We got up in the air and 22 happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone 23 for still being alive.Although I do s
10、incerely like to have a plan 24 “see what happens”, it really isnt such a bad life strategy.

11、air, and see what happens.If you are planning to learn a new skill, “get up in the air, and see what happens!” It might not be as 28 as you thought.

(共20小题;每小题2分, 满分40分)AAs you grow older, youll be faced with some challenging decisionslike whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involv
16、ed and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, its called peer pressure.Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student
17、in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyones reading it.

18、r example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball. If you continue to face peer pressure and youre finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Dont feel gui

21、hip. B. Making decisions C. Self-confidence D. Peer pressureBHere is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone cant make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲乏). To the ama
22、zement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we could find it full of fatigue toxins(霉素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it
23、 would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of efforts as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes
24、from our mental and emotional(情感的) attitudes. One of Englands most outstanding scientists, J. A. Hadfield, says,“The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. H
25、e declares,“One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciatedthose are the emotio
26、ns that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.35What surprised the scientists a few years ago?AFatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborers blood.BAlbert Einstein didnt feel worn out after a days work.
27、CThe brain could work for many hours without fatigue.DA mental workers blood was filled with fatigue toxins.36According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?AChallenging mental work. BUnpleasant emotions. CEndless tasks. DPhysical labor.37Whats the authors attitude to
28、wards the scientists ideas?AHe agrees with them. BHe doubts them.CHe argues against them. DHe hesitates to accept them.38We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to _.Ahave some good food Benjoy their workCexercise regularly Ddiscover fatigue toxinsCChina i
29、s a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, Ive found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still
30、use their bicycles to get around. For many, its the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colorssilver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.Its fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even
31、 on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just cant provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was o
32、rderly(守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didnt want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.
33、 The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel
34、alive.39According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?ABecause they are traditional and safe.BBecause they are convenient and inexpensive.CBecause they are colorful and available.DBecause they are fast and environment friendly.40The author decided to buy a bicycle because he
35、 intended _.Ato ride it for fun Bto use it for transportCto experience local culture Dto improve his riding skills41How did the author feel about his street crossing?AIt was boring. BIt was difficult.CIt was lively. DIt was wonderful.42Which of the following best describes the authors biking experie
36、nce?AThe author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.BThe author was annoyed by the air while riding.CThe author was praised by the other bikers.DThe author took great pleasure in biking.DWhen asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to ge
37、t rarer the older we get.For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的)In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly its conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the exci
38、tement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.In adulthood the things that bring deep joylove, marriage, birthalso bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated(简洁的)My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The m
39、ore we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. Its easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunchbox and had the ho
40、use to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I dont think that my grandmother, w
41、ho raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing weve got to have. Were so selfconscious about ou
42、r “right” to it that its making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things arent necessarily happier.Happiness isnt about what happens to usits about how we see what happens to us. Its the skillful way of finding a positi
43、ve for every negative.

46、ss their right to happiness too much Care at a loss to make correct choices Dare more likely to be happyENo one likes to make mistakes.
