| Are you happy?Do you remember a time when you were happy?Are you seeking happiness today? Many have sought a variety of sources for their feelings of happiness.Some have put their hearts and efforts into their work.Too many have turned to drugs and alcohol.Meanwhile, untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars, exotic (异国的)vacation homes and other popular "toys". Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact:people are looking for a lasting source of happiness. Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes from many people because they misunderstand the journey of finding it.I have heard many people say that, "I'll be happy when I get my new promotion." or "I'll be happy when I lose that extra 20 pounds." It is dangerous because it accepts that happiness is a "response" to having, being or doing something. In life, we all experience stimulus (激励) and response.Today, some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus, and happiness is a response；a great paying job is a stimulus, and happiness is a response；a loving relationship is a stimulus, and happiness is a response.This belief leaves us the thinking and feeling:"I'll be happy when..." It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true.I believe that happiness is a stimulus and a response is what life brings to those who are truly happy.When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work.When we are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health.Happiness is not a response but a stimulus. Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day of our lives.For unknown reason to me, many choose to be painful, unsuccessful and angry most of the time.Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want-we usually get things we want after we choose to be happy. 1. From the second paragraph, we know too many people________. A. are not happy when they work hard B. are not happy when they drink or take drugs C. are happy when they possess their own expensive cars D. all desire exotic vacation homes 2. Generally speaking, most people feel happy because ________. A. they think happiness is rooted in their deep hearts B. they get what they want to have C. they get a great paying job D. they get an expensive car 3. Which of the following is right according to the author? A. If you want to get what you want, you first choose to be happy. B. We should try to get more and then we'll be happy. C. Most people today are happy. D. Work is a necessary part in our daily life. 4. From the viewpoint of the author, happiness is ________. A. based on our needs B. unconditional C. out of reach D. limited |

| Many Chinese have been greatly shocked by the traffic accident caused by the drunk driver Sun Weiming, who has killed five and injured some others in Chengdu, Sichuan.However, such a case is not rare. Today, traffic accidents may have been regarded as a social problem.The car has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented.Much of the blood on the street flows actually from rude behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless but just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one's actions could bring death or damage to others.A minority of the killers go even far beyond carelessness that can be imagined. Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver.Emotional upsets can change drivers' reactions, slow their judgment, and make them blind to the dangers that might otherwise be evident.The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep his/her emotions under control. Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem isn't only put upon drivers.Street walkers regularly ignore or break traffic regulations.They are blamed in most vehiclewalker accidents, and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road. Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years.Safety standards for vehicles have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through regular road inspections.In addition, speed limits have been lowered.Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased.But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave.The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to make people believe that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration.Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road. 1. Traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because________. A. auto driving has become dangerous and harmful in today's society B. people usually pay no attention to law and morality when driving C. they have caused serious psychological problems among drivers D. the car has killed and disabled more people than any weapon in history 2. Who are NOT mentioned to be responsible for the road accidents in the passage? A. Careless bicycleriders. B. Careless people walking in the street. C. Irresponsible auto drivers. D. Irresponsible auto manufacturers. 3. By discussing solutions to traffic accidents, the author seems to be________. A. doubtful and hopeless B. angry and disappointed C. objective and concerned D. anxious and annoyed 4. The author writes this passage to________. A. show his worries about drunk driving B. help protect street walkers from car accidents C. discuss traffic problems and possible solutions D. warn auto drivers to refuse drunk driving |

| I had this exchange with my 6yearold son last week. Him:Mom, we have to start buying Danimals. Me:Why? Him:So, I can bring it to school for lunch.It's yogurt. Me:Why do you want it so badly? Him:Because Danimals is giving away five fantastic Caribbean vacations. I had to explain that there was little chance that he would win a vacation.It's a strategy used to encourage kids to beg for artificiallycolored (人工着色的) yogurt that costs a lot. Marketing follows my kids-and yours-wherever they go.It comes via TV commercials.Store displays and websites are also constantly selling at our kids.But the most powerful means in kids' lives is the presence of licensed characters on every, product imaginable. Children can begin their day in character clothing.There's even characterthemed wall paint available.A breakfast in a character bowl can be followed by a character toothbrush and character toothpaste (牙膏), character soap and shampoo, and a character wash cloth and towel.Then, they can put on character clothing and character shoes.Check that, character clock on the wall:Is it time for charactershaped fruit snacks yet? Surround kids with enough of the characters and they'll come to believe they need them.Most of us, of course, don't buy all those items.But say no to four products out of five and your home can still get filled with these tiny items encouraging brand loyalty (品牌忠诚). At this time of year, parents buy licensed school supplies.With so much marketing around us, it can be tough to stop the tide. "One thing that helps parents is that they can talk to other parents about this kind of thing, " Linn suggested."If you decide you want to buck this, it helps to find other people who will do the same thing. That way, if your child says, 'Everyone's doing it, 'you can really have a sense of whether everyone is." 1. From the dialogue between the author and the son, we can infer that________. A. the son likes drinking yogurt a lot B. buying Danimals may win a free tour C. the son's school encourages kids to eat yogurt D. Danimals is the most popular yogurt among kids 2. We can learn from the passage that________. A. character bowls increase kids' appetite B. characterthemed wall paint is expensive C. household goods are becoming the target of advertisers D. Linn considered characterthemed products a foolish marketing strategy 3. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Marketing is affecting kids all the time. B. Most kids now don't have a happy childhood. C. Kids like buying licensed school supplies a lot. D. Licensed character products are doing great harm to kids. |
| 任务型读写。 In a memorybased competition between you and a chimp (猩猩)；who do you think would win?If you put yourself on top, you might want to guess again. In a test that challenged participants to remember numbers, a young chimp performed better than Japanese college students. Here's how the test worked.At Kyoto University in Japan, human students and chimpanzee participants sat in front of a computer.Five numbers, ranging from 1 to 9, were combined with one another and then, they appeared at random places on the screen. The numbers stayed on the screen for less than a second.In the first test, for example, participants saw the numbers for 650 milliseconds (about twothirds of a second). Then, each number disappeared and they saw a white square instead.Participants had to touch the squares in numerical order, based on the numbers that had been there a moment before. In this test, the students touched the boxes in the correct order about 80% of the time.A young chimp named Ayumu performed equally well. During a harder test, participants were only able to see the numbers for 210 milliseconds. This time, students only succeeded in putting the boxes in the correct order about 40% of the time. But Ayumu still could select the boxes in the right order nearly 80% of the time. "Some people have what's called a 'photographic memory, ' which allows them to remember a surprising number of details after just a quick glimpse of something.Ayumu's memory might work in a similar way, " says lead researcher Tetsuro Matsusawa. The chimp's young age might have something to do with his impressive performance, too.In previous tests, the Japanese researchers found that young chimps performed better than their mothers. The scientists are interested to see whether Ayumu loses his strong memory as he grows older.They already know that young children sometimes have sharp memories when offered something photographical, but they lose this ability over time.
