It was an exciting moment for Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo, a retired married couple from Harbin, China. It was also a great moment for China because it was the country’s first gold medal in the pairs figure（花样）skating competition at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.

Everyone was very quiet when Shen and Zhao were skating onto the ice. They were expecting something wonderful to happen. As soon as the music started, Shen and Zhao skated around the field quickly with beautiful style; every move was perfect. When the music stopped, all the people cheered. In the end Shen and Zhao won the Olympic gold medal.

In China, winter sports are not as popular as they are in America and Northern European countries. So China sent only 90 athletes to Vancouver to take in a few, carefully chosen sports. Such a good decision also led to Wang Meng and Zhao Yang winning gold medals in the little known, but exciting sports of short track (轨道) speed skating.

China did not win a lot of medals at these Winter Games. Most of the events are still very new to China and need to be developed. But Chinese athletes learn very quickly. For example, China’s women’s curling team(冰壶队) only began in 2003, but they were No. 1 at the 2009 World Women’s Curling Championship.

This means that with hard work and a bit of luck, China’s winter stars could soon shine on the world stage.

1. Shen Xue won the gold medal in the ________event at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

A. pairs of figure skating              B. short track speed skating

C. women’s curling                      D. long track speed skating

2. The people were _____when Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo started skating at the games.

A. noisy            B. quiet                C. cheering     D. excited

3.The underlined（划线）word “couple” means _____in Chinese.

A. 对手                 B. 朋友                 C. 夫妻         D. 同事

4.China’s women’s curling team won’t be eight years old until______.

A. 2003                 B. 2009             C. 2010         D. 2011

5. What made China’s winter athletes get such a success?

A. Luck.                                B.  A chance.

C. Hard work and a little luck.         D. The country’s support.

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 upon 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 too 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. 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. 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（标题）of this passage is _____________ .

A. The Secrets of Happiness

B. Money Makes You Happy

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’ll be

B. we shouldn’t think about our future

C. happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life

D. some people fail to live a happy life

A. one      B. two      C. three   D. four
