Need a reason to be happy? Then you will be
happy to know that March 20th is the
International Day of
Happiness.
The United
Nations set up the International Day of happiness
in 2012 to remind us that happiness is a basic
human goal and right.
It was celebrated
for the first time in 2013. On that day, we
celebrated hundreds of “ Happy Heroes” – those
who did so much to bring happiness to others.
They helped the homeless to live a comfortable
life and the poor kids
to go to school.
The 2014 Day of Happiness actions asked people
to share pictures of making them happy. People all
over the
world showed their favourite pictures
on the Internet. “It’s exciting to see so many
people sharing photos of what
makes them
happy.” Joe, a senior high school students from
Canada said. The 2015 Day of Happiness actions
gave
attention on relationships. Modern
society is leaving more and more people feeling
lonely. On that day, thousands
of people all
around the world reached out to make new
connections with others. They visited their
neighbours,
gave calls to the doctors they
didn’t know very well, drove the strangers to
station for free…
The theme of the 2019 Day of
Happiness is “Happier Together”. It encourages
people worldwide to focus on
what we have in
common, rather than what divides us.

Huge Waves Destroying Arctic Ice Faster than
Expected
Ice covers much of the Arctic
Ocean
（北冰洋）
. Some pieces of ice are huge,
like moving islands. As
temperatures have
increased, however, some of the ice has begun to
disappear. Scientists have discovered huge
waves
（海浪）
in the arctic waters.
The
waves were discovered by accident in May, 2010.
Scientist Aleksey Marchenko and his students set
out
on a trip. They wanted to study the icy
waters.
On May 2, the ship traveled east and
stopped next to a large chunk of ice around 50
miles from the small
island of Hopen.
Marchenko prepared to lead his students out onto
the Ice.
（裂缝）
around,
He decided to
move the ship deeper into the ice to keep safe.
The farther in they went, he thought, the harder
the ice would become. As they pushed forward,
however, the ship experienced small waves, and
then bigger ones.
Soon, the waves broke up the
ice around the ship into thousands of smaller
pieces
．
Within an hour, Marchenko and
his team saw a wave that was about 13 feet high.
The ship's navigation
（航行）
system finally
recorded the largest waves. They were more than 20
feet in height. The waves were so strong that
they forced huge pieces of ice to jump up and
down, breaking the ice into smaller pieces within
just one hour.
Scientists had never imagined
that the process could happen so fast. The waves
in these areas used to be small.
The speed and
force of the huge waves there makes it impossible
to know in advance when they are coming.
That
could be dangerous for navigators and local
communities who are unprepared for huge waves or
depend on
sea ice to protect them. Wildlife
like polar bears and walruses that depend on sea
ice to live is also in danger.
Some scientists
think people will soon see even bigger waves in
these icy waters. As waves break up ice, the
seas will become more open, and the waves will
get even stronger. There are stormy times ahead.
34. When did Marchenko and his
students discover huge waves in the arctic waters?
35. Why did Marchenko and his students set out
on the trip?
36. What did Marchenko decide to
do to keep safe?
37. How high were the largest
waves recorded by the navigation system?
38.
What is Paragraph 7 mainly about?

Remember when you were a little child trying
to learn to walk?
First, you had to learn how
to balance (
平衡
) yourself and stand. You
fell down, and then got back up. You
laughed
sometimes and cried at other times. After much
practice, you finally learned how to balance
yourself. You
got much pleasure from this new
feeling of power—you'd stand everywhere you could.
It was a happy time—you
did it!
Now the
next step—walking. You'd seen others do it. It
didn't look that hard—just move your legs while
you
were standing. Wrong—more difficult than
you ever imagined. But after you tried again and
again and again, you
understood how to walk.
If people found you walking, they cheered,
back on those days when you were the little
child—how many times did you try when no one was
watching, or
when no one was cheering? You
couldn't wait for someone to encourage you to take
the next steps. You learned
how to encourage
yourself.
So, keep trying and encouraging
yourself as you learned to walk if you want to
succeed in doing something.

first step in learning to walk?

I am Canadian. I started
learning French when I was 10 years old. But my
whole experience with the language
was in the classroom. All of that changed,
however, during my last summer of high school. As
a 17-year-old girl, I
flew across the country
by myself for the first time! I headed for Quebec
to live in the province with a
French-speaking
host family, who didn’t speak any English. And I
would learn French at a local school.
On the
first day of school, all of us students were given
a test to determineour language level. We were
（测定）
required to speak only French all
summer.
I made every effort to communicate in
a second language by making new friends, seeing
movies and even
ordering food from restaurants
in French. Though I couldn’t understand most of it
at the very beginning, the whole
experience
was exciting and refreshing.
On weekends, my
classmates and I took trips to different places
around the province. On one trip, we went
whale watching on the St. Lawrence River. Even
though it was raining, we could see huge whales
swimming
around our boat. The most memorable
part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec
City. I walked along the stone
streets, took
pictures of the European-
style
（欧式的）
buildings, and learned some
stories there.
Finally my efforts paid off! At
the end of the summer, I was able to communicate
pretty well. I couldn
’
t wait
to go
back to school and talk with my French teacher.
Being fully immersed
（沉浸）
in a French-
speaking
environment was a valuable learning
experience. And it could be the main reason for my
improvement in French.

Aron Ralston
is an American man. He is interested in mountain
climbing. He is used to taking risks, and there
were many times when Aron almost lost his life
because of accidents. On April 26, 2003, when he
climbed in Utah,
he found himself a very
dangerous situation. He struggled (
抗争
) and
fought for five days. At last, he saved his own
life but lost his right arm. Even after this
experience, he kept on climbing mountains. He also
wrote a famous book
with a single
arm.
Aron's story tells us never to give up.
Every person has a dream. It makes us do what we
are doing, because it's
what we believe in.
And everyone has moments when life seems too hard,
but never stop going like Aron. Our
biggest
enemies are hiding in us-laziness(
懒惰
) and
doubt. We should be warriors (
勇士
) of our
dreams and goals
and we should keep on
fighting for them.
