     It is a hot summer day, and you feel thirsty. A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade. How do
you feel when you see the glass? Will you describe your feeling as happiness or as pleasure? I believe
you will say it is a feeling of pleasure. There is a connection between these two kinds of feelings, and
sometimes one causes the other, but they are not the same. Pleasure is more dependent on the five
senses while happiness is independent of them.
     When you are happy, little unpleasant events usually do not disturb you. When you are unhappy, you
feel as if everything is against you. You may compensate_for it by eating chocolate and sweets because
this gives you pleasure, yet you stay unhappy. A person may smoke cigarettes because it gives him
pleasure, yet this does not make him happier, especially if he knows the fact that it is not good for his
health.
     The physical world is always in a changing state. At each moment a new thing is being created,
changed, transformed and then destroyed. This is the normal state of things and no one can change it.
If we stay still in a certain state, we are sure to experience unhappiness sooner or later. On the other
hand, if we adjust to the environment, nothing can influence our moods. Then outer events have nothing
to do with our inner joy of mind.
     The room of the mind is filled with worry or fear. If you are free of thinking about them, the room has been emptied, and then you will see what is happening and experience it. When your mind stays quiet, you will see that happiness comes from the inside.1. What does the underlined phrase "compensate for" in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. to make a suitable payment for
B. to let out your anger for
C. to provide with a balancing effect for
D. to solve the problems for2. According to the passage,in which of the following situations can you feel happy?A. A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade when you feel thirsty.
B. You eat chocolate and sweets when you feel as if everything is against you.
C. Smoke cigarettes even though you know the fact that it is not good for your health.
D. You are free from worry or fear when your mind stays quiet.3 We can learn from the passage ________.A. happiness is more dependent on the five senses
B. pleasure sometimes arouses happiness
C. you feel happy when nothing around you changes in a certain state
D. you feel unhappy because you have to adjust to the environment4. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. Pleasure Leads to Happiness

     A maths talent who won fame this week for giving up a milliondollar prize is living with his mother in
a simple flat in St Petersburg, coexisting on her ￡ 30amonth pension, because he has been
unemployed for many years.
     The Sunday Telegraph tracked down the strange recluse(隐士) who shocked the maths world
when he solved a centuryold puzzle known as the Poincar? Conjecture.
     Grigory Perelman"s trouble comes from a split with a leading Russian mathematical institute, the
Steklov, in 2003. When the Institute in St Petersburg failed to reelect him as a member, Dr Perelman
was left feeling an "absolutely ungifted and untalented person", said a friend. He became unconfident
and cut himself off.
     Other friends say he cannot afford to travel to the International Mathematical Union"s congress in
Madrid, where many people want him to receive the maths equivalent(等价物) of the Nobel Prize, and
that he is too modest to ask anyone to pay for his trip.
     Interviewed in St Petersburg, Dr Perelman insisted that he was unworthy of all the attention, and
was uninterested in the prize. "I do not think anything that I say can be of the slightest public interest,"
he said. "I am not saying that because I value my privacy, or that I am doing anything I want to hide.
There are no topsecret projects going on here. I just believe the public has no interest in me."
     He continued: "I know that selfpromotion happens a lot and if people want to do that, good luck to
them, but I do not regard it as a positive thing. I realized this a long time ago and nobody is going to
change my mind. Newspapers should be more discerning(有洞察力的) over who they write about.
They should have more taste. As far as I am concerned, I can"t offer anything for their readers."
     Dr Perelman has some small savings from his time as a lecturer, but is apparently unwilling to increase
them with the D＄1 million offered by the Clay Mathematics Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
for solving one of the world"s seven "Millennium Problems".  1. Grigory Perelman lives with his mother because ________. A. he has to look after her
B. his mother has a million dollars
C. he has been out of work for a long time
D. he is badly paid at the mathematical institute2. The phrase"absolutely ungifted and untalented person"shows that Dr Perelman felt ________. A. angry
B. discouraged
C. proud
D. confident3. Grigory Perelman refused to accept the prize because ________. A. he thought the prize was worthless
B. he didn"t believe the news
C. he couldn"t afford to travel to Madrid
D. he showed no interest in it4. From the passage, we can infer that Grigory Perelman ________. A. solved the most difficult maths problem
B. has a strong personality
C. wanted to make himself known to all
D. didn"t get on well with the press5. What"s the best title for the passage?A. Great Mathematician Leads Simple Life
B. Maths Genius Abandons a Milliondollar Prize
C. Mathematics Institute Offers Grigory D＄1 Million
D. One of the World"s Seven "Millennium Problems" Solved

阅读理解. Besides calling 911,here is what to do in some lifethreatening emergencies when no one is
around to help.
Lost in the wilderness

     First,you"ve got to acknowledge you"re in trouble.Stay where you can be seen clearly and
remember to rest. Keeping a sense of humor helps too-it reduces stress and helps creative
thinking.In a wide open area,make a colorful cross out of rocks to show your present position.
     Choking

     Aim to hit the top of the chair against your stomach,in the soft part below the bony upsidedown
V of the ribs (肋骨)．Make a sudden push against the chair.If you still can"t breathe after six
tries,call 911,even if you can"t talk.Write the word choking somewhere nearby,and leave the line
open until help arrives.
     Severe bleeding

     Use your hand or clean cotton,or paper towels,or a scarf,or any cloth you can find,and push
down on the wound until the bleeding stops.But if you put a band around your leg tightly,you"re
going to close the vessels(血管) to the entire leg.In this way,you could lose your foot.
     Bear attack

     If you surprise a bear,don"t run away.That invites an attack.Instead,stand up and back
away slowly,without looking the bear in the eyes.If it does charge (猛冲) at you,stick out
your chest,raise your arms,and spread your legs.Shout at the bear,to frighten it.If it"s going

     There are many times I feel close to going crazy in Beijing. The overhooting horns and the dangerous
driving of local drivers are slowly driving us cyclists to extinction, here in the bicycle capital of the world.
     What keeps me conscious is my weekly session with some of Beijing"s warmest souls. We meet at
the English corner in the Chaoyang Library. There, all topics are open for discussion. We usually talk
about family and business, two Chinese priorities across all age groups, I"ve discovered. There are
always plenty of requests to explain European religion and culture. Some, however, like one of my older
students,80yearold Mr Gou, prefer to sing in English.
     Lately we"ve talked about the 60th anniversary celebrations and I"m lucky in the diversity of ages that
I get a good sample of what China"s thinking. Most look forward to the time off, some have been
inconvenienced (by their offices being shut to make way for rehearsals) and some worry about the cost
of it.
     I sometimes feel that even a 60yearold China is still not very well known or understood. Foreign
friends with little time to spare on business and tourist visits to Beijing complain about the similar things:
aggressive driving, bad air and a lot of ostentatious displays of wealth such as big cars, paunches and
loud shirts.
     It"s a shame, because those are the conspicuous minority. To know Beijing you have to make an
effort to meet and talk to the majority-the likes of retired Doctor Rose, who runs the English corner, or
Mr Tang, the retired railway station inspector. These are friendly, knowable folks with all the patience
possible to explain and share China with a curious foreigner. I feel very lucky to have them to talk and
listen to.
     They"ll likely never-or rarely-step into a Starbucks. Their means are modest and they don"t have any
flashy cars to park on the footpath. No, but they"ll teach you priceless, disappearing Beijing knowledge
and crafts. They"ll invite you to  eat jiaozi and play shuttlecock. And on October 1, I marked the big
60th birthday with them, the ordinary, kind people of Beijing. 1. Who runs the English corner according to the passage?A. Tang.
B. Rose.
C. Mr Gou.
D. The writer. 2. Which of the following is TRUE of Beijing?A. The drivers in Beijing drive terribly.
B. People at the English corner talk about European religion and culture every day.
C. Foreign friends spare no time on business in Beijing.
D. Only when you talk to people can you know Beijing better. 3. What can we learn about the 60th anniversary celebrations?A. The writer can predict what China"s thinking.
B. Most people think the 60th anniversary celebrations worthless.
C. Some people may be concerned about sideeffects of the 60th anniversary celebrations.
D. People will teach you priceless, disappearing Beijing knowledge and crafts. 4. The underlined word "ostentatious" in Paragraph 4 means________. A. jealous
B. expensive
C. cheap
D. showy5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Hidden treasure
B. Proud people
C. Priceless love
D. Potential ability

     One day, your child will need to earn a living. Kids can get an edge on the work world by starting
early and in doing so they will gain valuable experience working with different people. Also they can
learn about managing money-have some money to spend once they get older, or save for college.
     But first ask yourself, is your child ready to work? Do they have the time, and won"t it interfere with
their school work? If they are ready, then here are some jobs for kids to make money.
     BABY SITTER
     If your child likes younger kids, then a baby sitter is a popular choice. Parents often need a good
and reliable baby sitter________. This position can be even expanded into a baby sitting service, by
joining together a group of people who can offer babysitting services to all the parents in the
neighborhood.
     PARENTS HELPER
     A parents helper is similar to a baby sitter. However, if your child is too young to babysit on their
own, a job helping parents is a good opportunity. They can help watch someone"s kids and assist with
the feeding, playing, or doing chores around the house. Later, once your child is older, they would likely
have gained some references for regular babysitting work.
     HOUSE CLEANING
     Instead of a parents helper, your child could simply do house cleaning. There are many chores that
would be suitable such as vacuuming, dusting.
     CAR WASHING
     Car washing is a needed service in many communities. Have_your_child_get together_with_a few_
friends to_offer_to_wash_local_cars. As an addition to this business, they can sell items such as coffee,
snack bags and donuts while people wait for their car to be washed. See what other professional car
washes charge in your area, and price the services competitively.
     ANIMAL CARETAKER
     If your child enjoys animals, then try an animal caretaker business. This might involve walking dogs,
dog washing, or general grooming.
     HOUSE AND PET SITTING
     If a neighbor is taking a trip or vacation, then taking care of their house and/or pets may be an
opportunity. This may include watering plants, and any other chores they may need. 1. What"s the main idea of the passage? (within 10 words)
________________________________________________________________________

阅读理解 Vans, Keds, Dollies-they sound like the names of rock bands, but if you have teenagers, you"ll know
they"re actually the latest in teenage footwear.
But experts are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the
short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future.
Here, the experts identify the problems caused by teenagers"shoe choice.
KEDS/VANS

Slipon shoes with elastic (弹性的) sides are particularly popular among teenage boys-with Keds and
Vans the most soughtafter brands.
The main problem is that they are just too flat-so flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first,
becomes damaged and painful.
BALLET PUMPS

     The worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes.The problem is partly their flatness, as with
Keds and Vans.However ballet pumps, which  have no string or heel, have other specific problems.
     "As the shoe has no fastening device, it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on, causing an awkward
gait (步法), this leads to shortand longterm problems such as calluses (茧子), heel and knee pain."
WEDGES AND STILETIOS

     These shoes can also cause problems with gait.They may look good, but the heels on these are so high they can force the wearer"s body weight forward, making them very unstable.
     Teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with
constant back pain.
SCHOOL SHOES
     So what do podiatrists (足科医生) have on their wish list, especially for everyday wear?
     Something in a natural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on, with a small heel and a deep toebox that does not press the toes, such as Clark"s, Marks & Spencer or Rhino.
     If your teen insists on wearing "bad"shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics (矫形器) in the shoes.
These support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often
transform their walk and halt the damage.
1. Of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems?A. Marks & Spencer.
B. Wedges & Stilettos.
C. Keds and Vans.
D. Ballet Pumps.2. Which pair of shoes may not be found on the podiatrists"wish list?

3. The underlined word "halt" in the last paragraph probably means________.A. increase
B. worsen
C. stop
D. cure4. From this passage we can infer________.A. trendy shoes may ruin teenagers" health
B. fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them
C. experts are strongly against wearing popular shoes
D. podiatrists are experts at producing branded shoes5. In which column of Mail Online can you find this passage?A. Sports.
B. Science.
C. Health.
D. Shopping.
