阅读理解。     To some people, happiness is something to do with simplicity, and it is the ability to extract pleasure
from the simplest things-such as a peach stone (桃核). It is obvious that it has nothing to do with success.
     For Sir Henry Stewart, it was certainly successful. I remember some ten years ago when he was made King"s Counsel, Amos and I went to congratulate him.We smiled happily; he merely looked as miserable
as though he"d received a punishment. He took his success as a child does his medicine. And not one of his achievements brought even a sign of a smile to his tired eyes.
     I asked him one day what it was like to achieve all one"s ambitions.He looked down at his roses and
went on watering them.Then he said, "The only value in achieving one"s ambitions is that you then realize
that they are not worth achieving."
     Yesterday, I was passing his house and he called me,"Come and see, Jan.Look! I have done it at last!" There he was, holding a small box of earth in his hand.I observed three tiny shoots out of it.
     "And there were only three!" he said, his eyes laughing to heaven.
     "Three what?" I asked.
     "Peach stones," he replied. "I"ve always wanted to make peach stones grow, even since I was a child,
when I used to take them home after a party, or as a man after a banquet. And I used to plant them, and
then forgot where I planted them. But now at last I have done it. I had only three stones, and three shoots," he counted.
     Then Sir Henry ran off, calling for his wife to come and see his achievement-his achievement of
simplicity.1. From what fact could we see Sir Henry was successful?A. He felt happy from the simplest things.
B. He was made King"s Counsel.
C. He was able to make the peach stones shoot.
D. He didn"t take his success seriously.2. The author compares Sir Henry"s attitude towards his success to a child"s taking medicine _____.A. to show that Sir Henry felt miserable when he was promoted
B. to prove that Sir Henry didn"t want to be successful
C. to suggest that Sir Henry"s future job would be hard to do
D. to tell us that Sir Henry took his success as a tiny thing in his life3. According to Sir Henry Stewart, the value in achieving one"s ambitions is _____.A. that he discovers it valueless
B. that he finds it worth his efforts
C. that he has achieved it
D. that he fails to realize it4. The writer"s opinion about Sir Henry"s attitude towards success is _____.A. criticism

阅读理解     Age plays a major part in people who are infected with cold, ie, in people who suffer from cold
infection.A study done by University of Michigan, has shown information that seems to be true for
the general population.Babies are the most cold infected group, generally more than six colds in their
first year.Boys have more colds than girls up to the age of three.After three, girls are easier to get
infected with cold than boys, and teenage girls get three colds a year to boys" two.The general cold
infections continue to get less into adults.Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one
or two colds every year.One interesting thing is found among people in their twenties, especially
women, who show a rise in cold infection, because people in this age group are most likely to have
young children.
      The study has also found that economy plays an important role as well.With more and more
income, the frequency at which colds are reported in the family is getting lower and lower.Families
with the lowest income usually sufferabout a third ally forces people to live in rooms more crowded
than rooms owned by richer people, and the crowding usually leads to more chances for the cold
virus to travel from person to person.Low income may also have an effect on our diet.Many scientists
believe that a poorer diet usually leads into more possibilities of cold infection.

阅读理解     During my high school years, the most important thing was what I was wearing to the Friday night
dance and who I was taking. Although college was talked about, it was the least of my worries.
     When I was graduating eighth grade and starting high school, my older brother was graduating
twelfth grade and going onto college. For my graduation, he gave me a card in which he wrote, "Enjoy
your four years. . . They go by fast." I remember not believing him then, but looking back. . . He was
right. Those four years shaped who I was as a person, pushed me to my limit and encouraged me to
become an adult.
     However, I was so completely absorbed in my junior and senior years of high school, that when
someone spoke of college I brushed it off. I wasn"t ready to leave my comfort zone of having all of my
closest friends together and knowing what every single day was going to be like. Studying was something
I did only AFTER I nailed my halftime dance performance. I knew my parents wanted me to go to
college, so I told them I would go to community college (社区学院) and I didn"t worry about my SAT
(美国大学入学考试) scores.
     When my senior year passed and everyone graduated and went off to their own colleges, I started to
wish I had done the same. My friends were living away, meeting new people, and discovering new
places, while I was living at home and driving to and from class every day. It seemed exactly like high
school. I hated it!I thought college was supposed to be different!Why didn"t I take more time to
research colleges and do the same?I ended up loving college and wishing I had four years to enjoy the
campus (大学校园) atmosphere instead of two.
     My advice to anyone thinking about attending college is to think about it very seriously and look into
all of your choices well ahead of time. Now I have graduated and I am working fulltime and I would do
anything to go back to my high school days for a second chance!1. Why didn"t the author worry about his SAT scores?A. He wanted to go to community college.
B. He had been admitted for his gift in dance.
C. He was well prepared for the exam.
D. He believed his brother would help him. 2. When in high school, the author________. A. drove to and from class every day
B. buried himself in his study all the time
C. enjoyed talking about future college life
D. lived in the school except on holidays 3. What did the author"s brother mean by "Enjoy your four years. . . They go by fast."?A. He wished the author to have more dance.
B. He advised the author to value the years.
C. He encouraged the author to leave his comfort zone.
D. He suggested the author aim at a community college. 4. Talking of his high school years, the author feels________. A. regretful
B. lonely
C. angry
D. pleased

阅读理解Dear Reader,
     Today I am going to ask you to support Wikipedia with a donation.
      Wikipedia is built differently from almost every other top 50 website.We have a small number of paid
staff,just twentythree.Wikipedia content is free to use by anyone for any purpose.Our annual expenses are less than six million dollars.Wikipedia is run by the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation,which I founded in
2003.
      Wikipedia is driven by a global community of more than 150,000 volunteers-all devoted to sharing
knowledge freely.Over almost eight years,these volunteers  have  contributed  more  than 11 million
articles in 265 languages.More than 275 million people come to our website every month to access
information,free of charge and free of advertising.
      But Wikipedia is more than a website.We share a common cause:Imagine a world in which every
single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge.That"s our commitment.
     Your donation helps us in several ways.Most importantly,you will help us cover the increasing cost of
managing global traffic to one of the most popular websites on the Internet.Funds also help us improve
the software that runs Wikipedia-making it easier to search,easier to read,and easier to write for.We are
committed to increasing the free knowledge movement worldwide,by taking on new volunteers,and
building strategic partnerships with institutions of culture and learning.
     Wikipedia is different.It"s the largest encyclopedia (百科全书)  in history,written by volunteers.Like a
national park or a school,we don"t believe advertising should have a place in Wikipedia.We want to keep
it free and strong,but we need the support of thousands of people like you.
      Thank you,
       Jimmy Wales
