Life is just like a box. Inside it are happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in it teach us new lessons and make us a better person.
Love
Love plays a key role on our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel and violent. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care. They tell us what is right or wrong, good or bad. 1. . It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to the feelings of others. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others gives a certain level of fulfillment. 2. . No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.
Failure and Success
3. . It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way.
Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. 4. , because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same. We have only one choice—keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be right or dull. 5. , so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
A. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour
B. So the only alternative is work hard today
C. But we always tend to take this for granted
D. Success lies in trusting yourself
E. So let’s enjoy every day
F. Failure is the path to success
G. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness
1.C
2.G
3.F
4.A
5.B
【解析】
试题分析：本文写了人生，成功，爱等一系列的话题，教会我们怎样面对成功与失败，和父母对我们的爱。
1.C考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。由文中They tell us what is right or wrong, good or bad. . It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to the feelings of others. 可知他们教我们分辨好坏，只有在我们结婚以后有了孩子才能理解他们的感受，可以推理出我们当时并不懂父母的感受，我们认为那是理所当然的，所以C正确。
2.G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。由后文提到了No mind is happy without peace.可知G正确。
3.F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。由前文Failure and Success可知后文写的应是失败与成功之间的关系，所以选F。
4.A考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。由前后文Hope builds in patience. , because after every night there is a day可知，希望是建立在耐心的基础上的，因为明天又是新的一天，可以推理出此处应是嘴低沉的时光，所以选A。
5. , so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.明天是未知的，不管是否正确，我们要做的是相信自己，我们才能拥有一个更好的明天，所以选B。

Many songs, poems, and books have been written on love’s strong effect on people. The state of being in love has even been compared to being sick or mad. A study by Professor Semir Zeki of University College London has found that love does affect people’s brains by making them feel great.
Zeki studied young men and women who had recently fallen in love. He found that, when they were looking at photos of their loved ones, there was heightened activity in four areas of their brains. These areas deal with emotions, and one of them, in particular, is known to respond to drugs that cause feelings of great joy and excitement.
Interestingly, the study also found a lack of activity in two other areas of the brain when the volunteers looked at their lovers’ photographs. One of these areas is linked to feelings of sadness, while the other is often active in people suffering from depression. It seems love really can be uplifting.
The state of being in love, according to some scientists, may actually be good for your health. Although scientists know that being in love can make a person feel great, the exact influence of love on a person’s health is harder to determine. However, scientists say that people do need love in order to live healthy lives.
According to Dr. Thomas Lewis, people need to be in relationships because that is how we are designed. He says the brain can only maintain(保持) the overall stability of a person’s immune(免疫) system, bodily rhythms, and heart if it receives input(输入) from outside the body in the form of emotional connections with others.
Professor Antonio Damasio has a similar view. He says that love enriches a person’s imagination and creativity, and makes a person’s body work better. He also believes that love can even improve the body’s ability to fight against disease. Damasio’s wise words of advice are “ Choose love and you will live longer.”
1.What is the main idea of this passage ? __________.
A. love can really cause people active
B. love has an effect on songs and books
C. love is linked with emotion
D. love is what we need
2.What does the underlined word “uplifting” mean? It means __________.
A. inspiring B. available C. cold D. mad
3.From the passage we can conclude that__________.
A. People write songs, poems and books to say love is the sweetest thing
B. nobody but Professor Semir Zeki has understood love does affect people’s brains
C. being in love sometimes may make someone act as if he/ she were mad
D. love causes heightened activity in all areas of a person’s brains
4.Which of the following statements is not true?
A. Some scientists have the idea that love does good to people.
B. It is possible for scientists to decide how much influence love can give people.
C. People are born to be in need of getting on touch with each other.
D. A person’s health depends on partly on emotional connections with others.

科目：高中英语 来源：2015年高考原创英语预测卷 01（广东卷） 题型：阅读理解
A
While reading a story on 20-somethings complaining about how the economy is ruining their life plans, I couldn't help but think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children who grow up expecting everything to be easy for them. As a 20-something myself, I certainly share their disappointment –my husband and I probably won't be able to buy a house until we're in our forties, and we two are burdened by student loans. But why should it be different? Being young people in America, shouldn't they take up all of the challenges and opportunities that this country offers?
Consider some of these views shared in the story: Jennifer, 29, owner of a two-bedroom apartment with her husband, worries that she won't be able to have children for at least a decade because they can't afford to buy a house yet.
I read that, and I thought what planet she is living on where you need to own a house in order to have kids? Has she ever visited a developing country, or even downtown areas in this one? Home ownership is a luxury（奢华）, not a fertility requirement.
A 26-year-old man in the story is disappointed that he can't afford to get a Ph. D. in literature. Well, that sounds a bit like expressing disappointment that no one will pay you to write poetry on the beach in Thailand for five years.
Yes, it's sad that these young people feel so lost. But I think the problem is their extremely high expectations, not economic reality. Beth Kobliner, author of Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties, says that she thinks people's expectations grow up when their wealth appears to be increasing. Their parents probably see their home values rise along with their investments. "So we have people who have grown up in an environment where people have great expectations of what living well means," says Kobliner.
This recession（经济衰退） will certainly play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group. In the meantime, it seems much better for our mental health to focus on being grateful—for our one-bedroom apartments, for living in modern cities, or perhaps just for being able to eat three meals a day—than on longing for some kind of luxurious life.
1.In the passage, the writer mainly talked about _____.
A. young people’s high expectations result in their disappointment
B. the 20-somethings' high expectations and ambitions
C. the poor living conditions of the 20-somethings
D. the necessity of receiving high education
2.In the writer’s opinion, what is the reason for young people’s dissatisfaction?
A. The declining economy.
B. Their high expectations.
C. Poor living conditions.
D. Their constant failure.
3.What are some young people complaining about?
A. They are complaining their aims are hard to achieve.
B. They are complaining their parents can’t give them a good education.
C. They are complaining they can’t afford to travel abroad.
D. They are complaining poor economic condition is ruining their life.
4.How can we describe the writer?
A. Lost and disappointed. B. Passive and stressed.
C. Determined and helpful. D. Positive and grateful.
5.The passage is developed mainly by ________.
A．facts and descriptions
B．comparison and persuasion
C．examples and explanation
D．figures and conclusion
