24、I made a decision on the way down to the vacation beach cottage to meet my family. For two weeks, I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.

The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was reading a Biblical about husbands’ being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to say that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.

And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Mary at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”

“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little confused(困惑). After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Mary suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Mary’s been here with the kid all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.

So it went. Two weeks of not calling the company where I am a manager, and a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that is how the whole vacation passed. I made a new decision to keep on remembering to choose love.

There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Mary and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Mary looked at me with the saddest expression.

“What’s the matter?” I asked her.

“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with sadness, “Do you know something I don’t …”

“What do you mean? ”

“Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I dying?”

It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I couldn’t help laughing.

“No, honey,” I said, holding her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”

【1】In the first paragraph, “No ifs, ands or buts” probably mean ____________.

A. probably   B. completely   C. impossibly   D. unimportantly

【2】From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ____________.

A. alone   B. with his family   C. with Mary   D. with his children

【3】During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because _____.

A. the doctor told him Mary was seriously ill

B. she looked beautiful in her new clothes

C. he made up his mind to be a good husband

D. he made a lot of money as a manager

【4】What made Tom change his mind to be with his family more?

A. His wife’s illness.   B. His vacation to the beach.

C. A talk on his car radio.   D. His achievement from his job.

【5】By saying “I am just starting to live,” Tom means that ____________.

B. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change

C. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life

Apart from (除了) simply following the rules, some people have done amazing things to help fight the outbreak (爆发).

On Feb 3, Zhao Junyan, a Junior 2 student from Shanghai, brought 15，000 masks from Indonesia back to China, People’s Daily reported. Zhao, while traveling in Jakarta, collected the masks with his uncle, who works in the city. The 15-year-old donated (捐赠) all of the masks to Cangnan, Zhejiang, his hometown.

27、Are people less happy or happier when they get older? If your answer is ＂happier＂, then you are right, based on a study published five years ago. It found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.

The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.

Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.

Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies.

The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.

So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.

Title: Relationship between Age and 【1】

Rats are always a【3】 at midnight and are good at biting. It was b【4】 by the ancients that their ability to bite off bad things can end what is not so pleasant and help start a fresh new day.

So the Year of the Rat is also considered as a new  b【5】in the cycle of the Chinese zodiac.

By coincidence (巧合的), the year of 2020 is a【6】the beginning of the 2020s. Many people also h【7】 for a lucky new decade.

To get some luck, maybe you can start by v【8】the Forbidden City. Don’t forget to take a photo with two cute rats if you come for a visit.
