完形填空.

When I was a junior high school student in 1980,God gave me a gift, it was happiness.

One weekend, I went to visit my grandparents in the countryside. On my way home a car ran over me and cut off my because of its high speed. Several days later when I woke up at the hospital, I realized I had to spend the rest of my life arms. How sad I felt at that time! Even I was full of fears. slowly I knew I had to face the fact and got over it. I couldn’t get my arms back even though I every day.

However, it’s easier than done. It took me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness . I got so much from my past story.

From then on, I could treat my life with a mind. But in our daily life, I often see my classmates about little things: They get a bad grade on a test; their bus comes ; they don’t have a mobile phone, but have, and so on. But I only life. I was lucky to realize from an accident.

It is a waste of our life to focus on what you have . We should always think of what we have. So why are so many people unhappy? Someone may say, “My whole life would improve I have a new car.” But when you get the car and what ? For a whole week you are walking on air. Then you go right back to being unhappy.

Happiness depends on what we have! It’s in our heart. It’s a state of mind, even though you own the whole world, you may still feel .Happiness comes from mastering the art of appreciating(感激) and taking pleasure in what you really have.

Spiders are not insects as many people believe. They belong to a class of animals called arachnids(蛛形綱動(dòng)物). Spiders have eight eyes, four pairs of legs, and can grow a new leg if they lose one. A spider’s body is divided into two sections: the abdomen(腹部) and the thorax(胸部).The legs, eyes, and mouthparts are in the thorax section.

Most spiders have poison glands(毒腺)and sharp teeth. They use their sharp teeth to force poison into the insects they catch for food. This poison can make an insect lose the ability to move, and the helpless insect is then devoured by the spider.

Spiders usually have silk glands under their abdomen. They produce a liquid(液體)that is thicker than water from their glands. When the liquid comes into the air, it dries into silk. Many spiders use this silk to form webs to catch insects and to make cocoons(繭)that protect their eggs. This amazing silk is also used to create lines that spiders hang onto as they travel to new areas.

Spiders live in almost everywhere on earth. The only places where there are no spiders are the coldest places, the highest mountains and the seas.

When he was a teenager, Hunter Adam was very unhappy and he spent many years in a special hospital for people with mental(心理的) health problems.

When he left the hospital, Adam decided to become a doctor, so he went to a medical school in Virginia, USA. But when he was there, he did things in a different way. For example, he didn’t like the doctor’s white coats, so he wore shirts with flowers on them when he visited his patients and he tried to make them laugh. The doctors at the medical school didn’t like Adams because he was too different.

But Adams believed that people in hospital need more than medicine. He saw unhappy and lonely people, and he tried to help them as patients, but as people too. He spent a lot of time with children in the hospital and often dressed up like a clown to make the children laugh.

When he finished medical school and become a doctor, Adams opened his own hospital, called “the Gusundheit Institute”，together with some other doctors. They wanted it to be a place with a different way of working with sick people.

Hunter Adams became famous during the 1980s, and in 1988, Universal Pictures made a film about his life. It was very successful. In the film, Robin Williams played Adams.

Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair or your fridge? It is possible that they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, as the so-called "Internet of things" is developing.

The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. It is reported that during his speech earlier this year, Samsung CEO(首席執(zhí)行官) BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, whether it's a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner(吸塵器).

So, how do household(家用) objects that are part of Internet of things work? Well, think of a usual chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.

An Internet-connected camera, like a smart-home camera, could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize(識(shí)別) people's faces, and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don't know, it can tell you that, too.

But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security(安全) systems to the Internet, there may be problems. For example, many early connected-home devices(裝置) don't have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻擊). In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2014.

So, picture this: you walk in through the front door of your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.

2.We can infer(推斷)from paragraphs 3 and 4 that _____________.

A. the chair can know whether the user feels cold or not

B. a usual chair can warm up when it knows the user comes in

C. an Internet-connected camera can be used to take photos in the house

D. an Internet-connected camera can be connected to the user's smartphone

3.According to the passage, it is mentioned that_____

①the temperature inside is neither too high nor too low

②your fridge provides the drinks for you

③the chair warms up if you feel cold

④your favourite music starts playing

⑤your washing machine starts working

A.①②⑤ B.②③④ C.①③④ D.①④⑤

4.What's the problem about the Internet of things?

B. Connected-home devices may not work together and can easily get hacked.
