22、 On January 12,a few days after registration for the course of Psychology and the Good Life,roughly 300 people had signed up. Within three days,the figure had more than doubled. After three more days, about 1,200 students,or nearly one-fourth of Yale undergraduates,were enrolled.
The course,taught by Laurie Santos,42,a psychology professor and the head of one of Yale's residential colleges,tries to teach students how to lead a happier,more satisfying life in twice-weekly lectures.
"Students want to change,to be happier themselves,and to change the culture here on campus," Dr,Santos said in an interview. "With one in four students at Yale taking it,if we see good habits, things like students showing more gratitude,delaying less,increasing social connections,we're actually seeing change in the school's culture. "
Dr. Santos discovered that Yale students are interested in the class because,in high school,they had to give up their happiness to gain admission to the school,adopting harmful life habits that have led to what she called"the mental health crises we're seeing at places like Yale. "A 2013 report by the Yale College Council found that more than half of undergraduates sought mental health care from the university during their time there.
"In reality,a lot of us are anxious,stressed and unhappy,"said Alannah Maynez,19,a freshman taking the course. "The fact that a class like this has such large interest speaks to how much students numb their emotions-both positive and negative-so they can only focus on their work,the next step and the next accomplishment. "
Students have long requested that Yale offer a course on positive psychology,according to Woo-Ky-oung Ahn,director of undergraduate studies in psychology,who said she was"blown away"by Dr. Santos' s proposal for the class.
Administrators like Fr. Ahn expected significant enrollment for the class,but none anticipated it being quite so large. Psychology and the Good Life,with 1,182 undergraduates currently enrolled,stands as the most popular course in Yale's 316-year history. The previous record-holder-Psychology and the Law-was offered in 1992 and had about 1,050 students,according to Marvin Chun,the Yale College dean. Most large lectures at Yale don't exceed 600.
【1】What is the purpose of the course?
A.To make students learn to show thanks.
B.To change the culture of the campus.
C.To increase students 'social connections.
D.To teach students how to become happier.
【2】What does the underlined word"numb"in the fifth paragraph mean?
A.Unable to express.
B.Managing to let out.
C.Willing to share.
D.Failing to control.
【3】What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?
A.Students are interested in the course.
B.Students suffered from mental problems before.
C.Students have changed greatly after the course.
D.Students pay much attention to their performances.
【4】What's the text mainly about?
A.Mental problems of undergraduates.
B.A famous professor-Laurie Santos.
C.Yale's most popular course in history.
D.How to teach college students to be happy.
23、Emotional intelligence, sometimes referred to as EQ, refers to a person’s ability to recognize, understand, manage and reason with emotions. 【1】 And it is a hot topic not only in psychology but also in the business world. If you want to succeed in the workplace and move up the career ladder, emotional intelligence is critical to your success.
【2】 According to one survey of hiring managers, almost 75 percent of respondents suggested that they valued an employee’s EQ more than their IQ. Emotional intelligence is widely recognized as a valuable skill that helps improve communication, management, problem-solving, and relationships within the workplace. 【3】
So if you are interested in improving your emotional intelligence skills to benefit your workplace performance, there are a few things you can do.
One of the first steps toward using emotional intelligence skills in the workplace is to practice recognizing your own emotions. Self-awareness involves being aware of different aspects of yourself, including your emotions and feelings. It is one of the fundamental parts of emotional intelligence.
【4】 Being aware of your emotions is an important first step, but you also need to be able to manage the things you are feeling. People who possess good self-regulation are able to adapt well to changing situations.
Research on emotion psychology also suggests that people with high EQs also have strong social skills. 【5】 As a result, they are able to respond appropriately to the situation.
Emotional intelligence plays an important role not only in well-being but also in your success in the workplace. Fortunately, there are a number of lessons you can take from emotion psychology to improve your EQ.
A.Having hobbies outside of work is a great place to start.
B.Self-regulation is also a critical part of emotional intelligence.
C.In the past, emotion and intelligence were often thought of as opposites.
D.So why is emotional intelligence such a valued workplace skill?
E.It is a critical ability when it comes to inter-personal communication.
F.This is because they are good at recognizing other people’s emotions.
G.It is also a skill that researchers believe can be improved with training and practice.
24、There is a saying about the south-western Chinese province of Guizhou: “Not three feet of flat land, not three days without rain, not a family with three silver coins.” But,with the help of a spicy sauce, Tao Huabi, also known as “China’s hottest woman”, has well and truly opposed this rule.
Born in 1947, the eighth daughter of a poor family in a village of mountainous Guizhou, Tao did not go to school and did not learn to read or write. She spent her childhood hungry,and survived the Great Chinese Famine by eating plant roots,according to a biography on Weibo. When her husband died, she moved to the city of Guiyang and started selling noodles with a sauce that she made herself, She eventually opened the charmingly named Economical Restaurant in the 1990s. When a new highway brought truck drivers to Guiyang, she gave them free jars of the sauce and they spread the word.In 1996, she set a factory up in a house in Guiyang, and a year later Lao Gan Ma Special Flavour Foodstuffs Company was born.
Miranda Brown, professor of Chinese studies at the University of Michigan, who is writing a book on the history of Chinese food, says that in China, Lao Gan Ma’s popularity is mainly because her products are natural. Chinese consumers tend to want foods that perfectly mix regional flavors and use ingredients grown from the soil of those regions. And today Lao Gan Ma is also increasingly popular overseas, especially in the US.
According to its website, the company produces 1.3 million bottles daily, helping the historically poor Guizhou achieve 10. 5% growth—the second fastest of every Chinese province that year, and ahead of the national rate of 6.7%.
As for the godmother herself, an article in Yicai Global describes her as the Queen of a “red kingdom” of chili fields.
【1】Why is the saying mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.To introduce the topic of the passage.

D.To describe the present Guizhou.
【2】What does the second paragraph focus on?
A.Tao’s growth process.
B.Tao’s living conditions.
C.The hardships faced by Tao.
D.The development of the company.
【3】According to Miranda Brown, what is the reason for Lao Gan Ma’s popularity?
A.Low price.
B.Spicy taste.
C.Local ingredients.
D.Positive comments.
【4】What can we learn from Tao’s story?

26、阅读下面的短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day - to - day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the things he asks his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they often see what they really value in life.
He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.
Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.
Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self - made man?
Answer: The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I don't know much. All I am is rich.
People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.
