The question has caught many interviewees off guard. Even Mo Yan, who recently won a Nobel Prize, answered by saying “I don’t know.”
We should ask “What exactly is happiness? And how do you measure(测量) it？”. Last year, China’s Premier Wen Jiabao told the nation, “Everything we do is aimed at letting people live more happily.” At last year’s National People’s Congress(全国人民代表大会)， officials agreed that increasing happiness would be a top target(目标) for the 12th five-year plan.
Many argue that happiness is elusive. It also means different things to different people. For some, happiness can be as simple as having enough money to buy a new bicycle; for others, it’s about socializing(社交活动) or finding the perfect spouse(配偶).
Chen Shangyuan, 21, a college student, said his idea of happiness always evolves(进化). “At present it relates to how productive I am in a day”, he said. “It might be linked to(联系) job security (安全) or leisure(休闲) time after I graduate.”

| A．Yes, I am very happy. | B．No, I am not happy. |
| C．It depends on the weather. | D．I don’t know |

Over the years I have been interested to read about studies into the power of touch. A study found that holding hands to comfort a loved one can actually reduce their pain. Through a process that’s not fully understood, if one of them is in pain, the pain appears to reduce.
I’ve seen this so many times when the husband or wife of a patient in discomfort reaches out and holds their hand, and as if by magic, in a few minutes they become less painful. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised, as we have known for many years about the importance of touch. It symbolizes safety and love.
The value of touch was proved by a series of experiments on monkeys back in the 1950s by Harry Harlow, an American scientist. His work showed the unbelievable drive for warmth and intimacy (亲密) that we all have. In his experiments, he gave young monkeys a choice between a “mother” made of wire mesh (铁丝网) that had a ready supply of milk and the other a warm, soft mother that did not provide any food. They chose, to everyone’s surprise, the comfort over food. This was unexpected because it had always been thought that food was the main motivator (动力) for living creatures. Yet this appeared to show that it was not food, but being comforted and intimate, that was the most important thing. He described these experiments as a study of love and they showed for the first time how important the feeling of being loved is to us. And his idea has been supported by countless further scientific studies.
Personally I find this so comforting. For me, this really speaks of the power of love.
1. According to the writer and studies, ________.| A．touch can treat illnesses | B．touch by anyone can reduce pain |
| C．touch by a loved one can reduce pain | D．we’ve known why touch can reduce pain |
| A．Monkeys were not interested in milk at all. |
| B．Monkeys were different from other living creatures. |
| C．Monkeys liked being comforted and intimate as well. |
| D．Monkeys were afraid of the “mother” made of wire mesh. |
| A．Disappointed. | B．Satisfied. | C．Interested. | D．Unbelievable. |

【推荐2】Everyone likes living in a clean and comfortable environment. If the environment are bad, it will affect(影响)our body, and make us not feel well. Sometimes we may be terribly ill. At that time we don’t want to work, and we have to stay in bed and rest at home. So the environment is very important to us.
It’s germs that makes us ill. There are germs everywhere, They are very small and you can’t find them with your own eyes, but you can see them with a microscope(显微镜). They are very small and there may be hundreds of them on a very small thing, Germs can always be found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. Germs can also be found in air and dust(灰尘). If you cut your finger, some of the dust from the floor may go into it, and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs will go into all of your body, and you will have pain everywhere.
To keep us healthy, we should try to our best to make our environment cleaner and tidier. This needs us to act together.
1. The writer tell us that________.
| A．we like working when we are ill | B．germs can’t live in the water. |

【推荐3】Technology is changing to suit people’s needs. The early development of transportation technology as well as the modern development of telecommunication has offered human a rapid rise in efficiency (效率). Of course, technology has also made life more complicated (复杂的) and some may say, led to bad effects. However, it is obvious that technology has made life better than before.
There’s no doubt that technology has improved the standards of living. Machines can now do the heavier work which human beings find very difficult to do. Industrialization (工业化) has brought about large production, people can get goods at a cheaper price, too. Technology has made every aspect (方面) of life more convenient: computers have made work in the office more efficient and transport systems have made travel cheaper and even more enjoyable.
Technology has also improved the quality of social life. The communication technology has brought the world closer, whether for business or for personal relationships.
Yet, even though it is true that life has improved with technology, life has also become more complicated as technology becomes more common in our lives. The use of the Internet has changed the way we communicate, socialize and do business, and thus exposed us to risks. As more business deals take place online, there is an increase in cybercrime (网络犯罪). And stolen data has become a huge problem for businesses and banks. Cyberbullying (网络欺凌) is also becoming more widespread today. As much as technology has improved our lives, it has also brought about new sets of problems.
Still, technology has given us the means to a better life that was unimaginable. To say that technology does not make life better or even makes life worse is an absolute wrong conclusion. There are also creative ways to solve the problems that technology has brought about, such as using laws and technology itself to solve the very problems it brings about. For example, some countries have introduced laws that control the use of online information to ensure personal safety is protected. Today, space rovers (漫游者) are even exploring new planets to check for signs of life. So, with the development of technology, it is fair to say that the stars are not out of reach.
1. According to the passage, how has technology improved the standards of living?| A．By increasing people’s heavier work. |
| B．By making work in the office more enjoyable. |
| C．By making different aspects of life more convenient. |
| D．By helping solve all kinds of difficult problems in life. |

| B．Communication is more complicated because of technology. |
| C．Machines will take the place of human beings in the future. |
| D．Laws can be made to protect personal safety on the Internet. |
| A．Will Technology Really Meet Our Future Needs? |

【推荐1】I think the Buddy Club is great. I really enjoy talking with the older students about school life and growing up. They can tell me a lot. One student told me how he relaxed (放松) before exams. Another student told me about great websites about learning History and English.
The Buddy Club is also a good place to just forget about school altogether! One of the older students taught us origami (日本折纸). We made paper planes, birds and hats together.
The table tennis tournament（锦标赛) was a great idea. I didn’t do very well, but I learnt a lot from watching the doubles tournament won by a fourteen-year-old girl and a seventeen-year-old boy.
Last year, we had the annual (每年的) Buddy Club Picnic. Everyone enjoyed the games we played. After I learnt how to fish, I caught two fish in the lake. I think it might be a good idea to change the Buddy Club Picnic to a weekend camping trip. We could learn how to put up (架起) tents (帐篷) and how to find our way through a forest. Many of the older students know how to do this already, and I think they would like to teach the younger students.
I want to say again how much I enjoy the club. When I’m older, I will make friends with younger students. Then, I can tell them all about school life and growing up.
