There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health, wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (冒犯) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was sounded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have realized its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly all act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others: nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
1.People who are unhappy .
A. always consider things differently from others
B. usually are affected by the results of certain things
C. usually misunderstand what others think or say
D. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
2.The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most probably means“ .”
A. have a good taste with social life B. make others unhappy

After years of study, I have known there are only two types of people in this world: those who get to the airport early and those who arrive when the plane is about to take off.
If there were any justice(公正)in this world, early-airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing. And late-airport people would be punished. But early-airport people get ulcers(溃疡), heart attacks and bite their fingernails to the bone. Late-airport people almost don’t realize they are flying.
A guy of that kind once said, “Don’t hurry. If you miss your flight, it’s because God doesn’t want you to go.” This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.
Early-airport people suffer another “name”. They are called exactly what they are -wimps(窝囊废). I know. I was an early-airport person for years. “My baggage will get on the plane first,” I told myself. Indeed it would, which made it the last baggage they took off the plane after landing.
Another strange thing: No matter how early I showed up, I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat. I thought it was a trick. I thought there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said: “Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today? If he is , give me his seat.”
After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead, I have learned another fact about early-airport people and late –airport people:
They always marry each other.
1.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.late-airport persons are often nervous |
B.early-airport persons are always at ease during the flight |

2. Paragraph 5 mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A.someone always plays tricks on the writer |
B.the airlines usually fool passengers |
C.early-airport persons always can’t get good seats |
D.the service of airlines is very bad |
3.This passage is written in order to .
A.give readers tips about taking a plane |
B.offer suggestions about having a good plane trip |
C.express the writer’s anxiety about taking a plane |
D.show people’s different attitudes toward catching planes |
4. It could be inferred that the writer’s wife is ________.
A.an early-airport woman | B.a late-airport woman |
C.a hot-tempered woman | D.a sensitive woman |

Although most people know there are Seven Wonders in the Ancient world, only few people can name them. This is because most of them are no longer there except the pyramids. However, there is a growing list of wonders of the world today.
About nine years ago, UNESCO’s World Cultural and Nature Heritage (自然文化遗产) List had 411 places and 136 countries were responsible to protect them, and the list keeps on growing. Usually it is the task of a group of 21 experts to decide which places go on the list. The experts are chosen to work for six years.

There are hundreds of types of birthday cake in the world. You are likely to enjoy one during at least one of your birthday parties. But have you ever stopped and wondered, “Why am I eating this? What makes this dessert fit to celebrate the day of my birth?”
It’s because you are as important and beloved as the gods.
The ancient Egyptians are thought to have “invented” the celebration of birthdays. They believed when pharaohs (法老) were crowned, they became gods, so their coronation (加冕) day was their “birth” as a god.
Ancient Greeks borrowed the tradition, but realized that a dessert would make the celebration more meaningful. So they baked moon-shaped cakes to offer up to the goddess of the moon. They decorated them with lighted candles to make the cakes shine like the moon. It is the reason why we light our birthday cakes on fire.
Modern birthday parties are said to get their roots from an 18th century German celebration. On the morning of a child’s birthday, he or she would receive a cake with lighted candles that added up to the kid’s age, plus one. This extra candle was called the “light of life,” representing the hope of another full year lived.
And then, torture — because no one could eat the cake until after dinner. The family replaced the candles as they burned out throughout the day. Finally, when the moment came, the birthday child would make a wish, try to blow out all the candles in one breath, and dig in.
Since the ingredients (原料) to make cakes were pretty expensive, this birthday custom didn’t become popular until the Industrial Revolution. More ingredients were available, which made them cheaper, and bakeries even started selling pre-baked cakes.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The origin of birthday cakes. B.The significance of birthday cakes.
C.The history of birthday parties. D.The introduction of cake production.
2.Who established the tradition of celebrating birthdays with cakes according to the passage?
A.Germans. B.Pharaohs.
C.Ancient Greeks. D.Ancient Egyptians.
3.The underlined word “torture” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.
A.pleasure B.replacement
C.sharing D.suffering
4.Why was the birthday cake custom unpopular before the Industrial Revolution?
A.The transport was inconvenient.
B.The ingredients of cakes were expensive.
C.The cake could not be eaten before dinner.
D.The bakeries would not sell pre-baked cakes.

There are a great number of people in the world while few people are great. I think there is probably only one great person out of 10, 000 at best, and most probably much less than that. There’s no question that Walt Disney is one of the greatest people who changed the world. As the man behind Mickey Mouse and the entire Disney enterprise, his life’s work has __ children and adults for decades. And when he __ due to lung cancer in 1966, the world truly lost a great person.
__ , Disney made an impact in another way. Legend has it that he wrote one last __ before his death, said Disney historian Jim Korkis. Titled “TV Projects In Production: Ready for Production or Possible for Escalation and Story,” the note __ four names: Ron Miller, 2 Way Down Cellar, Kurt Russell, and CIA-Mobley.
Still, the note’s true __ remained a mystery for decades. What did Disney’s last message to the world intend to __ ?
According to former Disney archivist Dave Smith, who __ the note, Disney was listing possible __ projects for his company. And one name __ out: Kurt Russell.
Disney had expressed his __ of the then-15-year-old’s talent before, praising him on television and __ ensuring that the boy received a studio contract (合同). In October 1966, just months before his __ , Disney even predicted “a great __ future” for Russell. But in the end, it was Disney’s last __ that ended up launching Russell’s career as an actor.
Russell __ this during a 2013 episode of The View. “I assume, as [does] everybody else, that he was __ about some movie that he was thinking about having me in … I don’t know what to make of it __ that,” Russell said.
The young actor would go on to star in dozens of Disney __ , including The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band. So in the end, we have Disney to __ for one of the most memorable talents on our screens.
