　　One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled (铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is

　　36

　　Once I heard a bald man said, “whenever I enter a room

　　37

　　I see is hair.” Once you’ve

　　38 what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will

　　39

　　make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different

　　40

　　, or forget about it and

　　41

　　the tiles in your life that are not missing.

　　We all know people who have a relatively

　　42

　　life, yet are essentially unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but

　　43

　　remain happy.

　　The first

　　44

　　is gratitude. All happy people are

　　45

　　. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to

　　46

　　, but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.

　　The second secret is

　　47

　　that happiness is a byproduct (副产品) of something else. The most obvious

　　48

　　are those pursuit (追求) that give our lives purpose — anything

　　49

　　studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are

　　50

　　to experience.

　　Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our

　　51

　　has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We

　　52

　　a spiritual faith, or a philosophy, it should

　　53

　　this truth: if you choose to find the

　　54

　　in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is

　　55

　　your decision to make.

　　Why do people drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs? What’s to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive (自我毁灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them.

　　According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn’t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it’s having will power that really gets you into trouble.

　　Think back to the time you took your very first sip (啜饮) of beer. Disgusting, wasn’t it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette — it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (诱惑) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.

　　Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.

　　These bad habits aren’t self-control failures — far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.

　　60. What would be the best title for the passage?

　　A. My First Sip of Beer

　　B. Do You Have Will Power ?

　　C. Will Power Benefits Us

　　D. Dark Side of Self-control

　　61. What do most people think causes bad behavior?

　　A. Being forced by others.

　　B. Not having enough will power.

　　C. Enjoying their first experiences.

　　D. Following the examples of their friends.

　　62. The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ____.

　　A. will power helps develop bad habits sometimes

　　B. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagers

　　C. self-control should be developed when one is young

　　D. everyone can be challenged by different temptations

　　63. In the last paragraph, the author stresses that ____.

　　A. without self-control, no one can succeed

　　B bad habits don’t always lead to bad results

　　C. applying self-control correctly is important

　　D. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior

　　C

　　Should e­cigarettes (electronic cigarettes) be a new choice for the smokers trying to get rid of the habit? Reactions from Americans are mixed．More than half of the people questioned in a survey think e­cigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration，but 47 percent believe the e­cigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit．

　　“In the hunt for a safer cigarette，e­cigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer，” Zogby International，which conducted the survey，said in a statement．

　　About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about e­cigarettes，which are battery­powered，or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution．They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell．Sold mostly on the Internet，e­cigarettes were first made in China．

　　Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using e­cigarettes，saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit．The WHO said people who smoke e­cigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs．

　　Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that e­cigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden，because they don’t produce smoke，but 46 percent disagree．Men who were aware of the availability of e­cigarettes were more likely than women to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit．Young people，aged 18－29，and singles were the groups most open to trying e­cigarettes．Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide，according to the WHO．

　　A．American smokers ought to try e­cigarettes．

　　Zhu Haoyu, 18, a history major, wears his iPod everywhere on campus. The freshman has it going out for a walk, visiting the library or lying in bed. However, he found that his habit is like displaying a big “Do not disturb ”sign for himself.

　　As time slips away, he has begun to regret not having conversed much with his peers around.”As I put the little buds(耳机) into my ears , I’m immersed in a universe of my own, forgetting all troubles in the real world.,” said Li.

　　The MP3 player is one of a number of gadgets (小玩意)—starting with the Sony Walkman, which led to the iPod, iPhone and iPad —that give people the ability to shut themselves off from world around them.

　　Youngsters delight in handset (手持的) technology. In public, students chat on their cell phones, stopping only to talk briefly to friends. On buses or trains it’s common to see youngsters with PlayStations instead of playing poker or sharing jokes or games. And during airline flights, people watch episodes (连续剧) of US TV dramas on their iPads, rather than talking.

　　The BBC News magazine recently published an article saying that headphone wearing culture is making us anti-social. “Half of humankind is wired to a parallel universe that leaves them ignoring their surroundings and fellows,” wrote Tom de Castella.

　　Actually, it’s a decade since Apple unveiled the iPod, which promised “1,000 songs in your pocket”. In 2007 more than half of Western residents were using an iPod or MP3 player.

　　Entertainment is on offer in all surroundings, not just at home. But in the meantime, it had created barriers between us. Many people subscribe to the view that the headphone culture is creating a “spoil, selfish generation that lacks civic(公民的) culture”.

　　However, many users of portable MP3 players argue that the device, as a mind drug, helps them relieve stress by escaping for a while. It is also said to be able to help some students concentrate on work or study. “If you want to get away from the hucksters (小贩) on the way, just start listening to your player,” said Liu, a freshman. “They do not approach people with headphones on.” This might also mean he’s blocking those who want to ask him for the directions.

　　Experts, however, say that short contacts or mini conversations with strangers are helpful to our mind. Many experts warn that it is dangerous to lose touch with people in our lives.

　　72、Zhu Haoyu found that his wearing the iPod

　　.

　　A. disturbed others

　　B. made it easy for him to keep in touch with others

　　C. made it easy for him to visit the library

　　D. made others unwilling to talk to him

　　73、The underlined word “immersed” can be replaced by

　　.

　　A. lost B. involved C. engaged D. interested

　　74、What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?

　　A. Students are always busy chatting on their cell phones in public.

　　B. Young people are fond of portable listening or visual devices.

　　C. Young people like to watch US TV dramas on their iPads.

　　D. People like to enjoy the networking.

　　75、What is the writer’s attitude towards the headphone culture ?

　　A. Agreeable.

　　B. Critical.

　　C. Doubtful.

　　D. Neutral.

　　书面表达

　　随着电脑普及率的提高，老师、家长和学生对字迹的重视程度降低了。据一项调查显示，有85．8%的中学生说自己的字迹不好看，而他们又不想改善字迹，其理由有很大差别。
