A
Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you can find in any neighborhood, these two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their houses.
One evening, Brownie’s family noticed that Brownie hadn’t returned home. They went looking for him with no success. Brownie didn’t show up the next day, and, although they made their efforts to find him, by the next week he was still missing. Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie’s house alone, barking and jumping. Busy with their own lives, they paid no attention to the nervous little neighbor dog.
Finally, one morning Spotty refused to take “no” for an answer. Ted, Brownie’s owner, was continuously disturbed by the angry, determined little dog. Spotty followed Ted about, barking all the time, then rushing toward a nearby empty lot and back, as if to say, “Follow me! It’s urgent!”
Eventually, Ted followed Spotty across the empty lot as Spotty stopped to race back and barked encouragingly. The little dog led the man to a deserted spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive, one of his legs crushed in a steel trap ( 圈套 ). Frightened, Ted now wished he had taken Spotty’s earlier appeals seriously.
Then Ted noticed something. Spotty had done something else besides leading Brownie’s human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the injured dog, Ted found some food remains of every meal. Brownie had been fed that week! Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly, in the hope of keeping his friend alive. Spotty had actually stayed with Brownie to protect him from hunger and other dangers, and keep his spirits up.
Brownie’s leg was carefully treated by a veterinarian (兽医)and he soon recovered. For many years thereafter the two families watched the faithful friends chasing each other down that well-worn path between their houses.
21. At the very beginning, Ted paid little attention to Spotty because __________.
A. he was not free at the moment
B. he was sure Brownie would be OK
C. he didn’t like Spotty at all
D. his missing dog made him sad
22. When Ted was brought to Brownie, he ___________.
A. managed to free his dog at once
B. was worried about Spotty’s health.
C. regretted not following Spotty earlier
D. was angry with the trap-maker
23. Not only did Spotty help Ted find Brownie but also ___________.
A. he went to see his friend and played with him secretly.
B. he sent message to some other persons in his community to save his friend.
C. he managed to lead a veterinarian to treat his friend.
D. he sent food to his friend, accompanied him and inspired him to cheer up.
24. We can infer from the passage that ___________.
A. humans and animals depend on each other for comfort
B. It’s not right to hunt for animals in any neighborhood
C. Ted has to take better care of his beloved dog later on
D. Brownie would have died without Spotty’s timely help
25. What can we learn from the story?
A. Barking dogs seldom bite.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Love me, love my dog.
D. Every dog has its day.
B
Happiness is in your genes, it seems, according to a research that shows the more people in a country who have a particular gene, the happier the nation will be. The FAAH gene, the DNA in question, makes a protein that affects feelings of pleasure and pain. People with a particular version of it tend to be cheerier souls.
The researchers believe that the finding can help explain why some of the worldˈs poorest nations are also the happiest. The team from Bulgaria looked at whether there was a connection between the level of the FAAH gene in a population and the number of people who said they were very happy in the global study of life satisfaction. Sweden, one of the happiest countries in Europe and in the world, has lots of happy DNA. Some 26. 3 percent of Swedes have the happiness gene, compared to 23 percent of the British, 21 percent of the French and 20 percent of Germans. The happiness gene is even rarer in southern Europe, where it is found in 18 percent of Greeks and just 12 percent of Italians. In contrast, the people in Iraq and Jordan are among the least likely to rate themselves as very happy and also have the lowest levels of the gene.
But the gene and optimism don’t always go hand in hand. For instance, Russians score very low on happiness, despite having the right DNA, the Journal of Happiness Studies reports. Climatic differences are also found to be closely associated with national differences in happiness. Study co-author Michael Minkov said, "We can notice the high occurrence of the gene in equatorial(赤道的) and tropical environments in South America and Africa, and the lower occurrence of it around the Mediterranean Sea than in Northern Europe. "
Genetics is not the only determining factor (因素) of happiness," A spokesman for the journalˈs publisher said, "The economic and political difficulties continuously experienced by Eastern European nations contribute to the very low happiness scores of Russians. Nations not blessed with the right DNA aren’t necessarily miserable, happiness can still rise and fall for other reasons. "
26. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph l refers to _______.
A. happiness B. life satisfaction
C. the protein in question D. the FAAH gene
27. Which country has the highest percentage of the happiness genes?
A. Greece. B. Germany. C. Britain. D. Iraq.
28. What can we infer from the text?
A. Climate has much to do with happiness.
B. The poorest countries are actually the happiest.
C. Genetics matters most to determine happiness.
D. Russians are not happy since they lack happy DNA.
29. The best title for the text is______.
A. Researches on Genetic Science
B. Factors to Affect Happiness
C. Reasons for National Differences
D. The Happiest Countries

As globalization continues to make the world a smaller place, and goods become more accessible across borders, concerns about food safety in the Asia-Pacific region have steadily risen over the years. An APEC forum is being held in Beijing, to find ways to better address the problem.
156 participants from 19 APEC economies and 4 non-APEC members attended the APEC Food Safety Cooperation Forum. Created 7 years ago, the forum has been actively looking for ways to strengthen food safety standard in the region, without affecting trade.
“As consumers are faced with more varieties of food, the potential food safety risk also becomes bigger. This forum has helped APEC economies to cooperate in supervision, exchange information, and improve the overall food safety standard in the Asia-Pacific region,” said director of Chinaˈs General Administration of Quality Supervision Wu Qinghai.
For the first time the forum has brought together high-level regulators, academics, and industry stakeholders to talk about their respective roles in safety supervision. They say governments alone cannot shoulder this heavy duty.
In China, the continuous food safety problems have greatly hurt consumersˈ confidence in domestic products; therefore more turned to imports. However, problems related to quality of those imported goods also began to show. In July this year, more than 400 batches(批) of food imports from 35 countries and regions were found substandard by the countryˈs top quality supervisor.
Governments and industries have been brought closer by this forum. As food moves more freely beyond borders, this forum is hoped to promote safety control cooperation, so APEC members can better benefit from the economic integration (一体化)．
33. What kind of function can the forum play?
A. It has found ways to deal with safety problems.
B. It has greatly influenced the economy in the area.
C. It has long been able to put every sideˈs efforts together.
D. It helps to bring government regulators and industries together.
34. The last but one paragraph tells us that________.
A. food imported from other countries are indeed high in quality
B. many Chinese customers would rather buy some foreign food
C. the Chinese customers are more satisfied with their food safety
D. there are only 35 countries and regions exporting food to China
35. The underlined word “address” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “______”.
A. call off B. deal with
C. send a letter about D. deliver a speech on

“Three Apples” changed the world. The first one seduced (引诱) Eve. The second one awakened Newton. 36 Here are some famous words from Steve Jobs to share.
On Character
I’m the only person I know that’s lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year. 37
On good design
That’s been one of my mottoes — focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex — You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.
On his outlook
38 Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful, that’s what matters to me.
On your working life
Your work is to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. 39 If you haven’t found it, keep looking. Don’t settle.
On the importance of death
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. 40 No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.
A. It’s very character-building.
B. The third one was in the hands of Steve Jobs.
C. This is not a one-man show.
D. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.
E. And yet death is the destination we all share.
F. It’s really hard to design products by focusing on groups.
G. Being the richest man in the cemetery (墓地) doesn’t matter to me.

Dear Tom,
How are you? Glad to tell you something about mobile payment in China.
Mobile payment is very popular in China. It has made peopleˈs daily life more and more convenient. Most of us are used to paying by scanning QR codes.
By mobile payment, we can pay easily wherever we go. You can buy breakfast on the street and pay by scanning with your smart phone. In the subway station, you scan with your smart phone to purchase your ticket. This is a glimpse into the life of most Chinese - allowing us to bid farewell to the wallet and bank cards.
Mobile payment has greatly changed peopleˈs lives in China. It seems that China is really leading in some ways and is also sweeping other nations.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua
