Everyone was taking swigs(一大口). When the bottle got to me, I thought: “What should I do?” I took a swig. It was
19、 the biggest mistake of my life. I had to drive home later that night.I went back to my car, got in and drove off. At a stop sign I saw a policeman sitting in the parking lot across the street. His headlights were turned on, and I knew he was going to follow me. Then he flashed his lights at me. All
20、 I could think was: “Oh no, that swig!”I pulled over and waited for him to come to my door. It felt like forever. “Can I see your license and registration, please, Miss?” I gave them to him. He took them and went back to his car for a while. When he returned, he asked if I had been drinking.“No,” I
21、said. He asked me to step out of my car.“Walk heel to toe down the white line, please.” I passed the test. Next he had me stand on my left foot, lift my right foot and hold it for 30 seconds. Im not the most coordinated (动作协调的) person and I cant even walk and chew gum at the same time, so, needless
22、to say, I didnt pass. Then he asked me to take a breathalyzer test.That was where I messed up. I told him I didnt want to and didnt understand why I had to. The officer asked me three more times, and I continued to refuse. He told me to turn around and place my hands behind my back. He arrested me r
23、ight then and there.The policeman drove me to a police station 20 minutes from my home. He called my parents and told them where I was.I went to court two months after that, charged with refusing to obey an officer. I got a $700 (4,340 yuan) fine and 40 hours of community service. Ill be on probatio
24、n (缓刑) for a year, and Ill have to take the driving test again. I lost my license for a whole year.This was a huge learning experience for me. It opened my eyes to how easy it is to make a stupid decision. I want everyone reading this to know that its not right to drink and drive. It definitely isnt
25、 worth losing your license over.36According to the first paragraph, we may know that the author _.A.forgot she had to drive home later when riding with her friends B.would rather she had not accepted to drink that night.

28、oughtless friends.BIts no secret that doing good makes others happy but did you know it can make you happy as well?According to a study, people participating in meaningful activities were happier and felt that their lives had more purpose than people who only engaged in pleasure-seeking behaviors.Tr
29、y giving these four things to others to start your journey to a happier and healthier lifestyle. Your TimeWith a busy life, it can be hard to find any time to give away. However, volunteering your time has great benefits, including making new friends and connections, learning new skills and even adv
30、ancing your career.According to a paper about the link between health and volunteering, volunteering is connected with lower instances of depression and reduces the risk of dying by 22 percent. Your AttentionMost of us think were good listeners, but according to psychologist Paul Donoghue, most peop
31、le are aware that others dont listen as well as they could. In addition, theyre not fully aware that they themselves arent listening.When practicing mindfulness meditation(正念禅修), you focus on what you experience in the moment and let your thoughts and emotions pass through without judgment. Did you
32、know that giving someone your undivided attention helps you also? When done well, active listening strengthens your focuswhich is a major part of good meditation.Your CompassionThe psychological meaning of compassion is the ability to understand another persons emotional state. Compassion differs fr
33、om empathy(移情) in that those who experience compassion not only put themselves in another persons shoes, but also want to reduce that persons suffering.A brain-imaging study showed that the brains pleasure centers are equally active when we give money to the poor as when we receive money ourselves.
34、Your MoneyAccording to an experiment, those who spend money on other people are significantly happier than those who spend the same quantity of money on themselves.Whether or not you can offer other gifts, donating money helps make real change happen. It represents time spent, compassion and careful
35、 attention to the needs of others.39Who is the happiest according to the study mentioned in Paragraph 2?A.Bill, who is often invited to play golf by his wealthy uncle.

37、n.42What is the purpose of the passage?A.To encourage people to help others. B.To give the meaning of “happiness”. C.To offer a practical way of life. D.To show his kindness.CAs every computer owner knows, when their machines run a complex program they get pretty hot. In fact, cooling the processors
38、 can be expensive, especially when youre dealing with huge banks of computer servers. But what if that energy could heat private homes? A Dutch energy firm aims to do just that.Data centers of large Internet firms, such as Google, Apple, Microsoft and others, contain thousands of computer servers. A
39、s they process information they generate enormous amounts of heat requiring cooling towers that dissipate it into the atmosphere.A Dutch firm thinks paying for electricity to run the servers and then paying again to cool them is a waste of energy. Boaz Leupe, CEO of the start-up Nerdalize, says its
40、actually quite simple.“We dont actually have to build the data center, which saves a lot of costs in infrastructure and we dont have the cooling overhead, plus that you have the environmental benefit, that the kilowatt hour you are using is used twice, once to heat the home and once to compute the c
41、lients task without the cooling overhead,“ says Leupe.The company developed what it calls an e-Radiator, a computer server that also works as an alternative heating source. Leupe says that five Dutch homeowners are experimentally using them in their homes.“We reimburse the electricity the server use
42、s, and that we can do because of the computer clients on the other side, and, in that way, home owners actually get heating for free, and computer users dont have to pay for the overhead of the data center,” says Leupe.One of the participants in the year-long experiment, Jan Visser, says the amount
43、of heat produced by e-Radiator depends on the work being done by the servers processors so it cannot be used as the primary source. But he is ready to try it.“If it gives good enough warmth, you can use less of your existing central heating, and there is the chance for a home owner to pay less bills
44、.”Nerdalize says e-Radiators generate temperature of up to 55 degrees Celsius and could save up to $440 in annual heating costs.43Which one is true according to the passage？A.It is expensive to deal with huge banks of computer servers. B.A Dutch energy firm attempted to heat private homes. C.Compute
45、r servers generate large quantities of heat.

46、alternative heating source. B.It has been launched onto the market. C.It is environmentally friendly. D.It can save users money.46Which of the following can be the best title for the passage ?A.A New Kind of Data Servers B.Data Servers Could Heat Private Homes C.How to Heat the Private Homes with Co
47、mputers D.An Alternative Heating SourceDChildren love to play and laugh throughout their days at school or at home. Finding the time to laugh with your children may be the best thing you can do for the relationship. Encourage your children to develop a good humor by laughing at the jokes they make u
48、p on the spot. This will help them grow confident and build their self-esteem. If you do not get the joke, you can ask why they think the joke is funny.Honest feedback will help your children develop funnier jokes. You can take them to your local library and have them pick up a few joke books. Then you can head back home or out to the park and read it together for a good laugh. You can take turns reading jokes to each other from the book or make up a few yourselves. But if they make a joke at the expense of another person, you may want to discuss the di
