    I seldom thought I had a passion. I would sit before the TV all day, thinking 1. nothing but the next shadow. It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion is to life.

    But he man wasn’t sitting down with a sad 5. (express). He had a radio in his hand and was dancing 6. (merry) to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious thing 7. he had.

    “Mum, why does that man have a radio even though he’s homeless?” I asked.

    “He bought 8.,” she replied.

    “But if he’s homeless, why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn’t need.”

    “Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t 9. only important things. We need happiness, too.”

    “I see.” The man must care too much about music, so he bought a radio instead of food and clothes. I realized that happiness is the key to life. 10. it, there’s nothing to look forward to. A passion gives a person the happiness they need to keep going!

    Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy – they’re given after all. Choices can be hard.

    I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I’d always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.

    I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision not to try at all.

    After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.

    1.What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?

    A. His dream of being an inventor.

    B. The support of his wife.

    C. The greatly increasing usage of the Internet.

    D. Millions of exciting titles.

    2.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?

    A. The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him.

    B. He would be very excited if he tried it out.

    C. He would be always having a doubt if he didn’t try.

    D. The decision not to try the online bookstore would terrify him.

    3.We can know from the passage that _______.

    A. the boss thought the idea was suitable for the author

    B. the author wanted someone else to try the idea

    C. the author might not regret if he failed the idea

    D. the author might go back to his boss if he failed

    4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

    A. Cleverness and Kindness B. The Starting of Amazon

    C. Following My Passion D. We Are What We Choose

    I believe children have a very pure sense of humor. Well, I would like to share my experiences with you.

    On holidays you’re likely to eat and overeat between family gatherings and office parties. 1. Here are some tips to help you enjoy holiday food without completely changing your diet:

    Not only do smaller dishes fill up faster,but the same size help look like more food when it’s on a small dish. 2. But whatever the size of your plate,it’s most important to remember to keep it balanced:half for vegetables,a quarter for grains and a quarter for lean meat.

    For a long time, the traditional method of identifying liars was to watch their body language, including facial expressions.

    What if the person appears to be nervous? Is the person unable to look me in the eye? Is he or she look around the room? What about other nervous movements, such as fidgeting（坐立不安）or shifting from side to side? Many people—from parents to police officers and airport security personnel—depend on this method. But does a person’s body and face reveal the truth? Not according to a new study.

    Talking, it seems, is the best way to smoke out a liar. That is what researchers in the United Kingdom found out recently. Their investigation took place at one place where lying can get you into big trouble—an airport.

    The researchers asked volunteers to pretend they were real passengers and then lie to airport security agents. Some of the agents used spoke conversation-based methods to question these make-believe passengers. Others depended instead on the person’s body language, like lack of eye contact and showing signs of nervousness. The agents talking with the passengers were 20 times more likely to catch the liars. The study found that these conversation-based techniques can help you recognize when a person is lying to you. Like many methods, this conversation method has a name. It is called Controlled Cognitive Engagement or CCE, for short.

    The British government partly financed this study. The American Psychological (APA) published the findings. Body language cannot be trusted. Using body language and facial expressions to catch someone in a lie is really hard. And it only works, seemingly, by chance.

    Thomas Ormerod is the head of the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex in England. On the APA website, he reported that the “suspicious-signs method”—or using body language—“almost completely fails” in finding lies.

    1.What are the questions in Paragraph 2 intended to do?

    A. Show traditional ways to recognize a liar.

    B. Launch a survey among readers.

    C. Show the writer’s puzzlement.

    D. Invite the readers to think twice.

    2.What should volunteers in the investigation do?

    A. Answer questions only using words.

    B. Pretend to be airport security agents.

    C. Act as passengers as researchers required.

    D. Communicate with researchers by talking.

    3.Which would be the best way to find out a liar according to the study?

    A. Looking him in the eye.

    B. Asking open-ended questions.

    C. Making use of body language.

    D. Observing his facial expression.

    4.What will the author continue to talk about based on the passage?

    A. Misunderstandings of catching a liar.

    B. The “suspicious-signs” method.

    C. How the CCE method works.

    D. The new concept of CCE.
