　　There once was a very wealthy man who had made great achievement. He had more money than he could ever spend, and he was admired and looked up to by his neighbors. Still,he knew that something was missing in his life. He wasn't happy. All his life he had been striving(奋斗)for happiness, but he had never been able to find it.

　　Then one day, he heard about a hidden temple in Nepal that had a special room that contained the secret of happiness. He immediately sold all that he owned and set out to find this hidden temple. After many years of searching and countless hardships he arrived there. He was tired and penniless, but he knew that none of that was important now because he had found the temple. He asked a wise, smiling monk(僧侣)if he could enter the special room. The monk agreed and showed him the stairs leading to the room. He climbed them with legs shaking with expectation and slowly opened the door. He stared into the room with sunlight streaming through the window and saw what he had come so far to find. There hanging on the wall was the secret of happiness. The man gazed at himself in the mirror and laughed.

　　It is time that we all realized that we were the secret of our own happiness. Happiness is a choice that we can make. Don't spend the rest of your life searching the world for happiness then. Just look in the mirror and laugh. Just let the happiness flow from your heart, mind, and soul until it fills your life and the lives of all those around you.

　　Remember that divorce is confusing for children. When you first talk with children, limit your discussion to the most important issues; children can become confused if they are given too much information at once.children need to hear that their basic needs will be met, that someone will still fix breakfast in the morning, help them with their homework. Children also need to know that their relationship with both parents will continue, if possible. In the face of so many changes, children also need to hear what will remain the same. Parents can make sure their children through words and actions that their love will continue despite the changes in family life.

　　During these family discussions, it is important for parents to tell children that the divorce is final and avoid giving children false hopes that the parents will reunite. Parents can also use this time to tell children that the divorce is not their fault. Many children believe that the divorce is a result of something that they did. For instance, when asked why parents divorce, some children may explain that parents are divorcing because the children misbehaved or received bad grades in school. Remember to ask children about their fears and concerns. Give children time to think about the divorce and the changes ahead.

　　Take your children’s questions and concerns seriously and listen to what they say. As stated by one child, “This is gonna affect the rest of my life and I don’t know if they just don’t realize that, or don’t care, or what, but I don’t feel like I’m being heard.”

　　Children need to know that parents recognize the impact of divorce on children’s lives. By listening to children’s thoughts and feelings about the divorce, parents show their ongoing care and concern.

　　1. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Talking with children about divorce.

　　较难题目特训：科普知识类

　　The 2017 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about. But one more has just been added—a communications blackout caused by solar storms.

　　After a period of calm within the Sun,scientists have detected the signs of a fresh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2017,just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.

　　Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth,causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and internet links sending live Olympic broadcast from London.

　　“The Sun’s activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites,“ said Professor Richard Harrison,head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.

　　At the peak of the cycle,violent outbursts calledcoronal mass ejections(日冕物质抛射) occur in the Sun’s atmosphere,throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. “A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount,can disable satellites,cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications,” Professor Harrison added. The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots.

　　Next week in America,NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory(SDO),which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available.

　　The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of thesolar flares(太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.

　　Professor Richard Holdaway,the lab’s director,said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth. “If we have advance warning,we’ll be able to reduce the damage. What you don’t want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what’s caused the problem,” he said.

　　1. The phrase “communications blackout” in Paragraph 1 most probably refers to　during the 2017 Olympics.　

　　A. the extinguishing of the Olympic torch

　　B. the collapse of broadcasting systems

　　C. the transportation breakdown in London

　　D. the destruction of weather satellites

　　2. What can be inferred about the solar activity described in the passage?

　　A. The most fatal matter from the corona falls onto Earth.

　　B. The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.

　　C. It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach Earth.

　　D. The number of sunspots declines after coronal mass ejections.

　　3. According to the passage,NASA will launch a satellite to　.　

　　A. take images of the solar system

　　B. provide early warning of thunderstorms

　　C. keep track of solar activities

　　D. improve the communications on Earth

　　4. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

　　A. Solar Storms:　An Invisible Killer

　　B. Solar Storms:　Earth Environment in Danger

　　C. Solar Storms:　Threatening the Human Race

　　D. Solar Storms:　Human Activities to Be Troubled
