【题目】Women make better drivers than men for many reasons. Why is that, do you suppose? Wouldn’t you think that competing at who has better driving abilities is pointless? If you ask me, I’d like to say, men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth—women are queens of the road.

Unlike men, women stop for directions when they have no idea as to where they are going. We don’t drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank of gas only to find ourselves heading in the wrong direction. Have you ever in a car with a man who is lost? He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth. And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out he’s made another wrong turn.

Speeding is what men do best on the road. Traffic is not a race. There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women. Not because we trick to get out of tickets but only because we don’t get pulled over as frequently. We don’t speed. We have more intelligence than senselessly to put our own lives as well as the lives of others in danger.

My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what. The seat is backed as far as possible, and they’re totally lost into loud music beyond a necessary level. You don’t ever see women driving like that.

I feel that the above evidence more than proves my points that women are not only better drivers but also safer drivers than men. We women rule the road. Oh, and men, if you want to continue criticizing women for being bad drivers, bring it on. We know you lack confidence, or else you wouldn’t be wasting your valuable time making jokes about the ones you may choose to spend the rest of your days with.

1If a woman driver feels lost, she will ________.

A. stop the car and ask people for help

B. tell the man next to her to shut up

C. take the wrong turns at a high speed

D. drive aimlessly for hours without stopping

A. women always have more responsibility for lives

B. women often play tricks on the police in charge

【题目】Happiness is not the absence of problems. 1 Here are a few reminders to help motivate you when you need it most:

1. Pain is part of growing.

When times are tough, remind yourself that no pain comes without a purpose.2 Every great success requires some type of worthy struggle to get there. Good things take time. Everything is going to come together; maybe not immediately, but eventually.

2.3

Every time it rains, it stops raining. Every time you get hurt, you heal. After darkness there is always light. So if things are good right now, enjoy it. It won’t last forever. If things are bad, don’t worry because it won’t last forever either.

3. Worrying and complaining changes nothing.

4 It’s always better to attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed. It’s not over if you’ve lost; it’s over when you do nothing but complain about it. If you believe in something, keep trying. Don’t let the shadows of the past darken the doorstep of your future.

4. Your scars are symbols of your strength.

Never be ashamed of the scars life has left you with. A scar means the hurt is over and the wound is closed. It means you overcame the pain, learned a lesson, grew stronger, and moved forward. 5

A. Everything in life is temporary (暂时的).

B. But it is the ability to deal with them.

C. Rarely do people do things because of you.

D. A scar is the sign of a success to be proud of.

E. Those who complain the most, accomplish the least.

F. Move on from what hurt you, but never forget what it taught you.

G. Change because it makes you a better person and leads you to a brighter future.

【题目】Denmark is one of the happiest nations on earth with some of the best quality of life. You don’t need statistics to understand the Dane’s happy lot. Walk around any Danish town and you’ll experience some of the most harmonious civic spaces anywhere. Their intimate scales and perfect transport systems combine the rich history and bold modern lines of the built environment to delight the eye, and the locals’ manners and sense of humor is refreshing.

Denmark’s capital Copenhagen is a remarkable city with wellpreserved medieval streets, renowned art galleries, Michelinstarred restaurants and a healthy business center. Finding something to do is never a problem and if all else fails, just admiring the streets with a hotdog in hand is an enjoyable way to spend a few hours.

Beyond the capital and the bigger cities, Denmark offers a mix of lively towns such as Ribe and Odense plus rural countryside, medieval churches, Renaissance castles and tidy 18thcentury villages.

The coastline of Denmark with its sand dunes and greenery is a sight that always attracts visitors. So, no matter what time of year you’re in Denmark, you shouldn’t miss out on a trip to the nearest beach.

It’s hard, in short, to find fault with the place. The visitor’s most heartfelt complaint is usually the cost of visiting Denmark. True, it is not a cheap destination, but no more so than the UK, and which nation’s public transport system would you rather use?Cheer yourself up by thinking of the country’s remarkable organization and clockwork railway timetable as being financed by the extremely high taxes paid by your hosts. When viewed in this way, this firstrate destination seems like good value, and you get the fairy tales thrown in for free: the Danish royal family is genuinely loved and respected by the vast majority of its citizens, not least handsome Prince Frederik, his beautiful Australianborn princessbride, Mar, and their young family.

1Which of the following words can best describe Danes?

A. Polite and humorous.

B. Happy and romantic.

C. Kind and friendly.

D. Outgoing and humorous.

2The writer implies in the last two paragraphs that ________.

A. visiting the UK will cost less than travelling in Denmark

B. the transport system in the UK can’t equal that in Denmark

C. people in Denmark pay high taxes to welcome visitors

D. the Danish royal family plays an important role in politics

3How does the passage mainly develop?

A. By providing examples.

B. By making comparisons.

C. By giving descriptions.

D. By following time order.

4What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To introduce Danish culture.

B. To show the attractions of Denmark.

C. To share experiences of travelling in Denmark.

D. To describe the happy life people live in Denmark.
