    [1] Many people spend a lot of time making money because they believe the money itself will make them happy, or will guard them against things that will make them unhappy．They make great efforts to achieve that perfect relationship, the perfect house, the beautiful body, the approval of others, all in an attempt to be happy.
    [2] Sometimes these things make people happy; other times, people stress over not having reached the goals, or reach them and find they’re still unhappy．Other times, people focus on just one goal and don’t have time for other things that will make them truly happy.
    [3] Some experts studying human happiness and the factors that contribute to it have identified several key areas of life that seem to be more related to personal happiness．Some of them are the things like money, friends, health and living conditions; others are things you may not think of in your daily life, such as your neighborhood and sense of meaning in life.
    [4] So while setting your goals, remember all of the areas of life that are important to you and find a balanced lifestyle including social support, personal development, physical health and meaningful pursuits(追求) besides career success and financial security．_____________, your attitude about life and the things that happen to you each day can also have a great effect on your level of happiness and life satisfaction．In addition to being optimistic, happy people tend to believe they are the masters of their fate, rather than the victims of circumstance．
    [5] Explore the state of your life, assess how truly happy you are, and find a direction to work toward that will likely bring more happiness．Reach your goals, set new ones and live a life that truly makes you happy.

    Have you ever noticed advertisements which say “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks or your money back”?
    Of course, it never happens quite like that. The only language which is easy to learn is the native tongue. Before the Second World War people usually learnt a foreign language in order to read the literature of the nation. Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year millions of people start learning one. How can they do it?
    Some people try at home, with books or tapes; some use radio or television programs. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will take a long time. A few people have to learn a language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is easier to learn a language in the country where it is spoken in everyday life. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not nesessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and books will help. But they cannot do the students’ work for them.

    The famous American gorilla（大猩猩） expert Diane Fossey had a completely new way to study gorillas — she pretended to be one of them. She copied their actions and way of life — eating plants and getting down on her hands and knees to walk the way a gorilla does. It was a new relationship.
    Diane Fossey was murdered in Rwanda in 1985 and her story was made into the popular film Gorillas in the Mist. It was a long way from King Kong, which is about a gorilla as a monster （a frightening animal）, and helped to show a new idea: the real monster is man, while the gorilla is to be admired.
    Today there are thought to be around 48,000 lowland gorillas and maybe 400—450 mountain gorillas in the wild. From the Congo in West Africa, to Rwanda and Uganda further east, they are endangered by hunting and by the cutting down of their forest homes.
    Some time ago, I found in my letterbox a little magazine from the World Wide Fund for Nature. It had two photos side by side. One was of a young gorilla. “This is a species of mammal（哺乳类动物）,” said the words below it. “It is being destroyed by man. We must save it for our own good.” The other photo showed a human baby. The words also read, “This is a species of mammal,” but then went on: “It is the most destructive（破坏性的） on earth. We must retrain it for its own good.”
    56．The text mainly talks about _____.
    A. Diane Fossey              B. the gorillas in Rwanda
    C. the protection of the gorillas     D. the film Gorillas in the Mist
    57．We can learn from the text that _____.
    A. Gorillas in the mist was based Fossey’s experiences
    B. Lowland gorillas live longer than mountain gorillas
    C. King Kong showed us that a gorilla is admirable
    D. Diane Fossey was murdered by a gorilla
    58． What message can we get from the two photos in the magazine?
    A. Gorillas are man’s close friends.  
    B. Both man and the gorilla need to be saved.
    C. Young gorillas are as lovely as human babies.
    D. Man should live peacefully with the gorilla.

    When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office.
    “What are you doing home already?” I asked casually.
    “Andrew, I was laid off today.” he answered quietly.
    I was sure he was joking. “No, you weren’t. Why are you really home?”
    Then I noticed his seriousness and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career. Providing for our family has been his joy, and I guess I had taken his work for granted.
    My father’s unemployment created many changes in our lives. For starters, he was home all the time, which meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. I began to notice how down he seemed, and how losing his job had affected his self-esteem, though he tried to be optimistic. For the first time, I saw my dad as vulnerable. He asked my brother and me to spend less. I gave up my allowance, which even though it wasn’t much, felt like the right thing to do. I also found a part-time job.
    After several difficult months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction. He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it, and I admired how much time and energy he expended.
    One evening I asked if he needed help.
    “Only if it doesn't interfere with school,” he said.
    I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really impacted me. Although this was one of the worst experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity. Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can always find Plan B, ask for help, and take risks. What I have learned from my dad’s understanding of business and his work ethic are two of the most important lessons I will ever learn, and will be my foundations for success.
    1. The author’s father stayed at home because ________.
    A. he had to help with the author’s lesson
    B. he had been unemployed by his company
    C. heavy housework was waiting for him to do
    D. he wanted the author know the truth?
    2. What made the author know the truth?
    A. The box from his dad’s office                         B. His father’s words
    C. His father’s expression                                          D. Being informed by his family
    3. The author’s attitude toward his father’s former job was ________.
    A. unconcerned                      B. sympathy                 C. doubt                D. tolerance
    4. By saying “Only if it doesn't interfere with school”, the author’s father seemed ________.
    A. to refuse the author’s advice on the new business
    B. to show his discontent with the author’s schoolwork
    C. to have said yes to the author’s offer of help
    D. to be looking forward to the author’s good behavior at school
    5. It can be inferred from the text that ________.
    A. the author’s father was more optimistic to stay at home
    B. the author couldn’t put up with his dad’s own business
    C. the author’s father offered little allowance to the author
    D. the author benefited from his father on how to deal with adversity

    Accidents happen almost daily. Some accidents are minor and some are serious but others may be fatal. We read about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. It is wrong for people to think that accidents occur only on the roads or highways, or even at worksites. Home accidents are just as common. Because very few home accidents are reported, people tend to think that there are few accidents which happen in homes.
    There have been many cases where people fall to their deaths from high-rise flats. Children often fall from staircases while coming down the stairs. Old people may slip on wet or slippery floors if they are not careful.
    Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances such as rice-cookers, electric irons, and kettles which make life easy for the modern housewives. These appliances can kill if they are not used in the proper way.
    Gas stoves used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly handled. They may cause burns or, in more serious cases, they may even cause fires.
    But all such accidents can be prevented if we are careful and obey simple rules of safety. For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how. It is safer for them to get their faulty appliances repaired by a qualified electrician.                                       
    61. Accidents take place_______.
    A. mostly in homes                          B. mostly on roads and highways
    C. mostly on worksites and factories   D. almost everywhere

    A. They help modern housewives a lot.
