阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a,b,c,和d）中选出最佳选项。 ks aspending as little as $ us 5 a day on someone else could significantly boost happiness, the team at the university of british columbia found.their experiments on more than 630 americans showed they were measurably happier when they spent money on others - even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.we wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn, said elizabeth dunn, a psychologist at the university of british columbia. they asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness, report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.no matter how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not, dunn said in a statement.dunns team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing bonus(奖金) of between $ us 3000 and $ us 8000.employees who devoted more of their bonus to pro-social spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself, they wrote in their report, published in the journal science.they gave their volunteers $ us 5 or $ us 20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.these findings suggest that very minor alterations in spending allocations(分配款) - as little as $ us 5may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day, dunn said. 56.what is the general idea of the passage?a. the more you earn, the greater happiness you will get.b. spending more money on yourself will make you happier.c. money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else.d. you can spend only $ us 5 a day on someone else to get happiness.57.the underlined word “boost” in the first paragraph probably means _.a. help to find b. help to bringc. help to increase d. help to get58.which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?a. those who spend more money on others can get much more bonus.b. people usually think spending money on themselves will make them happier.c. very small changes in spending your money may be enough to gain happiness.d. researchers think that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn.59.it can be inferred from the 6th paragraph that _.a. the volunteers not given $ us 5 or $ us 20 spent their own money on themselvesb. those who spent the money on someone or something else felt happier about itc. the volunteers were given $ us 5 or $ us 20 as a reward for the experimentd. half of the volunteers could spend the money as they liked bart museums are places where people can learn about various cultures. the increasingly popular “design museums” that are opening today ,however ,perform quite a different role .unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public. these museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall.people have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. but their role is not simply a matter of salesit is the honoring of excellently invented products. the difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something ,while the second tells you the success of a sale.one advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits .unlike the average art museum visitors ,design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled .this is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do ,and how design has improved the quality of our lives .art museum exhibits ,on the other hand ,would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something between their understanding.in recent years ,several new design museums have opened their door .each of these museums has tried to satisfy the publics growing interest in the field with new ideas .londons design museum ,for example ,shows a collection of mass-produced objects from zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of italian fish-tins .the choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums ,and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life. 60.showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they _.ashow more technologically advanced productsbhelp increase the sales of productscshow why the products have sold welldattract more people than store windows do 61.the author believes that most design museum visitors _.ado not admire mass-produced productsbare puzzled with technological exhibitscdislike exhibits in art museumsdknow the exhibits very well62.the choices open to design museums _.aare not as strict as those to art museumsbare not aimed to interest the publiccmay fail to bring some pleasure to visitorsdoften contain precious exhibits63.the best title for this passage is _.athe forms of design museumsbthe exhibits of design museumscthe nature of design museumsdthe choices open to design museumscthree years ago，five parrots were set free in a wild place of arizona，thousands of miles from the channel islands in jersey where they had been looked after by zookeepers. no evolutionary ways informed them how to behave in this new landscape of mountainous pine forest unoccupied by their kind for 50 years. to the researchers surprise，they failed to make contact with a group of wild parrots imported from mexico and set free at the same time. within 24 hours the reintroducing ended in failure，and the poor birds were back in cages，on their way to the safety of the arizona reintroduction program.ever since then，the program has enjoyed great success，mainly because the birds now being set free are mexican birds illegally caught in the wild，confiscated(没收) on arrival north of the border，and raised by their parents in the safety of the program. the experience shows how little we know about the behavior and psychology(心理) of parrots，as peter bennett，a bird researcher，points out：“reintroducing species of high intelligence like parrots is a lot more difficult. people like parrots，always treating them as nothing more than pets or valuable collectables.”now that many species of parrot are in immediate danger of dying out，biologists are working together to study the natural history and the behavior of this family of birds. last year was an important turning point：conservationists founded the world parrot trust，based at hayle in cornwall，to support research into both wild and caged birds. research on parrots is vital for two reasons. first，as the arizona program showed，when reintroducing parrots to the wild，we need to be aware of what the birds must know if they are to survive in their natural home. we also need to learn more about the needs of parrots kept as pets，particularly as the trusts campaign does not attempt to discourage the practice，but rather urges people who buy parrots as pets to choose birds raised by humans. 64.what do we know about the area where the five parrots were reintroduced？a. its landscape is new to parrots of their kind.b. it used to be home to parrots of their kind.c. it is close to where they had been kept.d. pine trees were planted to attract birds.65.the reintroducing experience three years ago shows that man raised parrots_.a. can find their way back home in jerseyb. are unable to recognize their parents c. are unable to adapt to the wildd. can produce a new species66.why are researches on parrots important according to the passage？a. the trust shows great concern for the programme.b. we need to know more about how to protect parrots.c. many people are interested in collecting parrots.d. parrots intelligence may some day benefit people.67.according to the passage，people are advised_.a. to treat wild and caged parrots equally b to set up comfortable homes for parrotsc. not to keep wild parrots as petsd. not to let more parrots go to the wild drichardsolo 1800 rechargeable batteryin just minutes a day，plug in and charge your iphone quickly!just plug richardsolo 1800 into
