How's your happiness quotient (指数) ? Science tells us that if you want to increase your "happiness quotient" every day, it's important to take time and accept the present blessings (恩赐) in your life.

I wanted to share a moment of feeling about some of my blessings and what's in my life to be grateful for as Thanksgiving approaches.

One of our family traditions at our Thanksgiving meal is to go around the table and to let each one share something we're especially thankful for.

I'm going to recite lots of things, including that I'm grateful for my health, my loving husband, and the wonderful relationship we share. My husband joins me for 3-mile walk to start our day. The exercise habit keeps our moods in check and the ups and downs of life easier to manage. We talk as we walk, sharing ideas, worries and good feelings too. Sometimes we argue a little until we figure out what to do. We always come up with something. What a blessing that is!

It is so much to be grateful for. I feel I am the luckiest woman alive. It's my wish for you that you'll be able to spot something in your life. I hope yet you will savor (体味) and appreciate it.

Many of us spend the holiday with our aging parents or other loved ones. In my work at AgthgParents. com, we just reminded everyone that you never know if there will be another Thanksgiving with these loved ones. We can't take the day for granted. Just be in the moment. We suggest that you verbally give thanks to your parents, no matter what conditions your aging parents may be in now. Do what you can to be tuned in to what you need as well as what your family needs.

1.What’s the best title for the text?

A. Why I'm so lucky? B. How I spend my Thanksgiving Day?

C. How to increase happiness quotient? D. What is happiness quotient?

2.The underlined word "spot" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by "__________".

A. create B. discover C. do D. affect

3.From the author's experiences we can infer that __________.

A. she lives a happy life B. she should thank everyone

C. she had an unfortunate life D. she likes staying with the old

Science has told us too much about the moon that it is fairly easy to imagine what it would be like to get there. It is certainly not a friendly place. Since there is no air or water, there can be no life of any kind. There is not much variety of scenery either. For mile after mile there are only flat plains of dust with mountains around them. Above, the sun and stars shine in the black sky. If you step out of the mountain shadow, it means moving from the severe cold into intense (强烈的) heat. These extreme temperatures continually break rocks away from the surface of the mountains. The moon is also a very silent world, for sound waves can only travel through air. But beyond the broken horizon, you see a friendly sight. Our earth is shining more brightly than the stars. From this distance, it looks like an immense (巨大的) blue, green and brown ball.

1.The moon is an unfriendly place because ________.

A. there is no air, no water, no life, no scenery       B. the sun and stars shine in the sky

C. temperature breaks rock away                         D. all of the above

2.Without ________, the moon is a silent world.

A. man              B. air              C. sound                    D. water

3.According to the passage we know that ________.

A. the earth looks like a colored ball

B. we can enjoy the scenery on the moon

C. every inch of the moon is very hot

D. the extreme temperature breaks rocks away from the surface of mountains

4.We can conclude（断定） that “continually” means ________.

A. sometimes            B. always               C. without break        D. frequently

5.The best title for the passage is ________.

A. An Unfriendly and Friendly Place             B. The Geography of the Moon

C. Moon, a Silent World                         D. The Moon

Our spiritual intelligence quotient（精神智商）,or SQ, helps us understand ourselves, and live fuller, happier lives.

Though we're all born with SQ, most of us don't even realize that we have it. Fortunately, you don't have to sign up for classes to learn how to improve your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding.

Sit Quietly. The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins with solitude（独处）and silence. To tune in to your spirit, you have to turn down the volume（强度）in your busy, noisy, complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all. Start small by creating islands for silence in your day. In the car, instead of listening to the music, use the time to think. At work, shut the door to your office between meetings, take a few breaths and let them out very, very slowly. Enjoy the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed.

Step Outside. For many people, nature sets their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. If you are walking with the dog, take the time to admire flowers in bloom; follow the flight of a bird and watch clouds float overhead.

Ask Questions of Yourself. Ask open-ended questions, such as "What am I Feeling? What are my choices? Where am I heading?"

But don't expect an answer to arrive through some supernatural forms of e-mail. “Rarely do I get an immediate answer to my question,” says Reverend Joan Carter, a Presbyterian minister in Sausalito, California. “But later that day I suddenly find myself thinking about a problem in a perspective（角度） I never considered before.”

Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut（本能的）feeling to realize danger, spiritual intelligence pushes us, not away from, but towards some action that will lead to a greater good.

1.The passage is mainly about______.

A. what your SQ is and in what way it can benefit our life

B. what your SQ is and in what way it can be improved

C. the relationship between your SQ and your life

D. advantages and disadvantages of SQ

2.The underlined phrase "to tune in to your spirit" in the third paragraph probably

means to_________

A. get your spirit relaxed                  B. keep up your spirit

C. keep seated quietly                  D. change your spirit

3.From the passage, we can know that the most important thing to improve your SQ is______

A. a peaceful mind                      B. deep thought

C. spare time and hobbies               D. good spirits

4.According to the passage, which of the following is True?

A. Not everyone has SQ.

B. You have to go to classes to learn how to improve your SQ.

C. SQ leads us to take wrong actions.

D. SQ can benefit our life.
