课时规范训练(单独成册) 训练(三十八) Ⅰ.阅读理解 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。 Teenagers at one German school are learning how to achieve happiness alongside subjects like maths and languages. The class sit in a circle with their eyes shut and count from one to ten:one begins,the next voice comes from the far right,a third from the other side.The aim is to listen for an opportunity to shout the number without clashing (冲突) with another voice or leaving a pause.On the first try,most of the young Germans try to be first,while a few are too shy to join in.But by the fifth round,they develop a rhythm. The message:giving other people space but also confidently claiming your own space is a requirement for social wellbeing. While the game suggests a soft course for the less bright,the school says it is trying to make it affect even clever pupils.The Willy Hellpach School is the first in the nation to develop a happiness course,intended for 1719yearolds preparing for universityentrance exams.“The course isn’t there to make you happy,” Ernst FritzSchubert,the school principal,warned the pupils who were taking the course,“but rather to help you discover the ways to become happy.” Cooking a meal together will be one of the class exercises,along with improving body language under the guidance of two professional actresses. |
