题目内容

　　What makes a person a scientist?Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others?The answer is“no”．It isn't the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools which makes him a scientist．You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter(木匠)．You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate(调查)，how to discover information, is important to everyone．The scientist, however, goes one step further; he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer he gets to many questions is into a large set of ideas about how the world works．

　　The scientist's knowledge must be exact．There's no room for half right or right just half the time．He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit．What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times．If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration(实证)must be explained by the changes in the conditions．This is one reason why investigations are important in science．Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics．The accuracy(正确性) of his mathematics was later tested through investigation．Einstein's ideas were proved to be correct．A scientist uses many tools for measurements．Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations(计算)that may test his investigations．

　　[1]What makes you nervous and excited when you think about high school? That’s right：social life! In high school, you’re at an age when you’re going through lots of physical and emotional changes, and these changes can influence your relationships with people of your age．Here are some tips to keep in mind：

　　[2]1．Accept that your friendships will change．You must understand that all friendships change and grow over time．It’s natural to feel sad about leaving a friend．You might be far away for a year, and then meet each other again when you find yourself in a new class together．Anything can happen; just listen to your heart and keep the lines of communication open!

　　[3]2．Be willing to make new friends in your current classes．You might not have the same schedule as your middle school friends．You’ll be happiest if you have friends in the places where you spend the most time．

　　[4]3．Find other people who like the same things you do．This will happen naturally if you know enough about yourself and what you’re good at．It’s important to be with people who are interested in what you’re interested in, so be willing to make friends in your new activities．

　　[5]4．Try to think outside the idea of “groups”．This is a tough one．If you’re getting pressure from one group of friends not to hang out with someone else, maybe you’re better off as a free agent．

　　Like most people, I’ve long understood that I’ll be judged by my occupation, that my profession is used by people to see how talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I’m treated as a person.

　　Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid to serve food to people, I had customers say and do things to me I suppose they’d never say or do to the people they know. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, then called me back with his finger a minute later, saying angrily that he was ready to order and asking where I’d been.

　　I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon（勤杂工） by plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior（低等的）treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day I’d be sitting at their table, waiting to be served.

　　Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world worked--- politely and formally.

　　I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from a person in advertising department with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately clear. Perhaps it was because of money, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me.

　　It’s no secret that there’s a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and fortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry exists to meet others’ needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant.

　　I’m now applying to graduate school, which means someday I’ll return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want. I think I’ll take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose job is to serve them.

　　68. What makes the author disappointed?

　　A. Professionals tend to look down upon workers.

　　B. Talented people have to do the job waiting tables.

　　C. One’s position is used to measure one’s intelligence.

　　D. Occupation affects the way one is treated as a person.

　　69. What does the author intend to say by the example in Paragraph 2?

　　A. Waiting tables is a hard job.

　　B. Some customers are difficult to deal with.

　　C. The man making a phone call is absent-minded.

　　D. Some customers show no respect to those who serve them.

　　70. How did the author feel when waiting tables at the age of 19?

　　A. She felt it unfair to be treated as a servant.

　　B. She found it natural for professionals to treat her as inferior.

　　C. She was embarrassed each time her customers joked with her.

　　D. She felt badly hurt when her customers regarded her as a peon.

　　71. The author says one day she’ll take her customers to dinner in order to _______.

　　A. see what kind of person they are

　　B. experience the feeling of being served

　　C. share her working experience with her customers

　　D. help them realize the difference between server and servant

　Entering a bookstore, one cannot help but notice entire shelves devoted to books boating knowledge of the true path to happiness.
　Whether this wave of commercials and books can actually make people happier is the question. Happiness cannot be found by sticking to a narrow set of steps or rules. Finding happiness is not as simple as following a how-to-do handbook. It’s something that every person must find in his or her own way.
【小题2】 Gary Russell
　Does happiness grow proportionally with wealth? Hardly.
　Experiences teaches us material satisfaction comes only when one finds himself wealthier than those around him; and, in a similar manner, one feels of being lowered when facing a billionaire, while a worker with a monthly salary of several hundred dollars becomes the envy of the villagers in remote mountainous regions.
【小题3】 David Niven
　True happiness is not a result from human action. Results are temporary while happiness is everywhere and can neither be created nor destroyed. With true happiness there is no place for disappointments! True happiness may mean pain and restraint in the beginning but will lead to everlasting joy and freedom. To achieve true happiness, we should separate and remove the negatives. True happiness is realized by understanding one’s own self.
【小题4】 Joshua Party
　Happiness is a state of mind. you can be happy in almost any situation. Likewise, you can be unhappy in an equal number of situations.In the end, it’s your decision.
　If one can control one’s unhappiness, then one must be able to control one’s happiness. As far as I know, the human genome project has not been able to identify a single part of any human chromosome(染色体) which is responsible for happiness.
【小题5】 Laura Johnson
　So what makes me a happy person? Studying to be a journalist because I loved to write, not because it pays a lot of money. Skiing in the winter snow and swimming in the summer sun. Spending time with my close friends from home. Being in a stable family. Reading romance novels and watching movies. Having a boyfriend who knows more about rock and roll history than I do.
