6、cal research and even in government policy, with the UK government exploring a “happiness index“. Its tough, though, to define exactly what happiness is, and what makes us happy.There are two broad ways of looking at happiness: short-term happiness ( a great cookie, a bottle of wine) and long-term h
7、appiness (financial security, achieving your goals). Both types of happiness are valid, and important. The problem is, theyre often in competition.Lets say youve got a goal of losing 50 pounds this year. You know youd be happier and healthier if you werent carrying that extra weight. To achieve long
8、-term happiness, you need to go on a diet. In the short-term, though, its not that easy. A chocolate cake, or a large glass of wine, might seem like just the thing to cheer you up at the end of a long dayor to celebrate with friends. Its the same with lots of other goals.If youve got a tendency to p
9、rioritize long-term happiness at the expense of day-to-day pleasures, you should start looking for some small ways to bring a little joy back into your life. Im not suggesting that you go out and get drunk every night, or that you stuff with cake. There are plenty of other ways to enjoy yourself. Do
10、nt pin all your hopes of happiness on some far-off future, though. Theres no point working a 60-hour week and making yourself thoroughly miserable in the belief that things will be prefect as soon as youre making a six-figure salary.（分数：10.00）(1).A proper title for the passage is“_“.（分数：2.00）A.Happy

However, there remains a major problem. The peopl
15、e in need of transplant surgery far outnumber the available organs.Many countries, such as Britain, have huge waiting lists of people whose lives could be saved by being given a kidney, lung, heart, or liver transplant. Sadly, many of them die before they reach the top of those lists.Under the prese
16、nt British policy, people are asked to carry donor (捐赠人) cards, and/or put their names on the national donor register. Thus, if they lose their lives suddenly, for example, in a traffic accident, they have given permission in advance of their deaths for their organs to be used. If they have not done
17、 so, surgeons are faced with the task of asking the grieved relatives for permission to use the organs of the dead. Of course, often the relatives are too upset even to think of such a thing until it is too late. Organ transplants have to take place quite soon after the death of the donor.Dying and
18、donating organs is not something most of us like to think about, and only about 14% of people have registered. Now it has been suggested that, instead of the present register, there should be a register of potential donors who havent made up their minds.（分数：10.00）(1).Nowadays a major problem in tran

24、lternative to table salt. They can be forgiven for thinking so. Sea salt is marketed as a healthy food, added to soups, potato chips and a wide variety of packaged snacks labeled “low sodium“, “all natural“ and “healthy“. But in reality, sea salt and table salt are not terribly different, at least c
25、hemically. The real differences are in how the two are used in cooking.Table salt comes from underground salt deposits. Companies that sell it typically add something to keep it from clumping (结块). During processing, table salt is stripped of many of its natural minerals. Sea salt, on the other hand
26、, is made from evaporated seawater, with little processing, it retains most of its minerals, which some cooks say give it a better flavor.But both contain the same amount of sodium chloride (氯化氢) by weight, which means they contribute equally to total sodium consumption and have the same effect on b
27、lood pressure. Officials recommend that adults consume no more than 2, 300 milligrams of sodium a day, equivalent to a teaspoon of salt. You should eat less if you are black, hypertensive (患高血压 的) or older than 40. Yet most Americans consume more than double the amount they need, mostly from process
28、ed foods, so it is best to limit saltof any kind.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the survey, more than half the people believe that_.（分数：2.00）A.table salt should be used in cookingB.it is necessary to eat sea saltC.sea salt is a high-sodium productD.sea slat is a healthier choice than table salt(2).The d
29、ifference between table salt and sea slat lies in that table salt_.（分数：2.00）A.contains less natural minerals than sea saltB.forms clumps more easily than sea saltC.tastes better than sea saltD.goes through less processing than sea salt(3).The word “strip“ in Par（分数：2.00）A.2 is closest in meaning to“

34、t, the word “curry“ can be found in the English language as far back as 1377.
