Some couples spend every waking minute together. Others fill their hours with personal hobbies,outside interests and even part-time jobs, just to keep their distance from each other! "There should beprivate time and couple time," suggests Dr. Stephen Treat at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia."You don't want your latter years to turn into a process where two people unite as one. If you hold tootightly to your partner, it's going to cause resentment and anger. If you're completely separate, you'llboth be lonely and disconnected. You need balance. So you have to talk about how vou'll achieve that."
The right baiance? It's different for every couple. "Having a conversation about time can be difficult,but it's important for both partners to process those feelings out loud," Dr. Treat says. "You should notbe accusing and act as a judge - ask the difficult questions, but do it in a loving way. You could saysomething like, 'How are we going to be as individuals and how are we going to be as a couple?' "
Barbara and Chris Christensen have achieved the balance that works for them. In addition to daily
routines that keep them close - including about 10 minutes for a daily check-in and about a half hourof relaxation time - they each maintain separate interests and friendships.

many aviation-oriented(航空的) groups and friends and also a penny-ante poker-playing  (玩撲克)
group of our friends. I may be with him during the poker night, but I don't play, and the wives usually
watch a cchick flick' DVD or something while the poker group has an evening of fun. We have found itimportant to have separate time as well as together time."

I hear many parents saying that their teenagers are rebellious(反叛的). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out bravely on their own, most of them are trying to seize at another’s hands for safety.
They say they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such way is that the cords is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon—into a larger cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly opened up a teenager market. These days every teenager can learn from newspapers and TV what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to great difficulty for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the difficulty is worth getting over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.
73. The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is mainly to tell _____________ .
readers how to be popular in the world
teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves
parents how to control and guide their children
people how to understand and respect each other
74. According to the writer, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but in fact, most of them ______________.
have much difficulty in understanding each other
have too much confidence in themselves
dare not do things in their own way
are very much afraid of getting lost
75. During the teenager years, one should learn to __________ .
become different from others in as many ways as possible
find one’s real self
get into the right reason and become popular
rebel against parents

Five Happiness Secrets For Tough Times
Sonja Lyubomirsky, an author, has researched the science of happiness for years.
Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts
of happiness throughout the day.
61. ________
“You could spend a lot of time thinking deeply,” says Lyubomirsky. “But that
just makes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and effects your self
esteem. Your relationships will suffer and your job performance will suffer.”
Get rid of pessimism. One of the most effective ways to cope when things are
difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy. “What can I learn from this? Times
are tough, I’ve been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids,
adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills.”
62. ________
Now more than ever we need each other to survive. Lyubomirsky found that doing
good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier. Think of practical,
everyday gestures that can make someone’s life a little bit easier. For example,
Lyubomirsky says, “Maybe now many of us can’t afford to take a cab to the airport, so
offer to give a friend a ride.”
63. ________
You don’t need an expert to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness.
Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid’s needs can
weighh down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus
on caring for your loved ones.
“I was at a psychology conference where an expert was talking about the effects
of this economy on families and how parents can’t afford to buy their kids luxuries
like toys anymore,” says Lyubomirsky. “But what they don’t realize is that kids don’t
care about toys — what they care about is parents being grumpy and taking it out on
them.”
64. ________
“If you find a happy person you will find a project,” says Lyubomirsky. “Happy
people all have goals they care about.”
Commit yourself to a project – whether it is a business you want to start or a dance
you want to learn. But it’s also important to remember to be flexible in these times.
Don’t get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting your goals. Adopt
and change!
“If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,” says
Lyubomirsky. “Or you might have to learn a whole new skill for a new job.”
65. ________
When times are tough, it’s easy to get skip your regular workouts in favor of moping
in front of the TV and eating a bag of chips. Your thinking is “I have more important
things to worry about right now than looking good.”
But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC. It will go a
long way in boosting your happiness. “Even if you can’t afford to go to the gym,”
Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home.”
You don't need an expert to tell your that relationships are critical to happiness. Not
being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid's needs can weigh
down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on
bringing up your loved ones.

Kiribati covers a massive 3.5 million square kilometers stretch of the Pacific Ocean, but in population terms it is one of the smallest countries in the world, with only 100,000 people. More than half of them live in the capital Tarawa—strip of coral which measures just 450 meters at its widest point. As well as being narrow, Kiribati is extremely low lying, which makes it one of the most easily influenced countries in the world when it comes to climate change.
“We are counting the days rather than the decades…We don't have the time that we thought we had previously,” Kiribati President Anote Tong said.
Pelenise Alofa returned to Kiribati six years ago. The changes she saw led to her becoming one of the islands principal climate change campaigners. "Things began to change when I came here. I realized the king tides were big, and I told them 'have you heard of climate change, have you heard of global wanning, this is part of it, you're in it,'" Ms Alofa told SBS.
Linda Uan and her New Zealand born husband John have been documenting the changing climate in Kiribati for nearly 20 years. They didn't have to travel far to film the effects of a storm three years ago when for the first time it washed through their home. "There's been a lot of changes," Linda said, “When we were little there was a definite dry season and a definite wet season, now you can't feel the difference anymore.”
Kiribati is not just facing one knock-out punch but a whole round of killer blows. Because of its sensibility to the El Nino and La Nina weather patterns, climate scientists say droughts and floods will be more severe than in the past. Warmer seas could affect the migration patterns of fish, taking away vast taxes it gains from selling fishing licenses to foreign trawlers, while increased storms are expected to destroy crops and make the limited supply of water in the shallow water pools undrinkable.
It’s a claim the country will take to Copenhagen as it seeks to get the world's big emitters （排放者） to face up to the consequences of their actions. “It's a whole world issue,” President Tong said. “It’s a moral issue…it's almost criminal.”
57．According to the passage, we can infer that________.
A．Kiribati covers a land area of 3,500,000 km2
B．the country's average altitude is 450 meters in Kiribati
C．Kiribati is one of the countries facing the climate change calmly
D．Over fifty thousand people live in Tarawa
58．President Anote’s words are quoted in order to show________ .
A．the high pressure from time        B．the importance of measuring time
C．the different timing units         D．the personal attitude towards time
59．Which of the following statements does Ms Alofa probably agree with?
A．The tides hitting Kiribati used to be bigger than they are now.
B．Most people in the world have never heard of global warming.
C．Nobody can keep away from the effects caused by climate changes.
D．Changes in this country will make you a climate change campaigner.
60．Climate changes have brought about the consequences EXCEPT________ .
A．Severe droughts and floods        B．a(chǎn)bundant fresh water
C．fiercer storm and tide            D．changed living patterns of fish
