Everybody enjoys acts of kindness. But can you explain why? Some people think kindness is something out of love and care, while others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular. But research shows that being kind can activate （激活）an area of the brain called Striatum. Research also shows that kindness improves people's mood （情绪）. But why and how does it happen? Here are a number of different ways.

Being kind can make someone smile. If you see yourself smile in a situation, people around may be smiling, too. This is especially true for your close friends and family. A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. It can also make ourselves feel good. So why not set off that chain（链条）of good feelings to people around?

Secondly, being kind starts or develops a social connection with others. Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger. Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself. Similarly, charities（慈善）also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world.

In another recent research, even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy. If one person is kind, he or she makes others in the group kind. It also lifts everyone's spirits. Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month. Then you're getting cakes a lot more days than providing them.

The story doesn't end here. Being kind may improve your mood, but research has also shown that if you're in a good mood, you can act much more kindly. This makes it a wonderful two-way relationship, doesn't it?

19．How does the writer lead in the topic?  

A．telling a story B．asking questions

C．giving examples D．making a survey

20．The underlined word"It" in Paragraph 2 refers to "     ".  

A．the situation B．the family C．the kind act D．that chain

21．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?  

A． B． C． D．

22．If you were an editor（编辑）, you'd put the above passage in "      "of a newspaper.  

A．Science B．Sports C．Invention D．Culture

阅读下面材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

"When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a cardboard folded in half, wrote their names in bold（黑体） with the most eyecatching color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener's name directly. "

"I couldn't understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances（机会）. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that. "

After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card.

B．He saw the cardboards on the seats.

C．He asked the students for their names.

D．He got them from the name list on the teacher's desk.

25．What does the underlined word "eyecatching" in Paragraph 3 mean?  

A．引人注目的 B．眼睛疼痛的 C．目光呆滞的 D．泪眼朦胧的

26．What does the writer mainly tell us?  

A．Doing as others do is necessary.

B．Answering questions bravely is easy.

61．Dear Mike，

How nice to hear from you! In your letter you talked about your difficulties with your Chinese learning.

I used to be weak in Chinese. I also feel very stressed. （我的经历）Well, I advise you to practice at least 15 minutes of books every day, and recite some daily Chinese every day. Then, it is a must to listen to some easy tapes for 20 minutes every day at first. Then one day if you think it's time for more difficult ones, you can listen to some advanced Chinese．As for writing, you'd better do some simple reading as much as you can and take as many notes as possible, which will be of much help． Besides, writing something in Chinese every day, such as keeping diaries, will greatly make progress in your writing skills as well as the way you think in Chinese. 【提出建议】

Hoping they will do some good to your Chinese learning.【表达希望】

Best wishes!
