After a few months，he thought of setting up his own factory where he and his wife would put the improved bulb into production. When they made the bulbs, they started selling them. No one was interested in those bulbs, but still, he kept believing in himself.

World’s richest woman Gina Rinehart is suffering a media firestorm over an article in which she blames the middle class for “drinking, or smoking and socializing” rather than working to earn their own fortune. What if she has a point
Steve Siebold, author of “How Rich People Think”, spent nearly three decades interviewing millionaires around the world to find out what separates them from everyone else. It had little to do with money itself, he told Business Insider. It was about their mentality.
Average people think money is the root of all evil (罪恶). Rich people believe poverty is the root of all evil. “The average person has been brainwashed to believe rich people are lucky or dishonest,” Siebold writes. That’s why there’s a certain shame that comes along with getting rich in lower-income communities. “The rich knows that while having money doesn’t guarantee happiness, it does make your life easier and more enjoyable.”
Average people believe you have to do something to get rich. Rich people believe you have to be something to get rich. “While the masses are attached to the doing and the immediate results of their actions, the great ones are learning and growing from every experience, whether it’s a success or a failure, knowing their true reward is becoming a human success machine that eventually produces outstanding results,” he writes.
Average people would rather be entertained than educated. Rich people would rather be educated than entertained. The rich don’t think it a must to earn their wealth through formal education, and they appreciate the power of learning long after college is over, Siebold says. “Walk into a wealthy person’s home and you often see many books used to educate themselves on how to become more successful,” he writes. “The middle class reads novels, tabloids (小报) and entertainment magazines”.
28. What’s the function of the first paragraph
A. To lead in the topic of the text.
B. To describe the life of the middle class.
C. To introduce the richest woman in the world.
D. To show readers the supporting details of the article.
29. Why is it considered a shame when an ordinary man gets rich
A. Probably because he succeeds by dishonest means.
B. Probably because people are misled by false ideas.
C. Probably because he becomes rich by pure chance.
D. Probably because people think of him as the root of evil.
30. According to Siebold, what do the rich think of education
A. Everyone can go to the library for further education.
B. Education should be received through formal ways.
C. Learning should last for one’s whole life.
D. Novels and tabloids bring people poverty.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Rich People Think Differently B. Education or Entertainment
C. Average People Long for Fortune D. How to Earn Wealth
D
When someone is happy, can you smell it
You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile, heating them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug. But can you also smell their happiness Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent, and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell, reports Phys.org.
For the study, 12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them. All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers, and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period.
Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell, while researchers monitored their reactions. Only women were selected to smell the samples, apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling—though it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents.
Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents--particularly their facial expressions--indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them.
"Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell," said study co-author Gun Semin, a professor at Koc University in Turkey.
This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent, but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others. The study also found that other emotions, such as fear, seem to carry a scent too. This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell, but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings.
Researchers have yet to isolate (分离) exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is, but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be. Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented. Scent therapies (香味疗法) could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety.
Perhaps the most surprising result of the study, however, is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated, and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.
32. What is the main finding of the new research
A. Pleasant feelings can be smelt out.
B. Women have a better sense of smell.
C. Men produce more sweats.
D. Negative emotions have a smell.
33. The underlined part "abstain from" in Paragraph 3 probably means __________.
A. practice B .try C. avoid D. continue
34. What is the application value of the new research
A. Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases.
B. Some smells could be created to improve our appearance.
C. Perfumes could help people understand each other.
D. Some smells could be developed to better our mood.
35. We can learn from the last paragraph that _______.
A. people need more emotional communication
B. social surroundings can influence our emotions
C. happiness comes from a scent of sweat
D. positive energy can deepen understanding
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever wondered why sometimes all you want to do is snack
Under normal circumstances, we feel hungry when we have burnt up the food we have eaten as energy and our blood sugar insulin (胰岛素) levels begin to drop. Ghrelin, a hormone connected to appetite, then communicates this to the brain, which is how we feel the need to eat. ______36_______.
1. When you are tired
According to a 2011 study by researchers at Columbia University in the US, those who are sleep-deprived eat almost 300 calories a day more than those who get enough sleep.
______37______. The Columbia Researchers noted that the women who didn’t get enough sleep took in more fat by around 30g on sleep-deprived days --- four times as much as the average increase for men.
2. Troubled times
In a 2013 study, people who were primed to expect “tough times ahead” ate more food than people who got neutral messages. _____38______. It leads to desires for high-calories snacks such as chocolate.
3. ______39_______
Tempted by that extra biscuit Then just enjoy it --- as researchers have found that when you feel guilty about a pleasurable experience, the guilt itself becomes pleasurable, so encouraging you to do it more. “If we consider something naughty pleasure, it can psychologically drive the appetite and the guilt may make you want to eat more,” says Cary Cooper, at the University of Lancaster.
4. Mobile’s blue light
The bright blue light emitted by smartphones and tablets may give an unwelcome boost to your appetite. _____40______.
It also altered people’s metabolism (新陈代谢), as blood tests showed that blue-light subjects had higher insulin and glucose (葡萄糖) levels. One possible explanation is that bright blue light at night confuses our body clock, which has a role in controlling we feel the need to eat.
A. “Naughty” food desires
B. Pleasurable experiences
C. But all sorts of thing can interfere with this process
D. It continued to increase when you are exposed to that
E. Hearing about potential hardship causes a survival instinct to kick in
F. The more you’re attached to such devices, the less you want to have healthy food
G. This is because the levels of hormone which tells the brain to eat increase when we lack sleep

Five years later, she is still the main ______51______ behind one-million-lovely- and has personally written 4,000 letters offering hope and ______52______ to strangers.
The thought behind a letter ______53______ as much as its contents. “I never tell anyone that ______54______ is going to be OK,” Ann Bickley says, “I am letting someone know that there is someone in the world who ______55______ them.”

Melissa was a single parent of three small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight and she had to work hard to make ends meet. But they still felt blessed with a roof over their heads, food on the plate, clothes on their backs, and even if not a lot, always enough. Not knowing they were poor, the kids just thought their mother was strict in money management. Melissa was really glad about that.
Christmas was just around the corner. Although there wasn't budget for a lot of gifts, Melissa planned to please the kids with a family party.

Dear Jack,
Knowing you’re keen on the photos I posted on the WeChat Moments last week, I’m writing to share some relevant details.
This year, the three-day sports meeting started last Friday on school playground, which is a great platform for us to relax ourselves and feel the spirit of movement. Among almost 20 events, what I participated in was the 100-meter dash, which required me to speed up to the extreme in a short time. Unfortunately, I ultimately failed to perform well in the race, making me determined to grasp the opportunity next time through continuing efforts.
That’s all my experience of this event. Would you please share your school life with me Looking forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
读后续写范文
Paragraph 1:
Driving home, everyone was talking about their gifts in high spirits except the youngest daughter, Ginger. Feeling puzzled, Melissa asked what she had bought for Christmas. “Nothing.” Ginger whispered, lowering her head. Other kids stopped talking and turned to Ginger. “Are you kidding Did you lose your money ” They stared at the little girl, their faces lighting up with surprise. Ginger shook her head and said that she gave the bill to a man who was begging outside the supermarket. The man in rags was standing in cold weather. There was no doubt that he was homeless and had a hard time.
“We have so much, but the homeless man doesn't have anything,” Ginger explained. “I am willing to share my happiness with him. I hope he can buy warm clothes or treat himself to a good dinner.” She added, with eyes shining with excitement. Hearing her daughters' words, Melissa felt a sense of pride swept through her. “What you did is right, Ginger. You are such a kind child that we are proud of you,” she said. Arriving home, they had a small party and the other kids offered to share their gifts with Ginger. It was the special experience that made the kids realize sharing is important.
