1. Joe was driving home one evening.Ever since the Levis factory closed,he’d been
unemployed,and with winter raging on,the chill had finally hit home.Most of his friends had
already left the Midwestern town,but he stayed on.After all,he was born here.
It was getting dark and light snow was coming down.He almost didn’t see the old lady,but in the
dim light of day,he could see she needed help.He pulled up in front of her car and got out.
Even with a smile on his face,she was worried.Was he going to hurt her?He didn’t look safe;he
looked poor and hungry.Joe knew how she felt and said to her,“I’m here to help you,ma’am.Why
don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm.”She had a flat tire and Joe set about replacing it
immediately.All this put the woman at ease.She then rolled down her window and began to talk to
him,telling him that she was from St.Louis and was only passing through.Then the thankful
woman asked Joe how much she owed him.But Joe told her that he had been given a hand in the
past and if she wished to pay him back,she could give the money to someone who needed her help
next time.
A few miles down the road the lady went into a small café.A waitress brought a clean towel to
wipe her wet hair.The waitress was nearly eight months pregnant,but she never let the strain and
aches change her attitude.The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so
giving to a stranger.When the waitress came back to give the lady her change from a hundred
dollar bill,she found a message on a napkin:“Take this.Someone once helped me out the way I’
m helping you now.If you really want to pay me back,here’s what you can do. Don’t let the chain
of love end with you.”
That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed,the waitress was thinking about
what the lady had written.How could the lady have known that she and her husband needed the

money?With the baby due next month,it was going to be hard.Knowing how worried her

Joe.”

2. I will never forget what my old headmaster had taught me.Normally when you are only 15
years of age you do not remember most of the things that are preached by your teachers.But,this
particular story is one such lesson that I will never forget.Every time I drift off course,I get
reminded of this story. It was a normal Monday morning at an assembly,and he was addressing the
students on important things in life and about committing ourselves to what was important to
us.This is how the story went: An old man lived in a certain part of London,and he would wake up
every morning and go to the subway.He would take the train right to Central London,and then sit
at the street corner and beg.He did this every single day for almost 20 years. His house was
filthy,and a horrible smell came out of it.The neighbors could not stand the smell any longer,so
they summoned the police officers to clear the place.The officers knocked down the door,cleaned
the house and found small bags of money all over the house.When they counted the money,they

realized that the old man was a millionaire.
They waited outside his house in anticipation to share the good news with him.When he arrived
home that evening,the old man was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no need
for him to beg any more as he was now a millionaire.
The old man said nothing at all.He went into his house and locked the door.The next morning he
woke up as usual,went to the subway,got into the train,and sat at the street corner and continued to
beg.Obviously,this old man had no great plans,dreams or anything significant for his life.We learn
nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.
We should remain true to our course,which may mean committing ourselves to things that
people around us would normally disapprove.Let nothing distract us from being happy;let nothing
else determine our fate,but ourselves.What makes us happy is what matters in the end,not what we
acquire.
(1). The sentence“I drift off course”might be replaced by.
(A). I do not pass a course at school
(B). I am determined to do something new
(C). I fail to stick to what I have been doing
(D). I come across difficulties in my studies

3. I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and tend to forget how
they themselves felt when young.And it is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at
times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between their parents and
本真题及答案由考试真题软件网 down.examebook.com 提供
本真题及答案由考试真题软件网 down.examebook.com 提供
themselves.They are always complaining,more or less justly,that their parents are out of touch
with modern ways of life;that they are possessive and dominant;that they do not trust their
children to deal with crises;that they talk too much about certain problems;and that they have no
sense of humour,at least in parentchild relationships. Young people often irritate their parents with
their choices in clothes and hairstyles and music,yet this is not their motive.They feel cut off from
the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted.So they create a culture and society of
their own.Then,if it turns out that their music or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their
parents,they will only get additional enjoyment.They feel that they are superior,at least in a small
way,and that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes they are rebellious (叛逆的)and proud because they do not want their parents to
approve of what they do.If their parents do approve,they feel they are betraying their own age
group.But in that case,they are assuming that they are the loser:they can’t win but at least they
can keep their honour.This is a passive way of looking at things.It is natural enough after long
years of childhood when they are completely under their parents’control.But they ignore the fact
that they are now beginning to be responsible for themselves.
If they plan to control their life,cooperation can be part of their plan.They can charm others,
especially their parents,into doing things the way they want.They can impress others with their
sense of responsibility and initiative,so that their parents will give them the authority to do what
they want to do.
(1). The first paragraph mainly deals with.
(A). young people’s psychological problems
(B). young people’s negative views of their parents
(C). parents’mistrust of their teenage children
(D). parents’misunderstanding of their teenage children
(2). The
“possessive”(Para.1)can be replaced by.
(A). careful
(B). greedy
(C). diligent
(D). selfish
(3). Young people create a culture and society of their own by.
(A). choosing their own lifestyle and taste
(B). isolating themselves from the adult world
(C). assuming a superior attitude towards others
(D). making their own choices to irritate their parents
(4). When approved by their parents,rebellious young people would feel.
(A). proud
(B). satisfied
(C). betrayed
(D). unhappy
(5). To some extent,young people can have a better control of their life by being.

1. Although there is a strong positive relationship between wealth and happiness,it is only true
for those who live below the poverty line or who are unemployed.Research suggests that there are
things that contribute more to happiness than external factors.That doesn’t mean that if you have a
lot of money you won’t be happy,or that having a lot of money is bad;it just means that other
factors are more important in determining happiness.More important,it is the way we choose to
think about ourselves,our place in the world,and the world around us,and how we act in that
world that sets the happy people apart from the less happy people.
虽然财富和幸福之间的关系紧密,但这仅仅适用于失业或生活在贫困线以下的人。研究表明,
有些东西比外在的因素带给人们的幸福还要多。这并不是说人们钱多了就不幸福了,也不是
说钱多是件坏事。这只是说明人们是否幸福还取决于其他更加重要的因素。重要的是,有些
人生活幸福,有些人不如他们幸福,把两者区分开来的是他们在这个世界上的所作所为以及
他们看待自我、看待自己的社会地位和看待周围世界的方式。
