Human civilization has truly come a long way．From using animals for transport to the super fast automobiles that we have today．From using flint to making fire to using one touch lighters．But there are some things that we will never let go of．Some ancient traditions that have been brought down through the ages are still followed today．
Groundhog Day（土拔鼠节），falls on the 2nd of February every year．It is observed in the United States and Canada．While this day may be a public holiday and a bank holiday，it is not a compulsory holiday declared by the government．But this is not so for all the states．State-wise holidays may vary．
Ever heard of Punxsutawney Phil？Groundhog Day is observed because of this groundhog．The day is indeed about a groundhog．Punxsutawney is the name of an apparently weather forecasting groundhog．He lives in his burrow（洞穴）on Gobler's Knob，Punxsutawney in Pennsylvania，for a short period before the 2nd of February every year．On the 2nd of February，Phil comes out from his burrow and looks for his shadow．If he sees his shadow and goes back into the burrow，then America will have an extended winter of six weeks，But if he cannot see his shadow，and he remains outside．It means winter will soon end and spring will arrive very shortly．Phil has been‘predicting'the length of winter in this manner for almost a century and they have always been almost 100% accurate．
Groundhog Day is celebrated in some parts of the USA and Canada．The largest celebration is held at Punxsutawney，Pennsylvania．People come in scores to visit Punxsutawney Phil．They wait eagerly，camping days in advance，to see the small groundhog appear from his burrow，check for his shadow and either go back in or stay out．People cheer when they hear it is time for winter to end and celebrate by eating sweets and singing and dancing．Today．the Groundhog Day is a widespread tradition and an exciting event．

20．Over the years she had tried her best to ______ the terrible memory，but it was not an easy task．（　　）

1．When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines，Iowa，he told me about the only time he had been there．It was in the 1930s，when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas，Texas．He also worked as a professor at SMU，and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease．She couldn't afford the operation because her family was poor．
    Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston，a seaside town near Houston，Texas．She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）．On its top page were the words，"By O．Henry"．It was a nice story，and she sent it to her daughter at SMU，who showed it to my father．My father had never read the story before，but it sounded like O．Henry，and he knew that O．Henry had once lived in Houston．So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Galveston boardinghouse，and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident．My father visited an O．Henry expert at Columbia University in New York，who authenticated the story as O．Henry's．
    My father then set out to sell it．Eventually，he foud himself in Des Moines，meeting with Gardner Cowles，a top editor at the Des Moines Register．Cowles loved the story and bought it on the spot．My father took the money to the girl．It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed．
    My father never told me what the O．Henry story was about．But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story．

49．Who found the O．Henry's manuscript？A
A．The girl's mother．    B．The author's father．
C．The girl．             D．The author．
50．Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic？B

C．O．Henry once moved to Des Moines．   D．O．Henry once taught at SMU．

A．named           B．treated           C．proved      D．described
52．According to the text，why did the author's father go to Des Moines？A

C．To talk with the O．Henry expert．   D．To give money to the girl．

6．When asked about happiness，we usually think of something extraordinary，an absolute delight，which seems to get rarer the older we get．
For kids，happiness has a magical quality．Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved（毫不掩饰的）．
In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes．Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement，love and popularity．I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party．
In adulthood the things that bring deep joy--love，marriage，birth--also bring responsibility and the risk of loss．For adults，happiness is complicated（复杂的）
My definition for happiness is"the capacity for enjoyment"．The more we can enjoy what we have，the happier we are．It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends，the freedom to live where we please，and even good health．
I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday．First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself．Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing，which I love．When the kids and my husband came home，I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day．
Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work．I don't think that my grandmother，who raised 14children，had much of either．She did have a network of close friends and family，and maybe this is what satisfied her．
We，however，with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area，have turned happiness into one more thing we've got to have．We've so self-conscious about our"right"to it that it's making us miserable．So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success，without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier
Happiness isn't about what happens to us--it's about how we see what happens to us．It's the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative．It's not wishing for what we don't have，but enjoying what we do possess．
