its guard and got close to me. This, surprisingly, worked better than either of the other two ways.
After reading a passage in Time, I think I know the reason. Apparently, for Americans, the chase of happiness is just linked to achieving individual goals which is different from that in other cultures. In many cultures, happiness is regarded as a social phenomenon that happens most readily when it is shared. But our society puts the responsibility for catching happiness on each individual’s shoulders --a heavy burden indeed.
On Facebook,there are a lot of unbelievably happy people doing amazing happiness--producing things every day. However, most of the time, no one is really that happy all the time behind the scenes.
I also like what a famous businessman told Time reporter Mandy Oaklander, “A happy life doesn’t consist of happy moments but every moment of the day.”
Now you know how to get happiness, don’t you?
