25、Happiness is for everyone. Maybe some people have beautiful houses with large gardens and big swimming pools. Some other people have nice cars and a lot of money. But you needn’t care about that. Why? Because those are not real happiness.

In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. When you study hard at your lessons, your parents will always take good care of your life and your health. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can find that happiness is always around you.

Money is not equal to (等于) happiness. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy，because you have something else that you can’t buy with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge (挑战) yourself. Life is like a revolving (旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

26、By the year 2050, it is estimated that the world’s population will reach nine billion. An interesting question: what happens when people in poorer countries raise their living standard and demand more meat in their diet? Imagine trying to feed nine billion people with enough meat. In short, it’s simply impossible.

Australian journalist and science writer, Julian Cribb, explains the challenges the world faces in feeding nine billion people by the year 2050. Cribb says there is a major problem in the current food system in the developed world, at least. As more and more people move towards city centers, the less and less they know about where their food comes from. Most think food simply grow on supermarket shelves, and they don’t consider the environmental effects of food production.

Food has many hidden cost: huge volumes of water, energy use and land degradation (退化) . Consumers add their own costs by simply throwing away a lot of food. The figures for food waste in West are staggering.

To solve this problem of public ignorance (无知) about food, Cribb suggests that food should be taught as a subject at primary school. This would help to create a future generation that could better deal with the world’s coming food challenges. This powerful measure can help to raise a generation of educated consumers, more productive farmers, and so on.

Cribb offers other solutions and suggestions as well. One is to increase the funding for agriculture science, which has been falling by the wayside in recent years. He suggested organic (有机的) farming should be understood on a scientific basis, changing people’s thinking to one of a new form of “environmental agriculture” to get the very best out of organic farming systems. He says we should stop wasting food and learn how to grow food more cheaply. We should use less water, as water is one of the main inputs into food production. Cribb also suggests eating more fruit and vegetables.

【1】What is the meaning of the underlined word?

A．Confusing.

B．Surprising

C．Puzzling

D．Pleasing.

【2】According to Julian Cribb, what is the aim of making food a subject at school?

A．To educate students about the food problem.

B．To help students understand how to grow food.

C．To develop agricultural science.

D．To train more productive farmers.

【3】Which of the following may the writer DISAGREE with?

A．The public should save food and save water.

B．Organic agriculture costs a lot of resources.

C．More money should be used for agricultural science.

D．People should eat less meat but more fruit and vegetables.

【4】The text properly comes from ________.

A．a science magazine

B．a story book

C．an advertisement

D．a guidebook of travelling

27、My grandfather is eighty years old now. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.

Families aren't families they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together.

And people today have TV and computers, and they don't talk to each other any more. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think.
