26、When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no doubt that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.
Certainly, most of the world's great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But as the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.
First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行) . Secondly, there is the worry that the money' you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one's sense of pride and self-dependence.
Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.
【1】What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A. Moral deeds of people.
B. Religious activities of the church.
C. Moral goodness of the giver.
D. Arguments on giving to beggars.
【2】What can we infer from the sentence "But has the world changed?" in the second paragraph?
A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.
B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.
C. We don't meet with those who need help any more.
D. Now it is the government's duty to help the beggars.
【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.
B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.
C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.
D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.
【4】In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because .
A. the cases can be so different
B. there are so many beggars
C. there is so much money wasted
D. there are so many different arguments.

28、 To start a conversation about the secret to happiness, ABC News’ health editor Dr. Richard Besser hosted a Twitter chat Tuesday. Experts from the National Institutes of Health, Mayo Clinic, Harvard University and TEDMED, as well as clinicians and people from across the country, joined the one-hour discussion. There are countless ways to measure happiness. With research on the topic increasing, researchers have carried out surveys to study people’s sense of well-being.
Angela Haupt, health and wellness editor for U.S. News and World Report, said, “Happiness indicators include life satisfaction, health and community engagement.”
@toddkashdan added that, “despite problems with self-reports, there is no better way to measure happiness than focusing on personal thoughts and feelings.”
While scientists try to find out what caused happiness, others often believe that true joy doesn’t exist. Dr Friedman, a psychiatrist at New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Hospital, said that “happiness is hard to measure, but easy to recognize.”
Still, common themes about satisfaction come up in these conversations. Finding meaning in daily work was important. Indeed, researchers have found that having creative and purposeful work to do is a key factor in happiness. But people were quick to state the importance of balancing work and family obligations.
Chat participants(参与者) agreed that money does not surely bring happiness. And studies agree once people’s basic needs like food and housing are met, higher incomes do little to improve your happiness. At last, people found value in their connections with others. Research shows that having support through friends, family, and social networks can bring happiness. Many agree with @drmommy, who said “I measure my happiness by the loving people that are around me.”
So, can we increase our happiness? Expressing gratitude(感激) is a possible way of feeling happiness. Researchers have found that people who regularly write down things for which they are grateful in “gratitude journals” have increased satisfaction in life, higher energy levels, and improved health. In one study, people who read a letter of appreciation to someone in their lives prove happier almost one month later. Performing acts of kindness can raise your moods
Data show that our relationships matter, too. People who are interested in meaningful conversations with friends or family are reported to be happier than those who don’t. Close interpersonal ties and strong social support are important for happiness.
【1】Dr Friedman may agree that ________.
A.happiness can be measured by health B.happiness can never be measured
C.it’s easy to see whether one is happy D.it’s hard to seek for happiness
【2】It can be learnt that @drmommy measures his happiness by ________.
A.health B.purposeful work C.meaningful work D.friends’ support
【3】We can learn from the passage that money can affect your happiness if you are relatively______.
A.poor B.sensitive C.unhealthy D.hopeless
【4】What’s the main purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce us the results of a chat B.To give us some advice on improving happiness
C.To correct the misunderstanding of happiness D.To remind us to find the secret to happiness
29、The biggest complaint of the modern world is not having enough time to read. 【1】 It’s because advance in technology has made reading less interesting.
【2】 But I often left many novels halfway for lack of time. I decided to take reading seriously. Here are some strategies that actually work even when I have a tight schedule.
Set A Reading Goal.
Having a dedicated reading goal can aid in developing a regular reading practice. Set a simple, attainable, and just slightly challenging goal for yourself. 【3】 I changed it to “read at least 30 minutes daily” in March. You can create any goal that suits your needs for the month and do your best to stick with it.
Change Your Habits.
Already existing habits are hard to break. If you already have a habit of scrolling (浏览手机) before bed, replace that habit by reading instead. Pick up a book whenever you are tempted to open your phone. Or create a“cue”(提示)for your mind. 【4】
Track Your Progress.
I used to put a mark on my calendar whenever I lived up to my reading goal. Witnessing my progress helped me in keeping my morale (士气) up.
I hope this quick little list helps you in getting more quality reading done this year. However, that doesn’t mean you need to read more books. 【5】
A.Remember to have fun while reading.
B.But there are tremendous benefits of reading.
C.In February, I made the goal of reading at least 10 pages a day.
D.Like everyone else, I hoped to get a ton of reading done in 2021.
E.Even people who are keen readers struggle to make the time to read.
F.I always keep a book on my bedside table to ensure I pick it up before sleeping.
G.Even if you spend just 5 minutes truly enjoying a story, or a poem, you’re doing it right.
