How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents. He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.
When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
小题1: According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that __.| A．life for a child is comparatively easy | | B．a child is always loved whatever he does | | C．if much is given to a child, he must do something in return | | D．only children are interested in life |

小题3:The underlined word "responsibilities" in the second paragraph means__________.| A．duties | B．jobs | C．suggestions | D．desires |
小题4:The main idea of the passage is _________ .| A．life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains | | B．young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard | | C．childhood is the most enjoyable time in one"s life | | D．one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life |

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get a success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness doesn’t mean money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving（旋转的）door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
小题1:When you do something wrong , people around you will .| A．quarrel with you | B．help you correct it | | C．do something wrong like you | D．laugh at you |
小题2:What will your friends say when you make great progress?| A．Oh, so do I | B．Congratulations! | | C．Good luck! | D．Just so-so |
小题3: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?| A．People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air. | | B．You can get help from others when you are in trouble. | | C．You can still be a happy person even if you have little money. | | D．Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you. |
小题4:The passage mainly tells us .| A．parents always care for our life and health | | B．we’re not happy if we meet with difficulties | | C．happiness is always around us | | D．life is colorful |

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Sure, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named in this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There is more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people who don’t have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.
小题1: The first paragraph tells us .| A．what is the feeling of having no friends | | B．we always need friends around us | | C．making friends is a need in people’s life | | D．we need to be alone in our life |
小题2:Which of the following places people name after their friendly people is NOT mentioned in the passage?| A．A town. | B．A room. | C．A school. | D．A library. |
小题3:Why do people who have friends live longer?| A．They feel happier and healthier. | B．They know more about friendship. | | C．They take less care of themselves. | D．They care more about their friends. |

AAAGH! The Generation 90s is coming!
Wearing earphones, using complex Net language and constantly text messaging friends, the Gen-90s following the Gen-80s begin to make their world debut（初次登台）.

Earphones
These little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Gen-90s．They might lead to MP3, MP4 or MP101 players, giving these young people a plugged-in，cool and perhaps self-addicted look, of course, life is not always music to the ears．
Martian language

Self-Portrait
Saying “cheese” to their own digital cameras is routine for this generation．A little bit of narcissism （自恋） never hurts anyone．It helps them reflect a little on their own lives．But be aware of the risks of posting private photos online.

I dreamed I had an interview with God.
