write and that finally burst through and found a channel.My people were of the working class of people.
My father, a stonecutter, was a man with a great respect and veneration (崇敬) for literature.He had a
tremendous memory, and he loved poetry, and the poetry that he loved best was naturally of the
rhetorical kind that such a man would like.Nevertheless it was good poetry, Hamlet"s Soliloquy,
Macbeth, Mark Antony"s "Funeral Oration", Grey"s "Elegy", and all the rest of it.I heard it all as a child;
I memorized and learned it all.
He sent me to college to the state university.The desire to write, which had been strong during all my
days in high school, grew stronger still.I was editor of the college paper, the college magazine, etc., and
in my last year or two I was a member of a course in play writing which had just been established there.
I wrote several little oneact plays, still thinking I would become a lawyer or a newspaper man, never
daring to believe I could seriously become a writer.Then I went to Harvard, wrote some more plays
there, became obsessed with (着迷于) the idea that I had to be a playwright, left Harvard, had my plays
rejected, and finally in the autumn of 1926, how, why, or in what manner I have never exactly been able
to determine.But probably because the force in me that had to write at length sought out its channel, I
began to write my first book in London.I was living all alone at that time.I had two rooms-a bedroom
and a sitting room-in a litter square in Chelsea in which all the houses had that familiar, smoked brick and
creamyellowplaster look.

D. worked as a newspaper man before becoming a writer
4. The author really started on his way to become a writer______.

supervision,protective equipment and techniques,and a proper emphasis on winning,sports can develop
a healthy body and spirit and a lifelong interest in being active and fit.Without such measures,childhood
sports can lead to injuries and even paralysis or death.
Even in the best conditions,no activity can be riskfree.But most serious hazards are preventable.
Cyclists and football players can reduce their risks by wearing helmets; hockey players by wearing
masks; basketball and tennis players by wearing eye guards; baseball players by wearing batting
helmets.
Besides,risks to individual players can often be found,and thus prevented,through a properly
performed medical exam before a child plays.For accidents that may not be preventable,having an
emergency plan and firstaid equipment,and someone trained to use the equipment,can be lifesaving.
Still,each year,according to the American College of Sports Medicine,more than 775,000 children
under 14 are treated in emergency rooms for sports injuries,nearly half of them preventable.An estimated
300,000 athletes experience exerciserelated head illnesses each year,and almost all of them should have
been avoided.
Further,from half to threefourths of sportsrelated concussions(脑震荡) are never even diagnosed; the
injured are often sent back to play too soon and put at risk of another more serious braindamaging
concussion.To help reduce these risks,the National Center for Sports Safety,with the National Athletic
Trainers"Association,offers a threehour online safety course for coaches for $28
at www.SportsSafety.org.
1. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. All the accidents can be prevented.
B. All the accidents cannot be prevented.
C. Lives can be saved so long as there is proper equipment.
D. Lives cannot be saved even if there is proper equipment.
2. What does the underlined word "hazards" (in Paragraph 2) mean?
A. Mistakes.
B. Diseases.
C. Dangers.
D. Situations.
3. It is implied in the passage that________.
A. prevention of injuries is not paid enough attention to
B. children under 14 are more easily hurt in sports
C. most head illnesses are related with exercise
D. none of the head illnesses should have happened
4. What can coaches mainly learn from the online safety course?
A. How to cure braindamaging concussion.
B. How to diagnose braindamaging concussion.

hundred dollars may be enough.
The institute opened its door last year,and,since then,men and women of all ages have been paying
$200 an hour for lessons on how to feel great.
"You can actually increase your happiness levels.That"s what we teach," said Timothy Sharp,founder
of the institute.
Experts say that only about 15 percent of happiness comes from income,assets and other financial
factors.As much as 85 percent comes from things such as attitude,life control and relationships.
Most of us are significantly better off financially than our parents and grandparents,but happiness
levels haven"t changed to reflect that.
Studies show that once the basic needs of shelter and food are met,additional wealth adds very little
to happiness.
Many decades ago,the "sage of Baltimore,Maryland",editor H L Mencken,defined (下定义) wealth
as earning $100 more than your "wife"s sister"s husband".
Behavioral economists now say part of the reason we are richer but not happier is that we compare
ourselves to people better off materially.
"The argument is that if you want to be happy there"s a very simple thing you can do:
Compare yourself to people who are less well_off than you-poorer,smaller house and car," said
Sharp.
The Happiness Institute aims to show you how to overcome these unhappiness factors by focusing
on "more than just your bank account".
"If I compare myself to Bill Gates then I"m always going to be down," said Sharp.
A better thing to compare with,he said,might be Kerry Packer,Australia"s richest person who has
had a kidney transplant (肾脏移植) and heart surgery in recent years.
1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. You can increase your happiness levels by attending the classes at The Happiness Institute.
B. Most of us are happier than our parents or grandparents since we earn more.
C. Earn $100 more than your wife"s sister"s husband if you want to be happy.
D. Both Bill Gates and Kerry Packer are examples of those who are extremely rich but
obviously unhappy.
2. The underlined phrase has the same meaning as the word________.
A. healthy
B. unhealthy
C. free
D. wealthy
3. The author wrote the passage to tell us________.
A. happiness is everything
B. wealth is the foundation of happiness
C. we can have fun at The Happiness Institute
D. money doesn"t always mean happiness
4. According to the passage,happiness mainly depends on________.
A. income,assets and other financial factors
B. additional wealth apart from the satisfaction of the basic needs of shelter and food
C. things like attitude,life control and relationships
D. society development

and ringfree life.
Can you imagine not having your mobile phone? In our hightech, inahurry age, a cellfree life is a hard
concept to swallow.Our mobile phones can now access the Internet, and many people feel the need to
express their every thought on their blog pages.If I gave up my cellphone, people would think I was mad.
I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology.I have an office phone, a home phone, an email
and if people want to contact me, they can.If I"m out, people can leave a message.Do they really need
to find me 24/7?However, I"m a bit like Frodo in the movie Lord of the Rings.The power of the ring is
too strong and I can"t let it go.
Mobile phones have become necessary tools in our busy life.For most people, they hold all contacts
and many of us don"t write up address books any more.The latest phones carry our music, pictures,
movies and everything else.We feel lost without this device and when we do misplace it, we feel cut off
from our fellow.
"Where have you been?" said a friend, who saw me a week after I lost my cellphone, "I tried calling
you, but you disappeared.You disappeared off the face of the Earth." See, when you don"t have a
mobile phone, you don"t exist.
I"m not really going to toss my mobile phone away, in fact.We humans are such social animals and
mobile phones serve us well.So in 2009, I"ve decided not to serve my mobile phone.Like all machines,
I can always turn it off.
