Jascha Richter once sang “don't need too much talking without saying anything” to reveal his lonely feeling in a crowd.
Dad always told me never to ever reveal my true opinions towards other people if such opinions are negative. He said this is the “Chu Shi Zhe Xue”, the philosophy of dealing with social network.
It seems that everybody here just follows this philosophy very, very well.
Friends. I would say that if I were given true friendship I would definitely treasure it with my greatest care. If I really regard someone as my close friend, I would never leave her alone whenever she's in need, either financially or mentally. And I always believe, as long as I treat people with whole-hearted honesty, I would have some rewards—at least, just ONE true friend of the same gender（性別）.
Sometimes I just miss my friends in China. Perhaps when we became friends, we were still young, too young to have been polluted by any dirt in the society. But here, it is simply different. It seems that all of us have learnt how to SURVIVE in a foreign land and such an experience actually makes us learn how to extract (榨取) the most benefits from the surroundings in order to survive.
All are friends around me. I've looked through all the dark sides of their personalities and yet I have to pretend that I know nothing. THEY ARE GOOD. THEY ARE GOOD. AND WE ARE FRIENDS. And then I can make myself comfortable enough to talk to people I hate the most. And of course, they don't say any words truly from their hearts. Neither do I.
But, sometimes I just feel unwilling to talk to these people. Sometimes, I just want to be alone, quietly, without being forced to listen to their gossip or other useless words.
“Standing on a mountain high
Looking at the moon through a clear blue sky
I should go and see some friends         
But they don't really comprehend”
Jascha Richter expresses my feelings also.

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have   11  how difficult it is to write a   12  children’s book. Either the author has aimed too   13 , so that the children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story,   14  the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children’s books are   15  very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 16  who hears the story and the adult who   17  it. Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this,   18  the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not   19  to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as   20  of children’s literature(文學(xué)) were in fact written for   21 . “Alice in wonderland” is perhaps the most obvious of this.
Children, left for themselves, often   22  the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a   23   and he will more willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children’s comics(連環(huán)畫(huà)), full of the stories and jokes which are the objections of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop   24  to brainwash children into accepting our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so   25  that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise（妥協(xié)） over the bedtime story.

Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup(民意調(diào)查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.
Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.
The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
小題1: What can be the best title of the text?
A．Happiness Varies with Ages
B．Experience More, Worry Less
C．The Older, the Wiser
D．Being Young, Being Happy
小題2:We can learn from the research that _________.
A．only when people get older will they feel happier
B．stress levels among the youngest are the highest
C．older people tend to be grateful
D．older people usually have no worries
小題3:According to the research, when people get older, _________.
A．they miss the old days
B．they are physically weak
C．they have better self-control
D．they are more emotional
小題4:What would the author probably talk about next?
A．What influences happiness.
B．How to live better.
C．How to keep happier.
D．Why women are less happier.
小題5:The author is intended to _________.
A．a(chǎn)dvise how to reduce stress
B．introduce a scientific finding
C．describe how to do research
D．talk about human emotions

Once upon a time, there was an island inhabited by: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the rest of it, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity(虛榮) who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Pressure too much?
In our daily life we are used to hearing these words, “I can't wait for my holiday,” “I wish I could stay home today” And “I'm very tired.” These words come from pressure at work. Now the “iron rice bowl”(鐵飯碗) is being broken into pieces. Workers may be fired if they don’t perform their duties well. They have to do their jobs better.
People feel pressure not only because they might find themselves out of work but also because they get no real pleasure from their work. For most of the workers, work is just a way of earning money. It appears to be meaningless and worthless.
But pressure is a natural part of work. There is no way to keep away from it. We should face up to it.
Work should be a cause of happiness and pride rather than a punishment or a burden .In fact, a certain amount of pressure can provide challenge and chance for learning. To a modern man who is worried and low in spirit, developing a hobby and finding a new interest is of first importance. I like listening to pop music, which makes me calm and gives me pleasure.
If pressure becomes difficult to deal with, we should turn to our friends or families. We can have a drink with our friends and talk about the problem. We should always discuss our problems with our families. Good advice, warmth and happiness that families bring to us can reduce our pressure and encourage us to smooth away all difficulties.
小題1:Peopel feel pressure at work mainly because ______.
A．they will lose their jobs
B．most of them find less interest in their work
C．they can make more money after work.
D．they want to stay at home.
小題2:Which of the following is WRONG in the writer’s opinion?
A．Where there is work there is pressure.
B．Work shouldn’t be regarded as punishment or burden.
C．All modern men are worried and low in spirit.
D．A certain amount of pressure is necessary.
小題3:From the text we can know that when pressure is too big, ________.
A．we should drink coffee with our friends
B．we can get help and comfort from our friends or families.
C．we can go home because it is warm
D．to talk out the problem to our friends and families is the best way.

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Sure, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named in this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There is more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people who don’t have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.
小題1: The first paragraph tells us     .
A．what is the feeling of having no friends
B．we always need friends around us
C．making friends is a need in people’s life

Our boat floated on between walls of forest. It was too thick to allow us a view of the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains. Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed: where the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us form going ashore. In any case, what would we have gained by landing? The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance slowly, cutting one’s way with knives the whole way. So we stayed in the boat, hoping that when we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization.
As for water, there was a choice. We could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst. We drank the water. Men who have just escaped from what appeared to be certain death lost all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water. In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result.
One day we passed another village, but fortunately nobody saw us. We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time: we might not be so lucky as to escape in a stolen boat again.
小題1: It can be inferred from the passage that the only thing they could see in a boat was _______.     
A．wallsB．chains of hillsC．tall treesD．vast land
小題2:From the passage, we can learn that _______.
A．the country was a civilized societyB．the country was a tropical jungle country
C．they found a place where they could landD．they were on a journey home
小題3:According to the passage, what happened to the people in the boat at last?
A．They were arrested.B．They managed to escape to safety.
C．They were saved by some villagersD．The passage doesn’t mention it.
小題4: The best title for this passage might be _______.
A．The Problem of LandingB．An Adventure
C．An Entirely New ExperienceD．Escape
