New Haven, Connecticut-A surprise awaited students in Yale who showed up for Professor Laurie Santos's class. They got slips of paper that said, “No class today.” There was only one rule for the students' unexpected free time-They were not allowed to study, but to relax. Since exams and papers were coming up, everyone was tired and stressed. At this moment they were touched. With around applause, nine students hugged Santos, and two burst into tears.
Yet, cancelling class was not just a break. It was also a challenge, as she was asking them to stop worrying about their grades, even if it was just an hour. One student went to the Yale University Art Gallery for the first time in her four years at Yale. A group of students went to a recording studio and played a new song. More people were outside, and more were smiling. That's why about 1,200 students were taking Santos's class, called “Psychology and the Good Life”, the largest class in Yale's 317year history. Even nonYale students had the chance to take Santos's class. It was offered as an online course and she immediately became an Internet hit.
Skyler Robinson, one of her students, was at a loss for a while about what to do during his break, and then decided to take a nap. “It was a great nap,” he commented. Santos designed the class after she realized that her students kept busy through long days that seemed far more depressing and joyless than her own college years. “They feel they're in this crazy rat race. They're working so hard that they can't take a single hour off. That's awful.”
The ideas behind the class are simple. Santos said, “It is the hope that science can help students find peace among all the stresses and difficulties they face at college.” The lessons include showing more gratitude, performing acts of kindness and increasing social connections. The students really wanted to learn to lead a happy life in a sciencedriven way. Santos also noted the psychological happening of “miswanting”, which led people to work towards the wrong goals in life.
One week, Santos asked students to exercise. Another week, she wanted them to get more sleep. They worked hard to keep some new habits. Social science research led to many new understandings of how people find happiness. She thinks her class can change Yale, or rather, not just Yale.

March 3 marks World Hearing Day. This year's theme is “Check your hearing!” Many experts and health organizations, including those who pay attention to the hearingimpaired (听力受损的), are working to help people realize the importance of protecting their hearing and avoid hearing loss.
When we talk about music, what kind of feelings does it bring? Excitement...and relaxation. But what if the music lasts for hours?
We interviewed a group of musicians based in Beijing during the weekend. They all said that hours of exposure to loud music can cause discomfort. One added that band members like to play at maximum volume and forget the harm that loud music can cause. The same thing not only occurs to musicians. It's also not rare for daily users since listening to loud music on loud sound equipment has become a part of modern life. According to the WHO, the practice has put more than a billion people around the world, aged 12-35, at risk of losing their hearing.
We also interviewed some headphone users in the street, and most of them said that they are not heavy users but admitted that they use headphones for hours on the subway and in the office or home. It's easy for these people to gradually increase the volume without awareness, especially in a noisy environment. Often, headphone users fail to realize they're listening to audio at unsafe levels until serious hearing problems suddenly occur.
There are many reasons for hearing loss,including loud acoustic(听觉的) sources, drug abuse, and diseases. Experts suggest frequent medical checks and prevention measures.
Whether congenital(先天的) or acquired, loss of hearing is usually irreversible. “Once the hearing loss occurs, it's already too late to be changed back to what it was before,” said Yang Shiming, an expert of the Chinese PLA General Hospital. “Early prevention, early identification and early treatment. If everyone could do these things, hearing loss and its harm could be kept to a minimum,”Yang said. Of course, this applies to every one of us.
8.What might be a reason for hearing loss?
A.Listening to music. B.Taking medicines.
C.Ignoring sound pollution. D. Using headphones.
9.What does Yang Shiming advise people to do about hearing loss?
A.Get rid of drug abuse.
B.Make prevention ahead of time.
C.Stop playing music in bands.
D.Choose music with the help of musicians.
10.Which can best explain “irreversible” underlined in the last paragraph?
A.Incurable. B.Unavailable.
C.Unbelievable. D.Invisible.
11.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Preventing Hearing Loss
B.Reasons for Losing Hearing
C.The Origin of World Hearing Day
D.Raising Awareness of Protecting Hearing

Being stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when you're in a hurry is one of the most annoying things. But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK's largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.
The Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex has introduced a 720foot “fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the festive rush. The centre's management team said:“The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don't want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”
The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the festive shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.
Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasn't surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world. “Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centres tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season,” he said. “I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.”
The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include “Skaters” who try and make their way through crowds politely, “Dodgers” who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers, “Bulldozers” who push their way through crowds, and “Tutters” who express their frustrations to slow walkers.
12.The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who ________.
A.can't move quickly because of physical disabilities
B.buy things on their shopping lists quickly
C.take their time to do window shopping
D.want to leave the mall quickly
13.What is Gary Mortimer's attitude to the fast lane?
A.Supportive. B.Indifferent.
C.Critical. D.Objective.
14.Who may patiently move behind a slow crowd?
A.Skaters. B.Dodgers. C.Bulldozers. D.Tutters.
15.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Shopping can be annoying sometimes.
B.How to avoid slow walkers when shopping.
C.The problems that shopping centres face during busy holidays.
D.The shopping mall creates the fast lane to avoid slow walkers.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,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。
Current digital technology gives us music of flawless quality. It also makes it easier to copy, upload and stream music without having to download it. __16__. However, as climate change is on everyone's mind these days, the question related to music arises-Which music consumption form is worse for the environment: CDs, vinyl (黑胶唱片), or digital music? The answer might surprise you.
__17__, logic would suggest that music downloads and online streaming are good for the environment. But must it surely be more environmentally friendly? Even though streamed music is materialfree, that doesn't mean it doesn't have an environmental impact. In fact, the information is searched and sent to our electronic devices across the network, which costs energy. __18__.
Researchers found that streaming an album over the Internet will use 27 times more energy than it takes to produce a single CD or vinyl record. In any given second, the music platform is serving about 2.5 million streams at the same time. __19__, that means almost 210,000 albums' worth of music has been streamed. It will use nearly 8,000 times more energy than what making one CD takes. Meanwhile, if you buy a CD, it's there permanently. The only extra energy required is whatever you need to power your CD player.
The study was published before Record Store Day-an event that encourages listeners to buy physical record. __20__ Rather, they want you to think about your power use and choose services that minimize their effect on the planet. They also hope this could develop alternatives that are more sustainable without sacrificing the convenience you expect.
