Some people also keep a diary to write down what theyre thankful for each day. Others show kindness to people every day. In the workplace, some people take the time to tell others how helpful they are. People practice gratitude in different ways every day. Why should we thank the people and the things around us?Gratitude is selfless act. It helps you to learn to be empathetic. If you always know the goodness in life and give thanks to others it will be easier for you to find out the needs of others and to offer help whenever you can. Being empathetic to others opinions and experiences will make you a better parent and friend.Your health condition will be improved if you are always thankful for the people and things around you. According to Robert Emmons, a leading researcher, thankful people always feel healthier, both mentally and physically. Those who are thankful are 25% happier than those who arent.Gratitude is also a useful tool to form better relationships with friends, family members and so on. People who express their gratitude always prefer to forgive others and therefore are able to create long-lasting relationships.The old saying goes Its never too late to say youre sorry, but the same is true of gratitude. Take the time to thank people for their work or kindness-whether it was today, last month or many years ago. Practicing gratitude doesnt take much time, and it will make you happier and healthier. And thats a gift worth celebrating 365 days a year.16 . How many ways of practicing gratitude are mentioned in the passage?AThreeBFourCFiveDSix17 .

They seem to be able to think understand and learn things quickly. But are they smart like humans or more than cats or dogs? Dolphins use their brains differently from people. But scientists say dolphin intelligence and human intelligence are similar in some ways. How?Like humans every dolphin has its own “name”. The name is a special whistle. Each dolphin chooses a specific whistle for itself usually by its first birthday. Actually scientists think dolphins like people “talk” to each other about a lot of things such as their age their feelings or finding food. And like humans dolphins use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. But understanding their conversations is not easy for humans. No one speaks “dolphin” yet but some scientists are trying to learn.Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups and they often join others from different groups to play games and have funjust like people. In fact playing together is something only intelligent animals do.Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both make plans to get something they want. In the seas of southern Brazil for example dolphins use an interesting strategy to get food. When fish are near a boat dolphins show signs to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method the men can catch a lot of fish. What is the advantage for the dolphins in doing so? They get to eat some of the fish.20 . What does the word similar in the last paragraph mean in Chinese?A相反的B相似的C熟恐的D陌生的21 . What does the word other refer to?AOther fishesBOther peopleCOther gamesDOther dolphins22 . What can we infer from the passage?AHumans join dolphins groups to get things we want.BDolphins may help fishermen by using their body language.CDolphins can talk to humans about their age and their feelingsDSome scientists can understand all the sounds made by dolphins23 . Whats the main idea of the passage?ADolphins can communicate with each other at birth.BDolphins are social animals because they play togetherCDolphins are smart and are like humans in some ways.DDolphins help humans do many things like catching fish.Dreams are expressions of thoughts, feelings and events that pass through our mind while we are sleeping. Everybody dreams. But only some people remember their dreams. Our dreams often include all the sensessmells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch. We dream in color. Sometimes we dream the same dream over and over again. These repeated dreams are often unpleasant. They may even be nightmaresbad dreams that frighten us.Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams. Australian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud published a book called The Interpretation(诠释) of Dreams in 1900. Freud believed people often dream about things they want but cant have. These dreams often have something to do with sex and aggression(侵犯). Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams could help people grow and understand themselves. He believed dreams provide solutions(解答) to problems we face when we are awake. He didnt believe dreams hide our feelings about sex or aggression. Today we know more about the science of dreaming because researchers can take pictures of peoples brains while they are sleeping.Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions(感情). Robert Stickgold is a professor of psychiatry at Harvard University in Massachusetts. Doctor Stickgold says that when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world. He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and desiresScientists believe it is important to keep researching dreams. Doctor Stickgold says it has been more than one hundred years since Sigmund Freud published his important book about dreaming. Yet there is still no agreement on exactly how the brain works when we are dreaming or why we dream.24 .

Many people say climbing makes exercise fun. Most gyms have several climbing walls with v38 . degrees of difficulty. The easy ones are like climbing a ladder. The difficult ones bulge out (凸出) in places so that climbers must sometimes climb parallel (平行的) with the floor.Although gym climbing is safer and simpler than real rock climbing, you should still be careful. Always climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls you climbing rope t39 . something called a belay device (绳索控制器). The belay catches you if you slip.
