二、阅读理解
A
Dolphins live in a dark underwater world. It's often impossible to see each other or anything else around them, so sound plays an important role in their survival. To communicate with each other, dolphins produce all kinds of sounds.
Only other dolphins understand what the sounds mean. Scientists haven't uncovered their secret communication, except for one kind of whistle. It might last less than a second, but this whistle is a big deal. Why? Because these whistles are actually names of dolphins－and every dolphin has one. Scientists call these sounds a “signature whistle.” When other dolphins hear the whistle, they know which dolphin is calling.
Dolphins often hunt by themselves but still need to stay connected to the group. Since they can't always see each other, dolphins use their signature whistles to check in with other dolphins hundreds of yards away. “In coastal areas, dolphins exchange whistles even when they're a third of a mile apart,” says Greg Campbell, who studies animals. That means dolphins shout out to group members that might be nearly five football fields away.
What's amazing is who names the baby dolphin. Not the mother. Not an auntie dolphin or another group member. Scientists believe the baby dolphin itself comes up with the signature whistle. Like human babies, a baby dolphin plays with sounds throughout its first year. While testing its sound skills, a baby dolphin is doing something amazing. It's creating or figuring out its signature whistle. How or why it chooses its signature whistle is not clear. Studies show that most of the time the signature whistle is nothing like its mother's or group members' whistles.
When the baby dolphin is about a year old, its signature whistle is set. It repeats it often so the other dolphins learn to recognize it.
Deciphering（破译）dolphin names is just the beginning of figuring out what dolphins communicate about. Do they chat about sharks? Discuss the tides? Maybe they even have a name for people. Someday scientists may decipher the rest of dolphins' communication.
1. Sound is important for dolphins because of ______.
A. their poor sense of direction

Working women make up nearly half of the U. S. workforce, and 51 percent of professional workers, like doctors, lawyers, nurses and accountants, are female. While climbing the career ladder can be rewarding, it often comes with one big downside: weight gain!
New research published this week in the International Journal of Obesity shows that working women are more likely to be overweight, and the more you work, the more pounds you're likely to pile on. Like many women, I work..., a lot! As a selfemployed nutrition communications specialist, I sit at my desk, in front of a computer, for hours on end. Sitting alone is one of the worst things you can do for your health, and it's directly linked to being overweight and increased fatness, so the fact that women in the workforce gain weight isn't that surprising. If you work, you have less time to move around. Obesity researchers are revealing many other ways that employment is harmful to your diet and waistline.
In the International Journal of Obesity study, some 9,276 Australian women aged 45－50 had their body weight and employment status monitored for two years. Results? Those who worked more than 35 hours were likely to gain weight compared to those who worked fewer hours or were out of the workforce. What' s more, the more hours a woman worked in a week, the more weight she gained.
The authors of the Australian study attribute weight gain among working women to inactivity, lack of time for food preparation, more use of prepared foods, high levels of stress, lack of sleep and consuming more alcohol. I'll also add in travel，meals eaten out and working at night as other factors that I can find to make balancing work with a healthy diet a challenge.
5. The text above is probably taken from ________.
A. a sports report
B. a fashion journal
C. a health and fitness magazine
D. an advertisement post
6. A woman who works as an accountant is more likely to ________.
A. gain more weight
B. have more time to move around
C. work a full time job
D. keep a balanced diet
7. Which is NOT the cause of working women weight gaining according to the
passage?
A. Lacking time for food preparation.
B. Using more prepared food.
C. Consuming too much alcohol.
D. Taking part in more activities.
8. What can be a suitable title for the test?
A. Less activity leads to fat
B. Ways of gaining weight
C. Effects of weight gaining
D. Working women more likely pile on pounds
三、七选五
How to Get Happy
1 Figure out how to change the way you view your life and you can achieve happiness.
Gretchen Rubin, the creator of the Happiness Project website, spent a year testing “every principle, tip, and theory” she could find to help people cheer up, especially given the trying times. “When people feel like they're worse off than they were last year, it's a happiness challenge,” Rubin noted. Her advice: 2
Here she happily shared other pointers.
What are the things that give a happiness boost?
Sleep. Sounds boring, but a 2014 study showed tiredness is one of the top two reasons people are in a bad mood at work. Another way to boost happiness is to join or start a group. Philosophers agree that social bonds are the key to happiness. But it's hard to connect deeply with people at a party; a purpose and an agenda really help. 3 One principle of happiness is that you should always act the way you wish you felt. If you act generously, you'll feel more secure.
You don't have to do an extraordinary thing like climbing Mount Kilimanjaro?
No. If you love scrapbooking, maybe you should learn photoshop; if you like cycling, maybe bike repair. 4 And it should reflect your nature. You can be happier without completely changing your life.
5
A lot of the things I talk about are things that don't actually take much time，but you have to stick with them—like writing a journal or taking a 20minute walk every day. People always ask, “Is it hard or is it easy to do the happiness project? ”And I say, “
