16、eved is that no matter how bad something is, you can 36 something valuable out of it. The 37 I wasnt sure of that was on September 11. I hear older people 38 about the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Kennedys being murdered and how greatly those events 39 them in their lives. For my 40, the tragedy o
17、f September 11 can be 41 with that of Pearl Harbor. We will be talking about the terrible effect 42 our country, and our lives as the single human being, for years to come.It wasnt until a few weeks 43 September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy. People seem 44
18、 now, more understanding, more friendly. Little things that seemed to be such a bother before are no longer a 45 deal. Personally, I am more patient than I was. I realize life is too short, and 46, to let myself get upset over unimportant things. Life is also too short to carry complaints and 47 Ive
19、 become more forgiving and understanding. Ive learned also that you cant take things for granted. You know how we always say “48 you later”. One thing Ive realized from September 11 is that you cant ever say for sure. 49 change in the blink (眨眼) of an eye. People go to 50 and dont come back. One min
20、ute they are living and the 51 minute they are not. And, it doesnt 52 who you are because there is nothing you can do about it. We 53 know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make the 54 of every minute we have.You try to learn from what happened. You cant live by it. All you can do i

24、项。AWhat a strange world this would be if everyone told the truth! Even though all world religions caution(告诫) people against lying, it seems that lying is a universal communication style. Most of us get angry at big liesespecially those in government, business, and the social world. But how about tr
25、uth-telling in our private life? Should we always tell the truth to husbands, wives, mothers, fathers and children? Do we?We all lie. National public opinion polls find that only about one in ten Americans say they never tell a lie. One study of college students found that each student told about tw
26、o lies a day. Half of all adults interviewed in a CBS New Poll last year admitted they had told a lie they regretted, and nearly as many said they had been deeply hurt by a lie someone told them.We all lie about lies. Researchers asked subjects to describe the lies they told over a period of weeks.
27、Subjects over-reported “white lies”(harmless liesI really like your dress) and under-reported serious lies( I graduated with honors).We lie differently to different types of people. We tell more lies to men than to women. Men and women tell more lies about themselves when talking to men, but more li
28、es about others when talking to women. Men are particularly likely to lie about themselves. Women tell more lies than men, but only because women tell white lies in order to flatter or avoid confrontation (对抗). Lies are hard to detect(察觉). Surveys show that nearly everyone believes most people are t
29、ruthful. Thats why people are so bad at detecting lies.56. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. When asked, the subjects admitted they told more serious lies. B. People are not good at detecting lies. C. White lies are harmless. D. Men tell fewer lies than women
30、.57. The underlined word “flatter (in Paragraph 4)” probably means “_”. A. to anger somebody by telling a lie B. to praise somebody in order to win his favor C. to avoid somebody so as to escape payment D. to warn somebody by shouting58. Lies are not easy to detect because _. A. most people get angr
31、y at big lies B. people tell more lies about themselves C. nearly everyone believes most people are truthful D. everyone tells the truthBDefinition of HappinessA proverb from ancient China was widely spread in the West: “If you want to be happy for a few hours, go to get drunk; if you want the happi
32、ness to last three years, get married; if you want lifetime happiness, take up gardening.” The reason for the last is this: Gardening is not only useful, but it helps you to identify(与一致) yourself with nature, and thus brings you new joy each day besides improving your health.A research of a US univ
33、ersity that Ive read gives a definition of happiness as what makes a person feel comfortably pleased. To put it specially, happiness is an active state of mind where one thinks ones life is meaningful, satisfactory and comfortable. This should be something lasting rather than transitory (短暂的).Lots o
34、f people regard it the happiest to be at leisure (空闲). But according to a study, it is not a person with plenty of leisure but one at work that feels happy, especially those busy with work having little time for leisure. Happiness does not mean gains one is after but a desire to harvest what one is
35、seeking for. People often do not treasure what they already have but desire what they cannot get. That is somewhat like a man with fond dreams of numerous lovers while unwilling to settle down with the woman beside him.Happiness is a game balancing between two ends what one has and what one wishes f
36、or, i.e. ones dream and the possibility to realize it. The study comes to this conclusion: A happy man is one who aims high but never forget his actual situation; one who meets challenges that develop his ability and potentiality; one whos proud of his achievements and the recognition given to him.
37、He has self-respect and self-confidence; treasures his own identity and loves freedom. He is sociable and enjoys wide range communication with others; hes helpful and ready to accept assistance. He knows he is able to bear sufferings and failures; he is sensible enough to get fun from daily work. He
38、 is a man capable of love and passion.59. According to the passage, gardening can bring lifetime happiness because _. A. it is a business that brings money B. it can strengthen gardeners ability to remake nature C. it can make gardeners enjoy very happy marriage D. gardeners can build good relations
