In a college newspaper.BTwo traveling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room.

7、 Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor，the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: “Things arent always what they seem.”The next night the pair came to rest at the ho

8、use of a very poor, but very hospitable(好客的)farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had，the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good nights rest.

10、 willing to share everything, and you did not help.”“Things arent always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement，I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall.

11、al(封口) the wall so he wouldnt find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed，the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead.

15、ce?” Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there dont have name signs; in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fr

16、uit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.” People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “its about five minutes from here.” You dont understand completely, “

17、Yes, but how many miles away is it, please?” To this question you wont get an answer, because most probably they dont know it themselves. People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.”

18、 Then hell lead you through the streets of the city to the post office. Sometimes a person doesnt know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I dont know.” People there believe that “I dont”

19、 is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan! However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. Its body language.8. Which one of the followings is probably an example of Japanese directions?A. “Go south two miles. Turn we

20、st and then go another mile.”B. “Turn right at the hospital and go past a school. The library is right in front of you.”C. “The post office is about five minutes from here”D. “The post office is at Street Kamira.”9.

Greeks give directions by _. A.leading people the way B. using landmarksC.using street names D. giving people a wrong direction11.

22、Where is Yucatan? A. In the USA. B. In Japan. C. In Greece. D. In Mexico.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

23、new bike is unreserved (毫无掩饰的).In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly its 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

24、bring deep joy-love, marriage, birth-also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated.My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. Its easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of f

25、riends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health. I experience my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came ho

26、me, 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 dont 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

27、 what satisfied her.We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing weve got to have. Were so self-conscious about our “right” to it that its making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noti

28、cing that the people who have those things arent necessarily happier. Happiness isnt about what happens to us - its about how we see what happens to us. Its the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. Its not wishing for what we dont have, but enjoying what we do possess. 12. What can

29、 we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6 ? A. She cares little about her own healthB. She enjoys the freedom of travelling C. She prefers getting pleasure from housework D. She is easily pleased by things in daily life13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 7? A. Psychologists think satisfy

30、ing work is the key to happinessB. Psychologists opinion is well proved by Grandmas caseC. Grandmas happiness came from modest expectations of life D. Grandma often found time for social gatherings 14. People who equal happiness with wealth and success _.A. consider pressure something blocking their

31、 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 15. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Happy is he who is contentB. Each man is the master of his own fateC. Success leads to happinessD. Happiness lies between the positi

33、f where and how you live? 16._We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough.
