Passage 6( 2014 江苏常州,D) 

    For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened,and there was nothing special about it.Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at.It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better.One way is being unselfish,not wanting everything from our friends. Another way is to look for good points,not bad points in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.

    You do not have to be spineless (优束寡断的) in order to be popular.In fact,you will be liked or loved if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights (正当行为) .Bui do it politely ami pleasantly.Being friendly and polite to your gioup,to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.

    You cannot expect to be perfect,and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes.Everyone makes mistakes,and no one is to be blamed if he does not refuse to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged (灰心丧气的) when they know in themselves qualities that they do not like—selfishness,laziness,and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these faults (缺点) and have to fight against them.

    At the same time,it is important to remember that while you are probably no worse than others,the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong,it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you do not like a teacher or a classmate.Try to see why,and look at yourself,too,to he sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you. Some day,things may turn out all right when you have to learn to get along the best with the situation,without thinking too much about it. Wor?rying never helps in a situation you cannot change. 


l. One of the two ways the writer suggests for us to get along with oth?ers is to  .

  A. work hard at everything we do 

  B. enjoy the best share of everything 

  C. look for treasure in order to be successful 

  D. pay more attention to their strong points

2. If a person wants to be popular,he or she has to    .

  A. be polite and friendly

  B. give up some rights 

  C. get away arguing with other people 

  D. be ready to change his or her character 

3. No person but someone should he blamed if he or she    .

  A. is modest and generous 

  B. does not draw a lesson from his or her own mistake 

  C. is selfish and lazy 

  D. is very unhappy with unpleasant quality 

4. The purpose for the writer to write the passage is to    .

  A. train you to be perfect 

  B. show you the way to be happy 

  C. tell you how to act when you dislike a person

  D. teach you how to be popular among your friends

1. D 2. A 3. B 4. B

    (1) I was only an 11-year-old girl when my parents told me that we would soon move to America.We were on the bus then.Iwascry-ing,and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me.I remember that. I could not bear (忍受) the thought of never hearing the radio program for school children again which I listened to every morning.

    In fact,1 think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving,I even felt a little excited because I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places T had known only from books and pictures.

    The first four years in America taught me the importance of optimism ,but the idea did not come to me at once.For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools and 1(2)  most of my time ( 2 )  learning the English language.I hardly had any time for fun. Sometimes I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried (再 婚) ,and things became even harder for me.It took me some time to get used to my stepfather (继父) . 1 was often sad,and saw no end to “the hard times”.

    I had to do many things for the family since I knew English better than everyone else at home.I wrote letters,filled out forms,translated (SI ) all kinds of information and took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there.
