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 points in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.
You do not have to be spineless (優(yōu)柔寡斷的) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked or loved if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights (正當行為). 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 cannot 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 if he does not refuse to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged (灰心喪氣的) 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 (缺點) 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 do not 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 when you have to learn to get along the best with the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you cannot change.
小題1:One of the two ways the writer suggests for us to get along with others is to __________.
A．work hard at everything we do
B．enjoy the best share of everything
C．look for treasure in order to be successful
D．pay more attention to their strong points
小題2:If a person wants to be popular, he or she has to __________.
A．be polite and friendly
B．give up some rights
C．get away arguing with other people
D．be ready to change his or her character
小題3:There is no person but someone should be blamed if he or she __________.
A．is modest and generous
B．is selfish and lazy
C．does not draw a lesson from his or her own fault
D．is very happy with unpleasant quality
小題4: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

小題1:D
小題2:A
小題3:C

You’ve probably heard of working dogs that help police officers, or horses that help farmers. Did you know that carrier pigeons（信鴿）can be trained to help people too? Here are some examples.
Mailman
Carrier pigeons can be trained to carry messages to people. The note is placed into a small can. The can is tied to the pigeon’s leg. Then the pigeon flies off with the note.
Lifeguard
From high up in the sky, specially trained pigeons can find orange life jackets in the ocean. Sometimes it is difficult for humans to find people lost at sea, especially when the weather is bad. However, pigeons can fly quickly over a large area of water to look for people.
Spy
Many years ago, carrier pigeons were used to help our country during wars (戰(zhàn)爭). “Spy pigeons” had small cameras that were tied to their feet. As a pigeon flew over enemy (敵人)land, the camera took photos of the land below. This would allow our soldiers to see where the enemies were and what they were doing.
So next time you see a pigeon, stop and watch it closely. What might look like an ordinary bird to most people, might actually be helpful.
小題1:Which part of the carrier pigeon is the can tied to?

小題2:What kind of people can the carrier pigeons find?

A．A mailman, a lifeguard and a spy.
B．A trainer, a spy and a police officer.
