分析 作者忽然发现最好的朋友竟然不愿跟自己说话了，作者决定去问一下究竟，原来是因为朋友的猫死掉了，心情不好，所以才会出现文章开头提到的情况．
解答 Tina and I had been good friend for years．We often did things together，so one day Tina didn't talk to me and just sat by herself．I don't know what was wrong．I thought about what I had done and said recent．Was Tina upset because I had done well in the history test than her？No，she was happy that I did well in school．I decided∧find out what was the matter．I walked over to there Tina was sitting．"Tina，"I said softly，"is anything wrong？"He answered sadly，"Yes，my cat died on last night．"I finally knew the reason what she didn't talk to me and comforted her．
详解：
1．friend改成friends；考查名词，我和Tina是好朋友，这里应该用名词复数friends．
2．so改成but；考查连词，前一句我们经常一起做事，后一句Tina不和我说话，前后之间应是转折关系，故so改成but．
3．don't改成didn't；考查动词的时态，根据时间状语one day可知应该用过去时，故don't改成didn't．
4．recent改成recently；考查副词，此处用副词作状语修饰句子，故用recently．
5．well改成better；考查比较级，后面有表示比较的than，前面应用比较级，故well改成better．
6．find前加to；考查动词的不定式，decide to do sth是固定搭配，意为"决定做某事"．故find前加to．
7．there改成where；考查宾语从句，连接词用where在从句中作状语，表示"…的地方"，故there改成where，句意为"我走到Tina坐的地方"．
8．He改成She；考查人称代词，由上文中内容可知Tina是女孩，故He改成She．
9．去掉on；考查介词，表示时间的名词前面有this，that，next，last等修饰时，前不加任何介词，故去掉on．
10．what改成why；考查定语从句，reason是先行词，关系词在从句中作原因状语，应用why，故what改成why．
点评 1．整体了解短文，抓住中心大意．2．注意实词，虚词的用法以及时态和人称的变化．3 重视语境，结合上下文运用语言基础知识找出错误所在，加以改正．
We all want to achieve happiness．（36）F Yes，many things including money，a good home，great food，children，good education，etc are important parts of life，but we cannot always control all of them．However，there are a few simple things that are in our control，can change our life and make us happy．
Accept the facts as they are．Do not get frustrated trying to change things that are not to your liking．（37）CYou can find a way to improve on them but there is no point in stressing on what you cannot control．The way you choose to react can either make you and people around you happy or make them miserable．
Focus on what you have and not on what you don't have．We tend to think of things that we don't have and forget to enjoy what we have．For example，you may want a bigger house with separate rooms for each kid．But if you take a look back at your present house，you already own most of the things that you really need and can bring happiness to you．（38）BSo value them．
Enjoy every moment．（39）D Journey is always more enjoyable than the destination（目的地）．Our life is a journey．Even though we want to achieve a lot of things and have set too many goals for ourselves，we should still have fun reaching those goals．
（40）E It may be as simple as a cold drink of water after a workout．If you can be happy with very small things like seeing the sun in the morning，you are sure to be happy for most of the days．
| A．Take chances． B．They are your friends and family． C．Facts are facts and you cannot wish them away． D．You do not have to achieve something to feel the joy． E．Have a desire for small things that are going to happen． F．So we spend our lives trying to get material things to make us happy． G．You can learn something valuable as long as you try your best to reach your goal． |
