"Depend on yourself" is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.

There have been many men in history.  But many of them were very poor in childhood, and no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few. They could not depend upon them for an education. They saw how it was and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own way till they became well-known.

One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, "I can not make worthy men of you, but I can help make men of yourself."

Some young men don't try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings. They can never gain achievement(成就) unless they see their weak points and change their course. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts.

You have the ability to decide if you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice.

You can't depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early on in my marriage. I realized that I couldn't rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on me and not my husband's actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.

You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within; it can't be forced by outside forces. So how do you choose happiness? The same way you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit. You choose it because that's what you want to experience in your life.

You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feel good. You wouldn't buy a pair of shoes that you don't like or that don't fit well, right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don't make us feel good?

Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one can do that for us. If we let others get to us, influence our emotions ---we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.

We need to keep our feelings in check and not react automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.

Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don't dwell on what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.

1.What’s the best title of this passage?

3.Why did the writer mention buying shoes?

A. To offer advice on how to choose comfortable shoes.

B. To compare choosing shoes and choosing an outfit.

C. To help to move to the next paragraph easily.

D. To use it as an example to show the importance of choosing to be happy.

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Can a computer think? That depends on what you mean by “think”. If solving a math problem is “thinking”, then a computer can “think” and do so much faster than a man. Of course, most mathematical problems can be solved by repeating certain process over and over again. Even the simple computers of today can do that. It is frequently said that computers solve problems only because they are“programmed” to do so. They can only do what men have them do. One must remember that human beings also can only do what they are “programmed” to do. Our genes “program” us the moment the fertilized ovum(受精卵) is formed, and our possible abilities are limited by that “program”. Our “program” is so much more enormously complex, though, that we might like to define “thinking” in terms of the creativity that goes into writing a great symphony or in developing a brilliant scientific theory. In that sense, computers certainly can’t think and neither can most humans.

Surely, though, if a computer can be made complex enough, it can be as creative as we. If it could be made as complex as a human brain, it could be equal to a human brain and do whatever a human brain can do. To suppose anything else is to suppose that there is more to the human brain than the matter that composes it. The brain is made up of cells in a certain arrangement. If anything else is there, no signs of it have ever been discovered. To duplicate (复制) the material complexity of the brain is therefore to duplicate everything about it.

But how long will it take to build a computer complex enough to duplicate the human brain? Perhaps not as long as some think. Long before we approach a computer as complex as our brain, we will perhaps build a computer that is at least complex enough to design another computer more complex than itself. This more complex computer could design one still more complex and so on and so on. In other words, once we pass a certain critical point, the computers take over and there is a “complexity explosion”. In a very short time thereafter, computers may exist that not only duplicate the human brain but go far beyond it.

1.In what sense does the writer think that humans are programmed?

A. Their characteristics, powers, etc. are fixed before birth.

B. He thinks a man’s abilities are not limited, as a computer’s are.

C. In the sense that humans will always be better than computers.

D. Computers must be operated by men, but man can operate by himself.

2.What does the writer mean by saying that the average human being is unable to ‘think’?

A. It is not true. All humans can ‘think’ in all sense.

B. Human beings fail to think as fast as a computer.

C. Most people don’t have great creative ability.

D. Something has been wrong with his genetic program.

3.What is the ‘critical point’ mentioned in the last paragraph?

A. The point at which a computer is an exact copy of a human brain.

B. When one computer is itself clever enough to design a better one.

C. When a computer can be made as creative as we are.

D. When the computers destroy each other in an explosion.

4.The word ‘explosion’ mentioned in the last paragraph means ________.

A. great damage　　 B. a terrific noise

C. excitement　　 D. big leaps forward

China's top labor official said the country is planning to push back the age at which workers can retire.

Yin Weimin, minister of human resources and social security, demonstrated that we did not put a timetable on the move when he spoke about it during a forum at the weekend.

"Delaying the retirement age is a very complicated issue and we will study it according to the situations of population and employment and consider different groups of people," Yin said.

He noted that hikes in the retirement age have been brought in by many countries and can be a good way to deal with an aging population and ensure the healthy and stable development of social security.

The life expectancy of Chinese people is now 73 years and is expected to rise to 74 during the next five years, he said.

Nearly three out of 10 Chinese people will be older than 60 by 2040, according to a United Nations forecast.

The retirement age in China currently is 60 for men and 55 for female civil servants and 50 for female workers.

The idea of delaying the retirement age is being widely supported by government officials, while many laborers and non-government employees were less enthusiastic about the prospect of working for longer. Currently, they have to pay into their pension plans for at least 15 years before they can retire.

Chen Xianlian, a female worker at a motorcycle parts manufacturer in Chongqing municipality is among those who would like to see the retirement age left as it is. “I have to do lots of tough and repetitive work every day and I feel very tired after my working day,” the 41-year-old said. “All my colleagues are discussing the government's possible move to lift the retirement age. None of us wants to work any extra years.”

University graduates also fear that any rise in the retirement age could limit their employment opportunities.

1.We can learn from the passage that ________.

A．China is not planning to push back the age at which workers can retire

D. China has pushed back the age at which workers can retire

3.According to the current policy, Chen Xianlian has to work ________ more years from now before her retirement

A. 14            B.　 9            C.　 19            D.　 15

4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. All the Chinese people support the new policy.

B. The life expectancy of Chinese people is expected to rise to 73 during the next five years.

C. The retirement age in China will be 60 for men and 55 for female civil servants and 50 for female workers.

D. The government did not set a fixed timetable on the new policy.

5.It can be inferred from the text that ________.

D．It may be harder for the university graduate to find a job in the future.
