21、Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on be happier.

The first secret（秘密）of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future — for example, getting into college or getting a good job — that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to live a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

【1】The second paragraph tells us that ________.

A. we shouldn’t think about our future

B. some people fail to live a happy life

C. happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life

D. the more friends you have, the happier you will be

【2】 The passage gives us ________ pieces of advice on happiness.

A. one  B. two  C. three D. four

A. Reading a good book.

22、People have always been dreaming of going to the moon. As long as the year 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book vividly describing a trip to the moon. On landing there, the explorers discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. Words failed to express their surprise when they spotted so many “moon people”. The “moon people” felt even more surprised. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”

H. G. Wells could only imagine a travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really left their footsteps on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.

Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Channel”, a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.

But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.

Supporters of underground development argue that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The space, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H. G. Wells’ “moon people” would second it. Would you?

【1】The explorers in H. G. Well’s story were surprised to find that the “moon people”   .

A．knew so much about the earth

B．understood their language

C．lived in underground cities

D．were advanced in technology

【2】What does the underlined word “it” (paragraph 2) refer to?

A．Discovering the moon’s inner space

B．Using the earth’s inner space

C．Meeting the “moon people” again

D．Traveling to outer space

【3】What sort of underground systems are already in place?

A．Offices, shopping areas, power stations.

B．Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.

C．Gardens, car parks, power stations.

D．Tunnels, gardens, offices.

【4】 We can learn from the text that   .

A．H. G. Wells once went to moon himself. 

B．Underground cities are more comfortable. 

C．The solar dome is a necessary part of underground cities.

D．More underground systems will be in place in 2013.

【5】What would be the best title of the text?

A．Alice Cities — cities of the future

B．Space travel with H. G. Wells

C．Enjoy living underground

D．Building down, not up

23、

Have you ever wondered why different kinds of fruit have so many colors? According to Lu Wei from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, fruit colors actually come from their different pigments. These pigments appear in different amounts （数量）, depending on the fruit’s environment. This causes the fruit to turn a certain color.

To find out how environment influences fruit colors, Chinese scientists studied more than 280 different fruit colors. They found that red fruits are likely to grow in cooler places. You can find them growing in many places around the world instead of just in one place. Blue and purple fruits mostly grow in warmer places. They grow a lot in just one specific （特定的） area. The closer the fruit is to the equator（赤道）, the darker its color will be.

Animals also have an influence on the development of fruit colors. Animals eat fruit and drop the seeds（种子）in other places later. This helps the fruit spread and grow in different places. Therefore, in order to attract（吸引） animals, some fruits develop colors that are easy to see. However, animals see colors in a different way. Fruit needs to develop colors that are suited to animals’ visual（视觉的）abilities. For example, birds can see red more easily than humans can. So there tends to be more red fruit in areas where birds live.

【1】The underlined word “pigments” in the first paragraph means ________.

A．数量

B．味道

C．品种

D．色素

【2】Where can you most probably find dark blue fruit according to the passage?

A．In the cool places.

B．Around the world.

C．Near the equator.

D．In dry places.

【3】According to the writer, ________ can influence the development of fruit colors.

A．seeds

B．environment and animals

C．visual abilities

D．human activities.

【4】The writer mainly tells us ________.

A．why blue fruits mostly grow in cooler places

B．why red fruits are likely to grow in warmer places

C．why different kinds of fruit have different colors

D．why animals drop the seeds of fruit in other places

【5】Where can you most probably find the article?

A．In a storybook.

B．In a sports magazine.

C．In a movie poster.

D．In a science magazine.
