When I told her I was writing a book called Happy for No Reason, which focuses on the 21 characteristics of happy people, she told me about something she does with her 95-year-old father, Charlie, which keeps him smiling and feeling good.Therese moved in with Charlie during a bad time in both their lives. Charlies wife had just died, Therese was at the end of a painful divorce, and money was tight. They were as miserable as any two people could be. But they decided to sit together for a few minutes each morning before Therese headed off to work and tell each other three things they were grateful for in their lives.“It was slow going at the beginning,” Therese told me. “The first time we did it, I had a hard time thinking of even one thing I was grateful for.” Finally, she looked around the room and saw a vase she liked. She told Charlie: “Im grateful for how pretty that vase is.” It sounded silly, but it was the best she could do. And soon, she and Charlie noticed that even a thank-you for something small had a good effect.Soon, Therese and Charlie started to notice that more and more things were going their way. Even their money situation improved. Three thank-yous became five, then ten, and soon they had to stop listing the good things in their lives, otherwise Therese would have been late for work.One day, they were feeling so happy after finishing their lists that Charlie started singing the song “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning.” Therese joined in. Now “saying their thank-yous” and singing together has become one of the highlights of their day.Once, after going through a heartbreak, a friend told me to write down five things I was grateful for each night before I went to bed. At first I struggled to come up with anything, but I continued doing it every night and over time the pain in my heart eased.Try doing the gratitude exercise yourself. Every night before you go to sleep, list five things that youre grateful for that day, and notice how you feel when you wake up the next morning. A grateful heart can send your happiness level soaring.56. Therese and her father met with many problems EXCEPT that_.A. Thereses father was seriously ill B. Thereses father had lost his wifeC. they didnt have enough money D. Therese had been through a divorce57. What can we conclude from Paragraphs 3-4?A. Therese gradually found it was waste of her time to list the good things in her life.B. A thank-you for something small brought them good fortune.C. Therese found there were more and more things worthy of gratefulness.D. Therese and Charlie found more people who were willing to help them.58. The author found that doing the gratitude exercise_. A.cured her of her heart disease B. made no difference to her lifeC. exhausted her for the effort she put into it D. helped her pull through difficult times59. With the story of Therese and her father, the author intends to tell us that_.A. having a grateful heart leads to happinessB. happiness does not come easilyC. misfortunes never come one at a timeD. you have to believe that time will ease your painBIn the old days children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. This is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during the birth of a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we transfer them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally ill patients-even when those patients are their parents. This deprives(剥夺) patient of significant family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed approximately 500 terminally ill patients in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed y the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome.It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients communications in order to truly understand their needs, fears, and fantasies(幻想). Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their tremendous need to be informed, to be kept up-to-date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the approach of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance prior to death.60The elders of contemporary Americans _.Awere often absent when a family member was born or dyingBusually witnessed the birth or death of a family memberC were quite unfamiliar with birth and deathDhad often experienced the fear of death as part of life61Children in America today are denied the chance _.Ato visit dying patients B to learn how to face deathCto attend to patients Dto have access to a hospital62The need of a dying patient for company shows _.Ahis pessimistic attitude towards his conditionBhis fear of approaching deathC his desire for communication with other peopleDhis reluctance to part with his family63It may be concluded from the passage that _.Adying patients are afraid of being told of the approach of deathBmost doctors and nurses understand what dying patients needCmost patients are unable to accept death until it is obviously inevitableD dying patients should be truthfully informed of their conditionCALBERT Einstein had the idea. It stayed true for over a century. It is one of the cornerstones of physics. Nothing travels faster than light.However, Einsteins special relativity theory has almost been proven wrong. In September, scientists discovered that a kind of neutrino (中微子) could travel faster than light. The result was greeted with some doubt when it was released because anyone who has ever doubted special relativity theory before has been proven wrong. The debate has been going on for the past two months. But so far, the result still holds.In the original experiment, physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) sent a beam of tiny subatomic particles called neutrinos from their lab near Geneva to a detector 730 kilometers away in Italy. The neutrinos got there 60 nanoseconds (纳秒，十亿分之一秒) sooner than the light.That tiny amount of time may completely change our understanding of the laws of nature because modern physics has been based on Einsteins special relativity theory since he first came up with it in 1905. The theory states that time slows down for an object traveling at the speed of light, and that space shrinks. If proven to be true, the new finding may lead to a revolutionary change, not only in the basic principles of physics but also in our concept of space and time. Theoretically people would be able to travel back in time.Doubtful physicists questioned the carefulness of CERNs time measuring and analysis. CERN therefore did the experiment again with more accurate measurements in October. The new result was released on November 17 and once again, the neutrinos beat a light beam sent to the Gran Sasso laboratory in Italy by 60 nanoseconds.Christos Touramanis, who heads a neutrino research team at Britains Liverpool University, agreed that the new test had ruled out some possible sources of errors, but said that “a number of other possible effects” still needed to be checked. “Ultimately, full independent confirmation will be required before accepting this result as accurate,” he told Reuters.64. The scientists at CERN drew the conclusion that _.A. Einsteins special relativity theory was completely wrongB. our understanding of the laws of nature should be changedC. there may be a kind of particle which can travel faster than the speed of lightD. their experiments backed up the theories of modern physics65. What is the impact of the new finding according to the article? A. It will be helpful for space research. B. It might prove that Einsteins special relativity theory is wrong. C. It will help scientists to find a new detector. D. It will completely change peoples understanding of the universe.66. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article? A. It will be easy for people to travel in time. B. Some scientists doubted that the speed of the neutrinos was accurate. C. No matter can travel faster than the speed of light. D. No one has ever doubted special relativity theory before.DA few days ago I asked my sons governess（女家庭教师）Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia,” I said, “Lets settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe youre too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month.”“Forty.”“No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, youve been here two months, so.”“Two months and five days.”“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays. you know you didnt work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays. ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but - not a word.“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven nineteen. Take nineteen off . that leaveshmm forty-one dollars. Correct？”Julias left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but - still not a word.“Around New Years Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but- forget it. When didnt I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect(疏忽) , Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dicks shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”“You didnt. ”sobbed Julia. “But I made a note of it.” “Well. if you say so.”“Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl! “Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”“Really? You see now, and I didnt know that! Take three from fourteen. leaves eleven. Heres your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is!”I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.“Merci（法语: 谢谢）,”she whispered.I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this - merci?” I asked.“For the money.”“But you know Ive cheated you - robbed you! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this merci？”“In my other places t
