When I recently revealed to my friends, colleagues, and family members that I would be moving my family to Israel, the reactions were numerous and varied. Some people said it was an expected thing while others asked: Why now? What will you do?
For me, making the move to Israel is the fulfillment of a dream that has lasted for my 47 years of life. I have always known that Israel is my home. Over the years Israel has been in my heart, but I have found a number of reasons to put off making it my permanent residence: kids, the economy, education...you name an excuse, and at some point I have probably used it.
Truthfully, I believe that I was always just a little bit scared. And of course I still am, with the fear factor that is reported by the press surrounding the Israeli military and economy. However, it has come to the point when I have realized that for over 2 000 years we yearned for this land, and for 47 years I have denied the opportunity to make it my home. I am finally ready to fully grasp this opportunity.
Over the years, I have always loved visiting Israel. I have traveled there with my family, and enjoyed introducing thousands of travelers to the country. All of these things that I have come to love about Israel as a tourist are because I get to love my home. And as far as waiting for the “perfect” condition under which to make aliyah, I believe the time is now!
I have been asked many times if I am nervous about moving to Israel. Before I answer, I remember that we have overcome the Greeks, the Romans, the Russian killings, Hitler and the Holocaust(大屠杀), and the armies of seven countries.
How can I not feel confident that I, and my family, will overcome any difficulties that may come our way? I am not worrying, complaining, crying, or fearing as I prepare to make aliyah. I am proud and excited to say that I am fulfilling a 47-year-old dream; I am going home.
24.What does the author want to say in the passage?
A. His dream is to come true after 47 years. B. It is a dilemma for him to return to Israel.
C. He didn’t live a happy life in Israel. D. It is a latest trend to fulfill everyone’s dream.
25.The author didn’t return to Israel before because .
A. his children mainly held him back B. he failed to get determined
C. he didn’t save enough money D. he hoped to finish his education
26.What does the underlined part “make aliyah” mean in the passage?
A. To return to Israel. B. To make a decision.
11
C. To live happily. D. To catch a chance.
27.It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. the author will be happy to meet his relatives in Israel
B. Israel is a familiar word but a strange place for the author
C. the Israeli suffered a lot in the history
D. Israel is still a place between war and chaos
C
Vinegar makes salad, fries and dumplings taste better, and you can even use it to clean your windows. And now, according to scientists, it may even help the planet’s population survive climate change.
Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan found that growing plants in vinegar makes them more resistant to droughts. This could mean that in the future, worries about climate change affecting the world’s supply of food will be much lower. The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It was found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate(醋酸盐)—the main component of vinegar.
After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by adding acetate to the soil of other plants, before they stopped giving them water completely. After leaving the plants for 14 days, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived, while the untreated plants had dried up and died.
It’s hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be used to help farmers in dry countries keep their crops alive. "In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of the world—rice, wheat and maize—and the basic plant of breeding species, rapeseed(油菜籽)," Jong Myong Kim, co-author of the study, told Popular Science magazine.
Kim also told the magazine he’s already been in touch with people all over the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from flower growing companies to amateur gardeners. Although at this point keeping thirsty plants alive isn’t as easy as just pouring vinegar over them, Kim said he and his team are working on making the process as simple as possible. "Now we are trying to cooperate with some farmers, and also some companies, to make a method to apply this system, "he said. And for those of us who always forget to ask our neighbors to water our plants when we go away, hopefully this means the end of returning home from a trip to find our favorite flowers have died.
28.What is the article mainly about?
A. The world’s food supply will be increased. B. Plants better survive droughts.
C. The Arabidopsis is resistant to droughts. D. Vinegar could be used to fight droughts.
29.It was discovered that acetate can .
11
A. be used by farmers to replace soil B. only be produced by the Arabidopsis
C. help plants survive dry conditions D. be used to improve poor soil
30.What are the target plants of the experiment?
A. all breeding species. B. wheat and Arabidopisis.
C. rice and maize. D. rapeseed and Arabidopisis.
31.Jong Myong Kim’s experiment of trying out the method .
A. can make people’s trips pleasant B. turned out a worldwide success
C. is as simple as pouring vinegar over the plants D. appeals to many flower growing companies
D
Life satisfaction is the way persons evaluate their lives and how they feel about their directions and options for the future. It's a measure of well-being and may be evaluated in terms of mood, satisfaction with relations with others and with achieved goals and self-concepts to cope with daily life. It's having a favorable attitude towards one's life as a whole rather than just an evaluation of current feelings. Life satisfaction has been measured in relation to economy, education, experiences, and residence, as well as many other topics.
Life satisfaction can reflect experiences that have influenced a person in, a positive way. These experiences have the ability to motivate people to pursue and reach their goals. As a matter of fact, in these experiences there are two kinds of emotions that may positively influence how people understand their life. Hope and optimism both consist of emotional processes that are usually directed towards the reaching of goals. People who have higher life satisfaction are always full of hope for a better future; additionally, optimism is linked to higher life satisfaction, while pessimism is related to symptoms in depression.
The psychologist, Yuval Palgi, studied the old-old-people who were primarily in their nineties. This subject group was found to have thought highly of their past and present, but they thought lower of their future. A large factor that was talked about in life satisfaction was intelligence. The experiments talk of how life satisfaction grows as people become older because they become wiser and more knowledgeable, so they begin to see that life will be better as they grow older and understand the important things in life more. But when they step into their nineties, future becomes a luxury to them.
According to Seligman, the happier people are, the less they are focused on the negative. Happier people also have a greater tendency to like other people, which promotes a happier environment, which then correlates to a higher level of the persons' satisfaction with their life.
32.What can we learn about life satisfaction from Paragraph 1?
A. It can be easily measured through income and education.
11
B. It includes a positive attitude towards people's entire life.
C. It merely determines people's attitude towards the future.
D. It has nothing to do with the evaluation of current feelings.
33.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage ?
A. The wealthier a person is, the happier he will feel.
B. Happy people are more likely to get along well with others.
C. Happy people won’t be influenced by the negative items in life.
D. Intelligence plays a leading role in determining people’s happiness.
34.What was the attitude of most old-old towards their future?
A. They were less hopeful about it. B. They thought highly of it.
C. They felt satisfied with it. D. They were scared of it.
35.What may be the best title for the text?
A. Old People Have Much More Life Satisfaction
B. Life Satisfaction—the Key to a Happier Life
C. Optimism Ensures Life Satisfaction
D. Emotions Affect Life Satisfaction
