The first step to finding happiness is to become more aware of it. There are certain steps that you can take to increase your awareness and it is best to know what they are.Being aware of what you wantBecoming happy has much to do with what you want. Everyone wants something different in life and getting what you want can bring you happiness. Thinking about what you want can easily lead you to happiness.What does happiness really mean?Happiness is around all of us and we simply need to be aware of it. Happiness is not really about how much stuff you have or how successful you are. Happiness is more about accepting yourself and being satisfied with what you have in life. This is what matters most in finding true happiness.So how can you increase your awareness of happiness？There are some specific steps that you can take.Make sure you are healthy. If you are not healthy then it is unlikely that you will feel happy. It is important to consider your diet and see if you are eating correctly. So pay more attention to your health.How active are you？The more active you are，the healthier you will be. Of course this does not mean that happiness only comes to people who often go to the gym. You simply need to go for a walk every now and then to make sure that you are as healthy as you want to be.Regular meditation（冥想）is a great way to calm yourself and increase your awareness of happiness. There are many types of meditation that you can employ from traditional meditation to more complex ones such as yoga（瑜伽）meditation. Once you know these methods，it is easy to integrate（融合）meditation into your daily life.Happiness is something that everyone wants. However，most people think that happiness is hard to get. This is not true as happiness is in all of us and we simply need to find it.21In order to find happiness，you can increase your awareness of it by _.Aknowing what you want in your lifeBdoing something different in your lifeCfollowing in successful peoples footstepsDgoing to hospital frequently to have a physical examination22In the opinion of the author，true happiness has the most to do with _.AmoneyBsuccessCself acceptance and satisfactionDself ability23How does the author develop this passage?ABy giving examples.BBy following the order of time.CBy giving advice to readers.DBy making comparisons.24The passage is likely to appear in a books _.Ascience section Bsociety sectionCculture section Dlifestyle sectionBI studied computers in college，but I have learned more in the years after graduation. No place can compare with the real world when it comes to gaining experience.In high school I spent much time deciding what career to choose. I knew I wanted to work with computers but I wasnt quite sure. I had an experience of teaching adults when I was in high school and that experience let me make up my mind to study computers. Even though I really liked teaching I didnt want to be a teacher. Giving knowledge to those who wanted to study was interesting，but at the end of the day I felt tired rather than excited. I wanted to pursue（追求）my own interest in computers.Though I decided to study computers，what major to choose was a difficult problem. There are so many choices，such as network security，software development，programming and so on. I spent a lot of time thinking about my major choice because I didnt want to end up in a job I didnt like at all. A key figure in helping me decide what my major should be was one of my teachers. I started taking his classes and we stayed close throughout my school years. He helped me a lot.Web development was what I finally settled on. One of the reasons I chose it was that it was a wide open major through which I could realize my desires. I went straight to work after graduating from college. Working for customers wholeheartedly rather than grades was a big transition（转变）！I have greatly enjoyed constantly updating my knowledge and skills.After thirty years of working with computers，I have my favorite job，and I can provide support for the company I work in. I was proud of myself for choosing the right major.25What can be learned from the passage?AThe authors family could afford his schooling.BThe author liked playing computer games in college.CThe author learned more in his work than in college.DThe teacher thought the author had talent for studying computers.26Why didnt the author want to be a teacher?AThe work made him exhausted.BHe found the job boring.CHe wanted an exciting job.DA teacher got very low pay.27The author found it was difficult to _.Apass on knowledge to those adultsBprovide support for his companyCpass college examinationsDdecide what major he would choose28What major did the author finally choose?AProgramming.BWeb development.CNetwork security.DSoftware development.CThe ukulele（四弦琴）is a member of the guitar family. If you have interest in the ukulele，it might be helpful to know that you can find a ukulele store online. But because a number of stores are available，you might have some difficulty in selecting one. So here are some tips on finding a ukulele store online.The first thing you need to find is a ukulele store that specializes mainly in ukuleles. While there are a lot of stores that sell other instruments，specialized stores have more knowledge and usually more choices when it comes to ukuleles. These stores may also sell some accessories（附件）that you might need for ukuleles. These include strings，ukulele cases，tuners and books and CDs related to ukuleles.If you are looking for a ukulele store online，find one which has articles about the different brands and types of ukuleles that they sell. This will give you an idea of the quality of the ukuleles that they have for sale. Also，make sure that the website you are looking at is organized and easy to surf. This means that you will not have difficulty in finding the ukulele that you are looking for. Also check for actual pictures of their products. Unlike firsthand going to a ukulele store you will not be able to hold or test the ukulele. It is best to at least take a good look at the features and aesthetics（美感）of the ukulele that you are going to buy.Finally，check if the ukulele store you are buying from is reliable. Some online stores also have a place where you can look at the guitar. Ask other people if they have heard of the store and what kinds of opinions they have. Do not be afraid to compare the prices of the ukuleles. Different stores usually have different prices. However，the range（变化幅度）should be close. So if a ukulele is too cheap，ask first if there are any defects（缺陷）or damage to it. Also，check if the payment terms that they use are suitable.29Why do people need to find a specialized ukulele store to buy a ukulele?AIt will save them a lot of time.BThey can buy accessories of ukuleles there.CThey can have a number of ukuleles to choose from.DThey can compare ukuleles with other instruments.30According to the author，to know the quality of the ukulele online you should _.Atry to hold or test the ukuleleBlook for the organized websiteCread more advertisements for the ukuleleDknow of the brands and types of the ukulele31The underlined word “firsthand” in the third paragraph can be replaced by _.Aprivately BpersonallyCfrequently DhurriedlyDWhy dont our kids want to tell us about their day at school？And how can we become more effective listeners？To find out，take a look at the situation from your childs views and compare it to your own.“How was school？”and “how are you？”are not real questionstheyre greetings. A problem appears because we expect an answer. But the questions are so general that its difficult for kids to answer，particularly when they are on overload from a challenging day at school. “What parents are trying to do when they ask how was school？is to make contact（接触）with their child，”explains Michael Thomson，Ph.D.Kids often think adults ask too many questions. “And they are right，”adds Thompson，“We do. Adults are often just trying to start a conversation and dont understand that their questions make a child feel put_on_the_spot，which isnt what they expect. Be aware that a question from a big person like you can place too much demands on a small child，even though you dont mean it that way.”You should understand your child. School can be hard for kids and thats why its hard for them to talk about it. Every day at school，kids get things wrong and make mistakes. Thats how they learn. But generally，kids dont want to come home and say，“I was frustrated by my mistakes but I learned from them.” They would rather come home and say，“I got everything right.” “Their feelings about meeting the expectations of their teachers，their parents，and themselves can make school a challenging topic to discuss，”said Michael Thompson.So，should we stop asking questions？No. But you might ask fewer ones and try not to get crazy when your kids dont respond. Remember that if your kids dont want to talk，its not a rejection of you. When you do speak，try to find ways to discuss whats meaningful to both your child and you，because this shows your care.32Why does a child find its difficult to answer the question “How was school”？AHe seldom comes across a question like that.BHe is very tired after the whole days studying.CThe question is not detailed or limited to one thing.DHe doesnt understand what the question means.33According to Thompson，parents ask their child questions in order to _.Alearn how their child is getting on with his studiesBlearn how much their child has learned that dayCshow how they love their child and care about himDget in touch with him or communicate with him34What does the underlined phrase “put on the spot” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?ACause sb to be happy or pleased.BMake sb feel difficult or embarrassed.CRemind sb of what impresses him.DForce sb to finish what he must do.35How do children learn at school in the authors opinion?ABy making mistakes every day.BBy being frustrated occasionally.CBy getting everything right.DBy learning what they study by heart.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The effects of stressThere is a famous expression in English：“Stop the world；I want to get off！”This expression refers to a feeling of panic or stress，which makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing，try to relax and become calm again. “Stress” means pressure._36_ Too much stress results in physical，emotional，and mental health problems.来源:Zxxk_37_ Stress can affect the heart.
