For a long time being happy was considered so...

For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing special about it. Now we know that getting along 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 from 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(没有骨气的) 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 group, to other people and 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 can not expect to be perfect, and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged when they know 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, the best 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 teacher or a classmate. Try to see why and look at yourself, too, to be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you. Some day, things may turn out all right and then you will have to learn to get along the best with 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 with others is _____.

A. to draw 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 good points

2.According to the passage, if one wants to be popular he has to _____.

A. be polite and friendly

B. give up some rights

C. avoid arguing with other people

D. be ready to change his or her character

3.The passage shows that there is no perfect person but everyone should be blamed if he _____.

A. is no better than others

B. is selfish and lazy

C. does not draw a lesson from his own fault

D. is very happy about his unpleasant quality

4.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 others

5.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

I remember the first time that I was extremely happy, I was about 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself a limitless number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introduction to algebra, and I didn’t even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life. I was quite excited because of what I was learning and what I was able to do. As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self-learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them too.

I’ve noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth and achievements.

Success, wealth or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. Please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.

1.What can we know from Paragraph 1?

A. The author has a great talent for algebra.

B. Creative thinking is necessary for every child.

C. The BASIC code of the computer is not difficult.

D. The author’s experience in his childhood changed his life.

2.The author wants to tell us through the first paragraph that____.

A. interest is the best teacher

B. children are the hope of the future

C. young people are fearless

D. where there’s a will , there’s a way

3.What is the secret of happiness in the author’s opinion?

A. Success and wealth.

B. Gifts and self-confidence.

C. Enthusiasm and good health.

D. Knowledge and achievements.

4.We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.

A. rich people generally feel unhappy

B. wealth can’t bring people any happiness

C. one will feel unhappy once he has gained all the things he wants

D. being enthusiastic about what you are doing is more important than wealth

I remember the first time that I was extremely happy. I was about 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns playing various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code (密码) for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some portions of the BASIC code.

Anyone who knows a bit of programming can tell you that I just give myself an infinite (无穷大) number of lives in the game, so I can continue playing forever. This was also my first introduction to algebra (代数), and I didn’t even know it at the time. This was a decisive (决定性的) moment in my life. For the first time that I can remember, I was quite happy because of what I was learning and what I was able to do. As a result, I became enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self-learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them, too.

I’ve noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic in what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and fulfillment in life, too. It may also lead to success, wealth, and achievements.

Yes, success, wealth, or achievements seem to bring some people happiness, too. Yet, I don’t think they can indeed make people happy. I know plenty of people who are successful and wealthy. However, I also know several of the people with successful businesses are not happy with what they are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, cars, computers, and televisions, yet they never seem content for too long.

Please remember that happiness comes from enthusiasm, and happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.

Sometimes, something that is considered to be negative turns out to be an advantage on the job. Though he is only l8 years old and blind, Suleyman Gokyigit is among the top computer technicians and programmers at InteliData Technologies Corp., a large software company with several offices across the United States.

"After our company united with another one last October, two different computer networks were driving us crazy," recalls Douglas Braun, the InteliData president. "We couldn't even send e-mail to each other.” In three weeks Mr. Gokyigit created the software needed to connect the two networks. "None of the company's 350 other employees could have done the job in three months," says Mr. Braun. " Suleyman can 'see' into the heart of the computer.”

Mr. Gokyigfi's gift, as Mr. Braun calls it, is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside of a machine. "The computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything I want to do," says Mr. Gokyigit

The young programmer is at home with hardware as well, thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch. Mitzi Nowakowski, an office manager at InteliData, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. "Through feel, Suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight," he says.

Much of the student programmer's speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. When typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer (合成器). His long, thin fingers fly over the keyboard. "Nothing seems to shake his attention," says Mrs. Nowakowski, his boss.

Mr. Gokyigit is the only company employee who is available 24 hours a day. "We consider him our top problem solver." says Mr. Braun.

1.According to Mr. Braun, Suleyman ________________

A. can work wonders on computer

B. is the best technician in the world

C. has done a hard job in three months

D. has united InteliData Technologies Corp. with another computer company

2.The underlined part "is at home with hardware" { paragraph 4 } means _________

A. is good at dealing with computer hardware

B. is fond of computer hardware

C. works with computer hardware at home

D. feels comfortable when working with computer hardware

3.Suleyman was quick while at the computer mostly because of ______

A. his blindness                                           B. his attention on the synthesizer

C. his long, thin fingers                        D. his ability not to be interrupted

4.What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Computer technicians are more likely to be gifted.

B. One's disadvantages may prove to be advantages.

C. The disabled can also play an important role in society.

D. Top computer scientists have unusual abilities to form ideas of computers.

Science is finally beginning to embrace animals who were, for a long time, considered second-class citizens.

As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friends die.

Pigs respond to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O’s. Then the team switched from real-life objects to T-shirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the O-shirted people: they had transferred their knowledge to a two-dimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.

I’ve been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself. At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes out-think other animals. They’re other primates（灵长目动物）, after all, animals from our own mammalian class. Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and that elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social companions. Long-term studies on these mammals helped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure in laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.

Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner lives of fish, chickens, pigs, goats, and cows, 1 started to wonder: Will the new science of “food animals” bring an ethical (伦理的) revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will our ethics start to catch up with the development of our science?

1.According to Annie Potts, hens’ choice of a later and better reward indicates their ability of ______.

A.interaction B.analysis C.creation D.abstraction

2.The research into pigs shows that pigs ______.

A.learn letter quickly B.have good eyesight

C.can build up a good relationship D.can apply knowledge to new situations

3.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A.The similarities between mammals and humans.

B.The necessity of long-term studies on mammals.

C.A change in people’s attitudes towards animals.

D.A discovery of how mammals express themselves.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A.The Lifestyles of Food Animals B.Science Reports on Food Animals

C.The Inner Lives of Food Animals D.A Revolution in Food Animals
