      Are you truly happy? Do you ever know what it means to be happy and what it takes to achieve
happiness?   1   . The following are a few tips that I follow to create happiness in my life.
      Make a plan for attaining goals that you believe will make you happy. Your moods will very likely
increase if you are going after something you value.
    Surround yourself with happy people. It is easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded
by people who think that way.  2  .
     When something goes wrong, try to figure out a solution instead of being absorbed in self pity. Truly
happy people don' t allow setbacks to affect their mood because they know that with a little thought they
can turn the circumstances back to their favor.
       3   . These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and
will lead you to continuous happiness.
       4    . Whether you treat yourself to lunch, take a long, relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra
minutes on your appearance, you will be subconsciously (下意识地) putting yourself in a better mood.
     Finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness. Find a way to make light of a situation that
would otherwise make you happy.
     Keeping healthy is another way to achieve happiness.     5    .

     阅读下列材料,从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项,选项中有一项为多余选项。

     Directions:  Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each
paragraph.  There is one extra heading which you do not need.
1._____
     The colored part of the eye is called the iris. There are three basic eye colours ─ brown, blue and
green. A few albino people have red or pink eyes, but these are very rare. Many people believe that
blue eyes are more delicate than brown eyes. In fact they are just as tough as brown eyes, although they
are more sensitive to light.
2.______
We only see part of the eyeball, although the whole eye is as big as a table tennis ball. Light enters the eye
through the pupil and passes through the lens. The lens focuses the light onto the retina at the back of the
eye. The retina sends the signal to the brain along the optic nerve. The image on the retina is actually
upside-down, but the brain corrects it. As we get older our eyesight becomes worse. This happens
because the lens isn't as flexible as when we are young and the eye muscles are weaker.
3._____
     Our eyes are the most important of our five senses. We receive 80% of our information about the
world through our eyes. We also send signals to other people with our eyes. Some eye signals are
unconscious. When we look at something nice, our pupils get bigger. But when we don't like something,
they become smaller. We cry when we are unhappy and sometimes when we are very happy. But we
can also control some eye signals. For example, we can wink at someone or raise an eyebrow.
Sunglasses make someone appear mysterious or dangerous, because they hide that eyes and so we can't
see the signals.
4._____  
     We find large eyes more attractive. Children have large eyes in proportion to their heads. Cartoon
characters always have large eyes, too. We can't actually change our eyes, but we can make them look
bigger with make-up. Eye make-up isn't new. Pictures in the Pyramids show that the ancient Egyptians
both men and women-used it. False eyelashes can make eyelashes longer. Eye shadow on the eyelids
can make the eyes look bigger and more dramatic.Glasses can also make eyes look bigger.
5. _______
      We do not normally look into someone's eyes for long, especially when they are very close. Eye
contact can be very threatening, so people only do it when they want to threaten someone. It is also
very intimate. This is why lovers gaze into each other's eyes. It's also why people don't look at each
other in lifts.

A. Ways to beautify eyes
B. Proper use of eye contact
C. Techniques of sending eye signals
D. Colours of people's eyes
E. Functions of different parts of the eye
F. Variety of messages conveyed through

     Frankly, I appreciate myself very much.Yes, I admit I'm in many aspects not as good as other people, but I don't think I'm always not good.When I find what I've done or written is okay, I'll remain pleased
with myself for quite a few days, and if I receive praise for it, I'll even become so excited as to add a few words to reward myself.
     True, I'm not modest at all.People may call me conceited (自负的). But I think otherwise.
      I appreciate other people.I appreciate anything good.Isn't it unfair to forget appreciating myself while
appreciating others?
     We Chinese generally tend to be modest, and we take pride in being so.For example, a Chinese man
will call his own wife zhuojing, meaning"my humble wife", and his own writings zhuozuo, meaning"my poor writings". But if you call his wife a "rustic (乡村的) woman" or his writings"trash", he would, I'm sure,
declare he would make a clean break with you angrily.As a matter of fact, there is probably no difference
at all between what is said by him and you.
     I don't think it's wrong of you to freely praise yourself if you're really worthy of praise.As we know,
there is an old Chinese saying disparaging (蔑视) a melon seller, named Lao Wang, who keeps praising
his own goods.Well, why can't he praise his melons if they are really sweet and juicy?
     Lao Wang sells melons for a living.How could he carry on business if he, by imitating the affectations (装模作样) of us intellectuals, were to show false modesty about his melons?He would sure enough die
of starvation.
     Selfappreciation is therefore a key to professional dedication and enjoyment of work.Needless to say,
the same is true of those who make a living with their pen.One will lose confidence in writing when he
stops admiring his own essays.

1. We know from the first three paragraphs that the author________.

A. is modest in some way
B. is pleased to be a good writer
C. is too conceited
D. thinks it unfair to appreciate others

2. What do we know about the author's attitude towards Chinese modesty according to Paragraph 4?

A. Supportive.  
B. Negative.
C. Neutral.  
D. Careless.

3. The author mentions the example of Lao Wang to prove that______.

A. Lao Wang is very proud of himself
B. melon sellers should praise their goods
C. reasonable selfappreciation is good
D. writers should learn from Lao Wang

4. The purpose of the passage is to encourage readers to be________.

A. modest  
B. considerate
C. respectful  
D. confident

     What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? ___1___ . Do you prefer greys and
blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously
studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings.
___2___ . If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
     ___3___ . A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green
one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. ___4___ . A black bridge over
the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it
would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
     ___5___ . It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.

A. On the other hand, black is depressing.
B. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we grow up --- we are
     born with our preference.
C. The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.
D. If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
E. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.
G. Colours do influence our moods---there is no doubt about it

Speak, speak, speak!
     Practise speaking as often as you can. Speaking to yourself is good practice.
Try recording yourself whenever you can.
     Compare your pronunciation with the master version(原版)to see how you can do better and have
another go
. If you do this several times, you will find that each time is better than last.
Why not learn with someone else?
     It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study
with you, it will make you keep working.
Don't get stuck by a word you don't know.
     Practise improving ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously(本能地),even
if you don't know the exact words or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have
spare time. Use facial expressions, hand movements, anything to make yourself understood.
Language learning is also about intuition(直觉).
     Guesswork is an important way to learn a new language. When listening to recorded material, you aren't expected to understand everything first time round. If you play the same piece several times, you will
most probably understand something new each time.
Build up your vocabulary.
     A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don't try to learn too much at once.
It's best to study frequently, for short periods of time. Take at most six or seven items of vocabulary and
learn them. Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind, and then come back to them later.
And above all, have fun!
1. What's the purpose of this passage?
A. To tell us the importance of practicing speaking as often as we can.
B. To tell us a few tips to help us learn a new language well.
C. To tell us that guesswork is an important way to learn a new language.
D. To tell us that a wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning.
2. What's the meaning of the underlined phrase in the first part?
A. Have another try or attempt.        
B. Move away from a place to another.
C. Enter a certain state or condition.    
D. Follow or take a certain course.
3. To learn English well, we shouldn't _______ according to the passage.
A. practice speaking as often as possible
B. study frequently, for short periods of time to build up our vocabulary
C. try to understand everything and stop when we meet a new word
D. try to persuade a friend or family member to study with us
4. According to the passage, to learn a new language well, the most important thing is ______.
A. speaking as much as possible

     A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don't laugh, it's true. Family matters including living
habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.
     Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a
coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors
explained.
     "We don't get sick or stay well by ourselves," says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that
family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research. The genes you get
from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected
may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.
     Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and
environment affect our health, too. Ferrer's research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or
unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.
     We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual
(个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said.
1. Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?
A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class.
B. Because her parents used to quarrel.
C. Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.
D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.
2. According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. We get sick or stay well by ourselves.
B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.
C. Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment.
D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.
3. The underlined word "coma" in Paragraph2 probably means ________.
A. surprise    
B. faint        
C. tiredness
D. sadness
4. The best title for this passage is ________.
A. Family relations.                
B. The reasons why we get sick.
C. Family—another cause to health    
D. A research about health.

     Phil White has just returned from an 18,000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two
reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity,
which he did. He raised ~70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the
trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still
waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.
    White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He
spent more than l,300 hours in the saddle(车座)and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains.
He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand
and the   Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food,
water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.
     The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through
jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to
help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers
and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him
was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometres
he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work
and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his
adventures.
1.  When Phil White returned from his trip, he________.
A. broke the world record              
B. collected money for Oxfam
C. destroyed several bikes            
D. travelled about 1,300 hours
2. What does the word "epic" in Paragraph l most probably mean
A. Very slow but exciting.                    
B. Very long and difficult.
C. Very smooth but tiring.                
D. Very lonely and depressing.
3. During his journey around the world, Phil White _______.
A. fought heroically against robbers in Iran
B. experienced the extremes of heat and cold
C. managed to ride against the wind in Australia
D. had a team of people who travelled with him
4. Which of the following words can best describe Phil White?
A. Imaginative.    
B. Patriotic.  
C. Modest.      
D. Determined.
