Millions of stars are travelling about in space. A few form groups which travel together, but most of them travel alone.
And they travel through a universe which is so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most important part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbour. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near it.
We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering(漫游) through space, happened to come near our sun just as the sun and the moon raised its tides(潮汐) on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; A large tidal(潮汐的) wave must have travelled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and thrown off small parts of itself into space.
These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets.
小题1:Most stars are _________________________.| A．following a regular path in space | | B．moving about without a fixed course | | C．seldom wandering about in the universe | | D．always travelling together |
小题2:Some two thousand years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because _____________.| A．the star moved away from the sun | | B．another star happened to come near the sun | | C．the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earth | | D．a large tidal of wave travelled over the surface of the sun |
小题3:The article suggests that _______________.| A．how space formed | | B．our earth exists before the sun | | C．no one knows where the earth comes from | | D．our earth used to be a high mountain in the sun |
小题4:The expression “the cause of the disturbance” refers to ________.| A．the large tidal wave | B．the powerful tidal pull | | C．the star coming near the sun | D．one of sun’s planets |
小题5: In the article, the writer mainly wants to tell us ______________.| A．where the planets in the universe came from | | B．how the high mountains were formed on the sun | | C．that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine it | | D．why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerful |

Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don’t bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.
Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can’t be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value(重视) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.
Here are a few ways 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 the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we don’t 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 close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.
The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.
Now maybe you know how to find happiness!
小题1: The underlined word “wealthy” means “__________” in the article.| A．pleased | B．healthy | C．excited | D．rich |
小题2: Some people who hold a high position in the government think they can _________.| A．get money and something they can’t buy with money | | B．do what they want to do at any time | | C．enjoy health which makes them work hard | | D．take an active part in all kinds of activities every day |
小题3: The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people ___________.| A．think about getting a good job | B．think of presents they don’t like | | C．often spend time with close friends | D．often spend time on entering the college |
小题4: Many people find it happy to ___________.| A．remember the old days and troubles | B．do some meaningful things for others | | C．go shopping to buy some food | D．make much money and little success |
小题5:The passage mainly tells us __________.| A．how to find happiness | B．how to save happiness | | C．to do something good for others | D．to value our beliefs or health |

Passage 1 Mobile Phone Madness
How much do you love your mobile phone? A Chinese student had to call 110 for help this week after he got his arm stuck in a toilet trying to rescue(援救) his mobile phone. After dropping his phone in the toilet, he decided to wrap(包，裹) his arm in newspaper in the hopes of keeping clean. But the newspapers became larger in size in the water, and then even his roommates couldn’t help him pull his arm out. So policemen were called and they spent an hour unsticking the stuck student.

But would they spend 7,000 English pounds (68,000 yuan) on a wedding(婚礼) for their pets? And that’s what a couple in Brazil spent on a fancy wedding for their pet Yorkshire terriers( a kind of dog).
Passage 3 Oh, rats!
