阅读理解。     You can never be too sure these days in the United States of your neighbours or even your customers! Try to keep a low amount of attention from the public in your neighborhood: don"t announce to just about
everyone that you are running a home business with thousands of dollars worth of equipment. As much as possible, don"t invite customers or visitors to your home. In fact I know of some home-based businessmen who would rather meet their clients in a neutral ground, e.g. the client"s office or even Starbucks.
     There are other ways to keep burglars away from your house.
     ●Keep lights on around your house in the evenings. Light is a natural fright for burglars.
     ●Invest in a security alarm, particularly if your house is located in a remote spot. Security systems can
often bring down the cost of your homeowner"s insurance fees.
     ●Make sure that all windows and doors are locked and the security alarm turned on before you sleep
at night or go out of the house. Avoid keeping house keys in obvious places, such as under the lamp or
top of the doorframe.
     ●Adding an additional lock will provide extra security when you are home. The dead-lock, sometimes called an "exit-only deadbolt" is an deadbolt that doesn"t have an external(外部的)key. It"s clearly visible
on the door from the outside, but can"t be broken into without destroying the door, frame, or lock itself.
While the security won"t help directly when you aren"t home, the visibility may discourage an intruder from
trying the door.
     ●Your door itself should be made of strong materials, such as one-inch thick solid hardwood or heavy metal.1. The advice given by the writer in the passage focuses on __________.  A. what to do when your house is broken into
B. how to make your house safer from burglars
C. how to improve social security in the United States
D. how to run a home business2. Some home-based entrepreneurs don"t invite customers to their home _____.A. to enjoy convenience outside their home
B. in order to avoid being seen by burglars
C. not to let others know their business
D. for reasons of their property safety3. All of the following are part of the writer"s advice except that the homeowner ________.A. buy a security alarm and turn it on in the evening
B. keep lights on in all rooms to threaten burglars
C. have the doors made of solid hardwood or heavy metal
D. fix an extra lock on the door from inside4. What does the underlined word "intruder" most probably mean in this passage?  A. Someone who illegally enters the home.
B. Someone who is invited to visit.
C. Someone who pays regular visits to the home.
D. Someone who tries to destroy the lock.

举一反三

阅读理解。     I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such a splendid,
fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or
nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an
act. It is a deeper, more lasting emotion.
    Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us
relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because
their positive effects end when the fun ends.
    I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has
nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy
cars, expensive homes, everything that spells"happiness". But in memoir(回忆录)after memoir, they
reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism ,drug addiction, broken
marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.
    Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage, if he"s honest, and he will tell you that he is afraid of making a
commitment, for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and
excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
    Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful
happiness. They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they can. Couples with infant
children are lucky to get a whole night"s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don"t know any parent who
would choose the word fun to describe raising children.
    Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating(解放性的)realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely
increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing
to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all
those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun
actually may not be happy at all.1. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. fun creates long-lasting satisfaction
B. fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness
C. happiness is lasting whereas fun is short-lived
D. fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness2. To the author, the role Hollywood stars play is to ________.   A. write memoir after memoir about their happiness
B. tell the public that happiness has nothing to do with fun
C. teach people how to enjoy their lives
D. bring happiness to the public instead of going to parties3. In the author"s opinion, marriage ________ .A. affords greater fun
B. leads to raising children
C. indicates duty and devotion
D. usually ends up in pain4.Which of the following is the best example of"painful happiness"?A. Winning lottery by accident
B. A bachelor resisting marriage
C. Raising children
D. Buying some fancy clothes5. If one gets the true sense of happiness, he will ________.A. stop playing games and joking with others
B. keep himself with his family
C. give a free hand to money
D. use his time to increase happiness

There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly. For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his simple life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own goals of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one"s goals at too low a level of achievement. A wise counselor once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own professional success: "You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park, or riding the subway downtown," The counselor added, "You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like, and to which you have given your best effort."
1. In the paragraph one, the author implies that_____ are essential in achieving success .
A. ability and goals B. ability and environment C. goals and determination D. goals and environment
2. Which one of the following statements is Not True?
A. All the rich people are not considering themselves successful. B. Only the person who achieves great goals can be regarded as a successful man. C. Living a simple life and enjoying peace is for some people a success. D. A shepherd is someone who takes care of sheep.
3. The last paragraph implies that ______.
A. success means taking a walk in the park B. success means achieving great goals C. we should have high goals D. success means trying one"s best at what one really likes
4. This passage mainly talks about _______.
A. the definition of success B. how to achieve success C. how to set goals D. the importance of goals

In the United States you will find yourself being urged from every page of every newspaper and every television station to buy all kinds of goods. Not only is there a wide range of prices for goods in America, there is also a wide range in the quality of goods offered for sale. Unlike some countries, Americans generally pay the price of a product without question, instead of trying to get a lower price by bargaining. However, there are many "sales" in the United States, during which time stores will lower their normal prices. This may all be very confusing to visitors. How are you going to know how to "get your money"s worth" when you shop? Perhaps the best advice is: Don"t hurry. Visit various stores and determine the quality of goods. Read the advertisements so that you can compare prices. There is a great variety of shops in the United States, ranging from very large stores called "department stores" to very small shops. There are "discount houses" offering goods at low prices, and "dime stores" specializing in a wide range of inexpensive items. Most department stores in large cities carry better quality products at higher prices. However, they offer the shoppers great convenience since they contain such a wide variety of products. If convenience isn"t as important to you as price, you may want to shop in discount houses. These stores have nearly as great a variety of goods as department stores, but offer lower prices. They can do so for several reasons. They don"t offer the same services to buyers that department stores do; there may be fewer sales people; and the store probably doesn"t deliver purchases. Another popular shop is the "dime store". No longer selling many things for five or ten cents, these stores got their name in the last century when it was decided that a small profit on a great quantity of goods would be better than a large profit on fewer sales. Dime stores specialize in a wide variety of inexpensive items and today, prices range from a quarter or 50 cents up to several dollars.
1. The passage is mainly about______
A. American hospitality. B. the life of Americans. C. American stores. D. the business of Americans.
2. Why can discount houses offer goods at lower prices compared with department stores? a. They have fewer employees. b. They have larger quantities of goods. c. They offer fewer services. d. They don"t provide delivery service.
A. a b c B. a b d C. a c d D. b c d
3. What"s special about dime stores?
A. They sell lots of goods at a small profit. B. They make big profits by selling some goods. C. They provide goods with a price lower than 50 cents. D. They provide goods ranging from bargains to expensive ones.
4. Where can we most probably read this passage?
A. In a research paper. B. In a science report. C. In a geography book. D. In a travel magazine.
