Passage Two
A
review
of
more
than
160
studies
of
human
subjects
has
found
“
clear
and
compelling
evidence
”
that---all
else
being
equal
---happy
people
tend
to
live
longer
and
experience
better
health than their unhappy peers.
The
study
is
the
most
comprehensive
review
so
far
of
the
evidence
linking
happiness
to
health.
Its
lead
author
ED
Diener
analyzed
long-term
studies
of
human
subjects,
experimental
human trials, and studies that evaluate
the health status of people stressed by natural
events.
“
We
reviewed
eight
different
types
of
studies,
”
Diener
said.
“
And
the
general
conclusion
from each type of study is that your
subjective well-being---that is, feeling positive
about your life,
not
stressed
out,
not
depressed---contributes
to
both
long
life
and
better
health
among
healthy
populations.
”
A study that followed nearly 5,000
university students for more than 40 years, for
example,
found that those who were most
pessimistic as students tended to die younger than
their peers. An
even
longer-
term
study
that
followed
180 Catholic
nuns
from
early
adulthood
to
old
age
found
that
those who wrote positive accounts of their lives
in their early 20s tended to live longer than
those who wrote more negative ones.
There were a few exceptions, but most
of long-term studies the researchers reviewed
found
that anxiety, depression, a lack
of enjoyment of daily activities and pessimism are
all associated
with higher rates of
disease and a shorter life.
While happiness might not by itself
prevent or cure disease, posive emotions and
enjoyment
of life do contribute to
better health and a longer life, Diener said.
“
Happiness
is
no
magic
bullet,
”
he
said.
“
But
the
evidence
is
clear
and
compelling
that
it
changes
your chances of getting disease or dying
young.
”
4
21.
The word
“
compelling
”
(Paragraph 1) means
“
_______
”
.
A. direct
B. convincing
C.
adequate
D. conclusive
22.
According to Paragraph 2, Ed Diener
.
A. studied the health
conditions of the subjects
B. conducted experimental human trials
C.
made long-term studies of human subjects
D. review other
researchers
’
studies
23.
According to the studies
on university students and Catholic nuns, who are
more likely to live
longer?
A. Well-
educated people.
B. Optimistic people.
C.
Open-minded people.
D. Religious people.
24.
What is NOT mentioned as
relevant to a shorter life?
A. Depression
and anxiety.
B. Lack of enjoyment.
C. Constant
lack of sleep.
D. Stress and pessimism.
25.
By
saying
that
“
Happiness
is
no
magic
bullet
”
(Paragraph
7),
Diener
means
that
happiness
.
A.
is not ever lasting
B. is not easy to obtain
C. is not a
good treatment of diseases
D.
is not a guarantee of health and long life
Passage Three
Cold weather has a great effect on how
our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why
there are so many expressions that use
the word
“
cold
”
. For centuries the
body
’
s blood has been
linked closely with emotions. People
who show no human emotions or feelings, for
example, are
said to be cold blooded.
Cold-blooded
people
act
in
cruel
ways.
They
may
do
brutal
things
to
others
and
not
by
accident.
For example, a newspaper says the police are
searching for a cold-blooded killer. The
killer
murdered
someone
not
in
self-defense
or
because
he
was
reacting
to
anger
or
fear.
He
seemed to kill for no reason and with
no emotion as if taking
someone
’
s life meant
nothing.
Cold can affect
other parts of the body, the feet, for example.
Heavy socks can warm your
feet if your
feet are really cold. But there is an expression
“
to get cold
feet
”
that has nothing to do
with cold or your feet. The expression
means being afraid to do something you have
decided to do.
For example, you agreed
to be president of an organization, but then you
learned that all the other
officers
have resigned. All the work of the organization
will be your responsibility. You are likely
to get cold feet about being president
when you understand the situation.
A
cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is
a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and
shows no love or warmth. A cold fish
does not offer much of himself to anyone else.
Someone
who
is
a
cold
fish
does
not
offer
much
of
himself
to
anyone
else.
Someone
who
is
a
cold
fish
could
be
cold
hearted.
Now
a
cold-hearted
person
is
someone
who
has
no
sympathy.
Several
5
popular songs in recent
years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted
women who without
feeling broke the
hearts of their lovers.
“
Out
in the cold
”
means not
getting something that everybody else has got. A
person might
say that everybody but him
got a pay raise that he was left out in the cold
and it is not a pleasant
place to be
in.
26.
The
focus of the passage is
.
A. the meanings
of expressions with
“
cold
”
B. the
influence of cold weather on our mind and body
C.
why people are unhappy with cold weather
D. how some
people become cold blooded
27.
A cold-blooded killer may take the life
of another person
.
A. by accident
B. for no reason
C. out of fear
D. in self-
defense
28.
If a person
“
gets cold
feet
”
, he or she may feel a
little
.
A. angry
B. puzzled
C.
disappointed
D. frightened
29.
A cold fish is a person who _______.
A.
is indifferent to others
’
sufferings
B. tends to turn down
others
’
help
C.
remains cool in emergency
D. prefers to
stay all alone
30.
Which of
the following expressions may mean
“
unlucky
”
?
A. Cold face.
B. Cold feet.
C. Cold heart.
D. Out in the cold.
Passage Four
The
New
York
Times
has
reported
on
a
problem
that
many
of
us
have
but
are
not
aware
of
—
Internet
addiction.
According
to
reporter
Tara
Parker-Pope,
millions
of
us
are
addicted
to
being
online. She says this is a growing problem that is
making us more forgetful and impatient.
Ms Parker-Pope writes about various
reports highlighting how technology is changing
people. In
one,
she
quotes
cyber-psychologist
Dr.
Elias
Aboujaode
who
says:
“
More
and
more,
life
is
resembling
the
chat
room
.”
He
said
we
are
living
in
“
virtual
lifestyles
”
,
which
is
negatively
affecting
our
real-life
relationships.
Nicki
Dowling,
a
clinical
psychologist
from
Melbourne
University in Australia, concluded in a
recent study that ten per cent of young people had
what she
called
“
Internet
dependence
”
.
Tara Parker-Pope quizzed experts in
this field on what the signs of being overly
absorbed in
technol
ogy are.
She came up with seven signs of “
tech
overload
”. The first is whether you
check
your e-mail before doing other
things. Another sign is if
you always
look forward to your next
online visit
—
a sure sign of dependence
and addiction. The third point
is if
you say, “just a few
more
minutes”
when
someone
wants
you.
Parker
-
Pope
found
one’s
communication
with
others
also says a lot about
how important the Internet is compared with family
and friends; do you lie
about how much
time you spend online or choose to surf the
Internet instead of going out with
6
others?
Other
indicators
include
the
“
online
lift
”
that
stops
you
being
unhappy,
and
others
’
complaints about you always being
online.
31.

can be the title of this passage?

Aboujaode think of the virtual lifestyles that we
