In 1971, readers around the world were astonished by some photographs which appeared in newspapers. Hidden deep in the rainforests of an island in the Philippines, was an ethnic (种族的) 36 called the Ta
12345678910下一页saday. Not until that moment did anyone have any 37 of these people. They didn’t have an agricultural economy; they hunted animals and 38 fruit from the plants in the rainforest. They carried tools made of stone, lived in 39 and wore clothes made of leaves. Unknown until 1971, they 40 became world famous. After that, there were TV 41 and books about them; people said their simple lives showed that human beings could be good and kind if they were not 42 by modern life. Then after 1974 the region was closed by the government and the world 43 about them.
In 1986, a Swiss journalist, Oswald Iten, decided to visit the Tasaday. The journey 44 thick rainforests and across rivers was hard and dangerous. Mr. Iten was 45 killed by the soldiers, villagers and businessmen who wanted to take the wood from the rainforest. Finally, Mr. Iten 46 and found the caves of the Tasaday 47 . The people were living in nearby huts and they were all 48 jeans and T-shirts, not leaves. He thought that perhaps they were not an ethnic minority 49 .
When he 50 to Switzerland, Mr. Iten wrote about the Tasaday people in the newspapers. He said he thought that they were just ordinary farmers, poor, but not 51 from anyone else. He believed that in 1971, the government told “the Tasaday” to 52 they were native people from thousands of years ago, so that tourists---and money---would start 53 into the region.
One group of experts said that they really were people who had no 54 with modern life before 1971; another group said they were just 55 the part. So who are these people, really? Perhaps we’ll never really be sure.

A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves ? the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. But we really shouldn’t be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solves problems, and calm ourselves down. Beware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying, “Good job!”
Words possess power because of t
12345678910下一页heir lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.
Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motive others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
56.The author argues in the first paragraph that ________.
A.words will never hurt us at all
B.words have lasting effects on us
C.positive effects last longer than negative effects
D.negative words last longer than positive effects
57.Why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves?
A.Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.
B.It does harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone.
C.Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.
D.Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.
58.The underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back” in Paragraph 3 means _________.
A.blame ourselves B.punish ourselves
C.praise ourselves D.talk to ourselves
59.Which of the following statements would the author agree to?
A.It is better to think twice before talking to others.
B.It is impossible for unkind words to be forgotten.
C.Words always possess long positive effects.
D.Kind words are sometimes not needed at all.

It was a winter morning，just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005.While most people were warming up their cars，Trevor, my husband，had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work.On arrival，he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does

“My kids really understand solar and earth-heat energy,” says a second-grade teacher in Saugus, California. “Some of them are building solar collectors for their energy course.” These young scientists are part of City Building Educational Program (CBEP), a particular program for kindergarten through twelfth grade that uses the stages of city planning to teach basic reading, writing and math skills and more.
The children don’t just plan any city. They map and analyze (分析) the housing, energy, and transportation requirements of their own district and foretell its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an architect (建筑师) who visits the classroom once a week, they invent new ways to meet these needs and build models of their creations. “Designing buildings of the future gives children a lot of freedom,’’ says the teacher who developed this program. “They are able to use their own rich imagination and inventions without fear of blame, because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact, as the class enters the final model-building stage of the program, an elected ‘official’ and ‘planning group’ make all the design decisions for the model city and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser.
CBEP is a set of activities, games and imitations that teach the basic steps necessary for problem-solving: observing, analyzing, working out possible answers, and judging them based on the children’s own standards.
64.The program is designed to_________.
A. direct kids to build solar collectors
B. train young scientists for city planning
C. develop children’s problem-solving abilities
D. help young architects know more about designing.
65.An architect pays a weekly visit to the classroom to ________.
A. find out kids’ creative ideas B. help kids with their program
C. discuss with the teacher D. give children a lecture
66.Who is the designer of the pro
12345678910下一页gram?
A. An official. B. An architect. C. A teacher. D. A scientist
67.The children feel free in the program because __________.
A. they can design future buildings themselves
B. they have new ideas and rich imagination
C. they are given enough time to design models
D. they need not worry about making mistakes
D
Over the last 70 years.researchers have been studying happy and Unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference.Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes.However of all the factors，wealth and age are the top two.
Money can buy a degree of happiness.But once you can afford to feed，clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference.
Researchers find that，on average，wealthier people are happier.But the link between money and happiness is complex.In the past half-century, average income has sharply increased in developed countries，yet happiness levels have remained almost the same.Once your basic needs are met，money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends，neighbors and colleagues.
“Dollars buy Status(社会地位)，and status makes people feel better,” conclude some experts，which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways-scientists or actors，for example-may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.
In a research，Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires-not just for money，but for friends，family, job，health-rose furthest beyond what they already had，tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap(差距).Indeed，the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone.“The gap measures just blow away the only measures of income，”says Michalos.
Another factor that has to do with happiness is age.Old age may not be so bad.“Given all the problems of aging，how could the elderly be more satisfied?” asks
12345678910下一页Professor Laura Carstensen.
Why are old people happier? Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it，or they're more realistic about their goals，only setting ones that they know they can achieve.But Carstensen thinks that with time running out，older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don't.
“People realize not only what they have，but also that what they have cannot-last forever,” she says.“A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85，for example，may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20.”68.According to the passage，the feeling of happiness _________.
A.has little to do with wealth B.increases gradually with age
C.is measured by desires D.is determined partly by genes
69.Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs _________.
A.make them feel much better B.provide chances to make friends
C.improve their social position D.satisfy their professional interests
70.Aged people are more likely to feel happy because they are more _________.
A.optimistic B.practical C.successful D.emotional
71.Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less happy if __________.
A.the gap between reality and desire is bigger
B.they have a stronger desire for friendship
C.their income is below their expectation
D.the hope for good health is greater
