Take 200 boys, between the ages of 12 and 16, and research into their background and environment. Then predict their chances for the future. The students, after consulting social statistics, talking to the boys, and compiling much data, concluded that 90 percent of the boys would spend some time in prison. Twentyfive years later another group of graduate students was given the job of testing the prediction. They went back to the same area. Some of the boys--by then men--were still there, a few had died, some had moved away, but they got in touch with 180 of the original 200. They found that only four of the group had ever been sent to prison. Why was it that these men, who had lived in a breeding place of crime, had such a surprisingly good record? The researchers were continually told: "Well, there was a teacher..." They pressed further, and found that in 75 percent of the cases it was the same woman. The researchers went to this teacher, now living in a home for retired teachers. How had she exerted this remarkable influence over that group of children? Could she give them any reason why these boys should have remembered her? "No," she said, "no I really couldn't." And then, thinking back over the years, she said amusingly, more to herself than to her questioners: "I loved those boys." Question: What were a group of graduate students instructed to do? - To research into the living conditions of the poor citizens. - To foretell what the future might have in store for poor kids. - To study 200 boys in the slums between 12 to 16 and predict their future. - To survey the background and environment of 200 teenagers.

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Last year, CCTV journalists approached pedestrians with their cameras, held a microphone to their mouth and asked a simple question, "Are you happy?" The question has caught many interviewees off guard. Even Mo Yan, who just won a Nobel Prize, responded by saying, "I don't know". While the question has become a buzz phrase and the Internet plays host to heated discussions, we ask: What exactly is happiness? And how do you measure it? In the 1776 US Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson set in writing the people's unalienable right to "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness". 235 years on, Wen Jiabao told the nation, "Everything we do is aimed at letting people live more happily." At National People's Congress, officials agreed that increasing happiness would be a top target for the 12th five-year plan. US psychologist Ed Diener, author of Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth, describes happiness as " a combination of life satisfaction and having more positive than negative emotions", according to US broadcasting network PBS. This may sound straightforward enough, but it still doesn't explain what determines people's happiness. Many argue that happiness is _ and that there is no single source. It also means different things to different people. For some, happiness can be as simple as having enough cash. Researchers believe happiness can be separated into two types: daily experiences of hedonic well-being; and evaluative well-being, the way people think about their lives as a whole. The former refers to the quality of living, whereas the latter is about overall happiness, including life goals and achievements. Happiness can cross both dimensions. Li Jun, a psychologist and mental therapy practitioner at a Beijing clinic, says, "Happiness can mean both the most basic human satisfaction or the highest level of spiritual pursuit. It's a simple yet profound topic." Chen Shangyuan, 21, a junior English major at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, said his idea of... Question: According to the passage, the writer may most likely agree that _ . - CCTV journalists are concerned about people's happiness out of sympathy - the question has led to heated discussions about who are the happiest people in China - Bhutan's new index shows that people there are the happiest in the world - it is not easy for us to decide what determines people's happiness

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: It is growing dark as Daniel and I walk along the path. "I would be afraid to be out at this time in London," he says. "I would be frightened of being attacked." I am spending the day with 16-year-old Daniel and six other pupils from Burlington Danes School on a farm in Bath. Most of them have never been in the countryside, and have spent the past week feeding cows and going for long winter walks. They are here on Jamie's Farm. Started by Feilden, it aims to give inner-city children the experience of rural life. The children, many of whom have been in gangs or in trouble with the police, stay for a week in the Feildens' family home. According to Feilden, not a single item has been lost, stolen or broken in the farm. As his mother says, "I think the beauty here helps them." Or as 16-year-old Daniel says, "I like to be here. It smells all fresh." The pupils rise early to feed the cows, ping, chickens and horses, before eating a cooked breakfast. Following this comes more farm work, lunch, more work, a long walk, supper and finally bed. They love it. "It is great not having a phone," explains one. "I focus so much better." Many speak of how the diet has changed their mood and others of how much they like feeding the animals. The idea for the farm came when Feilden was working as a teacher in a "challenging" Croydon school. Most of the pupils had never been beyond the town, let alone into the countryside. Feilden felt farming could help. "It gave the pupils something to do besides fighting." It is, of course, not a _ -- a troubled child will still be a troubled child -- but Feilden says it still worthwhile. "If all we achieve is to show them the beauty of the countryside, then I think we've achieved a lot." Question: According to Feilden's mother, the children didn't cause any trouble while staying in the farm because _ . - it smells fresh on the farm - they focus much better without having their phones - they have other things to do besides fighting - the beauty of the farm changes them
the beauty of the farm changes them
