I come from a broken family, experiencing my parents' divorce and remarriages. After we grew up, my three siblings and I could go years without speaking. And that is where this story begins.

My sister Jeanne and I were born only 14 months apart, but by the time we were teenagers we had lost touch. By age 19, I couldn't wait to move away from our home in Wisconsin to live on a farm in Virginia, where I worked as a vet assistant. Jeanne got married at 18, moved to Chicago, and became - well, I didn't know what. We lived separate lives in separate states, and our connection somewhat ended.

When I was 24, I was on a trip to New York City for sightseeing one day, I was crossing a very busy street loaded with people. Everyone was in a hurry. I had laughed at something and I suddenly heard my name yelled from somewhere behind me: “Cheryl!" I froze in my steps in the middle of the road. Tears welled up instantly in my eyes. I knew without a doubt that it was my sister Jeanne. I yelled before even turning to look.“Jeanne?”

It was her.“Oh my God!" I screamed, and I began pushing people out of my way to get to her. The crowd started to pert. We must have seemed crazy. And there we were, standing in the middle of a Manhattan street, facing each other and smiling. I couldn't believe it.

I later asked how she'd known it was me - she never saw me! She said it was my laugh. I wouldn't say my laugh is all that unusual, but I guess to a family member it's infectious. It hits your heart and resonates in your mind.

Since that time, my sister and I have never been separated. We both moved back to Wisconsin. I see our sister-to-sister miracle as a lesson, a reminder not to lose touch with loved ones. It is too easy to remain lost.

24. Why Jeanne and Cheryl were separated?

A. Because they both grew up. 

B. Because they wanted to escape from the family.

C. Because they were not willing to keep in touch.

D. Because they hated each other very much.

25. How did Jeanne recognize Cheryl in a crowd?

A. by her laugh.        B. by her talk.       C. by her look.         D. by her dress.

26. What can we infer after these two sisters met in New York?

A. They saw it as a miracle.         B. They moved back to Wisconsin.

C. They remained lost easily.        D. They cherished their sisterhood.

27. Where is this text most likely from?

A. A diary. .    B. A guidebook        C. A novel.     D. A magazine.

I used to think that the most effective way to resist depression (抑郁) was to have my heart set on happiness. If you valued happiness instead of sorrow as your goal, I thought, one would not suffer from depression.

However, a study, carried out among students living in the UK, found those who said they valued happiness extremely highly tended to show greater signs of depression.

Vogt and colleagues presented 151 students, the majority of them female, with a series of online questionnaires, These examined attitudes from how much they valued happiness to how much their emotions affected them, how easy they found it to put aside emotions, and their levels of depression-related symptoms.

The results, published in the Journal of Happiness Studies, reveal that those who valued happiness more had higher scores for symptoms of depression. The reason is in part because individuals become distracted by their feelings and a lower ability to reframe thoughts or experiences. It is also in part because. of bottling up emotions. “Suppression is not considered a successful emotional regulation strategy because when you try not to think of something you think of it all the time," said Vogt.

While Vogt said the study cannot prove that valuing happiness too much causes symptoms of depression, she said it was highly possible. She also noted that in Russia and east Asian countries the opposite trend had been found.

However, the study has limitations - including that it mainly involved women and did not account for the health or socioeconomic status or participants, although all were young and at university.

28. What did the study find?

A. If you value happiness, you won't get upset. 

B. The goal of happiness leads to depression.

C. Negative :emotions affects one's happiness.

D. Female college students are easier to become depressed.

29. What are the reasons causing depression in people according to the passage EXCEPT?

A. They are distracted by their feelings.       B. They fail to adjust their thought.

C. They welcome every kind of emotions.     D. They think about happiness all the time.

30. What does the underlined word “suppression” mean?

A. expression      B. hiding         C. value        D. happiness

31. What is the author's attitude towards the study?

A. objective            B. indifferent          C. supportive        D. critical

D

About 450 million years ago, animals made one of the most important decisions in Earth's history: They left the wet sea and started living on the dry land. At that moment, humanity's problems with superbugs (超级细菌) probably began. Scientists at the Broad Institute have found evidence that an important group of antibiotic-resistant (耐药性) bacteria are as old as animals themselves.“These bugs likely lived in the very first creatures that were out of the sea and came onto land,” says Ashlee Earl, who co-led the study.

During that time, these superbugs seem to have picked up characteristics that .helped them live in hospitals and even the most common antibiotics, like penicillin. “These bugs became part of these creatures' stomach bacteria," Earl adds. The superbug we're talking is a little guy called Enterococci. And it's the godfather of superbugs. Today Enterococci bacteria have become. a: major source of hospital infections. They, sicken nearly 70, 000 and. kill more than 1,000 each year in U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.

“Why, out of the thousand species of bacteria that live in our stomach, have Enterococci become a superbug?" Earl wondered. To figure it out, she sequenced(排序) the genomes of 24 species of Enterococci found in the stomach of all sorts of animals, from bees and pigeons to human and fish. When she looked at what those genes do, Earl quickly realized Enterococci’s secret weapon: “Basically, it's like the. bacteria put on a tough suit." Many of these special genes are involved in hardening the bacteria's cell wall.“They help make the bacteria able to withstand drying out and exposure to disinfectants(消毒剂)”

“Remember, these are bacteria that live in the stomach of animals, but. sometimes they are out in waste." When the waste happens in the ocean, the bacteria end up in an environment that's not too different than. an animal's stomach, wet and filled with nutrients. But when bacteria are. out onto; land, they find themselves in a much harder environment. They are exposed to U.V. light, starving and drying up. So, to survive, they needed to develop this tough suit.

32. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. Hospitals are fighting against superbugs fiercely.

B. It is possible that superbugs can be defeated in the near future.

C. Superbugs can be traced back to ancient land animals.

D. Humans have lived with superbugs for a long time.

33. What makes Enterococci not subject to disinfectants?

A. the harsh environment            B. the hard 'cell wall

C. the evolution of Enterococci       D. the abundant nutrients

34. What can we learn from Enterococci when they lived in the sea?

A. They had a comfortable life then.  B. They tended to protect themselves from starving.

C. They developed a tough suit.      D. They depended on the sea animals.

35. What is the purpose of writing this passage?

A. To introduce the concept of superbugs.   B. To explain the changing living environment.

C. To compare the gut bacteria with Enterococci. D. To inform the origination of-superbugs.
