1.There is one thing that everyone wants more than anything else．Some people try to get it by making money．They think that when they have enough money to buy such things as houses, farms, and cars, they will have the one thing that everyone wants. 　　Other people believe that if they know enough they will find this thing．They study all their lives in search of it．Still others think that if they have power, they will find this thing．They keep telling themselves: when I am a boss, I will no longer have to search for this thing． 　　What is it that everyone wants more than anything else? What is it that all of us keep working and striving for each day? It is happiness. 　　　Happiness is a strange thing．It does not mean the same to all men．What will make one man happy may not make another man happy．Some men say that happiness comes from helping others; other men say that happiness comes from making life more pleasant for everyone．What do you mean when you say "That makes me happy"? 　　Read what different people have said about happiness．Perhaps you will learn something that will bring you peace of mind, comfort, money or it may bring you what you search for --happiness．When I am a boss, I will no longer have to search for this thing．This sentence means __.

Nasredain was a poor man,so he tried to grow1he could in his own garden,sothat he would not have to buy so many in the market.

One evening he heard a noise in his garden and looked out of the window.A white oxhad got into the garden and2his vegetables.Nasreddin at once took his stick,ran outand chased the ox,but heas too old to catch it.When he got back to his garden,hefound that the ox had ruined most of his precious vegetables.

3,while he4in the street near his house,he saw a cart with two white oxenwhich looked very much like the one that5his vegetables.He was carrying his stickwith him,6he at once began to beat the two oxen with it.As neither of them lookedmore like the ox that had eaten his vegetables than the other,he beat both of them equallyhard.

The owner of the ox and cart was drinking coffee in a7coffee house.When hesaw8Nasreddin was doing9his animals,he ran out and shouted,"What are youdoing?What have those poor animals done to you for you to beat them like that?"＂You keep out this!"Nasreddin shouted back."This is a matter between me and oneof these two oxen.He knows very well10,I am beating him!”5.

7.The traffic lights were red when the driver reached them．To the surprise of his passenger, the ear did not slow down．Unexpectedly the passenger was thrown forward in the vehicle as the driver put on his brakes at the last moment．The car stopped just in time. 　　"Sorry, I didn't notice the light．I thought it was green until I saw that it was the top light which was shining." 　　This strange story is quite true．About ten men in every hundred are color blind in some way; women are luckier-- only about one in two hundred suffers from color blindness. 　　In some cases, a man may not be able to see deep red．He may think that red, orange and yellow are all the same as green. 　　People often like one color more than others．Blue is the color of the sky and sea．Green makes us think of fields and trees．Red is the color of blood and makes some people think of danger．Black is the color of night．In the dark we cannot see what is around us so we are sometimes afraid of the unknown and do not like black as a color.[单选题] According to the passage, we can guess it is safer to take a car driven by a woman because __.

9.Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion,unless you learn how to deal with it.They warn that angry hostile feeling can lead to heart disease, stomach problems,headaches,emotional problems and possible cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others explode with anger,and yell. But other people keep their inside.They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing (压制) anger.For years many doctors thought that compared with expressing anger,repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health. It may speed the heart rate,raise blood pressure or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels. To avoid these problems,doctors thought a person should let the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors disputed this. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and explosively did cause,in fact,more and not less anger. They said these too can cause medical problems.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. Expressing anger intensively may be more likely to develop heart disease, and keeping anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger,then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it isn’t, they say,”Don’t express your anger while angry .Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry.They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.It can be concluded from the passage that_______.

11.As recently as three decades ago, many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and dangerous way to pay for what they bought. Some even thought that owing money to a store or a credit company was something to beashamed of. Good citizens, they believed, always bought what they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately.Today, however, all that has changed. Credit, as some observers have noted, has become a way of life in the United States. More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces of plastic, credit cards, to pay for large purchases such as televisions, record players or furniture. Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant dinner, a hotel room or an airline trip. And there are some situations in whichAmericans must have credit cards. If they want the temporary use of a car, for example, they first must give the car rental company the number of their credit card. That number is considered a guarantee that they will return the car and pay for using it.Credit cards offer two major services to Americans. First of all, they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money. Second, they permit people to borrow, to have the immediate pleasure of owning something, even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time. With credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them. And when the time does come to pay, most credit cards offer people achoice. They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of what they owe.What advantage can credit card holders have?

20.Passage FiveAs my train wasn't due to leave for another hour, I had plenty of time to spare. After buying some newspapers to read on the journey, I made my way to the luggage office to collect the heavy suitcase I had left there three days before. There were only a few people waiting, and I took out my wallet to find the receipt for my case. The receipt didn't seem to be where I had left it. I emptied the contents of the wallet, and railway-tickets, money, scraps of paper, and photographs fell out of it; but no matter how hard I searched, the receipt was nowhere to be found.looked at me suspiciously as if to say that he had heard this type of story many times and asked me to describe the case. I told him that it was an old, brown-looking object, no different from the many cases I could see on the shelves. The assistant then gave me a form and told me to make a list of the chief contents of the case. If they were correct, he said, I could take the case away. I tried to remember all the articles I had hurriedly packed and wrote them down as they came to me.After I had done this, I went to look among the shelves. There were hundreds of cases there and for one dreadful moment, it occurred to me that if someone had picked the receipt up, he could have easily claimed the case already. This hadn't happened fortunately, for after a time I found the case lying on its side high up in a corner. After examining the articles inside, the assistant was soon satisfied that it was mine and told me I could take the case away.Again I took out my wallet: this time to pay. I pulled out ten-shilling note and the "lost" receipt slipped out with it. I couldn't help blushing and looked up at the assistant. He was nodding his head knowingly, as if to say that he had often seen this happen before too !The case__________.
