Are you happy every day? Do you know how to keep happy? You don’t need to
care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have cars probably like going to the countryside and walking on the country roads in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are
in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It’s a feeling of your heart. When you are
poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, “Life is like a revolving(旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens.” If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
( ) 31. Rich people always feel happy while the poor are always unhappy.
( ) 32. It is hard for you to find happiness in your life at anytime.
( ) 33. You may feel happy when you find that you have something else that can’t be bought with money.
( ) 34. According to the passage, if you have more chances to challenge yourself, you may be happy.
( ) 35. The author thinks that everyone should have a revolving door if he wants to
be happy.

Two friends were walking through the desert. During the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped（打耳光）the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote in the sand: “Today my best friend slapped me in the face.” They kept on walking until
they found an oasis（绿洲）. And they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped couldn’t swim and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: “Today my best friend saved my life.” The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why?”
The other friend answered: When someone hurts us, we should write it down in
the sand, and the winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must express our gratitude（感恩）to them and engrave（镌刻）it in the stone, so that no wind can ever erase it.”

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences ( 影响 ) health, intelligence and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August ).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
Low air pressure（气压）may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today ? It may be the weather’s problem.

When you cut your skin, you bleed. If a person loses a lot
of blood, he will become ill and may die. Blood is very important. People have always known that. At one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong!
When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the
body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it. They take blood from the healthy people and give it to people who need it. This is called “blood transfusion”（输血）. The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the sick person.
But there are two problems. First, it does not always work. Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion. Later, doctors find that we do not have the same kind of blood. There are four groups – O, A, B and AB. We all have blood of one of these groups. They also find that they can give any kind of blood to people of group AB. But they find that they must give A-group blood to A-group people and B-group blood to B-group people. I have O-group blood and the doctor told me that I could give blood to anyone else safely.
There is another problem. To give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a
person of the right blood group. Often they cannot find a person in time. If they have a way to keep the blood until someone needs it, they can always have the right kind of blood. At first they find they can keep it in bottles for fifteen to twenty days. They do this by making it very cold. Then they find how to keep it longer. In the end they find a way of keeping blood for a very long time.
We call a place where we keep money a “bank”. We call a place where we keep
blood a “blood bank”. One day, when you grow up, you may decide to give blood to a “blood bank”. In this way you may stop someone from dying, or perhaps one day you may become ill. You may need blood. The “blood bank” will give it to you.
( ) 56. From the passage, we learn that sometimes people die when they have blood
transfusions because ________.
A. they’re unhealthy people B they have lots of blood
C. they’re not given the right kind of blood D. they are AB-group people
( ) 57. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Doctors can give any kind of blood to the writer.
B. The writer can give blood to B-group people.
C. The writer has never had a blood transfusion.
D The writer has the same kind of blood as his father.
( ) 58. People set up the “blood bank” so that they can ___________.
A. give the right kind of blood to the people who need it in time.
B. keep different groups of blood as much as possible
C. make it easier to sell or buy food
D. keep blood for more than twenty hundred years
( ) 59. From the last paragraph of the passage, we learn that ___________.
A. the writer thinks it’s good to give blood to a “blood bank”
B. we may become ill if we give blood to a “blood bank”
C. many people died because they lost a lot of blood

( ) 60. The writer doesn’t talk about ___________ in the passage.
