A
Here are the tips from Sonja Lyubomirsky, author of The How of Happiness, to help you deal with a bad economy, and increase your happiness throughout the day.
1. Avoid Overthinking
In order to remove pessimism when things are difficult , it's best to think positively(积极地). “What can I learn from this? Times are hard, I’ve been out of work over a period of time, but I can spend more time with the kids, take up a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills.”
2. Practice Acts of Kindness
Now more than ever we need each other to stay alive. Lyubomirsky found that doing good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier. Think of practical, everyday offers that make someone’ s life a little bit easier.
3. Focus on Your Relationships
You don’t need an expert to tell you that relationships are important to happiness. Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to meet your kids’ needs can make your family life hard. But the solution is to stop feeling bad and focus on nurturing（培育）your loved ones.
“What parents don’t realize is that kids don’t care about toys but their attitudes towards them” says Lyubomirsky.
4. Pick a Goal
Devote yourself to a project—whether it is a business you want to start or a dance you want to learn. But it’s also important to remember to be flexible (灵活)in these times. Don’t feel down if conditions are stopping you from meeting your goals. Stick to it and change it if necessary!
5. Take Care of Your Body
Spend a small part of your day giving your body some TLC （tender loving care）. It will go a long way in adding to your happiness. “Even if you can’t afford to go to the gym,” Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home.”
46. Which of the following is opposite (反义词) to the underlined word “pessimism”?
A. happiness B. criticism C. devotion D. pressure
47. Which act is a practical one to help people in a bad economy in our daily life?
A. Offering someone a plane trip. B. Offering someone a ride.
C. Offering someone your income. D. Offering someone a car.
48. Which of the following is true according to the tips?
A. It is important for children to be given new toys.
B. There is no time to take up something new as a hobby.
C. Stick to a goal and make necessary changes.
D. It’s unnecessary to take some exercise in a bad economy.
49. What does the passage mainly talk about？
A. How to overcome difficulties in times of trouble.
B. How to start businesses in hard times.
C. How to reach a goal in times of trouble.
D. How to find happiness in hard times.
B
The ships and life jackets(救生衣) were ready. Now I just had to wait for my little brother, Daniel. His lungs had only 40 percent of the breathing capacity（量）of an ordinary teenage boy. Every morning, evening and night, he did some breathing treatments. Daniel was fourteen—only four years younger than me—but I made it my business to look out for him. Friends who were coughing had to stay away until they were well. If not, it would mean a trip to the hospital if Daniel caught a cold. Many people said I was overprotective, but I knew it was my responsibility to keep him healthy. I was like Daniel’s guardian angel（守护神）, though he probably didn’t know it.
I climbed into my seat and waited. When he was breathing better, we made our way past the cliffs（峭壁） that lined the shore．Cliffs rose on either side of us, the water breaking against them. The ocean was mad, but it was no trouble for us with rowing（划桨）experience. We felt surprised at the beauty of the scene—clear blue sky and calm breeze.
“Whoa,” Daniel said, looking up. In minutes the blue sky became windy and dark. Waves hit the shore and our ships went up and down in the wave. I looked back at Daniel to make sure he was okay and he was.
I got a bit too close to a rock on my left side. But before I could move away, a strong wave swept up my ship and pushed me toward the very rock I was trying to avoid. I tried to slow down and keep my balance. But I was headed right for the rock! Suddenly, my ship was ripped（裂开）by the rock from under me. I fell into the water. Everything was white. After my head broke the surface, I looked around but my ship was nowhere to be seen. The waves were too strong. I could hardly move. The water pulled me and pushed me at its will.
I could see my brother 30 yards away. He was just away from the dangerous white water and rocks, still upright, in his ship. If he came closer, he would fall into the water, too. He wouldn't have the strength to fight. But Daniel was already on his way, rowing as fast as he could. I caught hold of the back of his ship. Breathing hard, Daniel pulled me toward the ship. He struggled and could hardly breathe but kept rowing.
Finally my feet touched the shore. It took Daniel a while to get his breath back. We shared a quick hug and we both lay on the shore.
Looking at Daniel, I thought of something.
50. We can learn from the first paragraph that Daniel ________________.
A. has known that his brother will protect him B. will soon go to hospital
C. is well protected by his old brother D. had his lungs operated on
51. According to the passage, the author and Daniel ________________.
A. were both good at rowing B. both did well in swimming
C. were disappointed at the view D. planned to climb the cliffs
52. Why was the author’s ship broken?
A. Because his falling down in the ship made the ship break.
B. Because a strong wind made his ship turn over in water.
C. Because his ship knocked into the shore on his left side.
D. Because his ship hit a rock as a result of a strong wave.
53. We can learn from the last paragraph that ________________.
A. the author also had a guardian angel, his brother
B. a friend in need is a friend indeed
C. rich rowing experience is important
D. the author had the responsibility to protect Daniel

Everyone knows that walking is beneficial to the aging body, but did you know it keeps the mind sharper as well? Research shows that walking can actually increase the connectivity（联系） within brain, which tends to decrease as the grey hairs increase.
“Patterns of connectivity decrease as we get older,” said Dr. Arthur F. Kramer, who led the study team at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
“Networks aren’t as well connected to support the things we do, such as driving,” he said. “But we found as a function（功能）of aerobic（有氧的） fitness, the networks became more reasonably connected.”
Kramer’s walking study, which was published in the journ
