B How I Turned to Be OptimisticI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunts house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really losthaving to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to the hard times.My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.61.

In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup(民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men. 66. What can be the best title of the text?A. Happiness Varies with AgesB. Experience More, Worry LessC.

What would the author probably talk about next?A. What influences happiness. B. How to live better.C. How to keep happier. D. Why women are less happier.70. The author is intended to _. A. advise how to reduce stress B. introduce a scientific finding C. describe the process of doing research D. talk about human emotionsDEuropes first major university department to promote research into government and public policy will open in Oxford under new plans.In a hugely significant move, Oxford University will create a new school of government in 2012 following a 75 million donation by Leonard Blavatnik, the American industrialist and philanthropist(慈善家). The school is intended to train outstanding graduates from across the world in the skills and responsibilities of government. The move is being backed by world leaders including Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton and Kofi Annan.Andrew Hamilton, Oxfords vice-chancellor, said: “The school represents a huge milestone in Oxfords history. It will give tomorrows leaders the best of Oxfords traditional strengths alongside new and practical ways of understanding and meeting the challenges of good governance.”“The university has educated 26 British Prime Ministers and over 30 other world leaders, yet until now the major international schools of government have all been outside Europe, principally in the United States.”Under plans, the Blavatnik School of Government will provide a series of practical courses leading to a Masters degree. It will cover a range of subjects including the humanitie
