阅读理解     It is commonly believed that most people go to work to make money. However, it has been said that
today people earn money to go to work. The difference between making money and going to work
suggested by this is important.
     Would you give up your job if you had a lot of money? In a 2010 poll(民意测验) conducted by the
Gallup Organization, quite a few people conducted among said they would do so, but researchers find that work is one of life"s main satisfactions for many people.
     Take Liu Yan, 23, a former teacher, for example, before she quit her job in 2010, she taught at a high
school. Although the salary was of the ordinary, she liked her job and worked so successfully that in only
one year"s time after her graduation from college. She not only won a prize for excellence in teaching, but
also enjoyed wide popularity among her students. In her second teaching year, however, she met a
millionaire and got married; and went to live in Hong Kong with her husband. There she led a very
comfortable and easy life, spending most of her days doing shopping and going traveling. After one year of endless vacation, though, she began to miss her work and asked for return to her teaching position. "I"m so tired of this kind of life," she explained in her letter to the school she had previously worked for, "that I miss more than ever the days with my students."
     So what do you think of it? Which is more important: work or money?
One more question, if there are two jobs, the one offers good salary with little challenge, just like work in
the government department; the other, a lot of challenge but low salary, what"s your choice?1. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Work is more important than money.

阅读理解     I"m a 21yearold boy,and this is my story.
     A month after I graduated from high school in 2004,I was coming home from swim practice and was
involved in a car accident.I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma (昏迷) for over two months at
Prince Georges Hospital.

never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries.Just like my body,my dreams were
shattered  (破灭).But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from living my dream.

independently again.When I was out of hospital,I still had to go to outpatient therapy (门诊治疗) in
Waldorf,Maryland.After spending a few months in a wheelchair,I took baby  steps to walk on my own.It was a miracle (奇迹) that I  could walk again,but I wanted to prove that I could not  only walk,but run.

阅读理解Be Happy
Lioyd Morris
    "The days that make us happy make us wise."--John Masefield.
    When I first read this line by England"s Poet Laureate(桂冠诗人),I was amazed.What did Masefield
mean?Without thinking about it much,I had always  assumed that the opposite was true.But his calm
assurance(自信) was remarkable.I could not forget it.
   Finally ,I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound (意义深远的)observation.The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear understanding,not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed(变暗淡) by despair and boredom,and without the blind spots caused by fear.
   Active happiness-not more satisfaction or contentment-often comes suddenly,like an April shower or
the unfolding of a bud(蓓蕾).Then you discover what kind of wisdom has accompanied it.The grass is
greener;bird songs are sweeter;the shortcomings of your friends are more understandable and more
forgivable.Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your spiritual vision.
   The insight of happiness are not limited to what is near around you.Unhappy ,with your thoughts turned in
upon your emotional sadness,your vision is cut short as though by a wall.Happy ,the wall crumbles(倒塌).
     The long vista(展望)is there for the seeing.The ground at your feet,the world about you-people ,
thoughts,emotions,pressures-are now fitted into the larger scene.Everything assumes a fairer proportion
(比例、关系).
     And here is the beginning of wisdom.1.After reading the line by Masefield,the writer felt surprised.Why?A.Because he didn"t expect such a poet would have written such a line
B. Because he had never thought about that before
C. Because he thought it was impossible to be both happy and wise
D. Because he thought it rubbish for Masefield to write something like that2.what makes being both happy and happy possible?A.Significance    
B.comprehension  
C.Cooperation    
D.Responsibility3.According to the writer ,when does active happiness happen?A.happiness occurs when t rains in April spring
B.active happiness happens when a bud unfolds
C.it occurs when your understanding of everything is better
D.it happens out of our expectation4.What is the beginning of wisdom?A.taking a long view of things      
B.looking at things from different angles
C.considering advantages and disadvantages
D.sweeping down irresistibly from a commanding height
