    【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
    Dear John,
    My name is Amber and I want to share my story with you because what you've shared about life and positive energy has changed my life. This past year has been one of the hardest for me. I felt I was stuck in a position that had nothing to do with what I wanted to do with my life. In January, after two years of being together, my boyfriend left me.
    I read your blog every morning as I drink my coffee at work, but it wasn't until this March that I told myself "no more negativity" as you taught readers in your blog.
    Since then I've got into new habits at work to keep my energy positive. When people walk in the front door, I'm the first face they see, so I smile big when I say "good morning" to them, especially on Mondays. Instead of waiting for someone to ask me for help, I offer it with an open mind. The CEO noticed my change and offered me the executive assistant position that I wanted.
    One of the biggest things I've taken to heart from your blog is changing my opinions on my job. Yes, it was not an important position, but when I was passionate （热情的） about it, I could make my life fulfilling.
    All in all, I have to thank you somehow for having the passion to help others because it truly is inspiring to me. So thank you so much, John. My life has changed because your words pointed me in the right direction, Take care!
    Sincerely ,
    Amber

    【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
    While dog keepers realize their dogs can read their moods accurately,scientists have always been a little doubtful.Now thanks to some researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna,Austria,we finally have some convincing evidence.
    For their study,biologist Corson Miller and his team exposed eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy.Half the dogs were rewarded for touching the screen when shown a happy face,while the other half got their treat for selecting those that appeared angry.
    Interestingly,the dogs were not provided with the entire face.Some dogs were shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves.That's because the scientists believe humans show their emotions on their entire face.
    After some training like how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expressions,the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face.The researchers concluded the dogs were smart enough to read human emotions.
    They also found those being trained to read angry expressions took a longer time to learn.They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting,causing them to withdraw quickly.However,once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewarded,the trepidation seemed to disappear.In fact,the dogs had such a good time playing the computer "game" that scientists had a hard time keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was completed.
    The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctl. Since the touchscreen models were all females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies-dogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the same gender as their owner.
    （1）How did the scientists conduct the experiment?
    A.By mixing the selected dogs together.
    B.By leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry.
    C.By showing digital pictures of women's happy or angry faces.
    D.By rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen.
    （2）Which of the following statements is TRUE about the dogs in the study?
    A.The dogs were not all provided with the entire face.
    B.The dogs couldn't read strangers facial emotions.
    C.According to their size,the dogs were given either upper or lower halves.
    D.The dogs could make out small changes accompanying facial expressions.
    （3）The underlined word "trepidation" in Paragraph 5 probably means _________ .
    A.curiosity
    B.horror
    C.excitement
    D.doubt
    （4）How might the results change if the dogs with female owners are shown pictures of male faces?
    A.They would be scared away at the sight of the pictures.
    B.They found it easy to tell the emotions on the entire face.
    C.They could only tell emotions on partial faces rather than on entire faces.
    D.They found it hard to tell the moods on the faces of a different gender.

    【题目】What makes a person a giver or a taker? The idea of “give versus take” takes shape in all relationships of our lives. We're either giving advice, making time for people, or we're on the receiving end. We alternate between the two based on different situations we face on a daily basis, it not an hourly one.

    According to Adam Grant, a professor at Pennsylvania University, most people are matchers. They make careful observations on takers and make it a point for them to pay something back. They hate to see people who act so generously towards others without receiving any reward. Actually, most matchers will try to promote and support givers so that they can get the good they deserve.

    Another professor named Hannah Rile Bowles, from Harvard University, led a study on the idea. She asked 200 senior managers to sit down in pairs where one person would act as the boss and the other as an employee to negotiate salary promotions. Male employees asked for an average salary of $146 k while the females asked for only $141 k. But why did they not bargain as hard as the men? Simply because they were more likely to be givers.

    As a woman, I do enjoy the act of giving up my time, my knowledge and my care and attention to others. I don't expect anything in return, but I do tend to pull myself away when I feel like I'm being taken for granted. I also tend to get upset when I see a loved one's continuous actions of kindness go unnoticed. So it's safe to say I'm 50% giver,35% matcher and 15% taker.

    I do know someone, however, who is 99% giver. They’re devoting their time, sharing valuable insights and going out of their way for everyone who crosses their path. Although they've changed the lives of many people, they rarely see any of it returned. But the universe is slowly repaying them; they’re now extremely successful, well known for what they do.

    【1】In Adam Grant’s opinion, most people .

    A. prefer giving to taking

    B. prefer taking to giving

    C. tend to depend on others

    D. tend to balance between giving and taking

    【2】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?

    A. Cheer myself up. B. Give up on myself.

    C. Stay away deliberately. D. Force myself to move forward.

    【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

    A. No good deed goes undone.

    B. People who give are worth respecting.

    C. Giving is the shortest path to success.

    D. Sharing is the greatest human quality.

    【题目】根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
    A new article in The Wall Street Journal has given us a deeper understanding of the relationship between what we earn and how we feel.Well,not true.People with higher incomes are happier than those who struggle to get by.To put a smile on your face with your money,you need to spend it strategically.Here are some ways to better spend your bank notes.
    Buy experiences,not material things.
    People think that experiences are only going to provide temporary happiness,but they actually provide both more happiness and more lasting value that help you better manage your life.

    Anything you buy,including a product you think is special will become just another object.Buying small things can give us frequent small pleasures that are different each time they occur,as they forestall（抢先）adaptation.

    It's also important to consider how what you're buying will affect how you spend your time.For example,you may have to spend a very long time on the road if you get a big house in the suburb,which will totally lower overall life satisfaction.
    Try giving it away.
    Elizabeth Dunn,associate professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia in Canada,found that in countries as diverse as Canada,South Africa and Uganda,giving away money consistently made people happier. A.Buy what you like.
    B.Be sure to buy time,too.
    C.More money,more smiles?
    D.Money can't buy happiness,right?
    E.Buy lots of little things,rather than one big thing.
    F.With no much money to spare,people tend to stick to material goods.
    G.This was even true for people who were ly poor themselves.
