The question is “How are you?”.The answer Americans give, of course is, “Fine.” But when Russians hear this they think one of two things: you are experiencing a rare moment of fineness or you are lying.Ask a Russian, “How are you?” and you will hear, for better or worse, the truth. I have experienced many painful minutes of silence after my grandmother made her stock response: “Terrible,” to which she might add, “Why? Because being old is terrible and I am very old.”“Fine makes Russians think that Americans have no soul,” I explained recently to an American-born friend. “That they just want to go home, eat a frozen dinner in front of the TV, and wait out the hours before going to work to make money again.” He laughed, “You know, theres something to that.”The thing most Russians dont realize is that, in English, “How are you?” isnt a question at all, but a form of “hi”, like the Russian “privyet!” Psychologists at the University of Michigan have shown that, while Russians are, indeed, easier to be depressed than Americans, their open acceptance of bad experiences might be healthier. Recently, when I looked through a few American guides on traveling to Russia, I was disappointed to find that they all suggested that tourists adopt the American approach to “How are you”.56. When you ask a Russian “how are you” the Russian will _. A. answer “fine” B. tell you the truth C. make no answer D. get angry and walk away57. If an American answers “fine” to the question “how are you”, the Russian will think _. A. he is not honest B. he will go home C. he likes watching TV D. he is living a bad life58. We can infer Russians answer to “how are you” can make Americans feel _. A. happy B. angry C. puzzled D. touchedBNearly 6 million high school students play team sports, and another 20 million children take part in recreational(娱乐的)or competitive sports out of school. Sports activities help children and teenagers stay fit, learn about teamwork, and develop self-confidence. But playing a sport also brings the risk of injury. Each year, over 775,000 children under age 15 are treated in hospitals for sports-related injuries, about 80 percent of which are from playing football, basketball or baseball. Most of injuries are mild, but they can cause great inconveniences for both children and their parents. And if not treated properly, such an injury can become a more serious one and causes life-long problems. Tips for preventionBefore your child starts a training program or enters a competition, take him or her to the doctor for a physical exam. Make sure your child wears all the required safety gear(装备) every time he or she plays and practices. Know how the sports equipment should fit your child and how to use it. If youre not sure, ask the coach or a sporting expert for help. Insist that your child warm up before playing, paying special attention to the muscles that will get the most use during play. Teach your child not to play through pain. If your child gets injured, see your doctor. Follow all the doctors orders for recovery, and get the doctors OK before your child returns to play. Make sure first aid(援助)is available at all games and practices. Talk to and watch your childs coach. Coaches should tell all the rules of the game, encourage safe play, and understand the special injury risks that young players face. Above all, keep sports fun. Putting too much attention on winning can make your child push too hard and risk injury. 59. It can be inferred from the passage that_.

Researchers at Princeton University are looking for new ways to measure a persons sense of wellbeing with mobile devices.To gain a better understanding of how cellphones and other mobile devices can measure our sense of happiness, the research team conducted a study that was published recently in the journal Demography. To gather data for their study, the team created an application for mobile devices using the Android operating system. Once the app was developed, the researchers invited people to download it and take part in their study. Over a three-week period, the research team was able to collect data from some 270 participants living in 13 countries.Participants came not only from the United States, but also from other nations like Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, Norway, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.Over the course of the study, participants received occasional text questions from the researchers that asked “How happy are you?”. Along with recording their response, the app used the mobile devices built-in GPS to keep track of the participants location.The study participants were asked to rate their current state of happiness on a scale of zero to five. As they gathered data from the information collected through the application, the researchers then were able to create new methods that could help provide a better understanding of how our surroundings can influence our emotional well-being.The researchers learned that mobile devices can provide an effective way to quickly grab information that, because of todays active lifestyle, can be difficult to record. Being able to quickly grab this information was something the researchers felt was important. They said feelings and emotions that were recorded as they were happening were most likely to be more honest and precise than using other methods like writing down how they felt on a piece of paper after the fact.63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. The study the team conducted has not been published yet. B. About 270 people from 13 countries participated in the study. C. The participants didnt need to download the app to participate. D. None of the participants came from the United Kingdom.64. What did the researchers find vital as to rate peoples sense of happiness from the passage? A. Recording peoples feelings and emotions quickly. B. Writing down how they felt on a piece of paper. C. Answering the text question “How happy are you?” D. Knowing how the surroundings affect peoples happiness.65. The underlined word in the first paragraph probably refers to _. A. emotion B. wealth C. happiness D. technology66. The best title of the passage is most likely to be “_”. A. Peoples Sense of Happiness Related to Mobile Phones B. Scientists Track Happiness with Cellphones C. Methods to Rate Peoples Happiness D. A Better Understanding of Peoples Sense of HappinessDIn high school, “cool” is the rule, so teenagers will do anything to avoid possibly embarrassing situations.But not Samantha Elton, 15.
