Passage 1

　　There is something in the world．It has no shape, no color and no weight．It can’t be seen or touched．But everyone wants it very much．People try to get it in many ways．Some people think money means it, so they try to make more money; some people believe that knowledge can bring it to them, so they study very hard; some other people find only good health can make themselves get it, so they take part in all kinds of sports and games．Now, you may ask what on earth the mysterious thing is．That’s HAPPINESS．I can’t give you the exact meaning of happiness, but I’m sure if you love and help others, you’ll get it．

　　I’ll never forget an old lady．She lives in a small house alone．It’s said that her husband and her son died in a traffic accident．What a sorrowful life she has! But the old lady often helps others with a smile．Whenever it snows, she is always the first to clean the paths(小路)．She looks after several children living nearby．I am one of them．I often remember the stories she told us and her kind smile．Perhaps she is unlucky, but I think she is a happy person．Her life is full of laughter and love．

　　But I’m sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways．They speak loudly in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees to enjoy themselves and they laugh at others’ shortcomings．Perhaps they feel happy at that time, but they will never get true happiness because they have destroyed others’ happiness．

　　Now I know what happiness is．It means kindness, love and unselfishness．Above all, only bringing happiness to others can make yourself happy．

Passage 2

　　Happiness is the most precious thing in the world, which can be obtained in different ways．

　　From my point of view, being in a good mood anytime and anywhere is the first thing for those who want to be happy．There is an old saying going like this, “Happiness belongs to somebody who is content．” I still remember a story my mother told me when I was a child．A millionaire tries every means to seek after pleasure but to feel unhappy．But a poor man with nothing always feels happy．Why are they so different? The answer is that the rich man is always thinking how he can gain more while the poor man is satisfied with what he owns at hand－h(huán)ealth, freedom, love and so on．

　　Furthermore, if you have love in your heart, you will have happiness in your life．Love consists of two parts, one is to love others, and the other is to be loved by others．Lei Feng set a good example for all of us．He served the people whole-heartedly until the last minute of his life．He regarded serving the people as the happiest thing．There are numbers of similar inspirational stories to be found．In addition, being loved by others can also lead you to happiness．Courage from your parents when frustrated, care from your lover when ill, help from your friends when in trouble…all of these will make you the happiest person in the world．

　　The last but not least is to act happily．Putting on a happy face and thinking interesting things are helpful to trigger happy feelings．

While happiness is precious, it is easy to get．

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling----jealousy(嫉妒). The                                         green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and she does not
1. Greenhorn now refers to ____.

B. whose thumbs are in green color
C. whose garden is greener than others’      
D. who is younger than his neighbors
3. The author is actually talking about ___

4. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. In about the 16th century, a greenhorn meant an experienced soldier.

閱讀下面短文，并按照題目要求用英語問答問題（請(qǐng)注意問題后詞數(shù)要求）。

Making friends can be difficult, especially these days with so many peer pressures. If you want to develop a more pleasing personality and make friends，become genuinely(真正地) interested in other people and show kindness. You may be wearing the latest designer label clothes，the hottest brand shoes and the coolest jewelry, but if you display sourness and selfishness you’ll have a battle ahead of you to make good friends.

Smile...smile and continue to smile. It costs nothing, enriches those who receive it, happens in a flash(閃爍)but the memory lasts forever；it creates happiness in the home and classroom. A smile can not be bought，begged or borrowed，it comes from the heart. If you want other people to like you, make the other persons feel important, and do it sincerely!

Choose your friends carefully. If others try to persuade you to smoke, take drugs, steal，gamble, fight etc...dare to say NO. Doing the wrong thing is the quickest way to lose friends，especially honest, good and upright friends.

Being mentally strong is not always easy but let me assure you that the more you practise it，the easier it becomes. Soon those who thought they were trendy will want to dress like you，talk like you and be with you because you have a personality which is different. People like being different! By being an individual with your own personality you can achieve the very best experiences in your life. You may not ever have many friends but let me tell you that it is better to have one good friend than ten dishonest friends who will stab you in the back at the very first opportunity that arises.

1.What prevents your from making good friends according to Paragraph 1? ( Within 3words)

Ⅵ．閱讀表達(dá)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）

閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題。

We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded. and missed the other car’s back end by just inches! The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head angrily and started yelling bad words at us. 

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was friendly. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to hospital!” And this was what my taxi driver told me, which I call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”.

Many people are like garbage trucks and they run around full of garbage, full of frustration , full of anger, and full of disappointment. And their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump（傾倒）it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. You just simile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You’ll be happy you did.

So this was it: “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. I started thinking: how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people: at home , on the streets? It was that day I said, “I’m not going to do that any more.”

I began to see garbage trucks. I see the burden they are carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my taxi driver, I don’t                            . I just simile, wave, and move on.

Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. What about you? The mark of a successful person is how quickly they can get back their focus on what’s important.
