V． One possible version　

Most students in our school, including me, are strongly against the construction of a chemical works near our school. Although the works will make a lot of money for our city, we do think it will do us greater harm than good. The drinking water will be badly polluted. Of course, they have promised to do something to prevent the water from being polluted, however, it is far from enough. On the other hand, the air over the city will be polluted, too.. We will never be able to breathe fresh air. How can we live here any longer? Last but not the least, the site of the chemical works will take up the place where we students play games and have sports after school. Where would we do sports if it were occupied?

A large Chinese garment firm has offered former US president Bill Clinton US $2 million to represent the company as its “image ambassador (形象大使)”.

When I came across this information in a newspaper, I was greatly amazed. It reminds me of another report not long ago, when a general election was underway in Israel, that some Israelis suggested Clinton move to Israel to be their new prime minister! Fortunately that was just talk. But the proposal of the Chinese garment firm is not just talk; it has been put formally to Clinton himself.

To offer US $2 million to a former president to be an “image ambassador” is unbelievable! Even Yuan Longping, an agronomist (农学家) who contributes greatly to agriculture in China, was given only 5 million yuan by the government.

First, is it wise to spend so much money on advertising? No one can refuse to say the great function and influence of advertising. But it goes too far. Wouldn’t it be wiser to invest this sum to improve the quality of the company’s products? Microsoft hasn’t needed Bill Clinton to be its “image ambassador”, while it does need Bill Gates to be its manager.

Second, can the position of a company really be raised to a higher place by having one or two famous persons as “ image ambassador”? As the saying goes, borrowed plumage (羽衣) never appears beautiful on one’s own body. Would the company’s “image ambassador” prove to be “borrowed plumage?”

1. The China firm shouldn’t hire Clinton as its “image ambassador” because _____________.

A．he once deeply hurt the feelings of the Chinese people

B．it is unwise to spend such a large money on advertising

C．the quality of the company’s products is the most important

D．a famous person sometimes has quite an effect on a company

2. When the author learned the news that the Chinese firm wanted to hire Clinton as its “image ambassador”, he was __________.

　 　　A. interested　　 B. moved　　　　　 C. shocked　　　　　　 D. disappointed

3. The sentence “borrowed plumage never appears beautiful on one’s own body” in the passage probably means _______.

A．the firm should strengthen itself by its own effect

B．though he is a well-known person in the world, he doesn’t suit China’s national conditions.

C．one shouldn’t rely on others too much

D．buy clothes yourself, or it won’t fit you

MADRID ---What is it that makes people happy? Youth, health, a good job, good look, a flashy car?

The concept(概念)of happiness is coming under increasingly close examination in Spain.

As the nation rises to the club of the world’s wealthiest countries, people are discovering that material things do not bring happiness.

“ Most people use money as a measure of human value, “ says Jesus Ynfante, author of a book on Spain’s biggest fortunes.

“ Expensive products are regarded as the best. The rich are admired simply for being rich,” Ynfante said.

　 Yet psychologists (心理学家) warn that happiness cannot be brought. They advise people to look for it in human relations and in the small pleasures of everyday life.

Many people regard happiness as a moment of ecstatic pleasure (狂喜)---- something that, by definition, cannot last----while others speak of it as peace and acceptance of oneself. Polls (问卷调查) in different countries indicate (表明) that between 65 and 85 per cent of the world’s population regard themselves as reasonably happy.

Around 40 per cent of a person’s happiness is thought to be determined by genetics (遗传学), while the rest depends on childhood environment and the process of growing up.

Perhaps the most surprising thing about happiness is that it has little to do with age, health, wealth, or other values thought to be important in Western society.

For most Spaniards, happiness is linked with feeling close to other people.

Happy people accept their limitations and set themselves reachable goals, experts say.

There are lifestyle choices，which favour happiness, such as exercise, eating carbohydrates and exposing oneself to sunlight.

But the main secret of happiness is to take pleasure in small things.

“ If you are given a choice between eternal (永久的) happiness and a cheese sandwich, take the sandwich,” advises the musician Julian Hernandez.
