• 13．Joy is an emotion experienced by many but understood by few.It often refers to a broad sense of being satisfied with life that appears after experiencing a sense of awe or wonder. It also related to accomplishing something we've wanted for a long time.It's usually mistaken for happiness，but joy is experienced naturally，while happiness is often pursued.
     Joy triggers（引發(fā)）a series of physical and psychological changes that can improve our health.When joyous，our breathing becomes faster，our heartbeat increases，and our chest and entire body feel warmer.These changes make our body prepared for movement and also make us feel more mentally prepared to take on life's challenges.These changes in body and mind are also associated with improved mood.
     Interestingly，joy is both a state and a trait（特質(zhì)）.This means that while some of us only experience it as a result of a joyful situation，others have a capacity for it，that is to say，they're able to experience joy regardless of whether they've encountered something joyful.Some research suggests that this capacity is genetic，with estimates that about 30%of people have this "gift for joy".This means they're hardly influenced by their external environment and may find it easier to experience joy.
     But just because some people may find it easier to experience joy，that doesn't mean we can do nothing to help boost our experience of it.Sharing and preparing food with others can help us experience more joy，as it can enhance what's known as psychological flourishing—the highest level of wellbeing.Researchers also find that doing exercise in company with other people or accomplishing an exercise-related goal we never thought we were capable of can lead to joy.Another simple way to boost feelings of joy is by writing down how you feel.In one experiment，participants who spent 20 minutes a day writing about positive experiences for three months reported better moods compared with participants who wrote about different topics.
     However，while joy is wonderful to experience，it isn't the only emotion we'll feel in our life.It's important to embrace all the emotions we experience —be that sadness，anger，happiness or joy.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word"It"in Paragraph 1 refer to？

  
  A．Joy.
  B．Sense.
  C．Awe.
  D．Wonder.
  （2）The changes triggered by joy can

  .
  A．make our breath faster
  B．increase our heartbeat
  C．prepare our body for movement
  D．make us feel challenged
  （3）Why is joy a trait？

  
  A．Because it's a result of a joyful situation.
  B．Because it's an experience of few people.
  C．Because it's a general capacity.
  D．Because it's a genetic talent.
  （4）Which of the following statements does the author agree with？

  
  A．Food is an important source of joy.
  B．It's joyful to exercise with other people.
  C．Being a writer makes you have better moods.
  D．Joy should be valued more than other emotions.

• 14．This is awkward for someone who writes about technology to admit but —whisper it—smart phones are getting a little boring.Take the newest iPhones for example，they were a little faster and had slightly better cameras，but they were not quite different from their iPhones already in the pockets.
     This is why some people in the tech industry are eager for something new and are asking，"What will be the next revolutionary invention to transform our lives just as fundamentally as the smart phone or the personal computer？"At the moment，a lot of people are betting that it will be smart glasses.Imagine if instead of having to pick up your phone and look at the screen like a caveman，all of the digital information you need simply appears floating right in front of you，in your glasses.
     If the technology can be cracked，the possibilities are endless.Imagine having satellite navigation directions appear right there on the road in front of you.Or imagine being able to secretly watch YouTube during a particularly boring meeting.Smart glasses could be big in industry too.They could display detailed instructions to engineers，so they can fix things more quickly.This sounds like science fiction.
     What's fun is that while our phones are not dramatically changing，if you watch hard enough you can still see small steps being taken by the big tech firms towards technologies that will be directly applicable to smart glasses.So if the technology is here，why aren't we all wearing smart glasses yet？The reason is that there is just one stumbling block（絆腳石） left：the screen.So far no one has invented a good way of projecting digital images on glass lonses.Though there have been a few attempts，such as Google Glass，they were disadvantaged by a very limited "field of view".This is a problem that，behind the scenes，the likes of Apple.Google and Facebook are pouring enormous resources into solving.So while I can't say exactly when smart glasses will arrive，they could come into focus much sooner than we think.
  
  （1）Why are some people in the tech industry eager for something new？

  
  A．Because smart phones were much different from the old ones.
  B．Because the newest technology didn't make real breakthroughs.
  C．Because personal computers were not a revolutionary invention.
  D．Because no technology ever transformed our lives fundamentally.
  （2）How does the third paragraph mainly develop？

  
  A．By giving examples.
  B．By analyzing causes.
  C．By introducing a topic.
  D．By describing a process.
  （3）What does the author think of the phones at present？

  
  A．They are changing dramatically.
  B．They are pointless to new technologies.
  C．They are helpful in developing smart glasses.
  D．They are more convenient than smart glasses.
  （4）What's the main idea of the passage？

  
  A．Smart glasses are a stumbling block to new technology.
  B．Smart glasses are the next invention to change the world.
  C．Digital technology will contribute to endless applications.
  D．Digital technology is the basis of revolutionary inventions.

     Rabbits are a popular symbol of Eastor and there is usually an increase in owning rabbits at this time.（1）

  .They are complex animals with specific needs and not as easy to own as once thought.However，with the right care they are incredibly rewarding and interesting pets.Here are things to consider.
     Rabbits need a lot of space
     They are active animals that need to be able to hop，jump，run and explore.A pair of rabbits should be provided with a space that is no less than three metres by two metres by one metre high.（2）

  .As rabbits are most active at dusk and dawn，exercise areas should be permanently attached.
     （3）

  
     Rabbits are social creatures and need the company of their own kind.Keep at least two together and you'll never look back—watching rabbits interact with each other is a joy.The best combination is a neutered（絕育的） male and neutered female，but neutered same sex siblings can work too.
     All paws on the floor
     Rabbits are thought of as an"easy"introduction to owning a pet and are often bought for small children.Of course，children can enjoy learning about rabbits and interacting with them.（4）

  .As prey animals，they like to keep all four feet firmly on the ground and prefer to hop onto a lap to get a tasty treat rather than be picked up.
     Always give the right food
     （5）

  .So they need constant access to grass of good quality to keep them healthy.They only need a small amount of concentrated food a day and a few healthy greens."Sugary"vegetables and fruits should only be fed very occasionally，if at all.
  
  A.A single rabbit is a lonely rabbit
  B.Adopt rabbits from a rescue shelter
  C.Children's playhouses are often a cost-effective choice
  D.But it's important to think twice before deciding if they are right for you
  E.Rabbits have a complex digestive system and teeth that grow continuously.
  F.Rabbits can reproduce from four months，so it's important to get them neutered
  G.Unfortunately，they don't enjoy being picked up and they are easily frightened
