【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they want to get some advantages in social position or fortune(财), nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections（反对）, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be unpleasing and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
（1）The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means ________.
A.make others unhappy
B.have a good taste with social life
C.often blame others openly
D.enjoy the pleasure of life
（2）We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A.we should pity all such unhappy people
B.people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
C.such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
D.unhappy people cannot understand happy persons
（3）If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should ________.
A.show no respect and politeness to them
B.prevent any communication with them
C.persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D.quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
（4）In this passage, the writer mainly ________.
A.describes two types of people
B.laughs at the unhappy people
C.suggests the unhappy people get rid of the habits of unhappiness
D.tells people how to be happy in life

【答案】
（1）A
（2）B
（3）B
（4）C
【解析】这是一篇议论文，论述了一个人看待事物的方法决定了他是否快乐。

⑴考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的”By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere“.横线后面的offend (hurt) many people（伤害别人），说明该词应该指让别人不开心了。故A正确。

⑵考查推理判断。根据第二段中的”but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.“可推知，如果人们意识到这个问题的不好的影响，这些问题就有可能被治愈。故B的说法正确。

⑶考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的”These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them.“可知，如果他不改变的话，大家少接触他为好，故选B项。

⑷考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的”These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them.“和全文内容可知，作者主要建议不快乐的人改掉不快乐的坏毛病。故选C项。

Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes. “Shoes convey useful information about their wearers”, the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality．
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someone's shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.
Some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people. However，some of the more specific results are strange enough. For example, “practical and functional 'shoes were generally worn by more “pleasant" people, while ankle boots were more linked with “aggressive” personalities. The strangest of all may be that those who wore “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities. And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them, you may suffer from “attachment anxiety", spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance. There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal (主张变革的) types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes.
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities.
（1）What does this text mainly tell us?
A.Shoes Call hide people's real personalities．
B.Shoes convey false information about the wearer．
C.People's personalities call be judged by their shoes．
D.People know little about their personalities．
（2）Which of the results is beyond people's expectation?
A.Wealthy people often wear expensive shoes．
B.Pleasant people like wearing uncomfortable shoes．
C.Aggressive people are likely to weal" ankle boots．
D.Flashier shoes are typically worn by outgoing people．
（3）People suffering from “attachment anxiety” tend to
A.wear strange shoes
B.worry about their appearance
C.have a calm character
D.become a political leader
（4）The author wrote the text in order to
A.inform us of a new study

Dear classmates,
It's a pleasure for me to have a chance to make a short speech today.

【题目】A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.

The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad. Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings. She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits. Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep his company, telling him stories. When he was having an intravenous drip (静脉滴注), she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the patient much improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.

But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled. Each time the girl left, the old man would give her some money. The doctor did nothing to interfere (干涉), unwilling to offend the old man. A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma (昏迷) a few times. When rescued from the latest coma, the old man told the doctor his last wish, “ I have deep sympathy for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies?” But the doctor knew that her family was well-off and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies. Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father’s car.

When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man, the doctor told her the bad news. She was very sad and burst into tears. Then she handed $ 500 to the doctor, saying, “ The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty. He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling.” Now he got the answer to the puzzle. In the last period of his life, the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need.

The holiday season isn't about shopping and gifts. However, holiday travel can be more expensive than gifts. Fortunately, the following tips will help keep your travel spending under control.
Plan ahead. The earlier you book your travel, from airfare to hotels, the easier it is to find good deals. Your best prices on airfare come when you book three weeks before the plane leaves for domestic(国内的) flights. For international flights, consider booking 30 days in advance. Many experts point out that you should book travel between one month and three months out for high-traffic holidays.
Book your air travel on cheaper days. Traveling by air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays often costs less than on Fridays and Sundays. During the holidays, it's not just about a specific day of the week. You also need to consider the days surrounding the holiday but days immediately before and after a holiday can be expensive. One of the best ways to save is to plan your air travel on the day of the holiday.
Consider traveling overnight. Red-eye flights and overnight flights often cost less than those at more convenient times. Traveling overnight can help you avoid a night in the hotel, as well as save your money on travel to your destination.
You can't bring liquids with you on the airline, but you can bring sandwiches and other snacks. When you're on the road, you can buy food at local groceries to make your own meals, especially if you have access to（可使用） a microwave.
A. Bring your own food.
B. Consider affordable accommodations.
C. Traveling by plane is not the best choice.
D. Plus, booking earlier can save your money.
E. For instance, traveling on Christmas Day might be a great deal.
F. A great deal of travel also takes place during this time of year.
G. Other choices include sleeper trains as well as overnight ferries.
