You have the ability to decide whether you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice.
You can’t depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early in my marriage. I realized that I couldn’t rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on myself and not my husband’s actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.
You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within, and it can’t be forced by outside force. So how do you choose happiness? The same way, you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit（一套衣服）. You choose it because that’s what you want to experience in you life.
You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feels good. You wouldn’t buy a pair of shoes that you don’t like or that doesn’t fit well, right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don’t make us feel good?
Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one else can do that for us. If we let others get to us, influence our emotions — we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.
We need to keep our feelings in check and not to react（反應） automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.
Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch（使轉變）your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don’t dwell on（細想） what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.

A. To offer advice on how to choose comfortable shoes.
B. To use it as an example to illustrate（闡述）her point of view.

The job of raising children is a tough one. Children don’t come with an instruction manual(說明書). And each child is   36  . So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration(挫折),not   37  what to do. But in raising children—as in all of life—what we do is   38  by our culture. Naturally then, American parents teach their children basic American   39 .   To Americans, the goal of parents is to help children  40   on their own two feet. From  41   , each child may get his or her own room. As children grow, they get more   42 to make their own choices.  43  choose their own forms of entertainment, as well as the friends to   44  them with. When they   45 young adulthood, they choose their own jobs and marriage   46  . Of course, many young adults still   47  their parents’ advice and approval for the choices they make. But once they “l(fā)eave the   48 ” at around 18 to 21 years old, they want to be on their own, not “  49  to their mother’s apron strings (圍裙帶).   The relationship between parents and children in America is very informal. American parents try to  50 their children as individuals—not as extensions of themselves. They allow them to achieve their own  51  . Americans praise and encourage their children to give them the   52  to succeed. When children become adults, their relationship with their parents becomes more like a(an)   53 among equals. But   54  to popular belief, most adult Americans don’t make their parents pay for room and board when they come to   55  . Even as adult, they respect and honor their parents.

What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
(   ) 46. We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.
learning better at school shows power in your job
the better you are at school subjects, the more helpful they are in your career.
learning each subject well is an ability in many jobs.
we should think about how to find our career
(   ) 47. From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good, he
will _____.
A. have no hope in his future work
B. be hopeful to find a suitable job
C. regret not having worked harder at school
D. have an opportunity of a new beginning in his future work
(   )48. All the subjects may have direct value for job hunting except _________.
A. mathematics     B. English       C. history       D. technical drawing
(   )49. The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “_________”.
A. heavy- handed    B. the best      C. important    D. skilled
(   )50. The passage mainly discusses ___________.
A. The relationship between school performance and career
B. how to get a job
C. How to show strengths in your work
D. working experience and knowledge at school

Women turn to online shopping
Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.
For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2004 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women.
“It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study.
Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.
Users were more likely to shop online to save time . Internet users between the ages 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic increase in the online gift-buying population this time around.
However, three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004. They worried about credit card security, or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.
“But even if shoppers don’t buy online, websites are becoming promotion tools for stores,” said Dan Hess, vice president of ComScore Networks Inc. Hess said that actually most stores’ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time
“It’s all about making the shopping experience more efficient, more reliable and more comfortable.” Hess said.
60. Which of the following statements is true?
There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2004.
Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.
People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.
More women shopped online than men in 2004.
61. From the passage we can infer that ______________.
men usually decide how to spend money in the family
women usually decide what to buy in the family
the Internet is used in all the shops
more and more shops will sell their goods online
62. According to Dan Hess , shopping online ______________.
A. is unsafe          B. is convenient          C. is a waste of money      D. is cheaper
63. What can we know from the passage?
A. American people only gifts in holidays.
B. Shopping online is fun for women.
C. Shopping off-line provides better serve.        
D. Young people like to do gift-shopping online.

The whole body is covered with skin.The surface of the skin is dead(like the hair and the nails),but it is made from a living layer(層)just under the surface.The outside dead layers wear off(磨損)all the time,with new ones replacing them,and the body forms a totally new skin every three weeks.
The skin protects the body from the outside world and it passes information from the outside.It helps to keep water in the body and to keep the body at the same temperature.Becteria(細菌)can’t get in through the skin unless it is damaged.
If the weather is cold,the blood vessels(血管)in the skin squeeze down,or contract(收縮),so that as little blood as possible comes near the surface.This means that less warmth is lost to the outside.This makes the skin look pale,or even “blue”.At the same time,the hairs on the skin are pulled upright by tiny muscles.
When it is hot,the blood vessels expand(擴大),or get wider again,to allow plenty of blood to run near the surface of the skin.This helps the body to lose heat,and the skin may look red.At the same time,the sweat glands(汗腺)produce more sweat,which cools the skin.
If your skin has ever been numb(麻木的),you will realize how important the feeling from the skin is.Nerves(神經(jīng))in the skin are sensitive(敏感的)to heat and cold,sharpness,hardness and softness,wetness and dryness and pain.If one is not able to feel these things,which can act as warnings,he is likely to be burned,cut or hurt in other ways.
The colour of the skin depends on special colour cells(細胞).These are just below the top layers of the skin.They are needed as protection from some harmful ray of the sun.The stronger the sun is,the more important it is to have a dark skin.People with pale skins may “tan”(曬黑)in the sun.This happens when the body produces extra colour cells in the skin for protection.In the sun,the skin produces a vitamin(vitamin D)which is needed for strong bones.
小題1:Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A．Our hair and nails are dead like the surface of the skin.

B．There is skin all over our body.

C．The skin of our bodies will be completely different in three weeks.

D．The surface of the skin is made of a living layer.

小題2:The second paragraph mainly tells us about______.

A．the functions of the skin

B．the information from the outside

C．the water in the body

D．the temperature of the body

小題3:Bacteria will get in through the skin______.

A．when one’s skin is numb

B．when one is ill

C．when the skin is cut

D．when the sweat glands produce more sweat

小題4:When the weather is cold,the skin will contract in order to______.

A．a(chǎn)llow more blood near	B．make the skin look blue
C．keep warmth	D．help the body lose heat

小題5:The colour of the skin is determined by______.

A．the rays of the strong sun	B．colour cells
C．top layers of the skin	D．vitamin D

Today, as with so many days, I found myself stuck in a traffic jam, and I thought I’d share my little trick for keeping calm when it seems like you are creeping along(緩慢行進).
The key to understand is that traffic jams don’t take as long as they seem to. It’s just that when we are in a hurry, and think we should be moving, but time appears to pass more than it does. To really show this, the next time you are stopped at a light that always seems to take forever to change, try to do something with your phone, your laptop, whatever you have available, and watch how much briefer the light seems.
When you enter a jam on the highway, reset your trip plan and care the time. Then, when you clear the jam, and are normally on your way again, care the distance of the jam, and the time it took to get through it. For my experience today, it took me 6 minutes to go 2 miles. Now, it happens to be mathematically convenient that your average speed on the highway is about 60 mph, or a mile per minute. So to estimate what time the jam actually cost you, just take your traffic jam passing time, and subtract（減去） the distance covered, which we know is a good estimate of the time it would have taken with no traffic jam. In my case, all that added up to 6-2="4" minutes.
Do this for every jam you are subjected to every time and watch how much less stressful they become once you understand how little time you are really losing.
小題1:We can infer from Paragraph 1 and 2 that ________.
A. there was no traffic jam in the past
B. modern people are under great pressure
  time passes much faster during traffic jams
D. people in traffic jams are usually impatient
小題2:What does the writer suggest when caught in traffic jams?
A. Playing a trick on other drivers.
B. Figuring out how much time the jam actually cost you.
  Doing some math problems.
D. Informing the boss about the delay.
小題3:The underlined phrase “subjected to” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A. experience          B. avoid                admit                     D. control
小題4: What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Math is closely connected with life.
B. Stress is always a bad thing.
  Traffic jam is not as bad as you think.
D. There is no use complaining about traffic jams.
