7．Some animals can be trained to help humans．For example，specially trained dogs help blind people walk around the town safely．Some kinds of monkeys can be taught things too．（36）CThe monkeys pick up the phone when it rings，carry shopping bags and do housework．
In the wild，animals and humans are not usually friends．（37）FIn Africa，the honey-guide bird works with humans to find food．The bird likes to eat the grubs （幼虫）-a type of insect that lives inside a beehive （蜂巢）．It knows how to find beehives but it can't open them and get the grubs．People like to eat honey，but they aren't very good at finding beehives．（38）B  The bird flies to a beehive and people follow it．When the people open the beehive and take the honey，they give the grubs to the bird．
In Laguna in the south of Brazil，fishermen and dolphins work as a team．The ocean isn't very clean，so the fishermen can't see the fish．（39）GWhen the dolphins find a large group of fish，they make a noise to tell the fishermen．Then the dolphins push the fish to the beach．The fishermen wait in the water near the beach and catch a lot of fish in their nets．The fishermen's nets make it easier for the dolphins to catch fish too．In Laguna，fishermen and dolphins have been working together for many years．（40）EMeanwhile，the dolphins must be happy to help because they teach their babies how to work with the humans!
A．They attack each other for food or something else．
B．So the bird and the people help each other．
C．They can learn how to help people who can't use their arms or legs．
D．In fact，they usually help to get enough food for their babies．
E．The fishermen teach their children how to work with the dolphins．

3．We all know that money can't buy happiness．No matter how much we earn，or how nice our clothing or cars or toys are，none of it will make us happier．（36）Cand the sad thing is that it could take us decades of pursuing wealth and luxury（奢侈） items before we realize this．
    So what will bring us happiness？（37）Dthese three things have been proven by surveys of hundreds of thousands of people about what they have，what their lives are like，and how happy they are．（38）F
We have a human need to be close to other human beings．Having good，supportive friendships，a strong marriage or close and loving relationships with our family members will make us much more likely to be happy．So take time to stay with your loved ones，to tell them what they mean to you，to listen to them．
Positive thinking can lead to happiness too．In fact，optimism and self-confidence are some of the indicators（迹象）of people who lead happy lives．So remember to get into the habit of squashing（排除）all negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones．（39）AThe state we enter when we are completely focused on the work or task before us will almost undoubtedly lead to happiness．People find greatest enjoyment not when they are doing mindless work，but when they are absorbed in a mindful challenge．（40）Eturn off the TV，get outside and do something that truly attract you．

20．Most people who move to a foreign country or culture may experience a period of time when they feel very homesick and have a lot of stress．This feeling is often called‘culture shock'（56）G There are four general stages of cultural adjustment．
The first stage is usually referred to as the excitement stage．Upon arriving in a new environment，you'll be interested in the new culture，everything will seem exciting，everyone will seem friendly and helpful and you'll be overwhelmed（不知所措） with impressions．（57）．Cand you have little meaningful experience of the culture．
The second stage is sometimes called the withdrawal stage．The excitement you felt before changes to frustration （沮丧）as you find it difficult to deal with the problems that arise．simple things like shopping and going to the bank are challenges．It is at this stage that you are likely to feel anxious homesick．（58）B
Culture shock doesn't exist long．You gradually get into the‘recovery'stage．At this point，you'll have a routine，and you'll feel less lonely as you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment．Customs and traditions are clearer and easier to understand．（59）F
The last stage is the‘home'stage-this is the point when people start to feel at home in the new culture．
There is a fifth stage to this process．If you decide to return home after a long period in a new culture，you may experience what is called‘reverse culture shock'．（60）E you may notice things about your home culture that you had never noticed before，and some of the ways people do things may seem strange．

A．It is a great challenge to learn the totally new culture．
B．This is the stage which is referred to as"culure shock"
C．During this stage you are taking in these impressions passively
D．Some people experience"culture shock"more sharply than others．
E．This means that you may find aspects of your own culture"foreign"
F．At this stage，you'll deal with new challenges with humor rather than anxiety．
G．It's important to learn how to deal with it if you're to adapt to the new culture．

17．What do the world's most successful people all have in common？
By examining the work habits of over 150greatest writers and artists and scientists，the researchers including Stanford professor Jeffrey Pfeiffer found that high achievers like Robert Moses turned out to be all alike：
Busy!Busy!
（31）D In a study of general managers in industry，John Kotter reports that many of them work 60to 65hours per week-which translates into at least six 10-hour days．The ability and willingness to work difficult and tiring hours has characterized many powerful figures．Energy and strength provide many advantages to those seeking to build power．
Just Say No!
The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say"no"to almost everything．And that's what gives them the time to accomplish so much．（32）B And focus means saying"no"to a lot of distractions （分神）．
（33）F
Ignore your weaknesses and keep improving your strengths．Don't waste time exploring skill areas where you have little competence．Instead，focus on-and build on-your strengths．This means knowing who you are，what you are and what you are good at．
Create Good Luck！
（34）G There's a science to it．Richard Wiseman studies lucky people for his book Luck Factor，and breaks down what they do right．Certain personality types are luckier because they behave in a way that offers the chance for good opportunities．By being more outgoing，open to new ideas，following the feeling that something is true，and being optimistic，lucky people create possibilities．
Does applying these principles to your life actually work？Wiseman created a"luck school"to test the ideas-and it was a success．In total，80percent of the people who attended Luck School said that their luck had increased．（35）C

A．Spend enough time to improve your weakness．
B．Achievement requires focus．
C．On average，these people reported that their luck had increased by more than 40percent．
D．They never stop working and they never lose a minute．
E．Busy people are more likely to be lucky．
F．Know What You Are!
G．Luck isn't magical．

Dear Peter，
  I am extremely sorry to tell you that I am unable to go to your party this Sunday．                                                                                     
             
                                                                               Best regards，

1．Editor Henry Slocum，
For me，with great interest，I am very glad to read your May 10th article in the local newspaper Honesdale Times about electronic books，or e-books．You made several good points about the disadvantages of e-books．You may have overlooked，however，some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional books．Yes，e-books are expensive，but they are also convenient．In addition，due to their environment-friendly nature，e-books have the potential to change our planet for the better．
E-books，for anyone who is unfamiliar with the term，are about the same size and shape as regular books．They have a large screen in the middle，however．This screen shows the reader a  page of text that has been downloaded from a computer．Once the reader has finished reading the  page on the e-book screen．he or she scrolls down to see a new page．The process continues until the entire book has been read．
As you pointed out．Mr．Slocum，it's great to lie on a warm，sandy beach with a book．You can do that just as easily with an e-book as you can with a traditional paper book．In fact，because e-books are so light，you can carry them anywhere．Say，for example，that you like to read on the bus．Which would you rather carry with you-a heavy 800-page novel，or an e-book that weighs only a few ounces（盎司）？
Another important advantage is offered by e-books as well．They are more environmentfriendly than traditional books．At present，thousands of trees are cut down each year to meet the publishing industry's demand for paper．Books that don't sell are eventually returned to the Dublisher and destroyed．This terrible waste could be avoided if everyone used e-books，which require no paper．
Sincerely，
David Eng
