16.How will traditional print media forge a working relationship with news websites in the digital age?This is a question that both sides need to consider from a long-term viewpoint.
The conviction(定罪) of a software developer for going against the property rights of the Beijing News by using what the newspaper had published on its iPad service reveals only a tip of the iceberg when it comes to the illegal use of print media's content by news websites.In this case,the software developer used content published by 60 papers without their knowledge.
The Beijing News won the case and the intellectual property rights violator was ordered to pay 100,000 yuan in compensation.If anything,this can be considered a minor victory for the Beijing News,compared to its three similar suits over the past decade.
Yet,the Beijing News is alone in the fight.Other media outlets choose to turn a blind eye to the piracy because they wouldn't bother to take the lot of time and energy for the lawsuit with a likely compensation that might not be enough to cover the costs for winning the case.
Considering this situation,print media and news websites must work out a way to cooperate in a manner that will benefit both.
In the long run,it will be impossible and impractical for news websites to live on print media.With the progress protecting intellectual property rights in recent years,there will be no way for them to use the content free of charge all the time.They must find a way to cooperate with traditional print media in such a way that they can legally use their resources.
For the part of print media outlets,they must rise up to protect their rights for their own existence.There should be an environment to make it very costly for whoever threatens intellectual property rights.Then most print media organizations could afford to bring violators to court.On the other hand,costly,time-consuming and troublesome as such suits are,more print media must rise up so that more pressure will put on both the violators and the courts.Then they will be able to improve the environment for themselves and break the illegal cycle.

56.How many suits has Beijing News ever lodged(提起)?C
A.Only one.
B.Exactly three.
C.At least four.
D.More than five.
57.Which of the following can be a reason for there to be few such suits?B
A.The court doesn't pay much attention to such boring suits as usually last a long time.
B.Print media outlets don't think it worth thei r efforts.
C.Engineers on the news websites are usually far cleverer to win such cases.
D.There are few examples of winning such suits.
58.Why does the author insist that more news media should rise up?C
A.They can receive a certain compensation for their intellectual property rights.
B.They should try their best to trouble the courts with more pressure.
C.Their joint efforts can lead to a better environment for their own existence.
D.The piracy of the news websites is no longer tolerable.
59.What's probably the meaning of the underlined word"violator"in the third paragraph?D
A.Somebody who makes a lot of money against the law.
B.Somebody who keeps something secret from others.
C.A person who is determined to publish news illegally.
D.A person who does something against the law.

13.SCIENTISTS study it;an increasing number of self-help books tell us the way to find it.In fact,the pursuit of happiness has been called the ultimate goal in life by countless talks,TV shows and newspaper and magazine columns.However,happiness,as it was before,is still hard to find.
US psychologist Ed Diener,author of Happiness:Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth,may have the answer:"a combination of life satisfaction and having more positive than negative emotions".However,this may sound straightforward enough,but it still doesn't explain what determines people's happiness.And as The Washington Post argued in an article earlier this month,creating a definition of happiness that is true for people around the world can seem as difficult as being happy.For example,who is happier:someone who has enough money to buy a new mobile phone or someone who has a family dinner after years away from home?
Nevertheless,as many surveys suggest,one of the most important parts of happiness is wealth.The UN's World Happiness Report 2015 shows that countries with the highest levels of happiness are developed ones,with Switzerland,Iceland and Denmark making up the top three.But on the other hand,Bhutan,one of the poorest countries in the world,was named the happiest country in Asia and the eighth happiest in the world in research by Business Week in 2012.
Perhaps the biggest problem is how the idea of"happiness"varies in different cultures and languages.
As The Washington Post noted,the word"happy"can refer to different things in English.It might mean a brief mood you feel when someone surprises you with a gift or you think of friends and family.Or it could refer to satisfaction with your life.But not all languages refer to happiness the same way.In Danish,for example,happiness is often translated as"lykke",a term that can describe everyday well-being that might come from a nice cup of coffee or a slice of bread with cheese.In Chinese,the word for happiness is xingfu,which is used to describe a good life and a life with meaning.For a good mood,however,kuaile is used more often.
Another difference in the perception of happiness,as The Washington Post put it,is that Western countries tend to have quite an"individualistic view of human life".In China and many other Asian countries,social relationships,with family in particular,are one of the most important factors in a person's well-being.
So,are you happy?And what makes you happy?

32.What does"happiness"in Chinese mean according to the article?D
A.Individualistic view of human life.
B.Everyday well-being.
C.A combination of satisfaction.
D.A good life with meaning.
33.How do Chinese people and people from Western countries view happiness differently?C
A.Wealth is regarded as the most important source of happiness in Western countries.
B.Social interaction plays a more important role in a person's well-being in Western countries than in China.
C.Family bonds are believed to be closely connected to a person's well-being in China.
D.Chinese people get more happiness from their personal achievements than people from Western countries do.
34.How is the article mainly developed?A
A.By giving examples.
B.By analyzing cause and effect.
C.By following the order of time.
D.By asking and answering questions.
35.Which one is true according to the article?B
A.It is harder to find happiness than ever.
B.All languages don't look at happiness in the same way.
C.It's safe to say that happiness lies in wealth.
D.It's not hard to give a universal definition of happiness across the world.

17.Do you have a business brain?Are you always looking for the next big idea?Maybe,like me,you might feel setting up a new company is something you might do when you're older,when you have more experience.But that's not always the case.
While some of us may feel young adulthood is a time of uncertainly finding our place in the world,sleeping late and partying hard,others are already on a path to great business success.Take the founder of Microsoft,Bill Gates,who started his company as a young university student at Harvard in the US.There are many other examples of young entrepreneurs (企业家) who have become hugely successful,proving that there's no minimum age to becoming top dog.
But to be the next business executive requires effort.You need to acquire a keen mind and good business intelligence and above all,you need enthusiasm.Starting a new business comes with an element of risk but if you are able to spot the next big idea,it's probably worth giving it a try.Jessica Rose owns a jewelry making business and admits that"when I first started I had no business training but when I woke up one day,I thought I'd really love to be a jewelry designer."She went on to be a successful young entrepreneur.
Being young and in business does have its drawbacks; you may worry you have nothing to bring to the table and that the people who work for you tend to be older and wiser.That's what young British entrepreneur Suleman Sacranie found.He started his third business while studying chemistry at university.He says"now I've got two additional directors who have grey hair"but when they first started he says he could tell they were thinking in the back of their heads,"I've got a kid sitting in front of me."
You may think setting up a new start-up is easier said than done.As well as ideas,you need financial backing and expert guidance.But if you're studying hard at university and don't have the desire to go into business and make your fortune,keep on studying-an education is priceless!

29.At the very beginning,what's the author's attitude to the necessity of being aged and experienced in setting up a new company?A
A.Supportive.
B.Negative.
C.Impersonal.
D.Critical.
30.The author takes Jessica Rose for example in order to show thatB.
A.doing business needs great effort
B.enthusiasm is more important than a keen mind
C.business training is not necessary
D.it is easy to set up a new business
31.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?C
A.Older directors shouldn't be employed if you are young.
B.Age plays an important role in setting up new business.
C.If you don't intend to set up business,just focus on your study.
D.Education is more valuable than setting up a business.

9.My parents are amazing.I had the most wonderful childhood,and it's not because I had everything I wanted or because I was a cool kid.I have learned a lot about parenting from what my parents did.Here are a few gems (珍宝) that I use now or plan to use in the future with my two boys.
Here's how a conversation often went when I was a kid.Usually it was around 4:30p.m.I said,"I'm hungry.Can I have a cookie?"My mom answered,"No.Have a banana.""I don't want a banana.""Then you're not hungry."Sometimes I was angry about it,but I knew that was good for me.Thanks mom for not letting me eat junk food (垃圾食品).Now I agree with my mother and I have this same conversation with my three-year-old son.I hope it helps him form healthy diet habits.
I know many of us heard this as children."If everyone jumped off a bridge,would you do it,too?"If our kids asked for something just because everyone else had it or was doing it,we often got this response.It was the perfect response,and we soon learned not to ask for things because everyone else had it,but because it was something we wanted.
I will always be thankful that my parents let us try the things that interested us,not the things they wanted to push us into.This helped me try swimming,dance,and the piano before second grade.I found a love-singing-and kept up with that through my college years.It drives me crazy,as a mom and teacher,when I see kids who are pushed into their parents'favorite activities,even when they don't have a passion for them.
29.What are the gems in the writer's mind?B
A.Her parents'knowledge.
B.Her parents'educational methods.
C.Her parents'love.
D.Her parents'personalities.
30.Why does the writer mention the conversation with her mother in Paragraph 2?D
A.To show her mother was so strict with her.
B.To stress the importance of healthy diet habits.
C.To show her mother was not concerned about her.
D.To show how her mother helped her develop healthy diet habits.
31.The response from the writer's parents in Paragraph 3is mainly used toA.
A.refuse their kid's same request
B.meet their kid's right request
C.tell their kid not to be in danger   
D.tell the good from the bad
32.Which of the following may be supported by the writer?D
A.The children must do what their parents want them to.
B.The children can do anything that they want to.
C.The children must do what is useful to society.
D.The children can try the things that interest them.
