I think it should be controlled more strictly than now.Somebody said that the person who has it in mind to kill another can do it without a gun, so the causes of murders are not guns but the trend of despising (蔑
视) life in the US.And they also insist that there is no clear evidence that the increasing number of murders
is connected with possession of guns, so the personal rights should not be restricted by the reason that
there is not enough evidence.
Several months ago, I agreed with that partly.But as we know, the private groups like NRA have used
the public opinion and persuaded the government to protect their profit.Other weapons such as knives,
razors, bats are made for their own usage.But guns are made for only one reason-to kill someone.Of
course, there are people who have guns to protect themselves from the criminals.But crime is getting
more cruel and severe nowadays, so actually even if someone has a gun, it is impossible to guard himself
completely.
As a substitute, I think, if the possession of guns is controlled more strictly, people can live safer lives
than now.There are other reasons to oppose the gun control (e.g.the possession of guns is historical
inheritance (继承)and represents that people"s resistance will beagainst tyrannical (专制的)government),
but none of them can justify and explain today"s serious situation in the US.
1. The writer"s purpose is to give his opinion about________.
A. personal possessions
B. American culture

D. gun control
2. Which of the following supports the writer" s opinion?
A. The causes of crime are not guns.
B. People are accustomed to having guns.
C. People can live a safer life without guns.
D. Guns are used for selfdefence.
3. What is the current situation in the US?
A. The number of murders is rising.
B. Everyone in the US possesses a gun.
C. NRA has ruled over the country.
D. No evidence is available after a crime.
4. According to the writer, ________should be banned in the society.
A. knives
B. guns
C. knives and guns
D. knives, razors and bats

On the other hand, if you found a way to release that negative belief, a great flood of energy would pour forth, greatly increasing the likelihood of your success.How much energy we are willing to invest in the various ideas, dreams, and visions we carry within is like the money people are, or are not, willing to invest in the various products available for trade on the stock market.And in both cases, belief plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something.One way to open up the possibility for greater success in our inner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable guide we sometimes think.There are other more reliable things of success that we can put our faith in, such as passion, feeling, and sense.Some of the most successful investors in the stock market are the ones that go against the grain, trusting their sense over the common opinion held by common people about what will work.
In the same way, we can learn to trust our heart"s desires and our sense to guide us, questioning any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselves.As we take out energy from limiting ideas about what is possible, we free up the resources that have the power to make our inner economy prosper.
1. We can safely conclude from the first paragraph that________.
A. our belief is not reliable
B. belief is not so important in our success
C. belief is an obstacle to our success
D. our belief determines our success in some way
2. According to the passage, if a family of origin has passion for literature, the members of the family
will probably________.
A. write poems
B. hate literature
C. enter the field of literature
D. teach literature

A. passion
B. feeling
C. sense
D. stock market
4. The purpose of the author is________.
A. to teach us a lesson
B. to give us some useful suggestions
C. to encourage us to invest in the stock market
D. to tell us common people have negative beliefs
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.

A. made an important contribution

2. The author believes that he became a writer mostly because of________.
A. his special talent
B. his father"s teaching and encouragement
C. his study at Harvard
D. a hidden urge within him
3. The author________.
A. began to think of becoming a writer at Harvard
B. had always been successful in his writing career
C. went to Harvard to learn to write plays
D. worked as a newspaper man before becoming a writer
4. The author really started on his way to become a writer______.
A. when he was in high school
B. when he was studying at Harvard
C. when he lived in London
D. after he entered college

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.
C. How to predict the possibility of brain damage.
D. How to deal with the injured properly.
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
