    Most parents and teachers want children to be happy. To that end, parents find themselves doing things for kids to make them happy, like buying gifts, taking them for ice cream, playing games together, or helping with homework.

    Teachers are constantly doing things for children, too, like bringing treats to class, planning fun trips, and supporting students in other immeasurable ways.

    Do acts of kindness toward children make us happier parents and teachers? Of course they do.

    Unfortunately, we don’t make children happy by simply enabling them to be receivers of kindness. We increase their feelings of happiness and well-being by teaching them to be givers of kindness.

    The truth is that children are born to be altruistic. But somewhere between birth and 4th grade, they are socialized to think more about themselves than others.

    How do we change this and improve children’s well-being?

    A recent study, Kindness Counts, conducted by researchers from the University of British Columbia and the University of California, broke new ground by showing the benefits gained by teens when they were taught happiness-increasing skills.

    For a month, several hundred 9-11-year-olds performed and recorded three acts of kindness each week for anyone they wished. Another several hundred kept track of three pleasant places they visited during the week.

    Not surprisingly, the results were consistent with adult studies. When kids performed acts of kindness or took notice of the pleasant places they visited during the week, they significantly increased feelings of happiness and satisfaction.

    But hose who performed acts of kindness received an additional benefit. Measuring how well children were liked or accepted by their peers（同伴）, the study showed those who performed acts of kindness gained an average of 1.5 friends during the four-week period ---- good support for the idea that “nice guys finish first.”

    1.What do most parents and teachers do to make children happy?

    A. Do good deeds for them.

    B. Take them to see funny things.

    C. Teach them the secret of happiness.

    D. Develop their happiness-increasing skills.

    2.The underlined word “altruistic” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “ ”.

    A. optimistic B. energetic

    C. curious D. generous

    3.What can be concluded from the study?

    A. Children can change their attitude easily.

    B. Happy people are likely to do good deeds.

    C. Acts of kindness are the key to happiness.

    D. Visits to places lead to much more happiness.

    4.What does the underlined part “additional benefit” in the last paragraph refer to?

    A. Winning support from teachers.

    B. Broadening their social circle.

    C. Showing respect for others.

    D. Getting higher test scores.

    Glacier Bay is one of the most famous parks in America, located in the state of Alaska. This park in the southeastern part of the state covers more than 1 million hectares of Alaskan wilderness. It includes mountains, glaciers (冰川), bays, and even rainforests. Glacier Bay supports hundreds of kinds of animals, including many species of birds, fish, bears, whales and sea lions.

    As its name suggests, much of Glacier Bay National Park is covered by glaciers. A glacier is a large area of ice that moves slowly down a slope (斜坡) or valley, or over a wide area of land. Glaciers cover more than 5,000 square kilometers of the park.

    Glacial ice has shaped the land over the last seven million years. The glaciers found in the park today are what remains from an ice advance known as the Little Ice Age. That period began about 4,000 years ago.

    During the Little Ice Age, the cold weather caused the ice to grow and advance. That situation continued until about 1,700s, when the climate began to warm. The higher temperatures caused the ice to start melting. That melting led the huge glacier to separate into more than 1,000 different glaciers.

    The extremely tall and jagged (参差不齐的) mountains seen in Glacier Bay National Park were formed by the ice advancing and then melting over time. The melting of the ice also created water that filled in and created the many fjords (峡湾) within the park. Fjords are narrow parts of the ocean that sit between cliffs or mountains.

    The huge amount of water from the melted ice killed off many kinds of plants. Vegetation returned to the area over the next 200 years. The regrowth in plants also brought back many animals to the land. This return of life to Glacier Bay is why it is sometimes called “a land reborn” by people.

    1.What is mentioned in Paragraph 1?

    A. The function of Glacier Bay.

    B. The climate of Glacier Bay.

    C. The area of Alaskan wilderness.

    D. The number of animals in Glacier Bay.

    2.What happened to Glacier Bay during the Little Ice Age?

    A. Many slopes or valleys came into being.

    B. The glaciers grew and advanced.

    C. Different glaciers became a whole one.

    D. The fjords became narrow.

    3.What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?

    A. How the water killed off the plants.

    B. When vegetation returned to Glacier Bay.

    C. What the relationship between plants and animals is.

    D. Why Glacier Bay is sometimes called “a land reborn”.
