In other words, whether you are looking for life-long satisfaction or a few moments of good cheer, you’ve got to move forward. We’ve interviewed the experts and found five steps to take toward a sunny mood： Over a 30-year period, University of Illinois researchers asked nearly 120,000 people how money, education, volunteer activities and close relationships influenced their happiness. Reported Newsweek’s Sharon Begley on the findings, “The greatest happiness is found with the strongest and most satisfying relationships.” Singing aloud, talking to a stranger, raising your hand: all may increase a feeling of happiness, according to a study from Wake Forest University. Participants(参与者) followed the development of their moods for two weeks and reported feeling happier when they were more outgoing. The editors of forbes.com gave $5 or $20 to 46 strangers by chance. Half the group was told to spend the money on themselves, while the other half was told to spend it on others. Those who spent it on others felt much happier at the end of the day than those who’d spent it on themselves. There was no difference in happiness between those who spent $5 or $20, suggesting that it’s not how much money you spend, but how you spend it, that inspires the spirit. Drinking water really can help keep you cheerful. A small 2012 study from the University of Connecticut suggested that even slight dehydration(脱水) influenced the female participants’ happiness. Some steps toward living _____1_____ Value your relationship The highest _____2_____ of happiness lies in the strongest and most satisfying relationships. ____3____ yourself You are gain happiness by singing aloud or talking to others. Spend money on others Your spirit will be inspired by _____4_____ the wealth.

We knew the right steps to complete it. We dealt with the frame first and then the large objects with special lines and colors. My wife mainly used the color and shape of the pieces to help with the puzzle, but I paid much attention to the picture on the box as a guide. And so began our long journey of the puzzle. What is a jigsaw? First, it is a puzzle to be solved. But unlike many puzzles, it can be solved with some talent and a stubborn determination (决心). In our case, 3 to 4 hours a day for 15 days. In fact, a jigsaw puzzle is a testament to one’s character. You use lots of time to complete this useless task for no better reason than not giving up. I recorded the journey on Facebook and received much encouragement along the way from many unknown people. So what to do with the completed puzzle? It is too big and I have nowhere to put it. I can do nothing but to break it up and put it back in the box. It took 15 days to put the puzzle together and only two minutes to break it up. When our pieces were back in the box, it was clear that the goal was never to complete the puzzle at all. Rather it was just a method to fill time. In this way, jigsaw puzzles are like life itself: It’s all about the journey and the destination (终点) is not very important.

When stressed, depressed, upset or otherwise in a negative state of mind because you are aware that misfortune (不幸) keeps happening. It is important to change those negative thoughts to something positive. If not, you will only attract more misfortune. It is often very hard to think positive when so many things are negative, but be sure that someone, somewhere is worse off than you. You can choose to think differently by beginning with the smallest of steps. If you start one small, positive thing and appreciate (感激) it during the course of your day, you will begin to move into a more positive situation and people will start showing up in your life. With appreciation, you will find that over time, you will change your outlook and choose to be happy, regardless of the events around you. Here are a few common examples for you to practice. Begin and end each day with a “Thank you for this wonderful day!” When you see the rise of gas prices, say “I am so glad to have a car in which to get around.” When your boss is too hard on you, say “I am grateful for my job as I know that many don’t have one.” If you are having health problems, be grateful for what does work: “I really do appreciate it that my eyes see, my ears hear, my mouth tastes, my legs walk. my arms lift and my mind thinks and everything else works.” Write down whatever you’re grateful for each day. In moments when you’re feeling really down, read aloud what you wrote. This will certainly help uplift your spirits. If you practice this regularly, you will find your list getting longer and longer. The key is to move yourself into a positive thought and keep it there long enough to make it a moment of appreciation. The more you appreciate, the happier you’ll be. Happiness begins from appreciation If you are feeling that life cannot be any worse for you, it can be a challenge for you to think positive. ____11____ it is not easy to think positive, remember that someone, somewhere is worse off than you. ____12____ for you to think positive ◆Beginning with the smallest of step is a good choice. One of the examples is that you can begin and end each day with a “Thank you for this wonderful day!” ◆Write down ____13____ that you are grateful for each day. If you keep practicing regularly, you’ll find ____14____ grateful things. The key is to move yourself into a positive thought and keep it there long enough to make it a moment of appreciation. Changing those negative thoughts to something positive is of great ____15____. 四、阅读信息, 用恰当的单词完成下面的表格, 每空一词。 Over the past billions of years, many animals and plants have lived on this beautiful planet. But about 99.9 percent of them died out. This is because they couldn’t adapt to (适应) where they lived. To survive, living things must change over time. This is called evolution (进化). When reading this article, please remember that every one of us is a lucky dog. We evolve, and we survive! After years of evolution, now we have the abilities to live in the world and enjoy it. Just like humans, other animals on Earth also evolve great abilities. For example, giraffes live on the grassland of Africa. To adapt to life there, they have evolved longer necks to reach the high trees, as well as longer legs to run away from lions and cheetahs (猎豹). However, evolution also gives giraffes a strange habit: They only sleep for about 30 minutes a day and less than 5 minutes a time, and they sleep standing! Why are they so wakeful? Well, that’s because they are so tall. They need longer time getting off the ground and run. Because of this special sleep style, they won’t become easy meals for others. As you see, evolution isn’t always perfect. It helps animals to live, but it sometimes also gives them what they don’t really want. Don’t feel sorry. It’s part of natural selection (选择). In order to survive, all of this is necessary. Facts About Evolution Why evolution happens Humans and other animals on earth need to evolve great abilities to adapt to the ____16____. Take giraffes for ____17____ They have evolved longer necks to ____18____ the high trees, as well as longer legs to run away from dangerous animals.

Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in, to speak and to share. It is important in letting others get to know how we think and feel. In this way we will be understood and accepted by others. If we aren’t open with others, we won’t fully believe in ourselves or others. Here are a few ways for you to be more open. First, make your outside behavior the same with your inside feelings and thoughts. Second, share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions. Third, try to change your questions into statements and talk in the first person so that people will understand you more easily. Finally, try not to say, “I don’t know.” This usually means I don’t want to think about it any more. Remember also that it is not suitable to be open with everyone in every situation. You may want to be more open with close friends, but not with people you don’t know well. Besides, some people may not be used to too much openness. If we say everything we feel or think to them, they will feel very uncomfortable at times. In all, being open is a good way for us to get on well with other people, but we’d better keep the balance between being open and not being too open. Why to be open ●____21____ others to come in, to speak and to share. ● Others will understand and accept us if they get to know our thoughts and feelings. ● Help us to fully believe in ourselves or others. ____22____ to be open ● Make outside behavior the same as your inside feelings and thoughts. ● Try to share your ____23____ feelings. ● Make statements instead of ____24____ and use the first person. ● Avoid saying “I don’t know.” Suggestions ● Don’t be too open with people you don’t know well. ● Too much openness may make some people feel uncomfortable ____25____ 六、阅读信息, 用恰当的单词完成下面的表格, 每空一词。 Over the past billions of years, many animals and plants have lived on this beautiful planet.

You may have played many of them before. Let’s take a look at two of them. Luban LockLuban Lock was first created by Chinese carpenter Lu Ban about 2,000 years ago. It is said that Lu used six wooden pieces to make a toy that looks like a lock for his son. The lock has a lot to do with solid geometry (立体几何). It’s hard to separate the six pieces. However, it is usually easier to unlock a Luban Lock than to put it back together. Now, there are Luban Locks made up of nine or more pieces. Huarong Pass Huarong Pass is a traditional Chinese block-moving puzzle. Every block is named after a character in the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms, like Cao Cao, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.

As the largest rainforest in the world, it plays an important role in keeping the balanced ecosystem (生态系统) on the Earth. With an area of around 6 million square kilometers, the Amazon rainforest is more than half the size of China. This area has a great many species (物种). Actually, one in ten known species in the world can be found here. Of the 390,000 plant species known to us, more than 40,000 can be found in the Amazon. There are different levels in the forest. At the bottom is a system of roots under the ground. Above that is leaf litter on the dark forest floor. The next level is made up of shorter plants with large leaves. Then there are the towering ancient hardwoods, and finally the tops of the trees which are taller than any other level of trees in the forest. Each level of the forest forms its own little world, home to different kinds of living things. More than 1,300 species of birds and over 400 species of mammals (哺乳动物) hide among the forest’s plant life. This jaguar is one example. While a large number of jaguars survive here, they are only one part of this forest's food chain (食物链). They feed on at least 87 species, including frogs. These frogs, in turn, feed on insects which eat leaves and fruit. The Amazon rainforest is a treasure house of species that can be used for food or medicine. What’s more, the Amazon rainforest breathes life into the planet by producing over 20 percent of all the Earth’s oxygen (O2). So it is often known as the “lungs of the planet”.

However, China’s prepared food industry has a late start and has gone through a three-stage development process. In Stage 1, which began around 2000, prepared food mainly appeared in some restaurants to meet the needs of busy city life and changing dietary patterns. Over time, it could be found everywhere and entered people’s daily lives. Stage 2, known as the standstill period, lasted until 2013. During this period, the prepared food industry in China went through slow growth because the food processing technology did not have any great improvements. Stage 3, marked a period of rapid growth that started in 2014 with the development of the take-out industry, which furthered the development of prepared food. Prepared food has become a convenient solution to the fast-paced nature of modern life, where many people have no time and cooking skills to prepare meals. Changes in people’s lifestyles have further sped up this direction. The rise of the take-out industry has created a fast increase in the need for convenience food, driving the growth of the prepared food market. While the rapid growth of the precooked food market in China has provided convenient choices for busy lifestyles, offering different kinds of food from frozen ready-to-eat meals to canned products, worries still stay regarding the nutritional (营养的) quality of precooked food, health standards, and the environmental influence of packing materials, especially when it comes to introducing prepared food into schools. Achieving a balance among these considerations, while keeping the convenience, taste, and safety of the food, is important for the future of the precooked food industry. 21 of China’s prepared food industry Para.1 Introduce the topic The history of prepared foods started a long time ago. But in China, prepared food 22 and has developed in three main stages. Para.2 Stage 1: Around 2000 Prepared food was offered in restaurants to suit the busy lives and new eating habits of city people. Later, it became a common part of daily life. Para.3 Stage 2:                 The standstill period Stage 2 lasted until 2013. China’s prepared food industry 23 because there was no great development in food processing technology. Para.4 Stage 3: The period of rapid growth 24 of the rapid growth: ·The development of the take-out industry caused big growth in prepared food. ·People don’t have time or cooking skills. ·Changes of lifestyle have made it even more usual. ·People’s need for convenience food. Para.5 Conclusion It’s important to find a good balance among the nutritional quality, health standards and the environmental influence, and keep the convenience, taste, and safety.

I can do nothing but to break it up and put it back in the box”，可知作者由于拼图占据太大空间而又拆掉它。too much后加不可数名词，“空间”用space。 10．根据“It’s all about the journey and the destination (终点) is not very important.”，可知过程比结果更重要，空处缺少动词且意为“重要”用matter，主语“the journey”为名词单数，谓语动词用单三matters。故填matters。 三、阅读信息, 用恰当的单词完成下面的表格, 每空一词。 If you are feeling that life cannot be any worse for you, it can be challenging to think positive (积极). When stressed, depressed, upset or otherwise in a negative state of mind because you are aware that misfortune (不幸) keeps happening. It is important to change those negative thoughts to something positive. If not, you will only attract more misfortune. It is often very hard to think positive when so many things are negative, but be sure that someone, somewhere is worse off than you. You can choose to think differently by beginning with the smallest of steps. If you start one small, positive thing and appreciate (感激) it during the course of your day, you will begin to move into a more positive situation and people will start showing up in your life. With appreciation, you will find that over time, you will change your outlook and choose to be happy, regardless of the events around you. Here are a few common examples for you to practice. Begin and end each day with a “Thank you for this wonderful day!” When you see the rise of gas prices, say “I am so glad to have a car in which to get around.” When your boss is too hard on you, say “I am grateful for my job as I know that many don’t have one.” If you are having health problems, be grateful for what does work: “I really do appreciate it that my eyes see, my ears hear, my mouth tastes, my legs walk. my arms lift and my mind thinks and everything else works.” Write down whatever you’re grateful for each day. In moments when you’re feeling really down, read aloud what you wrote. This will certainly help uplift your spirits. If you practice this regularly, you will find your list getting longer and longer. The key is to move yourself into a positive thought and keep it there long enough to make it a moment of appreciation. The more you appreciate, the happier you’ll be. Happiness begins from appreciation If you are feeling that life cannot be any worse for you, it can be a challenge for you to think positive. ____11____ it is not easy to think positive, remember that someone, somewhere is worse off than you. ____12____ for you to think positive ◆Beginning with the smallest of step is a good choice. One of the examples is that you can begin and end each day with a “Thank you for this wonderful day!” ◆Write down ____13____ that you are grateful for each day. If you keep practicing regularly, you’ll find ____14____ grateful things. The key is to move yourself into a positive thought and keep it there long enough to make it a moment of appreciation.

But about 99.9 percent of them died out. This is because they couldn’t adapt to (适应) where they lived. To survive, living things must change over time. This is called evolution (进化). When reading this article, please remember that every one of us is a lucky dog. We evolve, and we survive! After years of evolution, now we have the abilities to live in the world and enjoy it. Just like humans, other animals on Earth also evolve great abilities. For example, giraffes live on the grassland of Africa. To adapt to life there, they have evolved longer necks to reach the high trees, as well as longer legs to run away from lions and cheetahs (猎豹). However, evolution also gives giraffes a strange habit: They only sleep for about 30 minutes a day and less than 5 minutes a time, and they sleep standing! Why are they so wakeful? Well, that’s because they are so tall. They need longer time getting off the ground and run. Because of this special sleep style, they won’t become easy meals for others. As you see, evolution isn’t always perfect. It helps animals to live, but it sometimes also gives them what they don’t really want. Don’t feel sorry. It’s part of natural selection (选择). In order to survive, all of this is necessary. Facts About Evolution Why evolution happens Humans and other animals on earth need to evolve great abilities to adapt to the ____16____. Take giraffes for ____17____ They have evolved longer necks to ____18____ the high trees, as well as longer legs to run away from dangerous animals. They only sleep for a very short time and they sleep standing, or they will be eaten by others ____19____. Whether evolution is perfect Evolution isn’t always perfect. On the one hand, it helps animals to live. On the other hand, it sometimes can not just ____20____ their needs. 16．environment    17．example    18．reach    19．easily    20．satisfy 【导语】本文主要介绍了进化，进化不总是完美的。它有助于动物生存，但是有时也会给它们不想要的东西。 16．根据“This is because they couldn’t adapt to (适应) where they lived. To survive, living things must change over time. This is called evolution (进化).”可知，人类和地球上的其他动物需要进化出强大的能力来适应环境。故填environment。 17．根据“For example, giraffes live on the grassland of Africa.”可知，这里是拿长颈鹿作为例子，take…for example表示“拿……作为例子”。故填example。 18．根据“To adapt to life there, they have evolved longer necks to reach the high trees”可知，它们进化出了更长的脖子以够到高大的树木。故填reach。 19．根据“They only sleep for about 30 minutes a day and less than 5 minutes a time, and they sleep standing! Why are they so wakeful? Well, that’s because they are so tall. They need longer time getting off the ground and run. Because of this special sleep style, they won’t become easy meals for others.”可知，它们只睡很短的时间，站着睡觉，否则很容易被别的动物吃掉。副词“easily”修饰动词“eat”。故填easily。 20．根据“As you see, evolution isn’t always perfect. It helps animals to live, but it sometimes also gives them what they don’t really want.”可知进化并不总是完美的。它有助于动物生存，但有时也会给它们真正不想要的东西，也就是不能满足它们的需求，satisfy意为“满足”，can后跟动词原形。故填satisfy。 五、阅读信息, 用恰当的单词完成下面的表格, 每空一词。 What do we really mean by being open? Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in, to speak and to share. It is important in letting others get to know how we think and feel. In this way we will be understood and accepted by others. If we aren’t open with others, we won’t fully believe in ourselves or others. Here are a few ways for you to be more open. First, make your outside behavior the same with your inside feelings and thoughts. Second, share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions. Third, try to change your questions into statements and talk in the first person so that people will understand you more easily. Finally, try not to say, “I don’t know.” This usually means I don’t want to think about it any more. Remember also that it is not suitable to be open with everyone in every situation. You may want to be more open with close friends, but not with people you don’t know well. Besides, some people may not be used to too much openness. If we say everything we feel or think to them, they will feel very uncomfortable at times. In all, being open is a good way for us to get on well with other people, but we’d better keep the balance between being open and not being too open. Why to be open ●____21____ others to come in, to speak and to share. ● Others will understand and accept us if they get to know our thoughts and feelings. ● Help us to fully believe in ourselves or others. ____22____ to be open ● Make outside behavior the same as your inside feelings and thoughts. ● Try to share your ____23____ feelings. ● Make statements instead of ____24____ and use the first person. ● Avoid saying “I don’t know.” Suggestions ● Don’t be too open with people you don’t know well. ● Too much openness may make some people feel uncomfortable ____25____ 【答案】21．Invite    22．Ways##How    23．real    24．questions    25．sometimes 【导语】本文主要讲述了变得更开放的方法。 21．根据“Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in, to speak and to share.”可知，开放是一种邀请别人进来、说话和分享的方式。让别人知道我们的想法和感受是很重要的。invite to do sth“邀请某人做某事”，结合“Help us...”，此处用祈使句。故填Invite。 22．根据“Here are a few ways for you to be more open.”可知，讲述了如何更加开放或者更加开放的方法，故填Ways/How。 23．根据“Second, share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions.”可知，分享你对某事的真实感受，real“真正的”符合句意。故填real。 24．根据“Third, try to change your questions into statements and talk in the first person so that people will understand you more easily.”可知，第三，试着把你的问题变成陈述，用第一人称说话，故填questions。 25．根据“If we say everything we feel or think to them, they will feel very uncomfortable at times.”可知，如果我们把我们的感受和想法都告诉他们，他们有时会感到很不舒服。at times=sometimes“有时”，故填sometimes。 六、阅读信息, 用恰当的单词完成下面的表格, 每空一词。 Over the past billions of years, many animals and plants have lived on this beautiful planet.

As the largest rainforest in the world, it plays an important role in keeping the balanced ecosystem (生态系统) on the Earth. With an area of around 6 million square kilometers, the Amazon rainforest is more than half the size of China. This area has a great many species (物种). Actually, one in ten known species in the world can be found here. Of the 390,000 plant species known to us, more than 40,000 can be found in the Amazon. There are different levels in the forest. At the bottom is a system of roots under the ground. Above that is leaf litter on the dark forest floor. The next level is made up of shorter plants with large leaves. Then there are the towering ancient hardwoods, and finally the tops of the trees which are taller than any other level of trees in the forest. Each level of the forest forms its own little world, home to different kinds of living things. More than 1,300 species of birds and over 400 species of mammals (哺乳动物) hide among the forest’s plant life. This jaguar is one example. While a large number of jaguars survive here, they are only one part of this forest's food chain (食物链). They feed on at least 87 species, including frogs. These frogs, in turn, feed on insects which eat leaves and fruit. The Amazon rainforest is a treasure house of species that can be used for food or medicine. What’s more, the Amazon rainforest breathes life into the planet by producing over 20 percent of all the Earth’s oxygen (O2). So it is often known as the “lungs of the planet”.

However, China’s prepared food industry has a late start and has gone through a three-stage development process. In Stage 1, which began around 2000, prepared food mainly appeared in some restaurants to meet the needs of busy city life and changing dietary patterns. Over time, it could be found everywhere and entered people’s daily lives. Stage 2, known as the standstill period, lasted until 2013. During this period, the prepared food industry in China went through slow growth because the food processing technology did not have any great improvements. Stage 3, marked a period of rapid growth that started in 2014 with the development of the take-out industry, which furthered the development of prepared food. Prepared food has become a convenient solution to the fast-paced nature of modern life, where many people have no time and cooking skills to prepare meals. Changes in people’s lifestyles have further sped up this direction. The rise of the take-out industry has created a fast increase in the need for convenience food, driving the growth of the prepared food market. While the rapid growth of the precooked food market in China has provided convenient choices for busy lifestyles, offering different kinds of food from frozen ready-to-eat meals to canned products, worries still stay regarding the nutritional (营养的) quality of precooked food, health standards, and the environmental influence of packing materials, especially when it comes to introducing prepared food into schools. Achieving a balance among these considerations, while keeping the convenience, taste, and safety of the food, is important for the future of the precooked food industry. 21 of China’s prepared food industry Para.1 Introduce the topic The history of prepared foods started a long time ago. But in China, prepared food 22 and has developed in three main stages. Para.2 Stage 1: Around 2000 Prepared food was offered in restaurants to suit the busy lives and new eating habits of city people. Later, it became a common part of daily life. Para.3 Stage 2:                 The standstill period Stage 2 lasted until 2013. China’s prepared food industry 23 because there was no great development in food processing technology. Para.4 Stage 3: The period of rapid growth 24 of the rapid growth: ·The development of the take-out industry caused big growth in prepared food. ·People don’t have time or cooking skills. ·Changes of lifestyle have made it even more usual. ·People’s need for convenience food.
