    I always long for romantic moments, like a little girl longing for candies．However, my husband is my complete  36 . His inability to bring romantic moments into our life has made me get tired of our   37 . One day, I finally told him that I wanted a divorce.

    “I am tired; there are no  39  for everything in the world!” I answered.

    Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered, “Let’s say, I want a flower on a mountain cliff and picking the flower will cause your  42  . Will you do it for me?”
    He answered, “I will give you my answer tomorrow.”
    I   43 the next morning, finding a piece of paper on the dining table, which read: “My dear, I would not pick that flower for you, but please allow me to   44  .”
    My feeling of disappointment only   45 , but I continued reading:
    “You always leave the   46  keys behind, so I have to save my legs to  47  home to open the door for you. You always like to stay indoors and I   48  that you will feel too lonely, so I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories. You always stare   49  the computer and that will do nothing  50  for your eyes, so I have to save my eyes so that when we grow   51  , I can help to clip your nails. Thus, my dear,   52  I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do, I could not pick that flower yet, and die.”
    My tears fell on the   53 and I continued reading:
    “Now that you have finished reading my answer, if you are   54  , please open the front door for I am standing outside   55  your favorite bread and fresh milk.”

    Yesterday she came to me and said：“I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me cutting．I  22 you so much，and you didn’t even know you were   23 me．”
    We both cried．And I guess a kind of   24 from my life so far is never to give up on your friends．Even if they aren’t as cool as others，or people think they are crazy，they need someone there．If you desert them，you will only be  25 yourself. So if a friend needs you, and you care for them, you can never desert them.

    Attitude is an internal state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual. Some researchers consider that attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas; others believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by the individual.
    The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages one’s husband or wife to express his or her own ideas—all are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the school.
    Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks no one will notice. But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is what is meant by an attitude.
    Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single incidents, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the individual’s experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acquires a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them. And frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences, there is something in common in the learning and modification（修正）of attitudes.
    小题1: According to the passage, attitudes _________.
    A．come from different situations in one’s life
    B．are largely affected by one’s behavior
    C．remain unchanged in one’s daily life
    D．could be chosen according to one’s will
    小题2:The author uses the examples in Paragraph 3 to show _________.
    A．people often make mistakes when they are not noticed
    B．people with good attitudes may sometimes do bad deeds
    C．particulars of a situation may influence an individual’s action
    D．an individual may change his or her attitude fairly easily
    小题3:Which of the following is TRUE about the learning of attitudes?
    A．Attitudes are only learned through one’s success.
    B．Attitudes learned in danger will last longer.
    C．Copying others behavior is not a good idea.
    D．Attitudes can be learned from one’s parents.
    小题4:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Differences of Attitudes.
    B．Nature of Attitude.
    C．Choices of Attitudes.
    D．Modification of Attitude.

    Over the last 70 years．researchers have been studying happy and Unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference．Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes．However of all the factors，wealth and age are the top two．
    Money can buy a degree of happiness．But once you can afford to feed，clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference．
    Researchers find that，on average，wealthier people are happier．But the link between money and happiness is complex．In the past half-century, average income has sharply increased in developed countries，yet happiness levels have remained almost the same．Once your basic needs are met，money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends，neighbors and colleagues．
    “Dollars buy Status(社会地位)，and status makes people feel better,” conclude some experts，which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways-scientists or actors，for example-may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs．
    In a research，Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires-not just for money，but for friends，family, job，health-rose furthest beyond what they already had，tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap(差距)．Indeed，the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone．“The gap measures just blow away the only measures of income，”says Michalos．
    Another factor that has to do with happiness is age．Old age may not be so bad．“Given all the problems of aging，how could the elderly be more satisfied?” asks Professor Laura Carstensen．
    Why are old people happier? Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it，or they're more realistic about their goals，only setting ones that they know they can achieve．But Carstensen thinks that with time running out，older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don't．
    “People realize not only what they have，but also that what they have cannot-last forever,” she says．“A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85，for example，may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20.”
    小题1:According to the passage，the feeling of happiness _________.   
    A．has little to do with wealthB．increases gradually with age
    C．is measured by desiresD．is determined partly by genes
    小题2:Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs _________.
    A．make them feel much betterB．provide chances to make friends
    C．improve their social positionD．satisfy their professional interests
    小题3:Aged people are more likely to feel happy because they are more _________.   
    A．optimisticB．practicalC．successfulD．emotional
    小题4:Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less happy if __________.
    A．the gap between reality and desire is bigger
    B．they have a stronger desire for friendship
    C．their income is below their expectation
    D．the hope for good health is greater

    For 52 years my father got up every morning at 5:30 am, except Sunday, and went to work. He returned home at 5:30 pm, for dinner at 6:00 pm. I never remember my father having a night out with his children. All he asked from me as a daughter was to hold his hammer while he repaired something, just so we could have some time to talk to each other.
    For 22 years, after I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday. Nine years ago, my father, 67 years old, spent three days painting my house. He asked me to hold the paint brush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy and I could not take the time to hold the paint brush, or talk to my father.
    Five years ago, my father spent five hours making a swing（秋千）for my daughter. Again, all he asked me to do was to give him a glass of tea, and talk to him. But again, I had some clothes to wash, and the house to clean.
    On January 16, 1996, my father telephoned me as usual, this time from my sister’s home in Florida. I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short.
    The call came at 4:40 pm. That day, my father was in hospital in Florida. I got on an airplane immediately, and on the way, I made up my mind that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him.
    I arrived in Florida at 1:00 am, but my father had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.
    小题1:
    When the author was young, her father ______.
    A．was busy with his workB．disliked his children
    C．often talked to his childrenD．never cared about his children
    小题2:
    How old was the author’s father when he made a swing for his granddaughter?
    A．45.B．67.C．71.D．76.
    小题3:
    When painting the house, the father asked the author to hold a paint brush because ______.
    A．he wanted to make his work easy
    B．he was too old to work all by himself
    C．he just wanted his daughter to help him
    D．he wanted to have a talk with his daughter
    小题4:
    The underlined phrase “passed away” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.
    A．arrivedB．lostC．leftD．died

    Count Me Out
    Call me old-fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want, but I refuse to become part of this new Internet world.
    I do not possess a computer at home or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago, when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking importance, over the telephone. Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned the number shown. Then you spoke to the fellow and asked for further details.
    Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure for cancer and this is what it said: “Awareness is the key. Visit spfulford. com at the awareness site.” There was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a computer do if they are seeking a cure for their illness?
    There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet. You can, for example, send love messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online. This bit doesn’t interest me; I have been happily married for 60 years. There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding love. They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors.
    And this is by no means all. More amazing things are yet to come in the near future. I read a newspaper report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist. “The complexity of a computer as it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm,” he said. “But, as technology advances, computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop ‘consciousness.’ In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own.”
    If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude to computers. As I grow older each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.
