　　I took a wonderful trip with my family when I was ten years old. I remember it well. My aunt, uncle and cousins lived on a little farm in the country outside Rome and they invited us to visit them. These cousins are the same cousins who live in Miami now. Our trip to visit them a long time ago was very different from our recent (最近的) trip to Miami.

　　It was a Saturday morning when we left home. We got up early that morning before the sun rose. We were sleepy, but we were excited and ate breakfast quickly. We left home at five thirty in order to get an early start. It took us three hours to get there in my father's old car. When we drove up to the house, everyone ran out to greet (欢迎) us.

　　We stayed for two days and had a wonderful time. We played outside all day and helped uncle feed the chickens. He taught us how to make wine. At night, we listened to the grown-ups (成年人) tell stories about their childhood.

　　When it was time to leave, we were very sad. They begged us to stay longer, but we had to leave. My father had to go to work the next day. As I look back, that trip was a long, long time ago. My aunt and uncle are both dead; my cousins are living in Miami.

Do you know why different animals or pests have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.

Some birds like eating locusts. but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.

If you study the animal life, you'll find the main use of coloring is protecting themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be seen by hunters. This is because they have the colors much like the tree.

Have you ever noticed an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spread over, the enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it isn't strong at all.

There is not enough oil in the world now. As time goes by, it becomes less and less, so what are we going to do when it runs out? Perhaps we will go back to using horses, carriages and bicycles.
In the Second World War, some people didn’t use gas made from petroleum(石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The car didn’t go fast, but they ran, so this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we can’t cut down all our trees to make gas; we need our trees for other things, too.
Besides different types of gas, we can also use electricity(电) to run our cars, but first we must make the electricity! Some countries have coal(煤) and they make electricity with that, but we might not always have coal, either. Other countries have big, strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines(涡轮机) and make electricity more easily and cheaply.
We are also able to get power from the ocean tides. We put turbines into the mouth of the river. Then the tide comes in, the water turns the turbines and then it goes out, it turns them again.
Which of these ways will be used to run our cars in the future?
【小题1】When might people have to go back to using horses and carriages?

A．When they are poor.

B．When they run out of oil.

C．When they need more exercise.

D．When there aren’t any big trees in the world.

【小题2】What did some people use to make gas in the Second World War?

A．Water.	B．Coal.
C．Wood and plants.	D．Tides.

A．2.

B．5.

C．4.

D．3.

【小题4】According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．There is more petroleum than we can use now.

B．Trees are needed for some other things besides making gas.

C．We got electricity from ocean tides in the old days.

请阅读以下关于幸福心态的文章，根据所提供的信息，完成下面表格，请将答案写在答题卷相应题目的答题位置上。

   Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.

   In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money.

   When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you can’t always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
