Dolphins (海豚) are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this way they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time—at least twenty or thirty years.

Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.

Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.

There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the arer—except for The Penguin.

Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.

A. people are cruel to animals                 B. dolphins are friendly and clever

The old man fished alone in a small rowboat and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boy’s patents had told him that the old man was now bad luck, and ordered the boy to join another boat, which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty and he always went down to help him carry in the fishing lines or take down the old, patched sail.

“Santiago,” the boy said to him as they dragged up the boat to the sand. “I could go with you again. I’ve made some money.” the old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him. “No,” the old man said. “You’re with a lucky boat. Stay with them. You must obey your father.” “We can be lucky again too. Remember when we didn’t catch a fish for 10 days, then caught a big one each day for a month?” said the boy. “Can I offer you a beer on the balcony and then we’ll take the stuff home,” said the boy. “Why not?” the old man said.

“Santiago,” the boy said as they sat on the balcony, “If I cannot fish with you, I would like to serve in some way.” “You bought me a beer,” the old man said, lifting the bottle to his mouth. “Do you remember the first time I took you out to fish?” the old man asked. “I was five. I remember the tail of a huge fish slapping against the boat, the noise of you clubbing him and the sweet blood smell. I remember everything from when we first went together,” the boy said. The old man looked at him with his sun-burned, loving eyes.

“May I get some sardines for tomorrow? Let me get four fresh ones,” said the boy. “One,” the old man said. His hope and his confidence had never gone. But now they were freshening like a sea breeze. “Two,” the boy said. “Thank you,” the old man said. He was too simple to wonder when he had attained modesty. But he knew he had attained it and he knew it was not disgraceful and it carried no loss of true pride. “Tomorrow is going to be a good day with this wind,” he said. “I will row far out before it is light. There will going to be a good day with this wind,” he said. “I will row far out before it is light. There will be a big fish?” asked the boy. “I think so. And I know many tricks.”

36. When did the boy stop working with the old man?

A. 40 days ago.         B. 44 days ago.        C. 80 days ago.        D. 84 days ago

37. Why was the boy forced to stop working for the old man?

A. It was too dangerous to continue fishing.

B. It was time for the boy to return to school.

C. The old man was thought to be a poor teacher.

D. The boy couldn’t earn enough money with the old man.

38. In paragraph 2, the boy probably mentioned their past fishing experiences in order to ___.

A. convince the old man that he should not retire

B. explain why he had to stop working for the old man

C. persuade the old man to let him return as his assistant

D. warn the old man about the danger of fishing in the deep sea

39. Which of the following did the boy NOT do for the old man?

A. Buy him a beer.                                        B. Repair the sail.

C. Drag up the boat.                                    D. Take in the fishing equipment.

A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.
    Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin (褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.
    The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.
    Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.
    Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
    While the effect of cows milk harvested at different times has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.
    Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.
    Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

27. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.
   A. started sleep more easily          B. were less active
   C. were more anxious                     D. woke up later
28. Which of the following is TRUE of melatonin according to the text?
   A. It’s used in sleeping drugs                   B. It exists in milk in great amount
   C. It can make people more energetic           D. It’s been tested on mice for ten years 
29. What can be a suitable title for the text?
   A. Milk Drinking and Health                  B. Fat, Sugar and Health
   C. An Experiment on Mice                     D. Night Milk and Sleep
30. How does the author support the theme of the text?
   A. By giving examples.           B. By providing research results.   

C. By explaining statistical data.     D. By stating arguments

Researchers have shown that your talent for happiness is, to a large degree, determined by your genes（基因）.                       31___  We can do this by overcoming negative emotions and developing positive emotions.

Strategy（策略）1: 32  

The first step is to make a choice to be happy. In Seeking Happiness, Bertrand Russell said, “Happiness must be an achievement rather than a gift of the gods, and in this achievement, effort must play a great part.

Once you’ve decided to be happier, you can choose strategies for achieving happiness.

Strategy 2: Develop gratitude（感激）.

In Authentic Happiness, psychologist Martin Seligman encourages readers to perform a daily “gratitude exercise”.           33  

Strategy 3: Remember, money can’t buy happiness.

Research shows:  34        Yes, “we always think that some things are wrong because they cannot bring us happiness,” writes Daniel Gilbert in Stumbling on Happiness.

Strategy 4: Take part in meaningful activities.

“People are seldom happier,” says Jackson, “than when they’re doing meaningful activities”. Yet, he has found that the most common leisure（休闲）activity — watching TV — produces some of the lowest levels of happiness.                                            35    __       Active leisure that helps a person grow does not come easily, he writes in Finding Flow.

A.  Achieve happiness.

B.  Choose to be happy.

C.  Yet, psychologists believe we can chase happiness.

D.  To get more out of life, we need to put more into it.

E.  Happiness is decided by a good many aspects.

F. This shifts people away from bitterness, and promotes happiness.

G. More money doesn’t necessarily bring extra happiness.
