①Everybody enjoys acts of kindness (善.举). But can you explain why? Some people think kindness is something out of love and care, while others believe it is just a tool to make us more popular. But research shows that being kind can activate (激活) an area of the brain called Striatum. Research also shows that kindness improves people's moods(情绪). But why and how does it happen? Here are a number of different ways.

②Firstly, being kind can make someone smile. If you see yourself smile in a situation, people around may be smiling too, especially for your close friends and family. A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. It can also make ourselves feel good.

③Secondly, being kind starts or develops a social connection with others. Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger. Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself.

④ Thirdly, in another research, even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy. If one person is kind, he or she makes others in the group kind. It also lifts everyone's spirits.

⑤Lastly, the story doesn't end here. Being kind may improve your mood, but research has also shown that if you're in a good mood, you can act much more kindly. This makes it a wonderful two-way relationship, doesn't it?

 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

 We' ve talked about snails(蜗牛) and their slow move. But much of the time snails don't move at all. They' re in their shells - - - sleeping.

 Hot sun will dry out a snail's body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into its shell and closes the opening with a thin cover. Then it goes to sleep. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So whenever it rains, it goes inside its shell house and goes to sleep. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It can take a short sleep. Or it can sleep for days at a time. And it spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep.

 In spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches long, comes out of from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. It can' t see very well. Its eyes, at the ends of the top feelers are very weak. But its sense of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to the new greens. Then the snail's little mouth goes to work.

A snail's mouth is no longer than the point of a pin(针). Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are so small that you can't see them. But they do their work.. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out. And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones.

 Mostly, a snail looks for food at night. But on cloudy days it eats in the daytime. It eats all day long. A snail can go on eating for hours and never feel full.
