Mr Chishol
18、m was talking about the process of selecting school captains. We were going to start with the nominations (提名); those nominated would speak at the next school gathering; then the whole school, around 300 youngsters, would vote for their choice of captains.Firstly, Mr Chisholm called for the girl nom
19、inations. Names started going up on the blackboard. I had spent seven years with most of the young people in this class. Friends nominated friends. Mr Chisholm would call for a seconder and up would go an eager little hand to say, “Yes, Ill second Jane， ” and “Yes, Ill nominate Lizzy.” But, slowly,
20、my smile began to fade. My heart began to sink. Mr Chisholm was coming to the end of the process, and just about all the girls names in the class were up on the blackboard except mine.I walked home that afternoon on automatic pilot. A sense of betrayal (背叛) a feeling that I had never experienced bef
21、ore overcame me. These were the people Id thought were my friends for the past seven years.The next day, I dragged myself to school and sat in class with fear. Finally, it was time to get on with the selection process and Mr Chisholm handed around a sheet of paper with those nominated for school cap
22、tains. I looked at the sheet, and I looked again. My name was on the list!How had my name got on that list? I immediately wondered if it was due to Mr Chisholm. But that turned out not to be the case.Walking home that afternoon, I was chatting, as I did from time to time, with Margaret though not te
23、rribly enthusiastically. Margaret, whom I had never classified as a friend, looked somewhat untidy, smelt just a little less than fresh and lived in a less than rich part of town. It was only occasionally that I walked part of the way home with Margaret. But it was she who had thought of me and had
24、nominated me for the school captain. The real world and I were just about to start a lifelong relationship.41Who would decide the selection of school captains?AThe school board. BThe students.CMargaret. DMr Chisholm.42The underlined word “seconder” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_”Anext st

27、er be found.BArielle, 8 years old, says shes thankful for her late grandfather, Horace, and how funny he was. “Im missing him， ”she says. Her thirdgrade pal, over for dinner, chimes (插嘴) in, “Im grateful for the juice.” Leela, who works for an educational nonprofit group, and her husband Peter, burs
28、t into smiles. Appreciation for things big and small thats why they do this.Gratitude_works_like_a_muscle. Take time to recognize good fortune, and feelings of appreciation can increase. Parents need to model this behavior to build their childrens gratitude muscle. “Its not what parents want to hear
29、, but you cannot give your kids something that you yourselves do not have， ” Dr. Emmons says.“This may seem obvious, but it escapes many parents， ” Dr. Watkins says. “I think the most important thing for us adults to realize is were not very grateful either， ” he says. The mere act of giving thanks
30、has concrete benefits, research suggests. A 2008 study of 221 kids published in the Journal of School Psychology analyzed sixthand seventhgraders assigned to list five things they were grateful for every day for two weeks. It found they had a better outlook on school and greater life satisfaction th
31、ree weeks later, compared with kids assigned to list five annoyances.Another study examined 1,035 high school students. The study, published in 2010 in the Journal of Happiness Studies, found that those who showed high levels of gratitude, for instance, thankfulness for the beauty of nature and stro
32、ng appreciation of other people, reported having less depression and envy and a more positive outlook.Despite good intentions, some parents are struggling with how to stoke the giving fires in their children. Its an uphill battle. Everyday actions may be even more important than big efforts, researc
33、hers say. “Express gratitude to your kids” Hofstras Dr. Froh says. “Parents say, Why should I thank them for doing something they should do, like cleaning their room? By reinforcing this, kids will internalize the idea, and do it on their own.”Still, Eastern Washingtons Dr. Watkins cautions, “Dont p
34、ush it down their throats.” His family gives thanks at Thanksgiving, but its not a formal process. “Dont make this， Its your turn, so say something whether you feel it or not， ” he says.46The first paragraph serves as a(n) _.Aexplanation Bintroduction Ccomment Dbackground47What does the underlined s
35、entence “Gratitude works like a muscle.” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?AGratitude is a beneficial way to strengthen kids muscle.BParents need to set a good example for their kids.CIt takes time for feelings of appreciation to build up.DSome parents dont have enough gratitude.48What benefit can the ac
36、t of giving thanks bring to children according to the studies?AA more positive attitude towards life.BMore joy from the beauty of nature.CA better relationship with others.DMore success and happiness.49To help children build gratitude, parents should not _.Arealize theyre not very gratefulBexpress t
37、hanks to their family membersCshow appreciation for things big and smallDmake it a rule to say “thank you”50The passage is probably written for _.Aparents Bchildren Cteachers DresearchersCTurning down temperatures at home and office may help you fight obesity, according to a new study published Wedn
38、esday in the U S journal Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism.New evidence suggests that regular exposure to mild cold may be a healthy and sustainable way to help people lose weight, researchers from Maastricht University Medical Center in the Netherlands said. In other words, our warm and cozy hom
39、es and offices might be partly responsible for our expanding waistlines, they added.“Since most of us are exposed to indoor conditions 90 percent of the time, it is worth exploring health aspects of surrounding temperatures ， ” first author Wouter van Marken Lichtenbelt of Maastricht University Medi
40、cal Center said in a statement. “What would it mean if we let our bodies work again to control body temperature? We assume that the hot environment affects human health and more specifically that frequent mild cold exposure can significantly affect our energy consumption over sustained time periods.
41、” Marken Lichtenbelt said they started studying the effects of mild cold about 10 years ago, mostly because it had received so little attention.They found that a more variable indoor temperature, one that is allowed to drift along with temperatures outside, might be beneficial, although longterm eff
42、ects still await further investigation. A previous study from researchers in Japan revealed a decrease in body fat after people spent 2 hours per day at 17 degrees Celsius for six weeks.The new study also found that people get used to the cold over time. After six hours a day in the cold for a perio
43、d of 10 days, people in the study increased heatgenerating, calorieburning brown fat, felt more comfortable and shivered less at 15 degrees Celsius.At least in young and middleaged people, nonshivering heat production can account for a few percent up to 30 percent of the bodys energy budget, they sa
44、id. That means lower temperatures can significantly affect the amount of energy a person consumes overall.So perhaps, in addition to our exercise training, people need to train ourselves to spend more time in the cold, the researchers said.Managing that in practice, however, might take some convinci
45、ng. “Indoor temperature in most buildings is regulated to minimize the percentage of people dissatisfied， ” the researchers wrote.“This results in relatively high indoor temperatures in wintertime. This is evident in offices, in houses and is most noticeable in care centers and hospitals. By lack of
46、 exposure to a varied temperature around, whole populations may be easy to develop diseases like obesity. In addition, people become defenseless to sudden changes in surrounding temperature.”51What should you do if you want to lose weight according to the passage?ATry to make your room and office ve
