Three hundred and eighty thousand kilometres away from the earth, the moon is man's closest neighbor
in the universe. Its surface is as large as Asia. Though so far away, the moon has a strong influence on the
ecological balance on the earth. For example, partly because of the moon's gravity, our seas and oceans have
tides.
Nearly forty years ago, man's dream of reaching the moon was realized when American astronaut Neil
Armstrong stepped onto the moon's surface. As Armstrong said, it was a small step for a man, but a giant
leap for mankind. Just think of the past when our forebears could hardly find enough to keep alive!
Understanding the moon is of great significance. Since there is no water and no air there, the moon is an
ideal place from which to observe the universe. A huge astronomical telescope has been installed on the moon.
And the moon's solar energy can be used more fully than the earth's. Finally there are the moon's rich mineral
resources. It is no exaggeration to say that the moon is a mini-earth in terms of mineral resources.
Maybe it won't be long before man can benefit from the development of the moon's resources.
B. Tides in the seas and oceans are partly caused by the moon's gravity.
C. The moon's surface is the same as that of Asia.
D. The ecological balance depends on the moon.
B. his step on the moon was not big enough
C. his step on the moon marked man's entrance to a new era (时代) of the moon's research
D. anyone could leave bigger and more steps on the moon than he did
really mean?
the moon to open a new world!
B. Just think that our ancestors (祖先) were working so hard, while we are leading so happy a life!
C. Every time when we think of our hardworking forebears,we can't help feeling shamed of ourselves. How
lazy we are!
D. If you have landed on the moon,you will certainly think of your forefathers, who did a lot in the development
of science.
B. the moon is rich in mineral resources
C. a huge astronomical telescope is more easily installed on the moon than on the earth
D. you can more fully use the solar energy on the moon than on the earth
B. The moon is a likely place to have a lot of diamonds.
C. It is no exaggeration to say that the moon is full of gold and silver as well as all kinds of treasures which
the earth has.
D. The development of the moon's resources will benefit man, but we shall wait a long time.
The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, self-improvement.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure , excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

A.a moral duty B.a thankless job

3.To understand what true happiness is, one must .
A have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetime
B. make every effort to liberate oneself from pain
C. put up with pain under all circumstances
D .be able to distinguish happiness from fun
4.From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes results from .
A .hatred B .misunderstanding

Never in the history of Sierra Leone’s elections have women so actively engaged in politics or competed for parliamentary seats. In the past, women did the dancing and cooking for elections campaigning. In the May 14th elections, we saw over 168 women candidates competitive for President, Vice President and Parliamentary seats.
One would think that about 5% of these women would have emerged as winners. But it was not so, because of our cultural perception of women. We need to change our culture. Women could be active politicians. The Christians in their own way encouraged women to be preachers(传教士) but the Muslim leaders say women should not head for officiating(主持) prayers.
The same happens in certain parts of the country where women are not part of decision taken in male secret societies. This prevents them from achieving some of their goals. A senior head in one of the ministries told me that she was getting problems with some of her staff members especially the male staff. Most women that come from the Northern part of country experience such problems. Some men are saying that a woman cannot be their leader.
Some women are also prejudiced against their women folks. In the last elections, most woman did not support their colleagues. In some parts of the country, because they are not members of secret societies they were not allowed to contest for chieftaincies (酋长或首领的位置). However, Sierra Leones not withstanding the cultural prejudice against women has witnessed women occupying high public offices. They have been appointed to head certain areas.
Sierra Leone is moving from its past culture. We need a change in our culture. Women all over the world are recognized one way or the other as they are now involved in the use of technology. We now see women as air pilots, and they even attempt to go to travel in space.
9.In the past, women in Sierra Leone . .
A.took active part in politics B.contested for parliamentary seats
C.danced and cooked for the election campaigning D.shared the equal rights with men
10.About 5% of the women engaged in election would have succeeded if . .
A.there were less prejudice against women B.less Muslim leaders had objected
C.more women had been engaged in the election D.more preachers had supported them
11.The author concludes that the women candidates can’t win the competitive vote because .
A.women is more suitable for the dancing and cooking job
B.women candidates can’t get the support of their folks
C.women prejudice still exists in today’s society
D.women are not capable enough to be a chieftain
12.The main idea of the passage is .
A.the prejudice against women in various fields
B.women in Sierra Leone, striving for their political rights
