“happiness” lessons up to the age of 18 to combat growing levels of depression, according to a senior government adviser.“pupils should study subjects such as how to manage feelings, attitudes to work and money, channeling (疏导) negative emotions and even how to take a critical view of the media,” said lord richard layard, a labor peer and professor of economics at the london school of economics.the proposal comes only days after the government said that lessons in mannersincluding respect for the elderly and how to say “please” and “thank you”should be taught in secondary schools to combat bad behavior.lord layard, the director of the wellbeing program at the lses center for economic performance, said: “learning hard things takes an enormous amount of practice. to play the violin well takes 10,000 hours of practice. how can we expect people to learn to be happy without large amounts of practice and repetition?”it is believed that at least two percent of british children under 12 now struggle with significant depression. among teenagers, the figure rises to five percent. a unicef study involving 21 developed countries showed that british children were the least satisfied with their lives, while the world health organization predicts that childhood psychiatric (精神的) disorders will rise by 50 percent by 2020.in a speech at cambridge university, lord layard said the governments lessons in manners did not go far enough. “we need a commitment to producing a major specialism in this area, with a serious teacher training program,” he said.however, happiness lessons have been criticized by academics. frank furedi, a sociology professor at kent university and author of therapy culture, said: “in pushing emotional literacy, what some teachers are really doing is abandoning teaching. they are giving up and talking about emotions instead, so that children value all this non-discipline-led activity more than maths, english or science. what is amazing about this is that time and time again, research says that it does not work.”36. what does lord layard think of the governments lessons in manners?a. they can hardly meet the special demands of education.b. they are quite enough to solve the present problem.c. they only focused on a major specialism.d. they will probably end in failure.37. what do we know about british children from the passage?a. they suffer depression at an earlier age.b. they are the least happy among the 21 developed countries.c. they are the easiest to suffer childhood psychiatric disorders.d. their standard of living is the lowest among the 21 developed countries.38. we can conclude from the passage that _.a. the british government hasnt fully realized the problems with british studentsb. lord layard thinks little of the governments lessons in mannersc. british students are not well-behaved enoughd. lessons in manners have brought about positive changes in british students39. which of the following method does lord layard use to show learning to be happy takes practice?a. analysis.b. description.c. argument.d. comparison.40. frank furedi believes that _.a. happiness lessons should be taught to childrenb. happiness lessons are just a waste of timec. formal teaching can go side by side with happiness lessonsd. formal teaching should not give way to happiness lessonsc19.patti page, the top-selling female artist of the 1950s with more than 100 million records sold, died on january 2nd, 2013, when she was 85. she was one of the most beloved singers of the post-war era. take her “tennessee waltz” for example, it sold more than 10 million copies and was her biggest hit (成功). born in claremore, oklahoma, a small town near tulsa, page once dreamed of a career in commercial art. her first job in the art department at a local radio station soon led to her performing 15-minute program on her own.at age 20, page was discovered by big-band leader jack rael, who gave up his job to become her manager. the next year, she signed her first recording contract with mercury records and enjoyed her first hit record soon. she stayed with mercury for the next 14 years and recorded hit after hit including: “with my eyes wide open, im dreaming” and “old cape cod”.her last hit was “hush hush, sweet charlotte” , recorded for the bette davis movie of the same name. and then, there was “doggie in the window”. the creative tune was a huge hit, but with its repeated barking sounds and silly lyrics (歌词), the song has been used by many people as an example of all that was wrong with pop music in the early 1950s. throughout the 1950s, patti page made regular appearances on a variety of television shows and in 1957 she was chosen to host the musical program “the big record”. the following year,

record, and a new “best of” collection.besides music, patti page did a bit of acting. she co-starred with the oscar-winning burt lancaster in “elmer gantry”, and also starred on stage in the musical

parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home. if you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent. my daughter carlas fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. when students received less than a prefect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed. you can use the same technique when you evaluate (评价) your childs work at home. dont always scold and give lots of praise instead. talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasnt done. if your child completes a difficult task, promise him a sunday trip or a ball game with dad. learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. if you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last. 46. the whole passage deals with _.a. social
