Many people think that happiness comes from having enough money or being successful. But a recent study from a university shows something different. The study followed over 1,000 people for ten years. It found that strong relationships with family and friends are the most important for a person‘s long-term happiness.
People who spent more time with loved ones, helped others, and felt connected to their community reported higher levels of happiness and life satisfaction. Even when they faced difficulties, good relationships helped them get through hard times. On the other hand, people who only focused on money or work success often felt lonely and stressed, even if they were rich.
Dr. Lee, the leader of the study, said, “Our brains are wired for connection. Caring for others and feeling cared for brings us real joy. It’s not about how many friends you have, but about the quality of your close relationships.”
The study suggests that we should spend less time on screens and more time talking face-to-face with people. Simple acts like having dinner with family, visiting a friend, or volunteering can greatly increase our happiness.
31. What did the ten-year study find about happiness?
A. Money is the key to happiness. B. Success brings the most happiness.
C. Good relationships are most important for happiness. D. Happiness comes from being alone.
32. According to the study, who might feel lonely and stressed?
A. People who often help others. B. People who have strong family ties.
C. People who only care about money and work. D. People who spend time with friends.
33. What does “Our brains are wired for connection” mean?
A. Our brains need electricity to work. B. Our brains are naturally made to connect with others.
C. Our brains are like computers. D. Our brains dislike social activities.
34. What does Dr. Lee think is more important for friendship?
A. The number of friends. B. The quality of close relationships.
C. How often you meet friends. D. Where your friends live.
35. What does the study suggest we do?
A. Work harder to make more money. B. Spend more time on social media.
C. Have more face-to-face communication. D. Focus only on personal success.

Have you ever heard of “plogging”? It is a new sports trend that started in Sweden. The word “plogging” comes from the Swedish phrase “plocka upp” (pick up) and “jogging” (running slowly). So, plogging means picking up rubbish while you are jogging.
This eco-friendly activity is becoming popular all over the world. People go out for a run with a rubbish bag and gloves. When they see litter on their way, they stop to pick it up. It turns a normal run into a meaningful activity for both health and the environment. A half-hour of plogging can burn about 288 calories, which is more than just jogging, because you keep bending and stretching.
Many plogging groups have formed in cities. They organize plogging events in parks, along rivers, or on beaches. It‘s a great way to meet new friends who care about the environment. “It feels great. You get exercise, clean up your community, and make a difference,” said one plogger.
You don’t have to be a runner to try plogging. You can do it while walking or even hiking. The idea is simple: enjoy your outdoor activity and make the place cleaner at the same time. Why not give it a try this weekend?
36. Where did “plogging” start?
A. In China. B. In Sweden. C. In America. D. In the UK.
37. What do people do when they go plogging?
A. They only run fast. B. They pick up rubbish while running.
C. They collect recyclable bottles for money. D. They plant trees while jogging.
38. Why can plogging burn more calories than normal jogging?
A. Because you run faster. B. Because you run longer distances.
C. Because you keep bending and stretching. D. Because you carry a heavy bag.
39. What is NOT mentioned as a benefit of plogging?
A. Getting exercise. B. Cleaning the community.
C. Making new friends. D. Winning prizes.
40. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To teach people how to jog. B. To introduce a new and meaningful activity.
C. To tell people to recycle more. D. To compare different sports.

参考范文：
Dear Mike,
I‘m glad to know that you are interested in Chinese traditional festivals. My favorite one is the Spring Festival. It usually comes in late January or early February according to the lunar calendar.
Before the festival, people clean their houses and buy new clothes. On New Year’s Eve, families get together for a big dinner. We eat dumplings, which mean good luck. Children get red packets with money inside. During the festival, we visit relatives and friends and wish each other good luck for the new year.
I love the Spring Festival because it‘s a time for family reunion. Everyone is happy and the atmosphere is warm and joyful. I also enjoy the delicious food and the fireworks. I hope you can come to experience it one day!
Yours,
Li Hua
