I have a new hero.It is G.M.Hennen.I found him in the old newspapers as I was doing my research for the column A Look Back in History.
In 1958,he retired as a newspaper carrier from the Sherman Herald Democrat.He was 77 years old and had delivered four million copies of the Democrat.He had gone
- 14 -
through 17 automobiles and had thrown on average 400 newspapers a day,six days a week.He drove 100 miles a day,including the day he collected.
Before he was a newspaper carrier,he was also a teacher and a construction worker.
He opened the first motor delivery route in the newspaper's history.Driving a Model T Ford,his route consisted of Pottsboro,Gordonville,Sadler and Southmayd.Before he started in delivery,he solicited (征求) subscriptions (订阅) riding horseback over the county.
Mr.Hennen had only one wreck in 30 years.The car spun (疾驶) out of control and flipped on its top.That didn't stop him.A man with a truck used a tow rope to flip the car back over and tied the doors shut,leaving Mr.Hennen to continue on his way.Now that was determination!
Mr.Hennen told of the time his headlights went out as he was delivering newspapers.He borrowed a kerosene lantern (煤油灯) from a farmer to light the way and continued his route.
What a story!I complain when I have to drive to work when it is snowing,and I only have to travel three miles.I could never be that tough.

Would you be happier if you spent more time discussing the state of the world and the meaning of life—and less time talking about the weather?
It may sound counterintuitive,but people who spend more of their day having deep discussions and less time on small talk seem to be happier,said Matthias Mehl,a psychologist who published a study in Psychological Science.
“We found this so interesting,because it could have gone the other way—people usually believe that as long as you surf on the shallow(浅的) level of life you're happy,and if you go into the depths(深度) you'll be unhappy,”Dr.Mehl said.
But,he suggested,deep conversations seemed to hold the key to happiness for two main reasons:both because human beings are driven to find and create meaning in their lives,and because we are social animals who want and need to connect with other people.
“By making meaningful conversations,we manage to work out the meaning of this world,” Dr.Mehl said.“And,as you find this meaning,you connect with your partner,and we know that interpersonal (人与人之间) connection and communication is a basis of happiness.”
The study involved 79 college students wearing an electronic recorder that recorded their conversation every 12.5 minutes for four days.
Researchers then went through the tapes and classified (分类) the conversation as small talk about the weather or having watched a TV show,and more meaningful talk about current affairs,philosophy,or the role of education.A conversation about a TV show wasn't always considered small talk; it could be classified as deep if the speakers studied the characters.
- 14 -
The research found that about 45.9 percent of the day's conversations the happiest person had were important and serious,while only 21.8 percent of the unhappiest person's conversations were important and serious.Small talk made up only 10 percent of the happiest person's conversations,while it made up almost three times as much of the unhappiest person's conversations.
Next,Dr.Mehl wants to see if people can actually make themselves happier by having more deep conversations.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。一项最新研究认为深度交流有利于增进人的幸福感。
8.What does the underlined word“counterintuitive”in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Against expectation.
B.Widely known.
C.Obvious or natural.

A [词义猜测题。文章先介绍了最新的研究成果——people who spend more of their day having deep discussions and less time on small talk seem to be happier,下文中又说people usually believe that as long as you surf on the shallow(浅的) level of life you're happy,由此可知,最新研究得出的结论和人们固有的观念是不一样的,所以A项正确。]
9.According to the research,which of the following most probably makes you happier in general?
A.Talking about the weather.
B.Talking about a TV show.
C.Talking about philosophy.
D.Talking about fashion.
C [细节理解题。根据研究者的分类,一般而言,A、B、D项都是small talk,只有C项是deep conversations。根据该研究,deep conversations会让人更快乐。]

C.be confused about the research

We've all been there:The little one causes a problem,and it's up to you as the parent to remind them to apologize for their wrongdoing.Being regretful for hurtful behavior is something everyone should know about.But it's not the right way to go,according to one expert.
“Apologizing can be a great way to make things better between children,but forcing them to do it is teaching all the wrong lessons.”Laura Markham—author of “Peaceful Parent,Happy Siblings:How to Stop the Fighting and Raise Friends for Life”said.Why not?Mainly because forced apologies don't really change behavior and only make the child feel ashamed and angry.
Here's what Markham suggests you do instead:Get the child to realize what their wrong has done,and help them find ways to make changes.
“If I were the parent of a young perpetrator,I would say to my child,‘Oh no,Henry is crying,let's see how we can help him,’”said Markham.“You want to make your child see himself as a generous person who can make things better when he's done something hurtful.”
Then,after Henry has recovered(恢复),his parent can make a positive response.“If I were the parent of the hurt child,I would put my arm around him and say,‘We are so sorry that Gabriel hurt you;he forgot to use his words.We're so glad you feel better,’”she suggested.“This will encourage the person at fault”(有错) to make a sincere apology.and your child have a relationship rupture(破裂),you apologize and find ways to reconnect.”
【语篇解读】 本文是议论文。有专家认为,不要强迫孩子犯错后道歉,这样会让孩子感到羞愧。
- 14 -
12.How does Markham look at apologies?
A.They usually make things worse.
B.It is wrong to force kids to make them.
C.They may help kids control their anger.
D.It is often useless for people to apologize.
B [细节理解题。根据第二段中的Apologizing can be a great way to make things better between children,but forcing them to do it is teaching all the wrong lessons可知,Markham认为强迫孩子道歉是错误的。]
13.What does the underlined word“perpetrator”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Wrongdoer. B.Peacemaker.
C.Apologizer. D.Child.
A [词义猜测题。根据第四段中的Henry is crying,let's see how we can help him...who can make things better when he's done something hurtful可知,Markham告诉父母当他们的孩子犯错时,他们应该对孩子说些什么。所以perpetrator应该是“犯错者”的意思。]
14.What is Markham's advice for parents?
A.Learn how to repair parent-child relationships.
B.Make an attempt at saying “sorry”first.
C.Try to avoid relationship ruptures.
D.Set an example for children.
D [细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,Markham建议父母应该为孩子树立榜样,在与孩子关系破裂后应主动道歉,并想方设法重归于好。]
15.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To give a review of a new book.
B.To discuss the influence of apologizing.
C.To offer advice on building relationships.
D.To show an expert's opinion on apologizing.
D [写作目的题。通读全文可知,本文介绍了一位专家对于道歉的看法,她认为不应该强迫孩子在犯错后道歉。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
Time is on your side
How frequently do you say“I don't have time”?Quite often,I guess.Every time we say those words,they make us feel weak and out of control.You are in control of your hours and your life. 16
- 14 -
I know it's not as easy as simply turning off the TV.But here are two steps that will help you take back control and get time on your side.
★ 17
Be honest:do you spend an hour or two visiting Weixin and QQ every day?Are you spending time with people that you don't really like just to please them?Are there meetings you attend that you can politely refuse?
It's time to get real about the hours that add up to a lot of dissatisfying nothing.Think how you can cancel daily activities that are not useful. 18
★Change your language.
Words matter.They have power.Saying “I don't have time”is an excuse for not wanting to do something.Here are some good,empowering alternatives:
“I choose not to start that project until next year.”
“ 19 ”
“I'd love to go out this weekend but have important work I need to do first.”
Get better at saying no. 20 Use little pockets of time (friend running late,car stuck in traffic,meeting ending 10 minutes early) to do some productive thinking.All these things can add up over time more than you believe!
A.Identify your blocks.
B.But you are likely wasting a lot of it!
C.I really don't have enough time to do it.
D.Replace them with things that satisfy you.
E.Take no notice of all those unimportant messages on your phone.
F.I'd love to read that book—I'll get to it after my homework is complete!
G.When you don't have a plan for your life,someone else will plan it for you.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。我们常常觉得时间不够用,本文介绍了两个具体步骤帮助我们收回控制权,让时间为我们所用。
16.B [由上文作者猜测多数人常常说自己没时间可知,B项中的wasting a lot of it与此相呼应。虽然你是自己时间和生活的主宰,但你可能正在大量浪费时间。]
17.A [由下文提及的the hours that add up to a lot of dissatisfying nothing可知,A项中所指的blocks就是指代Be honest部分列举的那些浪费你时间的事。作者认为收回时间控制权的第一步是要找出阻挠你的事。]
18.D [D项的Replace them with things that satisfy you是针对上文作者所说的how you can cancel daily activities that are not
- 14 -
useful的解决方法。作者建议换个角度想想你如何能去掉那些无用的日常活动,用能带给你满足感的事情取而代之。]
19.F [由小标题Change your language可知,作者认为说“我没有时间”只是不想做某事的借口,他建议用其它能增添自信的说辞来替代,今后你就有可能会做此事。F项说辞与文中所举的其它两种选择都能令你增添自信。]
20.E [由本段该空缺处前后的Get better at saying no和Use little pockets of time 可知,作者建议你忽略掉手机上那些不重要的信息,利用零散时间想一想有益的事。]

Dear Ann,
I'm glad to hear from you and I'd like to tell you something about the Reading Week held in our school last week.
- 14 -
To make students' school life more colourful and encourage students to read more,our school held a Reading Week,which lasted from Monday to Friday.Thousands of different varieties of books were on show in our school library.Besides,several lectures on British and American literature as well as Chinese literature were given by famous professors from top universities in our school hall.Having taken part in these interesting activities,I learned more about literature and developed my interest in reading.What's more,I've made many new friends who share the same interests.
We all had a nice time during the whole week.
Yours,
Li Hua
