When I first heard about geocaching(地理寻宝)，I was skeptical. But the more I thought about it，the more it seemed like an interesting idea. I at least wanted to try it once.

Having familiarized myself with how the game works，I set out in search of my first cache. My trip took me through a series of lively hutong (胡同)，past a number of small temples，and right into the courtyard of a quiet youth hotel. I spent several minutes looking around，but couldn’t find anything. Just before I was about to give up，I spotted a colorful object in the crack of a wall. Could it be the hidden cache?

At that moment a group of backpackers arrived. According to the game’s rules，people who are not in the game must not be allowed to find out about secret caches. So I pretended to make a phone call while waiting for them to leave. When the coast was clear，I grabbed the object. It was the cache! I opened it and pulled out a crumpled (皱的) sheet of paper with several names and celebratory messages written on it. I added my own and replaced the cache in its hiding place，ready for the next geocacher to find.

It may seem like a simple game，but the idea that there are caches hidden all around us is exciting. Once you’re hooked，it’s easy to set yourself the goal of finding every single cache in a neighborhood or even an entire city. The real treasure，however，is not the cache itself，but the places it takes you to.

Hunting for further caches has since introduced me to places which I didn’t even know existed. Some are peaceful parks，while others are forgotten historical sites. A few caches have even been in places I passed regularly without giving them any thought. Now, I feel a much closer connection.

24. What was the author’s initial attitude to geocaching?

A．He thought it interesting.

B．He wanted to try it at once.

C．He showed little interest in it.

D．He found it unsuitable for him.

25. Where did the author find the cache?

A．In a hutong. B．In a temple.

C．In a well. D．In a hotel.

26. When a group of backpackers were approaching，the author ________.

A．pretended to be cleaning the yard

B．made a call to other geocachers

C．didn’t allow them to come in

D．tried to keep the cache secret

27. In what way does the author benefit from geocaching?

A．He’s more familiar with the city.

B．He has found much treasure.

C．He has made more friends.

D．He has mastered hunting.

Which comes first，happiness or money? Are richer people happier? And if so，how do people get much richer? A recent study could tell you the answer.

The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29.Those who were happiest earned an average of $8,000 more than those who were the most depressed.

The researchers，from University College London and the University of Warwick，say that very gloomy teens，no matter how tall or smart they were，earned 10% less than their peers，while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.

Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school，college and the job interview，chiefly because they always feel better about life. It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends，who are often the key to homework help or networking.

A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness. In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women，Alas (the same gene doesn’t appear to have the same effect on men)．And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest.

The big question is: if it is really true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids，is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework? The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades. Studies do show，after all，that more education leads to better-paid jobs，which may give us a deep thought.

“These findings show that the teenagers’ happiness is important to their future success，” one of the report’s authors writes. “But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolw
