    I grew up in Malaysia. Since we did not have many toys, we used rubber bands (橡皮筋) to make a jump rope. Three years ago, when my daughters Michelle and Theresa were 9 and 12 years old, they were making bracelets (手环) using rubber bands. It struck me that I knew how to do that. I like to impress my daughters and show them that their dad is cool, so I tried it too. To my surprise, I couldn’t work with the bands because my fingers were too big.

    Since I studied engineering, I decided to come up with a solution (解决办法). I ran down to my basement and found a piece of wooden board, some pushpins and hooks (图钉和钩子). With the help of these things, I managed to make a bracelet. One of my daughters said, “Wow, that’s cool, but I can make it by hand.” So I started to put two, three, four, five rows together. I crossed the bands into diamond patterns using rainbow colors, which is how the Rainbow Loom (彩虹织机) got its name.

    My daughters were so excited that they showed the bracelets to their friends. We started to get requests for them. But they were still difficult to make. I thought, “If I can make a small, easy-to-use loom, I’m onto something big.” It took six months and a lot of support from my kids to perfect the idea.

    I tried to sell the loom by making videos about how to use it and taking my daughters to stores to show it. Many store owners thought it might be too difficult to use. For a year, we sold it only on our website. When it became popular with kids, it got noticed by toy stores.

    It is so exciting that a simple idea my kids and I came up with together at our living-room table has become a nationwide fad.

    1.The author tried to show his daughters how to make bracelets but _____.

    A. was refused B. regretted

    C. failed D. was misunderstood

    2.The author made up his mind to find a method of _____.

    A. making bracelets

    B. using a jump rope

    C. impressing his daughters

    D. inventing the Rainbow Loom

    3.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to _____.

    A. looms B. bracelets

    C. friends D. rainbows

    4.What did store owners think of the author’s invention at first?

    A. They thought highly of it.

    B. They had a long wait for it.

    C. They showed a great interest in it.

    D. They thought there was no market for it.

    There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.

    People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.

    Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people hurt many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

    1. People who are unhappy _______.

    A. always consider things differently from others

    B. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things

    C. usually misunderstand what others think or say

    D. usually are affected by the results of certain things

    2. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_______”.

    A. makes others unhappy

    B. has a good taste with social life

    C. tend to scold others openly

    D. enjoy the pleasure of life

    3. We can conclude from the passage that _______.

    A. we should pity all such unhappy people

    B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life

    C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness

    D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons
