As a child, I was generally happy, singing and dancing to my favorite songs, smiling and laughing with my friends and family. But as far back as second grade, I noticed a “darkness” about me. I didn’t enjoy engaging in many things.
In middle school things in my life began to get even worse. I began withdrawing from everything I once enjoyed—swimming, tennis, family. I hated going to sleep knowing I had to wake up to another day. I was always tired. Everything was horrible. Finally, midway through eighth grade, I was told I had a chemical imbalance, diagnosed with clinical depression, and put on medication. It took months for me to feel the effects of the medication.
When I began to feel happy again is when I realized that I had to take the responsibility for getting better myself, rather than relying on medicine. Aristotle said, “To live happily is an inward power of the soul,” and I believe that this quote describes what I had to do to achieve happiness. Happiness is a journey. Everyone seems to need different things to be happy. But I believe people are blinded from what truly makes one happy.
“The essentials to happiness are something to love, something to do, and something to hope for,” a quote from William Blake sums up what I believe people need to realize to be truly happy in life. People need love; I feel they need their family and their friends more than anything in the world. People need work to do, something to make them feel they are making a difference in the world. People need to know that more good is to come in the future, so they continue to live for “now” instead of constantly worrying about the bad that could come. And most importantly, people need to know that happiness is not something that happens overnight. Love and hope are happiness.
1.What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A. He was diagnosed with clinical depression in Grade Six.
B. He hated going to sleep because he couldn’t sleep well.
C. He suffered a lot from clinical depression.
D. He spent months recovering from the clinical depression.
2.What made the author feel happy again?
A. His understanding of happiness. B. The medicine’s effect.
C. Aristotle’s words. D. His families’ love.
3.People who want to be truly happy should have the following EXCFPT , according to the author.
A. hope B. belief
C. love D. work
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. Ways to overcome depression. B. The importance of being happy.
C. The essentials to happiness. D. Love and happiness.

Recently, as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team, I started to feel sorry for myself and for him. His team was facing adversity (逆境) — it was the opponent’s home gym filled with their supporters, and Nathan’s team was left behind for three quarters of the game.
As for me, I had been fired earlier in the day. I was prepared for it as I had experienced the same thing 14 years earlier, but, just like a punch in the mouth, the blow is never softened because you were expecting it.
As I watched the adversity on the court that my son was experiencing, I recalled my earlier events, packing up everything in a box and waving goodbye to a great group of colleagues with whom I’d had the pleasure of working. During my driving home, I kept telling myself “Just like that time, I will find work again in a short time—I am confident in my experience and abilities.” It was the same belief that I tried to teach my son.
The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan’s team still trailing. As Nathan and his teammates fought back, I saw the focus and determination on him, as well as his teammates’faces. Then, with a tie game and seconds on the clock, Nathan found himself with the ball. There was no room for self-doubt. With skill and confidence he was able to tune out all that could drive his attention away and make the throw as if he had done it a thousand times. The joy on his face, the cheering from the crowd, and the silence on the other side of the gym—it was a moment that would make any parent proud.
As I sat there, my heart bursting with pride, it dawned on me that I had taught him determination in the face of adversity, and he had just taught me the same lesson. That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court. He will play in the finals, but it doesn’t matter if he wins or loses, at this moment.
1.What did the author intend to show by mentioning his experience 14 years ago?
A.He quit a job again. B.He disliked working with the colleagues.
C.He made a right career choice. D.He had confidence in his abilities.
2.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Nathan’s teammates couldn’t focus on the play.
B.The author was never worried about his son’s team.
C.Nathan’s team lost the game at last.
D.The game was in a tie at one time.
3.What is the passage mainly about?
A.A blow from losing a job. B.A lesson on the court.
C.The importance of teamwork. D.The rise and fall of a game.
