my day poring over content related to health. at huffpost, were lucky to talk to experts on a daily basis about how to live our best lives. its clear that life would be healthier if we would just do the following things. sure, some of these are easier said than done.1.have a bedtime.sleep is considered the third pillar(支柱) of health, and for good reason. research is only making it increasingly clear that not getting enough of the stuff can have serious health effects. meanwhile, getting enough sleep is good for everything ranging from weight, to mood, to even the immune system. one of the simplest things you can do to ensure you get enough sleep each night is to set a bedtime. forgive yourself if you cant meet it every night, but make a point to try to stick to it.2. cultivate your emotional intelligenceto have emotional intelligence means to be confident, good at working towards your goals and adaptable. you recover quickly from stress. psychologist daniel goleman previously told huffpost. its made up of five parts social skills, empathy, motivation, self-awareness and self-regulation. and fortunately, these are all traits you can cultivate. be curious about things beyond yourself. know what youre good at and where you can stand to improve. try to improve your ability to pay attention.3.this is something im still working on. im an objectively fast person - fast at walking, fast at eating, fast at talking. this also makes me very impatient, and also sometimes very unobservant - stopping to smell the roses has never been my strong suit. but slowing down to appreciate life and all its little moments builds gratitude - and thats a very healthy thing.4. find an exercise you actually enjoyits not exactly a secret how much i opposite-of-like running. ill still do it, because of health, but there are certainly other ways id rather get my fitness in. and thats completely ok. research has even shown that whether we think of fitness as fun or exercise affects how much we end up eating. for me, exercise is a pill best swallowed as volleyball. for you, it may be dancing, or swimming, or riding your bike. dont think that just because you dont like conventional exercise - running, going to the gym, etc. - youre bad at exercise. no such thing!36 which of the following has something to do with the immune system?a. exercise b. sleepc. emotional intelligence d. mood37 what can we infer from the passage?a. you should set a bedtime and stick to it no matter what happened.b. paying attention is not as important as other abilities for emotional intelligence.c. the writer is no longer a fast person.d. the exercise the writer likes most is volleyball.38 emotional intelligence includes the following except_.a. confidence b. motivationc. stress d. self-awareness39 the best title for the third tip is_.a. feel gratitude to lifeb. stop to smell the rosesc. lead a simple lifed. take a time to appreciate your

life anand thats a very healthy thing.可知花时间学会欣赏也是健康的事。故选d考点：考查说明类阅读single people, especially women, are stigmatized（指责） in our society were all familiar with the image of a sad, lonely woman eating ice cream with her cats in her pajamas on saturday night. but about 45 percent of us adults arent married and around one in seven lives alone. this might be you. research shows that young peoples expectations about their marital status (e.g. the desire to be married by 30 and have kids by 32) have little or no relationship to what actually happens to people. so, go with the flow. and, if youre single, youre in good company. single people spend more time with friends, volunteer more, and are more involved in their communities than married people. never-married and divorced women are happier, on average, than married women. so, dont buy into the myth of the miserable singleton.if you do get married, keep going with the flow. relationship satisfaction, financial security, and happy kids are more strongly related to flexibility in the face of lifes challenges than any particular way of organizing families. the most functional families are ones that can bend. so partnering with someone who thinks that one partner should support their families and the other should take responsibility for the house and children is a recipe for disaster. so is being equally rigid about non-traditional divisions of labor. its okay to have ideas about how to organize your family but your best bet for happiness is to be flexible.buying a home is often taken for granted as a stage on the path to adulthood. but the ideal of universal home ownership was born in the 1950s. its a rather new idea.with such a short history, its funny that people often insist that buying a house is a fool-proof investment and the best way to secure retirement. in fact, buying a house may not be the best choice for you. the mortgage(按揭) may be less than rent, but there are also taxes, insurance, and the increasingly common home owners association (hoa) fees. you may someday sell the house for more than you bought it but, if you paid interest on a mortgage, you also paid far more than the sale price. you have freedom from a landlord, but may discover your hoa is just as controlling, or worse. and then theres the headache renting relieves you from the stress of being responsible for repairs. it also offers a freedom of movement that you might cherish.so be wise and consider all your options.40it can be inferred from the passage that_.a. many americans get married by 30 and have kids by 32b. married women have a happier life than those never-marriedc. divorced women lives a miserable lifed. the society tends to have a wrong image about single women41according to the passage, what can be a happy family？a. the happy family is flexible in the face of lifes challenges.b. the happy family has particular way of organizing families.c. the happy family believes the traditional divisions of labor.d. the happy family has relationship satisfaction, financial security and happy kids.42 the purpose of paragraph 3 is to _.a. tell people to rent a house rather than buy a houseb. ask people to think hard about whether to buy a housec. show people buying a house is foolishd. tell people buying a house may cost a lot of money43the passage mainly tells us _.a. how to have a happy familyb. whats the life of american youthc. what american youth should know for living a happy lifed. why american youth should be wise when making decisions【答案】40d41a42b43c【解析】试题分析：本文讲述了美国年轻人要过幸福生活应该要知道的一些事。40d。细节推断题。由第一段的single people, especially women, are stigmatized（指责）eating ice cream with her cats in her pajamas on saturday night.和never-married and divorced women are happier, on average, than married women.可知单身女子并不是不快乐，这些不快乐的形象都是自于人的错误认识。故选d41a。细节题。由第二段的its okay to have ideas y but your best bet for happiness is to be flexible.可知最大的幸福是知道如何去灵活面对一切。故选a42b。主旨归纳题。由第三段buying a house may not be the best choice for you可知 买房并不是最好的选择，由本段then theres the headache renting relieves you from the .可知租房也会使人头痛。所以作者在介绍完两者的缺点后是为了让你做出买还是不买的选择。故选b43c。主旨归纳题。第一段讲述了美国单身女人的生活比已婚女人的幸福生活，二三段讲述了如何去过幸福的生活。故知c正确。考点：考查说明类阅读anna riviere was one of the most admired of 19th-century english sopranos(女高音). she was
