          Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do
    not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, " Happiness depends upon ourselves." In
    other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
         The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time
    thinking about future - for example, getting into college or getting a good job - that we fail to enjoy the
    present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite
    music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and
    healthier lives.
          Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget
    about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping
    others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel
    happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy
    food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

    1. The best title of the passage is ___________.

    A. Money Make You Happy                
    B. The Secrets of Happiness
    C. Ideas for Helping Other People to Be Happy  
    D. Good Friends Make You Happy

    2. The writer thinks that _____________

    A. everyone knows how to live a happier life
    B. it's wrong to spend time on work
    C. hobbies take up too much time
    D. doing good things for someone can make you happier.

    3. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?

    A. Reading a good book                
    B. Traveling to a foreign country
    C. Playing a sport                      
    D. Spending time with close friends
    1-3: BDB

         Most Americans get what money they have from their work；that is ,they earn an income from wages
    or salaries.The richest Americans,however,get most of their money from what they own-their stocks,
    bonds,real estate,and other forms of property,or wealth.Although there are few accurate statistics to go by,
    wealth in American society appears to be concentrated in very few hands.More than 20 percent of
    everything that can be privately owned is held by less than one percent of the adult population and more
    than 75 percent of all wealth is owned by 20 percent of American adults.The plain fact is that most
    Americans have no wealth at all aside from their homes,automobiles,and a small amount of savings.
         Income in the United States is not as highly concentrated as wealth.In 1917 the richest 10 percent of
    American families received 26 percent of all income,while the poorest 10 percent received 17 percent,
    mainly from Social Security and other government payments.The most striking aspect of income
    distribution is that it has not changed significantly since the end of World War ?.Although economic growth
    has roughly doubled real disposable(可自由使用的)family income(the money left after taxes and adjusted
    for inflation)over the last generation,the size of the shares given to the rich and the poor is about the same.
    By any measure economic inequality is great in the United States.
         The reality behind these statistics is that a large number of Americans are poor.In 1918,14 percent of
    the population was living below the federal government's poverty line,which at that time was an annual
    income of $9,287 for a nonfarm family of two adults and two children.In other words,about one out of
    seven Americans over 31 million people was officially considered unable to buy the basic necessities of
    food,clothes,and shelter.The suggested poverty line in 1981 would have been an income of about $11,200
    for a family of four.By this relative definition,about 20 percent of the population or more than 45 million
    Americans are poor.
    1．What does the majority of the Americans have in terms of wealth?
    A. Their income and savings.
    B. Everything they own in their homes.
    C. Actually,they have no wealth at all.
    D. Their house,cars and small amounts of savings
    2．What is the percentage of wealth that is in the hands of most Americans?
    A. More than 25%.  
    B. Less than 25%.
    C. More than 75%.  
    D. Less than 20%.
    3．Why is economic inequality still great in the US in spite of the economic growth?
    A. Because the proportion of income received by the rich and the poor remains almost the same as in
          1917.
    B. Because the economic growth has widened the gap of the family income between the rich and the
          poor.
    C. Because income in the US is still concentrated in the hands of the richest 10% of American families.
    D. Because some Americans made great fortunes during the Second World War.
    4．What can we learn from comparison of the two poverty lines in the last paragraph?
    A. The poverty line of 1918 is more favorable to the poor than that of 1981.
    B. The 1981 line didn't leave much to the poor.
    C. There were more Americans who were officially poor by the 1981 line.
    D. There were more Americans who were officially poor by the 1918 line

        Most shops in Britain open at 9:00am, and close at 5:00 or 5:30 in the evening. Small shops usually
    close for an hour at lunchtime. On one or two days a week-usually Thursday and/or Friday-some large
    food shops stay open until about 8:00 pm for late night shopping.
        Many shops are closed in the afternoon on one day a week. The day is usually Wednesday or
    Thursday and it is a different day in different towns.
         Nearly all shops are closed on Sundays. Newspaper shops are open in the morning, and sell sweets
    and cigarettes as well. But not all the things can be sold on Sundays.
         Usually it is not difficult for foreign visitors to find where to buy things. Most shops sell the things that
    you want to buy. One problem is stamps. In Britain you can only buy these at post offices. Many large
    food shops are self-service. When you go into one of these shops, you take a basket and you put the
    things you wish to buy into this. You pay for everything just before you leave. If anyone tries to take
    things from a shop without paying, they are almost certain to be caught, because most shops have
    detectives.
         When you are waiting to be served in a shop, it is important not try to be served before people who
    arrive before you. Many foreign people are surprised at the British way of queuing (排队).

         Most of us lead unhealthy lives; we spend far too much sitting down. If in addition we are careless
    about our diets, our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slow moving. There are some
    aspects(方面) of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils.
    The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other.
    While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.
         For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports-and it is especially difficult to do so if you
    are not good at them-there are such separate activities as cycling, walking, jogging and swimming. What often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.
         Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics, you are still only
    half way to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete
    mental and physical relaxation(放松). It has to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation, and so on. Yoga, as practiced in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. It seems ironical (讽刺性的), though, that as our lives
    have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of
    activity-physical effort on the one hand and relaxation on the other-which were the natural way of life of
    our forefathers.
    1. Pollution, noise and stress are examples of _____.
    A .causes of unfitness    
    B. bad features of living in towns
    C. the things we can completely do away with  
    D. unavoidable things in town
    2.We don't get much out of separate sports because we _____.
    A. don't do them very often        
    B. don't do them actively enough
    C. find it hard to get out of our armchairs
    D. don't find them interesting
    3.To be healthy we must _____.
    A. keep fit and active
    B. keep fit and learn to relax
    C. be active and practise Yoga    
    D. have a sound mind
    4.Our forefathers were healthy because_____.
    A. their way of life closely connected with both exercise and relaxation
    B. they were careful to get plenty of fresh air
    C. they spent most of the time out of doors
    D. their environment was not polluted
