The secret of happiness

An old man walked slowly with a cane（手杖）into the restaurant .His old jacket, worn-out
shoes and warm personality made him stand out from the usual crowd.

A young waitress watched him move toward a table by the window. She ran over to him, and
said: “Here, sir……let me help you with that chair.”

Without saying a word, he smiled and nodded（点头）a thank you. She pulled the chair away
from the table and helped him sit. Then she put his came against the table.

“Thank you, miss.”he said, kindly.

“You're welcome, sir.”she said.

After he had finished his breakfast, the waitress brought him the change（零钱）from his bill.
He left it on the table. She helped him up and walked with him to the front door.

When she went to clean his table, she found a business card under his plate and note on a
napkin（纸巾）. Under the napkin was a 100-dollar bill.

The note on the napkin read: “Dear miss, I respect you very much and I can see you respect
yourself, too. It shows by the way you treat others. （3）You have found the secret of happiness.
Your kindness will shine through to all those who meet you.”

The man she had waited on was the owner of the restaurant where she worked. This was the
first time that she or any of the other workers had ever seen him in person.

Once there was a little stream （小溪）. It flowed down from a high mountain and travelled
through many villages and forests. At last it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties.
I should have no problem crossing the desert, she thought. As she started, she found herself
slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can't reach the
ocean,” she said sadly to herself.

At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze （微风） can cross the desert, so can a stream.” It
was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That's because a breeze can fly, but I
cannot.”

“That's because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate （蒸发） into the
breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little
stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor （蒸汽） across the desert
and let it leave as rain. The min will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you're a
river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open
arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.

The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through
difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.

（1）How did the little stream feel at first when she reached the desert?


A. Cheerful. B. Worried. C. Afraid. D. Confident.

（2）Why did the little stream refuse the desert' s advice?


A. Because she didn’t believe the desert.

B. Because she didn’t like the breeze.

C. Because she wasn’t able to fly.

D. Because she didn’t want to give up her shape.

（3）How did the little stream cross the desert finally?


A. By evaporating into the breeze. B. By forming a river.

C. By disappearing into the sand. D. By changing her nature.

（4）What can we learn from the story?


A. Be more confident when we meet some difficulties.

B. We shouldn't change our mind whatever others say.

C. If we accept useful advice when we are in trouble, we will succeed.

D. If we try to work hard, we will succeed at last.

It was the Peter shopkeeper in New York who taught me about the great power of kindness.

At that time I was a poor student. I would work early mornings and the late nights to pay for my
studies.

On the day I went to that shop for the first time. I was sick with a very high fever. I had been off
work for a few days, and I had run out of food. As I had been so busy working, I hardly had friends
nearby who could help.

So I went out to get some food. Usually, I would have gone to the supermarket, but because it
was closer, I went into the Peter Shop. I picked up a few items, and then handed them to the
shopkeeper, who told me, “Girl, you are unwell.” I nodded.

He pointed at the sausage （香肠） and bread I was buying and offered, “l can make you a
sandwich, so you don't have to do it yourself.” So, he made the sandwich and asked me to wait a
moment. He went in the back room and reappeared with a bowl of hot soup. “It will warm you
up,” he said with a gentle smile.

What really warmed me up, though, was not the soup. It was his smile. His kindness made me

feel cared for at a point in life when I was particularly lonely. It made me want to be as kind as the
shopkeeper who had been kind to me. I had been quite shy, but from that day on, I did not let
shyness stop me from performing kindness.

It happened many years ago, but I still remember it clearly. That day I was invited to work as a
contest judge （评委） at a college. All of the students had been given a piece of paper with a
topic on it. The first one to speak looked a little unhappy. “My fellow students and respected
judges,” he said loudly, “this is an unfair （不公平的） contest!” “I have been given this paper,”
he continued, “to speak on a topic with just a few minutes’ preparation while those coming after
me have more time to work on their speeches!” He then left the stage and went out of the hall.

I met him later by chance. “Who says life is fair?” I asked him with a smile, and I asked him to
walk with me to my car. “Have you seen the numbers they show when a new car is being
introduced into the market, saying how economic （经济的） it is?” “Yes,” he nodded “But they
put a line after all these numbers. They say all the numbers are in ideal （理想的） road
conditions!” “Yes,” he said again. “Can you show me some ideal road conditions?” I asked him，
and he smiled. “The car that sells well is the one that will provide power and speed on the worst

5．阅读理解

One Saturday, we were preparing to go away for the weekend when my daughter heard cries
for help. When I went out, I discovered our elderly neighbor had fallen on her front steps. She
was clearly in pain, so I helped her inside her house and settled here on the bed.

I noticed her room was very narrow and dark. It was obvious she hadn't cleaned it for a long
time. She insisted she didn't need an ambulance（救护车）and that someone would be around
soon, so I left her with a bottle of water at her side.

As I left I felt sad when I realized that we hadn't communicated with her, except a few smiles,
for the past 18 months. She didn't know my name and I didn't know hers, and I hadn't even
noticed that she hadn't been outside for weeks because of bad pain in her back.

That weekend I visited my grandmother for her 80th birthday and noticed how clean and
spacious her flat seemed in comparison to my neighbour's. My neighbour, as far as I knew, had no
family regularly dropping by.

When I returned home I went to visit her. Very grateful to see me, she explained she was okay.
Yet, unable to bend down due to her back, her kitchen was filling with garbage that she was
unable to take out by herself.

We've become good friends and chat every second day. She keeps thanking me for my kindness,
but I enjoy helping her. Now, every time I return from putting out her garbage, collecting her mail

or just chatting, I feel a deep sense of satisfaction and peace.

D. The author hadn't noticed that her neighbor had back pain.

6．阅读下列短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Social media plays an important role in our lives. We check our social

media accounts（账户） such as emails and Facebook almost every day. Lately, people like
posting pictures just for the purpose of getting others' attention through their “flowers”, no
matter whether these pictures are good or not. Recently, I was very annoyed with these types of
posts, so I decided to stop using social media for one week.

After not using social media for a week, I can honestly say that everything has changed. Before
last week, I used to check Facebook more than five times a day, as well as of my other social
accounts, and I couldn't understand why I did that. Now I check Facebook much less.

People are so obsess（迷恋的） with posting pictures that have no meaning to them just for
the purpose of posting something online. Whenever I look at Instagram, all of the comments on
pictures are the same. People depend on how many “likes” they get on what they post as an
achievement. I just want to say, “None of it matters!” As I start to fully understand this now, I
wonder why I have social media if all of this annoys me so much. But then I realize that I actually
post meaningful things that my friends enjoy, and to me, that's more important than getting
“likes” on a picture.

Maybe as a society, we are using social media wrongly. I think we sometimes forget that social
media helps us contact with people who are far away from us. I think it's a beautiful thing that I
am able to go on Facebook and feel connected with people that I don't have the opportunity of
seeing every single day anymore.

（1）Why did the writer decide to stop using social media for one week?

A. Because she had very few “flowers”. B. Because she had got tired of the posts on it.

C. Because she didn't have any good pictures to post on. D. Because there was something
wrong with her computer.

（2）What do we know about the writer from Paragraph 2?

A. She didn't know how to use Facebook. B. She didn't like posting things on Facebook.

C. She used to check her social media accounts a lot. D. She has given up using social media
forever.

（3）According to the writer, people should use social media to ______.

A. receive important comments B. learn about other people's lives

C. get “likes” from their “flowers” D. connect with faraway friends and family

（4）What is the main idea of the passage?

A. People should not use social media. B. Technology is changing our lives today.

C. Comments on social media are interesting. D. Social media should be used for good
purposes.

【答案】（1）B

（2）C

（3）D

（4）D

【解析】【分析】本文讲述了作者厌烦社 交网络从而一周不用社交网络，并有了一些感
想。

（1）细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Recently, I was very annoyed with these types of
posts, so I decided to stop using social media for one week.”可知，作者决定一星期不用社交网
络是因为她厌烦了发照片在网上，故选B。

（2）段落归纳题。根据第二段第二句“Before last week, I used to check Facebook more than
five times a day, as well as of my other social accounts, and I couldn't understand why I did that. ”
可知过去作者频繁使用社交网络。故选C。

（3）细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“I think we sometimes forget that social media helps
us contact with people who are far away from us. I think it's a beautiful thing that I am able to go
on Facebook and feel connected with people that I don't have the opportunity of seeing every
single day anymore .”可知作者认为社交网络应该用来与距离远的朋友和家人们保持联系。故
选D。

（ 4）主旨大意题。根据对全文的理解，可知作者的主张使用社交网络应该是秉着一个好的
出发点。故选D 。

（蛹）. Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly
comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't
struggle（挣扎；奋斗） to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly! The struggle develops the energy in
the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people
and make the fly.

When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready
to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are

people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big
supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was
young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father's
death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the
challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.

Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents
and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some
activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping,
volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We
must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of
tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people
learn to meet challenges and overcome them.

A. it gets out by itself B. the man feels sorry for it

C. it tries to challenge itself D. the man helps it come out

10．阅读理解

One of my best friends went abroad to enjoy her holidays, so the job of looking after her dog
Missy has been given to me. A few months ago, Missy came to my friend's house. She looked
terrible. She has been abused for a long time.

When we first visited my friend and Missy, my friend had to gently pull her over on a lead （牵
绳） to get her to come to us. She wanted to come but afraid to do so—the poor, beautiful thing.
Clearly Missy came to the right home. My friend has given birth to a baby of his own and shows
the love of a mother. This is just what Missy needs. Thanks to the love of my friend, she has
changed into a new dog step by step. Sadly, she is still afraid of strange humans. I hate to imagine
what the dog must have gone through.

Now, Missy trusts me completely, so I can touch her berry（肚皮）.While standing, she will
jump up so gently to be closer to me, putting her paws（爪子）on my legs as she looks at me
with those beautiful eyes.

Missy is really brave. She has the courage to try again, to open her hearts, and to know that not
everyone is the same kind of people as before. Keep it in mind that tomorrow is another day.
