10、n the United Kingdom. He was born in Zanzibar, the semi-autonomous island off the east African coast. Zanzibar underwent a revolution in 1964 in which citizens of Arab origin were persecuted.

18、f us have dreamed. Researchers found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective well-being（幸福） -but only up to a point. People who had up to two hours of free time a day generally reported they felt better than those who had less time. But people who had five or more h
19、ours of free time a day generally said they felt worse. “While too little time is bad, having more time is not always better,” said Marissa Sharif, an assistant professor of marketing at The Wharton School. For example, some adults struggle with the “retirement blues”, which can be due to a lack of
20、stimulation and structure, among other things. They conducted several smaller online experiments. In one they asked participants to imagine having 3.5 to 7 free hours per day. They were asked to imagine spending that time doing “productive” things（like exercising） or to imagine doing “unproductive”
21、activities (like watching TV). Study participants believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day-but only if they used it unproductively. “In other words, how people use their free time matters,” Sharif said. “Of course, what feels productive is up to you. Free-
22、time activities like knitting, reading, cooking or gaming are also known to put people in a state of flow. In cases when people do find themselves with excessive（过多的）amounts of spare time, such as retirement or having left a job,” Sharif said, “our results suggest these individuals would benefit fro

25、e significance of the experiment.CThe consequence of the experiment.DThe purpose of the experiment.11What can we infer from Sharifs words in the last paragraph?ATaking good advantage of free time will help bring people happiness.BAttending too many activities may damage peoples health.CSpending spar
26、e time with friends often benefits people a lot.DHaving little free time may result in anxiety.Set to launch on October 16, the Lucy spacecraft is designed to study Jupiters Trojan asteroids. These asteroids are small bodies left over from the formation of our solar systems large planets. They share
27、 an orbit with Jupiter as the planet goes around the sun The missions aim is to gather new information about the solar systems formation 4.5 billion years ago. Lucy will observe eight asteroids over 12 years. One of the eight asteroids orbits in what is known as the Asteroid Belt, an area between Ma
28、rs and Jupiter. Most known asteroids orbit within this area. The spacecraft will also observe seven Trojan asteroids. Scientists consider the Trojan asteroids to be the ancient remains of the formation of the solar system. They have stayed captured in Jupiters orbit for billions of years. The Trojan
29、s orbit the sun in two groupsone thats ahead of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, and a second one that lags behind it. Lucy will be the first spacecraft designed to visit and observe these asteroids.The spacecraft was named Lucy after the ancient fossil discovered in Ethiopia in 1974
30、. Lucy was one of the most famous scientific finds of the 20th century. The collection of skeletal bones gave scientists a better understanding of the evolution of humans. Cathy Olkin, the deputy lead investigator for the Lucy mission, compared the NASA spacecraft to the Lucy fossil. “Just like the
31、Lucy fossil transformed our understanding of human evolution, the Lucy mission will transform our understanding of solar system evolution,” she said. The spacecraft is equipped with several imaging instruments designed to capture information about the composition of materials on the surface of aster
32、oids. Other equipment will be used to record asteroid surface temperatures and measure the size of the objects the spacecraft observes. Lucy will depend on solar power to operate. NASA says the mission expects to set a record because Lucy will travel farther from the sun than any past solar powered
33、spacecraft. Lori Glaze, the director of NASAs planetary science division, said, “Whatever Lucy finds will give us vital clues about the formation of our solar system.”12What is the mission of the Lucy spacecraft?ATo collect soil samples from Jupiter.BTo explore the surface of Trojan asteroids.CTo se
34、arch for life on Mars.DTo find out the origin of solar system.13What does the underlined word “lags” possibly mean in the second paragraph?AMoves.BCatches.CLeads.DHides.14What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?AThe evolution of humans.BThe significance of the Lucy mission.CThe inspiration for the name Luc
35、y.DThe introduction to the Lucy fossil.15What do we know about the Lucy spacecraft?AIt moves a little slow with its big size.BIt has an imaging instrument.CIt gets closer to the sun than other spacecraft.DIt is powered by solar energy.二、七选五How to Overcome JealousyEveryone feels a little jealous once
