Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized(把…歸類) as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.
Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky(卑鄙的) excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate(演示) that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility(高尚).
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.

1.
According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our_______.
1. A.
  self-respect
2. B.
  financial rewards
3. C.
  advertising ability
4. D.

  stealing

  advertising

A friend is better than fortune. A friend is worse than poison in some cases.
The two sentences above have opposite meanings and seem to be unreasonable, but they can be explained as follows: the first refers to all good friends who drive us towards good while the second all bad ones who lead us into bad ways.
My ideal friend is of course a good friend whose goodness is shown below — he has no bad habits, such as smoking and drinking. He lives in frugality (節(jié)儉). He studies hard so as not to waste his golden time. At home he honors his parents and loves his brothers; at school he respects his teachers and shares the feelings of his classmates. He treats those truly who are true to him. In a word, he has all the good characteristics that I don’t have. I can follow him as a model. With his help I can be free from all difficulties.
Indeed, if I have such a person as my friend, I shall never fear difficulty and I shall never know the existence of the word “failure”.

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get a success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness doesn’t mean money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving（旋轉(zhuǎn)的）door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

1.
When you do something wrong, people around you will_______.
1. A.
  quarrel with you
2. B.
  help you correct it
3. C.
  do something wrong like you
4. D.
  laugh at you
2.
What will your friends say when you make great progress?
1. A.
  Oh, so do I.
2. B.
  Congratulations!
3. C.
  Good luck!
4. D.
  Just so-so!
3.
Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
1. A.
  People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.
2. B.
  You can get help from others when you are in trouble.
3. C.
  You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.
4. D.
  Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.
4.
The passage mainly tells us_______.
1. A.

A woman named Emily renewing her driver’s license at the County Clerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.
“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”
“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”
“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation… ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.
One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked.
The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”
The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.
I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.
“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”
Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t), in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”
There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.
As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (受鼓舞) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.
Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.
I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”
Motherhood…What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door

1.
What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of the passage?
1. A.

2. B.
  The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was
3. C.
  The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced

1. A.
  curious
2. B.
  indifferent
3. C.
  puzzled
4. D.
  interested
3.
Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?
1. A.
  Because the author cared little about rewards
2. B.
  Because she thought the author did admirable work
3. C.
  Because she admired the author’s research work in the lab
4. D.
  Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of

2. B.

Gaudi Nanda sees a wearable computer as a handbag --- one that's built out of four-inch squares and triangles of fiber, with tiny computer chips embedded (嵌于) in it. It looks, feels and weighs like your typical leather purse.
That's where the similarities end: this bag can wirelessly keep track of your belongings and remind you, just as you're about to leave the house, to take your wallet. It can review the weather report and suggest that you take an umbrella. This purse can even upload your favorite songs onto your scarf.
Surely, a computing purse and scarf set may seem like the stuff of science fiction. But these devices, part of next generation of wearable computers, could become commonplace within a few years. Dupont created new super strong fibers that can conduct electricity and can be woven into ordinary-looking clothes. And the chipmaker developed chip packaging allowing wearable computers to be washed, even in the heavy-duty (耐磨損的) cycle.
As a result, these new wearable devices are different from the heavy and downright silly versions of the recent past, which often required users to be wrapped in wires and type on their stomachs. Unlike their predecessors, these new wearable computers also make economic sense. When her bag becomes commercially available in two to three years, Nanda expects it will cost around $ 150, which is the price of an average leather purse.
Here's how the bag works: You place a special radio-signal-transmitting chip onto your wallet. A similar radio in your purse picks up the signal and notifies you that you've forgotten to take your wallet. In turn, sensors on your purse's handles will notify the computer that you've picked up the purse and are ready to go.
Already, these new kinds of wearable devices are being adopted for use in markets like auto repair, emergency services, medical monitoring - and even, increasingly, for consumers at large. Indeed, more people will want to cross that bridge in the coming years - making for a booming market for wearable computers that don't look like something out of science fiction.

1.
According to the passage, the new wearable computers _______.
1. A.
  require users to operate on the stomach
2. B.
  pick up the signals through wires and chips
3. C.
  are being applied in some different areas now
4. D.
  are smarter but more expensive than the old ones
2.
What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
1. A.
  The new wearable computers have become fashionable.
2. B.
  People would like to learn more about the new computers.
3. C.
  New wearable computers promise to sell well in the future.
4. D.
  The idea of the purse-like computers comes from science fiction.
3.
The purpose of the passage is to ________
1. A.
  introduce a new kind of computer
2. B.
  explain the functions of computers
3. C.
  compare different types of computers
4. D.
  show how high technology affects our life

Ask about your credit-firm’s on-line rules. Under British law, cardholders are responsible for the first US $78 of any fraudulent spending.
And shop only at secure sites: Send your credit-card information only if the web site offers advanced secure system. If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The web site address may also start the extra “s” stands for secure.
If you still have any doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.

Slang is a popular, less official and often very current form of language. It is an important part of a living language and is constantly changing as language changes. Slang is often playful, direct and sometimes less respectful than the more official and traditional version of language. So now I'm going to lay it on you! To “l(fā)ay it on” is American slang for “to tell” or “to explain.”
Slang can take many forms. For example, slang can be local to one city or area. In Washington, D.C. there is a whole set of slang to describe politics and business in the city. For example, the term POTUS stands for President of the United States. POTUS can often be found with his wife, FLOTUS, the first lady of the United States. “Inside the Beltway” is a popular expression that describes the area of Washington, D.C. The beltway is the large highway that circles the city.
The Internet has helped create a whole new kind of computer-related slang. An “angry fruit salad” is an expression that describes a Web site with too many bright colors. “Netiquette” is slang for correct behavior when using the Internet.
Young people often develop the latest slang. For example, to say Special English “rocks” or is “phat” means Special English is really great. A “kegger” is a party where beer is served. If something is “wack” it is wild and crazy.
Different professions often have their own slang as well. For example, medical workers might refer to a complaining patient as a “gomer”. A "tough stick" is someone whose veins are difficult to find when he or she needs to have blood taken.
No matter how well you speak English, there are always new and interesting slang words to discover. There are entire dictionaries for describing slang. Many experts do not even agree on what is and what is not slang. Often slang words later become a part of officially accepted language. Official or not, slang is an energetic and exciting part of the American language that continues to change.

1.
Which of the following is not true for slang compared with the official language?
1. A.
  Playful
2. B.
  Direct
3. C.

  More official
2.
It can be inferred from the passage that______.

  if you speak English very well, there is no problem for you to understand English speakers
2. B.
  slang words are created by people in their daily life
3. C.
  English speakers are clear whether it is a slang
4. D.
  slang words will never be accepted as official language

Which of the following is not mentioned to have helped create slang?
1. A.
  The internet.
2. B.
  Young people.
3. C.
  President of the United States.

  Professions
4.
Where do you think is the passage adapted from?

As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.
Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”
The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings. Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”

1.
The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to _________.
1. A.
  show the relationship between parents and children
2. B.
  teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table
3. C.
  report on the findings of a study
4. D.
  give information about family problems
2.
Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because _________.
1. A.
  they are busy serving food to their children
2. B.
  they are busy keeping order at the dinner table
3. C.
  they have to pay more attention to younger children
4. D.
  they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family
3.
By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children _________.
1. A.
  have to help their parents to serve dinner
2. B.
  get the least attention from the family
3. C.
  are often kept away from the dinner table
4. D.
  find it hard to keep up with other children
4.
Lewis’ research provides an answer to the question _________.
1. A.
  why TV is important in family life
2. B.
  why parents should keep good order
3. C.
  why children in small families seem to be quieter
4. D.

While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as "Empty Nest Syndrome”（空巢綜合癥）．
In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.
The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as "distant parent phenomenon", which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for "Empty Nest Syndrome"

1.
According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by______.
1. A.
  their earlier experience of living alone
2. B.
  the poor living conditions in their native countries
3. C.
  the common worry that they have not saved much money
4. D.
  the distance between where parents live and where their children live
2.
Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to______.
1. A.
  realize their dreams in foreign countries
2. B.
  seek a better place for their aged parents
3. C.
  live in the countries with more money
4. D.
  continue their studies abroad
3.
If young people go abroad,______.
1. A.
  they do not hold to the value of duty at all
2. B.
  they can give some help to their parents back home
3. C.
  they cannot do what they should for their parents
4. D.
  they believe what they actually do is right
4.
From the last paragraph, we can infer that______.
1. A.
  the situations in the developed and developing countries are different
2. B.
  "Empty Nest Syndrome" has arrived unexpectedly in our society
3. C.
  children will become independent as soon as they go abroad
