    Teenagers at one German school are learning how to achieve happiness alongside other traditional subjects such as math and languages. The class sit in a circle with their eyes shut and they count from one to ten: someone starts, the next voice comes from the far right, a third from the other side.

    The aim of the game is to listen for an opportunity to shout out the number without clashing (冲突) with another voice or leaving a pause. On the first try, most of the young Germans try to be first, while a few are too shy to join in, but by the fifth time round, they develop a rhythm (节奏).The message: give other people space but also confidently claim your own. This is a requirement for social well-being.

    The Willy Hellpach School in Heidelberg is the first in the nation to develop a happiness course.

    It is intended for students preparing for university entrance exams.

    “The course isn’t there to make you happy,” Ernst Fritz-Schubert, the school principal, warned pupils, “but rather to help you discover the ways to become happy.”

    Cooking a meal together is one of the class exercises. Improving body language under the guidance of two professional actresses is another.

    The course is taught for three periods a week. Although it’s the happy subject, the pupils themselves insist it is no laughing matter.

    “In the first period, we had to each say something positive about another member of the class and about ourselves. No laughing at people,” said Fanny, 17.

    Research by the school shows it is not the first to start happiness classes: they also exist at some US universities, mainly based on positive thinking, using findings from studies of depression.

    1.What’s the writing purpose of this passage?

    A. To describe all the traditional courses.

    B. To introduce the happiness course.

    C. To develop the readers’ interest in happiness.

    D. To help students struggle against being sad.

    2.According to the passage, the happiness course is ________.

    A. created by the Willy Hellpach School

    B. to make all the students happy all the time

    C. required to be taken by the first year students

    D. to help students discover the way to happiness

    3.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

    A. the students’ self-respect can also improve happiness

    B. the students just took the course as a laughing matter

    C. the students can certainly become happy after the course

    D. the students waste time learning something without value

    Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father. “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.”

    Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt — a mistake 75% of the US people make every day. The big question is why.

    There have been many myths（虚构故事）about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common myths.

    Myth Number One: It’s best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.

    Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are that you’ll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃) or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater if people are “thrown clear.”

    Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.

    Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.

    Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour.

    Truth: when two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.

    1.The reason why Father got home in a hurry was that he ________.

    A. wasn’t feeling very well

    B. wanted to take some exercise

    C. hated to drive in the dar

    D. didn't want to be caught by the police

    2.According to the text, to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident is very dangerous because you________.

    A. may be knocked down by other cars

    B. may get caught in the car door

    C. may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the car

    D. may find it impossible to get away from the seat

    3.Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe ________ .

    A. cars catch fire easily

    B. they will be caught when help comes

    C. they will be unable to think clearly in an accident

    D. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident

    4.What is the advice given in the text?

    A. Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.

    B. Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.

    C. Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt.

    D. Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.
