A few years later, she walked without any assistance into the church.When she was in junior high, she joined the basketball team. She finally applied to compete in games again and when her wish was finally permitted, she amazed everyone by leading the team to an undefeated season and the state championships. Though they lost the championship title in the end, Wilma Rudolph earned the attention of the womens track coach, Ed Template at Tennessee State University, and was invited to join the“Tigerbelles”. Her efforts paid off as she turned out to be so good that the Tigerbelles invited her to join them in the national Olympic team trails. Not only did she make it into the team, but she won a bronze medal in the 4100m relay at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. Four years later, Rudolph set a world 200m record(22.9 seconds)at the 1960 US Championships. At the Rome Olympics in 1960,she competed in the 100m,200m and 4100m relay, and equaled the world record of 11.3 seconds in the semifinals(半决赛)of the 100m.She won the final by three meters in 11.0 seconds, but it was not accepted as a world record.Wilma Rudolphs extraordinary achievements in Rome made her a darling of the European press who gave her the nickname “The Black Gazelle(羚羊)” and “The Black Pearl”.

But Xing Pu, a 40-year-old economist, is asking the government to give red packets to every Chinese citizen.Xing suggested the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese since the government income has increased rapidly in recent years. He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the countrys economic success, help the lower-income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption(消费)around the country.Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro-poor(扶贫)and pro-rural(惠农)policies(政策),including increasing spending on public health-care and cutting down the agricultural tax. But the lower-income group still needs more help. Xing said he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like the United States and Singapore. Earlier this year, the governments of the two nations offered cash handouts(救济)to their citizens. As for in China, “We can even encourage the rich to donate their 1,000 yuan red packet to the poor,” said Xing.Although Xings suggestion has gained wide support among ordinary Chinese on the Internet, many other economists criticized it as unpractical. “To better use the increase of money, handing out money is not a solution that holds good for all time. It could be better to improve the public service or cut the price of energy use in daily life,” said Qiao Xinsheng, an economic professor.（ ）28.Xing Pu suggested that the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese because.A. the poor should get help from the richB. the government should help the richC. the growing economic pie should be shared among the peopleD. the government doesnt know how to use the money（ ）29. What has the government done to help the lower-income group?A. Spending less on public health care.B. Increasing the agricultural tax.C. Handing out money to every Chinese.D. Carrying out pro-poor and pro-rural policies.（ ）30.Xing Pus ideas of giving red packets to every Chinese citizen mainly came from .A. children receiving red packets from their familiesB. the US and Singapore governments offering cash handouts to their citizensC. the governments increasing spending on public health careD. the rising prices in the country（ ）31. According to Qiao Xinsheng, what is better than giving out money?A. Supplying food to everyone every day.B. Cutting the price of energy use in daily life.C. Controlling the rising of prices.D. Increasing the government income.DPeople may seek true happiness for their whole lives, and believe it is impossible to achieve. However, there are some scientifically proven ways to become happy.Exercise is one of the easiest ways to become happier. In fact, you may only need seven minutes a day to be happier. Not only is exercise a natural protection against depression (沮丧),it aids you in your intellectual powers, in relaxing, and in improving your body image.Staying home too often can be a downer for your mood, as you might have noticed. Getting out more, doing activities with others, and seeing nature in its splendor will aid you in becoming happy. Spending 20 minutes outside in nature not only boosts ones mood, but also ones working memory and thinking abilities.Surprisingly, helping others increases our happiness as well. In fact, 100 hours of giving help per year (or two hours a week) can be the magic number to feeling better. In many studies, helping others has been found to boost happiness for reasons such as feeling more accomplished and feeling more self-worth.This might sound strange, but smiling can help improve our mood. However, false smiles, if not accompanied by positive thoughts, can make you more unhappy. Facial feedback(反馈)is important, as when you truly smile, you are telling your brain you are not in distress.Planning a trip away from your current vicinity can help in becoming happier, even if you do not go on the trip. That sense of hope bleeds positive emotions into your consciousness. In fact, planning a trip can boost your happiness for eight solid weeks.There are many ways to become happy. However, it may be surprising that the quickest ways to feel happier are also the most natural. This is because money, drugs, and other outside items cannot reproduce what happens within us in the most innate(与生俱来的) of ways.（ ）32. What can people do to make themselves in better shape?A. Positive thoughts.B. Doing exercise.C. Going out in nature. D. Seeking happiness.（ ）33. Which is the best way to realize the value of life according to the text?A. Being reasonable.B. Planning a trip.C. Giving a hand to others.D. Doing activities outside.（ ）34. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?A. Strange smiles, bad mood.B. False smiles resulted from sorrow.C. Sincere smiles, true happiness.D. Happiness caused by positive thoughts.（ ）35. What does the author mainly intend to tell people in the text?A. How to be happy.B. The most natural ways.C. When to be happy.D. The happiest to seek for.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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。（E涂AB, F涂AC, G涂AD）Maybe you are an average student.
