题目内容

【题目】 It was a beautiful, sunny Saturday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn’t seen for years. My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem – I could text him to tell him. He would understand. But ... where was my mobile phone? I had that familiar terrible feeling. Yes, I’d forgotten to take it with me when I left home.

No mobile phone. I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling worried when I don’t have my phone with me. In fact, I know I’m not alone: 66% of us experience “nomophobia”, the fear of being without one’s mobile phones. That’s according to a study of a survey in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones. It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, and women are more “nomophobia” than men. 77% of them say they are unable to be apart (分开) from their phones for more than a few minutes.

It’s funny to think that around 30 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be business people carrying their large “bricks (砖头)”. Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it’s time to ask yourself, “Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?”

So, what happened to my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said, “You haven’t changed at all－still always late!” We had a great afternoon, full of jokes and stories, and I forgot about my phone. Not having it with me felt strangely free. Maybe I’ll leave it at home again next time.

【题目】 In 1996, Subaru Takaiashi sailed alone across the Pacific Ocean. Many other people did this before Subaru, but he was special. At 14, he was the youngest person to sail across the Pacific by himself.

Subaru left Tokyo on 23 July, 1996. His boat was 30 feet (9 metres) long. In the boat, he had a two-month supply of food and water. He also had a radio and other modern equipment for sailing.

The beginning of this trip went very well. Subaru often talked to his parents by radio. He didn't have any problems with his boat. Then on 11 August, the engine in his boat quit. This affected his navigation(导航)equipment. Then five days later, his radio quit. So he wasn't able to communicate with anyone.

By the end of August, many people believed that Subaru was lost. No one was able to contact him by radio. His parents expected him to arrive in San Francisco on 3 September, but he didn't. Then, on 13 September, Subaru sailed into San Francisco. After 55 days in his boat, his trip was finally over.

【题目】 Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.

The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future - for example, getting into college or getting a good job - that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasure, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good thingsfor someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

【1】Does the writer agree to “Happiness depends on ourselves”?

【2】What can make you happier, to think too much about the future or to enjoy life’s simple pleasure?

【3】Why do many people go dancing or play sports?

【4】What’s the example in helping others to find happiness?

【5】What’s the passage about?
