20.First celebrated in 2013,the International Day of Happiness at the beginning of spring was established by the United Nations (UN) to remind us that"the pursuit of happiness is a fundamental human goal."
Setting aside a day to appreciate things that we take for granted-good health,family,and friends-was first suggested by the tiny South Asian country of Bhutan.It also came up with the idea of establishing the Gross National Happiness (GNH) Index (指數(shù)) in the 1970's.Bhutan,which has an annual per capita income of about $ 2,300,or 21 percent of the world's average,believes that material wealth,measured by the Gross Domestic Product (CDP) Index,is not a meaningful measurement of human happiness.
What can you do to celebrate the festival besides cracking a big smile?
•Give or receive a (free) hug
Seek out a sibling,parent,or friend,and make their day by giving them a warm hug.
•Take the"Happy Acts"challenge
It is the brainchild of the"Live Happy"magazine.It encourages people to perform a random good deed and post it on the magazine's social media sites or tweet about it at Happy Acts.The actions can be as simple as sharing a fun photo or calling a grandparent.
•Treat yourself
Sometimes all it takes to make one happy is a little indulgence (放縱).So grab a cup of cocoa or your favorite tub of ice cream and snuggle up (依偎) with a blanket and good book!
•Start a conversation
With the popularity of the Internet,we tend to spend more time looking at our screens than the person in front of us.Tuck your computers or smart phones away for one evening and spend time with your parents.You might be surprised at the joy it will bring them and you.
Finally,don't forget to love yourself for who you are and be happy every single day!International Day of Happiness is a reminder that joy is all around us-you just have to reach out and grab it!

14.Like many languages spoken by people,Ayapaneco is dying.Only two people in the world still speak it,and they won′t talk to each other.
Spoken in Mexico for centuries,Ayapaneco is one of 68 surviving languages in the mainly Spanish-speaking nation.The two speakers are Manuel Segovia and Isidro Velazquez.Though they live only 500 meters from each other in the village,the two men seldom talk to each other.Daniel,an American expert,who is working to make a dictionary of Ayapaneco,says the two men"don′t have a lot in common",and that Segovia can be"active"while Velasquez tends to mind his own business and stay at home.
While Segovia still speaks to his wife and son in Ayapaneco,neither of them can manage more than a few words.Velasquez hardly speaks his native tongue any more.Daniel is working to preserve the language in dictionary form before its last surviving speakers pass away.According to Daniel,Ayapaneco and other languages began dying out with the introduction of public Spanish education in the mid-20th century.For decades,local children weren′t allowed to speak anything else.Many people to cities,starting in the 1970s,also helped the dying out of native languages.
Ayapaneco is the name given to the language; Segovia and Velazquez call it"Nuumte Oote",which means"true voice".Neither man,however,speaks the language identically.The dictionary will contain two versions of the language when it comes out later this year.Those behind the dictionary aren′t the only ones trying to save Ayapaneco.The National Language Institute plans to hold classes so that Segovia and Velasquez can pass on what they know to children,which they don′t agree to.
It is thought that there are about 6,000 languages spoken on Earth and that about half will disappear over the next 100 years.Let′s hope the"true voice"isn′t one of them.

64.Segovia and Velazquez seldom talk to each other in Ayapaneco because theyD.
A.both dislike the language
B.hate each other
C.a(chǎn)re too busy to talk to each other
D.don′t share the same interest
65.Which are the main reasons why the language Ayapaneco started dying out?C
a.No teachers liked to teach it.
b.Local children had to speak Spanish.
c.The surviving speakers didn′t like to use it.
d.Many villagers went to live in cities.
A.a(chǎn),b B.a(chǎn),c C.b,d D.b,c
66.How does the National Language Institute try to save Ayapaneco?B
A.Write a dictionary of Ayapaneco.
B.Let Ayapaneco be taught at school.
C.Introduce a public Ayapaneco education.
D.Ask villagers to speak Ayapaneco.
67.From the text we learn that the authorD.
A.a(chǎn)grees that it is natural that Ayapaneco should die out
B.thinks Daniel′s effort to preserve Ayapaneco won′t work
C.thinks highly of Ayapaneco and wants people to learn it
D.hopes that Ayapaneco will not die out in the future.

5.I still remember the moment before boarding the airplane,my stomach was twisted in knots,and my arms carried the burdens of not only my luggage,but also past painful memories.I was sobbing,my face wearing homesickness and hope.It was my first experience moving to another country.I was like a frog who had lived at the bottom of a well seeing the world for the first time.I didn't want to leave home,but I didn't have much of a choice.
When I first arrived in Fairfax,I found everything extremely different.To begin with,drivers there drive on the other side of the road,which really confused me.The area is often completely lacking in humans.I was also overwhelmed by the silence of the place,a huge contrast to the constant hustle and bustle in Singapore.And the mild weather and the subtleness of the season changes were things I had never met before.I underwent a culture shock and it took a while to adapt.
Now,when I look back,it was a remarkable experience.I learned so many things.Since the pace of life is much slower in Fairfax,I was able to invest my time in picking up new hobbies like skiing and softball.Perhaps it was a part of the growing up process,but I think I grew much more confident from living there.And the opportunity to meet new people was really rewarding.However,I can't deny how scary it was to be taken out of my comfort zone like that.

25.How did the author feel when she was leaving for Fairfax?B
A.Excited and hopeful.
B.Sad and unwilling.
C.Calm and peaceful.
D.Confused and disappointed.
26.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?D
A.The driving habit in Fairfax is similar to that in Singapore.
B.The author felt that the climate didn't agree with her.
C.The author was impressed by a Fairfax full of life when arriving there.
D.It took the author some time to adapt to the newness in Fairfax.
27.How does the author feel now about her life in Fairfax?A
A.She feels it changed her for the better.
B.She quite enjoyed life comfortably.
C.She experienced much trouble and felt terrible.
D.She suffered a serious culture shock.
28.Which of the following can best describe the author?A
A.Emotional and courageous.
B.Confident and outgoing.
C.Humorous and mild.
D.Energetic and changeable.
