But psychologists who study happiness often repor
15、t a different picture. Being the mom of a young child (especially one under 3) is rewarding, but also a real strain on your mood. “Moment to moment, you may be tired and sometimes angry, though kids do bring joy“ says Peter Ubel, M.D., a professor of medicine and psychology at the University of Mich
16、igan. In fact, on their list of enjoyable activities, moms rank childcare lower than eating, exercising, or watching TV, according to a University of Michigan study, and kid care rates only slightly higher than housework, working, or commuting! One reason for the difference between moms and experts:
17、 selective memory. When psychologists ask moms in a general way if they like spending time with their kids, the overwhelming majority say they do because theyre thinking of fun activities like reading a book or playing in the park. When theyre specifically asked to describe their actual daily routin
18、e, they remember the hours they spent struggling to get their child dressed or ready for bed. Maybe, though, the psychologists are missing the intensity of joy that time spent with your child can bring. Luckily, those moments can overcome your daily frustrations. “Happiness is more than just that sm
19、iley feeling,“ says Karen Reivich, Ph.D., a research associate in the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania. “Its also feeling a connection to something larger than yourself. When people are in service to something bigger, they describe their lives as filled with meaning.“ （分数

But caring for your mouth can prevent serious (and even embarrassing) problems. Cavities happen to just about eve
26、ryone. A cavity is a diseased spot in the tooth. It all starts with a sticky film made up of bacteria. That film coats your teeth and gums. The bacteria eat sugars from things you eat and drink. That produces acids. Then, the acids eat away at your teeths hard outer coating, called enamel. If you do
27、nt brush regularly to remove the film, or if you keep missing a spot, those acids keep eating away the teeths enamel. That is how you get a cavity. “The larger it gets, the closer it gets to the nerve, increasing the chance of severe pain,“ says Lynn Ramer, president of the American Dentists Associa
28、tion. A cavity will never just go away by itself. It will only get worse. “Left untreated, 100 percent of the time a cavity will spread,“ says Dr. William Berlocher, a dentist who is also president of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. If a cavity is caught early enough, your dentist will
29、be able to fix your tooth. The area of the tooth where the cavity was will be replaced with a special material called a filling. Some fillings are made of a metal blend containing silver. Other fillings are a tooth-colored mix of glass and a strong material called resin. If you ignore a cavity, it w
30、ill spread. It can go into the tooths root. At that point, the dentist will have to do a root canal. In that procedure, the dentist removes the tooths nerve. （分数：10.00）(1).According to the second paragraph, what is a cavity? （分数：2.00）A.a diseased spot in the toothB.a film of acids coating the teethC

34、r ways of brushing teethD.describe how a dentist treats a cavityPassage Three Small talk is like having loose change in your pocket. Like quarters for a pay phone, loose change comes in handy when you least expect it. But when it comes to small talk, you must know when to spend it or save it. All sm
35、all talk is not the same. With some people, you walk away having killed a few moments. With others, you feel a connection and want to get to know them better. The difference is the effort one or both of you made at making a connection. It helps to call the person by name, mention things you have in
36、common (mutual acquaintances, places youve been, experiences youve shared, career or personal goals), show interest in that persons views or hobbies, and match the other persons speaking style, voice, emotion and body language as you talk. People feel being related to others who like them, appreciat
37、e them, enjoy the same things they do and are helpful to them. Time and attention make connections that last. When youre considering small talk, be sensitive to the other persons mood and circumstances. When your airplane seatmate is obviously preoccupied, leave him or her alone. Neither would you a
38、pproach someone when the person is dashing down a hallway to a meeting. On other occasions, small talk is inappropriate because of the person involved. If the CEO has unexpectedly called you in for “a little chat,“ this is not the time to take the lead. Let him or her dictate the topic and pace. The
39、 same is true with customers. Develop a sixth sense about those who appreciate small talk and those who dont. （分数：10.00）(1).What is the meaning of the underlined phrase comes in handy in the first paragraph? （分数：2.00）A.becomes very usefulB.becomes very specialC.becomes very importantD.becomes very i

43、difficulties in your workC.take the lead to make small talkD.decide on the topic of talkPassage Four A biological clock is what tells plants, animals, and other organisms how to organize their time. This clock helps plants and animals change their routine when they move to places with different clim
44、ates and environments. Most biological clocks are based on the movement of the sun and follow a twenty-four hour cycle called a circadian rhythm. Some animals sleep only at night, making them diurnal. Animals that sleep during daytime are nocturnal. Flowers are diurnal because they close their petal
45、s at night but they open again in the morning. Bats sleep in the daytime so they are nocturnal. Some biological clocks also follow an annual cycle, especially in animals that have annual migrations. Animals that have annual cycles do different things at different times of year. Their actions are det
46、ermined by the seasons. Different animals can live in the same area when their biological clocks make them look for food at different times of day. This process also keeps them out of each others way. Biological clocks help plants and animals prepare for changes in the seasons. Animals need to know
47、what time of year to reproduce so their offspring will be born when the conditions for survival are good. Human beings sleep cycle is a circadian rhythm, a system based on the twenty-four hour day. In the circadian rhythm most humans sleep at night. When people travel to different time zones their b
48、iological clocks have to adjust. In humans, the biological clock is in a group of cells called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN.) The SCN is located near the bottom middle part of the brain. Scientists are continuing to research the biological clock and circadian rhythms. Scientists discovered the f
49、irst circadian gene in a mammal (a mouse) in 1997.
