3、ppiness: short-term happiness(a great cookie, a bottle of wine)and long-term happiness(financial security, achieving your goals). Both types of happiness are valid, and important. The problem is, theyre often in competition.Lets say youve got a goal of losing 50 pounds this year. You know youd be ha

4、ppier and healthier if you werent carrying that extra weight. To achieve long-term happiness, you need to go on a diet. In the short-term, though, its not that easy. A chocolate cake, or a large glass of wine, might seem like just the thing to cheer you up at the end of a long dayor to celebrate wit

5、h friends. Its the same with lots of other goal.If youve got a tendency to prioritize long-term happiness at the expense of day-to-day pleasures, you should start looking for some small ways to bring a little joy back into your life.

6、at you stuff yourself with cake. There are plenty of other ways to enjoy yourself. Dont pin all your hopes of happiness on some far-off future, though.

However, there remai

11、ns a major problem. The people in need of transplant surgery far outnumber the available organs.Many countries, such as Britain, have huge waiting lists of people whose lives could be saved by being given a kidney, lung, heart, or liver transplant. Sadly, many of them die before they reach the top o

12、f those lists.Under the present British policy, people are asked to carry donor(捐赠人)cards, and/or put their names on the national donor register. Thus, if they lose their lives suddenly, for example, in a traffic accident, they have given permission in advance of their deaths for their organs to be

13、used. If they have not done so, surgeons are faced with the task of asking the grieved relatives for permission to use the organs of the dead. Of course, often the relatives are too upset even to think of such a thing until it is too late. Organ transplants have to take place quite soon after the de

14、ath of the donor.Dying and donating organs is not something most of us like to think about, and only about 14% of people have registered. Now it has been suggested that, instead of the present register, there should be a register of potential donors who havent made up their minds.6 Nowadays a major

18、o donate their organs（D）permission from relatives is hard to obtain10 What has been proposed to get more donor organs?（A）Asking more people to register to donate organs after death.（B） Having more people carry donor cards when they get around.（C） Encouraging more people to consider organ donation th

19、rough registering.（D）Getting more people to donate organs by offering huge monetary rewards.10 Recently, the American Heart Association surveyed 1, 000 people nationwide about their thoughts on sodium and heart health. 61% said that they believed sea salt was a low-sodium alternative to table salt.

20、They can be forgiven for thinking so. Sea salt is marketed as a healthy food, added to soups, potato chips and a wide variety of packaged snacks labeled “ low sodium, “ “all natural“ and “healthy. “ But in reality, sea salt and table salt are not terribly different, at least chemically. The real dif

21、ferences are in how the two are used in cooking.Table salt comes from underground salt deposits. Companies that sell it typically add something to keep it from clumping(结块). During processing, table salt is stripped of many of its natural minerals. Sea salt, on the other hand, is made from evaporate

22、d seawater. With little processing, it retains most of its minerals, which some cooks say give it a better flavor.But both contain the same amount of sodium chloride(氯化的)by weight, which means they contribute equally to total sodium consumption and have the same effect on blood pressure. Officials r

23、ecommend that adults consume no more than 2, 300 milligrams of sodium a day, equivalent to a teaspoon of salt. You should eat less if you are black, hypertensive(患高血压的)or older than 40. Yet most Americans consume more than double the amount they need, mostly from processed foods, so it is best to li

24、mit saltof any kind. 11 According to the survey, more than half the people believe that_.（A）table salt should be used in cooking（B） it is necessary to eat sea salt（C） sea salt is a high-sodium product（D）sea salt is a healthier choice than table salt12 The difference between table salt and sea salt l

25、ies in that table salt_.（A）contains less natural minerals than sea salt（B） forms clumps more easily than sea salt（C） tastes better than sea salt（D）goes through less processing than sea salt13 The word “strip“ in Para. 2 is closest in meaning to “ _. “（A）break（B） add（C） remove（D）change14 According to
