閱讀理解

　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

　　One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that, ”and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were right about that. ”

　　I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons (箱子). Then he related an incident and I began to remember clearly the incident he was describing.

　　I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place.

　　There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half－dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to work.

　　The Manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting (examining)some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the criminal. He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no goo Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, obviously the manager did not.

閱讀理解

　　When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get．

　　For kids, happiness has a magical quality．Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩飾的)．

　　In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes．Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity．I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party．

　　In adulthood the things that bring deep joy-love, marriage, birth-also bring responsibility and the risk of loss．For adults, happiness is complicated(復(fù)雜的)

　　My definition fo happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”．The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are．It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even goo health．

　　I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday．First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself．Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love．When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day．

　　Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work．I don't think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either．She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her．

　　We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have．We’ve so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it's making us miserable．So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier

　　Happiness isn't about what happens to us-it's about how we see what happens to us．It's the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative．It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess．

(1)

As people grow older, they

[　　]

A．

feel it harder to experience happiness

B．

associate their happiness less with others

C．

will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness

D．

tend to believe responsibility means happiness

(2)

What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?

[　　]

A．

She cares little about her own health

B．

She enjoys the freedom of traveling

C．

She is easily pleased by things in daily life

D．

(3)

What can b informed from Paragraph 7?

A．

B．

Psychologists’opinion is well proved by Grandma’case

C．

Grandma often found time for social gatherings

D．

Grandma's happiness came from modest expectations of life

(4)

[　　]

A．

B．

stress then right to happiness too much

C．

C．

For these people, looking different isn’t just for October 31.

Star Wars Forever

    The force will always be with Luke Kaye. That’s because this dedicated fan has covered his back, arms, and legs with tattoos(紋身) of Star Wars characters.

    Kaye got his first tattoo about six years ago. Once he started, he just couldn’t stop. “I kept seeing characters in the movies and thinking, ‘That would make a great tattoo!’” he says. Kaye also collects items related to Star Wars. He recently had to sell a large part of his collection because it became too expensive to store it. But he can keep the tattoos forever.

  “I am nowhere near finished yet,” says Kaye, who lives in England. He plans to get tattoos of large spaceships down his sides. “You never know with me,” he adds, “I could come home one day with my whole face tattooed.”

The Hole Story

  “People often just want to look at me or touch me,” says Elaine Davidson. It’s no wonder. Davidson, who lives in Scotland, is covered with nearly 7,000 piercings (穿環(huán))! According to Guinness World Records, she is the most pierced woman on Earth.

  Together, Davidson’s studs(耳釘) and rings weigh almost seven pounds. She never removes them. She keeps them on even when she goes through scanners at airports. All she takes off is her watch!
