A new study has fund human feelings can accurately be expressed numerically and have mre predictive pwer fr hw we behave than frmal studies f sciecnmic factrs like husehld incme and emplyment status.
The study c-authr Andrew Oswald, a prfessr f ecnmics and behaviral science gathered infrmatin frm nearly 700, 000 peple, wh were asked annually ver a three-decade perid hw they felt n a numerical scale abut their jb, spuse, health and hme. Using the data cllected, researchers cnstructed statistical mdels t shw hw peple felt and the actins they tk as a result f their reprted feelings. The study fund that ratings f life satisfactin had a direct linear(线性的) relatinship t actins peple subsequently take. Participants wh rated their jb satisfactin as a 2 ut f 7 had a 25% prbability f quitting their jb. Thse wh rated a 6 ut f 7 had nly a 10 percent prbability f quitting. The same was true acrss ther measures like marriage, health and husing.
Previus research has als shwn data abut feelings predict human utcmes, but nt in such a linear fashin; the degree f satisfactin served as a gd predictr f future actins. Additinally, ecnmists have previusly been critical f feelings data because they cnsidered them unscientific and unreliable. But this study shws sciecnmic factrs have a lesser prbability f predicting human behavir than data n feelings.
Thugh the study shws numbers can quantify feelings, researchers are still a bit cnfused as t why estimates f seemingly subjective feelings can be such gd predictrs f future actins. Accrding t Oswald, a number f factrs culd be at play. Humans are very experienced in cmparative thinking and are able t scale their wn life satisfactin against that f their neighbrs. We're als accustmed t using measuring devices fr ther aspects f life like temperature, distance and weight, s it shuldn't be t surprising that we're able t measure ur feelings in a similarly accurate way. Anther study c-authr Caspar Kaiser says that it may als be because we cmmunicate ur feelings and d it in a scaled fashin every day. This culd be why it cmes ut in the data mre accurately than in bjective markers.
Ori Heffetz, an ecnmics prfessr wh was nt invlved in the study, says that this research shws feelings data shuldn't be underestimated even if they're mre difficult t study. "Scientists wh ignre this d s at their wn risk," he says.
Lking ahead, Kaiser hpes this same data can be studied in lwer-incme cuntries s that it can be applied universally t places with varied levels f ecnmic develpment. But mre than anything else he's interested in studying why feelings wrk s well.
7.Paragraph 2 is mainly abut ______.
A. research prcess and findings
B. research tpic and significance
C. research subjects and purpse
D. research data cllectin and analysis
8.What can we knw abut the study?
A. It als applies t peple frm lwer-incme cuntries.
B. It challenges the pinin that feelings data are unreliable.
C. It explains why ratings f feelings can fresee future actins.
D. It first shws data abut feelings can predict human behavir.
9.What is Ori's attitude twards the study?
A. Neutral.B. Skeptical.C. Supprtive.D. Cautius.
10.Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Hw Yu Rate Yur Life Predicts Yur Future Behavir
B. Feelings Frecast Actins Better than Ecnmic Factrs
C. Why Yur Feelings Affect Yur Future Actins
D. Ranking Every Aspect f Yur Life Cunts

Peple wh think f themselves as tugh-minded and realistic tend t take it fr granted that human nature is selfish and that life is a struggle in which nly the fittest may survive. Accrding t this philsphy, the basic law by which peple must live, is the law f the jungle. The “fittest” are thse wh can bring t the struggle superir frce, superir cunning and superir ruthlessness.
But we are entitled t ask whether the ruthlessness f the tiger, the cunning f the fx and the bedience t the law f the jungle are, in their human applicatins, actually evidence f human fitness t survive. If human beings are t pick up pinters n behavir frm the lwer animals, are there nt animals ther than beasts f prey frm which we might learn lessns in survival?
We might, fr example, lk t the rabbit r the deer and define fitness t survive as superir speed in running away frm ur enemies. We might pint t the earthwrm r the mle and attribute their fitness t survive t the ability t keep ut f sight and ut f the way. If we simply lk t animals in rder t define what we mean by “fitness t survive”, there is n limit t the subhuman systems f behavir that we can think up. We may emulate any animal because they have all bviusly survived in ne way r anther. We are still entitled t ask, hwever, if human survival des nt revlve arund a different kind f fitness frm that f the lwer animals.
Bilgists distinguish between tw kinds f struggle fr survival. First, there is the interspecific struggle, warfare between different species f animals. Secnd, there is the intraspecific struggle, warfare amng members f a single species. A great deal f evidence in mdern bilgy indicates that thse species that have develped elabrate means f intraspecific cmpetitin ften make themselves unfit fr interspecific cmpetitin, and that strength and fierceness in fighting and killing ther animals, whether in interspecific r intraspecific cmpetitin, have never been enugh in themselves t guarantee the survival f a species.
If we are ging t talk abut human survival, ne f the first things t d, even if we grant that peple must fight t live, is t distinguish between thse qualities that are useful in fighting the envirnment and ther species and thse qualities that are useful in fighting ther peple. There are als characteristics imprtant t human survival that d nt invlve fighting.
Cperatin is essential t the survival f mst living creatures. And human beings are the talking animals. Any thery f human survival that leaves this fact ut f accunt is n mre scientific than wuld be a thery f beaver survival that failed t cnsider the interesting uses a beaver makes f its teeth and flat tail. Let us see what talking means.
11.Accrding t the passage, the “Survival f the Fittest” thery _________.
A. shws that the tugh-minded and realistic survive
B. is ften used as an excuse fr neˈs being selfish
C. applies better in human sciety than in the wild
D. is universally acknwledged amng scientists
12.What des the underlined wrd “emulate” in Paragraph 3 mst prbably mean?
A. Cpy.B. Prtect.C. Trap.D. Admire.
13.Accrding t the passage, the authr is mst likely t agree that _________.
A. humans have n superir frce ver ther species
B. humans have survived because they are the fittest
C. humans dnˈt have t learn frm animals t survive
D. humans need t fight each ther fr their wn survival
14.What is mst likely t be talked abut next?
A. Ways t make humans mre cmpetitive.
B. Humanˈs cperatin Via cmmunicatin.
C. Differences between beavers and humans.
D. The develpment f human survival skills.

31.The Pwer f Determinatin
Yur quest fr success and happiness begins with right intentins. It culminates (达到顶点) when yu reach yur chsen gals. What sustains yur effrt in between is yur determinatin. What carries yu twards yur gals is yur determinatin. It means the firmness f purpse r intentin.
If there is ne gift that yu can give t yurself in yur life t be what yu want t be, it is the pwer f determinatin. Withut it yu are a mere passive spectatr in the drama f yur life. If there is ne quality that makes a difference between a winner and a lser r a leader and a fllwer, it is the pwer f determinatin. Withut it, yu may dream wild dreams, but yu will nt accmplish much in life. If yu have determinatin, nthing can stp yu and deter yu frm fllwing yur curse f actin t achieve yur gals r realize yur dreams.
Obstacles may arise and bstruct yur prgress. They may delay yur success, disturb yu temprarily, and may even mislead yu, but they cannt withstand the pwer f determinatin. It is the pwer that yu generate within yurself t remain cmmitted t yur path and cnvictin, and march twards yur cherished gals. Befre yu take up any prject r gal, yu shuld knw whether yu have the determinatin t stick t yur plans and reach yur gals. Yur determinatin has t arise frm within and derive its reinfrcement frm yur thinking and beliefs rather than circumstances. Only then will yu be able t sustain yur effrt, even when the ging gets tugh. Determinatin is yur inner strength. Like the hardwd inside a tree, it gives yu the pwer t stand tall and face the winds f turmil.
With determinatin, yu can crush the muntains f fear and dubts in yu. Yu can find yur way thrugh the mst difficult situatins. Determinatin des nt mean yu will be insensitive t the reality f the situatin. A determined persn is als an adaptable and flexible persn. He is nt interested in being tugh fr tughness sake, but t vercme bstacles and reach his gals. Hence, he remains pen-minded abut pssibilities and pprtunities, but firm in his cmmitment and cnvictins. Discipline and determinatin g tgether. If yu have them, yu becme unstppable.
(1) Accrding t the passage, what is determinatin?_____________________________________________________
(2) What wuld happen if ne des nt have determinatin?_____________________________________________________
(3) Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With determinatin, yu can crush the muntains f fear and dubts in yu, and yu will nt make changes.
