    I have had the privilege of meeting some very interesting people over the years. Some of these people made a great impact on my life, my views and personal philosophy. Others I met had the opposite effect because they represented attitudes, behavior and beliefs that were directly opposed to my views on life and my feelings about the value of all people.
    One such person I met was a woman in her late seventies. She had been an active woman, raised a family and had engaged in helping others, and developed her own crafts to sell at selected craft shows throughout the year.
    When I met her for the first time, I couldn’t believe that she was in her late seventies — I would have placed her age more in her early sixties. After speaking with her for a short period, it was only then that the conversation seemed to turn to age. And, it wasn’t a conversation about the frailty (脆弱) of age, or the aches and pains, or about pleasures lost.
    The conversation, instead, focused on her zest for life and all the things that she was in the planning stages of doing. And, what she was planning to do wasn’t about going to a seniors group so she and her husband could go on a bus tour. What she was planning was an excursion (旅行) to Europe, unaccompanied by any tour operator or taken around the usual sights by a local guide.
    She really impressed me a lot because of her zest for life; for an uncompromising view of the future not in the least affected by her age; for the undying faith in knowing that there was a great deal of life yet to be discovered and experienced and yearning for each new image, discussion, smell, cultural uniqueness or experience.
    小题1:From the text we know_____________.
    A．the woman had much sight-seeing around the world.
    B．the woman was willing to help others.
    C．the woman made great wealth by selling crafts.
    D．the woman talked a lot about her age.
    小题2:The old woman impressed the author because ______________.
    A．she kept young in spite of her age
    B．she had experienced a lot in life
    C．she never gave in to the aches and pains in life
    D．she had a positive outlook on life
    小题3:What kind of tone does the author use to describe the woman?
    A. Doubtful.   C. Concerning.              C. Sympathetic.   D. Appreciative.
    小题4:The underlined word “zest” in the fourth paragraph probably means“_____________”.
    A．enthusiasmB．concept C．view D．satisfaction

    I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year - round sun．You may think People ,n such an attractive, fun - filled place are happier than others．If so you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness．
    Many intelligent people still think fun equals happiness．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 deep, long-lasting emotion．
    Going to an amusement park or a ball game, watching a movie or television are fun activities that help us relax, temporally 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．They have constant access to exciting parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness" But in memoir（回忆录） after memoir, they expose Ac unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages and loneliness．
    Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying．If he is honest, 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 want．Couples with babies are lucky to get a whole night' s sleep．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 realizations we can ever come to．It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can truly 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 frees us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and famous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all．
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．Fun and happiness．
    B．Success and satisfaction．
    C．Marriage and commitment．
    D．Entertainment and responsibility．
    小题2:The author probably agrees that ____．
    A．fun creates long - lasting satisfaction
    B．long - standing fun may lead to happiness
    C．fun is short-lived while happiness is long-lasting
    D．fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness
    小题3:What does the author think of marriage?
    A．It ends in pain．
    B．It means commitment．
    C．It affords greater fun．
    D．It leads to raising children．
    【小题14If one gets the real meaning of happiness, he ____．
    A．will start a business
    B．won' t place too much value on money
    C．will seek for freedom
    D．won't devote himself to his family

    I learned about life from an ant farm．When I was seven years old, my family created one．First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box, and then we waited for the live ants to arrive．Shortly after the chilly ants were dropped into the glass structure, they got to work making tunnels．I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do．After hours of staring, I realized that the ants had assigned jobs．With my mom ' s help, I kept a diary of what happened each day and named the ants．
    One day a tragedy struck the ant farm．The pages of the diary, still wrinkled where tear drops fell, indicate the depth of the tragedy．'I had put my face so close to the structure that I accidentally tipped it over, caving in all the tunnels．Although the ants survived their earthquake, one by one they began to die．I was terrified as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a comer of the farm．My mother reported that the ants were dying of "frustration．" They simply could not stand the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed．
    Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm．Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more．Over the years, I came to realize the ants were a study in the benefits of teamwork．Working together, they were able to create an amazing world for themselves．I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work．Day in and day out, each labored at their task．The ant farm showed that teamwork and perseverance are indeed two key ingredients to success．But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity （不幸、灾祸） is a natural part of life,and must be accepted．Unlike the ants, humans cannot give up when they face disappointment．Unlike the ants, we have to realize that if a tunnel caves in, we just have to build another．Giving up, I say, is not a choice．
    小题1:The family created an ant farm in a glass box because it was easy _____.
    A．for the ants to live inB．to get sun light in
    C．to keep the sand cleanD．for the boy to observe
    小题2:What made the pages of the diary wrinkled?
    A．The tears．B．The earthquakeC．The ants．D．The tragedy．
    小题3:What did the writer finally realize?
    A．Perseverance is the only way to success．
    B．Humans cannot give up when facing adversity．
    C．People should admire anyone for their hard work．
    D．His mother taught him much more．
    小题4:When did the writer draw a more important lesson from his experience?
    A．Before he was seven years old．
    B．When he was seven years old．
    C．Immediately after the tragedy．
    D．Many years after the tragedy

    One night, as Diaz stepped off the train and onto a nearly empty platform, a teenage boy approached and pulled out a knife.
    “He wanted my money, so I just gave him my wallet and told him, ‘Here you go ’” Diaz says.
    As the teen began to walk away, Diaz told him, “Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something. If you’re going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep you warm.”
    The robber looked at him puzzled, saying, “Why are you doing this?”
    Diaz replied, “If you’re willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars, then you must really need the money. I mean, all I wanted to do was get dinner and if you really want to join me…..”
    Diaz says he and the teen went into a diner and sat in a booth.
    “The manager comes by, the dishwashers come by, the waiters come by to say hi,” Diaz says.
    The kid said, “You know everybody here. Do you own this place?”
    “No, I just eat here a lot,” Dias said. “But you’re even nice to the dishwasher,” he said.
    Diaz replied, “Well, haven’t you been taught you should be nice to everybody?”
    “Yea, but I didn’t think people actually behaved that way,” the teen said.
    When the bill arrived, Diaz said, “You’re going to have to pay for this bill because you have my money and I can’t pay for this. So if you give me my wallet back, I’ll gladly treat you.”
    The teen returned it immediately. “I gave him $20…. I figure maybe it’ll help him.” Diaz says he asked for something in return--- the teen’s knife--- “and he gave it to me.”
    Afterwards, when Diaz told his mother what happened, she said, “You’re the type of kid that if someone asked you for the time, you gave them your watch.”
    “I figure, you know, if you treat people right, you can only hope that they treat you right. It’s as simple as it gets in this complicated world.”
    小题1:What did Diaz do to the teen?
    A．He gave the teen a new walletB．He treated the teen to dinner
    C．He gave his coat to the teenD．He taught the teen a lesson
    小题2:From the passage we can infer that the boy _______.
    A．expressed his gratitude for Diaz’s kindness
    B．gave up the idea of robbing in the end
    C．wasn’t taught how to be nice to everybody
    D．gave the knife to Diaz in return for his forgiveness
    小题3:For what Diaz did, his mother showed an attitude of _______.
    A．complaintB．concernC．criticismD．praise
    小题4:By telling the story of Diaz, the author intends to tell us ______.

    The rumors had been spreading for months but it still came as a shock when the hospital would be closing. It had served this poor neighborhood for nearly 100 years but it would close because of the health care crisis.
    The day after the announcement co-workers found out that pretzels(椒盐饼干) had been eliminated. Soft pretzels are the lifeblood of this city. So losing access to soft pretzels is no small matter.
    I said, “I only have $6. I’m not sure how many pretzels I need. You see, I work at a hospital and it’s closing and they stopped selling pretzels.” The man’s smile disappeared. “What hospital?” “Oh, Northeastern Hospital.”
    The guy looked deeply shocked. “I used to sell medical supplies and that was one of my hospitals.” Then he turned around and grabbed a box of 25 pretzels and slid them across the counter.
    I was surprised by his generosity and started to reach for my wallet, “Oh I can pay. Please let me …” The guy smiled, “Just tell them Joe Sullivan said to do something nice for someone else.”
    And so that day everyone in medical records was treated to a soft pretzel. Word spread fast as people came asking, “Is it really true?” It was as if I’d carried in a box of gold. It mattered to them that a stranger cared.
