以下是2016年英语二新题型真题及答案：
Directions：
Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the
most suitable subheading from the list A－G for each of the numbered paragraphs（41－45）．There are two extra
subheadings which you do not need to use．Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET．
[A]Be silly
[B]Have fun
[C]Express your emotions
[D]Don't overthink it
[E]Be easily pleased
[F]Notice things
[G]Ask for help
As adults，it seems that we are constantly pursuing happiness，often with mixed results．Yet children appear to have
it down to an art－and for the most part they don't need self－help books or therapy．instead，they look after their
wellbeing instinctively，and usually more effectively than we do as grownups．Perhaps it's time to learn a
few lessons from them．
41．_______C
What does a child do when he's sad?He cries．When he's angry?He shouts．Scared?Probably a bit of both．As we grow up，we learn to control our
emotions so they are manageable and don't dictate our behaviours，which is in many ways a good
thing．But too
often we take this process too far and end up suppressing emotions，especially negative ones．that's about as effective as
brushing dirt under a carpet and can even make us ill．What we need to do is find a
way to acknowledge and express what we feel appropriately，and then－again．like children－move．
42．______E
A couple of Christmases ago，my youngest stepdaughter，who was nine years old at the time ，got a Superman T－shirt for Christmas．It cost less than a fiver but
she was overjoyed，and couldn't stop talking about it．Too often we believe that a
new job，bigger house or better car will be the magic silver bullet that
will allow us to finally be content，but the reality is these things have very little lasting impact on
our happiness levels．instead，being grateful for small things every day is a much better way to
improve wellbeing．
43．_________A
Have you ever noticed how much children laugh?If we adults could
indulge in a bit of silliness and giggling，we would reduce the stress hormones in our bodies increase good
hormones like endorphins，improve blood flow to our hearts and even have a greater chance of
fighting off enfection．All of which，of course，have a positive effect on happiness levels．
44．________B
The problem with being a grown up is that there's an awful lot of
serious stuff to deal with－work，mortgage payments，figuring out what to cook for dinner．But as adults we also have
the luxury of being able to control our own diaries and it's important that we
schedule in time to enjoy the things we love．Those things might be social，sporting，creative or completely random（dancing aroud the living room，anyone?）－－it doesn't matter，so long as they're enjoyable， and not likely to have negative side effects，such as drinking too much
alcohol or going on a wild spending spree if you're on a tight budget．
45．________D
Having said all of the above，it's important to add that we shouldn't try too hard to be happy．Scientists tell us this can
backfire and actually have a negative impact on our wellbeing． As the Chinese philosopher
Chuang Tzu is reported to have said："Happiness is the absence of striving for happiness．"And in that，once more，we need to look to the
example of our children，to whom happiness is not a goal but a natural by product of the
way they live．
