Four habits to live a happier life
Having a happier life is something we all always struggle for, and being happy includes so many aspects — mental, physical and spiritual — of our lives. One of the key principles of having a happier life is to always do things that bring us happiness. 1
Consider the following habits to improve your life and make it as happy as you possibly can.
Praise others.
Be kind to others, like praising them. 2 Don't be afraid to tell people how great they look, or how awesome their smile is. It'll do them good, and do you good too!
Focus on the present moment.
Take some time every day to focus on the present moment. 3 Try not to think about negative past experiences and hug the time you have now. You'll soon find that even the
slightest thing that you do at this moment can bring about happiness for many hours and days to come.
Learn to control your emotions.
4 And it's definitely not worth the emotions. Don't compromise on your happiness just because someone is trying to pick a fight. Just let it go (不要理会) and be happier.
5
Just before you go to bed, write down at least one wonderful thing that happened. It might be something as small as a child's laugh or something as huge as a million-dollar deal. Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again.
A. End each day with thankfulness.
B. Of course, everyone loves to be happy.
C. It is the only certain time we have in our life.
D. It can make people happy and give them confidence.
E. It's not worth the argument when your partner is testing your patience.
F. So it is important to develop the right habits to ensure we live a happier life.
G. Try to set aside a few hours a day, doing something fun to make yourself happy.
B
Do women talk more than men? 1 According to the latest research from the United States of America, men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate. Professor Deborah Tannen, of Georgetown University, has noticed differences in the style of boys' and girls' conversations from an early age. According to her study, little girls' conversation is less clear than boys' and expresses more doubts. 2
These differences will continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more than women do. In private conversations, men and women speak in almost equal amounts. 3 Professor Tannen believes that, for women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy (亲密). For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure (结构) of a relationship.
4 “When a woman teaches another woman,” says Professor Tannen, “she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in. When a man teaches a woman, however, he wants to show that he has more knowledge and power in conversation.
5 ”
Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is preprogrammed for language. As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual bias (偏向) in its programming; otherwise, male speech patterns would not arise at all.
A. And he uses his language to show this.
B. Do men talk in the same way as women?
C. However, they say things in a different style.
D. Women are far more silent than men in public conversations.
E. Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.
F. More women are encouraged to help each other, talking about their doubts.
G. Teaching is one job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show.
C
The exciting game of football
Football is one of the most popular sports in the US. 1 That kind involves kicking a round ball into a net and is called soccer in North America. American football, however, uses a ball that is pointy (尖的) on both ends. While it does include some kicking, there is more throwing and catching involved.
In football, there are 11 players from each team on the field at one time. Each team tries to move the ball across the opposing team's goal line to score. The quarterback (四分卫) throws the ball, and the person who catches it tries to run past the opposing team's players. The way to stop someone running with the ball is to tackle him. That means hitting right against him and trying to knock him down to the ground. 2
The biggest professional football organization in the US is the National Football League (NFL). The NFL championship game is called the Super Bowl, and it is one of the most watched television events around the globe. 3 For example, millions of toilets are flushed (冲洗) at the same time during half-time. Also, 14,500 tons of chips are consumed during the game.
Most sports fans are happy with just sitting in the stands and cheering on their
teams. 4 They dress themselves in their team's colors. Some of the excitement happens
before the games even begin. Fans gather and hang out in the parking lots outside the stadiums and have huge parties. 5 There are also endless amounts of sodas and beers. All of these combined with the game itself make football one huge and popular social event.
A. However, it isn't the game of football played in other parts of the world.
B. As a result, professional players have to be strong and quick.
C. It is an exciting sport that can sometimes get pretty rough.
D. There are many amazing facts about the Super Bowl.
E. It is also the wealthiest sports league in the world.
F. Everything from sandwiches to chips is served.
G. For some, that is not enough.
D
There are a number of tips that you can follow to help you find a job that suits your personality.
List your strong and weak points
Before you start your job search, take some time to think about your strong and weak points. 1 If you are excellent at managing your time, for example, a job in project management, or one that involves organising others, could be perfect.
Ask others for their opinions
Although you should know yourself better than anyone else, there are times when a second opinion is needed. 2 They may come up with ideas that you haven't considered. You should, however, make sure that they aren't so protective of you that they persuade you not to push yourself, or encourage you so much that you aim too high.
Find out what potential jobs involve
3 Make sure you do as much research as possible to determine exactly what you will have to do. An office job may sound very safe if you are shy, but if you then find that you have to give regular presentations, you may not be cut out for it after all.
4
When looking for a job, many people have an idea of what they would like to be in the future. However, that is often little more than a dream and, even if it is possible to reach that goal, it may involve years of hard work that you don't enjoy. 5 If you can find a job that mirrors what makes you happy in life, then the chances are that you will enjoy it and it will match your personality type.
A. Take a personality test
B. Consider what delights you
C. Think about what makes you happy and then analyse why.
D. Finding a job that suits your personality is very important.
E. Ask your friends and family what sort of job they think would suit you best.
F. Sometimes, it isn't immediately obvious what a job will involve until you start it.
G. More importantly, think about how they would affect your ability to do particular jobs.

解析
A篇（日常活动）
本文是说明文。怎样才能生活得更加快乐呢？本文给出了几点建议。
1. F。本空前说“想要生活得更快乐的一个重要原则就是总是去做能带给我们快乐的事情”。既然总是要去做这些事情，那么“养成正确的习惯来确保我们生活得更快乐就很重要了”。
2. D。本段建议大家夸奖别人。听到别人的夸奖，人们自然会“高兴并且有自信”。
3. C。本段建议大家关注当下。过去的已经无法改变，将来的无法预计，所以当下是“我们生命中唯一确定的时刻”。C项中的It指代the present moment。
4. E。本段建议大家学会控制自己的情绪。E项“当你的搭档考验你的耐心时，你不值得为此跟他争论”符合本段语境。其中的It's not worth和下一句中的it's definitely not worth 相呼应。
5. A。根据本段内容可知，作者建议大家睡觉前至少记录一件很棒的事情，而且不管是什么事情都要心怀感激，因为同样的事情不会再有。由此可以推断，作者建议大家“心怀感激地结束每一天”。A项中的thankfulness与最后一句中的grateful都表示“心怀感激”，是解题的关键。
B篇（人际关系）
本文是议论文。男性和女性在谈话方面有着显著的差异。
1. B。本空前一句是一个问题：女性比男性话多吗？本空后一句告诉我们，男性和女性在谈话方面有着显著的差异。由此可以推断，B项“男性和女性谈话方式一样吗？”在形式和意义上都符合此处语境。
2. E。本段后半部分比较了小男孩和小女孩在谈话方面的差异。本空前是关于小女孩的谈话方式，所以本空应该是关于小男孩的谈话方式。
3. C。本空前一句说“在私底下谈话时，男性和女性的谈话量差不多”，本空后两句分别介绍了在私底下谈话时，男性和女性之间的差异。所以本句应该是承上启下，表明男性和女性“谈话方式不同”。
4. G。根据接下来的两句说明男性和女性在教书育人的方式上也有着差异可知，G项符合本段语境，并概括了全段内容，适合放在段首做主题句。
5. A。本空前说当男性教女性时，他想要显示他的知识更加渊博，在谈话中有更多的掌控力。那么男性如何实现这个目的呢？通过运用语言。A项中的show是解题的关键。
C篇（体育）
本文是说明文。文章介绍了美式足球。
1. A。本空前一句说“足球是美国最受欢迎的运动之一”，本空后一句介绍英式足球，那么本空应该将美式足球和英式足球连接起来。A项中的the game of football played in other parts of the world与下一句中的soccer相呼应。it指代上一句中的Football。
2. B。根据本空前一句可知，想要截下对方球员，需要把他撞倒在地，由此可以推断，想要当职业球员，不仅要“强壮”还要“速度快”，以免让对方球员追上。
3. D。本空后举的两个例子都是关于超级碗的一些“有趣的事情”。
4. G。根据本空后的内容可知，仅仅坐在看台上为自己喜欢的球队加油“对有些球迷来说是不够的”。他们还会装扮自己，组织其他的活动。
5. F。根据本空后的also, sodas, beers可推测，本空应该与食物有关。
D篇（个人情况）
本文是说明文。如何找到适合自己个性的工作呢？本文给出了几点建议。
1. G。本段建议大家列出自己的优缺点。本空前说“在开始找工作前，花一些时间想想自己的优缺点”，本空后举例子说明从事自己擅长的事情对工作的影响。由此可以推断，作者建议大家不仅要想想自己的优缺点，还要想想“这些优缺点对你工作能力的影响”。
2. E。本段建议大家询问别人的意见。E项与上一句中的a second opinion相呼应。
3. F。本段建议大家弄清楚你可能从事的工作会涉及哪些方面。本空后一句建议大家尽可能多做一些调查研究，确定将从事的工作到底需要自己做什么。为什么要这么做呢，因为“有时候，除非你开始做某项工作，否则你不会马上弄清楚那项工作涉及哪些方面”。
4. B。根据本段内容可知，如果能找到一份让自己快乐的工作，那么不仅会让自己在工作时乐在其中，而且这份工作也最有可能适合自己的个性。所以作者建议大家在找工作时，“想想什么能让自己快乐”。

When you are reading books, especially challenging ones, you will probably find yourself exposed to many new words. Do you remember when you learned to read, how you learned to figure out the meaning of one word by reading the other words in the sentence? 4 Reading can help you get access to the diversity of ethnicity (民族特点) of people, their customs and their lifestyles. You'll become more aware of different places. 5 Reading really widens your horizon (视野) of information, so you'll always have something to talk about.

When I was fourteen years old, my mom and I didn't have money for a Christmas dinner, much less gifts. 1 Homemade gifts are nice, but I wasn't very imaginative and too poor for supplies. I decided to give my mom something I treasured myself — a necklace. I didn't expect to get anything that year. It was about giving.
I cleaned the necklace, and wrapped (包裹) it in the prettiest paper I could find. I was so excited; I couldn't wait for her to open it.
Single moms have it hard, and I really wanted to see her smile. 2 I waited anxiously for her to open it but she just sat there with the box in her hands and looked at it. After what seemed a long time, she looked at me and said, “I have something for you, too.”
She reached into her pocket, pulled out another small box, placed it in my hands and told me although it was not much, it was filled with love.
3 I knew money was tight and hoped Mom hadn't spent money on something we couldn't afford.
Inside the box, there was a tiny ring with a small diamond in the center. I got a huge lump in my throat (哽咽) and looked at her. She smiled and told me it had been her wedding ring from my dad. 4 I slipped it on my finger and hugged my mom.
She opened my gift and when she saw the necklace, big tears filled her eyes. She asked me to put it on her. 5 I could only nod my head in agreement.
A. I handed her the little box, hugged and kissed her and wished her a Merry Christmas.
B. This Christmas, I give thanks for Mom and treasure every memory we two shared.
C. I knew she was sad about it, and I was determined we wouldn't let it get us down.
D. She held the necklace and told me she thought this was our best Christmas ever.
E. We always opened our gifts on Christmas Eve night.
F. I was quite curious and a little scared.
G. It was now mine.
D
Five Ways to Go Green and Save Green
Climate change is in the news. It seems like everyone's “going green.” We're glad you want to take action, too. Luckily, many of the steps we can take to stop climate change can make our lives better. Let's start now.
Save energy to save money.
Set your thermostat (恒温器) a few degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer to save on heating and cooling costs.
1 As much as 85 percent of the energy used to machine-wash clothes goes to heat the water.
Unplug (拔掉……的电源插头) electrical equipment when you're not using it.
Save water to save money.
Take shorter showers to reduce water use. This will lower your water and heating bills too.
Plant drought-tolerant (耐旱的) native plants in your garden. 2 Find out about these plants in your area.
Fix a low-flow showerhead. They don't cost much, and the water and energy savings can quickly pay back your money.
3
Walk or bike to work. This saves on gas and parking costs while improving your health and reducing your risk of being fat.
Eat smart.
If you eat meat, add one meatless meal a week. Meat costs a lot at the store and it's even more expensive when you consider the related environmental and health costs.
4 Purchasing from local farmers keeps money in the local economy.
Avoid bottled water.
5
Use a water filter (过滤器) to make drinking water instead of buying bottled water. Not only is bottled water expensive, but it causes large amounts of container waste.
A. When speaking of something to eat, try local products whenever you can.
B. Our grandchildren and their children will thank us for living green.
C. Bring a reusable water bottle with you when traveling or at work.
D. Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible.
E. Less gas = more money and better health!
F. Move a little nearer to your work.
G. Many plants need little watering.
