For a long time being happy was considered natural，and there was nothing special to do about it. Now we know that we can work at getting along well with other people. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better.
One way is being unselfish，not wanting everything your own way or asking for the best share of everything, including the attention of your friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other people.
You don’t have to be spineless(無骨氣的)in order to be popular. In fact，you will be liked and respected(尊重)if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights(權(quán)利). But do it politely and pleasantly. One way to develop a good character is being friendly and polite to your own group,  to older people，to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you.
You cannot expect to be perfect,  so you must learn not to be too unhappy when you make a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged(泄氣的) when they know their unpleasant qualities—selfishness，laziness，etc. Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them.
When sometMng is wrong，it is best 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. Make sure that you are not doing something to make others dislike you. In time, things may turn out all right, then you simply have to learn to get along the best you can with the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can’t change.

C．We should stand up for our rights in any way we like.

D．We should fight against our unpleasant qualities.

You are probably familiar with the saying：An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A recent research carried out by the Chinese University of Hong Kong may change the saying:
An apple a day may keep aging away.
The research chose fruit flies(果蠅), as they share many genes(基因)with humans. The fruit flies were either fed normally or had an apple extract(濃縮物) added to their diet.
It turned out that those fruit flies that were given apple extract lived about 55 days—five days longer than the flies that were normally fed. The research group also found it easier for the flies to walk，climb and move about as they aged.
According to the result, the researchers believed that the antioxidants(抗氧化劑) in the apple extract helped clean up dangerous chemicals(化學(xué)物質(zhì)) that cause illnesses，as well as aging.
In another study，researchers examined diets of thousands of women. They discovered that those who regularly ate apples were 20 percent less likely to suffer heart illnesses and stroke.
The apples’ genetic code(遺傳密碼) was discovered recently. It allows scientists to develop nicer and healthier fruits. Researchers are already using the information to grow a kind of apples full of antioxidants that can keep eyes and joints healthy and protect humans against heart illnesses and cancer.
Apples that kill the desire(欲望) to eat could also be produced, with the first“extra-healthy’’apples on supermarket shelves within just four or five years.
The team that keeps studying apple DNA includes 100 scientists from five countries. Their research also suggests that around 65 million years ago, when dinosaurs began to die off the plant，which would finally become today’s apple tree, experienced a great genetic change. The number of many of its genes doubled. The extra genes allowed the apple to get used to worse conditions and go through a different development from peaches，strawberries and other related fruits.
【小題1】Why were fruit flies used for the research?

A．Because they have a similar diet to humans.

B．Because they have a history as long as apples.

C．Because they share a lot of genes with humans.

D．Because they feed on nothing but apple extract.

【小題2】What result did the researchers find out?

A．Apples produce chemicals that can change human genes.

B．Apples have antioxidants that kill chemicals that cause aging.

C．Apples are rich in vitamins that are needed in humans’bodies.

D．Apples produce chemicals that make apples taste more delicious.

【小題3】What happened to apples around 65 million years ago according to the research?

A．Their genes stopped their development as the environment got worse.

B．Their genes became twice in number but they finally died off like dinosaurs.

C．They experienced a great genetic change making them used to worse conditions.

D．They went through a similar development to peaches, strawberries and other related fruits.

【小題4】What can we infer(推斷)from the passage?

A．Eating apples may bring us more advantages than we might believe before.

B．People who have the habit of eating apples don’t need to see a doctor.

C．Apples that kill the desire to eat are already available in supermarkets now.

D．People will eat apples instead of peaches and strawberries from now on.

閱讀下面短文，在表格內(nèi)的空白處填入合適的答案(每格限填一詞)
The way in which we communicate with others can be greatly improved by building a better vocabulary. In our personal life，we communicate and share experiences with others. However, how well we do it depends on(取決于)our ability to express ourselves through spoken and written language. Luckily，increasing(增加)our word power can make us own the skills we need to communicate better with others and can also help us get better results in our study.
When you see a new word，whether through reading or hearing someone say the word，just be ready to take out your dictionary and look it up-learn about the word and anything that relates(與…相關(guān))to it. If you understand the word, you’ll hopefully remember it well.
Meanwhile, you’d better write down words to learn. You can go through the dictionary，magazine and newspaper or even take down the unknown words you hear. Try to review them every day-look at the words and speak them out loudly. Copy the words over and over again，along with their meanings，and you will surprisingly remember themn in no time.
You can also do word searches，crossword puzzles or other word games. Playing these games，you are more likely to come across new words, and when you are caught in new words, study them. The more words you have in your brain’s word bank，the better you will become at these word games. You will be remembering，learning and having fun，too.
Finally, reading is also believed to be an excellent way to learn new words and build up your vocabulary. Read things you are interested in，because in this way，you are less likely to become bored. But dont skip over(忽略) those words you don’t know. Instead, you should remember and use them in your own daily conversations. Use them more, and you’ll surely have a better chance of remembering them.
