16、Winter is cold, with piles of snow,

When rain falls and no trees grow.

For kids it’s the snow they desire,

And cups of cocoa before the fire.

When winter is gone, the grass grows,

Roses and trees, light wind blows

The bees are buzzing, the birds are singing,

Sheep are grazing and cow bells are ringing.

And then the sun starts to shine too brightly,

It is so hot that fans are put on nightly.

And then it’s off to the beach or pool,

Where people swim about just to keep cool.

All the leaves on the trees turn golden-brown,

And when on the ground make a big sound.

In autumn a lot of money he spends,

For clearing leaves on the backyards.

Each season has its own goods and its bads,

But since they are different I am glad.

17、 Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people who worried about getting older.

Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they said, by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.

The fndings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the US. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.

The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.

Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25.

The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.

The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.

The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Researchers said they didn't know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.

Professor Stone said the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.

The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.

1．According to the survey of the Gallup Organization, people are most likely to become happier

A．when they are 18 years old B．when they are in their twenties

C．when they come to their old age D．when they are between the ages of 18 and 85

2．You may have the highest level of stress when you are at the age of _____.

A．20 B．25 C．35 D．40

3．According to Arthur Stone, old people may _______.

A．control their behaviors better B．know how to spend money wisely

C．dream about good things every day D．have a positive attitude towards their life

4．Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage?

A．Those who suffer from mental stress. B．Those who feel unhappy all the time.

C．Those who are worried about getting old. D．Those who are single and unemployed.

5．Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A．The Older, the Happier B．What Makes the Elder Happy?

C．The Young Are Happier Than the Old D．Women Are Easier to Be Happy in Life

18、Yesterday the police were joined by more than 20 volunteers in the continuing search for the two missing teenagers, Vicky Gray and Tom Hunter, and their guide, Gavin Jones. The police said that they had disappeared during an adventure tour of Cape York Peninsula.

This was the second day of the search and the police were now very worried about the safety of the three missing people.

The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rainforest was thick and their work was made harder by the recent rain. Later on Chief Inspector (警官) Roger Fleet said, “The travelers had a radio with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us.”

The three travelers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car. They took a small dirt road that runs down to the Daintree River, a dangerous river full of crocodiles (鳄鱼). Chief Inspector Roger Fleet said the tourists wouldn’t have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road.

A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policeman under the “Be Careful about crocodiles” sign near the river. Why was the photo left behind? This is just one of the unanswered questions. Other questions are: Why was the Toyota parked and locked at the edge of the rainforest? The police said that the travelers had left a map of the area behind. Why? Why had someone drawn a cross on the place where the car is? Is this a sign? What does it mean? If anyone can give information or has seen these three young people, contact the local police in Cooktown.

1．This article is probably taken from ________

A．a newspaper B．a magazine C．a storybook D．a guidebook

19、We'd better develop our interest in English at the beginning of our study. To develop interest in English study is not very hard. We may have the feeling of satisfaction and achievement from our English study when we are able to say something simple in English, Plans are always very essential, so we must make some workable plans before study. And we should certainly carry out these plans to the letter. Notes should be made whenever we study any book. We may follow this advice: Don't read book without making notes. Our notes are much thinner than the books so that we can learn them by heart easier and can often review and read them. We may also record our notes on tapes so as to often listen to them easier, to deepen our impression and to lighten our burden of memory. Sometimes it is needful to draw some tables and illustrations that are very impressive, visual and concise.
