    The way people hold to the belief that a fun - filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
    As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably(不可避免的)brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (义务), self - improvement.
    Ask a bachelor(单身汉)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, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
    Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
    Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates（解放） 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 who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

        he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single
      3. C.
        he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities
      4. D.
        he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement
    2. 2.

      Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ________ .

      1. A.
        a rewarding task                 
      2. B.
        a thankless job
      3. C.
        a moral duty                    
      4. D.
        a source of inevitable pain

        ignorance     
      3. C.

      4. D.
        misunderstanding

        be able to distinguish happiness from fun

        It is important to make commitments    
      2. B.
        One must know how to attain happiness.
      3. C.
        Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.  
      4. D.
        It is pain that leads to happiness.

    NBA commissioner David Stern was in Orlando on Thursday night, getting ready for Sunday’s All-Star Game. Of course, all he could talk about was the only player anyone wants to talk about these days: New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin.
    Hours before Lin took the court against the Heat, a few hundred miles South down I-95 in Miami, Stern told reporters that Lin’s instant popularity hasn’t ever been matched in sports history, not even by Sunday’s biggest names, LeBron James or Kobe Bryant.
    The Associated Press had the details.
    “I haven’t done a calculation, but it’s fair to say that no player has created the interest and the craze in this short period of time, in any sport, that I’m aware of like Jeremy Lin has,” Stern said Thursday.
    Lin, an undrafted(未选秀的)guard from Harvard, has become the NBA’s biggest story since coming off the Knicks’ bench earlier this month to lead them to nine wins in 11 games heading into their matchup with Miami on Thursday night.
    With Lin’s popularity in Asia as the league’s first American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent, and with the religious community because of his strong Christian faith, Stern says he’s “never quite seen anything like” the attention on Lin.
    “It’s fascinating,” Stern said after the All-Star Jam Session opening ceremonies.
    The top five videos on NBA.com since Feb. 4, when Lin joined the circulation, are all Lin or Knicks related. Lin went from 190,000 followers on Sina, China’s version of Twitter, on Feb. 2 to more than 1 million as of Feb. 16.
    Indeed, Lin’s popularity is so out of this world that the NBA made a late list switch to ensure his participation in the Rising Stars Challenge on All-Star Saturday, a game that includes the NBA’s best rookies(新秀球员)and sophomores. Lin is in such high demand that all of the game’s other participants will meet with the media following a team practice on Friday while Lin will have his own, separate press conference later in the night. 
    This is Jeremy’s world, folks. We’re all just living in it. Even David Stern and the rest of the league’s All-Stars, at least for the moment. 

    1. 1.

      The following statements about Jeremy Lin’s instant popularity are true EXCEPT that ______.

      1. A.
        Jeremy Lin led New York Knicks to win all the recent games this month
      2. B.
        David Stern said Lin was the only instant popular player in NBA’s history
      3. C.
        Lin has become the NBA’s greatest story though he was an undrafted guard
      4. D.
        no player has created the interest and the enthusiasm in such a short period of time
    2. 2.

      Why did Jeremy Lin have so many followers in Asia on Sina, China’s version of Twitter?

      1. A.
        Because Jeremy Lin was born in Taiwan with strong Christian faith.
      2. B.
        Maybe because he is the first player born in America but has Chinese descent.
      3. C.
        Because Sina has a large group of surfing people, maybe more than 10 million.
      4. D.
        Because the top five videos on NB
    3. 3.

      The underlined phrase “out of this world” in Paragraph 9 may probably be replaced by ______.

      1. A.
        impossible
      2. B.
        important
      3. C.
        exceptional
      4. D.
        excellent
    4. 4.

      What can we learn from the above passage about Jeremy Lin’s instant popularity?

      1. A.
        Knowledge starts with practice.
      2. B.
        Failure is the mother of success.
      3. C.
        Every dog has its day.
      4. D.
        No pains, no gains.

    Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some degree our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and different surroundings. Thus the limits of persons’ intelligence are fixed at birth, and whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This idea, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
    It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two twins, they are very likely to be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
    Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in touch with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.

    1. 1.

      If a child is born with low intelligence, he can ______.

      1. A.
        become a genius
      2. B.
        not reach his intelligence in his life
      3. C.
        reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundings
      4. D.
        still become a genius if he should be given special education
    2. 2.

      In Paragraph 2, the underlined sentence “if we take two unrelated people at random from population” means “______.”

      1. A.
        if we pick any two persons
      2. B.
        if we take out two different persons
      3. C.
        if we choose two persons who have relations
      4. D.
        if we choose two persons with different intelligence
    3. 3.

      The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows ______.

      1. A.
        the part that birth plays
      2. B.
        the importance of their relations
      3. C.
        the importance of their intelligence
      4. D.
        the role of environment on intelligence
    4. 4.

      The best title of the passage can be “______”.

      1. A.
        Surroundings
      2. B.
        Intelligence
      3. C.
        Dependence on Environment
      4. D.
        Effect of Education

    We were driving on the right road when, all of a sudden, a black car pulled out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stepped on his brake, skidded(打滑), and missed the black car’s back end by just inches! The driver of the black car, who almost caused a major accident, turned his head angrily and started shouting bad words at us.
    My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. I mean, my taxi driver was friendly. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to hospital!” And the following is what my taxi driver told me, which I now call “the law of the Garbage Truck”.
    “Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump(倾卸)it. And if you let them, they dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish him well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be happier.”
    So this is “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. I started thinking: How often do I let “Garbage Trucks” run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets? It was then that I said, “I’m not going to do it any more.”
    I began to see “Garbage Trucks”. I see the load they’re carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my taxi driver, I don’t make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave, and move on.
    Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. What about you? The mark of a successful person is how quickly he can get back his focus on what’s important.

        the taxi driver didn’t want his mood ruined
      3. C.
        the driver of the black car didn’t cause any damage to the taxi
      4. D.
        the driver of the black car was angry and the taxi driver felt a little frightened
    3. 3.

      1. A.
