Well, what if it could? Not by making it or spending it, but by giving it away. In an experiment in Switzerland, researchers gave each of the 50 volunteers 20 yuan every week for four weeks and asked half of the volunteers to spend the money on themselves and write down how they spent the money. But researchers asked the other half to spend the money on another person. After that, all 50 volunteers did the same task in a laboratory. They needed to think of a person who they would like to give money to. Then they had to decide how much money, from 3 yuan to 20 yuan, researchers studied their brain activity using an MRI machine. The results showed two things. First, the 25 volunteers who gave their money to others during the four weeks were more generous (慷慨的) and chose to give more money to others in the laboratory task. Second, the volunteers must give money away. But would you like to do this in your daily life? Can you really make yourself happy by giving? The answer is yes, but remember to start small. You can start by giving £1 to a homeless person. Little by little, you can try to change your habits so you save money to give away. For example, stop buying something that you don’t really need. Then you can save some money and give it to people in need. Learning to give away money is all about changing the way you behave. It’s about living with less money and being more generous.

With the help of Xinhua Dictionary illiterate people to understand, the first copies (版本) had many pictures. Thanks to Xinhua Dictionary, many Chinese got new chances in their life. Mo Yan, the 69-year-old Nobel Laureate, and that helped him write novels and enter a college later. This important dictionary has also recorded the development of the language and society. It is revised (修订) every five to ten years. Recent copies have included many new ideas which come from how these characters are used in the real life now.

Which part of a magazine is the passage probably taken from? A. Nature. B. People. C. Culture. D. Business. Money can’t buy you happiness? Well, what if it could? Not by making it or spending it, but by giving it away. In an experiment in Switzerland, researchers gave each of the 50 volunteers 20 yuan every week for four weeks and asked half of the volunteers to spend the money on themselves and write down how they spent the money. But researchers asked the other half to spend the money on another person. After that, all 50 volunteers did the same task in a laboratory. They needed to think of a person who they would like to give money to. Then they had to decide how much money, from 3 yuan to 20 yuan, researchers studied their brain activity using an MRI machine. The results showed two things. First, the 25 volunteers who gave their money to others during the four weeks were more generous (慷慨的) and chose to give more money to others in the laboratory task. Second, the volunteers must give money away. But would you like to do this in your daily life? Can you really make yourself happy by giving? The answer is yes, but remember to start small. You can start by giving £1 to a homeless person. Little by little, you can try to change your habits so you save money to give away. For example, stop buying something that you don’t really need. Then you can save some money and give it to people in need. Learning to give away money is all about changing the way you behave. It’s about living with less money and being more generous. And this will make you happy. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案 26. How does the writer start the text? A. By telling a story. B. By asking questions. C. By describing a scene. D. By giving examples. 27.

What do you know about bamboo? Let’s read the poem Bamboo in the Rock by Chinese poet Zheng Xie. 竹石 （郑燮） 咬定青山不放松， 立根原在破岩中。 千磨万击还坚劲， 任尔东西南北风。 Bamboo in the Rock （By Zheng Xie） Upright stands the bamboo amid green mountains steep, Its tooth like root in broken rock is planted deep. It’s strong and firm though struck and beaten without rest, Careless of the wind from north or south east or west. （Translated by Xu Yuanchong） “Bamboo in the Rock,” is a Chinese poem by a man named Zheng Xie, often called Zheng Banqiao. He was born in 1693. Besides being a great artist and poet, Zheng was also a government worker during a time in China called the Qing Dynasty. He didn’t like the unfair things he saw happening in the government, so he started making art and writing poems about things like bamboo, which were easy to understand but had deep meanings. His poem paints a picture of bamboo growing strong even though it’s in a tough spot (地方), squeezed (挤压) within rocks on a mountain. No matter what difficulties the bamboo faces, it keeps standing up straight. The bamboo is a symbol of strength and determination because it remains firm and doesn’t break under pressure. The poem is full of beautiful words about nature, but it’s also there to teach us something important just like the bamboo, people should stay strong and focused (专注的), we can build our inner strength, just like the strong bamboo. Young people can learn a lot from this poem because it shows them the importance of staying strong and determined, even when things get tough. The poem reminds teenagers that tests and difficulties can help them grow even stronger. It is an inspiring message for them to remain brave during hard times and never give up, just like bamboo standing tall among the challenges. 46.
