21、The secret to happiness is keeping busy, research has found.
Keeping the mind occupied with tasks — no matter how meaningless — keeps off negative emotions, the study found.
However, the bad news is that humans are seemingly born to be lazy in order to save energy, according to Professor Christoper Hsee, a behavioral scientist at Chicago University.
In a study, 98 students were asked to complete two surveys. After they had completed the first, they were made to wait 15 minutes to receive the next one. They were given a choice of either handing in the first survey nearby or at a more distant location they had to walk to. Whichever option they chose, they received a chocolate bar. It turned out that approximately two-thirds (68 students) chose the lazy option. Those who had taken the walk reported feeling happier than those who had stayed put.
Prof. Hsee concluded that keeping busy helped keep people happy. He said the findings, reported in the journal Psychological Science, had policy implications.
“Governments may increase the happiness of idle citizens by having them build bridges that are actually useless,” he proposed.
At the individual level, he advised, “Get up and do something. Anything. Even if there really is no point to what you are doing, you will feel better for it.” He added, “Incidentally, thinking deeply or engaging in self-reflection counts as keeping busy, too.”
“You do not need to be running around. You just need to be engaged, either physically or mentally.”
【1】Keeping busy can make people happy because ______.
A．it can help people get rid of laziness
B．it can make people sleep better
C．it can help get rid of negative emotions
D．it can give people a sense of achievement
【2】What can we infer from the passage?
A．Everybody is born to be happy.
B．Only by keeping working all the time can you gain happiness.
C．Prof. Hsee’s findings were reported in Psychological Science.
D．Keeping busy goes against human nature.
【3】What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A．To explain what happiness is.
B．To advise people not to sit around.
C．To advise people to do what they like to.
D．To show people how to take life correctly.
22、Foods high in sugar are unhealthy, but these additives are too delicious for many of us to give up or reduce in a way. What if we could somehow enjoy their taste without actually eating them? A student team has now designed a spoon with a structure that stimulates taste buds (味蕾) to produce a sense of sweetness without adding calories or chemicals. The project follows previous work involving favor - enhancing cutlery like chopsticks that increase sweetness with a mild electric current.
The five undergraduate and graduate research students wanted to create a new spoon called Sugarware for people with such disorders as diabetes, with which sugar is largely off their menu.
The new spoon would have several bumps (凸起) on its underside to press against the tongue. The bumps can be covered with a permanent layer of molecules (分子) called ligands. These ligands bond with taste – cell receptor proteins that typically react to sugar molecules or artificial sweeteners. The bond can activate nerve signals, causing the brain to register a sense of sweetness. A diner could thus stimulate sweetness receptors without actual intake of sugar or artificial sweeteners.
This idea is similar to the previous work in that they all use cutlery to enhance taste without a user having to actually consume any sugar. “But the mechanism for stimulating the taste buds is completely different,” Shiyu Xu, one of the student researchers, says, “It uses bumps and taste - bud - stimulating molecules rather than electricity.”
The idea is “very creative,” says Paola Almeida, who is the global director of corporate innovation at candy maker Mars. But the product’s commercial success would require a significant behavioral shift among consumers: instead of adding the usual sugar or artificial sweeteners, “now we’re saying, ‘Use this cutlery,’” Almeida says, “It remains to be seen whether favor - enhancing cutlery will catch on.”
【1】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．How the new invention works.
B．How a diner feel sweetness.
C．How ligands and proteins link.
D．How sugar molecules function.
【2】In what way is the previous flavor - enhancing cutlery different from Sugarware?
A．It makes food more delicious.
B．It sends out signals to the brain.
C．It uses electricity to enhance taste.
D．It reduces users’ food consumption.
【3】What is Paola Almeida’s attitude to the future of Sugarware?
A．Positive.
B．Uncertain.
C．Critical.
D．Worried.
【4】What’s the best title of the text?
A．Struggling for Low Sugar? — Try This Spoon
B．Looking for Delicious Food? — This is How
C．Working for Commercial Success? — Be Creative
D．Dieting for Better Health? — Mind Sweeteners
23、Auckland is New Zealand’s largest urban area with a population of just over a million people. It is not, however, the capital, although it was at one time, until the capital moved to Wellington. Auckland is the center of commerce and industry, and is perhaps the most energetic, prosperous and multicultural city in New Zealand.
The city’s landscape is decided by volcanic hills, the twin harbors, bays, beaches and islands. Its nickname “the city of sails” is very suitable. Auckland has more boats for each person than anywhere else in the world.
Auckland has many volcanic hills, many of which currently afford great views of the city. And Auckland’s geography is such that shiny waters seem to attract people from every point. It is a water lovers’ best place, with some of the best beaches, swimming, diving, fishing, sailing, windsurfing and water sports in the country.
Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand. It is also the cultural, administrative and political center of the country. Two aspects of the city that will immediately strike any visitor are the harbor and hilly landscape. Everywhere you go, the sounds and the smell of the ocean hang in the air, and green hills and valleys wrap you in a bear-hug embrace. At night, Wellington offers a spectacular, shimmering(闪闪发光的) cityscape that is unlike almost anywhere else in the world. Even after seeing it for a hundred times, it takes your breath away.
Wellington is a scenic, windy and diverse place. It has some of the best museums, art galleries, restaurants, and coffee houses in the country. It is the storehouse for the nation’s historic, cultural and artistic treasures. Being the first place where European settlers arrived, it also boasts lots of historic streets and buildings.
Wellington is host to an excellent Festival of the Arts every two years.

24、 "Please, Max! You'll have a great time!” Kendra gave me her puppy-dog eyes, and I hesitated. "Sure, okay. I'll do this Hope thing,” I sighed, and she put a pledge sheet (承诺表)into my hand. I was supposed to get people to support me for an overnight walk to raise money for cancer research. I hated asking people for money, and I hated the thought of walking around the high school track for 24 hours. I wrote my own name down on the sheet and pledged 10 dollars. There. That was enough.
Friday afternoon I arrived at the track, "Thanks, Max This means a lot to me," Kendra smiled. As she took my form a weak woman wearing a bright bandanna around her head came up to us. Kendra hugged her, and I suddenly realized who she was.

"No, you go first. I still have a few people to call, "I said, pulling out my cellphone. I called everyone I knew-every relative, every friend. I begged4 promised — and I nearly filled my pledge sheet.
As the darkness deepened, Mayor Harris began to speak "This disease has touched everyone," 'she said. "We've come so far, and now more and more people are surviving. Yet there still is no absolute cure. Your participation here will support research, so that more people can be labeled survivors,”
Then the survivors took to the track for the first lap by candlelight. As they walked, I thought of the money I was raising, of how it would be used, and I knew that I was accomplishing something important.
