5．You have the ability to decide if you are happy or not．Happiness is a choice．
You can't depend on someone else to make you happy．That is a lesson I learned early on in my marriage．I realized that I couldn't rely on my husband as my source of happiness．I learned that my happiness depended on me and not my husband's actions．I learned that you have to choose to be happy．
You can choose your emotions．True happiness comes from within； it can't be forced by outside forces．So how do you choose happiness？The same way you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit．You choose it because that's what you want to experience in your life．
You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feel good．You wouldn't buy a pair of shoes that you don't like or that don't fit well，right？So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don't make us feel good？
Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up （or even choosing to be calm） can be beneficial．We choose our feelings； no one can do that for us．If we let others get to us，influence our emotions---we are giving them power over us．When others cause us anger or pain，we are giving them our power．
We need to keep our feelings in check and not react automatically to what is thrown at us．We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does．
Remember that we can always choose happiness．At first it will be difficult to just switch your thoughts and feelings from anger，self-doubt，or fear to joy and happiness．But it is only a thought away．Don't dwell on what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way．Realize that thoughts，feelings and emotions can change．Then move on and choose to be happy．

9．Harvard researchers have created a tough，low-cost，biodegradable （可生物降解的） material inspired by insects'hard outer shells．The material's inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic．The material，made from shrimp （'虾） shells and proteins produced from silk，is called"shrilk．"It is thin，clear，flexible and strong．
A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability．Plastic's toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and'60s．Decades later，however，plastic's very durability （耐用性） is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags，or short-lived consumer goods，used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries．What is the point of making something that lasts 1，000years？
Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill，but its basic components are used as fertilizer（肥料），and so will enrich the soil．
Shrilk has great potential，the inventors said．Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature，found in everything ranging from shrimp shells，insect bodies to living plants．That makes shrilk low cost，and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of material．
Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab．The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet，so they're exploring ways to use it in wet environments．They're also developing simpler production processes，which could be used for non-medical products，like for computer cases and other products inside the home．They're even exploring combining it with other materials，like carbon fibers，to give it new properties．
49．Paragraph I of the passage is mainly about shrilk'sC．
A．remarkable designB．interesting name
C．major featuresD．basic elements
50．What has become a concern about plastic？A
A．Using it properly．
B．Producing it cheaply．
C．Developing its properties quickly．
D．Evaluating its contributions fairly．
51．According to the inventors，shrilk has great potential partly becauseD．
A．it can help plastic degrade
B．it can be found in living things
C．its mass production has been realized
D．its raw materials are abundant in nature
52．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？D
A．Recent Progress in Environmental Protection
B．Benefits of Insects in Scientific Research
C．The Harm of One-time Products
D．A Possible Alternative to Plastic．

19．Lucky is the man who has no"skeleton in his closet．"When a man has done something in his life that he is ashamed of，that he wants to hide，he is said to have a"skeleton in his closet．"Some people may have more than one skeleton．
As we have noted many times，it is hard to find out how these expressions begin．Sometimes，we get some hard facts．But more often we have to depend on guesswork．And that is true of this phrase，which came from England．
Before 1932，English law did not permit a doctor to cut open a dead human body for scientific examination，unless it was the corpse （尸体） of an executed（处决） criminal．
But when it became legal，more and more doctors demanded skeletons for a more scientific study of medicine．It was helping in the advance of modern medicine．The demand had become so strong that men began to rob tombs and sell skeletons to doctors at high prices．
We are told that a doctor would usually buy just one skeleton for scientific study．It became very important in his work．But he had to keep it hidden because most people objected to keeping such a thing．As a rule，the doctor would keep his skeleton in some dark corner where it could not be seen，or hide it in a closet．
After a time，people began to suspect（怀疑） every doctor of hiding a skeleton in the closet．From this suspicion，the phrase"a skeleton in the closet"took on a broader，more general meaning：to describe anything that a man wanted to keep others from discovering．It could be proof of a criminal act，or something much less serious．Well，that is one theory．
One writer，however，believes that the phrase might have come from something that really happened．It is his guess that a hidden closet in some old English country home may have turned up a real skeleton，clear proof of some old family shame or crime．Well，one man's guess is as good as another．But this sounds like a story by the great French novelist，Balzac．
Balzac tells us of a man who suspected his wife of having a lover．The husband comes home by surprise．But she hears him and quickly hides her lover in the closet of her bedroom．He enters her room and asks her if she is hiding her lover．He says he will not open the door to the closet if she promises him there is no one there； He will believe her．She answers firmly that she is not hiding anyone in the closet．
The husband then begins to build a solid brick wall against the closet．His wife watches，knowing that her lover will never come out alive．But she will not change her story and admit her guilt．
62．Which of the following situations is suitable for using the phrase"Skeleton in the closet"？D
A．You have stolen something precious and don't want it discovered．
B．You are a doctor and have to keep a skeleton for research
C．If you have cut open a dead human body for scientific examination you should keep the skeleton secret．
D．You have done a crime or done something foolish，but you want to keep others from discovering it．
63．From the text we know that there areB theories about how the phrase"skeleton in the closet"came into being．
A．one 　　　　　B．two 　　　　　C．three 　　　　D．four
64．Which of the following is right according to the text？A
A．In the 19th century，doctors realized the importance of anatomy（解剖） in the development of medicine．
B．The doctors of the ancient times liked to collect as many skeleton as possible．
C．The thieves stole skeletons from tombs in order to help the doctors
D．It is legal that corpses12of anybody are cut open for scientific examination in history．
65．From the story Balzac told we know that the wife's lover must have becomeC．
A．a corpse 　　　　B．a phrase 　　　　C．a skeleton 　　　D．a secret．

6．A branch of computer science called artificial intelligence uses programs that help solve problems by using human knowledge and experience．Artificial intelligence systems are also called expert systems，which enable computers programmed with great amounts of information to think about many possibilities such as diseases that certain symptoms （症状） could indicate and make a decision for tile treatment．
Computers are used in teaching as well．Programs that perform computer-aided instruction （CAI计算机辅助教学） are designed to help students at all levels，from elementary school to the university level．The student sits at a computer terminal （终端）．The terminal's screen displays a question for the student to answer．If the answer is wrong or incomplete，tile computer may ask the student to try again．It then may supply the correct answer and an explanation．CAI is also used in some adult education programs and as part of the employee training programs of some business companies．
One of the most important uses of computers is to communicate information over long distances．They can send information to each other over telephone lines．As a result，computers keep banks，newspapers，and other institutions supplied with up-to the minute information．A computer network consists of many computers in separate rooms，buildings，cities，or countries，all connected together．Computer networks allow people to communicate by using electronic mail a document typed into one computer and sent to an-other．Such
document generally travel in only a few minutes，even if they are being sent over a long distance．
The computer's ability to share information with other computers over a network linked by telephone lines is a major revolution in telecommunications．The Internet，an international network of computer networks，has spread out since the early 1990's．The Internet began as a US network of scientific and military computers in the 1960's．Now it is an international system for sending and receiving electronic mail，software，and electronic documents and picture files all over the world．The Internet has already cut the cost of long-distance communications for many people．In the future it will completely change the way people work．With the Internet，increasing numbers of people can work at home instead of in their office．
Computers and their programs are the most complex devices in human history，and probably the most useful．Modern industrial societies now depend on them．As computers become more powerful and widespread，computer education must continue to increase also．
60．From the first paragraph we get to know that artificial intelligence systemsD．
A．are beyond scientists'control       B．will take the place of doctors
C．will take the place of scientists      D．are under scientists'control
61．If you use E-mail to communicate with your friends，you canA．
A．exchange information without paper    B．talk with your friends freely
C．talk with your friends face to face      D．exchange information without computers
62．The phrase"up-to-the-minute"in the third paragraph meansB．
A．shortest    B．latest       C．longest    D．easiest
63．What is the main idea of this text？C．
A．Computers Are Dangerous         B．Computers Are Clever
C．Computers Are Useful             D．Computers Are Interesting．
