【題目】 Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few knowhow to find happiness. Money and success don't bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.

Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high place in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can't be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of honey is not happiness, nor is holding a high place in the government. These people value their beliefs, or their wisdom, or their health. They think these can make them happy.

Here are the ways to help you be happier.

The 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 that we don't enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favourite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.

The secret of happiness is also to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.

Besides, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbour, or simply help around the house.

Now maybe you know how to find happiness!

【題目】 Answer the questions (根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答問題)

Once upon a time, a greedy rich man hired a wise man. He wanted the wise man to find a way to make him even more money. The rich man was building a giant safe. And his greatest dream was to fill the safe with gold and jewels.

The wise man thought about this problem for months. One night he appeared at the rich man’s house with a big smile on his face. He said, “I’ve done it! My calculations are perfect! You’ll be rich beyond your wildest dreams.” The rich man was very delighted to go on a long journey. He promised the wise man double pay to run his business for him.

When the rich man returned, he found that all of his money was gone. Very angry, he asked the wise man to explain. The wise man told him he’d given everything away. The wise man said, “I analyzed(分析)how a single rich man could gain the biggest wealth. But it is limited how much one man can do by himself. Then I realized that many people could help us achieve our goal. By helping other people, you could gain most.”

With great disappointment and anger, the rich man went away. As he was walking, several neighbours saw him. All of them had their share when the wise man gave away the man’s wealth. They were so thankful that they welcomed him to their homes and offered anything he needed.

【題目】 Does Fame Drive You Crazy?

Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today's star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world's attention. Paparazzi (狗仔隊(duì)) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小報(bào)) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.

According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. "Over time," Villareal says, "they feel separated and alone."

The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.

Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their "story" alive forever.

If fame is so troublesome, why aren't all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.

Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.

1It can be learned from the passage that stars today ________.

A.are often misunderstood by the publicB.care little about how they have come into fame

C.spend too much on their public appearanceD.can no longer have their privacy protected

2What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A.Great heroes of the past were generally admired.

B.Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.

C.The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.

D.Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.

3What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?

A.Lack of favorable chances.B.Not enough social recognition.

C.Availability of modern media.D.Huge population of fans.

4What is the author's attitude toward modern celebrity?

A.Sincere.B.Sympathetic.

C.Disapproving.D.Unbelieving.

【題目】True or False:

These two letters appeared in a newspaper. Both writers have their own ideas on zoos.

Zoos Do a Good Job

It is good to keep animals in zoos. I know a lot of people think it is wrong to keep animals in zoos. However, I believe that zoos have many good points.

Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. Without zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger.

Secondly, zoos look after the animals very well. The animals are always given food and cleaned regularly. In the wild, it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry. But animals kept in zoos never go hungry.

Thirdly, zoos protect the animals they look after. They offer them safe places to live in. In the wild, some kinds of animals are in danger of being extinct. But zoos give these animals a chance to live. Without zoos, there'd be fewer kinds of animals in the world.

Maria

Smith

Zoos Are Unnatural

In Maria's letter, she says that zoos are good for animals. I am afraid that zoos are not good for animals; they are only good for people.

It is unnatural and unfair to keep wild animals in cages. Most animals are kept in cages that are too small for them. In the wild, these animals would travel freely. In zoos, they can't do this. This is why the bears and tigers always look so sad.

Most cages are not very clean either. It is true that zoos give the animals food regularly, but this is not natural. Wild animals are used to looking for their own food. We should treat animals in the same way that we treat other people--with respect.

Would anyone be happy if you don't let him go outside his home? Would Maria like to have lots of people standing outside her flat looking at her? No, she wouldn't. And animals don't like it either.

Philip

Black

1Maria and Philip have quite different ideas on keeping animals in zoos.

2In Maria's opinion, a real bear or tiger can only be seen in zoos.

3Maria thinks that animals live better in zoos than in the wild.

4According to Philip, cages are not big enough, so tigers and bears look unhappy.

5Philip thinks that zoos don't give the animals food regularly so it is not natural.

6Maria and Philip both agree that zoos are good for people.

7In the two letters, they are discussing how to make animals in zoos happy.
