Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It’s unhappiness. Don’t let it get you down. Send it away!When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. A good mood (心情) always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.No matter how happy you are, it’s natural to feel angry, sad or upset once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. So it’s good to know some of thefactorsthat influence happiness.One of the biggest factors is social relationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will still feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative attitude may cause you to feel bored and upset that you have to do so much work.A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it’s unfair because you always study hard and should have got a good mark. You can’t stop blaming (责备) yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, and tell yourself, “Take it easy!I’ll do better next time!” Your attitude makes a big difference.Do you smile a lot or wear a long face most of the time?1．From this passage, we know that _______________.A．we go upstairs and downstairs in life.B．we should never feel sad or angry in life.C．we have both happy and sad momentsin life.2．What does the underlined word “factors”mean in Chinese?A．事实B．结果C．因素3．Why is social relationship one of the biggest factors that influence happiness?A．Because we can ask our friends to do what we want them to do.B．Because we’ll feel braver and more outgoing if we know someone is there for us.C．Because we are always happy to help others.4．Which of the following statements isTRUE according to the passage?A．We should keep blaming ourselves whenwe fail in an exam.B．We can’t be happy if we are busy with ourstudies.C．We should accept our failure and try to dobetter next time.5．What is the main idea of the passage?A．You make your own happiness.B．Being happy is the key to a successful life.C．It is impossible for us to control ourselves.C15、Please sit down and enjoy your meal．Just don't talk about it．These are the requirements at a popular dining party that is known as "silent dinners"．It encourages people who take part in the dining party not to speak for one to two hours and not to use electronic devices．Instead，the idea is to just on the food．"Silent dinner parties are fast growing，" said Honi Ryan，who has hosted 32 silent dinner parties in 11 cities across eight countries，including Germany，Australia and the United States．"The way we communicate is changing so fast that we need to stop and think about it．"According to a 2013 nationwide survey，restaurant noise came in second only to poor service among customer（顾客）complaints．And 19 percent of diners who took part in the survey said noise and crowds disturbed them most while eating out．Though silent dinners may seem curious，the idea is not a new one．Yogis（瑜伽信徒）have long enjoyed silent meals as part of a deepened practice．In fact，it was a trip to a temple（寺庙）in India by a man that encouraged one Brooklyn restaurant recently to add a silent dinner to its event programming．"We'll make a small speech at the beginning of the meal to make sure everyone understands what is happening and ask them not to speak or use their mobile phones for at least an hour，" said EAT Greenpoint owner Jordan Colon．And background music will be turned off，too．"It's funny；when I first opened EAT，I didn't play music for some time and people had very different reactions（反映）to that，" said Colon．"Some people who come out to eat are ready to party，but it was so quiet without music．But I wanted to create an environment that makes you relaxed．"Although personal reactions to a silent dinner may be various，in general they are more likely to get into a lot of talk afterwards，said Ryan．"At the end of the night people always have a lot to say about silence．But the most reaction is that there is always a good laugh．"1．The first paragraph is written to be a（n）____ ．A．conclusion B．introductionC．argument D．warning2．At silent dinner parties，people should not____．A．leave before they finish eatingB．just pay attention to the foodC．use a mobile phone or listen to musicD．take electronic devices to the party3．What does the writer try to tell us in Paragraph 5?A．Silent meals help people live longer．B．Yogis are the first to hold silent dinners．C．More and more people like eating in silence．D．The idea of eating in silence appeared long ago．4．In Jordan Colon's opinion，silent dinners ____．A．make people comfortable and relaxedB．are hard to be accepted by most peopleC．can help him to attract more customersD．provide a chance to get to know othersD16、China is a great country with the largest population in the world. In order to solve the population problem, the government carried out one-child policy (政策) before. However, for some time, many people see not only its advantages but also disadvantages.From 2016, two-child policy is put into effect. In my opinion two-child policy is the present for the only child. The only child in the family is always lonely. For some families, maybe the parents are the only child and they can also have only one child. When their child grows up and they grow older, and their child marries an only child girl, the burden (负担) on their child and his wife will be too heavy. Their child and his wife will have to take care of two couples. Usually, a young couple lookingafter an old couple is a little difficult. But their parents have two children, they can share the burden of taking care of their parents. It would be much better. At the same time two-child policy can guarantee (保证) the number of Chinese population.All in all, one-child policy has been out of date. And two-child policy is needed and necessary. It can solve the problems of today and the future.1．Which country has the largest population in the world?A．America. B．Britain. C．China. D．Japan.2．When did two-child policy begin?A．From 2013. B．From 2014. C．From 2015. D．From 2016.3．Which of the following sentences is NOT true?A．One-child policy has its advantages and disadvantages.B．It’s easy for a young couple to look after an old couple.C．The only child in the family is always lonely.D．Two children can share the burden of looking after parents.4．What’s the main idea of this passage?A．Two-child policy’s advantages.B．One-child policy’s advantages.C．The population of China. D．Ways to look after old people.5．What’s the writer’s opinion about two-child policy?A．He likes one-child policy better.B．He has no idea about two-child policy.C．He thinks the new policy is really good.D．Two-child policy can not solve problemsE17、Lord and Lady Duncan Live in Buckingham House. They have told the police that a valuable statue has been stolen. The police have not been able to solve the crime, so they have asked Holmes and Watson to help.Holmes: Lord Duncan, can you tell me what happened?Lord Duncan: We returned from the party at midnight and as we drove up to the house, the alarm started ringing. I jumped out of the car and went to investigate(调查). A person, just a little shorter than me, ran past carrying a large bag.Holmes: How tall are you?Lord Duncan: I am 1.8 metres tall.Holmes: What happened next?Lord Duncan: As the person ran past me, I hit out with my umbrella. The person fell to the ground but got up and ran awayinto the night. It happened so quickly.Holmes: Lady Duncan, you must have hurt the thief. Dr. Watson, please test the blood that I found on these broken glasses which were left behind.Watson: Holmes, I have made a drawing of footprints found outside the broken window. It looks as if our thief was wearing high heels(鞋跟). By the way, the blood sample belongs to Blood Type O.Holmes: We have five suspects.

But for the people who work in it, Silicon Valley(硅谷) is more than just a high technology hothouse. It’s also in the heart of sunny California, a great place to start a family and raise kids. What could be better?But something is happening to the children. Up until the age of two they develop normally. Their proud parents watch and smile as they take their first steps and speak their first words. But then everything seems to go backwards. The children become locked into their own small world, unable to communicate at all.They call it the “curse of Silicon Valley,” but the medi cal name for the condition is autism.
