Ways to Find the Happiness in Front of You
We struggle with war, poverty, global warming. Famous people have wonderful lives, but you don't, and the "if only's" threaten to win the day: "My life would be sweet if only I were richer, had a better job..."
And it doesn't care how much money you have or what the circumstances of your life are. Look through the suggestions on how to look on the bright side and find the happiness in front of you.
If I'm feeling low, one of the best ways I know to cheer up is to make a love list. It's simple, just a list of every single person I love. Then I can put it in a pocket to take with me on a tough day, or just keep it in mind as I get on with my life.
Find Lost Friends
I recently took some time to seek out people that I've lost touch with over the years.. Within 24 hours I had baby pictures and recent histories. But the interesting thing was that all the people I got in touch with had been thinking about contacting me a couple of days before getting my email.
Think Positively
I'm not saying your problems are over, but simply looking at the world through rose-colored glasses means that half your problems will look like exciting challenges, and the other half you'll probably realize aren't problems at all, just facts of life.

【題目】It is made from grapes grown without pesticides (殺蟲劑) and chemicals, is kind to the environment and rarely causes hangovers (酒后頭痛). Sales of organic wine are booming in the UK.
According to the organic food and farming group Soil Association, sales of organic beers, wines and spirits rose by 14.3% last year to reach nearly 6 million, driven by the demand from consumers who are increasingly seeking “natural” food.
“It seems that people are rediscovering their link with the environment through organic food. Organic wines also taste better, perhaps due to less use of man-made chemicals.” said Finn Cottle of Soil Association. As well as the benefits of producing grapes without using pesticides, organic wine also contains less sulphur dioxide (二氧化硫), which can contribute towards hangovers.
Supermarkets are increasing supplies on their shelves to meet consumer demand, while the switch to online shopping has also helped, as people are more easily able to find what they are looking for. Vintage Roots is now one of the UK’s biggest online shops of organic wine, while Ocado provides more than 100 different organic wines and Daylesford, best-known for its organic vegetable boxes, has branched out into organic wine and spirits.
The discount supermarket Aldi is set to start its first collection of so-called “green” wines this week, offering eight wines with organic certificates. Aldi expects the wines to appeal to the young shoppers who are increasingly concerned about the environmental influence of the produce that they are buying and consuming.
English organic wine producer Oxney Estate’s Noir Rosé recently won the Waitrose prize for the most outstanding rosé wine at the competition. A spokeswoman for Waitrose said: “Organic wine is a growing trend globally and we have seen sales increase by 16% in the last year”.
【1】Sales of organic wine are increasing probably because ________.
A. consumers are now more environmentally aware
B. it offers a very different taste from traditional wine
C. consumers are tired of hangovers after drinking
D. it contains no sulphur dioxide or pesticide
【2】What’s the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. UK supermarkets welcome organic wine and spirits.
B. Online shopping promotes the sales of organic wine.
C. There’re not enough supplies of organic wine in the UK.
D. Supermarkets should go online to sell more wine.
【3】“Waitrose” in the last paragraph is probably ________.
A. a wine producer B. an organic wine
C. a wine competition D. a news agency
【4】The writing purpose of the text is to ________.
A. persuade readers to go green while drinking
B. compare organic wine and traditional wine
C. share with readers wines without hangovers
D. introduce a new consuming trend in the UK

【題目】閱讀理解
We all know the hard work that filmmakers and actors put in to provide us with entertainment, but it seems that even regular moviegoers like us have a big impact on how a movie turns out too.
For decades now, film studios have used so-called test screenings(試映)to get feedback from members of the public before a movie comes out.
While test audience members are usually asked to fill in a questionnaire after a screening, telling the film studio what they liked and didn't like, media giant Disney has come up with a more high-tech solution.
According to a paper published this summer by the company's researchers, Disney is measuring test audiences' reactions(反應) by using special cameras placed inside cinemas.
Pairing the cameras with custom(定制的) software, the company can track what each audience member is feeling at any point in the movie, from anger to joy.
This works by mapping 68 different points on each audience member's face. The cameras can see in the dark, and the software can figure out a person's mood based on the slightest of facial expressions.
It is hoped that this new method will allow more detailed feedback from test audiences. Rather than relying on audience members to recall their feelings after the movie's over, it can accurately read their reactions in real-time.
Test screenings are highly valued in the movie industry, and several well- known movies have been greatly altered following feedback.
Viewers of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial(1982) would have left the cinema feeling a whole lot differently if it weren't for its test audience's feedback.
"In one cut of the film that was tested, E.T. died instead of going home in his spaceship. You won't be surprised to hear that the test audience in question didn't warm to this ending at all," wrote media website Den of Geek.
But for those of us who are concerned about privacy, the cameras won't be installed in public cinemas.
After all, unless you're part of a test audience, being in front of the camera is best left to the movie stars.
(1)What is the main advantage that the cameras have over questionnaires?
A.They protect the audience's privacy better.
B.They allow the audience to recall their feelings more easily.
C.They are able to record the audience's mood accurately on the spot.
D.They can help audience members adjust their mood with custom software.
(2)With the example of E.T.the extra-Terrestrial (1982),the author intends to___________.
A.illustrate the significance of test screenings
B.emphasize the importance of altering a movie
C.show what kind of endings are better received by viewers
D.explain what kind of feedback could be accepted in test screenings
(3)What does the underlined word "alter" mean?
A.prefer
B.change
C.predict
D.adopt
(4)What is the author's attitude towards the cameras Disney researchers are using?
A.Positive
B.Indifferent
C.Negative
D.Neutral

【題目】Jonathan Lawler loves to work the land.For seven years,he operated Lawler Farms,a forprofit produce farm,harvesting nearly 700,000 pounds of food annually.
Now he’s on a mission to feed the hungry in Central Indiana.Lawler has turned his 36acre farm into a nonprofit operation called Brandywine Creek Farms.His goal for the first year is to donate 500,000 pounds of food,which he said is realistic based on the farm’s produce capacity(產量) and the addition of a large number of volunteers to help through the season. On top of that,Lawler has worked together with Gleaners,Midwest Food Bank,Kenneth Butler Soup Kitchen and other area food banks as distribution partners.
Lawler,who also owns a transportation consulting firm that helps pay the bills,says his 15yearold son inspired him to start thinking differently when it came to his farm.“He came home from school and talked about kids who take home food from the food bank,”Lawler said.“My awareness of hunger was limited to the homeless in Downtown Indianapolis.The last place I would expect it is in a rural farming community like where I live.”As he began to look around,he realized that the farms in Hancock and surrounding counties produce tons of corn,soybeans and wheat,“but nothing you can just pick up and eat,” he said.
Lawler and most of his neighbors are selfsufficient(自給自足的).They grow what they need or have access to quality food at supermarkets.If he needs something he didn’t grow himself,he can jump in his truck and drive 12 minutes to the nearest store.“But for someone who doesn’t have reliable transportation,that 12minute drive could be a twohour hike,” he said.
【1】Lawler was inspired to donate food by .
A. his son
B. his neighbors
C. the hungry kids
D. the homeless in his town
【2】We can know from the passage that Lawler .
A. is selfsufficient in quality food
B. changed Gleaners into a food bank
C. donates 700,000 pounds of food annually
D. thought there was no hunger in farming communities
【3】Which of the following can best describe Lawler?

B. Brave and successful.
C. Confident and modest.
