NewYork Tuesday April 12—Dustin Hoffman fan Pamela Crack got the shock of her life when the movie star telephoned her as she was doing her housework..

We let ourselves believe that life will be better once we are married, have a baby, then another. Then we get frustrated because our children are not old enough and that all will be well when they are older. Then we are frustrated because they reach teenage years and we must deal with them. Surely we'll be happier when they grow out of the teen years. We tell ourselves our life will be better when our spouse (配偶) gets his/her act together, when we have a nicer car, when we can take a vacation, when we finally retire. The truth is that there is no better time to be happy than right now. If not, then when? Your life will always be full of challenges. It is better to admit as much and to decide to be happy in spite of it all. For the longest time, it seemed that life was about to start—real life. But there were always some obstacles along the way, an ordeal (苦难) to get through, some work to be finished, some time to be given, a bill to be paid. Then life would start. I finally realized that those obstacles were part of life. Little by little, that point of view also helped me see that there isn't any road to happiness. Happiness is the road. So, enjoy every moment. And keep in mind that __________. So stop waiting for school to end, for a return to school, to lose ten pounds, to gain ten pounds, for work to begin, to get married, for Friday evening, for Sunday morning, waiting for a new car, for your mortgage(借款) to be paid off, for spring, for summer, for fall, for winter, for the first or the fifteenth of the month, for your song to be played on the radio, to die, to be reborn… before deciding to be happy. Happiness is a voyage, not a destination. There is no better time to be happy than… NOW! Live and enjoy the moment. 1.The most proper title for the passage should be______. A. Happiness Is a Frustration B. Happiness Is a Destination C. Happiness Is a Dream D. Happiness is a Process 2.The first two paragraphs mainly tell us_______. A. life is a worthwhile but challenging voyage B. so long as you believe you can, you can C. people tend to think the future will be brighter than now D. people feel confused about their life 3.The writer thinks _______is a real happiness A. setting our imagination free B. enjoying our present life C. finding our own shortcut to success D. facing obstacles and challenges bravely 4.Which of the sayings can fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph? A. time waits for no one B. time is money C. tomorrow is another day D. time can work wonders

The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the massacre (大屠杀) on the road may be regarded as a social problem . In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence (疏忽). Researchers have pointed out that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can result from the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can affect drivers’ reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be clear. The experts warn that it is important for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s emotion under control. Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not only caused by drivers. Street walkers regularly go against traffic rules, they are to blame in most vehicle walker accidents , and many cyclists even believe that they don’t obey the basic rules of the road. Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture (制造业) and through regular road-worthiness inspections (车辆上路安检). In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road. 1.The following is mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents except . A. careless bicycle riders B. people walking in the street C. irresponsible drivers D. irresponsible manufacturers of automobiles 2.Why does the author mention the psychological condition of the driver in Paragraph 3? A. To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents. B. To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy. C. To show some of the inaccurate statements by researchers. D. To show the hidden tensions in the course of driving 3.What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention. B. To promote understanding between careless drivers and street walkers. C. To discuss traffic problems and suggest possible solutions. D. To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving. 4.Which of the following best reflects the author’s attitude toward a future without traffic accident problems? A. Doubtful yet still longing for. B. Happy and rather confident. C. Surprised and very pleased. D. Disappointed and not concerned.

Many famous painters worked in Antwerp during the city’s period of greatest power but Peter Paul Rubens is undoubtedly the most famous one of them. Known as Rubens House, the palace-like residence(大宅) and studio where Rubens worked and lived from 1616 until his death in 1640 is now one of Antwerp’s most visited museums. Almost all of the works Rubens and his students created in the Rubens House have been dispersed (分散) over major museums across the whole world, but there is still an impressive collection well worth the visit. Besides paintings form the master himself you will find other works of art and furniture of the 17th century as well as paintings from his students, including works by Jacob Jordaens and Anthony Van Dyck. The Rubens House was not only a studio but also a meeting place for the rich and famous. His clients(委托人) included wealthy merchants, diplomats, and there were also many noblemen who often visited his studio to see how work progressed. The Rubens House even had a special viewing area which allowed visitors to see the artists at work. Ruben bought the house at the beginning of the 17th century after his eight-year-long stay in Italy. Influenced by Italian architecture, he rebuilt the building into an Italian-styled palace with a beautiful garden and moved in the house in1616. After his death the building was sold. New owners modified the building greatly and by 1937, when the building was purchased by the city of Antwerp, it hardly resembled the original structure. The impressive entrance hall, which connected the studio and the residence, is one of the few parts that survived. Other parts have been carefully restored and reconstructed after original plans and paintings of the house. 1.As a museum, the Rubens House is popular because _______. A. it lies in the famous city of Antwerp B. it holds all the works by Rubens and his students C. there are many people who enjoy visiting it D. Rubens, a great artist, lived and worked there 2.We can learn from the third paragraph that _______. A. the Rubens House was popular with upper-class people B. the Rubens House was the best studio in its time C. Rubens’s students included noblemen and diplomats D. people were not allowed to view the artists working 3.What can be inferred from the text? A. Thanks to its great painters, Antwerp became a rich city. B. Ruben possibly showed strong interest in Italian buildings. C. Antwerp must be a historical city in Italy. D. The Rubens House was completely rebuilt before 1937. 4.Which of the following is TRUE, according to the text? A. Rubens created his works by working with his students. B. A beautiful garden was added to the Rubens House by new owners. C. The Rubens House is decorated with furniture of the 17th century. D. Today’s Rubens House looks like its original structure.

Which of the
following is the correct order of events mentioned in the article?
From
school to band Practice, the Venturi Eclectic is an Earth-friendly way to get
where you want to go. This battery-powered, zero-emission (meaning it doesn't
pollute the air) vehicle runs mainly on renewable energy. Solar panels on the
Eclectic's roof absorb sun rays when you're driving. On windy days, you can
connect a machine to the car's roof that collects energy from the wind while
you're parked. The Eclectic's top speed is 28 miles an hour; the battery lasts
for 31 miles before it needs to be recharged. Zipping (迅速行进) around the neighborhood has never been better.
Here's
an eco-friendly way to tell time: Simply fill the Bedol Water-powered Clock's
tank (箱) with water, add some lemon juice, and the clock will
display the time without the need for environmentally harmful batteries. There
are two sets of metal electrodes (电极) inside the water
tank. Water contains ions (离子) that carry
negative and positive charges. These ions complete a charge between the
electrodes, creating enough energy to power the clock. Just refill the tank
every few weeks, and this clock will keep on ticking.
Bloodhound
SuperSonic Car (SSC) will be the first car to attempt to break the
l,000-mile-an-hour barrier. (The current record is 763 miles an hour.) A
concept for now, the rocket-shaped car gets its original push to 350 miles an
hour from a jet engine. Then a rocket fires up, pushing the SSC past 1,000
miles an hour. In order to keep the car streamlined (流线型的), the driver lies back at a 45-degree angle (角度).
），在该行右边横线上写出该加的词。
