【題目】Yesterday night, over a dinner with my elder brother’s family, a topic of happiness came up. My wife, Marla, a psychologist, was sharing Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of “flow” with us. Marla explained that according to the research on flow, people are happiest when they are absorbed in a task that is just challenging enough for them to experience a sense of mastery(熟練).

A few moments later my brother, Yuri, offered the following opinion: “The first and only, necessary and sufficient factor for happiness is to stop associating happiness with pleasure. The two — happiness and pleasure — have nothing to do with each other.” This morning, with my cup of coffee, I searched through a pile of books on my bedside table and—at the bottom—found a book by Bertrand Russell, I started reading but didn’t finish. In it, I found the following thought:

“The human animal, like others, is adapted to a certain amount of struggle for life, and when by means of great wealth homo sapiens can gratify all his whims (突發(fā)奇想) without effort, the mere absence of effort from his life removes an essential ingredient of happiness.”

The conversation came full circle: people are happiest when they are in a state of flow (Csikszentmihalyi’s language )…which is the effortful devotion in a moment…which has nothing to do with pleasure.

Indeed, as Yuri insisted : happiness–as–pleasure is a myth; the association between happiness and pleasure is nothing but a semantic(語義的) habit; psychologically, the two—happiness and pleasure—are arguably different; and breaking up this association between pleasure and happiness might, in fact, be a powerfully first step in pursuit of happiness.

As I look back on that exchange, I recall that there was an effort, a struggle to find a common understanding about this seemingly difficult idea—a struggle that made me happy.

【1】The author wrote this text mainly to ________.

A. look back on the happy night

B. advise readers to read Bertrand Russell

C. tell readers how to be happiest

D. show different opinions on family gathering

【2】According to Marla, people feel happiest when they ________.

A. get what they want without effort

B. master the happiness around them

C. involve themselves in a challenging task

D. experience things that can bring pleasure

【3】What writing style is used by the author to explain happiness?

A. Giving examples. B. Using quotes.

C. Making comparisons. D. Offering arguments.

【4】The best title of the text may probably be ________.

A. The struggle for life B. Happiness as pleasure

C. A topic over the dinner D. The effort for happiness

A class teacher, in my opinion, plays an important role in a child's development. This year, she is moving to Class Three and I can't wait to see how things are going on.

This year, Miss Purity is gentle and humorous. It's hard not to like her..
She becomes an early bird. Last year, mornings were like a fight because I had to force Tasha to hurry up when she was preparing for school.

She wakes up early, prepares everything at a high speed and then rushes to school to be with Miss Purity.
She's happy. She enjoys school and school work and keeps talking about what they did at school when she comes home.
She's responsible. But now she never forgets even her water bottle at school. She makes her bed and helps in the kitchen.
Her diary is full of praises. The diary is the tool of communication between the teacher and the parents. Last year, her diary was always full of negative reports. One time, she poured water in a child's lunchbox, another time she threw another kid's textbook in the toilet. She's always volunteering to clean the blackboard, the teacher's chair and desk.
Finishing her classwork was such a big problem. She had to do it at home. But now, she finished both the classwork and homework at school.
