That night at dinner, my sister asked, “What time is it?” “Ask Tom,” my mother said. “He has a new watch.” Dad looked at me and said, “Don’t tell me that you’ve lost the watch already!” “No!” I said. I was sweating (出汗) with great fear. I knew I was going to be caught in a terrible lie. Just then, there was an announcement, “Ladies and gentlemen, a very nice watch was found on the beach today. If you lost one and can identify (确认) it, please come to the front desk.”At once, I knew what I had to do. I slowly got up, with my whole family staring at me. I went to the desk. There it was.

However, scientists have recently begun to study the effect of the kindness on the person giving it. What they have found is that doing good is good for the doer (行为者). Acts of kindness can improve health, help a person reach goals and even add years to a person’s life. The first study to show the connection between doing good and living along life was a study on aging (衰老). Beginning in 1956, scientists studied a group of married mothers for 30 years. They found that what did matter was whether they volunteered. Women that volunteered had fewer diseases during their life. Many other studies have found the same positive (积极的) effects. Helping other people improves long-term health. Those who volunteered had fewer serious diseases than those who did not volunteer. This included diseases such as heart attack, cancer and stroke. Scientists are researching many possible causes. One possible cause is an increase in antibodies (抗体), which help fight against disease. One study showed the body produces more antibodies after an act of kindness. This increase in antibodies (抗体) can last nearly an hour after one act of kindness is finished. Another one is an increase in a chemical that fights the effects of stress from life. Scientists have found a link between being kind to people and an increase in the chemical oxytocin (催生素). Oxytocin is a chemical produced in the brain. It reduces many of the harmful chemicals the body produces under stress. 33. What did the study in Paragraph 2 show? A Diseases age people fast. B. Doing good is good for one’s health. C. Women with more kids die earlier. D. A long marriage leads to a long life. 34. What can we infer about antibodies from Paragraph 4? A. More antibodies may not be good. B. They help people reduce pressure. C. They increase with one’s kind acts. D. The more antibodies, the more oxytocin. 35. How does the author develop the last two paragraphs? A. By explaining the causes. B. By making comparisons. C. By introducing a method. D. By describing a chemical. 36. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Everyone needs to be cared for. B. Happiness is connected with kindness. C. Try your best to help someone in need. D. Helping others means helping yourself. 【答案】33. B 34. C 35. A 36. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了做好事对行为者本人是有益处的，分析了善举和长寿之间的联系及其可能的原因。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Women that volunteered had fewer diseases during their life.”可知，志愿服务的妇女一生中患的疾病较少。由此可见，行善有益健康。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“One study showed the body produces more antibodies after an act of kindness. This increase in antibodies (抗体) can last nearly an hour after one act of kindness is finished.”可知，抗体会随着一个人的行善而增加。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Scientists are researching many possible causes.

Last summer, I was on vacation with my family at the beach. On the first day, my father gave me a watch. “You need to have a watch, so take good care of it,” he said. The next day, I went swimming. The sun was shining on the water. The water was warm and beautiful. I really enjoyed being in the water. When I returned to beach, I was quite tired so I lay down. At that moment, I wanted to see what time it was. But the watch was gone! I looked for it all afternoon, but I could not find it. That night at dinner, my sister asked, “What time is it?” “Ask Tom,” my mother said. “He has a new watch.” Dad looked at me and said, “Don’t tell me that you’ve lost the watch already!” “No!” I said. I was sweating (出汗) with great fear. I knew I was going to be caught in a terrible lie. Just then, there was an announcement, “Ladies and gentlemen, a very nice watch was found on the beach today. If you lost one and can identify (确认) it, please come to the front desk.”At once, I knew what I had to do. I slowly got up, with my whole family staring at me. I went to the desk. There it was. The watch was not broken. It was still working. I walked back to the table, sat down and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry I didn’t tell the truth.” My family smiled. They knew that I had finally learned my lesson. 29. Tom’s father gave him a new watch because Tom ________. A needed one B. was on vacation C. disliked his old one D. behaved well at school 30.

However, scientists have recently begun to study the effect of the kindness on the person giving it. What they have found is that doing good is good for the doer (行为者). Acts of kindness can improve health, help a person reach goals and even add years to a person’s life. The first study to show the connection between doing good and living along life was a study on aging (衰老). Beginning in 1956, scientists studied a group of married mothers for 30 years. They found that what did matter was whether they volunteered. Women that volunteered had fewer diseases during their life. Many other studies have found the same positive (积极的) effects. Helping other people improves long-term health. Those who volunteered had fewer serious diseases than those who did not volunteer. This included diseases such as heart attack, cancer and stroke. Scientists are researching many possible causes. One possible cause is an increase in antibodies (抗体), which help fight against disease. One study showed the body produces more antibodies after an act of kindness. This increase in antibodies (抗体) can last nearly an hour after one act of kindness is finished. Another one is an increase in a chemical that fights the effects of stress from life. Scientists have found a link between being kind to people and an increase in the chemical oxytocin (催生素). Oxytocin is a chemical produced in the brain. It reduces many of the harmful chemicals the body produces under stress. 33. What did the study in Paragraph 2 show? A. Diseases age people fast. B. Doing good is good for one’s health. C. Women with more kids die earlier. D. A long marriage leads to a long life. 34. What can we infer about antibodies from Paragraph 4? A. More antibodies may not be good. B. They help people reduce pressure. C. They increase with one’s kind acts. D. The more antibodies, the more oxytocin. 35. How does the author develop the last two paragraphs? A. By explaining the causes. B. By making comparisons. C. By introducing a method. D. By describing a chemical. 36. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Everyone needs to be cared for. B. Happiness is connected with kindness. C. Try your best to help someone in need. D. Helping others means helping yourself. (D) In some provinces in China, there is a tradition of taking afternoon naps, which means that people take a short rest in the middle of the day. During the nap time, life around the whole area seems to slow down. You can see people of all ages, men or women, taking their naps. To them, it’s a peaceful and quiet time when the busy streets become still. Taking an afternoon nap is a tradition that has been around for a long time in China. It has been passed down from generation (一代) to generation. Parents teach their children the importance of rest and encourage them to do it. Through naps, they hope the young ones can learn to take care of themselves and enjoy a quick break from a busy day. Actually, the tradition of afternoon naps is believed to have many benefits. It helps people feel refreshed for the rest of the day. It also gives their bodies and minds a chance to relax and recover from all the activities in the morning. Some people even say it makes them think better and get more creative! Recently, more and more people in other countries have heard of the tradition of afternoon naps in China. They agree that taking afternoon naps is a good tradition and that they are green with envy (嫉妒). So, if you ever visit China, don’t be surprised if you see people taking naps in the early afternoon. It’s a great tradition that brings relaxation and good health to the people. And when you feel tired during the day, try finding somewhere comfortable and taking a good afternoon nap. Who knows, a little shut-eye might go a long way in making you feel great and your day even better! 37 What’s the meaning of the underlined word “nap”? A. Tea. B. Break. C. Meal. D. Sport. 38.
