A man came home from work late, tired and found his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

“Daddy, may I ask you a question?” “Yeah, sure, what is it?” replied the man.  71  “If you must know, I make $20 an hour.” “Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. Then he looked up and said, “Daddy, may I borrow $10?” The father was angry, “If the only reason you asked for that is to borrow some money to buy a silly toy, then you should go to bed.”  72 

After about an hour or so, the man calmed down, and started to think. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often.  73  “Are you asleep, son?” He opened the door and asked. “No, Daddy,” replied the boy. “I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you just now.” said the man, “Here’s the $10 you asked for.”  74  “Oh, thank you, Daddy!” he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some small change.  75  “Why do you want more money if you have already had some?” the father asked angrily.

“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do.” The little boy replied, “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home earlier tomorrow, I would like to have dinner with you.”

A. Silently the little boy returned the money to his father with tears.

B. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

C. “Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”

D. “Daddy, how much do you spend a day?”

E. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room.

F. The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

G. The little boy sat straight up, smiling.

A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty –six days in a life-raft (救生艇) in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.

Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, Simony, they met some whales (鲸鱼). “They started to hit the side of the boat,” said Bill, “and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later, the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water.

For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water— two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw (生的). Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks (鲨鱼) came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.”

About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn’t stand up. So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over.

68. Bill and Simone were traveling ______ when they met some whales.

A. in a life-raft    B. in Miami     C. in Simony     D. in Panama

69. During their days at sea, ______ saved their lives.

A. tins of food and bottles of water    B. a fishing-line and a machine

C. whales and sharks               D. Twenty passing ships

70. After their boat sank, the couple ______.

A. jumped into the life-raft          B. heard water

C. watched the boat go under water   D. stayed in the life-raft

You have the ability to decide whether you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice.

You can’t depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early in my marriage. I realized that I couldn’t rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on myself and not my husband’s actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.

You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within, and it can’t be forced by outside force. So how do you choose happiness? The same way, you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit（一套衣服）. You choose it because that’s what you want to experience in you life.

You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feels good. You wouldn’t buy a pair of shoes that you don’t like or that doesn’t fit well, right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don’t make us feel good?

Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one else can do that for us. If we let others get to us, influence our emotions — we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.

We need to keep our feelings in check and not to react（反应） automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.

Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch（使转变）your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don’t dwell on（细想） what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.

64. What’s the best title of this passage?

         A. Pretend to Be Happy

         B. Choose Your Emotions

         C. Choose to Be Happy

         D. Find Happiness

65. The lesson the writer learned in her marriage is          .

         A. one can’t depend on someone else to make himself or herself happy

         B. balancing the relationship between husband and wife is an art

         C. she can depend on her husband to find happiness

         D. happiness can be influenced by outside force

66. Why did the writer mention buying shoes?

         A. To offer advice on how to choose comfortable shoes.

         B. To use it as an example to illustrate（阐述）her point of view.

         C. To compare choosing shoes and choosing an outfit.

         D. To help move to the next paragraph easily.

67. The writer suggests that we should          .

         A. let others control our feelings

         B. respond immediately to others’ words

         C. hold back our feelings properly

         D. pay more attention to words than actions

Lots of students shop to reduce stress or just to kill time with their friends. Shopping to get rid of boredom or to escape from life’s pressures may lead to serious problems. When you start to shop out of control, you become a shopping addict.

Shopping addicts show signs that are similar to other addicts. Some students think that shopping, even as little as buying gifts for classmates, can make them feel better and forget their problems. Actually, it can make them feel worse, guilty, or even cause them to run into financial difficulties. Finding yourself in a financial struggle or deep in debt may harm your relationships with friends and parents.

Do you go shopping for just a few things and come home with your wallet empty? Do you always go shopping after an emotional trauma or when life feels tough（艰难的）? Do you regret later what you buy? Or do you buy things that you never use? Maybe your parents or friends have expressed disagreement that leads you to hide items or lie about prices.

Avoid any environment that may make you want to spend money. Never use credit cards. Form some other meaningful and beneficial hobbies. Exercise, yoga and hot baths generally may help you not want to shop. Take a drive through the country where there aren’t any stores. Have patience with yourself and your money, which can benefit you for the rest of your life.

60. According to the passage, shopping addicts ______.

are always rich people             B. get well along with friends

C. may suffer financial difficulties      D. all the above

61. The third paragraph mainly tells about ______.

ways to get rid of shopping addiction

the signs of shopping addicts

the danger of shopping addiction

why shopping addicts can’t stop shopping

62. The underlined word “trauma” probably means “______”.

hurt       B. satisfaction      C. enjoyment    D. appreciation

63. The intended readers of the passage are ______.

teachers       B. doctors       C. students     D. education
