A(2021·锦州)
Wang Hongyue, 14, Sichuan
I feel happy when I’m with my family. My parents never compare me with other kids. My mum will say “well done” or “thank you” if I help to do the housework.
I especially like my brother. I still remember when I was eight, I had a bad stomachache. My parents were not at home, so my brother, then 14, took me to the hospital. For me, happiness has nothing to do with money. Having a loving and caring family is enough.
Ren Xuyang, 14, Guangdong
I feel happy while trying to help others. Last year, I visited a special school for students with poor sight or hearing loss. It was difficult for them to write and read pinyin, so I taught them over and over. For over 3 hours, we repeated the same work, but we didn’t feel tired. As an old saying goes, “The rose’s in her hand, the flavour in mine.”
Zhan Danyuan, 15, Shanxi
I feel happy when I hang out with my friends and do something together. Last winter, three friends and I performed an original(原创的) song at a school party. At first, we wrote down how we felt about each other. Then, we corrected our mistakes and practised. Finally, when we sang on the stage, the audience were excited. For me, happiness is doing something that I love with like-minded(志趣相投的) people.

The human body is a machine that can raise lots of interesting questions. Why, for example, are yawns(哈欠) contagious(传染的)?What’s up with ice cream headaches? Here are answers to these and other questions about our bodies.
Why do I get a headache when I eat ice cream too quickly?
Scientists aren’t exactly sure what causes the brain freeze when we eat ice cream or other cold foods too quickly, though some believe it’s the result of the changed blood flow in the nervous system. Blood vessels in the head tighten to stop the loss of body heat and then relax to let the blood flow rise. That sudden rush of blood is what causes the headache. You can improve an ice cream headache by rapidly rubbing your tongue across the roof of your mouth to help warm up things.
What causes my stomach to make a low continuous noise when I’m hungry?
Actually, your stomach makes noise whether you’re hungry or full. You just hear it more clearly when you’re hungry. Think of your digestive tract(消化道) as a really long tube lined with smooth muscle tissue. These muscles move food, fluids and gas through your digestive tract. It can make you feel embarrassed but is nothing to worry about.
Why do I blush when I’m embarrassed?
When you’re embarrassed, your brain releases a shot of adrenaline(肾上腺素), which makes your heart race and blood vessels become larger in size. All this happens to increase the blood flow and oxygen delivery throughout the body in a fight-or-flight reaction. There are a lot of tiny blood vessels in your face. The face turns noticeably redder from this sudden rush of blood. As for the actual function of blushing, researchers are still trying to find that one out.
Why are yawns contagious?
Have you ever yawned in front of others, only to have them yawn right back? It’s a common thing, but researchers don’t have a good explanation for it. They do, however, know this only happens to humans and chimpanzees(黑猩猩). A bigger question puzzling scientists is why we yawn. It used to be thought that yawning showed that oxygen to the brain was not enough, but that was just a myth. Research now shows that yawning is a natural way of keeping our brains cool.
( B )6. What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “tighten”?
A. 变松 B. 变紧 C. 变短 D. 变长
B
( A )7. Which of the following sentences can be filled in the blank?
A. And that’s what you’re hearing when your stomach makes noise.
B. And that’s what makes you feel uncomfortable when you’re full.
C. And that’s why you’re so hungry when your stomach is empty.
D. And that’s how it makes a difference to your digestive tract.
( A )8. Which can make your heart race and blood vessels become larger in size?
A. Adrenaline. B. Ice cream. C. Yawns. D. Sleep.

( D )9. Which of the following statements is true?
A. There is no way for you to improve an ice cream headache.
B. Researchers have found out the actual function of blushing.
C. Your stomach makes noise only when you are hungry.
D. Researchers don’t have a good explanation for why yawns are contagious.
( B )10. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Some interesting facts B. Our strange body
C. Some useful discoveries D. Our amazing feelings
