7、ess.Like many teenagers, I was once troubled by anxiety and dissatisfaction-feelings that my parents often met with puzzlement rather than sympathy. They were already in their 50s, and having grown up in postwar Britain, they struggled to understand the sources of my discontentment. “The problem wit
8、h your generation is that you always desire to be happy.” my mother once said. I was puzzled. Surely happiness was the purpose of living, and we should spare no efforts to achieve it at every opportunity. I simply wasnt prepared to accept my unhappiness as something that was beyond my control. But I
9、 have noticed a shift in thinking, and I am now coming to the conclusion that my mothers judgement was spot on. Over the past 10 years, numerous studies have shown that our obsession (痴迷) with happiness and high personal confidence may be making us less content with our lives, and less effective at
10、reaching our actual goals. Indeed, we may often be happy when we stop focusing on happiness altogether. While greater contentment is achievable, dont expect miracle, and accept that no matter how hard you try, feeling of frustration and unhappiness will appear from time to time. In reality, certain
11、negative feelings can serve a useful purpose. When we feel sad, its often because we have learned something painful but important, while stress can motivate you to make some changes to your life. The last thing you should do is to blame yourselves for occasionally feeling bad when plans dont work ou
12、t. Eventually, you might adopt the old saying “Prepare for the worst, hope for the best and be unsurprised by everything in between.” As my mother tried to teach me all those years ago, ease the pressure off yourself. and you may find that contentment arrives when youre least expecting it.4Which of

15、nd unhappiness will disappear from our life.7Which of the following can be the best title for the text?ACan we benefit from negative feelings?BWhy its time to stop fighting for happiness?CHow can we overcome our unhappiness?DCan we generation be happier than our parents?After you finish your fries,
16、eat the ketchup packet. When you add your pasta to boiling waler, put the bag into the pot, too. If these instructions sound confusing to you, its only because you havent yet heard of Notpla, a London-based startup company that is designing a seaweed-based replacement for single-use plastic packagin
17、g. Notpla design director Karlijn Sibbel says they look lo nature as inspiration for the ideal packaging like the skin on a fruit. “A peel will eventually be used as nutrients by nature, and disappear and become a part of the cycle.” she said. According to the UN, 9.15 billion tons of plastic has be
18、en produced since the early 1950s, and about 60% has been land-filled or abandoned outdoors. Micro-plastics, which are often the result of larger plastics breaking down, pollute the ocean, the air and our bodies. Over the past few years, there has been a growing movement against single-use plastics
19、as many experts have argued the products are unnecessary and harmful. In the US, some places have taken action: New York banned most plastic shopping bags, and in Miami Beach, plastic straws have been outlawed. “Overseas, the European Union put a broad ban on single-use plastics into effect this sum
20、mer.” the government announced in August. Notplas founders, Rodrigo Garoia Gonzlez and Pierre Paslie, initially looked to seaweed as the solution to the worlds plastic problem because “it is abundant, grows quickly, doesnt compete with land crops.” Sibbel explained. There are also many different sea
21、weed species, and it can be harvested or farmed. Seaweed doesnt use land; it doesnt use pesticides. It can grow into the ocean and the sea, where it actually has a lot of positive benefits so it can create new ecosystems for other organisms to thrive in. “As they scale up, Notplas team hopes seaweed
22、 could replace single-use plastic in the supply chain more broadly.” Sibbel said. But with the volume of plastics used around the world, she understands the enormity (巨大) of such a task. “I dont think one material or one solution is going to solve everything, but we think that seaweed really ticks t
23、he right boxes.” she said.8What does the author mainly talk about in the first paragraph?AThe tasty food made from seaweed such as pasta.BCommon functions of seaweed.CThe famous company called Notpla.DPlastic packaging made from seaweed.9What can be learned about plastic pollution and solutions from
24、 the passage?AMicro-plastics can only be found in the sea.BThe single-use plastics are considered avoidable by many experts.CMore than half of the plastic produced has been land-filled.DThe European Union and the US have completely slopped using single-use plastics.10Which is not the reason for the
25、companys founders turning to seaweed?AIt is pesticide-free.BIt is easily accessible.CIt can grow on land.DIt can do good to the ocean.11Which word best describes Karlijn Sibbels attitude to the future use of seaweed?AOptimistic.BUncertain.CNegative.DWorried.By being able to nail for belle food, cutt
26、lefish showed self-control thats linked to the higher intelligence. It was part of an experiment by Alex Schnell from the University of Cambridge and colleagues. “What surprised me most was the level of self-control shown by cuttlefish.” she tells Weekend Edition.The experiment was essentially a tak
27、e on the classic “marshmallow” experiment from the 1960s. In that experiment, young children were presented with one marshmallow and told that if they can resist eating it for several minutes, they will get two marshmallows. But if they eat it, thats all they get. The children who are able to delay
28、gratification do better on tests and are more successful later in life.To adapt the experiment for cuttlefish, the researchers first figured out the cuttlefishs favorite food: live grass shrimp; and their second-favorite food: a piece of king prawn. Instead of choosing one or two marshmallows, the c
29、uttlefish had to choose either their favorite food or second-favorite food. Each of the food items were placed in clear chambers within their tank. One chamber would open immediately, while the other chamber would only open after a delay. It essentially tested whether they could resist the temptatio
30、n (诱惑) of their second preference food and wait for their preferred food.The cuttlefish learned to wait. “Animals like rats and pigeons find it difficult to resist temptation, only waiting for several seconds,” Schnell says, “while animals such as chimpanzees and parrots show more advanced self-cont
31、rol and wail up to several minutes. And the cuttlefish in our study waited up to between 50 to 130 seconds.”Animals that are able to exercise self-control in this way have advantages. For example, animals can hide food to eat later. In cuttlefish, Schnell thinks the delayed gratification relates to
32、their lifestyle. “Individuals who wait for better-quality prey could find food more efficiently and limit their exposure to predators.”Schnell writes.12Why does the writer mention the experiment conducted in the 1960s?ATo highlight the intelligence of humans.BTo offer statistics to the experiment fo
33、r cuttlefish.CTo show the differences between humans and animals.DTo provide supporting background information for the following experiment.13What can we learn about the experiment for cuttlefish from the passage?AThe chamber with cuttlefishs favorite food wouldnt open instantly.BThe cuttlefish had
34、to choose between the food they liked and the food they disliked.CCuttlefish could not wait to eat their favourite food immediately.DThe food were put at the same place for cuttlefish to choose from.14What can be inferred from the passage?ACuttlefish is probably born with the ability to resist tempt
35、ation.BIt is a disadvantage for animals to exercise too much self-control.CCuttlefish may be less intelligent than Chimpanzees.DWe must take immediate measures to protect cuttlefish.15Where can we most probably read this text?AIn a personal diary.BIn a travel magazine.CIn a science report.DIn a geog
