13．Telling fewer lies benefits people physically and mentally．Anita Kelly，study author and professor of psychology at the University of Notre Dame，recruited 110adults for her study．She divided them into two groups and asked one group to stop lying for 10weeks．Lies included big ones and tiny ones-any false statement-but participants were still allowed to leave out the truth，keep secrets and avoid questions they didn't want to answer，etc．The other group wasn't given any special instructions about lying．
It turns out that both groups reduced their lying，but those who were specifically told to tell the truth improved their health more．"We found that the participants could purposefully and dramatically reduce their everyday lies，and that in turn was associated with significantly improved health，"said Kelly．
When participants in the no-lie group told three fewer white lies than they did in other weeks，they experienced，on average，fewer mental-health complaints and physical complaints．They were less likely to feel tense or sad and also experienced fewer sore throats and headaches．They also reported that personal relationships improved．Additionally，participants found themselves being honest about their daily accomplishments，and they stopped making up excuses for being late or failing to complete a task，for example．
"It's certainly a worthy goal to have people be more honest and interact with others in a more honest way，"says psychologist Robert Feldman．"That would be beneficial．I'm a little doubtful that it makes us all healthier，but it may make us healthier in a psychological way．"

72．Which of the following is true according to the text？C．
A．People who tell lies are healthier than those who don't

D．Participants involved are asked not to keep secrets
73．The participants of the two groupsC．
A．told as many lies as before
B．were almost equally healthy
C．tended to lie less about their activities

B．honesty is likely to help people become mentally healthier
C．people should not be honest with others but with themselves
D．telling the truth can make people physically and mentally healthy

9．Janelle was running late for work，so she just had time for a quick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out．What she saw there made her stop dead in her tracks．
Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years，she wasn't exactly obsessive-compulsive（有强迫观念和行为的） about the neatness of her clothes．But her boss at the restaurant where she works saw things a little differently．He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance，and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean，unwrinkled blouses．As an assistant manager，Janelle felt it was important to set an example for the other employees．But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally，she would be late-and work without delay was an area of even greater concern to her boss．
So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat．Carefully holding her blouse away from her body，she continued to iron it while she was wearing it．It seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem．
And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the collar and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake．Then it suddenly seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well．It took more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her shirt properly．And she spent a miserable shift dealing with the pain of the burn．
We've all been there，haven't we？For me it was cutting my own hair．For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wisdom teeth．For another college acquaintance，it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running．
"There's a right way and a wrong way of doing things，"Dad used to tell me whenever I'd spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster，easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn．"If a thing is worth doing，"he said，"it's worth doing it right．"There's a reason why certain things are done in certain ways．Those old，boring，predictable ways work．

24．Jenelle found in the mirror thatB．
A．there were stains on her blouse
B．her blouse was wrinkled
C．she wore heavy makeup
D．she put on a wrong blouse
25．It's learned from Paragraph 2thatD．
A．Jenelle had no sense of responsibility at work
B．Jenelle failed to set an example for employees in daily work
C．Jenelle didn't care about the neatness of her clothes at all
D．Jenelle's boss put doing something on time above appearance
26．What can we infer from Paragraph5？A
A．We all have done loads of things like Janelle．
B．We are careful enough in daily life．
C．We all have done something creative．
D．We all have tried to iron clothes while we are wearing them．
27．What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph？D
A．Be creative and novel．
B．A bad beginning makes a bad ending．
C．Stick to old patterns．
D．Do things right．

8．When you learn reading，nlath，and other subjects taught in school from your parents or teaehers who come to your house，it's called homeschooling．A kid may be the only one，or he may be taught with brothers，sisters，or kids from the neighborhood．
Parents choose to homeschool their children for many different reasons．Sometimes a kid is sick and can't go to regular school．But more often，kids are homeschooled beeause their parents feel they can give their children a better education than the local school can．Patents also may choose homeschooling because they want their children's education to include religious （宗教的） instruction，which isn't offered at puhlie schools．
If you don't like school，homeschooling might seem like the perfect solution．But it's better for everyone if homeschooling isn't chosen just as an escape from school or prohlems there．Finding solutions to the problem should be the first step．
Kids who are homeschooled may benefit from the one-on-one attention．For example，if you don't understand something in math，the whole class won't he moving on without you．You might be the whole class!It's also possible that you might learn more than you would in a regular classroom，because if you really good at something，you can keep learning more at your own pace．
Kids who are homeschooled also may get out in their communities more than other kids．They may get to experience hands-on education at museums，libraries，businesses and other community resources．They also might volunteer or take part in"service learning"where they take on local projects．
No matter where a child goes to school，the key to learning is listening to the teacher and asking for help when you need it．A homeschooled child might feel more comfortable with his teacher （a parent），but the child still needs to pay attention and cooperate．Just like in a traditional school，teachers and students need to work together to achieve goals in the classroom．

64．The passage mainly tells usB．
A．every kid should be taught at home
B．what homeschooling is and how it works
C．the advantages and disadvantages of homeschooling
D．homeschooled kids should go out to do volunteer work
65．What does the author think of homeschooling？C
A．It shouldn't be encouraged at all．
B．It is not a good way to get educated．

D．It is only good for the kids who can't go to school．
66．The similarity of homeschooling and learning at school is thatA．
A．students all should cooperate with their teachers
B．students don't feel lonely
C．students all have many classmates
D．studenls all have more opportunities to get out
67．Which of the following should NOT belong to the reasons why kids get homeschooled？D
A．They can get more benefits from homeschooling．
B．They can't go to school because of their bad health．

18．Does money buy happiness？Not!Ah，but would a little more money make us a little happier？Many of us smirk（傻笑，假笑） and nod．There is，we believe，some connection between financial fitness and emotional fulfillment．Three in four American college students-nearly double the 1970 proportion-now consider it"very important"or"essential"that they become"very well off financially"．Money matters．
But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where nearly everyone can afford life's necessities，increasing wealth matters surprisingly little．The connection between income and happiness is"surprisingly weak，"observed University of Michigan researcher Ronald Inglehart in one 16-nation study of 170，000people．Once comfortable，more money provides diminishing returns（报酬递减）．The second piece of pie，or the second﹩100，000，never tastes as good as the first．Even lottery winners and the Forbes'100 wealthiest Americans surveyed by University of Illinois psychologist Ed Diener have expressed only slightly greater happiness than the average American．Making it big brings temporary joy．But in the long run wealth is like health：its complete absence can create suffering，but having it doesn't guarantee happiness．Happiness seems less a matter of getting what we want than of wanting what we have．
Has our happiness，however，floated upward with the rising economic tide？Are we happier today than in 1940s，when two out of five homes lacked a shower or tub？Actually，we are not．Since 1957，the number of Americans who say they are"very happy"has declined from 35 to 32 percent．Meanwhile，the divorce rate has doubled，the teen suicide（自杀） rate has increased nearly three times，the violent crime rate has gone up nearly four times，and depression has mushroomed．Economic growth has provided no boost to human morale．When it comes to psychological well being，it is not the economy．
I call this soaring wealth and shrinking spirit"the American paradox．"More than ever，we have big houses and broken homes，high incomes and low confidence，secured rights and reduced civility．We are good at making a living but often fail at making a life．We celebrate our prosperity（繁荣） but long for a purpose．We treasure our freedoms but long for connection．In an age of plenty，we feel spiritual hunger．

63．Which of the following statements best expresses the author's view？C
A．The more money we earn，the less returns we have．
B．The more money we earn，the happier we would be．
C．In the long run，money cannot guarantee happiness．
D．In the long run，happiness grows with economy．
64．"The second﹩100，000 never tastes as good as the first"becauseD．

B．it is not so important as the first﹩100，000
C．profit brought by it is less than that from the first﹩100，000
D．happiness brought by it is less than that from the first﹩100，000
65．According to the passage，people do well in making a living but don'tC．
A．have any primary aim
B．know how to spend money
C．know how to enjoy life
D．keep in touch with other people
66．The things that happened after 1957are given to show thatA．
A．people's spiritual needs cannot be fulfilled by wealth
B．family problems become more and more serious
C．young people are not happy about their life

5．While applying to college may seem easy，getting in can be tough!When you apply for college，you will have to be honest with yourself and do a bit of research to find the right fit．Here are three steps to take when applying to colleges for the best chances at getting into the best college for you．
     Step l：Making A List Of Colleges To Apply To
     With over 6，000 colleges in the United States，the
first step in applying to college is to do some research
and make a college list．This process will be different for
everyone．The number of colleges you apply to can vary，
from applying to 1 school （not recommended） to 30
schools （not recommended），each applicant can choose
how many colleges they apply to．Many limit the number because applications are accompanied by a fee．．
     Step2：Splitting The List Into Target，Reach and Safety Schools
     In general，students will want to apply to three types of schools：Target，Reach and Safety schools．It is up to you how many applications you send，but a good mix would be more target than reach，and at least one safety．You will need to take your list，and now decide which are your top picks，which are attainable for you academically，which are affordable for you only with aid，and refine your broad list into a group of schools that gives you the best chance for success．Talk to an admissions counselor at your high school if you have questions about this．
     Step 3：Completing and Sending Applications to Colleges
     Once your list is complete you are ready to apply to college by completing and sending in applications!College applications take time to complete-you have to write essays，ask for recommendations and get test scores sent to schools-so stay organized！All colleges will require these types of application materials，so start thinking about these items well before October or December．Once you complete and send them，then you have successfully applied to college．
66．It can be learned from the first paragraph thatA．
A．you should be cautious to pick up the right college
B．you don't have to think twice before applying to college
C．once you apply to a college，you'll be admitted to it easily
D．each applicant should choose the best college for their ideal
67．To make a list of colleges，youB．
A．should consider more Safety schools
B．had better take your academy into account
C．are supposed to choose merely one most fit
D．are required to pick out more than 30 colleges
68．Which of the following statements is WRONG？C
A．One should clarify the list according to one's abilities．
B．Refer to admissions counselor at high school if necessary．
C．One doesn't have to send his test scores to the intended college．
D．Teachers'recommendations are included in application materials．
69．We can conclude from the text thatC．
A．each applicant has the right to apply to any colleges for free
B．the more college one chooses，the more successful he will be
C．applicants should send required materials before the deadline
D．safety schools are those that don't have so many requirements
70．The text is mainly aboutB．
A．how to succeed in life
B．how to apply to college
C．how to ask for information
D．how to do a research in college．

2．Don't invite crime-take basic，sensible precautions．Your house and possession are valuable and must be properly protected．When you buy a lock，you buy time．The best prevention is delay and noise which could mean discovery．
When you leave it-lock it!
First of all，fit security locks to all doors and windows and a safety chain on the front door．Secondly，use them!
If you have any ladders or tools，don't leave them lying about in the garden，lock them away．
"Safe"or"secret"places for keys and valuables are not reliable-nine times out of ten，they are the first place a thief will look．
When you move house…
When you move into a new home even if it is fitted with security locks，change them．You don't know who else may have keys．
Never let strangers into your house．An official-looking cap is not enough，ask for proof of identity and look at it carefully-if you are still not satisfied，don't let the person in．
Valuables need special protection
Valuables should really be given special protection-preferably by leaving them with your bank．A small security safe works too，but not to the most determined burglar．It is also important to keep an up-to-date list of valuables and their descriptions．In the case of fine art，paintings，or jewelry，color photographs can sometimes be of assistance to the police if you are unfortunate enough to have them stolen．Enter the details on the back of the pictures．But don't keep such documents in your house，keep them at the bank or with your insurance company．
Going on holiday？
Don't talk about your holidays and future plans loudly in public．Do remember to cancel the milk and newspapers and also to draw curtains back．
Operate a"Good Neighbor"program to ensure that mail is taken in，the house is checked regularly and that lights are put on．
Call at your local police station and tell them you are going away．Make sure that they know how to contact you in case of trouble．
Don't leave cash or valuables in the house-take them with you or put them in the bank．
55．When moving into a new house，you are supposed toB．
A．buy a safe
B．change the locks
C．visit your neighbors
D．stay away from strangers
56．Which is the safest way to protect your valuables？B
A．Taking pictures of your valuables．
B．Keeping your valuables at the bank．
C．Putting your valuables in your safe．
D．Giving a list of your valuables to the police．
57．When you are away for holidays，youC．
A．should cancel your mail
B．shouldn't leave your keys to your neighbors
C．shouldn't make it known that your home is empty
D．should ask the police to check your house regularly
58．What is the purpose of the passage？D

B．To introduce the advantages of banks．
C．To prove the importance of security locks．
D．To educate people on prevention of burglars．
