Do you want to improve your quality of life? Here is some advice.
1.Make it a point to do something brave every day. 1. This might mean talking to someone that you generally wouldn't talk to or starting a project that you feel afraid of. There is no need to plan it in advance.
2.Learn something new. Pick a topic, especially something you know nothing about and learn something about it. 2. It helps to keep it if you have time to make a note of what you learned.
3.Debate something. If you think you know about something, nothing will prove it like arguing(辩论)it with someone who's smarter than you. 3. This is easier said than done, but it can provide you with some of the best possible ideas.
4.Spend time with a child. 4. If you don't, I'm sure you have friends who would be happy to let you borrow theirs for a few minutes. It doesn't matter what age they are, children see the world entirely different. Look at it from their eyes. Enjoy the simple things again.
5.Recognize what makes you happy. 5. Everyone is working towards something, but what makes you happy now? Think of it and try to add more of what made you happy yesterday to today.
A.If you have one, consider yourself lucky.
B.Talking with little children keeps you young.
C.Actually, happiness is a true feeling from our heart!
D.Find a friend you can debate with who has different ideas.
E.Look back to the parts of your day that bring you real happiness.
F.A good source of new information for this can be the newspaper.
G.Step out of your comfort zone and leave the routine(惯例)for a second.

Ask a teacher to name the most annoying invention of recent years and they will often mention the mobile phone. Disturbed by the problems they create, many head teachers have ordered that pupils should keep their phones switched off at school. Others have told pupils to leave them at home.
However, education researchers at The University of Nottingham believe it is time that phone bans were reassessed, because mobile phones can be a powerful learning aid, they say. Dr Elizabeth Hartnell-Young and her colleagues have reached this conclusion after studying the consequences of allowing pupils in five secondary schools to use either their own mobile phones or the new generation of ‘smartphones’ in lessons.
During the nine-month experiment, 14- to 16-year-old pupils used the phones for a wide range of educational purposes, including creating short movies, setting homework reminders, recording a teacher reading a poem, and timing experiments with the phones’ stopwatches. The smartphones, which could be connected to the Internet, also allowed pupils to access revision websites, log into the school email system, or transfer (转存) electronic files between school and home.
The research involved 331 pupils in schools in Cambridgeshire, West Berkshire and Nottingham. “At the start of the study, even pupils were often surprised at the thought that mobile phones could be used for learning,” Dr Hartnell-Young said. “After their hands-on experience, almost all pupils said they had enjoyed the project and felt more inspired.”
Some teachers found that pupils who lacked confidence gained most from the project. However, they recognised that greater use of mobile phones in schools could cause problems.
1.We can infer from the first paragraph that .
A. teachers are strongly against students owning mobile phones
B. mobile phones should be developed to meet students’ needs
C. students are free to use their mobile phones at school
D. mobile phones are usually forbidden to be used at school
2.When the students first used mobile phones for learning, they .
A. all enjoyed the project very much
B. didn’t know what they were used for
C. didn’t fully realize the learning functions of mobile phones
D. were surprised that they were allowed to use mobile phones in schools
3.Who benefited most from the project?
A. Older pupils. B. Pupils who were not confident.
C. Younger pupils. D. Pupils who were confident.
4.The purpose of the text is to tell us that .
A. mobile phones can actually help students learn
B. mobile phones begin to be widely used in schools
C. too much use of mobile phones in schools can cause problems
D. the mobile phone is considered the most annoying invention of recent years

The Eurotunnel is a tunnel(隧道) which crosses the Channel under the sea, linking France and the UK. It is about 50.5 km long and 38km lies under the seabed. There are trains which carry passengers and cars, and others which carry carriages or other heavier vehicles(车辆), as well as goods.
The construction of the tunnel started in 1986, with a cost of almost 10 billion pounds. It was opened in 1994 but was not financially successful until 2007, because of the high interest rates (利率) the company had to pay the banks, as well as low earnings from passengers and goods.
The Eurotunnel is a very convenient way of traveling between the two countries as the journey is quick (less than one hour), cheap, and comfortable. You can go with your car, motorbike or bike. The tunnel operates every day, round the clock. At the busiest times there are up to three shuttle departures (班次) per hour. There are facilities(设施)for disabled passengers and for babies at the two terminals (终点站).
The Eurotunnel, also commonly known as the Channel Tunnel, Eurochannel and Eurochunnel is environmentally friendly. It perfects its sources of energy through its use of renewable energy with the result that, by 2008, it had reduced its greenhouse gas emissions(排量) by 45%. In addition, 50% of the waste produced is recycled.
The future of the Eurotunnel seems promising, although some people who have the fear of enclosed(与外界隔绝的)spaces will never use this type of transportation. There have been some problems with snow storms like the one in the winter of the 2009 which have made the services stop for a period of time, leaving passengers in the tunnel for more than 15 hours without light, heating, food or drink, inside an unmoving train under the sea. Some of the passengers reacted very badly and decided not to use this means of transport again.
1.Why was the Eurotunnel not financially successful at first? ______.
A. It was free for passing trains
B. Many people disliked it
C. Its operating cost was very high
D. It was heavily in debt
2.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? ______.
A. The wonderful design of the Eurotunnel
B. A traveling guide to the Eurotunnel
C. The advantages of the Eurotunnel
D. An introduction of the Eurotunnel’s equipment
3.We can learn from the text that the Eurotunnel ______.
A. used environmentally friendly energy
B. was completely built under the seabed
C. was designed for passenger trains only
D. operated successfully without any accident
4.What is the author’s attitude towards the Eurotunnel? ______.
A. Cautious B. Optimistic
C. Negative D. Doubtful

I returned home the other night, tired. My husband asked me how my evening was, “Great.” I told him. I had spent 90 minutes in a gym with 10 Ping-Pong tables and all kinds of players, all playing a little ball over the net. By 9 pm, I was excited, tired, satisfied. I had beaten two young men half my age and lost battles against other competitors. To an observer, the night was common. To me, it was a lucky thing that I hadn’t expected.
I had taken up Ping-Pong during college, and in my 30s took more advanced lessons. However, a serious accident hurt my leg, which made me unable to take exercise. Months later, I tried to play Ping-Pong but my leg pained for a week. I put the game out of my mind.
When I was 53, one day my bad leg was working a little bit better. Could Ping-Pong be possible for me, now---in my condition, at my age? I tried to play Ping-Pong again
Ping-Pong is a sport which requires endurance(耐力). Players need quick foot work and upper body movements to return balls, requiring faster response time than tennis.
Playing Ping-Pong offers benefits for the brain. A study of 164 women aged 60 and older showed that Ping-Pong improved cognitive(认知)function more than dancing, walking or gymnastics. “The great thing about our sport is that it can be played by anyone,” said Jimmy Butler, a four-time national USA Table Tennis Association winner. “I see 90-year-olds and 10-year-olds.”
Years passed and my endurance improved. People started to praise my shots. I won a game. Then I won agin. These days, I feel wonderful, I believe this sport is the fountain (源泉)of youth.
1.What can we know about the author from the first paragraph?
A. She was satisfied with herself that evening
B. She felt disappointed when losing battles
C. She lost battles against two young men
D. She was the best player in the gym
2.What sport can improve cognitive function more effectively?
A. Dancing B. Walking
C. Ping-Pong D. Gymnastics
3.What’s a big advantage about Ping-Pong sport according to Jimmy Butler?
A. It is good for the brain
B. It can be played by anyone
C. It can build up people’s muscles
D. It can improve people’s endurance
4.What’s the best title for the text?
A. My Battle with My Illness
B. A Life-changing Accident
C. My Wonderful Evening Exercise
D. Ping-Pong: the Fountain of Youth
