One weekend, they were told to spend the money on a material purchase—a gift for themselves. The next weekend, they were instructed to spend the $40 on anything that saved them time, from paying the neighbor’s kid to run errands (跑腿) to taking a Uber instead of a bus.‎ ‎    “On the day they made the time-saving purchase, they felt happier, in a better mood, and lower feelings of time stress than on the day they bought a material purchase” said Whillans.‎ ‎    The biggest surprise to the researchers was how few people would spend money on time-saving services. When they asked 98 working adults how they would spend a “windfall” of $40, only two percent named a purchase that would save them time.‎ ‎    “One reason,’’ said Whillans, “is that we’re very bad at remembering how much we hate doing certain tasks once the suffering has passed. That makes us less likely to take active steps to avoid that over burdened feeling in the future.” But another possible cause is good old-fashioned guilt. “If you feel guilty about getting someone to clean your house for you, then you might get less happiness from outsourcing that task,” said Whillans, or you might just be less likely to spend your money in that way. ’’‎ ‎1.In the Canadian experiment, the participants__________. A.were divided into two groups B.were given $ 40 every two weeks C.were asked to give money to a neighbor’s kid D.were asked to spend the money in different ways 2.According to the author, what can make people less time-stressed?

D.The discomfort when completing tasks we hate doing.‎ ‎3、  Bottled water is a drain on the environment: The US public goes through about 50 billion water bottles a year, and most of those plastic containers are not recycled, according to Elizabeth Royte’s bookBottlemania: How Water Went on Sale and Why We Bought It.   Transporting the bottles and keeping them cold also burns fossil fuels, which give off greenhouse gases. And groundwater pumping by bottled water companies draws heavily on underground aquifers(含水层) and harms watersheds(分水岭), according to the Sierra Club. And some studies suggest it takes up to three liters of water to produce one liter of bottled water.   Yet more than $100 billion is spent every year on bottled water globally. In many cities in developing countries where there is not a safe source of tap water, bottled water becomes a trusted choice.In the US, tap water is controlled by the government and often examined for dangerous polluted substances. Each American drinks 79 liters of bottled water per year on average, according to the Columbia Water Center at Columbia University’s Earth Institute in New York. The bottled water industry is so successful that it has outpaced(超过) milk, coffee, and juice in the number of gallons of drinks sold — putting it behind only beer and soda.   Though the sale and consumption of bottled water is still on the rise, certain policymakers have taken steps to reduce it and encourage people to drink tap water. In September 2009, the Australian town of Bundanoon became the first town in the world to completely ban bottled water from its stores’ shelves, building water fountains around the town instead.   Among US cities that have taken action are San Francisco and Seattle, which no longer buy water for city use, and Chicago, which added a five-cent tax on each bottle. Several restaurants in those cities have also given up bottled water for tap water. Other cities are also considering taking action.‎ ‎1.What does the underlined word "drain" in the first paragraph probably mean? A.Consumption. B.Value. C.Solution. D.Relief. 2.What is the second paragraph mainly about? A.Why bottled water is so popular. B.What Elizabeth Royte’s book is about. C.How much it takes to produce bottled water. D.What effects bottled water has on the environment. 3.According to the passage, what drink sells best in the USA? A.Bottled water. B.Beer. C.Coffee. D.Milk. 4.Which of the following statements about the US is TRUE? A.More than $100 billion is spent every year on bottled water in the US. B.About 79 billion water bottles a year are gone through by the US public. C.In Chicago, you have to pay 5 cents as tax if you buy a bottle of water. D.An American drinks 50 liters of bottled water every year on average.‎ ‎4、    I fondly remember road trips as a child, sitting in the sunny backseat of my mom's car, daydreaming about other worlds and fantastic adventures. As I’ve grown older, my daydreams have become increasingly occupied less with fantasy but more with the reality of my past and future. Nearly everyone daydreams about their future and reflects nostalgically (念旧地) or negatively on moments of the past. These moments can provide inspiration, but if you spend too much time daydreaming in this fashion, you may be reducing your success in the present.‎ ‎    If you've ever planned a vacation, you're familiar with the impatient days tapping at your desk, dreaming of the lazy, relaxing days to come. Unfortunately, sometimes you end up comparing the real vacation to your imagined one, and it doesn't live up to the standard. Reflecting nostalgically ‎ on the past can also prevent present enjoyment. It is equally fun to reflect on past achievements or fun events, but it's possible to be so consumed with happy memories that you miss opportunities to create more.‎ ‎    We've all made mistakes that we’re ashamed of; reflecting on them is an important step in correcting those mistakes and becoming a better person. But dwelling (细想)too long on your past can also be negative. If you dwell too long on a past mistake, you can begin to equate(使等同)yourself with your past and feel farther away from the person you want to be. Train your brain to think quickly about the past and future, and take only the information and inspiration that you need in order to be the best person you can without resting on your glory moments or your mistakes.‎ ‎    If your identity is not dependent on the past or future, every experience is new and every day is a blank page for you to write. A fun mental exercise is to always tell yourself that you’re experiencing things for the first time. So take advantage of each moment you’re given.‎ ‎1.What does the author think of daydreaming? A.It's the favorite for many kids. B.It can lead to fantastic adventures. C.It's the major source of inspiration. D.It has both strengths and weaknesses. 2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A.Past achievements strongly influence us. B.It's important to be patient with our present life. C.Daydreaming may make the present disappointing. D.Reflecting nostalgically on the past brings us no pleasure. 3.What should we avoid doing according to Paragraph 3? A.Reflecting on the past. B.Resting on our past experiences. C.Thinking about our past mistakes. D.Feeling ashamed of our past mistakes. 4.What's the author's purpose in writing the text? A.To tell about her ‎ childhood. B.To tell how to let go the past. C.To suggest we focus on the present. D.To encourage us to learn from mistakes.‎ ‎5、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎    Are you truly happy?

And we have  out of touch with each other ever since. How I miss her!‎ 解析：‎ ‎1. 此处为定语从句,先行词为parents,所以要用who引导。故把whom改为who。‎ ‎2. University首字母为辅音所以应该用a,不用an。故把an改为a。‎ ‎3. 此处表达地汉语很流利,所以用形容词fluent。故把fluently改为fluent。‎ ‎4. 口语应该为spoken English。故把speaking改为spoken。‎ ‎5. 根据整句的时态可以知道应该用一般过去时。故把can改为could。‎ ‎6. 此处表达我能说英语很好了,而且我的书面语也有了极大地提高。此处是并列关系,所以用and。故把but改为and。‎ ‎7. Progress不可数,不能用复数。故把progresses改为progress。‎ ‎8. 根据语境可知一年后她要回国了,所以应该是不幸的是。故把Luckily改为Unluckily。‎ ‎9. Return就是回去,不能再与back连用。‎ ‎10. ever since通常与现在完成时连用。故在out前加been。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎9答案及解析：‎ 答案：‎ Dear Peter,‎ ‎    How are you going? I am writing to thank you for your kind help during my stay in England.‎ ‎    Thanks to your help, my English has improved a lot and my teachers and friends are surprised at my fluent English.‎ ‎    The Dragon Boat festival is coming, which is an important traditional festival for the Chinese.

Would you like to come to experience Chinese culture? I can also show you around some places of interest. I am sure you will have a happy time here.‎ ‎    I am looking forward to your reply.‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua 解析：本文属于感谢信。感谢信的写作格式一般分为三段。第一段表达感谢之情并说明原因。信的开头应问候对对方,并对对方的关心和提供的帮助表示由衷的感谢。第二段邀请对方来中国过端午节,在此段中对端午节作个简单的叙述。第三段表达自己的愿望。亮点分析:本文格式正确,内容完整,行文连贯。以简单句为主,同时运用了两处非限制性定语从句,如(…., which is an important traditional festival for the Chinese.和…Quyuan, who is a patriot and died for his country.),一处名词从句(I am sure you will have a happy time ‎ here.)。同时还运用了许多较高级词汇,如thanks to, in memory of, show sb. around some places of interest, Would you like to do…,look forward to your reply等,为文章增添了亮点。‎ ‎ ‎
