What do you want from life? Perhaps you want to spend more time with your family, or get a more secure job, or improve your health. But why do you want those things? Chances are that your answer will come down to one thing: Happiness.

Yet there is some evidence that too much pursuit of happiness is associated with a greater risk of depression. Modern conceptions of happiness are primarily practical, focusing on what we might call the techniques of happiness. The concern is not what happiness is, but instead on how to get it.

But maximizing pleasure isn't the only option. Every human life, even the most fortunate, is filled with pain. Painful loss, painful disappointments, the physical pain of injury or sickness, and the mental pain of long-suffering boredom, loneliness, or sadness. Pain is an unavoidable consequence of being alive. All the good things in life involve suffering. Writing a novel, running a marathon, or giving birth all cause suffering in pursuit of the final, joyous result.

There are other factors as well. In the eyes of Aristotle, we get happiness by exercising our uniquely human capabilities to think and reason. But thinking and reasoning are as much social activities as they are individual. Happiness requires others; it is not an emotional state so much as it is the excellence of the relations we cultivate with other people.

But even that cannot guarantee happiness. Aristotle recognised that our happiness is hostage(人质） to fortune.Events beyond any individual's control--war,poverty,and global pandemics--will often make happiness impossible. Happiness is not a mental state that can be permanently won,but instead it's a practice which we hone(磨练）,imperfectly,in circumstances only partly of our making.

Recognizing this will not secure a good life,but it will avoid the illusory(虚幻的)hope of permanent contentment. No life worth living should meet the only standard. Instead, aim with Aristotle to embrace those faults and to flower in spite of them.

4、Where can you find negative effects of focusing too much on "happiness"?
A. In paragraph 2.  B. In paragraph 3.
C. In paragraph 4.  D. In paragraph 5.

5、How does the author prove that pain is an unavoidable result of being alive?
A. By making comparisons. B.By analyzing causes.
C. By giving examples. D. By telling stories.

6、What is Aristotle's view on happiness?
A. Happiness is a stable emotional state.
B. Good personal relationships lead to happiness.
C. Taking part in social activities guarantees happiness.
D. Happiness promotes independent thinking and reasoning.

7、What is the text mainly about?
A. Happiness is what humans pursue forever.
B. Happiness lies in the process of pursuing it.
C.Our pursuit of happiness may be imperfect.
D. Depression and happiness are equally important.

Scientists have found the simplest way you can protect yourself against stress is by hugging. It is said hugs are society's favorite form of expressing affection. To some extent, hugs act as a form of social support, protecting stressed people from getting sick.

Have you ever wondered how acceptable it is to hug or touch someone? The simple answer is to thoroughly learn unique cultural norms for physical contact. Basically,physical contact and the study of touching are generally referred to as haptics(触觉论).Haptics in communication often suggest the level of closeness.They are usually classified into two groups:high-contact and low-contact.

Asia and the United States, Canada and Britain belong to low-contact cultures. People from the rest of the world, such as Latin America, are considered to be in high-contact cultures, where they tend to expect touching in social interactions and feel more comfortable with physical closeness. Despite the classification, there are more complex factors such as relational closeness, gender, age, and context that can affect how someone views physical contact.

One common French custom of greetings is cheekakissing, but it is mostly restricted to close friends and family members. While cheek-kissing for Latin Americans is also a universal greeting form, it does not require such a high degree of relational closeness. However, gender matters more for them because check-kissing often only happens between women or a man and a woman but not two men.

In contrast, in certain Arabian, African, and Asian countries, men can publicly hold hands or show physical affection as signs of brotherhood or friendship while these behaviors may suggest a romantic relationship in other parts of the world. Although men's touching is more normal in these cultures,physical contact between persons of opposite sexes who are not family members is negatively perceived in Arabian countries.

These factors could definitely affect the degree to which someone is comfortable with physical closeness. Therefore, if you are someone who loves to show physical affection, you should not be afraid to show it - just ask for agreement beforehand!

8、What does physical contact in communication suggest?
A. What social class people belong to.
B. How civilized the communicators are.
C. What family background people come from.
D. How close the communicators' relationships are.

9、What do we learn about people in high-contact cultures?
A. They promote to be open in social events.
B. They take physical touch as a cultural norm.
C. They tend to have close ties among people.
D. They prefer to hug to express their emotions.

10、Which social custom happens in Arabian countries?
A. Traditional romantic relationship seems simply unacceptable.
B. Men can show friendship in public through physical affection.
C. Physical contact between familiar people is naturally received.
D. People of different ages and genders show affection by touching.

11、What is the author's advice on physical closeness in paragraph 6?
A. Learn to use appropriate body language first.
B. Embrace someone who you are familiar with.
C. Focus on differences between ages and genders.
D. Take other people's preference into consideration.

The world is definitely moving fast towards sustainability and incorporating green principles in everyday operations. It is a good thing as our planet is heading towards global warming and terrible climate changes. Amid all this, a designer has taken sustainability and green commute（通勤）to a whole new level. A bike is designed that is electric and made of wood.This is probably the most sustainable and green design in commuting so far.

The bike is called Electraply and is almost made entirely of plywood(胶合板）.It is said that it can reach a speed of about 28 mph. Evie Bee is the contemporary designer who brought this to life. The main focus behind this project was to amalgamate the conventional and traditional techniques of creating objects with advanced and present-day producing styles. She wanted to step out of her comfort zone and try something unique. Moreover, the design was inspired by her wish to ride her own electric bike.

Evie's design is based on the Yamaha SR 250 Scrambler(扰频器）because it is the most popular model when it comes to scrambler bikes. CNC machines were used to cut the plywood and the steel was cut with the help of a cutter. Altogether, the weight of the bike is 30 kg. In order to have the weight down, poplar plywood was used in the making of the central frame. The outer frame is made up of birch plywood to provide strength to the model.

In terms of powering the model, it has a 26" smart pie front-wheel motor and a 36v12.5ah Yose power battery. The scrambler bikes have their gas tanks exposed and since the design is inspired by them, the battery is exposed as well. She has used V-brakes for the bike but with more budget, she intends to change them with a better option. Evie has started a Kickstarter campaign for the Electraply, and you can submit your email to be notified of the availability as well.

12、What function is expected of Electraply?
A. To solve terrible climate changes.
B. To make e-bikes more welcomed.
C. To shorten the time of commuting.

D. To enhance environmental awareness.

13、What can probably replace the underlined word "amalgamate" in paragraph 2?
A. Promote. B. Compare. C. Combine. D. Improve.

14、What can we know about the details of Electraply?
A. Its minimum speed can reach 28 mph.
B. The use of plywood lightens its weight.
C. The wheels of bicycle are designed green.
D. Its design is identical to other sorambler bikes.

15、What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The e-bike is powered by inside batteries.
B. Using V-brakes for the bike is the best choice.
C. The bike is available for those who send emails.
D. Evie will improve V-brakes for the future Electraply.

34、For the initial ten years of his life, Victor was the prince of the household. As he was an only child, his parents petted him and showered all their love and attention on him. Whatever toys his parents bought, they were always meant for him. Whatever food was in the refrigerator, there was no one to compete with him to polish it off first. Victor could leave his toys or books around the house with complete ease of mind, knowing that there was no one who would get their hands on his belongings and cause any damage.

However,all that was to change overnight when Victor's parents brought back his new baby sister, Lina, from the hospital. With her rosy cheeks, wide open eyes and angelic smile, Lina caught the hearts of her parents, grandparents and relatives. Everyone focused their attention on the cute bunch of joy. Whenever she cried, her mother or father would rush to her bed. She simply cried because she wanted to be carried. There was little time left for Victor.

Now that Victor's mother had his baby sister to take care of, she expected Victor himself to do most of the chores he can do. Victor was asked to clean his own room, iron his own school uniform and clean his own shoes. Before Lina's arrival, he had never lifted a finger to help out with these tasks.

On hearing the teacher's feedback. Victor's parents got lost in thought. They realized at once that the sudden change in Victor's behaviour must have been caused by Lina's birth.They guessed Victor might have wrongly believed they did not love him any more. They decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. They explained to him that although Lina demanded more of their time,that did not mean that they loved him any less. They promised Victor they would always be there for him.

Victor realized that his parents still cared for him, He accepted the fact that he was old enough to do many things by himself and should start learning to be independent. He promised his parents he would no longer behave badly simply to attract their attention. From that day on, Victor became a good big brother to Lina. He helped his mother look after Lina whenever she was busy. Victor, Lina and their parents lived together as a happy, loving family.
