閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題（請注意問題后的字數(shù)要求）。
[1] Many people spend a lot of time making money because they believe the money itself will make them happy, or will guard them against things that will make them unhappy. They make great efforts to achieve that perfect relationship, the perfect house, the beautiful body, the approval of others, all in an attempt to be happy.
[2] Sometimes these things make people happy; other times, people stress over not having reached the goals, or reach them and find they’re still unhappy. Other times, people focus on just one goal and don’t have time for other things that will make them truly happy.
[3] Some experts studying human happiness and the factors that contribute to it have identified several key areas of life that seem to be more related to personal happiness. Some of them are the things like money, friends, health and living conditions; others are things you may not think of in your daily life, such as your neighborhood and sense of meaning in life.
[4] So while setting your goals, remember all of the areas of life that are important to you and find a balanced lifestyle including social support, personal development, physical health and meaningful pursuits(追求) besides career success and financial security. _____________, your attitude about life and the things that happen to you each day can also have a great effect on your level of happiness and life satisfaction. In addition to being optimistic, happy people tend to believe they are the masters of their fate, rather than the victims of circumstance.
[5] Explore the state of your life, assess how truly happy you are, and find a direction to work toward that will likely bring more happiness. Reach your goals, set new ones and live a life that truly makes you happy.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
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 (潛入) 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?

Mary went out at night. She never forgot the night when she met a robber many years ago.
That evening, she was invited to a birthday party which lasted until two o’clock in the ?morning. Without company Mary walked along the quiet street.
Suddenly from the shadow of a dark building a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran out at her. “Good evening, lady,” the man said in a low voice, “I don’t think you wish to die here.”
“What do you want?” Mary asked.
“Your earrings （耳環(huán)）.Take them off!” Slowly Mary’s eyes looked down. She tried to cover her necklace with the collar（領(lǐng)子）of her overcoat while she used the other hand to take off both of her earrings, and then she quickly threw them on the ground.
“Take them and let me go.” she said. The robber looked at her only feeling uncertain. He saw the girl didn’t care for the earrings at all, only trying to protect the necklace. He realized the necklace would cost more. So he said, “Give me your necklace.”
“Oh, sir. It’s not worth much. Please let me keep it.”
“Stop rubbish. Quick!”
With shaky hands, Mary took off her necklace. As soon as the robber disappeared, she picked up her earrings and ran as fast as she could to one of her friends.

Rick, Bill, David, Jack 和 Tom是美國一家研究所的員工，他們正在尋找度假的地方，要親眼看看全球氣候變暖對地球的影響。下面（A, B, C, D, E和F）是Mother Nature Network提供的在不久的將來因全球氣候變暖可能要消失的6個地方的有關(guān)信息，請你從中選出最適合他們?nèi)サ牡胤�。選項中有一項是多余選項。
61. Rick: I love nature. I think any place in nature is beautiful and worth protecting. However, more and more lands are becoming deserts. I’d like to go to a place which will let me have a close look at the landscape before it is swallowed by deserts.
62. Bill: I love sea, so do my wife and my son. I’d like to stay in a place for some time with my family to experience the sea thoroughly—to see it with my own eyes; to smell it with my own nose; and to feel it with my own body.
63. David: I want to get some information that will be of some help to see the damage pollution has done to corals so that we may have some idea to prevent them from disappearing completely.
64. Jack: I love nature, but I don’t like travel long way. I don’t want to go to other countries. I plan to go to some place in my own country to see glaciers before it’s too late.
65. Tom: I love nature and I also love travel. I plan to go to an area where climate-related disasters may happen so that I will collect some information for my research work although it may be a little dangerous.
Globe warming is a serious problem. Climate change is rapidly altering the landscape of our planet. We may be one of the last generations to see some of the Earth's most cherished places. Here's our list of 6 places to see before they completely disappear.
A. Glacier National Park
Just slightly more than 100 years ago, there were as many as 150 glaciers dotted throughout Glacier National Park in the north of the U S A. By 2005, only 27 remained, and those are expected to disappear completely by 2030, if not earlier. Many of the plant and animal species that call the park home require cold water, meaning the ecosystem of the park stands to change dramatically when the glaciers are gone.
B. Great Barrier Reef
It's so large that it can be seen from space, but the Great Barrier Reef is disappearing at an increased rate because of climate change. Rising ocean temperatures, water pollution, ocean acidification and cyclones continually hit the reef and have caused mass coral bleaching. What took 8,000 years for nature to build could disappear within our lifetimes.
C. Maldives
Maldives is the lowest-lying country in the world, with a maximum natural ground level of 2.3 meters (7 feet, 7 inches), and an average of only 1.5 meters (4 feet, 11 inches) above sea level. If sea levels rise too much, the country would earn an unwanted superlative: the first nation to be swallowed by the ocean because of global warming.
D. Patagonia
A land of untouched beauty, South America's Patagonia stands to be dramatically altered by climate change. Many of its glaciers are steadfastly retreating due to rising temperatures and declining rainfall. While this land doesn't stand to disappear entirely, its landscape may soon be altered beyond recognition if global warming persists.
E. Bangladesh
Set in the low-lying Ganges–Brahmaputra River Delta, Bangladesh sits in a perfect storm of climactic conditions. About 50 percent of the area would be flooded if the sea level were to rise by 1 meter. Bangladesh also lies at the heart of the monsoon belt. Natural calamities, such as floods, tropical cyclones, tornadoes and tidal bores(怒潮)occur here almost every year — with tragic results.
F. South Australia
Much like the Sahara in Africa, desertification also threatens South Australia. Across the region, fresh water supplies are rapidly drying up. Meanwhile, the parched（焦干的）landscape increases the occurrence of wildfires, threatening agriculture, wildlife and hundreds of Australian homes.

A
I knew something was wrong when I woke up on April 7th, 2008. My morn was cooking eggs. She never cooked eggs on a school morning. I dragged myself out of bed to see what terrible thing had happened. "Nothing's wrong; I just feel like cooking," was the lie I was told.
I got on the school bus just in time to realize that Melissa wasn't there. When I got to school and found out that Melissa still wasn't there, I pretended to be sick so I could go home and call her. When I called, I was surprised at how weak her voice sounded. Toward the end of the conversation, she went into a series of coughing fits and hung up the phone. Later that night I got the call that changed my life forever. Melissa had terminal (晚期的) cancer and was given a year to live.
Melissa started chemotherapy (化療) and soon lost her hair. Lots of kids made fun of her, but I stuck by her. Melissa's cancer deteriorated. The doctors said she could go anytime. She was then given one wish. Her wish was to go to the park with me. The doctors wouldn't let us go alone, so her mother agreed to stay in her car down the street.
On April 3rd, 2009, we set off for the park. We went on the swings first and I gently pushed her. After a few minutes, she said with great difficulty, "You walked in when the rest of the world walked out... You're my best friend and I love you." "I know," I said as I hugged her. Her breathing slowed until it faded, and she was gone.
I attended the funeral against my will. As I said goodbye to my dear friend for the final time, I repeated those words she had said to me, "I love you." As I said those words, I knew that she felt the same way up in heaven. She would be looking down on me somehow knowing that would help me go on.
