20、 ofBOne day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw Kyle from my class walking home from school. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running towards him knocking all his books out of his arms so he landed in the dirt. I saw terrible sadness i

21、n his eyes. Handing him his books, I said, "Those guys are fools. They really should get punished." He smiled at me gratefully. It was the smile that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. I

22、invited him to play football on Saturday with me. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. As he started his speech, he cleared his th

23、roat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years: your parents, your teachers, maybe a coach, but mostly your friends. I am here to tell you that being a friend someone is the best gift you can give them."I just looked at my friend with

24、 disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable." I heard the gasp(倒吸氣) go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us al

25、l about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and Dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a persons life. God puts us all in each others lives to impact one

26、another in some way. Each day is a gift from God! Dont forget to say, “Thank you!”31.

28、Paragraph5?A. My kindness helped Kyle through his hard time.B. It was Kyles weakest time after he met me.C. Kyle experienced his hardest time when speaking.D.

29、ow us the impact of kindness.C. To advise us to be grateful for God.D. To help us get through the hard time.CWhat is the definition of “happiness?” Is it material wealth filled with fancy cars, a dream house or jewelry? Or does happiness simply mean having a roof over your head? Food in the fridge?

30、Having a swimming pool? A designer Gucci bag? Love? Money? A perfect job? Do you recall a time-lets say when you were about 5 years old-what defined happiness back then? Was it getting a puppy for Christmas? Or maybe, you were a child of divorce; and all you wanted was for Mom and Dad to get back to

31、gether again? Then as you got older, you were hoping that someone would ask you to the party that would have made your day. During college, good grades made you happy, but it was short-lived. Because in the real world, you had to look for a job, and competition was fierce. But then, you got a perfec

32、t job, could you be happy? We like having and accumulating things. We work so we can pay our rents, credit card debts, school loans, car payments The list goes on and on. And at some point, we realize that apart from having most of what we want, we still arent happy. Now since weve learned to adapt

33、to new standards which weve created for ourselves, we find that we have less time, less patience, less sleep, which leads to more stress and more anxiety. Therefore, dont stupidly make a conclusion that happiness is just based on “things”. Sometimes, we trade our lives for not only basic necessities

34、, but for excessive items and services as well. Certainly, youve heard of individuals trying to “find themselves”, or to “rediscover themselves”. But the point has been missed: happiness is already there. Disappointments and tragedies in life will come and go, but happiness never leaves you. We can

35、lose our jobs, but be grateful for those who love us. We can lose our homes to nature, but be thankful to be alive. If we think we are happy, we are indeed happy. Happiness is merely a perception of each individual. Happiness is part of love, and love is an ocean. Go dive in and get some, and then s

36、hare it with everyone, which can be an endless supply. But sharing happiness with people around demands skilful techniques. 36. The author puts forward a lot of questions to_. A. ask readers for information B. compare answers from readers C. expect positive answers from readers D. draw readers atten

37、tion to the topic 37. It can be inferred from Para.3 that_. A. accumulating things is not a good habit. B. pressure and worry should be ridded of. C. people have to work hard to pay for daily necessities D. some arent satisfied with what they have possessed 38. Individuals trying to “rediscover them

38、selves ” fail to realize that_. A. they havent got lost in the material life B. each individual has different opinions on happiness C. there has existed something worth making them happy D. it is not necessary for them to bear heavy financial burden 39. People will feel happy if_. A. they think of t

39、he positive aspects of life B. they seek excessive items and services C. they have no disappointments in life D. they can get a puppy for Christmas in their childhood 40. The paragraph following the last will probably talk about_. A. the definition of happiness B. how to share happiness with others

40、C. the ways to rediscover happiness D. where to seek happiness in our daily lifeDMost young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind: football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering

41、.Those who have a passion for climbing high and steep mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women are willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms o

42、f activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport, not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as tennis and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that ma

43、kes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team sport”. Then we are mistaken in this. There are, it is t

44、rue, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock surface linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of n

45、ature. This sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve his skills year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or s

46、ixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skills than waste less effort.41. Why is mountaineering not a game?A. Because it is dangerous.B. Because it has no man-made rules.C. Because it is unfamiliar to many people.D. Bec
