16、[1] Compared to people with bad attitudes, people _____ are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being positive helps the body fight illnesses.
[2] In a previous study, people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop coughs and other cold symptoms. People who showed positive feelings were also less likely to mention symptoms to their doctors, even when medical tests detected those symptoms.
[3] Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still possible that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.
[4] Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-esteem and a sense of control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, ultimately decides our chances of catching colds.
[5] To figure out which mattered more, personality or emotions, the researchers interviewed 193 healthy adults. The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the precious fortnight.
[6] Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive.
[7] Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are. For now, it can’t hurt to look on the bright side more often than not!

21、When you study abroad in France, you can expect to be treated the same as your native classmates, whether in a lecture or a discussion class.
While you can study abroad in France and focus on nearly any subject, it’s the students with a passion for the arts, architecture and history that rush to the country in the largest numbers. And that’s no shock, considering that France has been the center of the arts for centuries.
As students of the arts, you will have to make careful use of your time, given all that France has to offer.
--Visit the Louvre to view the works of French artists such as Monet, Matisse and Renoir;
--Read the works of such French literary geniuses as Baudelaire, Proust and Voltaire;
--Listen to the music of Debussy, or more contemporary (当代的) artists like Air and Daft Punk.
France is also a main destination for architecture students, as you will see architecture in nearly every style:
--The Gothic Chateau de Chambord, built in the 1500s;
--Place Dauphine built in 1607 in Baroque style;
--The post—modern housing development, Marne—la—Vallee.
History students will find that France has been where the action is for quite some time. Over the course of the centuries, it has been the stage for the most important developments in the history of mankind, including the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon and the rise of the Fifth Republic under President Charles de Gaulle. It was also the site of the D —Day invasion (诺曼底登陆) of world War II.
As a possible study abroad location, France has a lot to offer, because the combination of educational institutions (教育机构), arts and culture, and national history are second to none.
【1】What can we learn about studying abroad in France from the text?

22、According to a survey, in Washington, DC, only 69 percent of public school students graduate from high school on time. Many factors influence that low rate. One of the most important ones is whether the people around the students expect them to succeed.
So, for the past 40 years,a DC organization has stepped in to give around 10,000 students the support and positive environment they need to thrive. This organization, called Higher Achievement, provides students with a welcoming space, help with class work, and caring teachers. More than 95 percent of students who complete Higher Achievement graduate from high school on time.
Katherine Roboff is the group's executive director in the DC area. She gives several reasons for the group’s success. One is timing. Higher Achievement does not work with students who are already in high school. It works with students in middle school. They start High Achievement at fifth or sixth grade-in the US, that is usually age 11 or 12.
Robolf says research shows that if students are doing well academically in eighth grade---around age 13---they will have a greater chance of graduating from high school and going to college. In other words, what happens in middle school has a huge effect.The years between ages 10 and 13 may affect a student's future more than anything that happens academically in high school.
Roboff explains that students participate in Higher Achievement after school and during the summer,when public schools take a break of about two months.High Achievement students do homework, have community meetings, and work one-on-one with a mentor(导师).
The purpose of the programme is to help them use those after school and summer hours to become better prepared academically and to develop their leadership skills and confidence so that by the time they get into eighth grade they are ready to get into some of the top high school.”
【1】What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A.Higher Achievement works with college students.
B.Many students have doubts about the organization.
C.Higher Achievement has spread throughout the Us.
D.Higher Achievement has helped many high school students.
【2】If students are doing well academically in eighth grade, .
A.they are certain to go to college
B.they are to succeed when they grow up
C.they are more likely to finish high school on time
D.they don't need any help in their studies
【3】What does the underlined word in the second paragraph probably mean?
A.become naughty
B.improve themselves
C.earn more money
D.help others
【4】The last two paragraphs tell us .
A.public schools never offer positive environment
B.Higher Achievement only helps the students in the eighth grade
C.how Higher Achievement helps those students
D.Higher Achievement only helps those who have good skills.
