【解析】本文主要介紹了4本書(shū)，書(shū)名，書(shū)的價(jià)格，出版日期，以及簡(jiǎn)介。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。四本書(shū)的出版日期都是2006年，New Annotated Sherlock Holmes的日期是11月30 日，Breaking Ground是10月11日，In the Shadow of No Towers是9月2日，Light on Snow是10月7日，所以最新的出版的肯定是New Annotated Sherlock Holmes，作者是Arthur Conan Doyle.故答案為A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三本書(shū)的簡(jiǎn)介提到的On 11th September 2001, Art Spiegelman raced to the World Trade Center, not knowing if his daughter Nadja was alive or dead.也就是2001年的911事件，和題干描述的吻合，故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。第二本書(shū)Breaking Ground中可找到這樣一句：and about the powerful forces of tragedy, memory and hope.此句中有關(guān)鍵詞，tragedy；最后一本書(shū)Light on Snow中的簡(jiǎn)介A moving story of love and courage and tragedy and……，此句中有關(guān)鍵詞tragedy；所以這兩本書(shū)都提到了悲劇，故選A。

【題目】閱讀理解
Have you ever noticed that the more you have the more you want? Let's face it. Thinking our life is good enough doesn't come naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction. Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.
Focus on what you are thankful for. Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be. Focus on what you are thankful for. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.
When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our well-being. Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.
When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life we are likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position. Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.
When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you. Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you. Stay present and focus on the task you're undertaking at the moment. Don't let the life pass you by because you're always on the go and distracted by ambition.
Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment and it will become more natural.
（1）How can we live with contentment?
A.To change our lifestyle.
B.To have a motivation in life.
C.To give less attention to what we are grateful for.
D.To realize the difference between needs and desires.
（2）What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.Make wise decisions.
B.Know the present situation
C.Let go of regrets.
D.Remember the past.
（3）The underlined word “elide”(in Paragraph 5) probably means “____”.
A.enjoy
B.change
C.create
D.neglect
（4）What should you do to put yourself in a good mood?
A.Make time for simple pleasures.
B.Learn from successful people.
C.Focus on your future goals.
D.Create chance to learn more.

More and more foreigners like to come to China. Last Friday our school was invited a foreign teacher in our city give a class to the students of Senior Grade Two. We found his class interested. I learned a lot from him. The teacher had a free talk to us with easy English . He spoke slow so that we could understand him well. Sometimes he repeated what we don't understand. My classmates were all active in the class. To his joy, I understood everything the teacher said. And I was able to ask question in English. This class encouraged me very much. I'm sure that until we keep on practising, it will be easy for us to learn speaking English well.
