2、on, while driving through a quiet suburban (郊外的) neighborhood I was so sad that I kept asking myself “Why has my life become so hard?” “Whats wrong with the world?” Then I pulled over the bus to drop off (让.下车) a little girl and as she passed she handed me a pretty earring, saying she found it on th
3、e floor of the bus and I should keep it in case（以防）the owner came to look for it. In the evening, the owner did come to look for her earring. When I handed it to her, she got very excited and continued saying “Thanks, youre a real gentleman.” I told her that she should thank the little girl who had
4、found it. She said, “Yes, and you are a good driver, too. What a lovely world it is!” Then she left with satisfaction. I was touched by her last words. I had thought something was wrong with the world just because of my poor condition. In fact, nothing was wrong with the world. I should change my at
5、titude towards life. I should be positive about life. At first it was hard, and then it got easier. Every day I could find things to make me happy. Then one night there was a phone call for me at my friends house from a lady who was a manager in a large hospital. She said she had read my application
6、 form and asked me if I would like to work in the hospital. I said yes and got the job. Looking back at the experience I know the most important is to have a positive attitude towards life. 21.

B The influence of America is increasing in my country. Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music,
10、and eat fast food, and they do these things every day. I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries (纪录片) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go
11、 to see are made in Hollywood. In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe. American culture is a part of Spanish life now. Its certain t
12、hat many things from America are as much a part of peoples lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. Ive known 3 about Coca Cola for my whole life. However, its different with Western fast food. For example, I dont think McDonalds is
13、as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home. On the other hand, maybe McDonalds hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. Its true that in every city in Sp
14、ain you can find a McDonalds, and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, its obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day. 25. From the first paragraph we can know that _. A. the influence of America on Spain can be
15、found everywhere B. most Spanish people dont like to listen to their own music C. fast food spreads from Spain to the United States D. some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills 26.

17、u think Spanish tapas (in the last paragraph)might be? A. The name of a drink. B. The name of a restaurant. C. A clothing brand. D. A certain kind of food. C A newly-published study has shown that loneliness can spread from one person to another, like a disease. Researchers used information from the
18、 Framingham Study, which began in 1948. The Framingham Study gathers information about physical and mental health, personal behavior and diet. At first, the study involved about 5,000 people in the American state of Massachusetts. Now, more than 12,000 individuals 4 are taking part. Information from
19、 the Framingham Study showed earlier that happiness can spread from person to person. So can behaviors like littering and the ability to stop smoking. University of Chicago psychologist John Cacioppo led the recent study. He and other researchers attempted to show how often people felt lonely. They
20、found that the feeling of loneliness spread through social groups. Having a social connection with a lonely person increased the chances that another individual would feel lonely. In fact, a friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. A friend of that person was
21、25% more likely. The researchers say this shows that a person could indirectly be affected by someones loneliness. The effect was strongest among friends. Neighbors were the second most affected group. The effect was weaker on husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters. The researchers also found
22、that loneliness spread more easily among women than men. The New York Times newspaper reports that, on average, people experience feelings of loneliness about 48 days a year. It also found that every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five percent, or two and a half fewer lonely days
23、. Loneliness has been linked to health problems like depression and sleeping difficulties. The researchers believe that knowing the causes of loneliness could help in reducing it. The study suggests that people can take steps to stop the spread of loneliness. They can do this by helping individuals
24、they know who may be experiencing loneliness. The result can be helpful to the whole social group. 29. What is TRUE about the Framingham Study? A. It was only conducted in 1948. B.

25、 30. Which statement about the spread of loneliness is true? 5 A. The spreading effect was the second strongest among friends. B. No spreading effect was found on husbands and wives. C.
