Most people want themselves to be happy for ever, but few know how to find happiness. Others say if you own lots of money and success, you will be happy. However, money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. A famous Greek thinker, Aristotle, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” That’s to say, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier. The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future. For example, getting into college or getting a good job, which we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives. Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities. Finally, many people find happiness is helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping or help out with some things around the house for an elderly person. If you do above, you will be happy. 56. How many suggestions of happiness are mentioned in this passage? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 57. If you want to enjoy the simple things in life, you can ________. A. listen to your favorite music B. remember some problems C. think about getting into college D. read a bad book 58. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Money and success alone do not bring you lasting happiness. B. If you want to feel happier, you can go shopping for an elderly person. C. Spending enough time thinking about the future can enjoy the present. D. Active person may live a happier life than inactive person. 59. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage? A. Reading a good book. B. Travelling to a foreign country. C. Playing a sport. D. Spending time with close friends. 60. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. How to live a happy life. B. How to depend on ourselves. C. How to help the old people. D. How to get a good job. B Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy making money for my schooling. One day, my mother was sewing a quilt(缝被子). I silently sat beside her. “Mum, is there love between you and Dad?” I asked in a very low voice. With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. Then she said, “Susan, look at this thread(线). It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there. It makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside. ” I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple. After two months, my father still couldn't walk by himself. “Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day. “Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said. “I just like walking with your mum. I like this kind of life. ” Reading his eyes, I knew he loves my mother deeply. Now I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm 61. Why are Susan’s parents busy trying to make money? A. To send Susan to school. B. To go to see the doctor. C. To buy a strong quilt. D. To show their love. 62.

A. while her mother was sewing a quilt B. before her father was in hospital C. when she was sitting beside her mother D. after her father was seriously sick 64. What can we know from the passage? A . Susan’s father is very lazy. B. Susan’s mother is a nurse. C. Susan’s parents love each other. D. Susan doesn’t like her father. 65. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. How to make a quilt strong B. Love is just a thread C. Walking on the country road D. A seriously sick father C You either have it, or you don’t―a sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map while others can lose themselves in the next street? Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory(理论) is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it. “Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, research director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.” Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions: l If you are using a map, turn it to the way you are facing. l If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree―something easy to recognize(辩认). Note landmarks(地标) on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route. l The simple way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or wells in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tall buildings or hills which can help to find out where you are. Now you will never get lost again! 66. Children have the ability to find the way around when they are ______ years old. A. 5 B. 6 C. 7 D. 8 67. Which of the following things cannot be used as landmarks? A. Tall buildings. B. Hills. C. Wells. D. Bikes. 68. What does the underlined word “emphasize” mean in the passage? A. To give special importance to something. B. To express thanks for somebody. C. To understand or realize a fact. D. To admire somebody. 69. Scientists believe that __________. A. some babies are born with a sense of direction B. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older C. people never lose their sense of direction D. everybody has a sense of direction from birth 70. What may be the best title of the passage? A. A research on direction. B. The sense of direction. C. People’s ability of finding the way. D. Scientists’ research on skills.
