    So you're between the ages of 13 and 24. What makes you happy? Spending time with family was the top answer to that open-ended question, according to an extensive survey--more than 100 questions asked of 1,280 people aged 13-24 -- conducted by The Associated Press on the nature of happiness among America's young people.

    Next was spending time with friends. And good news for parents: Nearly three quarters of young people say their relationship __________ makes them happy.

    "They're my foundation," says Kristiana St. John, 17, a high-school student from Queens in New York. "My mom tells me that even if I do something stupid, she's still going to love me no matter what. Just knowing that makes me feel very happy and blessed."

    Other results are more disconcerting. While most young people are happy overall with the way their lives are going, there are racial differences: the poll shows whites to be happier than blacks and Hispanics. A lot of young people feel stress, particularly those from the middle class, and females more than males.    

    You might think money would be clearly tied to a general sense of happiness. But almost no one said "money" when asked what makes them happy, though people with the highest family incomes are generally happier with life. However, having highly educated parents is a stronger predictor of happiness than income.

    Overwhelmingly, young people think marriage would make them happy and want to be married some day. Most also want to have kids.

    Finally, when asked to name their heroes, nearly half of respondents mentioned one or both of their parents. The winner, by a nose: Mom.

    1. What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words)

                                                                             

    2. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

    Although most youths are generally happy with their present life. There are differences between different races.  

                                                                             

    3. Please fill in the blank in the second paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words)

                                                                             

    4. What do you think is the most important factor that makes you happy? Why? (Please answer within 30 words)

                                                                             

    5. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.

                                                                               

    1. Family is the top answer to youth happiness.

    2. While most young people are happy overall with the way their lives are going, there are racial differences.

    3. with their parents

    4. 略。   

    5. 然而，和高收入相比较，拥有受到过高等教育的父母是一种更有力的幸福的预兆

    Hey there,

    So you’re about to spend four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars of your parents’ money, and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?

    Relax. You’re making the right decision. First of all, you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any pictures; once you’re in a drawing-room on campus, you’ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of fun—after you graduate, you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduates get about twice the income of those who never attended college.

    Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.

    Researching School. To us, the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits you best---- not the one that is the most competitive or has the best-equipped rooms.

    Applying to School. On JohnsonReview.com, you’ll find hundreds of actual college applications(申请) and links to many more.

    Raising Your Scores. American College Test is one of the most important parts of the admissions(录取) course. It’s not the most important, though, and not everyone needs to prepare for the best. But, if you think you can do better, find the right course for better scores.

    Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college. However, if you really do your research, you’ll learn that there are many ways to get financial aid and that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.

    For more information, call 600-3681 or visit Johnson Review.com, wherever you go, have a nice trip!

    科目：高中英语 来源：2011年浙江省温州市高一下学期期末考试英语题 题型：阅读理解

    I’m fat. I’m too skinny. I’d be happy if I were taller, shorter, had curly hair, straight hair, a smaller nose, bigger muscles, longer legs. Do any of these statements sound familiar? Do you often put yourself down? If so, you’re not alone. As a teen, you’re going through a ton of changes in your body. And as your body changes, so does your image (形象) of yourself. Lots of people have trouble getting used to it and this can affect their confidence.

    Some people think they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves. But actually all you need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself.

    The first thing to do is recognize that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size, or color it comes in. If you’re very worried about your weight or size, go to your doctor to check that things are OK. But it’s no one’s business but your own what your body is like—finally, you have to be happy with yourself.

    Next, find which aspects (方面) of your appearance you can change and which you can’t change and need to accept—like their height, for example, or their shoe size.

    If there are things about yourself that you want to change and can do this by making goals for yourself. For example, if you want to get fit, make a pan to exercise every day and eat nutritious foods.

    When you hear negative comments coming from within yourself, tell yourself to stop. Try building your confidence by listing three things in your day that really gave you pleasure. It can be anything like the way the sun felt on your face, the sound of your favorite band, or the way someone laughed at your jokes.

    1.From the first paragraph, we can infer that           .

    A. many teens can’t accept their body change easily

    B. most teens like to have a special body image

    C. teens prefer to change their body image quickly

    D. teens usually change their opinions on their body image

    2.Which of the following does the author probably agree with?

    A. Change the way other people look at you.

    B. Go to your doctor for advice on how to change your body.

    C. Realize you can’t change everything about yourself.

    D.源Learn from some celebrities on how to change your body.

    3.The underlined phrase “put yourself down” in the first paragraph probably means          .

    A. make yourself fall down          B. say negative things about yourself

    C. force yourself to do something       D. write down your name somewhere

    4.The passage is mainly about           .

    A. how to adjust to the changes of your body       

    B. how to build confidence by changing your body

    C. how to keep an attractive body image

    D. how to find pleasure in your day
