Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This results from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their words, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves unwelcome everywhere. If this state of mind is founded in nature, such unhappy person would be the more to be shown sympathy. The intention(意图) of criticizing(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its owners. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings about deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people hurt many others. Nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This often puts them in a bad mood and draws them into arguments. If they want to get some advantages in social position or money, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step of speaking a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections(反对), no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them.24. People who are unhappy _.A. always see the unpleasant side of certain things B. are usually born with the criticizing qualities.C. usually misunderstand what others think or say D. always dislike and quarrel with happy people25. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_”.A. have a good taste with social lifeB. tend to praise others openlyC. make others unhappyD. enjoy the pleasure of life26. We can conclude from the passage that _.A. we should pity all such unhappy peopleB. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessC. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeD. unhappy people can not understand happy person27. If such unhappy person insists on keeping the habit, the author suggests people should _.A. quarrel with them until they realize itB. show no respect and politeness to themC. help them to recognize the bad effectsD. prevent any communication with themCIts cold and dark outside，and your bed is so warm and comfortable. Going for a run seems like such a had idea. But before you hide your running shoes，it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.According to The Huffington Post，an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on a treadmill(跑步机)，bums more calories because the body is working hard to regulate(调节)its core temperature. Furthermore, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures-and quicker runs burn more calories. Similarly，cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body，making that vital muscle even stronger.Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day. The heat and humidity in the summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings，making you feel alive.Of course，the threat of smog in some built一up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart attacks stroke, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust(尾气) and go early in the morning，before rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.28. How does cold weather benefit runners compared with warm weather?A . They can run more slowly. B . They can take in more calories.C. Their hearts can function harder. D. Their body temperature can get lower.29. How does summer affect runners?A. It builds up their energy quickly. B. It makes runners tired easily.C. It lessens runners stress. D. It causes heart attack.30. What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?A. Stop driving cars. B. Do more exercise.C. Avoid outdoor exercise. D. Run late in the morning.31. What can be the best title of the text?A. Refresh with a Winter Run B. Take Outdoor Exercise in SummerC. Go to Run in a Park D. Follow the Tips to Reduce StressD“Freelance retail consultant” refers to daigou in Chinese, or overseas people who buy goods for customers in the Chinese mainland.Its estimated that there are 40,000 daigou in Australia, most of whom are young migrants or international students looking for ways to help cover their rent and university cost.These freelance retail consultants have created thousands of trading routes, both small and big, into China.Shops in Australia sold out of instant formula(婴儿配方奶粉)，leaving many Australia parents unable to buy their preferred brands. The Sydney Morning Herald reported last year that half of Australias infant formula sold went to China through customers selling to other customers.Because of this, daigou have received criticism from Australia media. The Sydney Morning post even suggested that the Australia government should put a limit on instant formula exports.However, not everyone dislikes daigou. “We think daigou are good for both the local economy and they are very good for our business,” Peter Nathan, the chief executive of A2 Milk, a New Zealand infant formula maker, told Reuters. “We clearly believe they are a positive force.”Others agree that nothing is wrong with the practice. “People are buying these products legally on the Australia market theyre not illegally being exported to China,” Tim Foulds, head of research at Euro monitor Australia and New Zealand, told The Washington Post.32 .Why do most daigou in Australia buy goods for Chinese customers?A. To improve living conditions.B. To satisfy import demand.C. To pay their expenses.D. To get sales experience.33 .According to the passage, which of the following is right?A. Australian parents criticize daigou.B. Consumers prefer milk made in Australia.C. Australian government has limited exports.D. Different ideas about daigou exist in Australia.34. We can infer from the last two paragraphs that .A. the practice of daigou will balance supply and demandB. daigou will probably be welcomed in New ZealandC. infant formula will grow in popularity in ChinaD. daigou will be a legal job in Australia soon35. Whats the attitude of the author to Daigou?A. Supportive. B. Doubtful.C. Negative. D. Objective.第二节：（共5小题; 每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Stress is a popular cause of major diseases affecting people worldwide.
