7、Pay monthly fees in time.BFeel Happier Today When I learned that the most popular course in the history of Yale Universitya psychology class designed to teach students how to become happierwas available online to anyone who wanted to take it,I decided I had to see what it was all about.After all,I&#

8、39;ve been writing about happiness for years,offering techniques and advice from researchers who found that this idea or that habit can boost well-being.I was curious to see what Yale professor Laurie Santos was recommending,but I assumed I'd already be familiar with many of the concepts.So I in

9、vited my husband,Ian,to take the course with me.I wanted to see how someone who hadn't heard it all before reacted. Santos's online course consists of 19 hours of video lectures and is supposed to take ten weeks to complete,but Ian and I spent three months soaking up what she had to offer.We

10、 learned that the things we tend to think will make us happierbigger paychecks,nicer homes,slimmer bodiesdon't actually add joy to our lives.But practices such as exercising more,socializing,getting enough sleep,and enjoying free time over making money do. "These constant practices are real

11、ly what's required to increase your happiness," Santos told me after Ian and I completed her course. "It's like a tire that you put air into.Occasionally it leaks,and you have to put more air into it.It's not a one-time thing where you learn it and you're good.You actually

12、have to put the work in." Although part of the course focuses on the desire to get good grades and land the perfect job,we realized that these lessons aren't helpful just for college students；Ian and I are both middle-aged,with six children between us,and most of what Santos said was releva

13、nt to us. "What the science suggests is that these tips apply cross-culturally,across ages,and no matter what job you have," Santos says.After taking the course,I'm convinced that anyone who adopts and practices the strategies that Santos suggests can truly become happier.4. What does

14、the underlined part "boost well-being" in Paragraph 1 mean？ _ A. Focus on fitness.B. Improve happiness.C. Make achievements.D. Deal with stress.5. What is actually needed to make you happy,according to Santos？ _ A. Having much money to spend.B. Having a good time at a party.C. Living in a

Doubtful.CKite surfing is a sport that takes place on the surface of the water,on top of boards that are similar in design to wakeboards（尾波滑水板），with the surfer pulled by a kite.The popularity of ki

17、te surfing has grown,although it is rather difficult to master.Kite surfing uses the same equipment as kite boarding,but is generally given more to riding on top of waves,rather than on smaller lakes or other calm bodies of water. Early experiments in kite transportation took place through the 19th

18、century,and at the dawn of the 20th century Samuel Cody crossed the English Channel using kites and a small boat.Kite surfing itself,however,wasn't really born until the late 1970s.Beginning in that decade,more people became involved in using kites for personal transport and sport.Kite technolog

19、y itself advanced enormously during the 1970s,with kites becoming much more controllable. The early kite surfing was rather accidental,but innovators continued to develop the technology to make it easier to control and safer.By the late 1990s,kite surfing was becoming popular off the coast of Maui,F

20、rance and throughout the world.In 1997，a special kite system was built specifically for kite surfing,which helped kite surfing into the mainstream. Because of the high speeds and the dangers,it is generally recommended that would-be kite surfers take at least a few basic classes to learn the fundame

21、ntals.The main attraction of kite surfing is the potential for amazing tricks.The kite allows the surfer to experience enormous jumps,flying through the air for large distances before hitting the water in a controlled fashion.Like skateboarding,kite surfing makes use of a number of board grabs,with

22、complex tricks possible due to the long period of time the surfer can remain in the air.8. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in Paragraph 1？ _ A. What is kite surfing.B.

Its big distance over the water.DIt has been found in South Australia that a worm-like creature about the size of a grain of rice is the oldest ancestor o

25、n the family tree that includes humans and most animals.The creature lived about 535 million years ago. It is considered to be an evolutionary step forward for early life on Earth. Researchers have been working hard to find evidence of the common ancestor of most animals.Developing its body structur

26、e and organization successfully allowed life to move in specific,purposeful directions.This includes everything from worms and dinosaurs to amphibians（兩棲動物） and humans.But for our common ancestor,they knew that fossils（化石） of the tiny,simple creatures they imagined would be nearly impossible to find

27、 because of its size and soft body.Then,they turned to fossilized burrows（動物洞穴），dated to the Ediacaran Period,found in South Australia. For 15 years,scientists knew the burrows were created by the creature.There was no evidence of what made the burrows and lived in them until researchers decided to

28、take a closer look at the burrows.Geology professor Mary Droser spotted impressions shaped like ovals（橢圓形） near the burrows. A 3-D laser scan revealed the impressions containing evidence of a body shaped and sized like a rice grain,with a noticeable head and tail which suggested it had muscles.The m

29、uscles would have enabled the creature to move and create the burrows,like the way a worm moves.And the size of the creature matched with the size of the burrows they found.12. What does the underlined word "It" mean in the first paragraph？ _ A. A family tree.B. A grain of rice.C. A worm-l

30、ike creature.D. An evolutionary step.13. What did the researchers do during the study？ _ A. They developed the creature in the expected way.B. They studied a large number of worms and dinosaurs.C.
