How can you change negative thoughts? Many people suggest changing your attitude by thinking of something bright and happy.

However, scientists from Queen’s University in Canada said that there might be another way: by walking like a happy person.

“It is not surprising that our mood (情绪) and the way we feel has an effect on how we walk, but we want to see whether the way we move also influences how we feel,” explained Nikolaus Troje, the lead scientist, to The Independent.

Scientists believed that those who suffer from depression (抑郁) remember negative information far more easily than positive messages, especially when the information is about them.

In order to prove this, Troje and his team used cameras to observe 47 people walking on the treadmill (跑步机). Half of the people were encouraged to mimic (模仿) a sad walking style, while the other half moved like a happy person. Walking speed was kept the same for both groups.

During the walking time, the scientists read out a list of positive and negative words, asking people to decide whether or not each word described them well. Afterwards, people were asked to recite as many of the words as they could remember.

As expected, those who had been mimicking a sad walk thought of more negative words than those that had been walking in a happy way.

This finding means that our walk influences the way we process information. And the scientists believe that using a happy walking style could help with treatment for depression.

19. Which of the following is closest in the meaning to the underlined word “negative” in the first paragraph?

A. Sad and inactive. B. Friendly and helpful.

C. Confident and happy. D. Lonely and boring.

20. What new way did scientists from Queen’s University possibly find to change negative thoughts?

A. Doing something happy. B. Thinking of something bright.

C. Walking like a happy person. D. Thinking about being a happy person.

21. In the test, what did those who walked in a happy way do?

A. Remembered more positive words. B. Remembered more negative words.

C. Lived a happier life. D. Lived a harder life.

22. According to the story, what can the finding help to do?

A. Improve one’s acting skills. B. Treat patients with depression.

C. Recover people’s happy memory D. Change a person’s walking habit.

C

Emerson once said, “You can never do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.”

How many times have we said, “Oh, I’ll do that tomorrow”? Sometimes tomorrow never comes, and we find ourselves saying, “Boy, I wish I hadn’t put that off.”

Our family has been friends with Betty for many years. Over the years, we shared phone calls and birthday cards. Betty sent our youngest son Brandon a birthday card with five dollars in it every year until he graduated from high school.

Last November, I called Betty to see how she was and what she had done on her birthday. I was pretty surprised when Betty didn’t answer the phone; instead, her daughter Carol did. Carol told me that her mom had gone downhill fast, and that she was now in hospice care (临终关怀). Carol handed the phone to Betty. I talked briefly (简略地) to her and let her know we loved her.

As soon as I got off the phone, I sent a message to Brandon to let him know Betty wasn’t doing well. Brandon stopped what he was doing and immediately sent flowers to Betty.

You can imagine how proud I was of Brandon when Carol called the next day, letting me know how much Betty loved the flowers Brandon had sent. A few days later, Betty died.

So, my friends, remember next time, try to do what you want to do as soon as possible because you never know how soon it will be too late.

23. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?

A. To tell us a famous person. B. To show the importance of being kind.

C. To introduce the theme of the passage. D. To ask people to remember this saying.

24. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?

A. When the writer met Betty for the first time. B. How the writer’s family kept in touch with Betty.

C. Where the writer’s family and Betty lived. D. Why the writer’s son liked Betty.

25. What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence?

A. Her mom was hurt when she was climbing a hill. B. Her mom had trouble climbing a hill.

C. Her mom didn’t want to answer the phone call. D. Her mom’s health was getting worse and worse.

26. Why was the writer proud of Brandon?

A. Because Brandon showed his care for Betty as soon as he knew the situation.

B. Because Brandon sent presents in return for the birthday cards he received.

C. Because Brandon was kind and helpful to everyone.

D. Because Brandon was good at planting flowers.

D

Language comes from culture and in turn it influences a culture. This can be seen when we compare English in the UK, the US and Australia.

Of all the three kinds of English, British English has the most difficult grammar and spelling rules. This is probably because the development of English has been under control of the rich people. They spoke French and wanted to make themselves different from the workers.

The US English is thought as the easiest to understand. Compared with British English, its spelling is similar to its pronunciation. And its grammar rules are much easier to learn. It’s much easier for foreigners to learn. That’s why American English is more popular in the world.

The reason why American English is simpler than British English has something to do with its history. British English was mainly influenced by the rich people. But American English was based (以……为基础) on the language spoken by working people from different countries. So American English was based on a rule to help all the working people from different cultures communicate more easily.

Australian English is different from British and American English. It is not as polite as the other two. At times, this can make it almost impossible to understand and quite impolite to some well-educated speakers. That is maybe connected with the early settlers (移民).

27. Why is British English more difficult than American English?

A. Because it was influenced by the rich.

B. Because English people are better educated.

C. Because it was created by Frenchmen.

D. Because England was more powerful in the past.

28. Why is American English more popular than British English？

A. Because it has fewer words. B. Because the US has a shorter history.

C. Because the US has a larger population. D. Because it is easier for foreigners to learn.

29. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Australian English is easy to understand.

B. Australian English is preferred by educated people.

C. British English became popular among workers.

D. American English may come from working people’s language.

30. What’s the structure of the passage?

A. ①②③/④⑤ B. ①/②③④⑤ C. ①②③④/⑤ D. ①/②/③④⑤
