Lily was a cheerful girl. She always had a big smile on her face. One day, she noticed an old man Mr. Grumble sitting beside a river. The old man looked sad. Lily wanted to make him smile, so she walked up to him with a friendly greeting.“Good morning, Mr. Grumble! Why the long face?”she asked.
Mr. Grumble said, “What’s there to be happy about, young one? Life is full of troubles.” Lily laughed and replied, “Troubles are like big and scary thunderclouds (雷雨云), Mr. Grumble. But just like clouds, they pass, making way for the sun to shine again. You should try looking on the bright side!”
Lily made a bet with Mr. Grumble, saying, “I bet I can make you smile by the end of the day.” Mr. Grumble challenged her, “You’re welcome to try, but it won’t be easy.”
For the rest of the day, Lily did all kinds of funny and silly things to make Mr. Grumble laugh. She told jokes, sang like nobody was watching, and even made faces. However, Mr. Grumble was still unhappy. As the sun began to set, Lily decided to give it one last try. She took a deep breath and broke into a joyous dance.
Surprisingly, Mr. Grumble couldn’t help it. He let out a chuckle (咯咯笑声), and then another.
Before he knew it, he was laughing heartily, his sadness giving way to happiness. Lily had won the contest,but more importantly, she showed Mr. Grumble that becoming cheerful was not difficult.
Happiness is a choice, and we can find it when we choose to see the bright side of life.

The next time you want to say sweet words to your friends, you might want to speak in their left ear. The direction from which you hear sounds can affect how much you like them, scientists from Switzerland recently found.
The scientists invited 13 people to their study. They listened to different sounds from three directions: the front, left and right. During the study, their brains were scanned (扫描) at the same time.
Positive (积极的) sounds, such as laughter, cause the strongest brain activity when they are heard from the left. All areas in the brain related to (与……有关) hearing are active. This means people may be happier when “good” sounds go in their left ear. This didn’t happen when negative (消极的) sounds, such as scared screams, came from the left. Also, the brain isn’t usually as active when hearing sounds from the front or right.
However, scientists still don’t know the reason for this. In the future, scientists want to learn more about this, and also see if other body parts have such differences, such as the left and right hand.
Humans have a unique (独特的) way of reacting to sounds as previous (之前的) studies pointed out. For example, people are more alert (警觉的) when they hear sounds from the back. Also, sounds that travel toward a person may cause more fear than those traveling away. These can be explained by evolution (进化). In the past when humans lived in the wild, sounds that were getting closer or from the back were usually very dangerous.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
11. Which of the following about the scientists’ study is NOT true according to the text?
A 13 people were invited to the study.
B. The direction from which people hear sounds has nothing to do with how much they like them.
C. The people who were tested listened to different sounds from three directions.
D. During the study, when people listened from different directions, their brains were scanned at the same time.
12. If you say sweet words to someone’s left ear, the person will be ________.
A. happier B. calmer C. more relaxed D. more surprised
13. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. The left ear can protect people from negative sounds.
B. When we say bad words, we should speak in people’s right ear.
C. The human left brain is usually more positive than the right one.
D The brain will be more active when positive sounds come from the left.
14. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Dangers humans know from sounds in the past.
B. Different explanations why humans fear sounds.
C. Humans have the ability to know where sounds come from naturally.
D. Humans have evolved to react to sounds differently by their directions.
15. What’s the theme of the text?
A. Health and sport. B. History and technology.
C. Science and humans. D. Population and environment.
D

Lily was a cheerful girl. She always had a big smile on her face. One day, she noticed an old man Mr. Grumble sitting beside a river. The old man looked sad. Lily wanted to make him smile, so she walked up to him with a friendly greeting.“Good morning, Mr. Grumble! Why the long face?”she asked.
Mr. Grumble said, “What’s there to be happy about, young one? Life is full of troubles.” Lily laughed and replied, “Troubles are like big and scary thunderclouds (雷雨云), Mr. Grumble. But just like clouds, they pass, making way for the sun to shine again. You should try looking on the bright side!”
Lily made a bet with Mr. Grumble, saying, “I bet I can make you smile by the end of the day.” Mr. Grumble challenged her, “You’re welcome to try, but it won’t be easy.”
For the rest of the day, Lily did all kinds of funny and silly things to make Mr. Grumble laugh. She told jokes, sang like nobody was watching, and even made faces. However, Mr. Grumble was still unhappy. As the sun began to set, Lily decided to give it one last try. She took a deep breath and broke into a joyous dance.
Surprisingly, Mr. Grumble couldn’t help it. He let out a chuckle (咯咯笑声), and then another.
Before he knew it, he was laughing heartily, his sadness giving way to happiness. Lily had won the contest,but more importantly, she showed Mr. Grumble that becoming cheerful was not difficult.
Happiness is a choice, and we can find it when we choose to see the bright side of life.

The next time you want to say sweet words to your friends, you might want to speak in their left ear. The direction from which you hear sounds can affect how much you like them, scientists from Switzerland recently found.
The scientists invited 13 people to their study. They listened to different sounds from three directions: the front, left and right. During the study, their brains were scanned (扫描) at the same time.
Positive (积极的) sounds, such as laughter, cause the strongest brain activity when they are heard from the left. All areas in the brain related to (与……有关) hearing are active. This means people may be happier when “good” sounds go in their left ear. This didn’t happen when negative (消极的) sounds, such as scared screams, came from the left. Also, the brain isn’t usually as active when hearing sounds from the front or right.
However scientists still don’t know the reason for this. In the future, scientists want to learn more about this, and also see if other body parts have such differences, such as the left and right hand.
Humans have a unique (独特的) way of reacting to sounds as previous (之前的) studies pointed out. For example, people are more alert (警觉的) when they hear sounds from the back. Also, sounds that travel toward a person may cause more fear than those traveling away. These can be explained by evolution (进化). In the past when humans lived in the wild, sounds that were getting closer or from the back were usually very dangerous.

【答案】例文
Good afternoon. It’s my great pleasure to share with you my ideas about important life skills for teenagers.
Managing time properly is very important. It allows us to balance our study and fun. We are expected to stay healthy, as being healthy is important for everything. Besides, managing to solve problems independently means we can rely on ourselves rather than others. Cooking can help us let go of pressure and share in the housework. Being able to communicate with others is important as well, and it can help us to get along well with others and share our thoughts.
Personally, I’m excited to improve my cooking skills, since usually I order food online when I’m alone and I rarely cook. Hopefully, all of us will find our weak points and work on them to become better people.
