time,sensible people have been arguing that governments need to focus less on economic growth andmore on the wellbeing（幸 福）of citizens.Be careful what you wish for.In response to this demand,from 2011 David Cameron instructed the Office for National Statistics to gather dataon peoples self-reported happiness and life satisfaction.Little practical good has come from this so far,but a new reportby George Bangham for the Resolution Foundation is one of the best attempts to make useful sense of the data.Heconcludes:The best prospects for policymakers targeting future increases in national wellbeing lie in raising jobquality,raising incomes,particularly at the lower end,and policies to improve security in the housing market.”The age correlation（相 关）turns out to be certainly linked to politics,despite the fact that no political party canmake a difference to your date of birth.The happiness of pensioners is not just a function of their age,but of policy.Onaverage,70-year-old boomers today are the most affluent retirees in history,often owning their own homes and inreceipt of generous pensions.People of 70 are not going to be as content in 30 or 40 years time if they are unable toretire,dont own their homes and have small incomes.However,there is one respect in which teens and recent retirees are remarkably similar.Compared to other agegroups,they tend to inhabit a sweet spot of having high degrees of freedom.The typical 16-year-old has new freedomswithout ever having had any serious responsibilities.The typical 70-year-old,having experienced a lifetime of work andfamily duties,has a very different kind of freedom,one born from relief.Besides9 it should not surprise us to find that people tend to be happier when they have fewer worries.But this,too,has important political implications.If the government is really interested in raising overall national happiness,it has tomake sure as many citizens as possible feel secure in their health,their housing and their incomes.Different states9records in achieving this is one important reason why Nordic countries repeatedly score highly in international lifesatisfaction surveys and North America underperforms relative to its GDP.Whichever way you look at it,there is no escaping the conclusion that increasing wellbeing across society requiresjoined-up,long-term policy efforts.This is exactly what the Resolution Foundation recommends.1、What can be conveyed from the sentence“the ball is in the governmenfs court”in Paragraph 1?A.The government officials are fond of playing ball games.B.The government determines national happiness.C.The government makes citizens feel happy.D.The government is in a ball game.2、What does the underlined word“affluent in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Responsible.B.Careful.C.Honest.D.Rich.3、According to the author,the secret to happiness is freedom a n d.A.income B.healthC.security D.destiny4、What is the authors attitude to the function of government on national happiness?A.Negative.B.Positive.C.Doubtful.D.Unsatisfactory.22.（8 分）Companies with Kid CEOsMaxine Marcus,The Ambassador CompanyUnlike many young CEOs,17-year-old Maxine Marcus

comment that“When two English meet,their first talk is of weather.”Though Johnsons observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago,most commentators（评 论 员）failto come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.Bill Bryson,for example,concludes that,as the English weather is not at all exciting,the obsession with it canhardly be understood.He argues that”To an outsider;the most striking thing about the English weather is that there isnot very much of it.Simply,the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the BritishIsles.Jeremy Paxman,however,disagrees with Bryson,arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive.Brysonis wrong,he says,because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena（现 象）The interest is less in the phenomena themselves,but in uncertainty.According to him,the weather in England isvery changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English.Bothcommentators,somehow,are missing the point.The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all.English weather-speak is a system of signs,which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve andactually talk to each other.Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data.Rather,they are routine greetings,conversation starters or the blank“fillers”,In other words,English weather-speak isa means of social bonding.1、The author mentions Dr,Johnsons comment to show t h a t.A.most commentators agree with Dr.JohnsonB.Dr.Johnson is famous for his weather observationC.the comment was accurate two hundred years agoD.English conversations usually start with the weather2、What does the underlined word obsession most probably refer to?A.A social trend.B.An emotional state.C.A historical concept.D.An unknown phenomenon.3、According to the passage,Jeremy Paxman believes t h a t.Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weatherB.there is nothing special about the English weatherC.the English weather attracts people to the British IslesD.English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty4、What is the author飞 main purpose of writing the passage?A.To explain what English weather-speak is about.B.To analyze misconceptions about the English weather.C.To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.D.To convince people that the English weather is changeable.24.（8 分）Researchers at the University of York in England published their Hndings on facial recognition that,on average,people can remember as many as 5,000 faces.There have been many studies recently on facial recognition technology.But the authors of this study say theirs isthe first time that scientists have been able to put a number to the abilities of humans to recognize faces.Rob Jenkins,leader of the research,said the researchers5 study centered on the number of faces people actually know.”and were notable to discover whether there is a limit on how many faces the brain can handle.Jenkins said the ability to tell individual people apart is“clearly important.In todays modern world of big cities,we meet and deal with thousands of people.The study suggests our facial recognition abilities help us to deal with themany different faces we see on the screens,as well as those we know.The results of the study give a baseline forcomparing the“facial vocabulary of humans with facial recognition software.Today,facial recognition technology is used in many ways,including by law enforcement agencies to prevent crimeand violence.Governments use it to keep secret areas secure and,in extreme cases,control populations.Somegovernments use the software to watch people and find out where they go and what they do.Even Facebook uses facialrecognition.For example,when you name a friend,Facebook technology may recognize the persons face from adifferent picture you had shared before.For the human study,people spent one hour writing down as many faces from their personal lives as possible.Atfirst,they found it easy to come up with many faces.But by the end of the hour,they found it harder to think of newones.Their change in speed let the researchers estimate when they would have run out of faces completely.1,000 to10,000 faces remembered.People who took part in the study were also shown thousands of photographs of famouspeople.Researchers asked them which ones they recognized.To make sure they knew these people,researchers requiredthem to recognize two different photos of each famous person.The results showed that the participants knew between1,000 and 10,000 faces.How do they explain such a wide range?Jenkins said one explanation may be that some people have a naturalability for remembering faces.“There are differences in how much attention people pay to faces and how well theyprocess the information.Also it could be because of different social environments.Some people may have grown up inmore populated places.So,they may have had more social contact throughout their lives.Researchers think age may be an interesting area for further research.66It would be interesting to see whether thereis a peak age for the number of faces we know”,Jenkins said.He said it is possible that we gather more faces throughoutour lifetime.But,he added,there also may be an age at which we start to find it harder to remember all of those faces.1、What can we learn from the research?A.People can remember up to 5,000 faces averagely.B.People can write down up to 10,000 faces quickly.C.There is a limit to the number of faces a person can remember.D.There is a peak age for the number of faces a person can remember.2、The scientists carried out the research aiming t o.A.be the first to number the faces people can rememberB.help people recognize many different facesC.improve peoples facial vocabularyD.develop facial recognition software3、Facial recognition technology is used by governments t o A.predict and prevent crime B.track and
