Achieving gals and achieving happiness are tw different things. Dreams and gals are imprtant because they help yu measure(衡量) prgress. When yu achieve gals, yu will feel excited and prud at that mment. But prgress is what brings true happiness.
A study in 2011 fund that satisfactin is nt frm big wins, but frm the prgress in meaningful wrk. It seems that humans are ften excited abut imprvement. Fr example, my gal is t save $10,000,but what makes me happy is that I save mre this week than last week.
Sme researchers have argued that when a gal is a true end fr prgress, the sudden stp f mving frward can bring a feeling f emptiness(空虚). As a friend tld me,“I always thught there wuld be n better feeling than the day I saw myself becme the mst ppular best-selling writer. And when it finally happened, I felt nthing.”Wrse than feeling nthing, yu might have a little depressin (沮丧) in the days after a big achievement like winning a prize.
One explanatin fr these prblems has t d with dpamine(多巴胺), which gives us a sense f pleasure when we expect a happy ending. Dpamine rises befre yu achieve a gal and falls afterward.
Hwever, when we fcus n the prcess(过程) and the prgress we make, we find that ur attitude twards gals changes. We begin t see each step as a learning experience, and we learn t celebrate the small wins. This shift helps us t think mre psitively and finally brings us greater happiness. S,next time yu find yurself fcusing n the end gal, remember that true happiness lies in the prgress yu make alng the way.
48. What brings true happiness accrding t the passage?
A. Gals. B. Dreams. C. Prgress. D. Dpamine.
49. What is Paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. Hw peple get a sense f pleasure. B. What prblems achieving gals may cause.
C. Hw peple get away frm emptiness. D. What feelings making prgress can bring.
50. The wrd“shift”in Paragraph 5 prbably means .
A. gal B. wish C. change D. search
51. What is the writer's main purpse(目的) in writing this passage?
A. T intrduce what a meaningful life is like.

“Seal carving experience is nly a starting pint fr peple t learn abut the art in the prcess,and they are free t carve whatever they want. They are giving a new life t traditinal seal carving.”Fang said.“It might nt be a wnderful wrk f seal carving frm a prfessinal pint f view, but it's an authentic(真实的) wrk, and in a way, authenticity is a kind f beauty.”

①Hydrgen(氢) is the lightest element in the wrld, and there's mre hydrgen in the wrld than yu think——fr example, water has hydrgen elements. Sme think it culd be a big deal in the energy industry(能源产业). It burns easily and can pwer things that need a lt f heat. Unlike wd r fssil fuels(化石燃料), it desn't make CO₂ that warms the climate.
②Hydrgen has many uses, frm making plastics t purifying il. When used as energy, it burns cleanly and can replace fssil fuels, reducing greenhuse gas emissins(温室气体排放). Sme cmpanies, like Cleveland-Cliffs in the US, started t use hydrgen as a fuel surce, with plans t mix it with methane(甲烷).
③In this way, the fuel can burn greenhuse gas and leave n pllutin. Hydrgen can als make electricity thrugh chemical reactins(化学反应) between hydrgen and xygen(氧气). The nly thing that cmes after it is water——it's very clean.
④Besides, using hydrgen fr energy is hardly a new idea. Accrding t a study in February 2023,there have been abut 56,000 hydrgen-pwered cars n the rad.
⑤Hydrgen cmes in different frms, and its cleanliness depends n hw it's made. Althugh hydrgen is naturally fund in the wrld, the ne we need fr energy is nt cmmn. Cmpanies have t get hydrgen frm ther surces, mainly frm fssil fuels, which ften causes pllutin.
⑥Hwever, the cleanest,“greenest”way t make hydrgen is pssible, but very expensive. Peple aren't ready t pay a lt f mney fr this. In fact, it is als a big“chicken-and-egg”prblem. Peple wn't buy hydrgen-pwered equipment until hydrgen can be prvided easily and steadily. But cmpanies dn't want t spend t much making that hydrgen unless they can make lts f mney frm it.
56. In which part f a newspaper can yu prbably read this passage?
A. Star Stries. B. Lving Nature. C. Wise Wrds. D. Sci-Tech Zne.
57. What can we knw abut hydrgen?
A. When hydrgen burns in xygen, it makes water and CO₂.
B. Hydrgen can be used in different industries.
C. It's easy and cheap t get hydrgen that we need.
D. Hydrgen has already been widely used t make hydrgen-pwered equipment.
初二英语 第8页(共12页) 58. What des the underlines wrd“this”in Paragraph 6 refer t?
