        How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin (起源) of language is a
    mystery. All we have really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express
    thoughts and feelings, actions, and the things, so that they would communicate with each other; and that
    later they agree upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined (结合) to represent those sounds,
    and which could be written down. These sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words. The
    power of words, then, lies in their associations (交际)-the things they bring up before our minds. Words
    become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us
    the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean
    something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these
    thoughts in words which appeal (具有感染力) powerfully to our minds and emotions (情感). This charming
    and telling use of words is what we call literary (文字) style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He
    can convey (转达) his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association
    can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or
    they will make our speech silly and vulgar (粗俗的).
    1. According to the writer of the passage, ______.
    [     ]
    A. men, as well as animals, invented certain sounds to express thoughts
    B. the origin of language is a difficult question
    C. words did not have written form at first
    D. words came from sounds
    2. In order not to make our speech silly and vulgar, we should ______.
    [     ]
    A. use words that can move men to tears
    B. choose words with care and accuracy (正确)
    C. become a master of words
    D. use words which sing like music
    3. The best title for this passage would be ______.
    [     ]
    A. The Meaning of Words
    B. The Nature of Words
    C. The Invention of Words

         Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with
    large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why?
    Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on
    the country roads at their free time.
         In fact happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school,
    your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care
    of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you
    do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to
    others, you will feel happy too. All these are your happiness.
         If you notice them you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same as money.
    It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy because you have
    something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are
    very happy because you have more chances to challenge (挑战) yourself. So you cannot always say you are
    poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes life is like a revolving (旋转) door. When it closes it also
    opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
    1. Happiness is for ______.
    [     ]
    A. those who have large and beautiful houses
    B. those who have cars
    C. those who have a lot of money
    D. all people
    2. When you do something wrong, ______.
    [     ]
    A. people around you will help you
    B. you will have no chance to challenge yourself
    C. your classmates will laugh at you
    D. you will be happy
    3. Which is true according to the passage?
    [     ]
    A. When you get success, your friends will be very proud of you.
    B. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.
    C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.
    D. All the above.
    4. Why do we say "Happiness is not the same as money"? Because ______.
    [     ]
    A. money always brings happiness
    B. money doesn't always bring happiness
    C. everything can be bought with money
    D. only rich people have happiness
