The earthquake destroyed many houses, cut off power and caused over 2,000 deaths and injuries. On the night when the earthquake happened, many survivors had to sit or lie on the ground in terrible darkness. Some brought their own tents and others turned on the lights of motorcycles. It seemed that the earth was at an end. But their natural character made them get together to fight the early spring’s cold nights. Facing the disaster, they chose to be stronger and standing still and firmly like Yushu, the name of their hometown meaning “Standing like Trees”.
The disaster drew much attention both at home and abroad. Our country leaders ordered rescuers（营救人员） to value every life and never to give up. Thousands of rescuers and medical teams rushed to Yushu from many areas of China, bringing machines, medicines and something necessary to the quake-hit town. They entered every village to search for survivors. Governments, organizations and volunteers are offering money and materials to the areas.
We believe that under the leadership of the Central Government, people in the disaster areas are sure to restore production and rebuild homeland as soon as possible. And the overall victory can be achieved in the earthquake rescue work.

Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly boost happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found on Thursday.
Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably happier when they spent money on others --- even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.
“We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn,” said Elizabeth Dunn, a
psychologist at the University of British Columbia.They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness, report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.
“Regardless of how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not,” Dunn said in a statement.
Dunn’s team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing bonus of between $3,000 and $8,000.
“Employees who devoted more of their bonus to pro-social spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself,” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.
“Finally, participants who were randomly (随机地) required to spend money on others experienced greater happiness than those required to spend money on themselves,” they said.
They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.
“These findings suggest that very minor adjustment in spending allocations (分配) --- as little as $5 --- may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day,” Dunn said.
This could also explain why people are no happier even though US society is richer.
“Indeed, although real incomes have increased dramatically in recent decades, happiness levels have remained largely flat within developed countries across time,” they wrote.
小题1:
Dune’s experiment on 630 Americans was to ________.
| A．help people make careful plans for their money | B．encourage people to be generous to others |
| C．see how to spend money is important to happiness | D． test whether $5 is enough to buy happiness |
What can we conclude according to the experiment?
| A．Happiness largely depends on the size of your bonus money. |
| B．Happiness, as a matter of fact, has nothing to do with money. |
| C．The more money you give away, the happier person you will be. |
| D．Spending money for the good of society will make you happier. |
How many different ways are used by the researchers to test their theory?
| A．Two. | B．Three. | C．Four. | D．Five. |
The last sentence of the passage means _______.
| A．happiness does not necessary increase as money grows |
| B．people in richer countries actually have more problems |
| C．fast economic growth has a bad effect on people’s life |
| D．great increase of income contributes to keeping happiness level stable |
Germany was planning to cut its use of nuclear power slowly over 25 years. But now, the government has speeded up its program. Germany’s government has said that seven of its 17 nuclear reactors (反应堆) will stop working for three months for safety checks.
Nuclear power has been very unpopular in Germ
any since the Chernobyl (切尔诺贝利) nuclear reactor disaster in Ukraine (乌克兰) in 1986. Since then, the country has been working on developing new resources of energy.The plan to give up nuclear power will cost the country at least 150 billion euros (1.4 trillion yuan)) in investment. Experts say this will likely lead to a rise in electricity prices.
Some experts think Germany is setting a good example for countries such as the US to follow. Germany now gets 23 percent of its energy from nuclear power –about as much as the US.
However, France, which relies on nuclear energy for more than 70 percent of its power, shows no sign of changing its policy.
小题1:
We can most probably read the article _______.
| A．in a newspaper | B．in a pamphlet(小册子) |
| C．in an advertisement | D．in a textbook |
The most appropriate heading for this article is _______.
| A．Germany to develop its new resources of energy |
| B．Nuclear power no longer popular in Germany |
| C．Germany to have safety checks for some nuclear reactors |
| D．Germany to end its nuclear energy program |
According to the article, all of the following statements are true EXCEPT______.
| A．In both the US and Germany, approximately a quarter of their energy are from nuclear power now. |
| B．The explosion of some Fukushima nuclear reactors has quickened Germany’s pace to abandon nuclear energy. |
| C．France, which relies on nuclear energy for more than 70 percent of its power, will follow Germany and cut its use of it at any cost. |
| D．The Chernobyl nuclear disaster seemingly cast a huge shadow over the Germans, making them increasingly suspicious of the safety of nuclear energy. |
Acting Senior Sergeant Brock Davis, of Invercargill, said emergency services were called to the scene of the crash at the crossroads of Motorimu Rd and State Highway I shortly before 5:00 p.m. yesterday.
Mr. Davis said a Mitsubishi car driven by a 30-year-old man traveling north on the highway and the woman’s southbound（南行的）Suzuki Alto collided（碰撞）. The man suffered slight injuries in the crash, he said.
Invercargill Passenger Transport Ltd driver Bill McDermott and his passengers—New Zealand Aluminum Smelters Ltd workers were first on the scene and alerted emergency services. The scene at the spot was disordered, Mr. McDermott said.
“There was a car on its side and a guy wandering around who was quite excited,” he said. “We stopped, got out and found a lady trapped in her car …… then we noticed flames in the engine bay and the smell of petrol.” Mr. McDermott took a fire extinguisher（灭火器）from the bus，doused（泼洒）the flames，and several other workers controlled traffic.
However，he said his actions were “no big deal”. He was not willing to take any credit for helping the woman.
“The praise goes to all the guys that jumped off that bus.” Invercargill Senior Station officer Alan Goldsworthy, who was an officer in charge at the scene, said there was a possibility the car could have burst into flames if Mr. McDermott and the smelter workers had not helped. “They should acquire a good pat on the back.” he said.
小题1: It can be known from the passage that the car accident happened _____.
| A．at noon | B．in the morning |
| C．in the afternoon | D．at night |
| A．Brock Davis. | B．Bill McDermott. |
| C．Allan Goldsworthy. | D．The firefighters. |
| A．the government should give each of the heroes a gold medal of honor |
| B．the saved woman should offer as much money to the heroes as she can |
| C．everybody there should pat the heroes on the back gently and thankfully |
| D．the good deeds of the heroes are well worthy of great appreciation |
star David Beckham will be there with his pop star wife Victoria. Elton John is attending with partner David Furnish.The guest list for the April 29 union of Prince William and Kate Middleton is still being kept secret, but details have begun to leak out, with some coming forward to say they are attending and the Mail on Sunday newspaper claiming to have the official invitation roster (名单).
The palace dismissed the newspaper"s list as speculation (猜测) Sunday.
It won"t be clear until the day how the royal couple has balanced the protocol demands (王室规则) that they invite statesmen, diplomats, religious leaders, politicians and the like with invitations to the people they really want to see, particularly the crowd they made friends with when they met and fell in love at St. Andrews University in Scotland.
Kate Reardon, editor of high-society magazine Tatler, said many prominent Britons acted as if they didn"t really care about receiving an invitation while secretly checking the mail every day to see if the invitation had arrived.
"Everyone"s been hoping," she said.
William and Middleton have showed their modern side by inviting a number of close friends, including some former sweethearts, the newspaper said.
The wedding is not technically a state event, which somewhat limits the protocol requirements applied to the guest list. But royal obligations (职责) still order that a large number of the 1,900 or so seats go to guests from the world of politics, not actual friends of the couple.
The couple have also invited many guests from the charities they work with, and Middleton has used her influence to invite the butcher, shopkeeper and pub owner from her home village of Bucklebury.
President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle were not invited and many other international leaders are also expected to be watching on TV, not from a seat at Westminster Abbey.
It is not clear if treasured Brits from the world of stage and screen and pop music will be on the list.
小题1: Who were not invited to Prince William and Kate Middleton"s wedding?
| A．David Beckham and his wife. |
| B．Elton John and his partner David Furnish. |
| C．People from the charities they work with. |
| D．President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. |
| A．The guest list for the wedding is officially announced. |
| B．The wedding is technically a state event. |
| C．Only the actual friends of the couple will be invited to the wedding. |
| D．A large number of guests from the world of politics will be invited. |
| A．honest | B．modern |
| C．well known and important | D．busy and hardworking |
| A．their wedding will be held at Westminster Abbey on April 29th. |
| B．Kate Reardon was invited to the wedding. |
| C．journalists will not be allowed to attend the wedding. |
| D．their former sweethearts are sure to attend their wedding. |
