Everyone needs friends. Friends bring us happiness and hope in our lives. But the ability (能力)to make friends changes from person to person. To some people, making friends is easy, and to others it’s very difficult.

Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfasts.
The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, egg, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully.
The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight(增加體重) instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
【小題1】During the test, the people were given ________.

A．no breakfast at all
B．different foods or nothing
C．very rich breakfast
D．little food for breakfast
【小題2】The results show that ___________.
A．breakfast has great effect (影響) on work and studies
B．breakfast has little to do with a person’s work
C．a(chǎn) person will work better if he only has fruit and milk
D．girl students should have little for breakfast
【小題3】According to the passage, some people think that if you don’t have breakfast you will _____________.
A．be healthierB．work betterC．lose weightD．lose your way

A．增加B．減少C．放棄D．享用

A．It is bad for your health to have no breakfast.
B．Too little for breakfast and too much for lunch may make you fatter.
C．If you don’t eat much for lunch and supper, you may lose weight.

Have you ever noticed that your fingertips are winked when you’ve just finished swimming or washing dishes? It seems as if your hands have aged 30 years in a second. But is this an accident? Or is it something that nature has built into our bodies?
If your finger’s wrinkling up had no use at all, “ it wouldn’t need to.” Professor Tom Smulders from Newcastle University, UK, told BBC News. By studying wet fingers closely, Smulders and his partners found that the wrinkles looked a bit like the patterns on the car tire or on the bottom of the running shoes. So they made a guess that wrinkles on fingers might be able to help the hand hold things more tightly.
To test this, researchers asked 20 people to pick up marbles from water with their hands. But before they started, some of the people had to keep their hands in water for half an hour.
The researchers found that the people with wrinkled fingers completed the task the task faster than those with dry hands. But when they were asked to move dry marbles, all the people performed equally well, no matter they had the wrinkled fingers or not.
Our ancestors might not have played with marbles, but wrinkled fingers could have made it easier for them to climb around in the wet forests and catch fish from rivers, researchers say.
Similarly, our toes also get wrinkled in water. This may have developed from our ancestor’s need to run on wet ground.
But the question is, if wrinkled fingers are so helpful, why don’t our hands just stay that way all the time? Researchers explained that wrinkling has its disadvantage: wet fingertips are far less sensitive than smooth ones, reducing our sense of touch.
【小題1】What does the underlined world “this ” in the third paragraph refer to?

A．Whether fingers have wrinkles after they are put in water.
B．Whether wrinkled fingers can hold things more tightly.
C．Why keeping things in water makes them wrinkled.
D．Why wrinkles help hands hold things more tightly.
【小題2】The test shows that ________.
A．winkled hands hold dry things more tightly than dry hands do.
B．dry hands hold dry things more tightly than wrinkled hands do.
C．winkled hands hold wet things more tightly than dry hands do.
D．dry hands hold wet things more tightly than wrinkled hands do.
【小題3】What might be the disadvantage of wrinkled fingers?
A．They are too sensitive to be touched.
B．They might be more likely to get hurt.
C．They cannot hold things tightly enough.
D．They are not so sensitive as dry fingers.

Over the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are decided to a certain degree by genes. However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.
Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference. Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. But the link between money and happiness is complex. In the past half-century, the average income has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues.
“Dollars buy status (social position), and status makes people feel better,” say some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways, scientists or actors, for example, may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.
In his research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires, not just for money, but for friends, family, job, health, rose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap. Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone. “The gap measures just blow away the measures of only income.”says Michalos.
Another factor that has to do with happiness is age. Old age may not be so bad “Given all the problems of aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied?” asks Professor Laura Carstensen. In one survey, Carstensen interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotion questionnaire. She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people. Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or they’re more realistic about their time running out. Older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don’t.
“People realize not only what they have, but also that what they have cannot last forever,” she says. “A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85, for example, may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20.”
【小題1】Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs__________.

A．make them feel much better
B．provide chances to make friends
C．improve their social position
D．satisfy their professional interests
【小題2】Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less happy if _________.
A．the gap between reality and desire is bigger
B．they have a stronger desire for friendship
C．the hope for good health is much greater
D．their income is far below their expectation
【小題3】We can infer from the passage that older people _________.
A．would like to have more goodbye kisses than young people
B．a(chǎn)re used to living a hard life because they are kind to others
C．express their positive opinions just as some young people do
D．find it easier to feel happy because they are more realistic
【小題4】According to the passage, the feeling of happiness _________.
A．increases gradually with age
B．is controlled partly by desires
C．has little to do with wealth
D．is decided mostly by genes

Years ago I worked at a factory in a small county. Every day I got up very early and often did much extra work at night. I was so tired and exhausted. My whole life was hopeless. Then one day I read the following article from a magazine:
"A woman went to live with her husband in camp on the Mojave Desert during the war. She simply hated the place: the heat was almost un-bearable, 125 degrees in the shade, the wind blew incessantly, and there was sand everywhere. Finally, in desperation (不顧一切地) she wrote her parents in Ohio that she couldn't stand it another minute and was coming home.
Quickly came the reply by airmail from her father——just two lines:
"Two men looked out from prison bars. One saw the mud, the other saw stars."
The daughter did some real thinking, not only with the intellect (思維) but also with her heart. She decided to stick to her post.
She made friends with the natives, learned to love the country, and eventually wrote a book about it.
The desert hadn't changed, but her attitude had. Because she listened with her heart  to the words her father sent, a whole new world opened up to her.
A change of attitude could change everything.
