9.Happiness is for everyone.You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or (36)B  and so on.Why?Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact,happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it.
(37)C  When you study hard at your lessons,your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health.When you get success,your friends will say congratulations to you.When you do something wrong,people around you will help you to correct it.(38)E All these are your happiness.If you notice a bit of them,you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money.It is a feeling of your heart.When you are poor,you can also say you are very happy,because you have something else that can't be bought with money.(39)G,because you have more chances to challenge yourself.So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck.As the saying goes,life is like a revolving(旋转的)door.When it closes,it also opens.(40)F.

A.those who have no houses
B.those who have nice cars and a lot of money
C.When you are in trouble at school,your friends will help you.
D.When you meet with difficulties,you can give them up and be happy.
E.And when you do something good to others,you will feel happy,too.
F.If you take every chance you get,you can be a happy and lucky person.
G.When you meet with difficulties,you can say loudly you are very happy.

19.Prepackaged,mass-produced snack foods are hugely popular in grocery stores around the world,Many people are accustomed to choosing snack foods in grocery stores.
The first problem with packaged snack foods like cookies,crackers,and other bite-sized options is that they are often loaded with unhealthy materials.The reason for this is fairly easy to understand.Mass-produced foods need to be uniform in color,taste and so on.In order to achieve this uniformity,snack food producers use sugar,salt,and other chemical preservative(防腐剂) and coloring materials in large amounts.These materials contribute to a rather unhealthy food.
In addition to requiring uniformity of taste and appearance,mass-produced snack foods like potato chips and candies need to be shelf stable.Preservatives and complex packaging make products shelf stable,but this stability and non-perish ability(抗腐性) often come at the expense of nutrition.
One reason that pre-made snacks are so popular in grocery stores is their prices.Food producers can keep costs down by using established production facilities and processes to quickly produce a huge amount of food.Shoppers are drawn to what they see at low prices.
People who are interested in improving the quality of their snacking can use magazines,books,and the Internet to discover a lot of healthy snacking tips and ideas.Even television shows about health and food sometimes talk about healthy snacking alternatives.Some healthy snacks,like fresh fruit,require no preparation at all.
Once people are aware of the drawbacks of clearly cheap and easy snack foods,they can start turning to better options.Soon,perhaps,the old and unhealthy snack options will no longer be profitable for food producers.

17.Some of the world's most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day.UNESCO( United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music,its significance,and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations,though,in the U.S.the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older,and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It's Jason Moran's job to help change that.As the Kennedy Center's artistic adviser for jazz,Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz,make the music more accessible,and preserve its history and culture.
"Jazz seems like it's not really a part of the American appetite,"Moran tells National Public Radio's reporter Neal Conan."What I'm hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore.It's actually color,and it's actually digital."
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost."The music can't be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958.It has to continue to move,because the way the world works is not the same,"says Moran.
Last year,Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller's music for a dance party,"Just
to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,"says Moran."For me,it's the recontextualization.In music,where does the emotion(情感) lie?Are we,as humans,gaining any insight(感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts?Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,"says Moran,"so I want to continue those dialogues.
Those are the things I want to foster."

4.Booking a trip on an online travel site is convenient,but comes with its own set of problems.
◆They know who's gong to spend more.
Last year,U.S travel research company Orbitz tracked people's online activities to test out whether Mac users spend more on travel than PC users.It turns out that on average,Mac users lay out US $ 20~30 more per night on hotels.The reason is that online travel sites show these users more expensive travel (选项) first.To avoid paying more,sort results by price.
◆Their software doesn't always link to the hotel's system.
A guaranteed reservation is almost impossible to come by anywhere 一 but the risk of your flight or hotel being overbooked increases with third-party providers.The middleman's software isn't immune(防护作用的)to system errors,so always call the hotel or airline to make sure your booking was processed.
◆You could miss out on loyalty (积分)points.
Third party providers can get between you and frequent flyer miles or points.Many hotel loyalty programs don't recognize external sites,others award only minimum points without special offers,like double points on hotel stays.
◆Don't be fooled by packages:Often,they're low-end items grouped together.
Ever notice how travel sites recommend a hotel,a rental car,and tour package all in one click.These deals usually feature travel that no one wants,like flights with multiple layovers(中途停留).Check the fine print.
◆Once your trip is purchased,you're on your own.
An online travel agency can't provide assistance the same way an agent can if a flight is cancelled or a room is substandard.Basically,when you arrive at the airport or hotel,you're just another customer who booked at the lowest rate.

28.What does the writer mainly intend to tell readers?C
A.Tips of how to reserve flights on line.
B.Problems of reserving a hotel on line.
C.Notices about reserving a trip on line.
D.Traps in reserving hotels and flights on line.
29.Why do people probably spend more on their online reservation for trips?A
A.They book at prices offered first by travel sites.
B.They are shown less expensive travel options first.
C.Some of the travel expenses are earned by Mac users.
D.Their flights or hotels are overbooked by tourist agencies.
30.Which of the following can replace the underlined"fine print"?A
A.Detailed items.
B.Discounted prices.
C.Good deals.
D.Special services.
31.What can we learn from the passage?C
A.The third parties will provide good travel services on line.
B.Few people book trips on line because of possible troubles.
C.Travelers'interests may not be guaranteed with booking on line.
D.Those booking trips on line will benefit much from loyalty points.

1.America is losing its moral values at an alarming rate.There was a time,not too long ago,when most young Americans had a common goal,which was to get a good job,own a home and raise a family.That was considered happiness.People knew what they could afford and stayed within their means.Children were taught to respect authority.Parents were role models for their children.
They would never let their children associate with another child that they considered to be a bad influence.And instead of just allowing them to grow up,they actually raised them with strong morals and beliefs,instilling(灌输) the values of God,family,and country.
But today,America is full of exhausted dads and single moms who,instead of taking on their role as a parent,instilling moral character and values in their children,have lots of debt upon themselves.As a result,they are too busy working to pay these debts,rather than focus on the real needs of their children.Instead of giving their children the parental guidance they need,they shower them with expensive electronic gadgets(数码产品).Most of the time,especially in single parent homes,the children are completely unsupervised.
Without proper guidance and supervision(监督),a child simply wanders aimlessly through their childhood,learning their values from only God knows who.Is it any wonder then that America is losing its moral values?The children are our future leaders.How can they lead if they don't know the way?Even animals teach their young.
Therefore,the young people of today need to listen to the older generation and start making some adjustments.Your children should be your primary concern.They need far more than mere food and shelter.They need careful guidance.Moral values need to be instilled while they are young.

24.Americans used to give their childrenB.
A.much freedom    B.proper guidance  C.1ots of money  D.expensive toys
25.Why are American parents exhausted today?A

B.They are under great work pressure.
C.They are tired with raising children.
D.They have fierce competition in their work.
26.What tone(语气,口吻) does the author use in talking about today's American parents?C
A.Grateful.B.Humorous.C.Disapproving.D.Guilty.
27.The last paragraph is written toD.
A.make comparisons
B.give more examples
C.analyze the problem
D.give some advice.
18.With limited space for parks and gardens,architects and city planners often find it challenging to include greenery in neighborhoods in cities.One creative solution is to grow plants on unused areas like walls and rooftops.It's a popular idea,and now rooftop gardens and green walls have been sprouting up(大量冒出)in cities around the world.
There are many benefits of having green spaces to the urban landscape.Adding gardens to rooftops or walls can create a pleasant environment--what was once a gray cement(水泥)wall can become a colorful,blooming garden.The CaxiaForum art gallery in Madrid,Spain,is a famous example--one of its walls is covered with 15,000 plants from over 250 different species.In other cities,green walls are being used more functionally,to cover up construction sites and empty buildings and to decorate the lobbies of office buildings.
Using plants to cover walls and rooftops can also keep cities cooler in the summer.Buildings and roads absorb the sun's heat and hold it,causing a building or neighborhood to stay warmer longer.Plants,on the other hand,provide an enormous amount of shade.There is evidence that growing a roof or wall garden can lower a building's energy costs.
In New York City,public schools plant rooftop gardens that can reduce heating and cooling costs.In addition to saving the school money,teachers and parents love the gardens because of their educational value--it's a fun and healthy way for their kids to investigate the world around them."For the children,it's exciting when you grow something edible(可食用的),"said Lauren Fontana,principal of a New York public school.
Rooftop gardens and green walls may require a bit more effort to grow and maintain.However,hard work always brings rewards,and with green spaces,the rewards are plentiful.
Due to the limited space in cities,rooftop gardens and green walls have emerged.(要点1)One benefit of adding green to rooftops and walls is to offer an agreeable surroundings.(要点2)Besides,shade can be created to make cities stay cooler longer,thus reducing the costs in energy.(要点3)What's more,green gardens in school bear educational value of children's exploring the world.(要点4)Though hard to maintain,green spaces in cities ensure abundant rewards.(要点5)

19.A mystery woman said today she has won£1.5 million from the UK National Lottery-but has never told her husband.
For the past three years,the woman,a mother-of-two who gave her name as Jane,had hidden her fortune from colleagues,friends and family,she said.
"Jane"has remained in her job and,if she ever splashed out on treats for the family,tells her husband she has had a pay rise or bonus.
The woman told her extraordinary story on BBC Radio Five Live this morning.
Presenter Victoria Derbyshire was hosting a phone-in which asked the question:"Is money guaranteed to make you happy?"
"Jane"called in and began,"I won quite a bit of money",just under£1.5million,and I've never,ever told anybody.Not even my husband."
Derbyshire said,"You're kidding me.Why not?"
"Jane"replied,"Fear that it would change our lives too dramatically.My husband had,many years ago,a small drug problem-around 15 years ago.And I'm scared with the money and perhaps the high life…he would go back there."
She continued,"I do feel if I had said,yes,I've won this money,that he would have wanted holiday,he perhaps would have wanted to give up work,which would destroy our little family unit we've got now."
The presenter told her,"I'm very surprised,I can barely believe it but it's clearly true.Do you feel it's made you happier?"
"Jane",who said her won was"about three years ago",said,"It's nice because I know I haven't got to worry about bills."
Derbyshire told her,"I'm full of admiration for you,but is it not a betrayal of your relationship?"
The woman admitted,"I feel terribly guilty in one way,but in another way,we've got two young children and I think,well,if their lives change dramatically then it's not fair on them.So I just want to keep things as they are."
