Some researchers claim that people´s personalities can be classified by their blood types.If you have blood type O, you are a leader. When you see something you want, you strive to achieve your goal. You are passionate, loyal, and self-confident, and you are often a trendsetter. Your enthusiasm for projects and goals spreads to others who happily follow your lead. When you want something, you may be ruthless about getting it or blind to how your actions affect others. Another blood type, A, is a social, “people” person. You like people and work well with them. You are sensitive, patient, compassionate, and affectionate.

　　America is growing older. Fifty - eight years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. To day, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways—education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various , ages.
　　A person s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29 - year - old university president or a 35 - year -old grandmother, or a 70 year - old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
　　Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother— or my father— was at my age. ”No one says“Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
28．It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ________ .
　　A. has made people feel younger
　　B. has changed people’s social position
　　C. has changed people’s understanding of age
　　D. has slowed down the country’s social development
29．The underlined word “one” refers to ________ .
　　A. a society　　　　B. America　　 C. a place　　　　　　D. population
30．“Act your age” means people should ________ .
　　A. be active when they are old
　　B. do the right thing at the right age
　　C. show respect for their parents young or old
　　D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age
31．If a 25 - year - old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it ________ .
　　A. normal　　　　　　　　　　　　B. wonderful
C. unbelievable　　　　　　　　　　D. unreasonable
D
　　The way people hold to the belief that a fun - filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
　　As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment , self - improvement.
　　Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
　　Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
　　Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
32．According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ________ .
　　A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities
　　B. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single
　　C. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage
　　D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement
33．Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ________ .
　　A. a moral duty　　B. a thankless job　　C. a rewarding task　　D. a source of inevitable pain

34．From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ________ .
　　A. hatred　　　　　　　　　　　　B. misunderstanding
　　C. prejudice　　　　　　　　　　　D. ignorance
35．What is the author trying to tell us?
　　A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain．
　　B. One must know how to attain happiness.
　　C. It is important to make commitments.
　　D. It is pain that leads to happiness.

依据短文内容，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。
On holidays you’re likely to eat and overeat between family gatherings, office parties and celebrating with friends. 36 Here are some tips to help you enjoy holiday food without completely changing your diet:
1. Switch to small plates.
Not only do smaller dishes fill up faster, but the same size helping looks like more food when it’s on a small dish. 37 But whatever the size of your plate, it’s most important to remember to keep it balanced: half for vegetables, a quarter for grains and a quarter for lean meat.
2. Measure out snacks
Your favorite holiday movie is on. Take a minute to check the nutrition label and measure out a serving to keep calories in check. Take one popular brand of buttered microwave popcorn for example. 38 But the bag contains 2.5 servings. Eat the whole thing on your own, and you’ll have eaten 425 calories.
3. Split an entree(主菜).
Many restaurants serve far more food than one person needs in a single meal. 39 Or pack half your entree to go as soon as it’s served. Or choose a small-size option, if available.
4. Stop eating when you feel satisfied.
You don’t have to feel too full, or force yourself to clean your plate, before putting down your fork. 40 When you’re satisfied, save the rest for leftovers.
A. Share a main dish with a friend.
B. It’s important for you to eat more on holidays. 
C. Eat slowly and pay attention to feelings of hunger. 
D. Studies show we tend to put on a few pounds this time of year.
E. Enjoy an entree slowly by yourself.
F. So you’ll be likely to serve yourself less.
G. One serving is about 4 cups popped with 170 calories.
