Until I started my Happiness Project, I didn’t think much about rituals and whether they made me happy. But when I reflected on them, I realized that I found rituals both calming and energizing.
For example, in my high school, exams were taken very seriously. When everyone was steeled at a desk, the teacher would pass out the papers, and we would lay them face down. She would return to the front of the classroom, look at the clock, and say quietly, “It is 9:10 now. You have two hours. Be sure to read all the instructions carefully”—then a pause —“you may turn over your test paper and begin now.” This familiar, quiet formula made the start of an exam into a little ritual that put me in the right frame of mind to face a tense exam.
In kindergarten, after singing a good-bye song, the children stand in a circle in the classroom, while the grown-ups wait in a line outside the door. The teacher calls the children’s names, one by one, and the child comes to the door to get a big hug and to leave. The orderliness of this process keeps everyone calm and cheerful.
So think about rituals in your life. Take a moment to taste the enjoyable ones. Think about opportunities to heighten the experience of an ordinary occasion by treating it with special consideration. This is particularly useful if it’s a stressful or emotional experience, discussing a child’s report card, giving a performance review. Packing for a trip, or getting ready for a date.
Studies show that family traditions and family rituals encourage children’s social development and improve feeling of family. They’re not just important for children but for the whole society.
61．From the passage we know that__________．
A．rituals can make the whole society happy and peaceful
B．the author felt nervous when he took exams in high school
C．the exams in high school was a mess
D．the children are nervous as the adults wait to watch their performance
62．The author mentions all of the ritual items in paragraph 3 EXCEPT _________ .
A．singing a good-bye song
B．standing in a circle in the classroom
C．children getting a big hug
D．grown-ups shaking hand with the teacher
63．Studies show that one way to encourage child’s social development is to___________．
A．train their parents for rituals
B．communicate with children
C．form family rituals
D．praise their good actions
C
I have been employed by a charity organization for less than a year now and I have the privilege of finding foster homes for abandoned children. It has always been my dream to work with adopted children because I myself was an adopted child.
I was born in California in September of 1976 and was adopted in Ohio in March of 1977. I have no memory of being told that I was adopted, however, I have always known. I have been told that I was wanted and I was special.
Even though my parents provided me with lots of love, I was always annoyed by the questions about my origin and my feeling of being unwanted. I constantly scanned every crowd I was in for another human that looked like me or laughed like me.
I began searching for my birthparents in 1999 and I imagined every possible scene of my birth family.
I went to a local agency for support and five days later I met my birth mother. The story unfolded. She flew me to Los Angeles the next day and I spent the weekend connecting with another person who looked just like me. We have had a worthwhile relationship over the past years although she could not give me any information about my birth father.
In June of last year a member of my birth father’s family contacted me. Now, he and I are just beginning to get to know what it is like to be a birth child, Without the support of my parents who raised me I would have never experienced the feeling of being truly wanted accepted. For that, I am forever grateful.
64．What’s the author’s attitude towards working with adopted children?
A．He feels it is worth a try.
B．He is eager to work with them.
C．He is strongly against it .
D．He thinks it is painful.
65．How does the author feel about his birth family?
A．He feels that he can’t forgive his birth parents.
B．He understands his birth parents.
C．He misses his birth parents very much.
D．He is afraid of being hurt by them again.
66．Why does the author writes this passage?
A．To complain about being abandoned by his birth parents.
B．To show how deep his desire to work with adopted children is.
C．To encourage other people to find their birth parents.
D．To show his love to his birth parents and his foster parents.

Clean air is only made up of nutrition, oxygen and water. Our country has been industrialized; our cities have grown and traffic has increased.. For these reasons there has come an increase in the number of by-products released into the air, such as particles from burning fuels and poisonous gases from chemical reactions. These gases become pollutants.
Air pollution has a bad effect on the earth and our environment. Air pollution can result in acid rain, and it can also lead to the Greenhouse Effect---a condition in which pollution stops radiation from travelling out of the earth’s atmosphere. This upset of the natural ranges. Due to the Green Effect, the temperature on the earth becomes warmer, which is known as Global Warming. What’s more, air pollution may produce holes in the ozone layer---this layer of ozone naturally keeps ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earth. The holes make it possible for the rays to reach us.
Don’t let all the bad news about air pollution get you down because there are many ways to help fight the air pollution. Every one of us can employ a variety of solutions to air pollutions to air pollution. A smoker can give up smoking. While shopping, you can choose organic and natural products .Driving less and carpooling more can also contribute to less pollution. Next time, keep your air-conditioning low. Of course you can plant more trees.
Air pollution is a major problem for our planet .However, as long as we realize how serious the air pollution is and take action now, everyone can make a difference.

A new study suggests that the round-the-clock availability that cell phone have brought to people’s lives may be taking a toll on family life, a new study suggests. The study, which followed more than 1,300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative “spillover’’ between work and home life — and, in turn, less satisfaction with their family life.
Spillover essentially means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear. Work life may invade home life when a parent is taking job-related calls at home, for instance, or family issues may start to take up work time. For example, a child may call mom at work, telling her “microwave exploded”, explained Noelle Chesley, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for ever more spillover between work and home.
This may be especially true for working women, the study found. Among men, consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潜入) into family time. But for women, the spillover tended to go in both directions. Being “connected” meant that work cut into home time，and family issues came into work life.
Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members. But there may be ways to control the spillover, according to Chesley. Employers, she said, could look at their policies on contacting employees after working hours to make sure their expectations are “reasonable”. For their part, employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said.
(Note: Write NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS for each question or statement.)
81. By saying “may be taking a toll on family life”, the writer probably means that cell phone ____________.
82. As a result of negative “spillover”, people will feel ______________.
83. The writer gave the example of “microwave exploded” to indicate that ______________.
84.According to Chesley, what could employees do to avoid spillover when they are not at work?
