　　Part Two Reading Comprehension

　　Directions:

　　In this part there are three passages and one chart ，each followed by jive questions

　　or unfinished statements. For each of them， there are four choices marked A， B， C and

　　D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single

　　line through the center.

　　Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:

　　Ever won the lottery? No? But did that stop you buying another lottery ticket? If the answer is another “no"， you might call yourself an optimist.

　　According to researchers at University College London， human beings are sanguine creatures. It is all in the brain， they say. A study suggests that human brain is very efficient at processing good news: about 80% of people have a tendency to see the glass as half-full， not half-empty， even if they don't consider themselves to be optimists.

　　The good news is that this brings a health benefit , Having a positive outlook on life reduces anxiety. A study of nearly 100，000 women showed a lower risk of death from heart disease among optimists.

　　But there are problems in always having an optimistic attitude. The authors of the study point out that the 2008 financial crisis may have been caused by analysts overestimating their assets' performance even in the face of clear evidence to the contrary.

　　There are personal health risks too. Dr Tali Sharot， lead researcher，said: '''Smoking Kills' messages don't work since people think their chances of cancer are low. There's a very fundamental tendency in the brain."

　　But， as they say， every cloud has a silver lining. Even if seeing the world through rose-colored glasses poses a risk to our health， it's not something that is likely to cause us to lose sleep. Let's just keep our chins up and keep smiling!

　　11. What does “sanguine” (para.2) mean ?

　　A .Depressed B Cheerful C. Lucky D. Emotional

　　12. The study mentioned in Paragraph 2 indicates that people______.

　　A. are more optimistic than they believe

　　B. are less optimistic than they believe

　　C. like good news more than they think

　　D. like good news less than they think

　　13 .What study mentioned in Paragraph 2 indicates that people _____.

　　A. Collecting false information

　　B. OveremJ1hasizing evidence.

　　C. Misjudging the situation.

　　D. Giving a pessimistic forecast.

　　14. The author suggests in the last paragraph that we______

　　A. adjust our goals in life

　　B. learn to release bad mood

　　C. avoid being overoptimistic

　　D. maintain a positive attitude

　　15 .what is the main of the passage ?

　　A. People tend to be optimistic even in crisis.

　　B. Optimists enjoy life better than pessimists.

　　C. Being optimistic has both benefits and risks.

　　D. Optimism is what keeps us going forward.

Some questions were factual: What programming languages are you familiar with? What internet mailing lists are you on?

　　Other questions， however， tried to establish personality and behavioural characteristics: Have you ever tutored another person?
