I sang everything,” Gloria said. “Cubans,” she added, “are a musical people”.Gloria was b

24、orn in Cuba in 1957. Her family left the country just before Fidel Castro came to power. In Miami, where the family settled, many people did not accept Cuban immigrants. In first grade, she spoke little English, but she worked hard to learn the language. Six months after she entered school, she won

25、an award for reading in English!When Gloria was ten, her father returned from the Vietnam War. Soon, the family realized he wasnt well. They soon found out that he was badly ill.

31、ster” in this passage refers to .A. the concertB. the celebrationC. the victimsD. the hurricane59. This passage mainly tells about Gloria Estefans . A. life storyB. happy marriage C. music style D. Cuban backgroundBI live in Hollywood. You may think people in such an attractive, fun-filled place are

32、 happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still equate（使相等）happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an

33、 act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion. Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I ha

34、ve often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir（回忆录） after memoir, ce

35、lebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.The way people stick to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining r

36、eal happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness.

37、 They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, civic or charitable work, and self-improvement.60According to the passage, “fun activities” mentioned in the 2nd paragraph . Aare the things we do before we find happi

38、nessBmay help us relax and forget our problems sometimesCwill lead us to the true happinessDcould provide long-lasting positive effects61In the authors opinion, those Hollywood stars .Apossess happiness because they are rich and famousBexperience almost all kinds of happy thingsCtell us happiness is

39、nt equal to fun using their own storiesDhave to suffer a lot before they become successful62It is difficult for people to find real happiness because .Athey believe happiness is the fun life without painBthey find pain equals unhappinessCthey fear to lose what they already have in lifeDthey are afra

40、id all their efforts were in vain63The main purpose of the text is to .Adescribe the difference between happiness and funBshow the true meaning of happinessCencourage people to pursue fun activitiesDadvise people to find their real lifeCEd Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest th

41、ing on the horizon was the water tower.

At 26,545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that in

42、spired him to start climbing. It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous, said Viesturs. Theres no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches（雪崩) and ice falls that protect the mountain.In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzogs tale of climbing the icy Annapuma

43、. Herzogs story was of frostbite (冻伤) and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.Viesturs got his start on Washingtons Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the worlds highest peaks. Finally, hes done. The pione

44、ering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it, said Viesturs. If we have the patience and the respect, and if were here at the right time

45、, under the right circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down.Whats next for a man who can t stop climbing? Im going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer, says Viesturs. But for a man who s climbed the worlds 14 tallest mountains, he will probably s
