This years report also pays special attention to the happiness of each countrys im

12、migrants.The U.S. dropped four spots from xx and landed in 18th place, and last years winner, Norway, came in second place followed by Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.“The top five countries all have almost equally high values for the six factors found to support happiness, and four of these countr

14、 countries was Canada in sixth place, then New Zealand, Sweden and Australia. The order of the top 10 nations changed from the xx list but the countries did not, according to the report. They were also 10 of the 11 top spots in the immigrant happiness category (including Mexico 24th overall, but 10t

15、h in immigration).“The most striking finding of the report is the remarkable consistency between the happiness of immigrants and the locally born,” Helliwell said in a statement. “Although immigrants e from countries with very different levels of happiness, their reported life evaluations resemble t

16、hose of other residents in their new countries. Those who move to happier countries gain, while those who move to less happy countries lose.”Other major world powers placed in significantly low spots on the list. Germany came in 15th, the UK was 19th followed by Japan in 54th place, Russia in 59th a

17、nd China in 86th.The report, based on surveys pleted by citizen volunteers, came just under a week before World Happiness Day on March 20, when the UN declared to recognize “the relevance of happiness and well-being as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world and

23、might have started as part of a physiological function: for example, exposing the teeth to bite food. The function, however, took on meaning and became a form of munication which signals anger.The same may be true for the animals. Baby monkeys cry for attention. They also cry to signal to an adult t

24、hat they want to be carried.“Chimpanzees do make upset voice when they are being weaned (断奶) by their mothers or have lost their mothers or another individual,” says Anne Pusey, a professor at the University of Minnesota. “They whimper and cry and scream. When we hear these calls, the emotion involv

25、ed seems obvious. However, they do not weep in the sense of producing tears. I have seen an adolescent male whimpering when he lost sight of his older brother with whom he had been traveling.”Babies of many mammalian species, including rats, cry. Moreover, when a baby rat cries, often his mother bri

26、ngs the fallen pup back into the nest. This is probably a straightforward munication, as it is with humans. However, psychologists at the University of Iowa arent convinced.The Iowan researchers can cause the same crying sounds by producing large decreases and then increases in blood flow. The blood

27、 flow also goes down when baby rats get cold. Thus, they conclude baby rats cry in the same way that we sneeze. Of course the rat baby could be crying because hes cold and wants his mother to know. “All young mammals make cries when separated from their mother,” says Jaak Panksepp, a psychologist at

28、 Bowling GreenStateUniversity. “If youre willing to call this crying, then certainly other animals show this emotional response.” he says, “Some of us take seriously that animals do have emotions.”26.

They are being breast-fed.D. They are parted from their mother.28. What does the underlined word “whimper” in Paragraph 3 me

30、an?A. whisper B. howl C. sob D. laugh29. Under what circumstance will baby rats cry just like humans sneeze?A. Their blood flow is decreased.B. They feel cold and long for affection.C. Their blood flow is increased.D. Their mother brings them back home.30. Where is the passage most likely taken from

31、? A. An animal journal.B. A physiology book. C. A health magazine.D. A cultural newspaper.CSince App Store was set up, it has been selling consumers one simple thing: choice. Whether you wanted to play games, read the news, or do a thousand other things, there was something for whatever you desired.

32、Then something funny happened. Logging into the App Store today is like going into a shopping mall with only a coupon(优惠券) for one thing: Theres so much choice; it might be easier to give up than to choose.It isnt consumers who are burdened, though. Too much content of all kinds also has economic ef

33、fects. When countless choices are available, it causes pressure, pushing prices down and driving us a bit crazy.So what is the way forward? It may well be to turn less choice itself to the marketing strategy. There are already signs that this is happening. Firstly, content panies are looking to prev

34、ent their offerings from getting lost in the tons of stuff. Most obvious is Disney, which is planning to open its own streaming service next year. The point is to narrow the focus so that those seeking Disney cartoons will have one place to go, rather than being around various services.Yet if that r

35、epresents a careful first step, there are more extreme options too. Consider the idea of a wine club: from tens of thousands of bottles each year, subscribers pay someone to select the most interesting ones. Perhaps what es next for digital content is similar-carefully selected offerings from truste

36、d sources that put choices in the hands of someone else in order to get rid of the anxiety of choosing.Up to now, too much choice in digital media has only one solution: the algorithm（运算法则）. But weve seen the trouble with algorithms on YouTube. They feed you only what youve already said you like, no

37、t things you may not know youre into. Worse, they have a tendency to serve up disturbing content the way forward which cant simply be more or better algorithms.Instead, its time for digital panies to start thinking about how to put limits on things: on how much we can use a device, or what we are av

38、ailable to choose from.As we move further into the digital revolution, what people ask for is clear: Less31. What will too much choice of content on the market result in?A. The shutdown of panies B. The anxiety of consumersC. The poor quality of products D. The slowdown of economy32. Which of the fo

39、llowing statements is TRUE according to Paragraphs 4 and 5?A. Content panies should withdraw their offerings online.B. Content panies should post their offerings on App Store.C. Content panies adopt different methods to narrow the consumers focus.D. Content panies open their own streaming services o

It is focusing on offering various services for those seeking its cartoon.C. It is preventing the streaming service for people seeking its cartoon.D. It is paying someone to

41、 select the most interesting cartoon for the customers.34. How do algorithms probably respond to consumers needs?A. They make a better choice for them. B. They help to remove disturbing content.C. They change their interest in digital media. D. They fail to offer what they possibly like.35. What is

43、ania State University, US. They found that climate played a key role in shaping our noses. The findings were based on an examination of the size and shape of noses of 476 people from four regions-West Africa, East Asia, South Asia and Northern Europe. _37_ With the help of it, the researchers can ge

44、t the results more accurately. “People have thought for a long time the difference in nose shape among humans across the world may have arisen as a result of natural selection because of climate,” Arslan Zaidi, one of the lead authors of the study said. But while previous studies were based on measu

45、rements from human skulls, Zaidi and his team looked at nose shape itself. _38_ They looked at the width of the nostrils (鼻孔), the distance between nostrils, the height, length and angle of the nose, and the size of the nose and the nostrils.The result showed that wider noses are more mon in warm an

46、d humid climates, while narrower noses are more mon in cold and dry climates. _39_ This, in turn, led to a gradual decrease in nose width in populations living far away from the equator.According to Zaidi, now we have only known a little about the relationship between climate and nose shape. _40_ Th
