Passage 1
"Are you the happiest man in the world?" When asked this question, most people would say no. They don't think they are the happiest of the people around them. They would point out that one of their neighbors is happier than any one of them, "Doctor Frank has a career himself. His wife is the most beautiful and well-educated lady in the community. No, I don't think I am happier than Doctor Frank. At least my career is not as successful as his."
Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier a relative, a close friend or, often, someone we even hardly know. I once met a young man who struck me as particularly successful and happy. He spoke of his love for his beautiful wife and their daughters, and of his joy at being a TV talk-show host. I remember
thinking he was one of the lucky few for whom everything goes effortlessly right. Once we talked about the Internet, he is grateful for its existence. He told me, because he could look up information on diabetes (糖尿病) the terrible disease that made his wife suffer and could possibly be passed down to his lovely children. When I heard this, I felt like a fool for taking it for granted that nothing unhappy existed in his life.
This made me think a lot and I soon drew one of the most significant conclusions about happiness: there is little relation between the situations of people's lives and how happy they are. We all know people who are richer and have an easier life than others, yet they are essentially unhappy. And we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. Unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest fault. As a bald man told me, "Whenever I enter a room, all I see is hair."
It is hard for us to give up the image of "being perfect." As nothing is perfect, anyone can be unhappy. It takes no courage or effort to be unhappy. True happiness lies in struggling to be happy.
6. According to the author, most people would ____________ they are the happiest in the world.
A. doubt whether
B. like to think that
C. think about whether
D. not think that
7. The author thinks that people quite often compare themselves with __________.
A. a close friend
B. a relative
C. anyone we think is happier
D. someone we even hardly know
8. What is not true about the young man the author once met with?
A. He is a TV talk show host.
B. Everything goes effortlessly right for him.
C. He loves his wife and their daughters.
D. He is very happy with his work and his life.
39. After talking with the young man about the Internet, the author realizes _______.
A. that he is mistaken in thinking nothing unhappy existed in the latter’s life
B. how grateful the young man is for the existence of the Internet
C. how terribly the young man’s wife suffer from the disease - diabetes
D. that there is a lot of information one can look up in the Internet
10. The significant conclusion the author draws about happiness is that __________.
A. it is hard for us to give up the image of "being perfect"
B. unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest fault
C. we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy
D. true happiness lies in struggling to be happy
Passage 2

Passage 3
When Steven King published his book Riding the Bullet, around two million people downloaded it from the Internet within hours. It was the first time that an electronic book had done big business, and it was a wake-up call for the publishing
industry.
An electronic book, or e-book, is simply a version of a book that allows you to store and display it digitally. There are already thousands of classic and best-selling titles available on websites such as https://www.360docs.net/doc/7b2145372.html,.
E-book technology allows you to carry around a whole library in a small unit. You can also highlight a word to bring up its definition or increase the font size if you have bad eyesight. In fact, e-book readers are being developed for people who are visually impaired or dyslexic.
Another advantage is that it lets you buy books in segments and carry them around easily, which should appeal to students. In fact, the University of South Dakota is planning to give hand-held devices to all its students to help them in their studies.
However, for all this, the current e-book readers are unlikely to make it big. A recent report predicted sales of just 1.9 million in the next 5 years. And the reason? E-books are more difficult to read and they are just not as attractive as the printed word.
16. The writer warns that the publishing industry should be ready for an important change.
17. E-books will become much cheaper in the near future.
18. One advantage of e-books is that you can find the meanings of individual words
easily.
19. Students will use libraries less in the future.
20. Sales of e-books are expected to increase rapidly in the future. .
