17、irst, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Lets start with the wind blowing from behind. This means the wind and the boat a

18、re going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90 angle to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should

19、 be at a 45 angle to the boat. Itneeds to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldnt flap (摆动). It shouldnt look like a flag on a flagpole.

23、ntertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus.And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was

24、 unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct, and zoos have definitely evolved.When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo.

25、The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors. Eachcage had a sign which listed the animals name and where it came from. But, back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced. A

26、s a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common and understandable complaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer?Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But you may protest they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and

27、killed, free to die of hunger or thirst?

These days every zoo requires BIAZAs approval to operate, and the ass

28、ociation sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programmes, both in the UKand abroad.

Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself?28. The passage is mainly about _.A. how zoos have improvedB.

33、 animals.DAre you feeling blue? An American study suggests that being surrounded by happy friends andneighbors could have more of an effect on your happiness than money. That is the finding of researchersfrom Harvard University and the University of California at San Diego.Nicholas Christakis and Ja

34、mes Fowler studied the emotional health of more than four thousand seven hundred people. They used information from the Framingham Heart Study. That study began sixty yearsago in the American community of Framingham, Massachusetts. It was started to learn more about therisks of heart attack and stro

35、ke. For the new study, the researchers examined the emotions of the menand women in the Framingham Heart Study. The information was gathered from 1983 to 2003.The researchers found that friends of happy people had a greater chance of being happy themselves.That means that happiness spreads, or has a

36、contagiouseffect, among people. And, the smaller thephysical distance between friends, the larger the effect they had on each others happiness. For example,a person was twenty percent more likely to feel happy if his/her friend living within one and a halfkilometers was also happy. Having a happy ne

The effects of friendshappiness lasted for up to a year.Another finding was that people who worked together or were married did not have as much oftheeffect on happiness levels as friends did.

39、ts could be disputed(争议) unless a separate studyshowed similar findings.32. What does this text mainly tell us?A. How to live a happy life? B. Ones happiness influences others.C.
