When we talk about a wolf, we tend to describe it as a kind fierce creature．But is it Lily true that the wolf stands for devil and ugliness?
Have you read the book "The Wolf Totem'' 《狼圖騰》by a famous writer Jiang Rong, which tells the story of the relationship between wolves and human beings? Have you ever 21 the wolves' world? If you had, you would _22__ the wolves．In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland．They know more about 23 than humans．They can attack lambs without disturbing their mothers．They also know how to 24 full use of the shape of land to 25 sheep．I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be 26 at fighting．
The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand 27 ．Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul．A 28 wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves 29 nothing．All the wolves obey the rules． 30 they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork 31 makes wolves powerful．
The wolves also have great self-preservation and won't 32 to anyone．The writer, who wrote the book "The Wolf Totem" , 33 stole a one - month - old baby wolf and raised it very carefully．To his 34 , he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with 35 wolves. The little wolf bit through the iron chain that limited it．The wolf was 36 and never gave up fighting 37 its death．It seemed that the little wolf died as a glorious fighter.
I was shocked by this kind of 38 wolves which are one of the most respected creature on the earth．I want everyone to look at wolves in a 39 way．They are our teachers．They show us how to survive and 40 this not simple but dangerous world．Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!

This is no joke. Kelly Katrina Hildebrandt, 20, and Kelly Carl Hildebrandt, 24, are expecting just over 100 guests at a 21 at a church, where they will become husband and wife.
Their modern romance was a 22 made in cyberspace（網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間）.

I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such a splendid, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more lasting emotion.
Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir（回憶錄）after memoir, they reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage, if he’s honest, and he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment, for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they can. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacat
ion. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating（解放性的）realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
45. We can learn from the passage that____________.
A. fun creates long-lasting satisfaction
B. fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness
C. happiness is lasting whereas fun is short-lived
D. fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness
46. To the author, the role Hollywood stars will play is to _________.
A. write memoir after memoir about their happiness
B. tell the public that happiness has nothing to do with fun
C. teach people how to enjoy their lives
D. bring happiness to the public instead of going to parties
47. In the author’s opinion, marriage____________.
A. affords greater fun B. leads to raising children
C. indicates duty and devotion D. usually ends up in pain
48. Which of the following is the best example of “painful happiness”?
A. Winning lottery by accident. B. A bachelor resisting marriage.
C. Raising children. D. Buying some fancy clothes.
49. If one gets the meaning of the true sense of happiness, he will____________.
A. stop playing games and joking with others
B. keep himself with his family
C. give a free hand to money
D. use his time to increase happiness

People fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velvet-the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race, At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained—and added three inches to her height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.
Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World War II started, the Taylors moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult(成人)roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8(1960) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf ? (1966)
Taylor’s fame(名聲)and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatra—the highest pay received by any star up to that time.
Elizabeth Taylor is a legend (傳奇人物) of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has been lucky, she has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acts in movies any more. Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others — several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and education.
57. The producers didn’t let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because they thought she ____.
A. was small in size B. was too young
C. did not play well enough D. did not show much interest

Where is it possible to drive from Rome to Moscow, Madrid, Paris, Vienna, and Stockholm without going to Europe? The answer is in the state of Maine!
Throughout the United States there are many towns and cities that have been named after not only European cities but other countries as well, such as China, Poland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Just how many New World place names are recycled from the Old World names has never been tallied, but one researcher found forty-one Londons, fifty-six Berlins, twenty-four Dublins, thirty-two Athenses, and twenty-seven Moscows, among others!
Reasons for European place names differ. Some were in memory of settlers’ former homes, others in honor of historic events. Founded in 1818 by John Coffee, Robert Beaty, John D. Carroll, and John Read, Athens is one of the oldest incorporated cities in the State of Alabama. The town was first called Athenson, and the name was then shortened to Athens, after the ancient city in Greece. More interestingly, some names were given by mistake. For instance, the people of Moscow, Kansas, wanted to their city to follow the name of the explorer Moscoso. They shortened his name to Mosco, and an official in Washington, thinking the Kansans couldn't spell, added a ‘W’.
41. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. In the state of Maine there are many different European cities.
B. You can drive to many European cities from the state of Maine.
C. All the settlers in the state of Maine came from Europe.
D. The state of Maine has many cities named after European cities.
42. The word “tallied” (Line 4, Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to ________.
A. built B. believed C. added D. visited
43. What might have made the official in Washington change Mosco into Moscow?
A. Moscow was a world-famous city name.
B. He thought Moscoso would prefer Moscow.
C. He believed Moscow was a far better name.
D. He couldn't spell very well and made a mistake.
44. The best title for the passage is ________.
A. The Story of Moscow, Kansas
B. American Cities and Their Names
C. Interesting Names
D. Old World Place Names in America
