二、阅读理解
A
According to a new research, the more people in a country who have a particular gene （基因）, the happier the nation will be. This DNA is known as the FAAH gene. People with a particular version of it tend to be cheerier souls. There is a link between levels of the FAAH gene and the number of people who say they are very happy.
Sweden—one of the happiest countries in the world—also has lots of happy DNA. Ghana, Nigeria, Mexico and Columbia all come out near the top in the happiness league, and have high rates of the gene. In contrast, the people of Iraq, Jordan and China are among the least likely to rate themselves as very happy and also have the lowest level of the FAAH gene.
However, wealth and health are found to have little effect on happiness. The finding could help explain why some of the world's poorest nations are also the happiest. In addition, the FAAH gene and an optimistic attitude would not always go hand in hand. For example, Russians and Estonians score very low in happiness, despite having the right happy DNA.
Professor Michael Minkov said, “The climate condition is associated with the nation's happiness. We can notice the high occurrence of the FAAH gene in tropical （热带的） areas in the Americas and Africa. And the occurrence of the gene around the Mediterranean Sea is much lower than that in Northern Europe.”
The social experts say that genetics is not the only determinant(决定因素) of happiness. The economic and political difficulties in some nations also contribute to the very low happiness scores. Nations that are not blessed with the right DNA aren't necessarily miserable.
21. The new study shows that ________.
A. happiness is in your genes
B. human body is made up of DNA
C. the FAAH gene will make people sad
D. most people are satisfied with their lives
22. What does the underlined part “go hand in hand” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. walk with friends
B. be closely related
C. disappear from hands
D. fight against each other
23. What affects happiness according to Michael?
A. Money.
B. Health and fitness.
C. Differences in climate.
D. The number of population.
24. What can we learn from social experts?
A. Economy is connected with politics.
B. Happiness is decided by many things.
C. There is no doubt about the study result.
D. The poorer the nation is, the less happy its people are.

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now the website BookC turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it. People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E­mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual（虚拟）. The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty five countries.
25. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?
