The World Happiness Report surveyed 142 countries around the world to find out how common it was for people in a country to share meals and how this influenced their levels of happiness.Here are the 厨 findings. The country where people share the most meals is Senegal in Africa.Local people in Senegal eat with others about 12 times per week.That's almost twice a day.On average,people in Latin America and the Caribbean share about 9 meals with others per week.At the very bottom of the list are Bangladesh and Estonia,where fewer than three meals a week are shared. Even though there are different fiequencies()of shared meals around the world,the advantages appear to be the same everywhere.No matter where they live,people who share meals more often with others report much higher levels of life satisfaction.This is true across all ages and cultures.In fact,people who share even only one meal a week are much happier than those who eat all their meals alone. However,in some places,people's eating habits may be changing.The researchers said that people S in East Asian countries are becoming more and more likely to eat by themselves.The reasons for that are thought to be an increase in single-person households (and aging populations. Anyway,invite a friend or family member to share a meal with you.Your brain and heart will thank you for this delicious "social vitamin".

Skywells were designed to keep houses cool long before air conditioners()were invented.How do they work?When wind blows above a house with a skywell,it can partly get into the indoor space through the opening.Because outdoor air is often cooler than indoor air,including that in the indoor space shaped by the skywell,the entering cooler wind naturally travels down the walls around to the lower floors. It pushes warmer indoor air to rise and then leave through the opening. Though skywell buildings have been there for hundreds of years in China,they have been forgotten by those who prefer modern conveniences.Over the past twenty years,however,they have become popular again,thanks to the public's growing interest in traditional Chinese culture.For example,in Sichuan, a province known for its hot and wet summers,a famous tourist town has many round buildings with skywells.Besides,a modern 68-story office tower in Dongguan,Guangdong Province,uses something similar to a skywell to offer natural airflow (to every floor. Clearly,skywells still matter a lot today.They show that the goal of cooling buildings can be achieved with little energy.The ancient green wisdom can still play a part in modern society. 81.How is a skywell different from a northern Chinese yard? 82.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? 83.Why are the examples of the tourist town and the office tower taken? 84.What value of skywells is mentioned at the end of the reading? 纸 85.Besides saving energy in cooling the house,what other advantage do you think skywell buildings have? 9 九2 四、书面表达（计15分) 假如你是李华，你市某历史博物馆将招募一批志愿者导游，你很感兴趣并报名应征。请根据以下 图示，给博物馆的志愿者招募办公室写一封自荐信。 PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE!
