When I was a child, I hoped to live in the city. I think I would be happy there. Now I am living in a city, but I miss my home in countryside. There the air is clean or the mountains are green. Unfortunately, on the development of industrialization, the environment has been polluted. Lots of studies have been shown that global warming has already become a very seriously problem.

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem— inability to read.

In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. Without opening the book titled Amos, the Beagle with a Plan, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.

Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book.

My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.

I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇跡般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.

1.The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to_____.

A. encourage him to do more walking

B. help cure him of his reading problem

C. let him spend a meaningful summer

D. make him learn more about weapons

2.The book caught the author’s eye because_____.

A. it contained pretty pictures of animals

B. he found its title easy to understand

C. he was reminded of his own dog

D. he liked children’s stories very much

3.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?

A. The author’s mother rewarded him with books.

B. The author’s mother read the same book.

C. The author has become a successful writer.

D. The author has had happy summers ever since.

4.Which one could be the best title of the passage?

A. My Passion for Reading

B. Mum’s Strict Order

C. Reunion with My Beagle

D. The Charm of a Book

When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.

For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved (毫無掩飾的).

In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.

In adulthood the things that bring deep joy—love, marriage, birth—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated (復(fù)雜的) .

My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.

I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.

Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don’t think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.

We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have. We’re so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it’s making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier.

Happiness isn’t about what happens to us—it’s about how we see what happens to us. It’s the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It’s not wishing for what we don’t have, but enjoying what we do possess.

1.As one grows older, one ______.

A. tends to believe responsibility means happiness

B. associates his/her happiness less with others

C. will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness

D. feels it harder to experience happiness

2.What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 5 and 6?

A. She cares little about her own health.

B. She is easily satisfied by things in daily life.

C. She enjoys the freedom of traveling.

D. She prefers getting pleasure from housework.

3.People who equal happiness with wealth and success ______.

A. pay too much attention to their right to happiness

B. consider pressure something blocking their way

C. are at a loss to make correct choices

D. are more likely to be happy

4.Which of the following can best explain the main idea of the passage?

A. God helps those who help themselves.

B. Each man is the master of his own fate.

C. Happy is he who is content.

D. Success leads to happiness.

Health experts have long known that vitamin D is important for healthy bones and teeth. It may also help to protect the body against diseases such as diabetes and cancer. And now, researchers say vitamin D might help fight brain diseases called dementia (癡呆).

Dementia is a brain disease that damages thinking and memory processes, which scientists call “cognitive (認(rèn)知) abilities.” Dementia is difficult to treat. Taking care of someone who has dementia is extremely demanding. And the disease is very frightening to sufferers. Chris Roberts suffers from dementia. He says the worst part of living with this disease was getting lost while driving. “The worst thing that I found was getting lost in the car, not just forgetting where I was going— I wouldn’t know where I was.” More than 47 million people around the world suffer from dementia. The World Health Organization reports that 60 percent of them live in low- and middle-income countries.

We get vitamin D from some foods like nuts, lentils (扁豆) and fatty fish. We also get vitamin D from the sun. But that is not dependable. In some parts of the world, there is not enough sunlight to provide enough vitamin D. Also, sunblock prevents the vitamin from entering the body. To add to the problem, the skin’s ability to process vitamin D weakens as a person ages.

Researchers at Rutgers University in New Jersey are exploring the relationship between vitamin D and dementia. The team recently measured vitamin D levels and cognitive ability in older people. Nutritional sciences professor Joshua Miller led the team. He said cognitive abilities differed among the study subjects. He said tests showed that about 60 percent of the group was low in vitamin D.

1.Which of the following is true about vitamin D?

A. Vitamin D can decrease people’s risk of heart diseases.

B. Vitamin D helps the body fight against cancer.

C. Vitamin D is mainly obtained from the sun.

D. The need for Vitamin D decreases as people age.

2.What does the underlined word “demanding” mean in Paragraph 2?

A. Boring but rewarding.

B. Disturbing and frightening.

C. Disgusting and stressful.

D. Hard and tiresome.

3.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. How vitamin D affects people’s health.

B. Where people get vitamin D.

C. Whether sunlight can produce vitamin D.

D. Why people’s age influences the production of vitamin D.

4.Where can we most probably read the passage?

A. In a travel brochure.

B. In a literature magazine.

C. In a science journal.

D. In a commercial advertisement.
