26、Feeling overcome by your to-do list can make you unhappy, but a new study suggests that more free time might not be the magic elixir most of us dream it could be.
The researchers analyzed data from 35,000 subjects about how Americans spend their free time. They found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective happiness—but only up to a point. Compared to those with less time, people with up to two hours of free time a day generally felt better. However, people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally felt worse. So the free-time "sweet spot" might be two to three hours per day.
Part of finding this “sweet spot" is connected with how people spend their free time. In an online experiment, the subjects were asked to imagine having four to seven free hours per day and spending that time doing "productive" or "unproductive" activities. Most of them believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day—but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was based on the previous assumptions, which is one limitation, it agrees with other experiments showing that being in a state of flow can benefit people's mental health.
Of course, for you, any activities that increase your happiness are "productive." If watching soap opera in your free time makes you feel better, you should do that due to self-care. And some traditionally productive activities can be easy and fun. For example, walking and cooking can help burn stress and put people in a state of flow.
"In cases where people find themselves with large amounts of free time, such as retirement or unemployment," Sharif said, "our results suggest they can benefit from spending their newfound time with purpose."
【1】How did the researchers carry out the study of the free-time "sweet spot"?
A.By observing the respondents.
B.By comparing different experiments.
C.By studying the collected data.
D.By doing an interview with the subjects.
【2】What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Free time.
B.The activity.
C.The finding.
D.The experiment.
【3】Why does the author mention "soap opera" in paragraph 4?
A.To present a fact.
B.To make a prediction.
C.To introduce a topic.
D.To explain an opinion.
【4】What does the new study suggest about people's happiness?
A.People will always feel much happier with more free time.
B.Much unfinished work is likely to make people feel worse.
C.The "sweet spot" has little connection with the amount of free time.
D.The amount of free time with activities can affect people's happiness.
27、 Think about all those successful people in your life that you know. How many of them build their success overnight? How many of them didn’t care about their goals? How many of them gave up after the first failure?
Most of the people we know to be successful were very persistent and devoted to their dreams. In other words, they work hard towards their dreams and keep trying, even if their goals aren’t easy to achieve. They didn’t give up just because they faced barriers and problems. They might even get encouraged by them.
Persistence really matters. It can help build your character. Nothing builds your character more than overcoming failures and problems in life. You get tougher and can handle anything life might throw at you. Each time you win your urge to give up, you make your mind and personality a bit stronger. Each of those wins will build your character to be healthier and to handle more stress.
When you are committed to something, you are willing to learn what it takes to be successful. You will be required to learn new skills and solve new kinds of problems. When you are persistent about your goals, you will have to learn new ways of doing things. Sometimes you might notice that to solve a particular problem, you need to learn more about it. When you study more about the topic, you discover new exciting subtopics to know about. As you think more in-depth into that problem, you will be exposed to new ideas and thoughts. Persistence is the driver behind your ability to learn what you need to know.
When you keep building your persistence and willpower, you will face many failures. Things don’t always end up as you have planned. With persistence, you will learn how to solve those problems and get back up after a failure. You will learn that failure is not the end of the world. Life goes on, and so can you. Each time you decide to overcome your failure, you will learn something new, and you will be a bit stronger than before. Those changes won’t show daily, but slowly they will start to stack up. If you look back and analyze your process, you will discover that you handle the stressful situation more efficiently, and after failures, you won’t go into despair. You rather know how to handle each failure as you have accumulated experiences from them and handle challenging situations.
Persistence is a basic quality to develop in life because it is closely related to personal development and improvement. As you already know, it is not easy, but it is worthy of your effort.
【1】The underlined word “them” in Paragraph refers to________.
A.dreams
B.successful men

28、In May 2020, the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games(BOCOG) solicited(征集) medal designs worldwide. Hang Hai and his team set about preparing designs to submit to the BOCOG. Medals reflect the culture and creativity of the host country, and the team set two basic principles for their design:
First, it should continue to adopt the jade(玉) culture incorporated into the design of the Beijing 2008 medals to highlight Beijing’s status as the world’s first city to host both the Summer and Winter Games; second, it should be innovative.
“The medals of both the Beijing 2008 and 2022 Games are to honor the athletes and the Olympic spirit with traditional jade culture, ”said Hang. Jade was chosen because it has been treasured in China and symbolizes good virtue. “The difference is that the 2008 medals used the jade as a material, while the 2022 medals represent the spirit of China’s jade culture,” he added.
In the process of designing the medals, one team member, Lin Fan, conducted extensive research into China’s ancient bi. Lin finally chose a five-ring one associated with Fu Hao — a Shang Dynasty queen — as the prototype(原型) for the medals. In the final design, the opposite side of the medals has the Olympic rings engraved in the center, surrounded by five big concentric(同心的) rings. Auspicious(吉祥的) cloud patterns, as well as snowfakes and ice patterns are engraved between the circles. The cloud patterns are intended to maintain a cultural connection with the 2008 Games, while the snowflakes and ice patterns speak to the characteristics of the Winter Olympics.
The cases holding the medals are made of bamboo. “The International Olympic Committee inquired about the growth and processing of the bamboo to ensure it meets the requirements of a green Olympics and follows the concept of sustainable(可持续的) development,” Hang said.
The medals passed the quality test and were accepted by the Games’ organizing committee on January 7, 2022. The medals are officially named Tongxin and they are the result of many people’s efforts. However, the smile on the athletes’ faces as they wear them makes it all worthwhile.
【1】What does paragraph 2 focus on?
A.The history of the Olympic medals.
B.The purpose of the 2022 Winter Olympics.
C.The basic requirements of the 2022 medal designs.
D.The significance of the 2008 medal patterns.
【2】What is the difference between the 2022 medals and the 2008 medals?
A.2022 medals use the jade as a material.
B.2022 medals strengthen the idea of environmental protection.
C.2022 medals make no difference in the medal designs.
D.2022 medals reflect the spirit of China’s jade culture.
【3】Why did the designers add cloud patterns to the 2022 medals?
A.To present harmony between human and nature.
B.To stress the bond with the 2008 Games.
C.To combine with the features of the Winter Olympics.
D.To highlight the charm of Chinese traditional culture.
【4】What do we know about the cases holding the medals?
A.Their production shows the concept of green Olympics.
B.They were solicited by BOCOG.
C.They symbolize good virtue.
D.They spent a lot of time processing.
29、Fish cats are a kind of cats that love water and love to fish. They are like tigers and lions, only much smaller, around twice the size of our average pet cats. They live in wetlands of South Asia and mangrove forests (红树林)of South and Southeast Asia. Like many endangered species, fish cats were in danger of dying out more than twenty years ago, mainly because of the great international need for fish food and the people's cutting of the mangroves at an extremely fast speed.
Mangroves of Southeast Asia are home to a great many fantastic species, like fish cats, turtles, shorebirds and others. Mangroves can protect soil, and they can be the first line of protection between storms, tsunamis and the millions of people who live next to them. The fact is that mangroves can store almost five to ten times more CO2 than other forests. So protecting mangroves may well be like protecting five to ten times more of other forests.
Ten years ago, in South India, many people came together to change the future of their home. In less than 10 years, with international support, the state forest departments and the local people worked together to restore over 20,000 acres of unproductive fish and shrimp farms back into mangroves. Now experts are working with them in helping study and protecting the mangroves as well as the species living in them. Fish and shrimp farmers are now willing to work with experts to test the harvest of nature protection like fishes, turtles and other species in mangroves. The local farmers are encouraged to protect and plant mangroves where they have been lost. A win-win-win for fish cats, local people and the global ecosystem(生态系统)is being built.
【1】What made the fish cats endangered?
A.Natural enemies and environment pollution.
B.Cutting of mangroves and lack of water.
C.Being too large and need for fish food.
D.Less fish and overcutting of mangroves.
【2】Why are mangroves so important?
A.They can prevent extreme weather.
B.They can take in more CO2 effectively.
