| It was a lovely sunny Saturday morning in early October. Jan Hunter sat out of the window of her room as she planned what she would do today. She would like to take Buster, her sheep, to the field for a short walk. Perky, her hamster (an animal like a mouse) and Slipper, her snake, would enjoy an outing too. "I"ll help you clean your room," Mrs. Hunter said. "Then you"ll be free to do what you want the rest of the day." Jan started picking up her clothes. Mrs. Hunter turned to the bed to take off the sheets (床单). As she lifted the pillow( 枕头), Slipper moved quickly under the blanket(毯子). "That does it!" Mrs. Hunter cried. "Get that snake out of here! And look at this-one of your best shoes too dirty to see the color. This is it. Jan. No more animals in the house; that"s final!" Mrs. Hunter said in a loud voice as she marched out of the room. Jan felt sad. She walked slowly across the street, Buster followed behind, to tell her tale to her old friend Mr. Ward. He thought for a few minutes. Then he said that if Jan found the right cages(笼子) for the pets, perhaps Mrs. Hunter could let the animals live out on the warm sun porch(门廊). Jan remembered an old bird cage that would do for Perky.

| Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties (地方特色菜) in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like make drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network. Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman"s charisma is key. "Food TV isn"t about food anymore," says Flay.

| Ever since I was a child, my mouth has caused me trouble. I"m not a bad person; I have a hard time learning when to keep my mouth closed. My mom has told me again and again, "Robert, your constant bad words are hurting me. If you continue to be this rude, you will get into big trouble." It"s been a problem at school several times too when teachers have told me something I didn"t want to hear. I used to feel it was my duty to stand up for myself. One day in English class I began working on my homework until I heard a classmate talking behind me. It was Nathaniel, talking to himself as usual. I said ever so nicely, "Nathaniel, would you be quiet?" Nathaniel continued talking to himself. I quickly shouted "Nathaniel, shut up!" For the next five minutes, we threw hurtful words back and forth at each other. "At least I don"t have an ugly lazy eye like you!" I shouted. I knew this would upset him deep inside. It would hurt his feelings and shut him up. What I said filled him with anger. He tried to reach over my seat and grab me as he shouted, "That"s it! That"s it!" Surprised at his reaction, I sat back in my seat. Never had I seen Nathaniel act like this before. Later on, we were taken to the principal"s office. There, Mr. Black, the principal, told us to discuss the matter. It wasn"t until then that I finally found that when I hurt someone physically, the wounds eventually heal. But when I hurt them with my words, sometimes the pain (痛苦) never goes away. At the end of the discussion, I said sorry to Nathaniel. When I headed back to my room, I spent some time praying. I began to think about how often what I said hurt others. But I believe that as I keep praying and asking God to help me, he"ll tell me when to keep my mouth closed. | |||

| Over the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are decided to a certain degree by genes. However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two. Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference. Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. But the link between money and happiness is complex(复杂的). In the past half-century, the average income (平均收入) has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues. "Dollars buy status (social position), and status makes people feel better," say some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways, scientists or actors, for example, may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs. In a research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires (***), not just for money, but for friends, family, job, health, rose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap (差距). Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone. "The gap measures just blow away the measures of only income." says Michalos. Another factor that has to do with happiness is age. Old age may not be so bad "Given all the problems of aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied?" asks Professor Laura Carstensen. In one survey, Carstensen interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotion questionnaire. She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people. Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or they"re more realistic about their time running out. Older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don"t. "People realize not only what they have, but also that what they have cannot last forever," she says. "A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85, for example, may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20." | |||
| 1. Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs____ . | |||
| A. make them feel much better B. provide chances to make friends C. improve their social position D. satisfy their professional interests | |||
| 2. Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less happy if _____. | |||
| A. the gap between reality and desire is bigger B. they have a stronger desire for friendship C. the hope for good health is much greater D. their income is far below their expectation | |||
| 3. We can infer from the passage that older people _____. | |||
| A. would like to have more goodbye kisses than young people B. are used to living a hard life because they are kind to others C. express their positive opinions just as some young people do D. find it easier to feel happy because they are more realistic | |||
| 4. According to the passage, the feeling of happiness _____. | |||
| A. increases gradually with age B. is controlled partly by desires C. has little to do with wealth D. is decided mostly by genes | |||
