题目内容
Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told us that our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Aleck—a game show which my best friend Carla and I both love. Carla has a good imagination, and I know a lot of history, so we thought we’d be good __35__ for the team.
A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the__36__ . He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup(替补). Unluckily four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a __37__ and the top eight scorers would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a __38__ way to decide.
Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to decide the starting line-up(阵容).Mr. Gaudi acted as the host. After a couple of hours, all the __39__ on the team were set except one. Carla and I __40__ for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition between the two of us. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the backup.
Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull ahead.__41__ I saw the look on Carla's face. I waited for a second and knew what I had to do. As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted __42__ even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Carla __43__, just by a little bit. Her expression as she __44__ she would be on the show made up for my not being on the team. And since I will go as backup, I'll still have the fun of seeing the show up close.
Was I __45__ by not trying as hard as I could? I don't think so. No one noticed, and Carla and I didn't __46__ it. It won't hurt the team because Carla will be a very good competitor on the real show. I think that making my best friend happy was the right thing to do.

【解析】
试题分析:几周以前,校长高迪先生告诉我们,我们学校被选中参加一个游戏表演比赛,我和我最好的朋友卡拉都十分喜欢这个比赛。卡拉想象力丰富,我的历史知识很好,我们都认为自己是参赛的最佳队员。几天后,校长高迪召集对这个比赛感兴趣的同学开会,告诉我们参赛队员五人,另外还有三名候补队员。遗憾的是,有兴趣参赛的学生数是这个数字的四倍多。大家一致同意通过比赛决定最终的参赛选手。昨天,高迪先生主持了比赛,一小会儿后,剩下我和好朋友卡拉竞争最后一个职位了。比赛进行到一半时,我观察卡拉的表情,意识到她比我更想赢这场比赛。我故意落后一点,让卡拉赢了比赛。卡拉获胜时的表情弥补了我不是参赛队员的遗憾。由于我是候补队员,我依然能享受近距离观赛的乐趣。卡拉将是一位十分优秀的选手,我认为让我最好的朋友高兴是一件正确的事。

The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend too much time thinking about the future-for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that 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 in 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 to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
