I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s.

“Excuse me," 1 said, my voice trembling 自bit. “I couldn't help overhearing what you said to the cashier. It sounds like you're going through a really hard time right now. I'm so sorry. I'd like to give you something.”

I was a little startled by her reply. Having never done anything like this before, I didn't know what kind of reaction I might receive. All I could think to say was: "Would it be OK to give you a hug?"

A few days earlier, one of my workmates gave similar card to me as encouragement for a project I was working on. When 1 read the card, I felt a warm glow spread inside of me. Deeply touched, I ordered my own box of “You Matter” cards and started sharing them.

Have you ever heard of invisible ink? You may have seen it in movies. When light is shone on the paper which invisible ink is written on, you can read it!

As magical as this seems, the change in color is due to science. The ink is absorbing higher energy light and giving lower energy light. This reaction is an example of fluorescence (荧光).

Light is a very broad term that describes a range of electromagnetic rays ， including gamma rays , infrared light (红外光) and ultraviolet light. One part of the electromagnetic visible light is the colors that we can see with the human eye. These rays travel in curvy lines and each type of the ray is characterized by a different wave pattern. For example, Gamma rays have a shorter wavelength than infrared light. Shorter wavelength is connected with higher energy, so gamma rays also have more energy than infrared light.

Corals (珊瑚) are animals that live underwater. And the corals in the Red Sea exhibit fluorescence. Why is this happening? Scientists have shown that fluorescent objects absorb higher energy light and release lower energy light. Since the corals of the Red Sea are deep in the water where there is very little visible light, scientists theorize that these corals absorb ultraviolet light and produce visible light. They have special photo proteins, which enable them to change invisible light to visible light.

Fluorescence is not just used to create pretty colors. Corals have developed photo proteins for a biological reason. 'The visible light is used by algae (海藻)，which are eaten by the coral, to make food through photosynthesis ( 光合作用)。'The visual

character of these photo proteins could also be used for biomedical research. 'They can highlight cells and cell structures under a microscope.

Isn't it amazing that a simple organism that we don't think very much of is not only grand but could also have so many potential uses in medical research!

28. The author mentioned invisible ink to_________________

A. describe its various uses in movies

B. analyze the many changes in colors

C. prove the magical power of science

D. give an explanation of fluorescence

29. What can we learn about fluorescent corals from the passage?

A. They take in higher energy light.

B. They cannot live in visible light.

C. They are invisible deep in water.

D. They produce more infrared light.

30. Why are the corals in the Red Sea fluorescent?

A. To make full use of photosynthesis.

B. To make their appearances colorful.

C. To provide light for algae to make food.

D. To defend themselves from being eaten.

D

In the 1990s, a psychologist named Martin Seligman led the positive psychology movement，which placed the study of human happiness squarely at the center of psychology research and theory.

Since then, thousands of studies and hundreds of books have been published with the goal of increasing well-being and helping people lead more satisfying lives. But for over 40 years, self-reported measures of happiness have stayed stagnant (停滞的).Such efforts to improve happiness have been an ineffective attempt to swim against the tide, as we may actually be programmed to be dissatisfied most of the time. Why aren't we happier?

Part of the problem is that happiness isn't just one thing. Jenifer Hecht, a philosopher who studies the history of happiness, proposes that we all experience different types of happiness, which are not necessarily complementary Some types of happiness may even conflict with one another. In other words, having too much of one type of happiness may weaken our ability lo have enough of the others. For example, a satisfying life is build on a successful career and a good marriage. It takes a lot of work and often requires culling buck on many of life's pleasures. That means we can't spend one pleasant lazy day after another in the company of good friends.

This difficult situation becomes more confused by the way our brains process the experience of happiness. A lot of evidence shows that most of the people possess something called the optimistic bias. They lend lo think that their future will be better than the present.

Cognitive psychologists have also identified something called the Pollyanna Principle. It means that people process，rehearse and remember pleasant information more than unpleasant information. Why the good old days seem so good is because we focus on the pleasant stuff and tend to forget the unpleasantness. And if our past is great and our future can be even better, then we can work our way out of the unpleasant present.

Dissatisfaction with the present and dreams of the future are what keep us motivated. In fact, endless happiness would completely destroy our will. Among our earliest ancestors, those who were perfectly content may have been left in the dust.

Recognizing that happiness exists may help us appreciate it more when it arrives. Furthermore，understanding that it's impossible to have happiness in all aspects of life can help us enjoy the happiness that has touched us. Recognizing that no one “has it all” can cut down on the one thing that psychologists know prevents happiness: envy.

31. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that people_______________________

A. are born to be dissatisfied

B. will never be happier than before

C. fail to achieve their desire for happiness

D. find it impossible to measure their happiness

32. Jennifer Hecht stales that___________________________

A. happiness needs to be experienced without limits

B. people can't have all types of happiness al the same time

C. different people have different types of happiness

D. different types of happiness always conflict with one another

33. Which of the following cases belongs to Pollyanna Principle?

A. People focus on the nice things in the past.

B. People tend to recall their past failures alone.

C. People are usually disappointed with what they have.

D. People consider their future to be better than the present.

34. According to the passage ，lack of happiness al present

A. restricts our ability of achieving goals

B. leads to our envying others' happiness

C. enables people to feel perfectly content

D. motivates people to seek more happiness

第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分,共10分)

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

I have met many westerners who do not feel anything to put their feet on the table while sitting on the chair.   35   They don't feel like it is a strange or rude thing to do it. And I know that they don't mean to be ill-behaved. However, in the eyes of a Myanmarese, it is really a very rude thing.

For Myanmarese, the head is the most sacred (神圣的) part of the human body while the feet are the most inferior part.    36    They touch ground, dirt, mud and garbage. Just think. of all the dirty things lying on the ground. So the Myanmarese regard feet as the most dirty and smelly part of one's body.

  37   When you put that dirty part of your body onto other people's clean table, it is like an insult ( 侮辱) to that person if that person is a Myanmarese. There is nothing more insulting to a Myanmarese than to point your feet towards him. So, if you want to win the heart of your Myanmarese friends, next time when you drop in on him or he visits you, try not to put your feet on the living room table or point your feet towards him. Indeed, your feet should never be pointing to the direction of a person or a sacred place.   38  

Possibly, your Myanmarese friend will not say anything even if you do it. But it does not mean that he is OK with your behavior or approves of your behavior.   39   Even if that person is your employee or your house maid, you should never do it to him or her.

A. This seems a normal habit to them.

B. In his heart he will consider you as a rude person.

C. Whatever you do, don't touch the head of a Myanmarese.

D. This is the rule that you must strictly follow in Myanmar.

E. Being the lowest part, they are also considered the dirtiest part.

F For Myanmarese, the dirty part should only be in the lowest place.

C. Myanmarese people do 1no express themselves us directly as Westerners.

第一节  阅读表达 (共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分，共12分)。

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。

When I was al school, our teacher used to tell the class: “You are what you eat.” Actually, he was trying l0 show us the importance of eating the right food to stay healthy. And there are clear proofs that you become what you eat.

Japanese people are considered to be the healthiest in the world because of the food they eat. Most of them eat rice and fish and vegetables every day. They drink green tea or water when they're thirsty, and snack on dried fish, fruit or ginkgo nuts. This tradition diet helps them live a longer and healthier life.

Food has great effect on our physical and emotional health. Have you ever heard any of the following advice?

●Lettuce (生菜) or milk can make you sleepy.

●To stop feeling sleepy, you should eat dried fish.

●To keep your teeth clean, you should eat apples often.

●Garlic helps you not to catch cold.

But some advice may be contradictory to each other. While some people say

“eating chocolate makes you fat and gives you spots"，some others say “chocolate contains the essential minerals like iron and magnesium (镁).”In this case, what you need to do is to figure out what type o[ chocolate and how much of it to eat.

Some restaurants have already had their menus list the nutritional content and the benefits of their dishes and drinks. Let's take the restaurant “Winners” as an example. Its dishes are specifically designed to help people win sports competitions. There is a typical Nightbefore dish, a vegetable lasagne (宽面条) with rich tomato sauce full of vitamin and soft， easy-lo-digest vegetables, which is lopped with a little fresh cheese - just enough 1o help you get good night's sleep. Or you can choose the Go-faster salad, which is a large bowl of mixed raw vegetables in a light salad dressing. 'The vegetables are: carefully chosen l0 include plenty of natural vitamins and minerals. It gives you energy without making you gain weight.

'The: concept of eating food only because it's tasty is going out of fashion. And food producers are changing Cola companies are making sugar-free and caffeine-free drinks. Food companies are making cookies with dried fruit because it is healthier. So in the future you might be able 1to eat your way to your idea of perfection.

40. Why do Japanese people live a longer and healthier life?

41. What advice docs the author give on eating chocolate?

42. Please decide which pant of the following statement is false. then underline it and explain why.

Some restaurants hate their menus list the benefit of the dishes and drinks to encourage the customers 140 order more food and drink.

43. What do you think about the concept of “eating food because it's tasty"? Please give your reasons. ( about 40 words)

Dear Jim,

Don’t worry too much! It’s perfectly normal for candidates like you and me to feel a bit stressed as the examinations get closer. No one of us is having an easy time. But still we can do something to successfully get through the next few weeks.

The most important thing I think is to take good care of ourselves: eat and sleep on time to keep healthy, and take exercise regularly to increase energy. Whenever you feel tired or depressed, spare some time to have fun with families and friends.

As for school work, I think it’s essential to find out what needs to be done. Then make a schedule and set time for each subject, which will ensure us enough time to review.

Anyway, don’t push yourself too hard. Just relax! Everything will be fine.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Li Hua
