Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Happiness Is the Goal in Daily Life. B. Happiness Exists in Everyone’s Mind. C. Happiness Can Be Chosen by Us. D. Tips for happiness in Daily Life. B The Sir Lankan coastline is filled with fishermen who use the sea as their main source of living. Their daily catch would define the life of their own and their families. But it only took a few hours to remove their life-long habitat right in front of their eyes. Some fishermen had set sail on Christmas night. A very few were lucky enough to return the next morning. But none found any of what they left behind the other night. They were made to lose their families by the very waters that they used to love the most. The few who made it through the day have been wondering about the meaning of their lives. They had used the sea for decades, but the sea used them for a single day. Is it justice? Or killing? What would become of them? For whom would they go fishing again? As they struggle with their conflicting feelings, they also come to remind themselves of their struggle for survival. Where are they now? They didn’t leave the beach, or the sea. They will be back because the sea is their home and the only means of living, so they will continue in their fight for destiny. But will it be the same? Sadly not. Even though they force themselves to forgive, they can’t forget. They will never be able to get through the idea of a friend turning against them. That fear would always run deep in their hearts. As the fishermen get ready to take on their duties once again, each would take with them a frightful story that reminds them of the day of betrayal, the day that rewrote their lives. 【查看更多】

The Marches were a happy family. Poverty, hard work, and even the fact that Father March was away with the Union armies could not down the spirits of Meg, Jo, Amy, and Marmee, as the March girls called their mother.
The March sisters tried to be good but had their share of faults. Pretty Meg was often displeased with the schoolchildren she taught; boyish Jo was easy to become angry; golden-haired schoolgirl Amy liked to show up; but Beth, who kept the house, was loving and gentle always.
The happy days passed and darkness came when a telegram arrived for Mrs. March. “Your husband is very ill,” it said, “come at once.” The girl tried to be brave when their mother left for the front. They waited and prayed. Little Beth got scarlet fever (猩红热) when she was taking care of the sick neighbor. She became very ill but began to recover by the time Marmee was back. When Father came home from the front and at that joyful Christmas dinner they were once more all together.
Three years later the March girls had grown into young womanhood. Meg became Mrs. Brooke, and after a few family troubles got used to her new state happily. Jo had found pleasure in her literary efforts. Amy had grown into a young lady with a talent for design and an even greater one for society. But Beth had never fully regained her health, and her family watched her with love and anxiety.
Amy was asked to go and stay in Europe with a relative of the Marches. Jo went to New York and became successful in her writing and had the satisfaction of seeing her work published there. But at home the bitterest blow was yet to fall. Beth had known for some time that she couldn’t live much longer to be with the family and in the spring time she died.
News came from Europe that Amy and Laurie, the grandson of a wealthy neighbor, had planned to be married soon. Now Jo became ever more successful in her writing and got married to Professor Bhaer and soon afterwards founded a school for boys.
And so the little women had grown up and lived happily with their children, enjoying the harvest of love and goodness that they had devoted all their lives to.

     Some people take lots of exercise. Others keep strict diets. But according to   recent research, the
best way to live a long and happy life is simple. Get a dog.
     "We have known for many years that the company of a pet can increase
well-being in a number of ways. " says Dr. Bonnie Beaver, an animal behavior
specialist at Texas University.
     "For example, the survival rates of heart attack victims with pets are much greater than those of
people without pets."
     According to Dr. Beaver, pet owners are less likely to need a doctor. They recover more quickly
when they do get ill. They have lower blood pressure,take more exercise and are more socially active.
     Above all, they are happier. Seventy percent of the families Dr. Beaver surveyed said that their family
environment was happier after they got a pet. And this is what Dr. Beaver and other researchers are
trying to achieve. They want to find a scientific link between human happiness and a long life.
     There is no final answer to this question yet, but it seems to be something to do withemotional ties.
People with someone or something to love live longer. "There are many forms of animal-human
relationship and some are very helpful." says Dr Beaver. It seems that the more lovely an animal is, the
more it benefits our health.  As the saying goes, "If you want to be loved, get a dog."
     Pet ownership benefits men and women equally. Other life experiences divide the sexes. Women
are more sensitive to bad marriages than their husbands because they work harder at their relationship,
says Dr. Janice Glaser of Ohio State University.
     The message seems to be that a woman is better off with a good dog than a bad husband. Yet in
some ways, men are similar to dogs. They like getting dirty and making a mess. They forget birthdays.
They can disappear for days. How can they be better trained?

1. According to the author, the companyofa pet does good to a person in the
    following ways except __________.
     A. having less chance of dying of heart attacks
     B. being more active in society
     C. having their familyliving environment improved
     D. being better off than others

2. It can be inferred from the article that _______.
     A. a woman may prefer to have the company of a good dog than that of a bad husband
     B. scientists are sure about the relationship between happiness and a long life
     C. all life experience has a different effect onmen and women
     D. women can benefit more from owning a pet than men can

3. In what kind of tone do you think the author write the passage?
     A. Realistic and serious.
     B. Delighted and hopeful.
     C. Angry and pitiful.
     D. Light and humorous.

4. Which ofthe following do you think would be the best title of the passage?
     A. Relation between Humans and Pets
     B. Four legs Good, Two Legs Bad
     C. Love me, love my dog.
     D. Pets and Family Life

Daily life can be made happier. It is a matter of choice. It is our attitude that makes us feel happy or unhappy. It is true, we meet all kinds of situations during the day, and some of them may not be conductive（有好处的）to happiness. We can choose to refuse to think about the unhappy events.

We can choose to be happy, and we can do a lot to add happiness to our lives.

What is happiness? It is a feeling of inner peace and satisfaction. It is usually experienced when there are no worries, fears or confused thoughts, and this usually happens when we do something we love to do or when we win, gain or achieve something that we value. It seems to be the outcome of positive events, but it actually comes from the inside, triggered（触发）by outer events.

For most people happiness seems passing quickly. One of the best ways to keep it, is by gaining inner peace through daily meditation（冥想）. As the mind becomes more peaceful, it becomes easier to choose the happiness habit.

Try hard to change the way you look at things. Always look at the bright side.

Think of solutions, not problems.

Listen to relaxing, uplifting music.

Watch funny comedies that make you laugh.

Each day, devote some time to reading a few pages of an inspiring book or article.
