How do you live to 100? Here,4 of the countrys centenarians(百岁老人)give their advice on staying youthful.Pilar Fernandez, 101She lives with her daughter Pili, granddaughters Flori and Ana in Ambas，Asturias，northern Spain. Fernandez suffered hunger and hardship during the war years alongside her nine brothers and sisters. To avoid history repeating itself, she limited herself to just one child. From pure fear, I didnt have anymore, says Fernandez. One of the best things for her health, she says, is tending livestock(家畜) and a vegetable garden.Maximino San Miguel, 102He lives in Leon, northern Spain. San Miguel discovered his passion for amateur dramatics at the age of 80 and has participated in many local productions. He didnt go to school as a child because he was sent to work as a shepherd(牧羊人). He prefers reading books about drawing and travelling. Now this hobby, he said, has kept him full of energy.Pedro Rodriguez, 106He lives in Cangas de Onis, Asturias, northern Spain. Rodriguez plays the piano every day in the living room of the flat where he lives with his wife who is nearly 20 years younger than him, Their daughters visit them often. His hobby is something that he feels has kept him young. The nuns(修女) taught me how to play the piano as a child, he says.Francisco Nunez, 112He is from Bienvenida, Badajoz, southern Spain. Nunez lives with his daughter. He says he doesnt like the pensioners daycare center because it s full of old people, whose negative attitude towards life affects him deeply sometimes. Despite his old age, he has always maintained(保持)a youthful outlook, and that is what has kept him going on.21. What benefits her health according to Pilar Fernandez?A. Having more children. B. Learning history.C. Living with kids. D. Doing gardening.22. What does Maximino San Miguel want to do most in his life now?A. Working as a shepherd. B. Reading books.C. Taking up painting. D. Going travelling.23. Why does Francisco Nunez dislike living with other old people?A. They may depend on his help.B. He is sensitive to his old age.C. They may affect his attitude to life.D. He has more kids to look after at home.24. What can we infer about the four old people from the text?A. They are fond of exercising regularly.B. They led a hard life when they were young.C. They have the same hobbies in their free time.D. They have their own method of staying youthful.BThe other afternoon I was playing the piano when my seven-year-old walked in. He stopped and listened a while, and then said: Mom ,you dont play that thing very well, do you?No, I dont. I am a piano lesson dropout. The fine points of fingering totally escape me. I play everything at half-speed, with many wrong notes. My performance would make any serious music student wince (退缩），but I dont care. Ive enjoyed playing the piano badly for years.Unfortunately, doing things badly has gone out of style. It used to be a mark of class if a lady or gentleman sang a little, painted a little, played the violin a little. You didnt have to be good at it; the point was to be fortunate enough to have the free time for such pursuits（追求）. But in todays competitive world we have to be experts even in our hobbies.We used to do these things for fun or simply to relax. Have you noticed what this is doing to our children? “We dont want that dodo(笨蛋）on our soccer team,” I overheard a ten-year-old boy the other day. “He doesnt know a goal kick from a head shot.” The boy was talking about my son. Im sorry, Son, I blew it. In my day when we played softball on the comer lot, we expected to give a little instruction to the younger kids who didnt know how. It didnt matter if they were terrible. Sometimes we didnt even keep score. To us, sports were just a way of having a good time.I dont think kids have as much fun as they used to. Competition keeps getting in the way. I think its time we put a stop to all this. We should take up something new and enjoy being a beginner; and rediscover the joy of creative fooling around. If you find it difficult, ask any two-year-old to teach you. Tow-year-olds have a gift for dealing with the impossible with enthusiasm; repeated failure hardly discourages them at all.25. Why does the author play the piano badly?A. She is uninterested in it.B. She has unskillful fingers.C. She never took a piano lesson.D. She has a bad memory for notes.26. What does the author say about people in her time?A. They cared little for entertainment.B. They were experts in their hobbies.C. They lacked competitive spirit in their work.D. They followed their hobbies just for recreation.27. What do we know about the 10-year-old boy?A. He refused to obey. B. He liked to help others.C. He was highly competitive. D. He preferred to play alone.28. What does the author advise readers to do in the last paragraph?A. Think before they act.B. Learn from their children.C. Find the pleasure out of interest.D. Keep practicing until they succeed.CIn a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school, The psychologists at the University of Chicago Sian Beilock and Susan Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn: If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills, then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math. If these girls keep getting math-anxious female teachers in later grades, it may create a snowball effect on their math achievement said Levine. The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are, then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident. Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult, teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn and teach. The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone.The new study found that when a teacher has anxiety about math, that feelingcan influence how her female students feel about math. The new study involved 65 girls,52 boys and 17 first- and second-grade teachers in elementary schools in the Midwest. The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year, and the researchers compared the scores.The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed that a math superstar had to be a boy. Then the researchers turned to the teachers: To find out which teachers were anxious about math, the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math, such as when reading a sales receipt. A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt, for example, was probably anxious about math.Boys, on average, were unaffected by a teachers anxiety. On average, girls with math-anxious teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the study did. Plus, on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy,20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at math - and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety.29.What is the result of the research at the University of Chicago, according to the first paragraph?A. Girls comfortable with their own math skills are better than boys at math.B. Girls uncomfortable with their own math skills are not as good as boys at math.C. Female teachers math skills have influence over girl students math skills.D. Female teachers confidence in their math skills is related to girls math skills.30. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 most probably means that girls may _.A .end up learning math anxiety from their teachersB. change the ways their female teachers behave.C. have an influence on their math-anxious female teachers.D. gain unexpected achievement in such subjects as math.31.What is the finding of the new study?A. No male students were affected by their teachers anxiety.B. Almost all the girls got lower scores in the tests than the boys.C. About 30% of the girls though boys were better at math than girls .D. Girls with math-anxious teachers all failed in the math tests.DBad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking peoples e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The if it bleeds rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and dont care how youre feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You dont want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communicatione-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversationsfound that it tended to be more positive than negative, but that didnt necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious(传染性): Why Things Catch On.”32 .What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?A. News reports. B. Research papers.C .Private e-mails. D. Daily conversations33. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?A. Theyre socially inactive. B. Theyre good at telling stories.C. Theyre inconsiderate of others. D. Theyre careful with their words.34.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Bergers research?A . Sports new. B. Science articles.C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews.35 .What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Sad Stories Travel Far and WideB .Online News Attracts More PeopleC. Reading Habits Change with the TimesD. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks笫二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。How kids Express GratitudeTaking time as a family to practice gratitude doesnt have to be difficult or time-consuming and the benefits your children will get are great.
