There once lived in Greece a learned man. He was so well-known for his wide knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn things from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience(耐心).
One day a student asked him, " My' dear teacher, didn't you say you yourself have many. many more questions about things than we do? On the contrary(恰恰相反), we students have far more than you. "
With a smile, the teacher drew two circles one as large as a big wheel(轮子), the other maller.
"Of course, I've learned much more. But a teacher does not necessarily have fewer questions than his students. look at these two circles. Within the big one is my knowledge of things, and within the smaller one yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, the line that marks out (划出……的界线) the circle is longer. That means I have more chances to face what is still unknown. And that's why I myself have more questions than you do.

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing
car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy " would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
One of the processes growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.
( ) 9. The author had _________kind(s) of fears when she was a child.
A. one B. two C. three D. none
( ) 10. _________ would scare the author at night.
A. Streetlight and car lights B. Wild animals and enemies
C. Moving curtains and wind D. Strange sights and sounds
( ) 11. When she went to some other places, she would _________.
A. walk away without others B. take a bus by herself
C. follow others closely D. make sure not to take a wrong bus
( ) 12. Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?
A. She was usually popular among people. B. She was always the leader of the others.
C. She always' got poor grades. D. She was not at all liked by others.
D
Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don’t bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.
Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can’t be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value(重视) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.
Here are a few ways to help you be happier.
The first secret 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 don’t 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 close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.
The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.
Now maybe you know how to find happiness!
( ) 13. The underlined word “wealthy” means “__________” in the article.
A. pleased B. healthy C. excited D. rich
( ) 14. Some people who hold a high position in the government think they can _________.
A. get money and something they can’t buy with money
B. do what they want to do at any time
C. enjoy health which makes them work hard
