    How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and the old wishing they were young again! Each age has its pleasure and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each agc gives him without wasting any time in uselcss regrets.
    Children is a time when there are few duties to make life hard. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after, and loved whatever he may do. It’s impossible for him to be given so much again in his life without having to do anything in return. Besides, life is always giving new things to the child. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside makes him wild. But a child has his pains; he is not so free to do as he wishes. He is continually being told not to do this, not to do that, or being punished for what he has done wrong. His life is therefore not perfectly happy.
    When the young man starts to make his own living, he becomes free from the rules of school and parents; but at the time he is forced to accept duties. He can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the law of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison, lf, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble, and has good health, he can have the great happiness of seeing himself make steady pro-gress in his job and of building up his own position in society.
    Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be, but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age should come wisdom and tile ability to help others with advice wisely given. They can have the joy of seeing their Children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them and, perhaps, best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the fight.
    小题1:The main reason children wish they were grown up, and the old wish they were young again is that ______.
    A．both aren’t satisfied with the weak points at their ages
    B．both enjoy the strong points at the other age by looking back or looking forward
    C．the human beings should be like this
    D．they don’t think both ages are acceptable
    小题2:“Enjoy what each age gives him without wasting time in useless regrets” means ______. 
    A．Enjoy what is given to him by people at his age, feeling regrets
    B．Enjoy himself at his own age, feeling regrets for a waste of time
    C．Make full use of the time he is given at his age instead of regretting having no achievements
    D．Enjoy his own age and took down on the people at other ages
    小题3:“Children is a time when there are few duties to make life hard” means “______”. 
    A．Children shouldn’t be made to live a hard life
    B．All the children won’t have to work for their own living
    C．Children shouldn’t answer for the hard life they are leading
    D．A child bas few duties to try hard to make a living for himself or for his seniors
    小题4: According to the passage, what is a child’s greatest dissatisfaction? 
    A．He thinks he has not got the equal freedom as his seniors.
    B．He thinks he knows less about things than the older do.
    C．He thinks it easy for him to do something wrong.

    Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized(把…归类) as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.
    Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
    Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky(卑鄙的) excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
    Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
    In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate(演示) that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased.  Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility(高尚).
    There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
    小题1:According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our_______.
    A．self-respect B．financial rewardsC．advertising abilityD．friendly relationship
    小题2:The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to_______.
    A．lyingB．stealingC．cheatingD．advertising
    小题3:The underlined phrase "bringing the error to the clerk's attention" means_______.
    A．telling the truth to the clerkB．offering advice to the clerk
    C．asking the clerk to be more attentiveD．reminding the clerk of the charged item
    小题4:How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?
    A．We'll be very excited.B．We'll feel unfortunate.
    C．We'll have a sense of honor.D．We'll feel sorry for the clerk.
    小题5:Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
    A．How to Live TruthfullyB．Importance of Peacefulness
    C．Ways of Gaining Self-respectD．Happiness through Honorable Actions

    Can we turn negative thoughts like “I never do anything right” into positive ones like “I can succeed”? Is there power in positive thinking?
    Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply emphasize how unhappy they are．
    The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by referring to older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better．If you tell your friend that he may be an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faults．In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write passages opposing funding for the disabled．When they were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written．
    In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-esteem（自尊）．The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes．Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell．When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, “I am lovable．”
    Those with low self-esteem didn’t feel better after the experiment．In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think positive thoughts．
    The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy（心理治疗） that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them．In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse．Meditation（静思） techniques, on the contrary, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a large, more realistic perspective（视野）．Call it the power of negative thinking．
    小题1:The Canadian researchers find that _____．
    A．encouraging positive thinking may do more harm than good
    B．there can be no simple cure for psychological problems
    C．unhappy people cannot think positively
    D．the power of positive thinking is limited
    小题2:What does the author mean by “… you’re just underlining his faults”（Line4, Para3）?
    A．You are not taking his mistakes seriously enough．
    B．You are pointing out the mistakes he has made．
    C．You are emphasizing the fact that he is not clever．
    D．You are trying to make him feel better about his faults．
    小题3:What do we learn from the experiment of Wood, Lee and Perunovic?
    A．It is important for people to continually improve their self-esteem．
    B．Thinking positively can bring a positive change to one’s mood．
    C．People with low self-esteem seldom write down their true feelings．
    D．Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem．
    小题4:What do we learn from the last paragraph?
    A．The effects of positive thinking vary from person to person．
    B．Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy．
    C．Different people tend to have different ways of thinking．
    D．People can avoid making mistakes through meditation．

    Do you have a dream, something you always see yourself doing? Perhaps you see yourself as a lawyer, businessman, or even a scientist. Whatever it is, don’t let it die.
    A dream is a wonderful thing. It can give you hope for your future and encourage you to try when all odds are against you.
    However, there are dream killers that want to kill your dream. They may tell you that it is impossible for you, that you are not smart enough or that it’s never been done before. However, many times the biggest dream killer is yourself.
    Don’t let fear, doubt or lack of finances prevent you from fulfilling（实现） your dream. Talk back to these killers, “I can and fulfill my dream.” You may have to do this every day. The more often you talk to your heart that you can do it, the more safely your dream will be held within you.
    It is very important to take steps towards fulfilling your dream. For me, in order to fulfill my dream of one-day owning my own magazine, I needed to go back to school and finish my college degree. For you, it may be something different. You know deep inside what the voice of your dream calls for. Don’t be afraid and just do it. Try not to let too much time go by. Time is another one of those dream killers.
    Think about the words of a song by Yolanda Adams, “Keep the dream alive. Don’t let it die. If something deep inside keeps inspiring you to try, don’t stop. And never give up. Don’t ever give up on you. Sometimes, life can place a stumbling block in your way. But you have to keep the faith.”
    When you dream, dream big and never give up. Your dream is just yours. Never let anyone tell you that your dream can’t happen -- it can! Keep seeing yourself do what’s never been done before. As you continue to feed your dream and protect it, not only will you keep it alive, but it will come true.
    小题1:What does the underlined words “all odds are against you” in Parragraph 2 mean?
    A．You are in hopeless situation.
    B．You find everything seems strange.
    C．You are not feeling quite well.
    D．You have all your friends against you.
    小题2:What did the author dream of doing?
    A．Getting his own book publishedB．Owing a colledge degree
    C．Becoming a writerD．Publishing his own magazine
    小题3: What do we learn from Paragraph 5?
    A．It takes money to fulfill our dream.
    B．The first step is to know our dream.
    C．It is important for us to take action.
    D．We should not listen to the call of our heart.
    小题4: The words of Yolanda Adams’song are mentioned in the text     .
    A．to support his main point
    B．to make his writing interesting
    C．to show they share the same view
    D．to mean Yolanda Adams is popular

    “Little lies” sometimes come to easily to us that we don’t even consider them to be lies. Read about these lies of everyday life:
    1.  Lying about your age or your kid’s age to get a cheaper ticket.
    2.  Telling the host of a dinner party that the terrible food he prepared is wonderful.
    3.  Lying to your aunt about how much you love the gift she gave you---the one that you really hate.
    4.  Telling a friend with a terrible haircut that she looks great.
    5.  Lying to a friend about how much you want to see her again when you really don’t
    6.Telling the salesperson who calls when you’re watching TV that you’re very busy.
    Are these serious lies? Probably not, but if you would lie about your age to a stranger, what’s going to stop you from lying about something more serious later? If we tell a lie or act dishonestly and get what we want, that might make us feel good today. But what about tomorrow? The future results of our lies are uncertain.
    Still, no one is saying that everyone can or should be completely honest all the time. More people lie, often for a good reason. Lies are told all the time and are part of our everyday social life. Many times people lie to protect the feelings of other people, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Honesty is usually the best policy, but like any other policy, you have to make exceptions. 
    小题1:The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his argument by___________.
    A．making suggestions.B．explaining reasons and results.
    C．providing examples and facts.D．discussing questions.
    小题2:The author’s attitude towards little lies is that_________.
    A．he feels very fond of them.B．he feels they are necessary sometimes.
    C．he feels strongly against telling little lies.D．he feels ashamed of telling little lies.
    小题3:According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?
    A．Some people are born liars.B．People often lie to avoid hurting others.
    C．Some people can be honest all the time. D．Little lies are not serious things.
