（2024·内蒙古包头·二模）We all want to know what happiness means and try to find ways to help make our life better. Happiness — you know it when you see it, but it’s hard to define. You might call it a sense of well-being, optimism or meaningfulness in life, although those could also be treated separately. 1 we know that we want it, and that is just somehow good.
We also know that we don’t always have control over our happiness. Research suggests that genetics may play a big role in our level of happiness, so some of us may start out at a disadvantage. On top of that, environmental factors can bring down mood and dry up our thirst for living. 2 . Many studies have found a connection between psychological and physical well-being.
A 2022 review of more than 200 studies found a connection between positive psychological features, such as happiness, optimism and life satisfaction, and a lowered risk of heart disease.

4 , and they do not provide hard evidence of cause and effect. But some researchers believe that positive mental states do have a direct effect on the body, perhaps by reducing damaging physical processes. For instance, they found that optimism is associated with lower levels of inflammation (炎症).

A study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal found that people aged 60 and over who said they enjoyed life less were more likely to develop disability over an 8-year period. 5 . This study does not prove that physical problems are caused by less enjoyment of life, but suggests a relationship.

B．It might take more work if your mood is low.
C．For now these studies can only show associations.
D．That refers to the person, and the situation he or she is in.
E．Being able to travel around was also related to enjoyment of life.
F．To manage our emotions is important for both our body and mind.
G．It’s not as simple as “you must be happy to prevent heart attacks”, though.

Laptops use an average of 20 to 50 watts of electricity to run, whereas desktop computers use an average of 60 to 200 watts of electricity to run. The reason for this is that laptops run off of battery power and desktops are continuously plugged into a power source that drains energy.
17 . Not only does this help reduce your energy usage, but it also optimizes your laptop’s battery life to last longer.

Unplug mobile phone and laptop chargers
Always unplug electronics and appliances when not in use. 19 . When the power strip is left on, the devices plugged into it continue to use energy and actually increase your energy usage.

（23-24高三下·甘肃武威·阶段练习）With about 100,000 new cases diagnosed (诊断) annually, skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the US. 36 It’s estimated that over $8 billion is spent annually to fight the disease. Now, scientists may have some help from 14-year-old Heman Bekele. The ninth grader from Annandale, Virginia, has created a cheap bar of soap that could potentially help fight skin cancer. His invention won him the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” at the 3M Young Scientist Challenge on October 10, 2023.
37 However, a bar of soap is just so simple, so affordable, so accessible in comparison to these modern new skin cancer treatments. As an immigrant from Ethiopia at four, he recalls seeing the locals constantly working under the hot sun. Since most skin cancers result from too much exposure to the sun’s rays, Bekele wondered if he could find an affordable way to fight the disease. He came up with the idea of making soap. 38
“I have always been interested in biology and technology, and this challenge gave me the perfect platform to showcase my ideas,” Bekele said.
Shripriya, a ninth grader from California, won the second prize for her invention “EasyBZ”. This sticker-like patch can be used to administer medicine without pills or needles. 39 The seventh grader created a glove that can detect epileptic seizures (癫痫发作) with common hand movements.
40 It invites students from grades 5 through 8 to find a unique solution to an everyday problem. The
three winners will be awarded the title of “America’s Top Young Scientists”. The first place winner receives a $25,000 prize. The second and third place winners each receive a $2,000 prize.
A．Besides, it’s also expensive to treat.
B．The third place was Sarah Wang from Massachusetts.
C．After all, soap can be easily made and used worldwide.
D．It promotes the youth to learn science with interest.
E．People might not have the equipment to treat this disease.

（2024·青海西宁·一模）Picking up after your dog is interesting, but it must be done. Most dog owners understand the importance of picking up their dogs’ waste, so it can be especially frustrating to see dog owners that obviously refuse to perform this duty. 41 , but by asking them the right way, informing them of the risks and consequences of not picking up after their dogs, and providing them with the right collection tools, you may be able to get them to change their ways.

（2024·青海海南·一模）We asked dental professionals to answer five basic questions about how to care for our teeth and keep them healthy. Here’s what they had to say.
How often should I really brush my teeth
46 Brushing helps remove plaque, which is the accumulation of biofilms containing microorganisms stuck to your teeth. By brushing each tooth slightly with your brush at a 45-degree angle, you’ll be able to remove plaque particles.
47
Brush your teeth first in the morning, before eating breakfast. It breaks up the biofilm and gets it ready to re mineralize(使再矿化) your teeth. Immediately after meals, you can rinse or drink water to remove acids and sugars from the mouth.
Do I really need to floss(剔牙)
You may not want to hear it, but the answer is yes. 48 Flossing gets to all the areas where toothbrushes don’t. You can’t do one or the other. Floss before brushing to open up areas you may not be able to clean with just the toothbrush, like in between your teeth.
How do I whiten my teeth
There are all kinds of products and methods to help whiten your teeth. But dental professionals say you should be cautious. 49 Instead, the ideal way to whiten your teeth is to ask your dentist for professional advice.
Do I really have to go to the dentist
While proactive care at home can help keep your teeth healthy, yes—you still have to see a dentist. There are a lot of factors to deal within your dental health—but you don’t have to do it alone. 50
A．You should floss at least once a day.
B．That’s what your dental appointments are for.
C．Do I need to brush my teeth immediately after meals
D．Is there an ideal time of day when I should brush my teeth
E．Don’t use home solutions like brushing teeth with lemon juice.
