13.While some dictionaries define the word"right"as"a privilege"when used in the context of"human rights",we are talking about something more basic.Originally,people had rights only because of their membership in a group,such as a family.Then,in 539 BC,Cyrus the Great,after conquering the city of Babylon,did something totally unexpected-he set all slaves free and let them return home.Moreover,he declared people should choose their own religion.Cyrus'statements are about the first"human rights"declaration in history.
    Every person has certain basic rights,simply by the fact of being human.These are called"human rights"rather than a privilege,which can be taken away at someone's sudden desire.They are"rights"because they are things you are allowed to be,to do or to have.These rights are there for your protection against people who might want to harm or hurt you.They are also there to help us get along with each other and live in peace.
  Yet many people,when asked to name their rights,will list only freedom of speech and belief and perhaps one or two others.There is no question that these are important rights,but the full scope of human rights is very broad.They mean choice and opportunity.They mean the freedom to get a job,adopt a career,select a partner of one's choice and raise children.They include the right to travel widely and the right to work without trouble,abuse and threat of arbitrary (霸道) dismissal.They even embrace the right to leisure.
  In ages past,there were no human rights.Then the idea turned up that people should have certain freedoms.And that idea,following World War II,resulted finally in the document called the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the thirty rights to which all people are entitled.

10.阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文.
If you ask people what makes them happy,you will probably get many different answers but
there are two fundamental things that will ensure happiness.
The first part of what makes people happy is growth.When you feel like you are improving your life,that's when you are happy.It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to constantly buy bigger and better things.You need to feel like you are growing on a personal level.You need to know that the essence of who you are is continually improving in some way.Keep looking for ways to make yourself better today than you were yesterday.This can mean different things to different people but the point is that you have to feel like you are improving and getting better as a human being as time goes by.
The second part of what makes people happy is the sense of contribution.Everyone wants to
believe that they were put here to do something great.As long as you know that by your being here,by doing what you are doing,you are helping someone somewhere,it will bring you happiness.
These are two ways of how to find happiness.Are these the only answers to what makes people happy?That depends on how you define happiness.
