A sad movie may be more suitable for you.Some scientists at Ohio State University, the U.S., have found that sad movies can make people happier. They published their study in a magazine called Communication Research.Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie called Atonement. The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated. They died during World War II at the end of the movie. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feelings, including sadness.According to the result of the survey, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their own lives and relationships. Compared to those of the unlucky lovers in the movie, their lives were full of hope.“I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie has made me think a lot,” one student wrote.Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, the leader of the study, explained that bad moods (情绪) would make people more thoughtful. “Good moods are generally a sign that everything is fine. You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to think about problems in your life,” she said. “But bad emotions, like sadness, make you feel terrible about your situation. Therefore, seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad, but that will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and value them more.”8. The scientists asked the college students to watch Atonement ________.A. to help them make more friendsB. to make them feel better about themselvesC. to find out how they felt after watching itD. to encourage them to share their feelings9. How many times did the students answer questions from the scientists?A. Six times. B. Five times. C. Four times. D. Three times.10. What does the underlined word “those” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. stories. B. feelings. C. friends. D. lives.11. What is the best title for this passage?A. Feeling Sad? Watch a Sad MovieB. Feeling Lonely? Find True LoveC. Feeling Bad? See a Happy FilmD. Feeling Down? Think about OthersDOn the early morning of December 17, the Chang’e-5 lunar probe (月球探测器) landed safely on the grasslands in Inner Mongolia, meaning the Chang’e-5 mission (任务) ended successfully. Chang’e-5 was launched from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan Province on November 24, 2020. On December 1, the probe got to the moon. During the stay on the moon, it collected 1,731 grams of rock and soil samples (样品). On December 3, our national flag was shown on the moon. After that, the probe was ready to go home. China is no stranger to lunar exploration (探月) programs. Over the years, it has sent a number of increasingly challenging missions to the moon. One of the most famous missions was the historic landing of Chang’e-4 spacecraft on the moon’s far side in 2019. As Chang’e-5 reached a new area of the moon, this launch successfully pushed the limits (极限) even further. It’s no doubt a great step forward for the space industry.This is a truly historic event for China’s space program, making China the third nation in the world to bring samples back from the moon. The success has also made Chang’e-5 the first spacecraft to bring back samples from the moon since 1976 when a Russian spaceship brought back 170.1 grams of samples to the earth. This was no easy task, but China has made it.12. How long did the whole Chang’e-5 mission last?A. About half a month. B. Around 10 days.C. Over a month. D. More than 20 days.13.
