9、阅读下面材料,从方框中所给的A—E五个选项中选出最佳选项(其中有一项是多余选项),并回答问题。
Experiencing joy not only makes you feel good, it can also help you in other ways that you might not expect.
What is joy?
Some people think joy and happiness are the same thing but they' re actually a little bit different. They are both positive emotions. It often comes from within yourself, lasts longer than happiness and stays with you, no matter what you are doing.
Expert Chris Howard explains that finding joy is really important, "Firstly, finding a thing you enjoy can tell us about who we are as a person, what we like. It can also help us find people who like doing the same thing as you and you can make friends." Feeling joy has also been shown to help lower stress, build your confidence and help you learn better.
Go for it
Working out what you like is not always easy. "Being brave to try something new will help you to be more confident, it will tell you something about who you are and show others too." says Howard. The most important thing is that if a hobby or activity brings you joy, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
A. Why it's important to find joy?
B. But joy is a deeper emotion than happiness.
C. It's necessary to find a friend who makes you happy.
D. What exactly is joy and how can you get more of it into your life?
E. One way you can find joy is through discovering hobbies and activities that you enjoy.
What should you do if a hobby brings you joy but others don't like it?(Answer in no more than 15 words.)

Can you imagine that you could design and 3-D print your own house one day? Do you think it possible to print nests(巢;筑巢)for birds? Actually, some seabirds in California will soon nest in homes created by 3-D printers! These clay nests will help protect the birds when they lay their eggs. They will also protect the chicks, or young baby birds.
Conservationists(自然资源保护者)have become more and more worried about the population of many seabirds. There seem to be fewer birds, including the ashy storm-petrel(灰 海燕). These birds live along the coasts of California, spending winters at sea and summers on coastal islands. They make their nests in holes in the rocks, or in small cracks along the rocky shore(岸). And they like to use the same nest every year. Over time, predators(捕食者)such as ravens, owls have reduced the population of ashy storm-petrels. Oil spills caused by people can harm the birds, too.
Conservationists decided to help the birds by creating safer nests using clay. Clay is a good choice because it is a natural material that will last almost the whole lifetime of an ashy storm-petrel. The most important is that these clay nests are like the birds' real ones.
Why create clay nests using 3-D printers? Because there are hundreds of birds that need nests! The 3-D printers can make the nests faster than a person doing it by hand, and 3-D printers can print the same designs many times. The people working on these printed homes hope that many other groups will also print them to help provide homes for seabirds in danger. Maybe one day you or your class can print a cl ay home for a special bird!
