Getting kids to share their toys is a never-ending battle, and forcing them to do so never seems to help. New research suggests that allowing children to make a choice to sacrifice their own toys in order to share with someone else makes them share more in the future. The new findings are published in Psychological Science.
These experiments were conducted by psychological scientists, Nadia Chernyak and Tamar Kushnir of Cornell University. They found that sharing things with others when they are given a difficult choice leads children to think of themselves as people who like to share. It also makes them more likely to act in a pro-social （親社會(huì)的）manner in the future.
Previous research has explained why rewarding children for sharing can backfire. Children come to think of themselves as people who don't like to share since they had to be rewarded for doing so. Because they don't view themselves as "sharers", they are less likely to share in the future.
Chernyak and Kushnir were interested in finding out whether freely chosen sacrifice might have the opposite effect on kids' willingness to share. To test this, the researchers introduced five-year-old children to Doggie, a sad puppet. Some of the children were given a difficult choice: Share a precious sticker（貼紙） with Doggie, or keep it for themselves. Other children were given an easy choice between sharing and putting the sticker away, while children in a third group were required by the researcher to share.
Later on, all the children were introduced to Ellie, another sad puppet. They were given the option of how many stickers to share (up to three). The kids who earlier made the difficult choice to help Doggie shared more stickers with Ellie. The children who were initially faced with an easy choice or who were required to give their sticker to Doggie, on the other hand, shared fewer stickers with Ellie. Therefore, children did not benefit from simply giving something up, but rather from willingly choosing to give something up of value.
“You might imagine that making difficult, costly choices is demanding for young children or even that once children share, they don’t feel the need to do so again,” Chernyak says. “But this wasn't the case: once children made a difficult decision to give up something for someone else, they were more generous, not less, later on.” Chernyak concludes.
1._______ helps children to share more in the future.
A. Rewarding children for sharing
B. Forcing children to share
C. Allowing children to share precious things willingly
D. Allowing children to share what they don’t need
2.The underlined word “backfire” means _______.
A. have an opposite effect B. serve as a push
C. cause anger D. avoid taking things back
3.Those who were required to share give fewer stickers to Ellie because _______.
A. they regret what they did B. it’s not their own choice
C. Ellie is not as sad as Doggie D. they like to share with a real person
4.We can conclude from the passage that _______.
A. parents will never find a way to get children to share toys
B. a gift should be given to make up for children’s sacrifice
C. children pretend to be generous when they are being observed
D. making difficult choices may influence sharing behavior

Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly boost happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found on Thursday.
Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably happier when they spent money on others—even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.
“We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn,” said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia. They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness, report their annual (yearly) income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, girls for others and donations to charity.
“Regardless of how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not,” Dunn said in a statement.
Dunn’s team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing bonus of between $3,000 and $8,000. “Employees who devoted more of their bonus to pro-social spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.
They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.
“These findings suggest that very minor alterations (changes) in spending allocations (shares)—as little as $5—may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day，”Dunn said.
1. What is the general idea of the passage?
A. The more you earn, the greater happiness you will get.
B. Spending more money on yourself will make you happier.
C. Money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else.
D. You can spend only 5$ a day to get happiness.
2.The underlined word “boost” in the first paragraph probably means_______.
A. help to find B. help to bring C. help to increase D. help to get
3.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Those who spend more money on others can get much more bonus.
B. People usually think spending money on themselves will make them happier.
C. Very small changes in spending your money may be enough to gain happiness.
D. Researchers think that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn.
4.It can be inferred from the 6th paragraph that ______.
A. the volunteers not given 5$ or 20$ spent their own money on themselves.
B. those who spent the money on someone or something else felt happier about it.
C. the volunteers were given 5$ or 20$ as a reward for the experiment.
D. half of the volunteers could spend the money as they liked.

It's common for kids of all ages to experience school anxiety - school-related stress．This is often most apparent at the end of summer when school is about to start again, but it can occur year-round．Where does the stress and anxiety come from?
Teachers
A good experience with a caring teacher can cause a lasting impression on a child's life—so can a bad experience．While most teachers do their best to provide students with a positive educational experience, some students are better suited for certain teaching styles and classroom types than others．If there's a mismatch （不協(xié)調(diào)） between student and teacher, a child can form lasting negative feelings about school or his own abilities．
Friends
Friends can also be a source of stress．Concerns about not having enough friends, not being in the same class as friends, not being able to keep up with friends in one particular area or another, and interpersonal conflicts are a few of the very common ways kids can be stressed by their social lives at school．Dealing with these issues alone can cause anxiety in even the most confident kids．
Bullies （欺凌弱小者）
Things have changed in the world of bullies since I was a kid．The good news is that
teachers and parents are paying more attention．Many schools now have anti-bullying pro-
grams and policies．Though bullying does still happen, help is generally more easily accessible
than before．
The bad news is that bullying has gone high-tech．Many students use the Internet, cell phones and other media devices to bully other students, and this type of bullying often gets very aggressive．One reason is that bullies can be anonymous （匿名的） and enlist other bullies to make their targets miserable．Another reason is that they don't have to face their targets． So it's easier to get rid of any empathy that they may otherwise feel．There are ways to fight against "cyber-bullying", but many parents aren't aware of them - and many bullied kids feel too overwhelmed to deal with the situation．

NEW YORK—Microsoft on Monday made another effort to challenge Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android in the exploding smartphone market—launching a wireless operating system，Windows Phone 7.
Consumers will consider it“always delightful and thoroughly mine，”Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said at a launch event. Ballmer said last year that Microsoft had“screwed up”with its Windows Mobile operating system.For example，it failed to keep up with touch-screen innovations that make iPhones and Android phones easy to use.
Microsoft fell from third to fourth place in market share this year，behind BlackBerry，iPhone and Android. Only 10.8% of smartphone owners used Microsoft’s system in August，down from 18% last December.
But Windows Phone 7 is“a total departure from anything they’ve done”.Microsoft says it sought to simplify common activities. For example，you can instantly take a picture with a phone’s camera by pushing a button on the device. You don’t have to first awaken it from its sleep mode and launch the camera application. You also can program the phones to automatically upload photos to Facebook or other social network sites in a couple of seconds. Users can easily work with Microsoft Office contact and calendar information as well as documents created in Microsoft’s Word，Excel and PowerPoint.
The phones will not show videos built on Adobe’s Flash platform，widely used by services including YouTube and Hulu.
AT&T will offer the first Windows Phone 7 smartphone，the Samsung Focus，on Nov.8.Soon after，it will have the LG Quantum and HTC Surround. Each will cost S| 199.99 with a two-year service contract. T-Mobile will have two Windows Phone 7 models out for the holiday shopping season：the HTC HD7 and Dell Venue Pro. It did not say how much they’ll cost.
1.What is the main idea of paragraph 4？
|
A．Why Microsoft fell behind others. |
|
B．How to use Windows Phone7. |
|
C．Advantages of Windows phone7. |
|
D．Speed of Windows phone7. |
2.What does the underlined phrase“screwed up”in the 2nd paragraph probably mean？
|
A．To make a bad mistake. |
B．To make big progress. |
|
C．To achieve main goals. |
D．To keep up with others. |
3.Which of the following phones will NOT use Windows Phone 7 operating system？
|
A．Quantum. |
B．Surround. |
C．Android. |
D．Focus. |
4.Why did Microsoft see a drop in market share last year？
|
A．Because its operating system didn’t catch up with changes. |
|
B．Because its phones can’t show videos from YouTube. |
|
C．Because it was inconvenient to take photos using its phones. |
|
D．Because its system was based only on Microsoft soft wares. |
5.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？
|
A．Smartphone Market Welcomes New Giant |
|
B．Microsoft to Fight Back on Smartphone |
|
C．Mobile Phones Getting Smarter and Easier |
|
D．Microsoft Proved a Failure in Smartphone |

WASHINGTON — Money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else, according to researchers.
Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly boost happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found on Thursday.
Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably happier when they spent money on others --- even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.
“We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn,” said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia.

“Employees who devoted more of their bonus to pro-social spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself,” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.
“Finally, participants who were randomly (隨機(jī)地) required to spend money on others experienced greater happiness than those required to spend money on themselves,” they said.
They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.
“These findings suggest that very minor adjustment in spending allocations (分配) --- as little as $5 --- may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day,” Dunn said.
This could also explain why people are no happier even though US society is richer.
“Indeed, although real incomes have increased dramatically in recent decades, happiness levels have remained largely flat within developed countries across time,” they wrote.
1.
Dune’s experiment on 630 Americans was to ________.
A. help people make careful plans for their money B. encourage people to be generous to others
C. see how to spend money is important to happiness D. test whether $5 is enough to buy happiness
2.
What can we conclude according to the experiment?
A. Happiness largely depends on the size of your bonus money.
B. Happiness, as a matter of fact, has nothing to do with money.
C. The more money you give away, the happier person you will be.
D. Spending money for the good of society will make you happier.
3.
How many different ways are used by the researchers to test their theory?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
4.
The last sentence of the passage means _______.
A. happiness does not necessary increase as money grows
B. people in richer countries actually have more problems
C. fast economic growth has a bad effect on people’s life
