These shoes mean there is probably no food left in my house. These shoes mean noise and mess but laughter and music as well."‎ ‎ When Duckworth returned from work and saw the shoes recently, they brought on a wave of sadness because she realized that things were changing. Most of the kids who wear the shoes have just graduated from high school and she realizes that time is precious in her 18th summer with her sons. She continues that she knows seeing the shoes in the house means that the kids are safe, but soon all the shoes will be "spread across college campuses "and she knows "all of these shoes might not find their way back home next summer as life takes them on new adventures."‎ The time might be bittersweet, but Duckworth wants to focus on creating happy memories rather than focusing on the sadness that could come. She is going to be thankful for the shoes and enjoy every moment with the kids.‎ ‎ The sentimental post generated a massive amount of interest with it being shared over 88,000 times in a week and receiving 14,000 comments.

UK researchers found moving to a green space had a lasting positive effect, unlike pay rises or promotions, which only provided a short-term boost. Co-author Mathew White, from the European Centre for Environment and Human Health at the University of Exeter, UK, explained that the study showed people living in greener urban areas were displaying fewer signs of depression or anxiety." There could be a number of reasons," he said," for example, people do many things to make themselves happier: they try hard for promotion or pay rises, or they get married. But the trouble with all those things is that within six months to a year, people are back to their original baseline levels of well-being. So, these things don't make us happy in the long term. We found that for some lottery(彩票) winners ‎ who had won more than $500,000 the positive effect was definitely there, but after six months to a year, they were back to the baseline."‎ Dr. White said his team wanted to see whether living in greener urban areas had a lasting positive effect on people's sense of well-being or whether the effect also disappeared after a period of time. To do this, the team used data from the British Household Panel Survey by the University of Essex.‎ ‎ Explaining what the data revealed, he said:" What you see is that even after three years, mental health is still better, which is unlike many of the other things that we think will make us happy." He observed that people living in green spaces were less stressed, and less stressed people made more sensible decisions and communicated better.‎ ‎ With a growing body of evidence establishing a link between urban green spaces and a positive influence on human well-being. Dr. White said, "There's growing interest among public policy officials, but the trouble is who funds it. What we really need at a policy level is to decide where the money will come from to help support good quality local green spaces.‎ ‎28. According to one study, what do green spaces do to people?‎ A. Improve their work efficiency. ‎ B. Add to their lasting happiness.‎ C. Help them build a positive attitude towards life. ‎ ‎ D. Lessen their concerns about material well-being.‎ ‎29. What does Dr. White try to find out about living in a greener urban area?‎ A. How it affects different people. B. How strong its effect is.‎ C. How long its positive effect lasts. D. How it benefits physically.‎ ‎30. What did Dr. White research reveal about people living in a green environment?‎ A. Their stress was more obvious than real.‎ B. Their decisions required less consideration.‎ C. Their memories were greatly strengthened .‎ D. Their communication with others improved.‎ ‎31. According to Dr. White , what should the government do to build more green spaces in cities?‎ A .Find financial support. B. Improve urban planning .‎ C. Involve local residents in the effort. D. Raise public awareness of the issue.‎ D In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources(资源), the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable(可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.‎ ‎ Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has sets its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil(棕榈油), which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.‎ ‎ Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can public accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one. The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.‎ ‎32. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that _____.‎ A. It makes the world warmer . B. it consumes natural resources.‎ C. it brings severe damage to forests . D. it makes growth hard to continue.‎ ‎33. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?‎ A. China lacks wind and solar energy. ‎ B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market.‎ C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development. ‎ D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.‎ ‎34. To full develop the low-carbon markets, government can _____.‎ A. cut public expenses . B. forbid carbon emissions.‎ C. develop public resources . D. encourage energy conservation.‎ ‎35. What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A. To introduce a new business model. ‎ B. To compare two business models.‎ C. To predict a change of the global market. ‎ D. To advocate sustainable development.‎ 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)‎ 根据起文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ One of the areas of our body which conveys most about how we feel is how we move our hands and arms. ___36___, but most often they occur unconsciously and naturally.‎ ‎ ____37___.

This room screens videos of special interest and is also used for lectures.

Next week, a student film festival is being hosted here.‎ ‎ Now we're coming to the Picture Gallery. This collection is a great way to get a sense of what life on campus was like over thelast100years, as well as all the various changes that happened with the growth of the university. There are many paintings and photos, all done by local artists. Some of them are now famous. It's a great collection, and people think quite highly of it.‎ Well, I'm going to leave you now to walk around the university museum on your own for awhile.‎ Please make sure that you don't touch anything, and remember that photography is not allowed. We'll meet back at the entrance in an hour and a half. I hope you enjoy your time at the university today. Thank you.‎
