阅读理解。     For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing
special to do about it. Now we know that getting along with ourselves and with other people is
something that we can work at. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better.
One way is being unselfish, not wanting everything our own way or demanding the best share of
everything, including the attention of our friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones
in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.
     You don"t have to be spineless (懦弱) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked and respected
if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights.  But do it politely and pleasantly. Being friendly and
polite to your own group, to older people, to strangers and especially to those who do not look
important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.
     You cannot expect to be perfect, and so you must learn not to be too unhappy when you make
a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them.
Many young people become discouraged when they recognize in themselves qualities that they do not
like-selfishness, laziness and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these
faults and have to fight against them.
     At the same time, it is important to remember that, while you are probably no worse than others,
chances are that you are not much better, either. The surest way to be happy is to think yourself above
other people.
     When something is wrong, it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you don"t like a teache
r or a classmate .Try to see why, and look at yourself, too, to be sure that you are not doing something
to make that person dislike you. In time, things may turn out all right if you just keep trying to be pleasant
and polite. If things do not turn out all right, then you will simply have to get along the best you can with
the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can"t change.1. One of the two ways the author suggested for us to get along well with others is ____.A.to draw the attention of our friends
B.to demand the best share of everything
C.to look for treasure in order to be successful
D.to pay more attention to other people"s strong points2. The passage shows that there is no perfect person but someone should be blamed if he ____.A.makes a big mistake
B.is selfish and lazy
C.does not draw a lesson from his own fault
D.is very unhappy about his unpleasant quality3. The passage implies that in order to be a happy person, one should consider oneself ____.A.no better than others
B.not the same as others
C.as having something better than others
D.as having better chances than others4. The purpose for the writer to write the passage is to _____.A.train you to be perfect
B.show you the way to be happy
C.tell you how to act when you dislike a person
D.teach you how to be popular among your friends

阅读理解     As civilization proceeds in the direction of technology, it passes the point of supplying all the basic
essentials of life-food, shelter, clothes and warmth. Then we are faced with a choice between using
technology to provide and fulfill needs which have now been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other
hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which a man must do in order to earn
a given standard of living. In other words, we either raise our standard of living above that necessary
for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and work shorter hours.
      I shall take it for granted that mankind has, by that time, chosen the latter alternative. Men will be
working shorter and shorter hours in their paid employment. It follows that the housewife will also
expect to be able to have more leisure in her life without lowering her standard of living. It also follows
that human domestic servants will have completely ceased to exist. Yet the great majority of the
housewives will wish to be relieved completely from the routine operations of the home such as
scrubbing the floors or the bath of the cooker, or washing the clothes or washing up, or dusting or
sweeping, or making beds.
      By far the most logical step to relieve the housewife of routine is to provide a robot which can be
trained to the requirements of a particular home and can be programmed to carry out half a dozen or
more standard operations, when switched by the housewife.

1. As civilization develops in the direction of technology, ________.
A. the basic essentials of life must be supplied
B. it is important to supply the basic essentials of life
C. it is no longer so important as it was in the past to supply all the basic essentials of life
D. it is not necessary to supply the basic essentials of life

2. According to the author, we are faced with________.
A. the choice of providing and fulfilling our needs
B. the choice of using technology
C. the choice of earning a standard of living
D. a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs to reduce the number of working hours

3. What alternative will mankind have chosen in future?
A. To leave our standard of living at this level and work shorter hours.
B. To raise our standard of living.
C. To fulfill needs which have been regarded as unnecessary.
D. To lower our standard of living and work shorter hours.

4. Now most housewives wish to________.
A. stop doing their housework
B. do more housework to improve their life
C. get rid of the heavy burden of their housework
D. do only simple and light housework

5. It can be inferred that robots will be invented_________.
A. to take the place of housewives
B. to help manage a family
C. to do the routine of housework instead of human
D. to provide the daily necessities for man

Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy.Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs.Even judges are softer on attractive defendants(被告). But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men；effort and ability were thought to account for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones；their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes. Why are attractive women not thought to be able?An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine(有男子气概的)than the less attractive ones.Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the"masculine"qualities required. This is true even in politics."When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, "says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates.She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness.The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices.They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes. 1. The underlined word "liability"(in Para.1)most probably means "________". A. misfortune B. instability C. disadvantage D. burden 2. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness________. A. reinforces(加强)the feminine qualities required B. makes women look more honest and capable C. is of primary importance to women D. often enables women to succeed quickly 3. Bowman"s experiment reveals that when it comes to politics, attractiveness________. A. turns out to be an obstacle to men B. affects men and women alike C. has as little effect on men as on women D. is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women 4. It can be inferred from the passage that people"s views on beauty are often________. A. practical B. prejudiced C.oldfashioned D. pessimistic 5. The author writes this passage to________. A. demand equal rights for women B. emphasize the importance of appearance C. discuss the negative aspects of being attractive D. give advice to jobseekers who are attractive

I"m usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today"s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago. Why are America"s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation(隔离) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place. Considering that we_can"t_turn_the_clock_back,_adults can still do plenty to help the next generation. At the top of the list is nurturing(培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress. To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for facetoface relationships, and they will get more sleep. Limit the amount of virtual(虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It"s not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news. Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale. Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn"t have to ruin your life. 1. According to the analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago ________. A. probably suffered less from anxiety B. were considered less individualistic C. were less isolated physically D. were probably less selfcentered 2. What does the author mean by saying "we can"t turn the clock back" in the third paragraph? A. It"s impossible to forget the past. B. The social reality children are facing cannot be forgotten. C. It"s impossible to slow down the pace of change. D. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten. 3. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people"s state of mind are ________. A. illogical B. confusing C. surprising D. questionable 4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. To children, anxiety is completely avoidable. B. TV and computer play an important role in isolating children from the real world. C. Exercise does not help to lessen children"s anxiety. D. Sometimes local news about crime and murder also affects children a little. 5. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is________. A. to lower their expectations for them B. to set a good model for them to follow C. to get them more involved socially D. to improve them with a safer environment
