【題目】Almost everyone wants to be happy, but not all know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon 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 that we fail to enjoy the present, for example, getting into college or getting a good job. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems and only think about the activity.

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 things for 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】The best title of this passage is ___________.

A. Good Friends Make You Happy

B. Ideas for Helping Other People to Be Happy

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】A

【4】C

【解析】幾乎每個人都想快樂,但并不是所有的人知道如何找到幸福。本文講述的就是“幸福的秘密”。

【1】D

【3】A

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone.作者認為為別人做好事情會使你更幸福。故選A。

【4】C

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends.根據(jù)第三段中Many people experience dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming.可知，A/B/D文中都提到了，只有C項文中未提到。故選C。

【題目】閱讀理解
Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem (自信心). Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are always victims. They are leaves tossed (搖擺) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing (培育) the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks (挫折).
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it. You are on the road to success.
（1）People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ________.
A.can't exercise control over themselves
B.are easily affected by windy weather
C.don't have the power to face their fate
D.are ready to change their minds
（2）Losers would think that ________.
A.success is the result of hard work
B.working hard will lead to success
C.they fail only because of bad luck
D.they don't make efforts to succeed
（3）It can be inferred from the fifth paragraph that ________.
A.setting our expectations is essential before taking action
B.knowing cause and effect is the key to future success
C.thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D.whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes
（4）The last paragraph serves as ________.
A.the proof of the author's points
B.the conclusion of the argument
C.an introduction to another topic
D.a comparison between two views
