With two teenage boys and three little boys, our family is restless- to the baseball field, track field (田径场) and piano lessons. Even though weve limited（限制） each boys activities and try our best to spare some time for the family, it seems that were always in a hurry.Accept it. Roll with it, my husband, Lonny, says, Its going to be like this for a while.He is right. Its likely that life will continue to go forward before it slows down. But I remembered the peaceful, quiet days that our family used to enjoy. I missed long walks through the park when we held the boys little hands. I wished for lazy Saturday afternoons under the tree in our backyard. I wanted to go back a few years, when busyness was the exception and not the rule（惯例）One night, after a particularly ful day and evening games, our family gathered on the porch (门廊) for ice cream. Two parents, two teens, and three small boys sat on one old swing and a couple of rocking chairs. We were together, in one place, for a short period of time.The moon was full. The Mississippi River, flowing past our home, was smooth as glass. I put my own arms around the son who sat on my lap and breathed in deeply his little-boy smell -dirt and sweat. My heart was peaceful and satisfied.I realized that though crazy is our new normal, happiness is as usual. They may look different from before, but they are still there - even if theyre in the form of a single moment on the porch. Maybe I just need the eyes to see.（1）What does the writer mainly talk about?A . Her tiredness of her busy life.B . Her familys struggle for a better lifeC . Her new feelings about the present lifeD .

Researchers from Israel found that our given names may have something to do with our facial (面部的) appearances.Lead writer Yonat Zwebner of a university, along with her team, did eight different experiments (实验) in Israel and France. The different experiments were set up to answer two main questions: whether people can correctly guess a persons name based only on a photo of a face and what is behind this matching effect.During the experiments, researchers asked students to look at photos of peoples faces and guess each persons name from a list of four choices. They correctly guessed the right name 38 percent of the time, which was better than the 25 percent of a random (随机的) guess.Whats more, when the faces the students looked at came from within their own country, they were able to best match the faces to the names. French students were better at matching only French names and faces while Israeli students were better at matching only Hebrew names and Israeli faces.Researchers believe it is possible that people change their appearances without paying attention to it, to match their names. One study especially backed up this idea, showing that a hairstyle, something that can be changed by people easily, was enough to guide others in correctly guessing their names.“Earlier research has shown there are cultural stereotypes (偏见) carried by names, including how someone should look. For example, people are more likely to imagine a person named Bob to have a rounder face than a person named Tim. We believe these stereotypes can, over time, influence peoples facial appearances,” Zwebner said.The results of the experiments may even make parents think twice when choosing a name for their children.“If a name can influence appearance, it can influence many other things. This research opens an important direction that may suggest how parents should consider better the names for their children,” said Zwebner, who recently had a baby herself.“As parents, it was really difficult for us to name our 12-day-old daughter as we know the meanings of names.”（1）One of the purposes of the experiments is to _. A . give the students a chance to know each otherB . explain what influences our facial appearancesC . find out different characteristics carried by different namesD . see if people can correctly guess a persons name based only on a photo of a face（2）People could match the faces to the names more easily . A . when they did a random guessB . when the faces are from other countriesC . when the faces are from their own countryD . when they have more knowledge themselves（3）The underlined part “backed up” in Paragraph 6 most probably means “ ”. A . supportedB . changedC . comparedD . cancelled（4）Paragraph 6 and Paragraph 7 are mainly to show . A . the results of changing namesB . names have something to do with appearancesC . the importance of cultural stereotypes carried by namesD . the importance of a hairstyle in guessing different looks（5）According to Zwebner, we know that . A . facial appearances may influence namesB . we shouldnt think of others just according to their namesC . a name may influence many things and should be well chosenD . we should pay less attention to the meanings of names and be ourselves三、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共6分)6. （6分）请仔细阅读、内容，从A、B、C、D中找出与其相对应的选项，并回答最后小题。 We know health and happiness are important to our life.
