Jerry is a world-famous mountain climber.He has climbed many high mountains in the
world so far.Starting in 2015,he and his friends spent two years on an adventure (in
South America,covering 7,800 miles.He was even named Adventurer of the Year by a
famous geography magazine in 2018.
Although Jerry achieved great success,he didn't feel fulfilled.He asked himself,"Is it
enough to climb high mountains?Am I doing something helpful?How can I turn my
adventures into something that can help the world?"
Jerry has learned that scientists need plants,rocks and water samples (from the
places far away to do research.But scientists can't get there themselves as such places are
hard to reach-only the bravest adventurers can make it.Jerry thought he could do something
to help.He then came up with an idea.He set up a team of top adventurers to collect samples
for scientists.By studying the samples,scientists could know more about the earth and find
ways to protect it.
Recently,Jerry and his friends have discovered a special plant on Mount Qomolangma.
The samples they have brought back help scientists know how plants live in extreme
conditions.For Jerry,this kind of adventure is most satisfying."Such adventures have
made us see life in a different way.Now,being the best climber isn't important for me.What
matters is doing something helpful while climbing mountains.There is still much more we can
do,"Jerry said to a reporter.
26.What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?
A.Jerry's friends.
B.Jerry's achievements.
C.High mountains.
D.A geography magazine.
27.What does the underlined word "fulfilled"in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Satisfied.
B.Lonely.
C.Patient.
D.Worried.
28.Why did Jerry set up a team of top adventurers?
A.To make friends.
B.To help scientists.
C.To study plants.
D.To train scientists.
29.What did Jerry and his friends'adventures change?
A.Their hobbies.
B.Their friendship.
C.Their understanding of life.
D.Their living conditions.

Imagine that you have woken up on the first day of your vacation.You enjoy a delicious
breakfast,take a walk on the beach,and read the morning newspaper as you drink coffee.
You are feeling happy and relaxed.But you may start to feel bored by the time the late

afternoon comes around!
If you have ever felt like this,you're not alone.It turns out that having unlimited
free time is not always as great as we expected.What is the best amount (of free
time for our happiness?
Researchers tried to answer this question by surveying tens of thousands of people,
collecting data (on how they spent their time and how happy they were.After looking
at the data,the research team found that having less than two hours of free time a day was
not enough to be happy.People with under two hours of free time a day usually had more
stress.It means that they were simply too busy with work to get their happiness.
The fact that being too busy cuts happiness is true.It might lead to the answer that more
free time is simply better.Surprisingly,having a lot of free time is not a panacea(灵丹妙药)
for happiness.People surely get a certain sense of joy from finishing tasks.Having more than
five hours of free time a day makes us lose the sense of joy.It is in fact cutting our happiness.
But I think it is how we spend our free time that matters.When free time is used in more
active ways,like playing a team sport,then five or more hours a day can not only prevent
unhappiness but also create happiness.However,spending five or more hours of free time
alone can stop happiness.
31.What may make people feel bored during the vacation?
A.The morning newspaper.
B.The delicious breakfast.
C.The unlimited free time.
D.The walk on the beach.
32.What is the collected data about?
A.People's feelings.
B.People's jobs.
C.People's ages.
D.People's hobbies.
33.What does the data of the survey show?
A.Working can make people happy.
B.Being too busy makes people stressed.
C.People without jobs are the happiest.
D.People that have over two hours of free time a day must get happiness.
34.Which does the writer think is important for happiness?
A.The longest vacation.
B.An unexpected surprise.
C.A certain sense of joy.
D.Ways of enjoying free time.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.What should our vacation be like?
B.Why do we need more free time?
C.Where can we spend our daily free time?
D.How much free time do we need to be happy?

How to control emotions has always been a difficult problem for people to solve.
When we are angry,we are easy to lose control and say dirty words.As a result,we
may hurt others.Emotion control helps us to deal with things better and feel happier.
Here are some simple ways.Firstly,try to breathe deeply when you feel worried.
Secondly,when you feel angry,try to close your eyes and slowly count to 10.Thirdly,
find a quiet place when you feel crazy and try to write in a diary,draw or dance.
Fourthly,talk to good friends or your parents,and fifthly,do something relaxing,such
as listening to music,reading or playing.
