【題目】When people reunite with their loved ones，it’s usually all extremely happy moment. But what is their most common response to seeing them again? It may seem strange，but most of the time they break down in tears.

Now a group of psychologists (心理學(xué)家) from Yale University say they have found the reason why，and that crying tears of joy may well be the body’s way of keeping emotional(情感的) balance. “They seem to take place when people are overtaken by strong positive emotions，and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions，” Oriana Aragon，the lead researcher said.

Aragon and her fellow psychologists looked at hundreds of participants’ emotional responses to different things，including happy reunions and cute babies. Many participants said they would react in a negative or aggressive way to the positive things—to cry at happy moments and want to pinch(捏) a cute baby’s face or even tell them “I want to eat you up!” But then researchers found that these people were able to calm down from strong emotions more quickly.

There are many other examples of times when people respond to a positive experience with a negative emotional reaction. At an exciting concert, fans scream at their idols(偶像). People who have just had a big lottery win are often in floods of tears. “These findings advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of relationships with others, and even how well people work together.” said Aragon.

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中crying tears of joy may well be the body's way of keeping emotional balance.可知，喜極而泣是身體保持情感平衡的方式。故選項(xiàng)A正確。

【2】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第二段中that crying tears of joy may well be the body’s way of keeping emotional(情感的）balance.（喜極而泣可能是身體保持情感平衡的方式。）“They seem to take place when people are overtaken by strong positive emotions，and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions（當(dāng)人們被強(qiáng)烈的積極情緒所壓倒時(shí)，他們似乎就會(huì)發(fā)生，而這樣做的人似乎從那些強(qiáng)烈的情感中恢復(fù)得更好）。由此可知they指的是“Times when people cry tears of joy”。故C項(xiàng)正確。

【3】理解推斷題。根據(jù)第三段中to cry at happy moments可知，本文介紹了一個(gè)奇怪的現(xiàn)象：當(dāng)我們快樂(lè)的時(shí)候，我們會(huì)高興地哭起來(lái)。故B項(xiàng)“聽(tīng)到好消息哭了。”與該項(xiàng)研究的發(fā)現(xiàn)符合，故選B。

【4】理解推斷題。通讀全文可知本文是對(duì)于人心理現(xiàn)象的研究．故應(yīng)該是來(lái)自于心理學(xué)研究雜志。故答案B正確。

【題目】 “Don’t tell anyone”. We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us. But it can be hard to keep a secret. We’re often tempted to “spill the beans”, even if we regret it later.

According to Asim Shah, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Bchavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well “become a burden”. This is because people often have an “obsessive (無(wú)法擺脫的) and anxious urge to share it with someone”.

An earlier study, led by Anita E. Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.

But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all? Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. “Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone.” according to Shah.

He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But this doesn’t mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.

Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you’d better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn’t give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone’s secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn’t so secret anymore.

【1】The underlined phrase “spill the bean” is closest in meaning to ________.

A.let out a secretB.tell the truth

C.eat our wordsD.take gossip

【2】A person who is entrusted with a secret ________.

A.is oft often obsessed with a certain threat

B.often would rather not have been told about it

C.usually has a strong desire to keep it until death

D.may suffer from physical or psychological problems

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Quiet people are more likely to keep the secrets to themselves.

B.Sharing secrets helps establish friendship or get over the sense of guilt.

C.It’s better to inform others of the chances of your leaking secrets beforehand.

D.Putting yourself in others’ shoes helps realize the difficulty of keeping secrets.

【4】What’s the best title for the passage?

A.Walls have ears.

B.Still tongues make wise heads.

C.A word spoken is past recalling.

D.Every wall has a crack.

【題目】 “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Eleanor Roosevelt once said. If we want to accomplish anything in life, let us remember that we should never give up.

Viennese - born composer Frederick Loewe, whom we remember from his musical scores that include My Fair Lady, Gigi and Camelot, was not always famous. He learned to play the piano with the great masters of Europe and achieved huge success as a musician and composer in his early years.

But when he immigrated to the United States, he failed as a pianist. For a while he tried other types of work. But he never gave up his dream and continued to play the piano and write music. During those years, he could not always afford to make ends meet by playing the piano.

One day, bent over the keyboard, he heard nothing but the music that he played with inspiration. When he finished and looked up, he was surprised to find that he had an audience - three men who were seated on the floor. They said nothing and made no movement toward the piano. Instead they dug into their pockets, took out all the money they had, placed it on the piano and walked out, empty-handed. Deeply touched by the beauty of his music, these men recognized excellence and responded to it.

Whatever you do, try your best. If what you do is worth doing and if you believe that who you are is of value, then you cannot afford to be content with mediocrity (平庸). When you choose the path of excellence through this life, you will bring out the best in yourself and receive the best it can offer in return.

【1】What can we learn from Roosevelt’s words?

A.It is difficult to do our best.

B.It is important to be successful in life.

C.We should be strict with ourselves.

D.We should face the future with the most dreams.

【2】What happened to Frederick Loewe after he immigrated to America?

A.He lost his hearing.B.He led a hard life for a while.

C.He enjoyed great success.D.He became a famous pianist.

【3】Why did the three men pay Frederick?

A.They were supposed to do that.B.They wanted to show their sympathy.

C.They were moved by his performance.D.They wanted to make friends with him.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A.Practice makes perfect.B.Never give up your dream.

C.It’s never too old to learn.D.Rome was not built in a day.
