A

I was selfish as a teenager．I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs．I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college．I let my mom and dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books, played, and lost myself in my own imagination．This didn't change even when I went to college either．I studied hard but only to make my own life better． Even when I started to explore my faith, it was only to increase my own happiness．

I married after graduation and decided to start a family．Of course, I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul．Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way．l found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people．In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me．

Still,I didn't give up on happiness．I knew that there must be a way to find it．I finally realized, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires．The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born．I got a bottle and held him in my arms．As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes．I smiled and talked to him．Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing, expanding with love．I felt such peace and joy．At that moment I had a hint of the truth: it is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness．

Carolyn Arends wrote："The more people you let into your heart, the bigger your heart gets．The more love you get, the more love you have to give．It just keeps growing." So, keep loving, keep living and keep caring. Keep growing your heart today, tomorrow, and always．

If a family member blames you for something you have done, it is important to be careful about how you defend yourself. It is not a good idea to use ways that cause hurt, even if they would help you make a valid point. If you can think of an instance where the other person has done exactly what they accuse you of, for example, it would not be good manners to throw it in their face. You should only bring it up if you don’t have a choice. Then, you should make sure that you do it respectfully.

Even if a family member intentionally goes against reasonable wishes you may have, you should understand that people see even the most fundamental things in very different ways. Remember that people are different. If you consider any noise after midnight to be intolerable, for example, others may see it is completely acceptable. It can take them a great deal of time to change their behavior for a demand that they do not understand.

Think about the family conflicts that you are worried about now. Check to see if your parents had similar problems. People who grow up with parents who fight unfairly often repeat the same behavior. Consider changing the unfair habits that you grew up with.

Understand that memories tend to change. In long-standing family disputes, all parties involved tend to have completely different recollections of the original problem.

Families are a curious concept — while family members often feel nothing but annoyed for one another, they will also often be there for them if they should ever be in serious trouble. When you feel resentment for someone, think about how far you would go for them if they happened to be in trouble. It could help soften you. Think about how you care for the other person.

25. Which of the following does the author agree with according to the first paragraph?

A. To fight back to defend yourself.

B. To target the problem, not the person.

C. To deal with a man as he deals with you.

D. To hurt each other when angry.

26. What does the underlined word “resentment” in the last paragraph mean?

A Curiosity.B. Kindness.C. Concern.D. Anger.

27. Which of the following statements may the author approve of?

A. Family members share the same memories over family disputes.

B. Parents should set a good example in a family.

C. It’s easy for people to agree on different ideas.

D. You can defend yourself by throwing facts back.

28. What is the best title of the passage ?

A. Think about how you care for other persons.

B. Learn to concern about family members.

C. How to deal with family conflicts wisely.

D. Learn to accept each other in a family.

C

In a recent series of experiments at the University of California, researchers studied toddlers’ thinking about winners and losers, bullies (欺凌) and victims.

In the first experiment, toddlers (学步儿童) watched a scene in which two puppets (木偶) had conflicting goals: One was crossing a stage from right to left, and the other from left to right. The puppets met in the middle and stopped. Eventually one puppet bowed down and moved aside, letting the other one pass by. Then researchers asked the toddlers which puppet they liked. The result: 20 out of 23 toddlers picked the higher-status puppet — the one that did not bow or move aside. It seems that individuals can gain status for being dominant (占优势的) and toddlers like winners better than losers.

But then researchers had another question: Do toddlers like winners no matter how they win? So, researchers did another experiment very similar to the one described above. But this time, the conflict ended because one puppet knocked the other down and out of the way. Now when the toddlers were asked who they liked, the results were different: Only 4 out of 23 children liked the winner.

These data suggest that children already love a winner by the age of 21-31 months. This does not necessarily mean that the preference is inborn: 21 months is enough time to learn a lot of things. But if a preference for winners is something we learn, we appear to learn it quite early.

Even more interesting, the preference for winners is not absolute. Children in our study did not like a winner who knocked a competitor down. This suggests that already by the age of 21-31 months, children’s liking for winners is balanced with other social concerns, including perhaps a general preference for nice or helpful people over aggressive ones.

In a time when the news is full of stories of public figures who celebrate winning at all costs, these results give us much confidence. Humans understand dominance, but we also expect strong individuals to guide, protect and help others. This feels like good news.

29. One of the purposes of the experiments is to ________.

A. teach toddlers how to gain higher status

B. offer toddlers a chance to watch a scene

C. observe the process of toddlers’ solving a conflict

D. find out toddlers’ attitude toward winners and losers

30. The toddlers regarded bowing and moving aside as a sign of ________.

A. obeying rules

B. gaining status

C. giving in to the other

D. showing good manners

31. What does the second experiment tell us about toddlers?

A. They are excellent learners.

B. They are always changeable.

C. They show mercy to the loser.

D. They value kindness over winning.

32. What does the author think of the results of the series of experiments?

A. Disappointing.B. Encouraging.

C. Unexpected.D. Controversial.

D

Eudaimonia is an Ancient Greek word, particularly stressed by the philosophers Plato and Aristotle, which deserves far more attention than it has because it corrects the shortfalls (缺失）in one of the most central, but troubling words in our modem language: happiness.

When we nowadays try to clearly express the purpose of our lives，it is the word “happiness” that we commonly turn to. We tell ourselves and others that the most important principle for our jobs, our relationships and the conduct of our day-to-day lives is the pursuit of happiness. It sounds like an innocent enough idea, but too much reliance on the term means that we frequently unfairly tend to quit or, at least, heavily question a great many challenging but worthwhile situations. The Ancient Greeks did not believe that the purpose of life was to be happy; they proposed that it was to achieve Eudaimonia, a word which has been best translated as “fulfilment”.

What distinguishes happiness from fulfilment is pain. It is very possible to be fulfilled and—at the same time—under pressure, suffering physically or mentally, overburdened and, quite frequently, in an irritable (易怒的）mood. This is a slight psychological difference that is hard for the word “happiness” to capture, for it’s tricky to speak of being happy yet unhappy, or happy yet suffering. However, such a combination is readily accommodated within the respected and noble-sounding idea of Eudaimonia.

The word encourages us to trust that many of life’s most worthwhile projects will sometimes be in conflict with contentment, and yet will be worth pursuing. Properly exploring our professional talents, managing a household, keeping a relationship going, creating a new business venture or engaging in politics... none of these goals are likely to leave us cheerful and grinning on a daily basis. They will, in fact, involve us in all manner of challenges that will deeply exhaust and weaken us, provoke (激怒）and wound us. And yet we will perhaps, at the end of our lives, still feel that the tasks were worth undertaking. Through them, we’ll have achieved something deeper and more interesting than happiness.

With the word Eudaimonia in mind, we can stop imagining that we are aiming for a pain-free existence—and then blaming ourselves unfairly for being in a bad mood. We’ll know that we are trying to do something far more important than smile all the time: we're striving to do justice to our full human potential.

33. What do we know about “Eudaimonia” from the passage?

A. It was first created by two Greek philosophers.

B. It has received a lot of attention from the public.

C. It still has some shortfalls that need to be corrected.

D. It was regarded as the purpose of life in ancient Greece.

34. According to Paragraph 3, happiness .

A. is the opposite of fulfillment

B. is free from physical or mental pain

C. stresses the psychological difference

D. serves as a respected and noble life goal

35. We can learn from the passage that.

A aiming for happiness may lead to wrong self-blaming

B. goals that wound and weaken us result in happiness

C. challenges leading to contentment are worth undertaking

D. feeling fulfilled means we should avoid tough situations

36. The passage encourages the readers to .

A. find fulfillment with all effortsB. seek for a pain-free existence

C. keep optimistic whatever happensD. balance happiness and suffering

The Occupy Wall Street protest movement has raised serious questions about the role of capitalist institutions, particularly corporations in American society. Well before the first protester set foot in Zucotti Park, a heckler(扰乱分子) urged Mitt Romney to tax corporations rather than people. Romney’s response-- “Corporations are people” stirred a brief but intense controversy. Now thousands of demonstrators have in effect joined the heckler, denouncing(抨击) corporations as “enemies of the people.”

Far more important than questions about what corporations are is the question of what attitude we should have toward them. Should we, as corporate public relations statements often suggest, think of them as friends (if we buy and are satisfied with their products) or as family (if we work for them)? Does it make sense to be loyal to a corporation as either a customer or as an employee？More generally, even granted that corporations are not fully persons in the way that individuals are, do they have some important moral standing in our society？

My answer to all these questions is no, because corporations have no core dedication to fundamental human values. Such corporations exist as instruments of profit for their shareholders. In fact, left to themselves, they can be serious threats to human values that conflict with the goal of corporate profit. Corporations are a particular threat to truth, a value essential in a democracy, which places a premium on the informed decisions of individual citizens. The corporate threat is most apparent in advertising, which explicitly aims at convincing us to prefer a product regardless of its actual merit. Their defining goal is to generate profit. There are cases when telling the truth is the best means to advance corporate profits. In 1982, when seven people in Chicago died from poisoned Tylenol, Johnson & Johnson appealed to its credo, which makes concern for its customers primary corporate goal，and told the entire truth about what had happened. This honesty turned a potential public-relations disaster into a triumph. But Johnson & Johnson’s impressive corporate credo ends by saying, “Our final responsibility is to our stockholders and must make solid profit. The credo is unclear about what happens when there is a conflict between responsible action and long-term profit.

None of this means that corporations are evil or that socialism should replace the free-enterprise system. As Michel Foucault said of all power structures, it’s not that corporations are bad but that they are dangerous. The self-serving corporate speech that fills our media and halls of government is particularly dangerous for our democracy. At least for this reason, the Occupy Wall Street protesters are right to distrust corporations.

37. Mitt Romney most probably believes that ___________.

A. individuals should pay more taxes than corporations

B. corporations should not be forced to pay more taxes

C. people should care more about corporations’ development

D. corporations should enjoy all the legal rights as people do

38. According to Paragraphs 2 and 3, it can be inferred that corporations ___________.

A. should be set as moral examples of the society

B. take employees’ faithfulness as part of their goals

C. contribute little to the most essential human values

D. are actually means by which people share profits

39. The 1982 event is cited in Paragraph 3 to illustrate that _____________

A. corporations always make profits at the expense of people’s health

B. customers should always keep an eye on the quality of any product

C. corporations take economic profit as their priority essentially

D. corporation profit is always in contradiction with customer interests

40. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A. Corporations, People and Truth

B. Corporations Are Different from People

C. Corporations Are Untrustworthy

D. The Occupy Wall Street Protest

Attracting Children to Museums

When you were young did your parents ever take you to a museum? Do you remember what it was like or if it was an exciting experience for you? Very often parents do things like going to museums with their young children because they think it is something they must do.____41____.

Museums understand that it is important to attract children and get them interested in going frequently to museums. They want them to start going as children and continue to go as adults.____42____.

The first thing to remember is that children are active and learn better by doing, not just by passively looking.____43____. So some museums are building separate section just for children where they can learn by doing. The biggest museum in Canada has a large area called the Children's Discovery Centre. There children can touch and feel and smell and play. They can build things, and paint, and solve puzzles. Everything is arranged to attract the interest of children and to keep them there for as long as possible.

____44____. It is always interesting to see a father sitting on the floor with his child putting pieces of a puzzle together. It quickly becomes obvious that the adults are having just as much fun as their children. And that is exactly what the museum wants to happen because they know that both the parents and the children will want to come back if they have fun on their first visit.

____45____. Children from elementary schools and high schools come with their teachers in buses to visit the museum and receive a special tour of displays in the museum that they know will interest the children. For example, they love to see the nature exhibits and the dinosaurs and the snakes.

A. They also learn by playing and discovering

B. Parents, too, are welcome to go into the Children's Discovery Centre.

C. If everything works right, the child will leave with wonderful memories.

D. But just as often the children get bored quickly and don't have a good time at all.

E. If you were the director of a museum, what would you do to attract more children?

F. And every group gets to do some sort of activity rather than just walking through the museum.

G. One other way the museum tries to attract children is through a school group visit program.
