24、   Being happy is an ability, which means we need to learn how to do it. This, perhaps, explains why around one in four undergraduate students at Yale University in the US have signed up (报名) for its Psychology and the Good Life course this semester. The course actually set a record of being the most popular in Yale’s 316-year history.

Laurie Santos, the psychology professor who will be running the course, believes that the high school lives which her students must have had are the reason that the course is so popular. It’s likely that students who get into top universities like Yale had a difficult time in high school. In order to stand out, they had to surround themselves with endless tests, competitions, and so-called “hobbies”, which made them very unhappy. "A lot of us are anxious (焦虑的), stressed, numb (麻木的)," Alannah Maynez, a 19-year-old undergraduate student at Yale, told The New York Times,“and I won’t miss such a chance.”

Yale isn’t the first university to offer such courses. Back in 2006, Harvard introduced its Positive Psychology class, and about 900 students signed up for it. There are now many universities in the US that have started courses on positive psychology, including the University of Pennsylvania and Claremont Graduate University.

It may sound sad when Harvard student Nancy Cheng called Positive Psychology a “self-help class”. But it’s a good thing that students accept that they have a problem, instead of having to pretend that everything is fine in front of everyone.

It’s true that being happy is an ability, and it’s OK that you may not have it yet. However, it’s never too early—or too late—to start learning.

【1】Many students at Yale University have signed for the Psychology and the Good Life course because ______ __.

A.students who get into top universities had a difficult time in high school

B.it is the most popular course in Yale’s 316-year history

C.Laurie Santos, the psychology professor will be running the course

【2】What does Alannah Maynez think of the psychology course?

A.Popular. B.Meaningless. C.Useful.

【3】How many universities that have positive psychology courses are mentioned in the passage?

A.Four B.One. C.Two.

【4】What does the underlined word “pretend” mean?

A.掩盖 B.假装 C.承认

【5】From the passage, we can know that________.

A.it’s never too early or too late to start learning how to be happy

B.Yale is the first university to offer psychology courses

C.Nancy Cheng thought the course helped her a lot to be happy

25、We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world， and there are more than 2，500 kinds of them.

No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She？ Yes，she. It‘s true that male mosquito doesn’t bite（咬） and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds， she bites. But if she doesn‘t like your blood，she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you，just remember you are chosen. You’re different from the others！

If the mosquito likes you，she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites，you will have an itch（痒） on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itching begins，and she has flown away.

And then what happens？ Well，after her delicious dinner，the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest. There，on a leaf or a wall， she begins to lay eggs，hundreds of eggs.

26、I shook hands with my father in the truck, and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn’t say a word. But I knew he was going to say a little to me. “I can’t tell anything,” he finally said. “I never went to college, and none of your brothers went to college. I can’t say, ‘I don’t do this and do that’, because everything is different and I don’t know what is going to come up. I can’t help much with money either, but I think things will work out. ”

He gave me a new check-book (支票簿). “If things get pushing, write a small check. But when you write one, send me a letter and let me know how much. There are some things we can always sell.” In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars. My part-time jobs such as reading to the blind student and sitting with the teachers’ kids filled in the financial gaps (经济缺口).

“You know what you want to be, and they’ll tell you what to take,” my father went on. “When you get a job, be sure it’s honest, and work hard.” I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town, and I would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you.

Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old, broken Bible (圣经) that he had read so often, the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbors. I knew he would miss it. I knew, though, that I must take it.

He didn’t say, “Read this every morning.” He just said, “This can help you if you will let it.”

Did it help? I got through college without being a burden (负担) on the family. I have been able to make money since.

【1】Why did the father not ask his son not to do this and do that?

A. Because he didn’t feel very confident of himself.

B. Because he was born from a poor family.

C. Because he was a man of few words.

D. Because he didn’t want to be much too strict with him.

【2】What’s the proper Chinese meaning for the underlined part “get pushing” in the passage?

A. 闲暇时光 B. 学费   C. 经济不足 D. 精神空虚

【3】What kind of book did the Bible seem to be to the writer’s father?

A. It was a book which told you how to quarrel with others.

B. It was a book that could bring you money.

C. It was a book that told you how to get a good job and a good future.

27、   An old man went to live with his son, his daughter-in-law, and a four-year-old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled (颤抖), his eyesight was very poor, and he couldn’t walk steadily(平稳地). The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Rice often dropped on the floor.   

The son and the daughter-in-law became angry with the old man, so they put a small table in the corner. There, the grandfather ate alone, while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the table. Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was put in a wooden bowl.

The four-year-old son watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” The boy answered, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old son smiled and went back to work. The words struck the parents so that they were in silence. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening, the man took his father's hand and gently led him back to the family table.

【1】Why was the old man’s food put in a wooden bowl?

A．Because the wooden bowl was light enough.

B．Because the old man had broken a few bowls.

B．使……担心

C．使……害怕

D．使……震惊

【3】Why did the man lead the old man back to the family table?

B．Because the old man didn’t drop rice on the floor any more.

C．Because the old man’s food was put in a wooden bowl.

_______【5】Jack didn’t get a transit card when he changed planes an airport, which made him very worried. So he was not allowed to get on board.

A. My mother was worried about me. She cooked me all my favorite dishes and put them into a box to take with me on my journey. But the customs officer checked all the plant and animal products at the airport. Unfortunately it was illegal（违法）for me to bring into the country the kind of food my mother had given me and so it all had to be thrown away.

B. It was very hot so I put on some shorts and a T-shirt to go sightseeing. I hadn’t gone very far when I found everyone was looking at me, and they didn’t seem friendly to me. One woman even spat on me as I walked past. I decided to get off the crowded streets and so I turned down a small, quiet street.

C. During the four-day walking tour, I was amazed by mountain scenery and the ancient ruins we passed on our hike. On the last day, we arrived at the ruins of Machu Picchu in time to see the sunrise over the Andes. I spent the day visiting the ruins of that ancient Inca city before catching the train back to the capital city of the country.

D. When I got off the plane at the first airport. I saw someone handing out cards to some of the passengers, but I didn’t know what they were for, so I didn’t take one. When I tried to board the second plane they asked for my transit card, which I didn’t’ have. I was worried they were going to send me back to London.

E. I had been walking for about an hour when suddenly I slipped and fell down a riverbank. I hurt my ankle and couldn’t stand up. I didn’t know how I could get back to the village. I hadn’t told anyone what I was going, so no one would know where to look for me when they realized I was missing.

F. When I arrived, a customs officer at the airport looked in my bag and found the pills in a small box. He wanted to know what the pills were for and why they weren’t in their proper bottle with my name and the doctor’s name on it. I explained that the bottle had been too big and heavy. Then he wanted to know if I had a letter from my doctor explaining about the pills.
