16.Many Europeans have not only weekends and bank holidays but also five to seven weeks paid leave.Usually parents plan to spend three or four weeks with the family in summer.Because of my earlier years in China,I found it difficult to understand the European attitude towards holidays.
During my childhood in the 1960s,my parents were always busy with work and meetings.I was left alone with Grandma.The only long period of time we could get together once a year was the Spring Festival.I missed our parents badly,but didn't say so because I had been told that hard work was everyone's duty and that we could not have our own small family without a big family.
Later I was a hard-working student at university.I was always told holidays were a waste of time and I felt as if I had done something wrong if I did nothing during a holiday.
I didn't change this idea until I met my boss abroad.When I called him at home after office hours for business,he politely told me he preferred talking about work with me in the office.
When the holiday season came near,he asked me to plan my holidays.He told me holiday was a right for everyone.
Giving up a holiday for the company is encouraged in China,but is foolish here.I began to think about holidays.
 Nowadays,Chinese take long weekends and have paid holidays.But do they use their holidays to enjoy family life?I hope so because my experience in China and Europe has helped me understand that work is not my whole life and that a family is also very important.I do not want to feel sorry in the future and I certainly spend as much time with my son as possible.
There is nothing wrong with either working hard or taking holidays,but we shouldn't have one instead of the other.It is important to keep a balance between work and play.

93.Did the writer find it easy to understand the European attitude towards holidays at first?No,he didn't
94.Why was the writer left alone with Grandma during his childhood?Because his parents were always busy with work and meetings.
95.When did the writer change his idea on holidays?He didn't change his idea until he met his boss abroad..
96.Who thought holiday was a right for everyone?The boss.
97.What has helped the writer understand the meaning of holiday better?The writer's experience in China and Europe.
98.Which do you prefer when a holiday comes,working hard or taking holidays?Why?I prefer taking holidays because I don't think work is my whole life.

分析 许多欧洲人不仅有周末和银行假期,而且还有五到七周的带薪休假.通常父母计划在夏天和家人待三到四周.因为我前几年在中国,我发现很难理解欧洲人对假期的态度.
在20世纪60年代在我的童年,我的父母总是忙于工作和会议.我独自一人和奶奶在一起.我们一年只能相聚一次是春节.我很想念我们的父母,但没有这么说,因为有人告诉我,努力工作是每个人的职责,我们不能只顾自己的小家庭而不顾一个大家庭.
后来我在大学是一个勤奋的学生.我总是告诉假日是浪费时间,我觉得好像我做错了什么,如果我在假期什么都没有做.
直到我在国外遇到我的老板,我才改变了这个想法.当我下班后在家里给他打电话时,他礼貌地告诉我他更喜欢和我在办公室谈论工作.
假期临近时,他让我计划假期.他告诉我假期是每个人的权利.
放弃公司的假期是鼓励在中国,但这里是愚蠢的.我开始考虑假期.
现在中国人周末长,带薪假期.但是他们利用假期享受家庭生活吗?我希望如此,因为我在中国和欧洲的经历帮助我明白工作不是我生活的全部,一个家庭也很重要.我不想在未来感到遗憾,我当然尽可能花尽可能多的时间与我的儿子在一起.
努力工作或度假没有错,但我们不应该有一个代替另一个.在工作和娱乐之间保持平衡是很重要的.

解答 93.No,he didn't.细节理解题,根据I found it difficult to understand the European attitude towards holidays可知作者很难理解欧洲人对假期的态度,故答案为:No,he didn't.
 94.Because his parents were always busy with work and meetings.细节理解题,根据my parents were always busy with work and meetings.I was left alone with Grandma可知因为父母总是忙于工作和会议.作者独自一人和奶奶在一起,故答案为:Because his parents were always busy with work and meetings.
95.He didn't change his idea until he met his boss abroad.细节理解题,根据I didn't change this idea until I met my boss abroad可知到作者在国外遇到老板,才改变了这个想法,故答案为:He didn't change his idea until he met his boss abroad.
96.The boss.细节理解题,根据He told me holiday was a right for everyone可知是老板告诉我假期是每个人的权利,故答案为:The boss.
97.The writer's experience in China and Europe.细节理解题,根据I hope so because my experience in China and Europe has helped me understand that work is not my whole life and that a family is also very important可知因为作者在中国和欧洲的经历帮助他明白工作不是生活的全部,故答案为:The writer's experience in China and Europe.
98.I prefer taking holidays because I don't think work is my whole life.理解题,本题答案不唯一,只回答出假期是工作还是度假,并说出原因即可,故答案为:I prefer taking holidays because I don't think work is my whole life.

11.In many countries around the world May 1is a holiday.Labor Day,or Workers'Day,is an international holiday that honors working men and women,and the jobs they do.
During the late 1880s,in many parts of the world,people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories,and earned very little money.In the United States and Canada,working people got together to try to make their workplaces better.These groups of people formed Unions.The union leaders asked company directors for shorter work days and higher pays,but many of them dismissed the ideas.On May 1,1886,men and women in the United States and Canada stopped work and marched through cities and towns to try and force bosses to let them work an eight-hour day.In the city of Chicago,several people died in fights with the police.Over the next few years,people in cities around the world stopped working every May 1to honor workers everywhere.By the early twentieth century,the first of May was a national holiday in many countries.
In the United States and Canada,May 1is not a holiday.North Americans celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday in September.Today in the United States,Labor Day is mostly about having fun.People enjoy a long weekend,and often celebrate by having barbecues or picnics with friends or family.In many parts of the United States,Labor Day is also the last day of summer vacation and students return to school the next day.

64.Is the Labor Day another name for Workers'Day?Yes
65.Who formed the first Unions?Working people in the United States and Canada
66.When did people first stop work for an eight-hour day?On May 1,1886
67.How does the North Americans celebrate their Labor Day?By having barbecues or picnics with friends or family
68.What does the passage mainly want to tell us?How the Labour Day came (into being)/appeared/formed and how people celebrate it..

8.Happiness is for everyone.You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on.Why?Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact,happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it.When you are in trouble at school,your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons,your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success,your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong,people around you will help you to correct it.And when you do something good to others,you will feel happy,too.All these are your happiness.If you notice them,you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money.It is a feeling of your heart.When you are poor,you can also say you are very happy,because you have something else that can't be bought with money.
When you meet with difficulties,you can say loudly you are very happy,because you have more chances to challenge (挑战)yourself.So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck.As the saying goes,life is like a revolving (旋转) door.When it closes,it also opens.If you take every chance you get,you can be a happy and lucky person.

36.Happiness is forD.
A.those who have large and beautiful houses 
B.those who have cars
C.those who have a lot of money          
D.all people

A.people around you will help you

D.you will be happy
38.Which is true according to the passage?D.
A.When you get success,your friends will be very proud of you.
B.You can get help from others when you make mistakes.
C.You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.
D.All the above.
39.Why do we say"Happiness is not the same as money"?BecauseB.
A.money always brings happiness         
B.money doesn't always bring happiness
C.everything can be bought with money   
D.only rich people have  happiness
40.Which is the title of the passage?A.
A.Happiness                     
B.Happy and Lucky
C.Do Something Good to Others    
D.life and Success.

6.A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas (圣诞节) present.On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office,a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car."Is this your car,Paul?"he asked.
Paul answered,"Yes,my brother gave it to me for Christmas."The boy was surprised."You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing?Boy,I wish…"He hesitated (犹豫).Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for.He was going to wish he had a brother like that.But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly."I wish,"the boy went on,"that I could be a brother like that."Paul looked at the boy in surprise,then he said again,"Would you like to take a ride in my car?""Oh yes,I'd love to."
After a short ride,the boy turned and with his eyes shining,said,"Paul,would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little.He thought he knew what the boy wanted.He wanted to show his neighbors (邻居) that he could ride home in a big car.But Paul was wrong again.When the car stopped,the boy ran up to the steps.Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back,but he was not coming fast.He was carrying his little crippled (残疾的) brother.He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
"There he is,Buddy,just like I told you upstairs.His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent (美分).And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about."
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.The shining-eyed elder brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable (难忘的) holiday ride.
