Many have sought a variety of sources for their feeling of happiness. Some have put their heart and efforts into their work. Too many turned to drugs an
17、d alcohol. Meanwhile, untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars, exotic (异国的) vacation homes and other popular “toys”. Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact: people are looking for a lasting source of happiness. Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escap
18、es from many people because they misunderstand the journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, “Ill be happy when I get my new promotion” or “Ill be happy when I lose that extra 20 pounds”. It is dangerous because it accepts that happiness is a “response” to having, being or doing some
19、thing. In life, we all experience stimulus (激励) and response. Today, some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling: “Ill be happy when .” It has been my finding tha
20、t actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is
21、not a response but a stimulus. Happiness is a conscious choice we make in daily life. For unknown reasons to me, many choose to be upset and angry most of the time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we wantwe usually get things we want after we choose to be happy.3
22、6. From the second paragraph, we know to some people _.A. they are not happy when they work hard B. they are not happy when they drink or take drugsC. they are happy when they possess their own expensive carsD. they are happy when they are looking for happiness37. Generally speaking, most people fee
23、l happy because _.A. they think happiness is rooted in their deep hearts B. they get what they want to haveC. they get a great paying job D. they get an expensive car38. In the authors opinion, which of the following is the most important if you want to be happy? A. Losing weight. B. Having an expen
24、sive car. C. Being successful in work. D. Feeling happy.39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the author? A. If you want to get what you want, you should choose to be happy first.B. We should try to get more and then well be happy.C. Most people today are happy.D. Work is a necessary part
25、in our daily life.40. From the viewpoint of the author, happiness is _.A. based on our needs B. unconditional C. out of reach D. limitedBTwo years ago, the Funk family of suburban Chicago adopted a Chinese baby girl who had been abandoned on a sidewalk near a Yangzhou textile factory.Last year and h
26、alfway across the United States, the Ramirez family of suburban Miami adopted a girl who had been abandoned a week later on the same spot.Both families named their daughters Mia. It turns out, a first name and Chinese heritage arent the only things the three-year-olds have in common. The girls mothe
27、rsHolly Funk and Diana Ramirezmet on a website for parents who had gone through international adoptions. After a flurry of emails comparing photographs and biographical details, DNA testing proved the families suspicions: The girls are probably fraternal (手足的) twins.“I was in shock,” said Ramirez, w
28、ho lives with her husband Carlos in Pembroke Pines, Florida. “Well, now this is for real.”The Internet and Web groups revolving around international orphanages are increasingly being used to link adopted children with biological kin (亲属). The site that the Funks and Ramirezes used has a membership o
29、f 137 people, with 15 sets of twins and seven sets of siblings whose relationships have been confirmed.At a reunion on Friday at Chicagos OHare International Airport, Mia Diamond Funk and Mia Hanying Ramirez shyly surveyed each other, then reached for each others hand.DNA tests established an 85 per
30、cent probability that the girls are at least half sisters. Scientists did not have a biological parent to test and reach a greater certainty, but given their ages and physical similarities, experts say it is likely they are fraternal twins.Douglas and Holly Funk hope to take Mia to Miami in October.
31、 Both sets of parents say they are committed to staying in touch and often let the twins talk to each other on the phone.41. Why did the girls mothers meet on the Internet?A. To compare photographs of the two girls.B. To communicate with other people who had adopted children abroad.C. To test their
32、suspicion.D. To exchange experiences on adopting children.42. Experts are still not 100 percent sure that the two girls are fraternal twins because _ _. A. DNA tests are still not accurate enough B. the two girls were born by different parents C. the DNA of a biological parent is still missing D. on
33、e girl is born a week later than the other43. What would be the best title of the passage?A. Adopted Twins Reunited on the Internet B. Adopted Twins Live Happily in the USC. Suspicion Turned into Reality D. The Story of Adopted Twins and Their ParentsCSadness is unpleasant, and in a society where pe
34、rsonal happiness is prized above all else, there is little tolerance for falling in despair. Especially now weve got drugs for getting rid of sad feelingswhether its after losing a job, the break-up of a relationship or the death of a loved one. So its no surprise that more and more people are takin
35、g them.But is this really such a good idea? A growing number of voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isnt. They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is playing fast and loose (行为轻率). Sadness, they argue, serves a useful purposeand if we lose
36、 it, we lose out. Yet many psychiatrists (精神病医生) insist not. Sadness has a nasty habit of turning into depression (抑郁), they warn. Even when people are sad for good reason, they should take drugs to make themselves feel better.So who is right? Is sadness something we cannot live without or something
37、 horrible never to touch? There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life. It may be a self-protection strategy, as other primates (灵长类) also show signs of sadness. A losing monkey that doesnt show sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge t
38、he winning monkeyand that could result in death.In humans sadness has a further function: we may display sadness as a form of communication. By acting sad, we tell other community members that we need support.Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark moods. There are plenty of grea
39、t artists, writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder. Scientists found that people with signs of depression performed better at a creative task, and negative moods make people think deeply over the unhappy experience, which allows creative processes to come to the front. Th
40、ere is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career. A doctor found that people who scored 8 out of 10 on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s or 10s. The happiest people lose their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them.
41、44. The underlined word “this” refers to _. A. taking medicineB. falling in despairC. losing a job D. feeling sad45. Some animals show their sadness in order to _. A. cheat their enemies B. protect themselves C. comfort the loser D. challenge the winner46. We can infer from the last paragraph that _
42、. A. people with great creativity tend to be happier B. unhappy experiences contribute to a greater careerC. too much happiness can be bad for your careerD. the happiest people are the most successful onesDThere were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their
43、 homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, waved to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penage. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village peop
44、le of Malaysia. I was moved.I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar. I sighed and sat down
45、to read my Economics.It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles a
46、nd miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive, I decided to wave back.From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazine into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Ev
47、en the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterwi. I looked at the people all arou
48、nd me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived, I threw myself at him to give him a hug. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.I looked forward to the return journey.47. The author had

54、ember of the household, eating together with the students and sharing the common living areas with him/her. No more than three adult students or four junior students will be accommodated in host family accommodation at one time.Host family accommodation remains popular among international students.
55、It is the most economical and beneficial accommodation for any student. It is also the best way to practice English and learn new cultures. As a result, it is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study, cultural communication and cost of living. Staying alongside host f
56、amily enables students to get enough practice during the short time of their study so that their language acquisition is likely to become faster. Living in host families, students are able to spend a lot of time communicating with their “host parents”, who are often very hospitable and friendly, and
57、 get to know the lacal way of life, people and culture. Most host families are always ready to help students out in any situation. Often the bonds that are made between international students and their host families endure many years, and are maintained through letters and e-mails. Another advantage
58、 is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive. It attracts students as it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost.The advantages, however, have not prevented host families,from worrying. On the one hand, some host families are losing their unique selling points.
59、One problem is that the majority of hosts in big cities, now generally single and young, have less time available for international students, but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice. On the other hand, students expectations have risen. They are becoming more dem
60、anding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation, as they come mainly from high socio-economic groups in their own countries.To get out of the difficult situation, host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service. They are trying to make living conditions better, i
