(2016·太原市模擬)Happiness increases when we experience more positive emotions throughout the day. Fredrickson, a leader in the field of psychology, identifies 10 positive emotions, including joy, interest, hope, pride, amusement, inspiration, love and so on. How often we experience these positive emotions compared to negative emotions in a day affects not only our mood, but also our physical health. She has discovered that those who have a 3∶1 ratio of positive to negative emotions on a daily basis are happier and healthier.
Sadly, most people, even those who consider themselves positive people, are far below that ratio. The good news is that you can learn to increase your ratio of being positive, which leads to greater happiness, health and success.
Research shows that by increasing positive emotions, we become more creative, perform better at tasks, and have better relationships. The most exciting finding is that we now have proof that selfgenerated positive emotions can improve our physical health.
Nevertheless, we don't want to get rid of all negative feelings. Negative emotions are proper and helpful sometimes. It's appropriate to feel sad about the loss of a loved one. Anger often pushes us into action to improve a situation or correct a mistake. However, if you find yourself waiting impatiently when the driver in front of you doesn't instantly notice the light turns green, or if you find yourself scolding your kids for laughing too loud while you are on the phone, you are having negative feelings in your daily life too often. Then you should step back and analyze those feelings, and turn them around.
1.What is the most exciting finding about increasing positive emotions?
A.It improves relationships.
B.It contributes to good health.
C.It helps develop creativity.
D.It leads to greater success.
2.What does the author say about negative feelings?
A.People should turn every negative feeling around.
B.Negative feelings can sometimes have positive effects.
C.Negative feelings often cause people to make mistakes.
D.People should never show negative feelings in public places.
3.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.People should learn to manage their emotions.
B.People should be patient with their negative feelings.
C.People should learn to analyze the causes of unhappiness.
D.People should identify as many positive feelings as possible.

(2016·湖南省東部六校聯(lián)考)I was born and raised in England in a culture where privacy and “keeping yourself to yourself” were valued traditions. Speaking to strangers was not encouraged. People were most hospitable (好客的) and friendly — but only once they had been introduced to new people.
However, I have been lucky enough to spend some time in both Italy and the US, where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different.
I experienced Italian hospitality firsthand on a crowded railway carriage travelling, one afternoon, from Genoa to Florence. Sinking gratefully into an empty seat, I was berated (訓(xùn)斥) in rapid Italian by a gentleman who was returning to this seat — it had not been “spare” after all. I apologized in English, and got up to allow him back into the seat. The gentleman obviously had no understanding of the English language, but he, too, realized my genuine mistake. He smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat, and he himself remained standing in the corridor for the remainder of the journey. The other occupants of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome amongst them. I feel that if this had been in England, a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated.
Transport also featured in the differences I noticed between English and American culture. I flew to New York on a plane with mainly English passengers. We sat together in near silence. Nobody spoke to me nor, as I expected, to anyone else they did not know. They felt it was not polite to intrude on someone else's privacy. However, when I travelled across the United States, whether by plane or Greyhound bus, I was never short of conversation. Conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself. They obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person, whether they were strangers or not.
4.What do we know about the occupants of the carriage when the author was travelling in Italy?
A.They all laughed at the author for his mistake.
B.They were all on the side of the gentleman.
C.They would not bear a mistake like the author's in public.
D.They all showed their understanding of the author's mistake.
5.The author finally believes the Italian people are ________.
A.cold B.rude
C.hospitable D.helpful
6.According to the last paragraph, English passengers sat in near silence because ________.
A.they were all strangers to each other
B.they were too tired to speak
C.privacy was a valued tradition in England
D.everybody had their own share of privacy
7.The purpose of the author is to tell us ________.
A.his travelling experience
B.cultural differences to show hospitality and politeness
C.the culture shock he experienced in Italy and the US
D.how to adapt ourselves to a new culture (2017·湖北七市州教科研協(xié)作體高三聯(lián)合考試)BRAD GARRETT'S COMEDY CLUB

(2016·江西省百校聯(lián)盟聯(lián)考)Earlier this week, I wrapped up (圓滿完成) a 5day trip in San Francisco. I woke up a few hours before sunrise, drove through the darkness and out of the city, hiked for 30 minutes to the top of a hill overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, and snapped (拍攝) this photo. As I stood there soaking in the early morning light, I was reminded of an important lesson.
When I arrived in San Francisco, I told myself, “Just take photos as you do other things.” My primary goal was to meet with friends and so I figured I could take pictures as we walked around the city. This resulted in exactly zero photos worth sharing. I had vague ideas like, “I'd like to do some street photography，” but I never went out with the intent of photographing something specific. Finally, on the last morning, I went out with the intent of capturing a specific picture and I ended up with something worth sharing. My mistake was that I assumed that because I wanted to take photos, I would end up getting a desirable result.
How often do you do this in your own life? We go to the gym to “work out” without trying to become better at something specific. We wish that we were more creative, but never work on a particular project. When you commit to a task, however, then the next step is obvious. You want to take a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge at sunrise? Next step: find a good spot. You've found a good spot? Next step: wake up early and drive there.
This is perhaps the most shocking thing: if box yourself in, then you'll begin to break out and achieve something greater than you ever imagined.
12.What's the author's original purpose of the trip?
A.To take pictures. B.To attend lessons.
C.To visit friends. D.To enjoy sunrise.
13.What lesson did the author learn?
A.A given task leads to achievement.
B.Stick to your own decision.
C.Get ready for challenges.
D.Hard work pays off.
14.What are you advised to do first when you want to get stronger physically?
A.Make a detailed outline.
B.Go to work out immediately.
C.Discuss the ways with coaches.
D.Choose a certain muscle group.
15.What's the function of the last paragraph?
A.To introduce a new topic.
B.To draw a conclusion.
C.To make a suggestion.
D.To ask readers to reflect on something.

(2016·江西省百校聯(lián)盟聯(lián)考)Earlier this week, I wrapped up (圓滿完成) a 5day trip in San Francisco. I woke up a few hours before sunrise, drove through the darkness and out of the city, hiked for 30 minutes to the top of a hill overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, and snapped (拍攝) this photo. As I stood there soaking in the early morning light, I was reminded of an important lesson.
When I arrived in San Francisco, I told myself, “Just take photos as you do other things.” My primary goal was to meet with friends and so I figured I could take pictures as we walked around the city. This resulted in exactly zero photos worth sharing. I had vague ideas like, “I'd like to do some street photography，” but I never went out with the intent of photographing something specific. Finally, on the last morning, I went out with the intent of capturing a specific picture and I ended up with something worth sharing. My mistake was that I assumed that because I wanted to take photos, I would end up getting a desirable result.
How often do you do this in your own life? We go to the gym to “work out” without trying to become better at something specific. We wish that we were more creative, but never work on a particular project. When you commit to a task, however, then the next step is obvious. You want to take a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge at sunrise? Next step: find a good spot. You've found a good spot? Next step: wake up early and drive there.
This is perhaps the most shocking thing: if box yourself in, then you'll begin to break out and achieve something greater than you ever imagined.
12.What's the author's original purpose of the trip?
A.To take pictures. B.To attend lessons.
C.To visit friends. D.To enjoy sunrise.
13.What lesson did the author learn?
A.A given task leads to achievement.
B.Stick to your own decision.
C.Get ready for challenges.
D.Hard work pays off.
14.What are you advised to do first when you want to get stronger physically?
A.Make a detailed outline.
B.Go to work out immediately.
C.Discuss the ways with coaches.
D.Choose a certain muscle group.
15.What's the function of the last paragraph?
A.To introduce a new topic.
B.To draw a conclusion.
C.To make a suggestion.
D.To ask readers to reflect on something.
