127、There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
128、People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. There
129、fore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour_the_pleasure_of_society,_offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评) and
130、being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change
131、 this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts th
132、em in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and m
133、any will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not(change this bad habit), it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be d
134、isagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed-up in their quarrels. 1. People who are unhappy _.A. always consider things differently from othersB. usually are affected by the results of certain things C. usually misunderstand what others think or sayD. always discov
135、er the unpleasant side of certain things2. The underlined phrase “sour the pleasure of society”in the second paragraph most nearly means “_”A. have a good taste with social lifeB. make others unhappyC. tend to scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life3. We can conclude from the passage that

If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _.A. preven

140、 is bad news for birds like the Whitethroat, a common farmland bird. The added distance is a considerable threat. As temperatures rise and habitats change, birds will face their biggest challenge since the Pleistocene era (更新世:始于距今180万年), which ended 11,000 years ago,” he said in a statement.Some 50
141、0 million birds migrate each year from Africa, some weighing as little as nine grams (three-tenths of an ounce). To complete a voyage that can be thousands of kilometers long, birds have to fatten themselves up to twice their normal weight. Some even shrink their internal organs (收缩内脏) to become mor
142、e fuel efficient, so any additional distance may be dangerous.The study finds that from 2071 to 2100, nine out of 17 species examined are going to face longer migrations, particularly birds that cross the Sahara Desert. Some birds traverse the Sahara and the Mediterranean Sea in a one go, while othe
143、rs have a break in northern Africa before crossing. Many fly at night, when temperatures are cooler.A fewsuch as the Blackcaphave started to adapt by spending winters in Britain, but such behaviour remains exceptional, the study said. The study forecasts that the migration distance of the Orphean Wa

By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or anxious situa

If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.For example, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he act
161、s immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isnt sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he cant make things work out right, he doesnt feel ashamed that he fails; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a
