Who cares if money can’t buy you love? But it can still be your best friend forever. That’s one of the surprising findings in a new research paper, “The Power of Money”, published in me journal Psychological Science.
Like any best friend forever, money demonstrated to researchers its ability to soothe us, reduce our sense of social exclusion and even reduce life’s painful moments.
“I was surprised” says Katherine Vohs, one of the researchers and professor at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management. “The findings were surprising because no one had connected the meaning of money to pain. The money wasn’t buying the subjects more friends; it was only psychologically helpful.”
In the research ,students were told they would be participating in a test of finger dexterity(敏捷度). One group was given some paper money to count, while the other group was given blank pieces of paper. Once the counting was complete, all the test subjects were asked to dip their fingers into bowls of water heated to 122 degrees--roughly the temperature of a very hot bath.
Result? Those who had been counting money reported less pain than those who had not. Subjects also were asked about their feelings. Those who handled actual money reported feeling stronger even 10 minutes after they put down the cash.
Combined with previous experiments, the findings confirmed what researchers have long doubted, that money acts as a general panacea(万能药) in the brain, giving us social self-confidence and reducing physical pain without having to spend a dime on aspirin.
But can we get the same effect by using credit cards? “No, credit cards do not have the same effect, ” Vohs says. “They are scary for most people, and they in fact represent debt m many ways.” The findings could have an interesting effect in the business world, where recent trends have been to issue non-monetary rewards and bonuses instead of what was thought of as “cold, hard cash”.
1.The underlined word “soothe” in Paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to“_________” .
A. encourage B. remind
C. calm D. trust
2.What’s Katherine Vohs’s attitude towards the result of the study?
A. He found it totally unexpected.
B. He had no doubt about it.
C. He thought it needed further experiments.
D. He thought it was not convincing.
3.What do we know about the students involved in the study?
A. They were divided into two groups according to their ages.
B. One group was given paper money while the other was given coins.
C. They were holding the money while dipping fingers into hot water.
D. Both groups were asked to dip fingers into hot water.
4.We can 1earn from the passage that_________.
A. the effect of money can only last until we put it down
B. money is both psychologically and socially helpful to us
C. the result of the research hasn’t been confirmed（证实）by experts
D. credit cards have the same effect on us as money
5.The last paragraph suggests that___________.
A. the recent trend in the business world is to give cash as rewards
B. employers should give non-monetary rewards to employees
C. cash is a better way to reward employees than credit cards
D. more and more employees prefer non-monetary rewards to cash

A dog might be man’s best friend, but my dogs are more like my kids! I think everyone should experience the unconditional love of a dog, but owning one is not for the nervousness. It’s work—especially when it comes to the job of cleaning up their waste. When you clean up after your dogs, your neighbors will love you for keeping those smelly landmines out of their yards. But there are even bigger benefits. You’ll not only be doing your part to keep bacteria out of your yard and neighborhood, you’re also keeping harmful microorganisms away from the drinking water supply.
There are more than 77 million pet dogs in the United States and their waste is found in backyards, neighborhood parks, and the green areas that frequently line small waterways. When you don’t clean up after your dog, heavy rain can carry bacteria from the waste into drains. Dog waste left in parks and other such places can be swept directly into nearby streams. This affects the quality of the water in our streams. These small channels often empty directly into our local drinking water supply or the water where we boat or fish.
Dog waste contains harmful microorganisms like roundworms that can be passed onto humans. This is why dog waste should not be used as fertilizer around your home. And it won’t fertilize your yard either if you leave it behind like other types of fertilizer. Dogs don’t eat the same kinds of natural material that cattle, horses or even elephants eat. The waste from those animals is actually beneficial for your yard and garden.
You should always pick up after your dog and throw the waste into the trash can. Some smaller cities might prefer the waste to be washed down the toilet, but in cities where there are many dogs, it’s best to send the waste to the landfill.
When you properly deal with your dog’s waste, you’ll be doing your part to keep harmful bacteria out of your yards, your neighborhoods and your drinking water.
1.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The author’s dog is as lovely as a child.
B. Dog waste can pollute the environment.
C. Owning a dog is a troublesome experience.
D. Dog waste is more harmful than landmines.
2.Which shows the right organization of the passage?
（P1 ＝ Paragraph 1; P2 ＝ Paragraph 2; P3 ＝ Paragraph 3; P4 ＝ Paragraph 4; P5 ＝ Paragraph 5）
3.Which of the following statements about dog waste is true?
A. It makes a kind of natural fertilizer of high quality.
B. The microorganisms in dog waste are helpful to water.
C. It is better to wash dog waste down a toilet or bury it in a landfill.
D. Dog waste is more beneficial to soil than other kinds of animal waste.
4.What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To scold those who ignore their dog’s waste.
B. To introduce ways of cleaning up dog waste.
C. To warn dog owners about the danger of dog waste.
D. To argue it is the duty of the owners to clean up dog waste.

Last month，my younger sister Michelle，four of my friends and I held our first charity art exhibitions．The exhibitions, containing 140 paintings，raised 44，000 yuan，all donated to Stepping Stones，a charity that supports poor children in China．
Ever since l was a little girl, I have been in love with art．I have always been fascinated with the idea of creating beauty and emotion-how imagination can transform a simple piece of paper into something beyond the possibilities of the real world．I watched others create magic by simply moving their hands，and felt thrilled as I gradually learned to do this myself．
Passion results in creation．In nine years，I had accumulated more pieces than I could count．My finished paintings were set aside，gathering dust as time passed．So I decided to hold exhibitions to find a home and some appreciation for my artwork．
Nonetheless，I was extremely nervous．After all，I am only a l5-year-old child who has a passion，but not necessarily one who creates artwork that others want to buy.
However，the turnout was more than I could ever have imagined，and the amount of money we raised quadrupled(四倍于)our original target．We were very lucky to find a charity，Stepping Stone，that would show us exactly how our money would be used：to teach English to poor children in the country．I was even offered an opportunity to teach the children myself．
Through this experience，I not only gained more confidence in my art，but also discovered its impact．I realized a paintbrush could paint not only a canvas，but also new opportunities for others who don’t have as many choices in who they want to be，or what they want to do．Although this cannot transform the world，this may transform the world for one child，or even more．
1.What does “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Moving hands． B．Painting．
C．Changing the world． D．Using imagination．
2.By saying “Passion results in creation”, the author means she
A．decided to visit exhibitions of young artists
B．found a new interest besides painting
C．painted many pieces in nine years
D．created artwork that others want to buy
3.What can you know according to the last two paragraphs?
A．Stepping Stone is an educational organization．
B．Art changed the life of the author and others in a way．
C．Her original donation was expected about 44，000 yuan．
D．The author realized she had an advantage over others．
