An Epidemic (流行病) of Depression? Seligman is leading the charge in what might be called Happiness Revolution in psychology. Since World War II, psychologists have focused on fixing what is broken — repairing psychosis (精神病), and neurosis(神经衰弱). Research has piles up steadily when it comes to looking at patients who are neurotic, while the happy or joyful people among us have received little scientific examination.

When Seligman did a search to find academic articles about such “positive psychology” he found only 800 out of 70,000. “Psychologists tend to be concerned with taking a negative 8 person, and helping him get to negative 2,” said Seligman, a University of Pennsylvania psychology professor. “My aim is to take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6.”

In the last 50 years, statistics have shown that we are less happy as a people. “While our quality of life has increased dramatically over that time, and we’ve become richer, we’re in an epidemic of depression,” Seligman said. “Depression is 10 times more common now, and life satisfaction rates are down as well.” Seligman argues that the new science he writes about is shifting psychology’s model away from its narrow-minded focus on pathology, victimology, and mental illness towards positive emotion, virtue and strength, and positive institutions that increase people’s happiness. If you want to be happy, forget about winning the lottery, getting a nose job, or securing a raise. In his new book, Authentic Happiness, psychologist Martin Seligman argues that overall lifetime happiness is not the result of good genes, money, or even luck. Instead, he says we can boost our own happiness by making use of the strengths and traits that we already have, including kindness, originality, humor, optimism, and generosity. He has named the discipline “Positive Psychology,” arguing that we would be better off building on our own strengths rather than bemoaning, and hence, trying to repair, our weakness. By frequently calling upon their strengths, people can build up natural barriers against misfortune and negative emotions, he said.

To cultivate happiness, we must first find out our individual strengths and virtues. Next, apply the qualities in such a way as to enhance our happiness-generating system.

41．Why could Seligman’s work be called Happiness Revolution?

A．Because happy or joyful people among us also suffer from illness.

B．Because psychology is the emotional characteristic of an individual.

C．Because psychology is the science that deals with mental processes and behavior.

D．Because traditional research on psychology rarely concerns happy or joyful people.

42．What does Seligman mean by saying “take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6”?

A．We should focus on happy or joyful people.

B．The number of happy or joyful people will increase by 4.

C．“Positive psychology” articles need to be published more.

D．Happy people among us also need improve their mentality.

43．According to the passage, traditional opinion of psychology is __________.

A．encouraging B．optimistic C．subjective D．narrow-minded

44．Martin Seligman argues that authentic happiness results from___________.

A．good genes, money or luck B．positive mental status

C．contented life. D．a good job.

45．The main topic of the passage is ____________.

A．how we can cultivate our happiness. B．why material goods can’t boost people.

C．why we should cultivate our happiness. D．how complicated our happiness-generation system is.

The rapid pace of global warming and its effects on habitats raise the question of whether species are able to keep up so that they remain in suitable living conditions. Some animals can move fast to adjust to a quickly changing climate. Plants, being less mobile, rely on means such as seed dispersal (传播) by animals, wind or water to move to new areas, but this redistribution typically occurs within one kilometer of the original plant. Writing in Nature, Juan P. González-Varo sheds light on the potential capacity of migratory (迁徙的) birds to aid seed dispersal.

González-Varo and colleagues report how plants might be able to keep pace with rapid climate change through the help of migrating birds. They analyzed an impressive data set of 949 different seed-dispersal interactions between bird and plant communities, together with data on entire fruiting times and migratory patterns of birds across Europe.

The authors hypothesized (假定) that the direction of seed migration depends on how the plants interact with migratory birds, the frequency of these interactions or the number of bird species that might transport seeds from each plant species.

Perhaps the most striking feature of these inferred seed movements is the observation that 35 percent of plant species across European communities, which are closely related on the phylogenetic tree (进化树谱), might benefit from long-distance dispersal by the northward journey of migratory birds. This particular subset (小组) of plants tends to fruit over a long period of time, or has fruits that persist over the winter. This means that the ability of plants to keep up with climate change could be shaped by their evolutionary history – implying that future plant communities in the Northern Hemisphere (半球) will probably come from plant species that are phylogenetically closely related and that have migrated from the south.

This study provides a great example of how migratory birds might assist plant redistribution to new locations that would normally be difficult for them to reach on their own, and which might offer a suitable climate.

46．The rapid pace of global warming and its effect are mentioned in Paragraph 1 ________.

A．to call public attention to seed dispersal

B．to show the threat of climate change to human beings

C．to provide the background of González -Varo’s research

D．to explain why some animals can adapt to climate change

47．How could plants keep pace with the rapid climate change according to González-Varo?

A．With the help of wind and water.

B．With the help of migratory birds.

C．By adjusting themselves to the climate.

D．By relying on animals on land.

48．How did González-Varo and his colleagues conduct the research?

A．By analyzing related data.

B．By conducting field research.

C．By interviewing experts.

D．By reviewing findings of previous studies.

49．What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A．Most plant species benefit from long-distance dispersal.

B．The evolutionary history of different plants is similar.

C．Plants with longer fruiting times adapt better when transported farther.

D．Plant communities in different hemispheres will become less related phylogenetically.

50．What could be the best title for the text?

A．Impacts of Climate Change on Migratory Birds.

B．Different Ways to Redistribute Plants to New Climates.

C．Plants Struggle to Keep Pace with Climate Change.

D．Migratory Birds Aid the Redistribution of Plants to New Climates.

If I could give today’s young people three wishes, they would be: more hugs, more time outside in nature, more belief in their own power to change the world. The third one leaves some people wondering why young people’s belief in their own power is so essential.

Let’s start with the idea that all of us – especially young people – need heroes. Our modern society is terribly confused about the difference between a celebrity and a hero. A celebrity is all about fame – temporary, superficial fame, usually for qualities that are easy to see: a pretty face, a great dance move, etc. A hero, by contrast, is about character- qualities under the surface that aren’t seen until they take action.

Heroes are all around us. They truly hold our world together, through their unselfish devotion to helping others, teaching children, and protecting the environment. They don’t want fame, or glory; they just want to help. In so many ways, these unsung heroes pilot the boat in which all of us sail.

Yet, young people hear a lot more about celebrities than about heroes in the media. The hidden message they get from all this is that their self-worth comes from what they buy – which shoes, which cell phone – not who they are down inside. What gets lost in this? Young people’s sense of their own potential for heroic qualities – their own power to – make a positive difference in the world. Truth is, there is a potential hero, a future difference maker, in every young person.

How do we help young people believe in their own power? The best way is simply to share examples of other young people who have made a difference.

Barbara grew up on a farm in Texas. When she realized that local farmers were pouring their used motor oil into rivers, causing pollution, she organised the creation of a recycling centre for crude oil (原油). Her project has grown to include 18 recycling centres in Texas.

The list could continue. These are but a few examples of young people who have discovered that they can build on their own energy to do something great.

51．What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 2?

A．To give examples of celebrities and heroes around us.

B．To discuss the distinctions between celebrities and heroes.

C．To illustrate the details about being celebrities and heroes.

D．To explain the meanings of the words “celebrity” and “hero”.

52．What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 3?

A．Heroes only help specific groups of people.

B．Heroes want to be recognised for their work.

C．Heroes play a vital role in keeping the world running.

D．Heroes enjoy piloting boats to reach their destination.

53．What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A．Heroes and celebrities are both valued today.

B．Society doesn’t support the development of heroes.

C．The media turns ordinary celebrities into real heroes.

D．Young people don’t have the belief in their own strength.

54．How does the author advance his view that young people believe in their own power?

A．By explaining the qualities that make a young person a hero.

B．By comparing the achievements made by different young people.

C．By giving examples of young people who show the qualities of a hero.

D．By providing examples of qualities that have made young people famous.

55．What does the passage focus on?

A．More heroes are needed in the world.

B．Celebrities are reported too much in the media.

C．Adults should become role models for young people.

D．Young people should believe in their ability to make a difference.

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Elizabeth Holmes was named to last year’s TIME 100 list of the world’s most influential people because she developed a high tech approach to blood testing. She’s being compared to people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Just as Gates wanted a computer on every desk, Holmes wants a blood test in every drugstore. Her company, Theranos, has created what they call a painless, needle-free way to draw blood and test it. Instead of a needle to the arm, it’s a pin prick (刺穿, 扎穿) to the finger.

At 19 years old, Holmes dropped out of Stanford University. Now, at 31, she’s what lots of teenagers likely try hard to become: the youngest female billionaire in the world. Her company is now valued at close to $10 billion.

“You know, money is not what matters,” Holmes said. “What matters is how well we do in trying to make people’s lives better. That’s why I’m doing this. That’s why I work the way that I work. And that’s why I love what I’m doing so much.” Holmes is marketing Theranos as a faster and cheaper alternative to a process that hasn’t changed meaningfully in decades.

Theranos struck a partnership with drugstore chain Walgreens to build thousands of Wellness Centers. Every center would offer a menu of blood tests-ranging from cancer to cholesterol (胆固醇)- directly to consumers. And every test,” Holmes said, “would cost only a small part of what Medicare pays.”

Not everyone is sold just yet. Some critics argue the Theranos method doesn’t extract enough blood to do all the tests it claims.” Every time you create something new, there should be questions, and to me that’s a sign that you’ve actually done something that is transformative,” Holmes said.

For as much promise as those tiny samples hold, Holmes is already known as a very real and rare example of what perseverance (坚持不懈) makes possible. She was young when she decided she wanted to change the world, and at nine years old she wrote a letter explaining her dreams to her dad: “What I really want out of life is to discover something new, something that mankind didn’t know was possible to do.”

56．Why was Elizabeth Holmes named to last year’s TIME 100 list? (no more than 15 words)

57．According to Holmes, why does she love her work so much? (no more than 15 words)

58．Who will pay for her consumers’ blood tests? (no more than 3 words)

59．How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5? (no more than 10 words)

60．What do you think of Holmes? Why? (no more than 20 words)
