    Are you happy? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happiness today?
    Many have sought a variety of sources for their feelings of happiness．Some have put their heart and efforts into their work．Too many have turned to drugs and alcohol．Meanwhile, untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars, exotic（异国的）vacation homes and other popular “toys”. Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact: people are looking for a lasting source of happiness.
    Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes from many people because they misunderstand the journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, “I’ll be happy when I get my new promotion,” or “I’ll be happy when I lose that extra 20 pounds.” It is dangerous because it accepts that happiness is a “response” to having, being or doing something.
    In life, we all experience stimulus（激励） and response．Today, some people think that an expensive car is stimulus．Happiness is a response．A great paying job is stimulus．Happiness is a response．A loving relationship is stimulus．Happiness is a response．This belief leaves us thinking and feeling：“I’ll be happy when…”
    It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true．I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy．When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work．When we are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships．When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health．Happiness is not a response but a stimulus．
    Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day of our lives．For unknown reason to me, many choose to be painful, unsuccessful and angry most of the time．Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want—we usually get things we want AFTER we choose to be happy．
    61．From the second paragraph, we know too many people           .
    A．are not happy when they work hard
    B．are not happy when they drink or take drugs
    C．are happy when they possess their own expensive cars
    D．all desire exotic vacation homes
    62．Generally speaking, most people feel happy because          .
    A．they think happiness is rooted in their deep heats
    B．they get what they want to have
    C．they get a great paying job
    D．they get an expensive car
    63．Which f the following is right according to the author?
    A．If you want to get what you want, you first choose to be happy.
    B．We should try to get more and then we’ll be happy.
    C．Most people today are happy.
    D．Work is a necessary part in our daily life.
    64．From the viewpoint of the author, happiness is        .
    A．based on our needs   B．unconditional
    C．out of reach                 D．linited 
    61—64  CBAB
    文章大意：生活中，我们经常会有不快乐的时候。事实上，我们只有先快乐，才能得到我们自己想要的。
    61．C细节理解题。 第二段告诉我们：很多人喜欢投身于工作，许多人喜欢吸食毒品或者酗酒，因为他们觉得快乐，所以A、B两项错误；第二段还告诉我们：许许多多的人拥有了自己的昂贵的汽车后，他们就找到了快乐，所以C项正确。而D项与原文叙述不符，太绝对化。
    62．B推理判断题。 依据文章第四段可知，如今，人们都认为昂贵的轿车、高薪的工作都是一种刺激，而后才有了快乐，也就是说，他们得到了自己想要的东西，所以觉得快乐。A项说反了，C、D是B的具体表现形式。
    63．A细节理解题。依据最后两段可知A项正确，B正好与作者的观点相悖，C、D两项文章没有讨论到，所以不正确。
    64．B推理判断题。依据作者在最后三段的阐述，可知幸福是无条件的，觉得幸福你就会拥有你所想要的，而且还会超出你的想象，所以B项正确。

    In 1932, my father had to declare bankruptcy (破产). He was ashamed of it, but it came about because of his  36  heart.
    He had been in the milk business and every day he  37  milk to many homes. His route（线路）included many people  38  worked at the local steel company. Dad  39  delivering milk even when his customers were unable to  40  him.

As the evening went  49 , and children became bored with watching their parents  50 , they were often taken to our bedrooms.

    The Poplar Inn was  55  around 1953 to make way for a new highway. But if I stood there now, instead of hearing traffic, I think I’d hear music and the sound of people laughing.

    My first job was at a local diner, where I worked for seven years and learned so many lessons, especially from a fellow waitress.

    Being a waitress changed my life. One of my 45 customers was Fred Hasbrook. He always ate an omelet, and when I saw him 46 , I tried to have it on his table as soon as he sat down.

    When I was in junior high school, I was really a bad boy. My history teacher — Mr Oven criticized me a lot because I was naughty in his class. By the end of the first semester, I’d had enough of his words and had decided that I would get my revenge on him.
    The opportunity arose one morning when Mr. Oven was called to the office for a certain reason. While Mr. Oven left, my company Billy and I grabbed Mr. Oven’s lunch bag from under his desk. I opened his sandwich and placed a bug in between the two slices of bread. We put it back and closed it. To keep it in memory, Billy took photos of the whole process. We laughed for weeks over this.
    Well, it all went south during Thanksgiving break. Billy’s Mother found the pictures in his room, and demanded that he should tell her where these pictures were from. Billy told his mother the whole story, and Mr. Oven was informed. Not only was I punished from school for two weeks, but also I was kicked off the football and basketball team. Before I could return to school, I had to turn in a 1000-word essay on what I did and why I did that.

    Did you know it takes 21 days to form a good habit? Research shows that when you “stick to something” for three weeks you are more likely to reach your goals. This is important for language learners or anyone who wants to make a change.
    People who try something new often “fall off the wagon”. Whether it is a plan to lose weight or a decision to learn something, life often gets in the way. Those who make up their minds to learn English are more likely to succeed if they have a short-term goal at the beginning.
    How to make learning English a habit:
    Set a specific goal
    Example: Break up the four main skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) and plan to do one hour of practice in each area at the same time every day.
    Find a learning partner
    Choose a friend to keep you moving towards your goal. Your friend doesn’t need to be a language learner. He can be someone who wants to start exercising. He can be someone who wants to write a novel. It is best if you both have a goal.
    Write out how your life will change when you reach your goal
    If I improve my English, I will be able to get a better job.
    If I take the TOEFL test, I will be able to get into university.
    If I improve my pronunciation, my customers will understand me.
    Keep track of your progress
    Keep track of your effort in a notebook or online list. Share your progress list with your partner.
    When you reach 21 days, reward yourself! Go out for a dinner or a movie or buy yourself a treat. It will be easier to stay on your program now that you are in the habit. If you ever fall off again, put yourself back on the 21-day challenge.
    65. What can be inferred from the passage?
    A. Life sometimes makes people give up their plans or decisions.
    B. An English learner should find a language learner as a partner.
    C. A long-term goal is of importance in forming a good habit.
    D. It is necessary to spend an hour on each language skill every day.
    66. Why does the author advise an English learner to reward himself when he reaches 21 days?
    A. Because he should share his progress with his partner.
    B. Because he has had a good knowledge of English.
    C. Because he would put himself on another 21-day challenge.
    D. Because he has formed a good habit of learning English.
    67. The best title of the passage would be “________”.
    A. Taking 21 days to form a good habit
    B. A research on learning English
    C. Make learning English a habit
    D. Setting a goal in life

    Alone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A world of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the midday sun. Every- thing motionless. Not a sound from sky or earth. Complete silence. Only some coconuts falling, at long intervals, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation. Stretched out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs.
    Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!
    Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company. A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden, but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is restricted to hunted animals, slaves and modern man. It is as great an effort for an office clerk to walk five blocks with a loaded briefcase as it is for a jungle-dweller to cross a valley with a goat on his back. It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months. The body is strange. Spare it, and you get really tired for almost nothing; use it, and almost nothing makes you really tired.
    I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland plains, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.
    68.The author mentions “coconuts falling” in the first paragraph to ________.
    A. show his loneliness                                  B. add beauty to the jungle
    C. express his love of nature                      D. stress the absolute silence
    69.How does the author feel about the ant?
    A. He admired its attitude toward work.
    B. He was shocked at its tireless efforts.
    C. He showed sympathy for the little ant.
    D. He was content to have it as a companion.
    70.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author would probably _______.
    A. work harder than before                      B. talk to the man on the horse
    C. make his way home                                 D. stay in the valley

    　　Every willage has a founder.Tim Berners-Lee is the man who wrote the software programme that led to the foundation of the Word Wide Web.How did he get the idea? He tells us on his own web site. "One of the things computers were not able to do was store in formation from different sources. The dream behind the Web is of a common space in which we communicate by sharing information."
