    (2013·高考天津卷，D)When asked about happiness，we usually think of something extraordinary，an absolute delight，which seems to get rarer the older we get.
    For kids，happiness has a magical quality.Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved (毫不掩饰的)．
    In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes.Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement，love and popularity.I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.
    In adulthood the things that bring deep joy－love，marriage，birth－also bring responsibility and the risk of loss.For adults，happiness is complicated (复杂的)．
    My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”．The more we can enjoy what we have，the happier we are.It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends，the freedom to live where we please，and even good health.
    I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday.First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch­box and had the house to myself.Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing，which I love.When the kids and my husband came home，I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.
    Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work.I don’t think that my grandmother，who raised 14 children，had much of either.She did have a network of close friends and family，and maybe this is what satisfied her.
    We，however，with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area，have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have.We’re so self­conscious about our “right” to it that it’s making us miserable.So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success，without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier.
    Happiness isn’t about what happens to us－it’s about how we see what happens to us.It’s the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative.It’s not wishing for what we don’t have，but enjoying what we do possess.
    小题1:As people grow older，they________.
    A．feel it harder to experience happiness
    B．associate their happiness less with others
    C．will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness
    D．tend to believe responsibility means happiness
    小题2:What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?
    A．She cares little about her own health.
    B．She enjoys the freedom of traveling.
    C．She is easily pleased by things in daily life.
    D．She prefers getting pleasure from housework.
    小题3:What can be inferred from Paragraph 7?
    A．Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness.
    B．Psychologists’ opinion is well proved by Grandma’ case.
    C．Grandma often found time for social gatherings.
    D．Grandma’s happiness came from modest expectations of life.
    小题4:People who equal happiness with wealth and success________.
    A．consider pressure something blocking their way
    B．stress their right to happiness too much
    C．are at a loss to make correct choices
    D．are more likely to be happy
    小题5:What can be concluded from the passage?
    A．Happiness lies between the positive and the negative.
    B．Each man is the master of his own fate.
    C．Success leads to happiness.
    D．Happy is he who is content.

    I am a writer.I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke(唤起)an emotion，a visual image，a complex idea，or a simple truth.Language_is_the_tool_of_my_trade.And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.

    Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California，I've been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks.Like others，I have described it to people as “broken” English.But I feel embarrassed to say that.It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than“broken”，as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed，as if it lacked a certain wholeness.I've heard other terms used，“limited English”， for example.But they seem just as bad，as if everything is limited，including people's perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker.
    I know this for a fact，because when I was growing up, my mother's “limited” English limited my perception of her.I was ashamed of her English.I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say.That is，because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me：the fact that people in department stores，at banks，and at restaurants did not take her seriously，did not give her good service，pretended not to understand her，or even acted as if they did not hear her.
    I started writing fiction in 1985.And for reasons I won't get into today，I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with：the English she used with me，which for lack of a better term might be described as“broken”：and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese，her internal(内在的)language，and for that I sought to preserve the essence，but neither an English nor a Chinese structure.I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show：her intention，her feelings，the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
    小题1:By saying“Language is the tool of my trade”，the author means that ________.
    A．she uses English in foreign trade
    B．she is fascinated by languages
    C．she works as a translator
    D．she is a writer by profession
    小题2:The author used to think of her mother's English as ________.
    A．impoliteB．amusingC．imperfectD．practical
    小题3:The author gradually realizes her mother's English is ________.
    A．well structuredB．in the old style
    C．easy to translateD．rich in meaning
    小题4:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．The change of the author's attitude to her mother's English.
    B．The limitation of the author's perception of her mother.
    C．The author's misunderstanding of “limited” English.
    D．The author's experiences of using broken English.

    Do you know how much your children sleep?
    According to the National Sleep Foundation,       should sleep twelve to eighteen hours       of every twenty-four. With a gradual        to twelve to fourteen hours for toddlers(初学走路的孩子) one to three; eleven to thirteen hours for        three to five; and ten to eleven hours for schoolchildren        five to ten.
    But things get really      at adolescence. Not only do teenagers need more sleep than    __---eight and a half to nine and a quarter hours a night, according to the sleep foundation - but the times          which they get sleepy and are able to awaken         and feel rested shift in a       that does not match to the       times at most schools.
    Sleep studies have shown that the typical teenager does not fall asleep readily before 11 p. m. or later.       many have to get up by 6 a. m. or         to get to school for a class         starts at 7:30 or 8 a.m. More than a few        off during that class, and often the         one as well. Even if awake, they're in no condition to learn much of anything.
    In one study, more than 90 percent of teenagers        they slept less than the          nine hours a night, and 10 percent said they slept less than six hours.
          _ James B. Maas, a Cornell University psychologist and Leading sleep researcher, has observed, most teenagers are "walking zombies(僵尸)"        they get far too little sleep.

    Our teacher asks us to keep a diary in English. I enjoy doing so because I          keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to      our English writing ability.
    Compared with       forms of writing, it is shorter and       less time. It can help us to       the habit of thinking in English.         we persist in (坚持) this practice, gradually we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English,         can use the important phrases and sentences we’ve        in or out of English classes to describe our        , and this way we can master and use freely       we’ve learned, which will do good         us in English learning. But      we certainly run up against many difficulties. In the first place, it often happens that we have       finding proper words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there        many idiomatic(惯用的) ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them       English properly.
    As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is that we          always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever         beats （难倒）us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then look it up in our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for          , if necessary.
    In short, I believe that it is of          use to keep a diary in English for the development of our          skills.

    A shop worker nicknamed(绰号) Little Fatty told of his shock at becoming a Susan Boyle-like Internet star after a perfect Whitney Houston performance on a TV talent(才能)show.

    Researchers claimed that waitresses who wear red get up to 26 percent extra in tips than they would wearing other colors. However, the team finds that the sexes tip very differently—with the bigger tips coming only from male customers.
    No matter what color they wear, female diners will give the same kind of amounts for service every time. Yet men, whether they realize it or not, add anything between 15 and 26 percent more to a waitress in red than they would if it was the same waitress wearing a different color.
    The test was simple. Take 11 waitresses in five restaurants over a six-week period and ask them to wear the same kind of T-shirt every day but change the colors. Previous research has suggested waitresses could earn more if they acted charmingly or wore more make-up than their colleagues. But this study, by the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Research, only changed the color of the T-shirt. Every other aspect from make-up to behavior remained the same.
    When wearing either black, white, green, blue or yellow T-shirts, the size of the tips from both male and female customers was almost identical. But when they wore red, the size of the tips went up by between 15 and 26 percent from male customers, yet stayed the same from female ones. 
    A total of 272 restaurant customers were studied by researchers Nicolas Gueguen and Celine Jacob for the international journal of the tourism industry.
    Even as a T-shirt, it shows just how much the color red is thought, by men, to increase the physical and sexual attractiveness of woman, said the researchers.
    The researchers wrote: As red color has no negative effect on women customers, it could be in their interest to wear clothes at work.
    小题1:The underlined word “identical” in Para. 4 probably means____________________.
    A．differentB．similarC．the sameD．close
    小题2: According to the passage, in the research by the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Research waitresses could earn more by _________________.
    A．wearing red T-shirtsB．putting on attractive make-up
    C．changing the color of T-shirtsD．behaving themselves
    小题3:Which of the following is right according to the passage?
    A．Bright color can increase the physical and sexual attractiveness of women.
    B．Waitresses in red make no difference to female customers.
    C．Make-up makes no difference to man customers.
    D．Whether male customers tips more or not depends on service.
    小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．People tip differently if waitresses wear different make-up.
    B．Waitresses who wear red get more tips than they would wearing other colors.
    C．Male customers are more interested in the red color.
    D．Red color has no negative effect on female customers.

    Sushi is a kind of food made with a mixture of cooked or raw fish, vegetables, and rice. Although Sushi is most commonly considered to have its origin in Japan, it actually began in China during the 7th Century.
    At that time, any fish caught had to be preserved. Raw fish was cleaned and then pressed between layers of heavy salt. After a couple of months, the whole process was complete. Over time, a discovery was made that by rolling the fish in rice that had been soaked in vinegar the fish was easily fermented (发酵) in a few days rather than months. The rice was then thrown away and the fish was eaten. However, with a food shortage, people began consuming the rice as well as the fish and thus, Sushi today as we know was born. However, in the 1800s, a famous chef by the name of Yohei created two styles of Sushi—one called Edo, and the second, Osaka, for two cities.
    Sushi is usually consumed with hot green tea. Also, Gari is offered free and eaten between bites to create a better taste. Two kinds of sauce are usually available: one is soy sauce, which is poured on most kinds of Sushi; the other is a thick sweet sauce used on eel (鳗鱼).
    Sushi has taken the world by storm and today is a multi-billion dollar industry. Its popularity continues to rise because people are looking for healthy food that is quick and easy to make. With such unbelievable popularity as well as the health benefits of eating Sushi, it is likely that this food will continue to be a part of everyday life for many more centuries to come.
    小题1:Two kinds of Sushi, Edo and Osaka, were probably named after _______.
    A．the chef’s nameB．their birthplaces
    C．the name of fishD．some kinds of food
    小题2:When people eat Sushi, Gari is used to _______.
    A．keep Sushi last long
    B．make green tea better
    C．digest Sushi more quickly
    D．make Sushi more delicious
    小题3:Why do people like Sushi today?
    A．It is cheap and delicious.
    B．It is served with free Gari.
    C．It is beneficial to people’s health.
    D．It is easy to be kept for a long time.
    小题4:What can be the best title for the text?
    A．Delicious Sushi and Its Origin
    B．How to Make Delicious Sushi
    C．Yohei and Two Styles of Sushi

    Maybe you know the saying, “When you point one finger, there are three fingers pointing back to you.” One wise man had a version of this       when he said, “Don't focus on the dust in your brother's eye while       the dirt in your own eye.” Why do we do this? Because criticisms are always        ourselves. When we criticize others, we do not expose them, but expose ourselves. We      our own weakness and smallness.
    A story in the old tales       the difference in wisdom between the good and the bad. Once a king        both Nelson and Dick. The king asks Nelson to go out into the kingdom and       after finding someone less qualified than himself. Then he asks Dick to go out into the kingdom and return after finding someone       than himself.
    When Fool Dick returns, he tells the king that he couldn't find anyone better than himself.       Wise Nelson says that he was       to find anyone less qualified than himself on his return.
    Moral of the story is something about human      . Good people always look at their own       and faults and consider themselves less qualified than others. Whereas bad people always look at the shortcomings and faults of others and       themselves more qualified than others.
