Dragons are not real animals, but look like a combination (组合体) of many animals such as snakes, fish and deer. They have two horns (角) and a long moustache (胡子)．With fantastic powers, they fly in the sky or swim in the sea. They can make rain, too. The Chinese dragon is a symbol of strength and good luck. The emperors of ancient China loved dragons. Their clothes were covered with pictures of dragons.

We are proud to call ourselves the “ descendants ( 传人) of the dragon ”． In Chinese, “excellent” people are often called “dragon”． A number of Chinese sayings and idioms talk about dragons, for example, “Hoping one's child will become a dragon，” which means he or she will be successful.

It is said that people born in the Year of the Dragon have certain characteristics. They are creative, confident, brave and quicktempered. There are some famous “dragons” who have done excellent things, for example, Deng Xiaoping, the famous businessman Li Jiacheng and the movie star Zhao Wei. They are all successful.

There are also some traditional festivals about dragons in China, such as Dragon HeadRaising Day and the Dragon Boat Festival. We have different kinds of activities to celebrate them. These two festivals come every year, but the Year of the Dragon comes every twelve years.

The dragon is very important in Chinese culture. As the “descendants of the dragon”， it is necessary for us to know the views on dragons in our culture. It can help us understand why　 our parents always want us to be “dragons”．

The year 2024 is the Year of the Dragon. Good luck to you!

There is a big tree in the deep mountain. A mother eagle and her three babies live in the tree. One day the mother eagle　 said to her　 babies,　 “Come to　 the edge of　 the nest.” The three　 babies moved slowly and looked down, being afraid to go too far near the edge. “We are afraid,” they replied as they hid under the safety of their mother’s comfortable wings. “Come here,” she encouraged, “I’ll help you.” They came and with a loving and watchful eye, the mother eagle gently pushed the young babies out of their nest.

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions 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 fail to 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 several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their　 time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

1.The best title of the passage is　　　 .

A. Money Makes You Happy

B. The Secrets of Happiness

C. Ideas for Helping Other People to Be Happy

D. Good Friends Make You Happy

2.The second paragraph tells us that　　　 .

A. the more friends you have, the happier you will be

B. we shouldn’t think about our future

任务型阅读（每空一词）

Very few people enjoy exams. I don't, either. And although I tell myself not to worry about them, I always do! So I am not surprised that my students worry about them, too, even though they usually don't need to. Because they are afraid of failure. However, since it is hard not to worry at all, we all must try not to worry too much. Why? Because worrying makes exams worse! How to do this?

Ask the teacher about how to revise and about exam skills- how to work when you are in the exam.

Good students don't wait until the week before an exam. They study all through the year. It is not possible to learn everything at the last minute. So don't leave it till then!

If you start planning and working for each exam early and you make sure that you understand what you are studying, then, when it is over, you'll be able to say, "What a good exam that was!"

Stop to take a short rest during your time of work and revision. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well. Work at the time when you know you will work at your best.

If you are studying in the evening, don't go straight to bed afterwards. Your mind will still be "going round and round" - thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.

If you feel bad, talk to someone about your worries. But don't be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.
