Many people might think that if they had more money, then they would be happier in life. For example, people might look at what others have, like expensive clothes or nice cars, and wish they could have the same. But the things that money can buy can not bring happiness to a person
for long.
① But is that really true? Studies have found that money can, in fact, make people happier. ② Instead, it's giving money to others that makes people happy. ③ It could be buying
a present for a friend or a family member. ④ It could be buying a homeless person food to eat.
It could be giving money to a person in need. Just think about the last time you used your own money to do something for someone else. How did you feel? Whether it is a small or large amount of money, people feel happier when they give. This is because making someone else happy makes the giver happy, too.
This idea of connecting your happiness to the happiness of others is described as ubuntu in an African language. There is even a story about a man visiting Africa who asked some kids to race to
a nearby tree. The first child to touch the tree would get a sweet treat. Surprisingly, all the children held hands and ran together. They all touched the tree at the same time. The man asked why they had done this. The children simply said they could only enjoy eating the treat if everyone had one.

"Well," the trainer said, "when they were very young and much smaller, we used the same rope to keep them from running away. At that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break tile rope. They believe it can still hold them, so they never try to break free."

A Swedish man called Erik started the movement. He saw rubbish here and there when riding to work each day. He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to go to work by bike any more. Instead, he began to run to work
and pick up the rubbish at the same time. To his joy, more and more people followed him and soon plogging became popular.
Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the earth. Sometimes rubbish is difficult to collect because it may scatter all around. But if the runners pick up the rubbish on the way, it is quite different. After all, many hands make light work. Another reason is that plogging burns more calories（卡路里）.According to a research, plogging for 10 minutes burns 48 calories, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.

5．阅读理解
For thousands of years, humans have explored（探索）the Earth. Nowadays, we are exploring space. Astronomers （天文学家） are the modern﹣day explorers, Now, many astronomers are looking for new planets and new places for humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start looking？
First of all, astronomers look for a star. That's because our own Earth moves around a star （the Sun）. More importantly, it is the correct distance（距离） from the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. However, many of these planets are either too near to the star or too far away.
However, if the planet is in a good position, astronomers look for three key things: water, air and rock. Water is important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. Rock on a planet is also important. That's because there is often water under the rock.
After many years of scrutinizing, astronomers have found a planet that is similar to the Earth. It's Gliese 581g and it's near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the average （平均的） temperature is between -31℃ and -12℃.That's cold, but not colder than Antarctica or the Arctic Circle, for example. Gliese 581g is bigger than the Earth. A year on Gliese 581g is only 37 Earth days instead of 365. But astronomers do not think these are big differences and some of them think Gliese 581g will be a new Earth. However, Gliese 58Ig is twenty light years from the Earth.
（1）What do astronomers have to find first before starting to look for a new place for humans to live？
A. new star.
B. A new planet.
C. Some heat.
D. Some light.
（2）What does the rock on a planet tell us？
A. The star is in a right position.
B. We may discover water under it.
C. The planet is too near to the Sun.
D. There can be air around the rock.
（3）What does the underlined word "scrutinizing" mean in the last paragraph？
A. discussing.
B. waiting.
C. looking.
D. traveling.
（4）What's the main idea of the text？
A. Gliese 581g is already a new Earth.
B. There are planets similar to our Earth.
C. Water, air and rock are important.
D. Astronomers are looking for a new Earth.
【答案】（1）A
（2）B
（3）C
（4）D
【解析】【分析】大意：本文讲述了天文学家寻找新的和地球一样的星球。
（1）细节理解题。根据First of all，astronomers look for a star.可知，首先，天文学家找一颗行星，故选A。
（2）细节理解题。根据Rock on a planet is also important.That's because there is often water under the rock.可知，星球上的岩石告诉我们在它下面可能有水，故选B。
（3）词义猜测题。根据上文Now，many astronomers are looking for new planets and new places for humans to live in the future.可知，现在，许多天文学家正在寻找新的星球和新的地方以供人类未来生活，判断本句句意为经过多年的观察（寻找），天文学家找到了一个与地球类似的星球，推出scrutinizing的意思为寻找，故选C。
（4）主旨大意题。根据Now，many astronomers are looking for new planets and new places for humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start looking？现在，许多天文学家正在寻找新的星球和新的地方以供人类未来生活，但是从哪儿开始找呢？本文主要介绍了天文学家寻找新的星球供人类未来生活，即天文学家在寻找新的地球，故选D。

Is a nearby neighbour better than a faraway cousin? An American lady, Anna Lane, believes it's true. Her kind neighbours once helped her out when she was in a big trouble.
Mrs. Lane was living alone in a city in Texas, US. The woman in her 70s could do a lot of housework herself. However, she was too old to mow（修剪）her lawn（草坪）. Then a big trouble found her. She let the grass grow over 18 inches high and it broke the law in her city. As a result, she was in danger of paying lots of money or even going to prison!
Luckily, her neighbours, the Adams brothers, heard the news about her on TV. They decided to do something to help. "We haven't met her yet, but she's 75 years old and she needs some help, "said Sam Adams, one of the boys. "That's the least we could do."
The Adams brothers took their mowers（修剪机）and came to Mrs. Lane's house to mow her lawn without telling her. Once they got started, other neighbours saw what was going on and joined in the effort.
Together they worked hard in the sun and finished mowing the whole lawn in about two hours. When Mrs. Lane saw what her neighbours did for her, she was surprised and moved to tears（感动得落泪）.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.
Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap （代沟）.
Don't argue （争辩） with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

When he was nine years old, American boy Milo Cress had a question: How many plastic straws （吸管） do Americans use every day?
He quickly learned there wasn't a simple answer. The boy tried to work it out himself. Through lots of research, Cress found out that Americans use about 500 million straws every day. In hopes of reducing plastic waste, he founded the Be Straw Free project in 2011.
Cress started the project in his hometown – Burlington, Vermont. He asked a local restaurant to stop offering straws with every drink order. It was a simple change. However, it would save money. And by doing that, the restaurant would cut down on its straw use by 50 percent.
For the years that followed, Cress tried to spread his project across the United States. More and more restaurants agreed to join. They stop providing the customer with a straw unless he or she asks for one. Last April, Seattle became the first American city to completely ban （禁止）plastic straws.
Plastic pollution has been one of the most serious problems today. According to scientists, more than eight million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year. Plastic straws are especially terrible. They make it easy for people to get comfortable with single-use plastics.
After his project became popular, Cress took his findings on the road. He has since spoken to tens of thousands of students around the world. He wants to encourage more people to say no to plastic straws.
"Focusing（聚焦） on straws is one simple step we all could take," Cress says. "And it makes me feel that I, as a kid, could make a difference, too."
