  I climbed the stairs slowly, carrying a big suitcase, my father following with two more. By the time I got to the third floor, I was 1 and at the same time feeling lonely. Worse still, Dad 2 a step and fell, sending my new suitcases 3 down the stairs. “Damn!” he screamed, with his face turning red. I knew 4 was ahead. Whenever Dad's face turns read, 5 !

  How could I ever 6 him to finish unloading the car 7 screaming at me and making a scene in front of the other girls, girls I would have to spend the 8 of the year with? Doors were opening and faces were peering out(探出), as Dad walked 9 close behind. I felt it in my bones that my college life was getting off to a(n) 10 start.

Or would it be a(n) 13 room? 14 I turned the key in the lock and 15 the door open, with Dad 16 complaining(抱怨) about a hurting knee or something. I put my head in, expecting the 17 . But to my 18 , the room wasn't empty at all! It had furniture, curtains, a TV, and even paintings on the walls.

  And there on a well-made bed sat Amy, my new 19 , dressed neatly. Greeting me with a nod, she said in a soft voice, “Hi, you must be Cori.” Then, she 20 the music and looked over at 21 . “And of course, you're Mr Faber.” she said, 22 . “Would you like a glasses of iced tea?” Dad's face turned decidedly 23 before he could bring out a “yes”.

  I knew 24 that Amy and I would be 25 and my first year of college would be a success.

We make a living with what we get, but we make a life with what we give.

--- Winston Churchill(温斯顿 丘吉尔)

   I am willing to  36   this saying. I have been  37  at the Boston Children’s Hospital every year since I was thirteen. At the beginning, I only wanted to go   38   I would get praise for entertaining children at the 39  . After giving my time for two months, my   40  changed completely.

   When I first   41    into the waiting room on the ground floor, I was very    42    that I would be spending my entire summer with kids. As it became   43   for me to show up every day at 8 a.m., many kids began to   44   me. To my surprise, I    began looking forward to seeing their    45   faces as well. They were always enthusiastic(热情)about   46   . My heart warmed every time I heard their    47  voices asking me for a story or an answer to a question. I felt   48   and irreplaceable.

   As I look back, I see the influence that these    49   children have had on me. It is because of them that I have   50   a desire to become a psychologist. Recently, I have volunteered for a month. I have been asked to    51   on many different floors besides the waiting room where I  52   . The kids on the floors above are usually there for a longer time.Despite their anxiety and desire to get better and go home, they always offer me a(n)  53  smile. I feel renewed about   54   a day with them because I realize that there is much more to   55   than money. It is much more important to love and to be loved.

Mirriam Websters online dictionary defines happy as: enjoying good health and satisfaction. Sounds nice, doesn’t it? I know a secret that can lead to happiness. Now you may ask, what secret is that? It’s a well-known secret, in fact. Perform a random(随意的) act of kindness per day.
Positive psychology is the scientific study of the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to grow. According to University of Pennsylvania’s website, positive psychology has three central concerns: positive emotions, positive individual character, and positive systems. Understanding positive emotion includes the study of satisfaction with the past, happiness at present, and hope for the future. Understanding positive individual character consists of the study of the strengths and virtues, such as love, courage, creativity, curiosity, self-knowledge, self-control, and wisdom. Understanding positive systems needs the study of meaning and purpose as well as the strengths that help the growth of better communities, such as responsibility, leadership, teamwork, purpose, and tolerance(忍耐力).
Positive psychology focuses on strengths as well as weaknesses, on building the best things in life as well as repairing the worst. It asserts(断言) that human goodness and excellence is just as real as sadness and illness, and that life consists more than seeking the answers to problems. All these things can be summed up in one concept: giving can equal a meaningful life, i.e. happiness.
But you are probably wondering how. Well, let’s examine the research, shall we? A 1996 study showed that wealth is only weakly related to happiness both within and across nations, particularly when income is above the poverty level. So money does not mean happiness. In 2000, a different study showed that activities that make people happy in some way—such as shopping, good food and making money—do not lead to satisfaction in the long term, indicating that these have quick diminishing returns(收益递减).
However, on the other hand, we also know that people who witness others perform good deeds experience an emotion which drives them to perform their own good deeds. Making a contribution to the lives of other people may help to extend our own lives.
This is why I make a point of trying to do something nice every day. Sometimes I tip much larger than I need to. Sometimes I just smile at someone who looks like they really need it. A random act of kindness is an act that receives just as much as it gives. You’ll be happier. They’ll be happier. And you’ll live longer. So, please, perform a random act of kindness each day.

   Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do; once or twice she had looked into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of the book,” thought Alice, “without pictures and conversations?”

So she was considering in her own mind whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain(雏菊花环) would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

There was nothing so very remarkable in that; but when the rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit- hole under the bush.

The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.

Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end? “I wonder how many miles I’ve fallen by this time?” she said aloud. “I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think. I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it’ll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think—but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. ‘Please, Ma’am, is this New Zealand or Australia?’ And what an ignorant little girl she’ll think me for asking! No, it’ll never do to ask.”

Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, when suddenly, thump! thump! Down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.

1.What kind of books do you think will interest Alice most?

A.Books that her sister was reading.

B.Books without pictures or conversations.

C.Books about white rabbits.

D.Books with pictures and conversations.

2.Which of the following is true?

D.The people on the opposite side of the earth walk with their heads downward.
