Resolutions (决心)are likely to fail. But this January 1，we set out to make lasting changes in our lives. We set up the 30Up Happiness Challenge at the start of the year with one goal in mind: To become more Joyful in 30 days. And it totally paid off.
For the past month，we' ve given our readers simple，daily challenges in hopes that these tiny changes will create a more joyful disposition (性情).Each tip was supported by research which shows that the specific actions improve happiness levels. The tasks ranged from trying adult coloring and practicing gratitude to telling a joke and participating in laughter yoga.
As we discovered，science is no joke. We felt lighter by the end of the month and are storming into February equipped with the right attitude to take on the rest of the year in a more joyful manner.
Did we mess up? Of course. Everyone has days when they' re angered and the last thing they want to do is practice positivity or have a dance party. The key is to march on despite your bad mood， because there' s joy on the other side.
It’s not too late to start your joyful journey. You can find each day’ s challenge on our calendar. Feel free to start whenever you’ d like.

Most Americans eat too much salt，but the U. S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA) recognizes that cajoling people to eat healthily will not have much influence. So，the FDA has set targets for restaurants and food makers to shake some of the salt out of diets.
For years，doctors and public health experts have tried their best to make people aware of the need to reduce their salt intake and reduce the risk of high blood pressure leading to heart attacks， strokes and other health problems. The advice fell on deaf ears as people continued dining on processed foods like bacon，cold cuts and potato chips.
The government is asking restaurants and food makers to voluntarily reduce the salt content in their products with targets for short-term (two years) and longer-term ( over the next 10 years) changes. The FDA estimates that its new “ voluntary salt reduction targets” to shake the salt out of American diets could save about half-a-million lives. It could also reduce health care costs by about $100 billion over a decade.
The government targets are not a flat percentage across the board; they vary by food type. For example，Asian sauces (调味汁)，which are high in salt，have one of the highest target drops，with Hoisin and other similar sauce makers being asked to cut salt by 67 percent. Makers of cream-based sauces like alfredo (白酱意面)are asked to cut salt levels by 54 percent.
This is not a U. S. only problem. The World Health Organization ( WHO) also recommended a similar target as part of a global effort to shake people out of their salt-filled diets. Reportedly，there are 75 countries working to reduce their citizens’ salt intake. Many countries， such as Australia， New Zealand，the United Kingdom，Ireland and Canada，have also made noticeable progress in reducing salt in some products.
32. What does the underlined word “cajoling” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A . Forcing. B. Warning. C. Ordering. D . Persuading.
33. Which of the following foods is requested to cut salt sharply?
A . Asian sauces. B. Alfredo. C. Hoisin. D . Bacon.
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. WHO has taken effective measures to reduce salt intake.
B. The problem of much salt intake has spread to the whole world.
C. Many countries have made great progress in reducing salt in products.
D. Only Asian countries haven' t realized the health risks of much salt intake.
35. What’s the text mainly about?
A. The risks of taking too much salt.
B. FDA targets to remove some salt out of diets.
C. Doctors worry about American people’ s health.
D. The standards for salt content in different diets.
答案解析
(语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。大多数美国人摄人大量的食盐。美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)制定政策的目的是减少食品中盐的含量。
32. D【解析】猜测词义题。美国食品和药物管理局 (FDA)意识到劝说人们吃健康的食品这一做法似乎影响不大。
33. A【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段For example， Asian sauces，which are high in salt， have one of the highest target drops 可知答案。
34. C【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句 Many countries，such as Australia，New Zealand，the United Kingdom，Ireland and Canada， have also made noticeable progress in reducing salt in some products.可知答案。
35. B【解析】主旨大意题。第一段中的So，the FDA has set targets for restaurants and food makers to shake some of the salt out of diets.是本文的中心句，故答案 为B。
