　　What do those countries in the world have in common? People are killing each other or driving others out of their families. Why is this hap pening? Very simple, really: in each h of these places, and elsewhere in the world, one group of people believes that another group is different from them and dangerous to them. It has been thus throughout history. How different are humans from each other?

　　We come in different colors: red, blank, white, yellow and brown; we have a variety of political systems, social systems, religious views(宗教信仰) or none at all; we are different in mind, have different educational systems, different socio-economic classes. We speak different languages, and have different customs and dresses.

　　If we were to break each of these further, we would have quite a long list of qualities and characteristics that make humans appear to be different from each other. I say they appear to be different , because most of what I have listed stands for what we see or hear, not what is true of human. Man is man everywhere, which is only because where he lives. when he lives there, with whom he lives there, and all have effect on how he lives, that is, what he believes, what he wears, his customs, his gods, his language and so on. These are man-made fact that each group develops over time living together, facing the same problems, needing and desiring the same things. They are his culture. The truth is that we are much more the same than different. If you wear one type of clothing and I wear another, we both wear some kind of clothing. Our culture demands it. If you speak one language and I another, we both speak so that others will understand us. We must communicate with each other. Nothing is gained by giving too many differences, but much lost . If we understood our differences as the ones of culture, then we could make our world more peaceful.

　　Difference doesn't mean better or worse, right or wrong . It means only that differences have been made by society. Differences produce variety of thought, feeling and action, and that can be very helpful to work out human problems peacefully.

　　In defining happiness, first we should get rid of a harmful connotation, that happiness is synonymous with pleasure．It is most decidedly not．Pleasure is an end in itself; it is something that is hunted for．________; it is not obvious, but mysterious．

　　This distinction is recognized in the very meaning of the word,“happiness”．It comes from the Old English “hap”, which just means“something that happens”．Many of our words invoking circumstance come from this word;“happening”,“mishap”, and“perhaps”are examples．“Happiness”, too, comes from this word, and means, literally,“that which happens”．

　　Happiness is, moreover, a personal experience．It is confined to the person and the moment to which it belongs．What you find happy, your neighbor might not; what you and your neighbor find happy, the two of you may find happy for different reasons．If we had enough wisdom, enough knowledge, or simply enough love, we could be happy in everything．

　　Happiness, then, is what we let it be．We can be happy, like the hermit, even if we are miserable, alone, and in pain．To us, though, it appears tending to escape, and many chase it, thinking of it as pleasure or riches．Happiness is not lack of want; that is contentment．Happiness is not joy or pleasure．Happiness is not the absence of sadness or pain．If we were stumbling stupidly about in a dark room, happiness would be the shaft of light we let through the keyhole, not knowing enough to simply open the door．

1．What is the best title of the passage?(Please answer within 10 words．)

________________________

2．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

Happiness is then a kind of one's own feeling．

________________________

3．Please fill in the blank in the first paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence．(Please answer within 10 words．)

________________________

4．What is your feeling towards happiness?(Please answer within 30 words．)

________________________

5．Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese．

　　If you have to miss one meal day（or if you want to do so），which meal will cause you fewest health problems if you don't eat it？ lf they have to make a decision of this type，most people（especially dieters or very busy people）will choose to skip breakfast．

　　However，many experts in the field of health consider breakfast（the meal which “breaks”your“fast”which started the night before）to be the most important meal of the day．If we eat a good breakfast，they say，we will have the energy and nutrients we need to begin our working day with vigor and hopefully with good humor．Nevertheless，many people skip breakfast or substitute a donut and a cup of coffee for a well-balanced meal．What hap-pens if we ignore the importance of breakfast？

　　One recent study conducted in the United States tested a large number of people．Participants included both males and females who ranged in age from 12 to 83．During the experiment，these people were given a variety of breakfasts，and sometimes，they had to skip breakfast completely．Special tests，including blood tests and endurance tests，were set up to analyze how well the participants'bodies functioned when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast．

　　The results showed that if a person eats an adequate breakfast，he or she will work more efficiently and more productively than if he or she skips breakfast or eats a very poor breakfast．This fact appears to be especially true if a person's work involves mental activity．The study showed that if schoolchildren eat fruit，eggs，bread，and milk before going to school，they will learn more quickly and will be able to concentrate on their lesson for a longer period of time than if their breakfast diet is inadequate．

　　The study also showed that，contrary to what many people believe，if you skip break-fast，you will not lose weight．This is because people become so hungry if they skip breakfast that they eat too much for lunch and end up gaining weight instead of losing．So remember，if you are on a diet，skipping breakfast will not help you．You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals．

1．According to the passage，if people must miss one meal a day，most of them would skip________．

B．if a person eats an adequate breakfast，he or she will gain weight

C．if a person's work involves mental activity eats a rich breakfast，he or she will work efficiently

D．if a child doesn't eat breakfast，he will learn more quickly

　　The year I went away to college was a very difficult transition (过渡期) for me. 1 is probably true with many people, I got quite homesick and 2 thought about going home.

　　Although the 3 time for many students is getting 4 from home, my mailbox was frequently 5 One day when I went to the mailbox, there was a postcard 6 out at me.

　　Finally, the cards 18 coming, right about the time I had begun to feel 19 about college life. They had been such a hap-py distraction (调剂) that I have 20 all the postcards and still bring them out to read whenever I need a lift.
