Great design can make people happy.From the color of our walls to the sofa we sit on and the cup that holds our morning coffee,products can have a huge effect on the way we feel.Here are a few examples.
The red table （from £9，020）
The struggle to find a large extendable dining table in a finish （饰面） other than wood led the De Rosee Sa studio to design this statement piece. "This table is amazing and really different," says Lucinda Chambers. "I love the high shine and it would be such a talking point in a room."
The Pacific chair （around £1，900）
The rounded,oversized shapes of this chair by Patricia Urquiola are further strengthened by her use of soft upholstery （座套） including plush wool and luxurious velvet. "This piece looks graceful in style and would make a great side chair," says Sarah Spiteri.
The Holi sofa （around £2，750）
Available in 60 colors,there is a true versatility （多功能性） to the Holi sofa.Its washed-linen material feels casual and comfortable-it is an excellent family piece. "It's smart enough to work in a fashionable living room,and also friendly enough to sit in any other room of a house," says Pip McCormac.
The headboard bed （from £1，289）
This eye-catching bed features an elegant winged headboard and is available in 100 different colors and materials with a wide range of leg choices. "It's an affordable design that you could make your own with custom fabrics," says Minnie Kemp.

Stand-up paddleboarding or SUP is becoming one of the fastest growing water sports in the world,and it's easy to see why.
"Paddleboarding is a lot of fun and a great workout （锻炼） for your legs and upper body," says Esther Wyatt,a paddleboard expert. "It works wonders for your balance,too."
Fans of SUP say it's a wonderful way to relax.Concentrating on standing upright,your mind has to focus on the present moment,so you forget about any anxiety or stress.
Easter agrees that SUP can improve happiness. "some people enjoy the sport as it's a social experience with friends,while others go on a solo paddle to reflect on their day, " says she. "I also teach individuals with disabilities and mental problems who use paddle-boarding for recovery. "
"When I bought my first board more than 10 years ago,I had to search everywhere to find one for sale in England, " says Easter. "People would ask me what I was doing.Today though,paddle-boarding is the sport of the moment. "
There are certainly more opportunities to try SUP.There are many professional SUP teachers,and some leisure centers even offer SUP classes in their swimming pools.
As a beginner,it's worth having at least one lesson.You will be given a life jacket and learn how to stay safe on the water.Lessons also stress the importance of always checking the weather forecast,wind direction and tide times.Once on a board,you might be surprised to discover that this sport is actually quite easy.
"Once you understand how to paddle safely,so many adventures lie ahead," Esther adds. "Whether you're on a river,lake or the sea,you'll enjoy every experience."
24.What do we know about paddleboarding from the text？ ______

D. It can only be done in swimming pools.

When Tony took up running as a hobby he was 42 years old.Now 42 years later he's a national champion and a world record holder.
He never imagined at the age of 84 this is where he'd be,but then he doesn't meet many people in their 80s who are out training four times a week.
"I can see it's a bit unusual,yes.But it's been my life," he told the reporter.
The retired officer runs at a track near his home in Leeds.
At an event in Italy last month he set a world record in the 80 metres hurdles（跨栏）with a time of under 17 seconds.But he sees no reason to slow down and his ambition（雄心）is still to be competing when he passes a hundred.
"I probably won't be doing a crouch start（蹲式起跑），but it's only 16 years away," he joked.Like anyone his age,he's had health problems.He's had a string of severe heart attacks,but doctors have told him as long as it makes him feel good,he should carry on running.
"I can't let my heart get in the way of my training.When I am sprinting I have to give it my absolute all.My heart is the last thing on my mind. " he said.
He trains every other day,dances and plays hockey and he recently cuts down on alcohol（酒精）and chocolate.He said "I've heard alcohol can lead to dementia and I don't want that.I've cut down to one glass of wine every other day.I now have to stay as fit as I can be to keep up my lifestyle."
Tony's next birthday is next September.And the first thing he wants to do is become the world's fastest 85-year-old.

Our teenagers are lonely.A new study by Harvard's Making Caring Common（MCC）shows just how that feeling has been common and become serious during the past year when we had to keep the social distance.One year's online learning and life in the bedrooms rather than the classrooms or dorm rooms can make teenagers feel lonelier than before.Teenagers have been more likely to be influenced by loneliness than older adults.
Experiencing loneliness is certainly sad,but it is also perilous.Researchers found that 63% of the young were suffering from bad sleep,anxiety,and poor health during the lockdown（活动限制）and that nearly a quarter had started or increased some bad habits,including smoking,drinking and staying up late to deal with their feelings.
About half of the young people in the study,who said they had felt lonely,explained that over the past weeks not one person had taken more than just a few minutes to ask how they had been lately.It made them feel they had no one who really cared about them.Their parents thought they had much free time after lessons and it seemed that they only worried whether their children could perform their schoolwork at the level they once did.They didn't know the problem.
Sian Leah Beilock,the president of Barnard College,explains that young people depend on social media,which makes them especially weak to social media's harms.She also suggests that fewer close friends may explain some of the feelings of loneliness.She reports that in 1985 the average American had three close friends with whom they could share important things about their lives.In 2004，that number had dropped to just two friends.And in 2019，one in five millennials（千禧一代） had no friends at all.
These levels of loneliness are heartbreaking.MCC suggests,as a nation,we first should focus on teaching the young to make meaningful connections between people and support them.
32.What is the finding of MCC'S study？ ______
A. Every teenager has lonely moments.
B. Parent-child communication becomes less.
C. Teenagers care too much about others' opinions.
D. Lockdown lifestyles increase teenagers' loneliness.
33.What does the underlined word "perilous" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？ ______
A. Dangerous. B. Funny. C. Helpful. D. Uncommon.
34.What do the young people's words in the study mean？ ______
A. Their parents misunderstood them.
B. They found their schoolwork heavy.
C. They needed more care and attention.
D. Their online courses made them bored.
35.Which of the following may Sian Leah Beilock agree with？ ______
A. Teenagers are short of outdoor exercise.
B. Teenagers should make more close friends in real life.
C. Teenagers enjoy developing close relationships online.
D. Teenagers should avoid sharing important things online.
