   Happiness, rather than working hard, is the key to success, according to research published yesterday. Cheerfu1 peop1e are more 1ikely to try new things and challenge（wk戰(zhàn)） themselves， which strengthens their good emotion and leads to success in work，good relationships and strong health，say psychologists（心理學(xué)家）.

   The findings suggest that happiness is not a “ feel-good” luxury（奢侈品），but is necessary for people’s well-being. What is more, happiness can also reach an entire nation，with people in” happy” nations being more likely to help others.

   The link between happiness and success was studied by a team from the University of California Riverside，led by Professor Sonja Lyubomirsky.

   First, they examined questionnaires that ask peop1e about their 1ives. “ For example, they show that happy people are likely to earn higher incomes” said Lyubomirsky. Having established the link，they wanted to discover the cause.

   “Almost always it has been taken for granted that things that connect closely to happiness are the causes of happiness，but it could be just the opposite that those things are likely to be caused by happiness，” said Professor Ed Diener from the University of Illinois，another author on the paper.

   “ There was strong evidence that happiness leads people to be more sociable，more generous and more productive at work，to make more money，and to have stronger immune（免疫）systems，”said Lyubomirsky.

   The research shows that while success can put a spring in someone’s step，peop1e need happiness in the first place to achieve success.

   According to the study， around 4 out of 5 people in modern industrialized nations arc happy at any one time.

   Success was not just about earning lots of money. “ We describe success as having the things that culture or society values，whether it be friends，close family, money and income，or long life，”said Diener.

    However，sorrowful people arc not predetermined to lead a life of failure.

In this passage，which of the following viewpoints does Professor Lyubomirsky state？

  A. People in less happy countries are more likely to help others.

  B. Things connected to happiness are brought about by happiness.

  C. Happiness results in richer and healthier people.

  D. Success means possessing things that a cu1ture or society thinks highly of.

The underlined phrase “ put a spring in someone’s step” means          .

  A. put you in good spirits            B. put spring water on your feet

  C. have a pleasant walk in spring      D. step into a cheerful spring

According to the passage，which of the following is true？

  A. People arc happy because they earn more money.

  B. People earn more money because they are happy.

  C. Working hard is important for being successful.

  D. We can do whatever we like as 1ong as we feel happy.

We can infer from the passage that          .

  A. fee1ing good is a cause and not an effect of achievement

  B. our life would be a failure if we were not happy

  C. happiness is just a personal problem

  D. being successful mainly means being wealthy

You've heard of the fat suit and the pregnancy suit；now meet AGNES—the old person suit．
AGNES stands for “Age Gain Now Empathy(換位體驗(yàn)) System” and was designed by researchers at MIT's AgeLab to let you know what it feels like—physically—to be 75 years old．“The business of old age demands new tools，”said Joseph Coughlin，director of the AgeLab．“While focus groups and observations and surveys can help you understand what the older consumer needs and wants，young marketers never get that‘Ah ha!’moment of having difficulty opening a jar, or getting in and out of a car．That’s what AGNES provides．”
Coughlin and his team carefully adjusted the suit to make the wearer just as uncomfortable as an old person who has spent a lifetime eating poorly and not doing much exercise．Special shoes provide a feeling of imbalance，while braces on the knees and elbows limit joint mobility．Gloves give the feeling of decreased strength and mobility in the hands and wrists，and earplugs make it difficult to hear high—pitched sounds and soft tones．A helmet with straps(帶)attached to it presses the spine(脊柱)，and more straps attached to the shoes decrease hamstring flexibility, and shortens the wearer's step．
AGNES has been used most recently by a group of students working on a design of an updated walker．By wearing the suit they could see for themselves what design and materials would make the most sense for a physically limited older person．Coughlin said the suit has also been used by clothing companies，car companies and retail goods companies to help them understand the limitations of an older consumer．
“AGNES is not the destiny of everybody,” he said．“She is a badly behaved lady who didn't eat and exercise very well．A secondary benefit we’ve found with AGNES is that it has become a powerful tool to get younger people to invest in their long-term health．”
【小題1】AGNES has been developed to       ．

A．make the users more comfortable
B．1et us understand old people better
C．help old people move more quickly
D．produce new tools for the old-age business
【小題2】“An updated walker”(underlined)most likely refers to    ．
A．someone who travels a lot
B．a(chǎn) physically limited old person
C．some equipment that helps old people walk
D．a(chǎn) company whose service involves old people
【小題3】Which may be a fact resulting from the “secondary benefit” of AGNES?
A．Young people respect old people．
B．Old-age business improves their service
C．Old people eat and exercise well．
D．Young people eat and exercise well．

A proven method for effective textbook reading is the SQ3R method developed by Francis Robinson. The first is to survey (the S step) the chapter by reading the title, introduction, section headings, summary., and by studying any graphs, tables, illustrations or charts. The purpose of this step is to get an overview of the chapter so that you will know before you read what it will be about.  In the second step (the Q step), for each section you ask yourself questions such as "What do I already know about this topic?" and "What do I want to know?" In this step you also take the section heading and turn it into a question. This step gives you a purpose for reading the section. The third step (the first of the 3 R's) is to read to find the answers to your questions. Then at the end of each section, before going on to the next section, you recite ( the second of the 3 R's) the answers to the questions that formed in the question step. When you recite you should say the information you want to learn out loud in your own words. The fifth step is done after you have completed step 2, 3 and 4 for each section. You review (the last of the 3 R's) the entire chapter. The review is done much as the survey was in the first step. As you review, hold a mental conversation with yourself as you recite the information you selected as important to learn. The mental conversation could take the form of asking and answering the questions formed the headings or reading the summary, which lists the main ideas in the chapter, and trying to fill in the details for each main idea.
【小題1】 The passage implies that the SQ3R method          .

A．needs to be proveB．leaves much to be desired
C．turns out to be practicableD．cannot be used by every reader
【小題2】The SQ3R method consists of steps          .
A．threeB．fourC．fiveD．seven
【小題3】 According to the passage, the first step helps the readers          .
A．read the first several paragraphsB．scan the whole chapter
C．study the graphsD．get the theme of chapter
【小題4】 Which of the following statements is true?
