Advertisers Perform a Useful Service to the Community

Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism. Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. ‘It’s iniquitous,’ they say, ‘that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays…’

The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.

Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration of calamities.

We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!

Another thing we mustn’t forget is the ‘small ads.’ which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the ‘hatch, match and dispatch’ column but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or ‘agony’ column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is!

1. What is main idea of this passage?

A. Advertisement.

B. The benefits of advertisement.

C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.

D. The costs of advertisement.

2. The attitude of the author toward advertisers is

A. appreciative.

3. Why do the critics criticize advertisers?

4. Which of the following is Not True?

A. Advertisement makes contribution to our pockets and we may know everything.

B. We can buy what we want.

C. Good quality products don’t need to be advertised.

D. Advertisement makes our life colorful.

5. The passage is

A. Narration.

Perhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it, do you know? The Internet is a network. It uses the telephone to join millions of com*rs together around the world.

Maybe that doesn’t sound very interesting. But when you’ve joined to the Internet, there are lots and lots of things you can do. You can send E-mails to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds. You can also do with all kinds of information on the World Wide Web (WWW).

There are many different kinds of com*rs now. They all can be joined to the Internet. Most of them are small machines sitting on people’s desks at home, but there are still many others in schools, offices or large companies. These com*rs are owned by people and companies, but no one really owns the Internet itself.

There are lots of places for you to go into the Internet. For example, your school may have the Internet. You can use it during lessons or free time. Libraries often have com*rs joined to the Internet. You are welcome to use it at only time.

Thanks to the Internet, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. It is possible for you to work at home with a com*r in front, getting and sending the information you need. You can buy or sell whatever you want by the Internet. But do you know 98% of the information on the Internet is in English? So what will English be like tomorrow?

1. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Internet. B. Information.

C. Com*rs. D. E-mails.

2. Which is the quickest and cheapest way to send messages to your friends?

A. By post. B. By E-mail.

C. By telephone. D. By satellite.

3. Which may be the most possible place for people to work in tomorrow?

A. In the office. B. At school.

C. At home. D. In the company.

A. English is important in using the Internet.

B. the Internet is more and more popular.

C. Most of the information is in English.

D. Every com*r must have the Internet.

【答案与解析】

这是一篇关于 Internet 的说明文，它介绍了什么是Internet，Internet 的用途，它的贡献等等。

1. A。主旨题。文章的每一段都谈到了 Internet，所以我们可以推断文章的主要内容是 Internet。

2. B。细节题。在第2段中谈到 You can send E-mail to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds，相比其他选项，E-mail 当然是最快的。

3. C。细节题。最后一段的第2句讲到 It’s possible for you to work at home with a com*r in front，所以明天我们极有可能 at home 工作了。

4. D。判断题。根据全文我们得知，我们可以在 school, libraries, home 等地方使用 Internet，所有的拥有者是大家，并不是某一个人或某一行业的从业者。

5. A。推断题。最后两句告诉我们：98% of the information on the Internet is in English，也就是说英语在 Internet的应用是非常广泛，非常重要的，除 A 选项外，没有一个选项能全部概括这句话的意思。

1.保持良好的精神状态。良好的精神状态对于考场上的考生来说非常重要。因为只有在心理放松的情况下，考生的精力才能够集中，思维才会敏捷，从而才能将自己的真实水*发挥出来。

2.抓住中心句。阅读短文之前，先看短文是否有标题。若有，应给予高度重视。因为标题是文章主题的高度凝聚，它能给我们启发和想象，有利于加深对短文的理解，从而提高做题效率。另外，在没有标题的情况下，应充分重视短文的首、尾句。因为大多数文章都是按照“总---分---总”的结构布局的。据统计，英语中有60%-90%的主题句位于段首和段尾，短文的其他文字往往是对这些中心句的解释和说明。

3.克服不良习惯，提高阅读速度。由于考试的时间有限，在保证不出偏差的前提下，一定要尽可能地提高阅读速度。倘若能注意克服以下不良习惯，就可以大大提高阅读速度：①心读。考场上不能出声阅读，于是有的考生就在心里读，有时考生的嘴唇也在动。这是非常不好的习惯，一定要下决心克服。因为这样做会直接制约着阅读速度的提高;②回视(指重新阅读上文)。阅读中的回视是一种无效劳动，所以应一口气把文章读完，尽量不要回视。这坏习惯是慢慢形成的，不是一朝一夕就能克服掉的。在*时的学习中就应当引起注意并加以克服;③一个词一个词地看。阅读时，视线应从左向右跳跃式移动，着重扫描意群，同时注意意群中的重要单词，以寻求主要的语言信息。可将冠词、系动词、助动词及不定式符号等小品词一扫而过，不可一词不漏地全部都看一遍;④只读不记。正确的做法是：一边阅读一边用笔记下或标出那些与文后所设问题有关的信息。这样，在做题时就用不着重新查阅短文，至少不用一句一句地再寻找那些隐约有印象的信息，从而可以节省一些时间。

中考阅读理解短文英语范文 第七篇

As many as 10 of the 17 kinds of penguins（企鹅）may be in danger of disappearing. The number of penguins have decreased（减少） by 30% since 1987.

Penguins are black and white birds that live in the southern part of the world. They are common in South America，New Zealand，Australia and South Africa. Mary live near cold waters. But some live near warm waters in Galapagos Islands. Penguins cannot fly，but they are fine swimmers. Penguins eat fish and krill（磷虾）。

The warming of the earth is the decrease in penguin populations. The heating of the air has caused ocean waters to become warmer. Higher water temperatures have reduced the supply of fish and krill. Some years later these birds are completely unable to reproduce（繁殖）。 Besides，many adult penguins die of hunger.

Widespread（广泛的） fishing，exploration for oil and oil leaks（漏) also make penguins be in danger. Poisonous organisms(生物） in ocean water are another danger. Penguins also have their enemies，including wild dogs，sharks，seals and sea lions.

News about penguins is not all bad，however. Several years ago，oil leaking from a ship hurt 40% of the penguins in South Africa. The penguins became covered with oil. But thousands of people helped clean and treat the birds well. Then they returned the penguins to the wild. Now these South African penguins are reproducing in higher numbers than before the oil leaking.

根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

1、 Penguins ___________.

A. can swim better than fly

B. can be found near Oceania （大洋洲）

C. eat fish only

D. live only in cold waters.

2、 Which of the following is NOT the cause of penguin's decrease in numbers?

A. Oil searching. B. Widespread fishing.

C. Human's killing. D. Warming of the oceans.

3、 Why are the penguins in South Africa reproducing in higher numbers than before the oil leaking?

A. Because people removed the ship.

B. Because people sent a lot of penguins to the wild.

C. Because people helped the penguins.

D. Because people treated the penguins well.

答案及解析：

1、 选B，我们知道企鹅不会飞，因此A不正确，除了吃鱼，他还吃磷虾，因此C不正确。只能选B。

2、 选C，本文中并没有说人类是如何捕杀企鹅，相反，人类对企鹅的态度相当友好。

3、 选C，根据文章可以判断是由于人类的帮助。

中考阅读理解短文英语范文 第十三篇

When we talk about stars ,especially women stars ,it seems that they are always young, pretty and own charming body shapes. But recently a Britain’s Got Talent(英国达人)star Susan Boyle has changed our views absolutely.

Simon Cowell ,one of the judges of the talent show spoke of his shock over Ms Boyle’s voice. “This lady camp up ,and I’m thinking, ‘This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea’. That changed when she began to sing I Dreamed to Dream from Les Miserables. She knew we were going to have that reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face through –it was one of my favorite moments,” Cowell said.

The performance was posted on line and before long, the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world.

Speaking from her home in Scotland, Ms Boyle said that she hasn’t thought of changing her appearance. She said that her friend helped her with make-up. “I mean, that’s hardly a makeover,” she added.

Ms Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents, “I was kind of slow at school, so getting like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence.”

Boyle is _________

A. a judge B. a reporter C. a beautiful D. a Scottish woman

Boyle had a look of satisfaction on her face when she was singing because______.

A. she was confident of her singing

B. she was satisfied with the judges

C. she was pretty and in good shape

D. she sang the song I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables

to the passage, which is NOT true?

A. It was the vocal talents that built Susan’s confidence

B. Susan Boyle was not good at her lesson when at school.

C. Susan Boyle became famous because of her appearance.

D. Simon Cowell didn’t think Susan Boyle a good singer at the first sight.

can we learn from Susan Boyle’s success

A. It’s never too old to learn.

B. It’s easier to succeed at the age of 47.

C. If you have a dream, try to make it come true!

D. If you are not able to study well, to be a singer instead.

中考阅读理解短文英语范文 第十五篇

A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty-six days in a life-raft(救生艇) in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.

Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, Simony, they met some whales(鲸鱼). “They started to hit the side of the boat,” said Bill, “and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later, the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water.

For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water — two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw(生的). Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks(鲨鱼) came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.”

About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn’t stand up.

So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over.

1. Bill and Simone were traveling _______ when they met some whales.

A. in a life-raft B. in Miami

C. in Simony D. in Panama

2. The whales hit the side of the boat, and then _______.

A. they brought in a lot of water

B. they broke the side of the boat

C. they pulled the boat

D. they went under the water

3. After their boat sank, the couple _______.

A. jumped into the life-raft

B. heard water

C. watched the boat go under water

D. stayed in the life-raft

4. During their days at sea, _______ saved their lives.

A. tins of food and bottles of water

B. a fishing-line and a machine

C. whales and sharks

D. Twenty passing ships

5. When they saw the fishing boat which later picked them up, _______.

A. they were too excited to stand up

B. they couldn’t wait to climb onto the boat

C. their life-raft was beginning to break up

D. they knew their two months at sea would be over

参考答案：这是一篇关于一对夫妇如何遇到海难，然后在海上的救生艇上生活了66天后获救的小故事。

1. C。在第二自然段的第1句就告诉我们they left Panama, Simony, they met some whales 说他们是在Simony 旅游时遇见Whales.

2. B。我们从第二自然段得知They started to hit the side of the boat,也就是说是the whales broke the side of the boat。

3. D。在他们的船沉没之后，the couple是一直待在船上直至获救的，而不是一直都在jumped into the life-raft。

4. B。根据第3段的第2句They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water-two things which saved their lives可知：a fishing-line 和 a machine救了他们的命。

5. D。由最后一段After fifty days at sea...我们知道：the couple是太虚弱所以不能站起来，是由船长carried them onto his boat, 而救生艇早在出事后的50天就坏掉了，而不是获救当天坏的，所以A、B、C都可以排除，D项为正确选项。

中考阅读理解短文英语范文 第十六篇

On the President’s Program

President Arling has put his long awaited economic restructuring program before the Congress. It provides a coordinated program of investment credits, research grants, education reforms, and tax changes designed to make American industry more competitive. This is necessary to reverse the economic slide into unemployment, lack of growth, and trade deficits that have plagued the economy for the past six years.

The most liberal wing of the President’s party has called for stronger and more direct action. They want an incomes policy to check inflation while federal financing helps rebuild industry behind a wall of protective tariffs.

The Republicans, however, decry even the modest, graduated tax increases in the President’s program. They want tax cuts and more open market. They say if federal money has to be injected into the economy, let it through defence spending.

Both these alternatives ignore the unique nature of the economic problem before us. It is not sim* a matter of markets or financing. The new technology allows vastly increased production for those able to master it. But it also threatens those who fail to adopt it with permanent second-class citizenship in the world economy. If an industry

cannot lever itself up to the leading stage of technological advances, then it will not be able to compete effectively. If it cannot do this, no amount of government protectionism or access to foreign markets can keep it profitable for long. Without the profits and experience of technological excellence to reinvest, that industry can only fall still further behind its foreign compe*s.

So the crux is the technology and that is where the President’s program focused. The danger is not that a plan will not be passed, it is that the ideologues of right and left will distort the bill with amendments that will blur its focus on technology. The economic restructuring plan should be passed intact. If we fail to restructure our economy now, we may not get a second chance.

1. The focus of the President’s program is on

[A] investment.

[B] economy.

[C] technology.

[D] tax.

2. What is the requirement of the most liberal wing of the Democratic-party?

[A] They want a more direct action.

[B] They want an incomes policy to check inflation.

[C] They want to rebuild industry.

[D] They want a wall of protective tariffs.

3. What is the editor’s attitude?

[A] support.

[B] distaste.

[C] Disapproval.

[D] Compromise.

4. The danger to the plan lies in

[A] the two parties’ objection.

[B] different idea of the two parties about the plan.

[C] its passage.

[D] distortion.

5. The passage is

[A] a review.

[B] a preface.

[C] a advertisement.

[D] an editorial.

答案详解

1. C 工艺技术。最后一段第一句“问题的症结就在于工艺技术，这就是总统计划的要点所在。”第四段：“对掌握新技术的人来说，新技术使他们大大增产，而新技术对不能掌握它的'人来说，在世界经济中他们面临沦为永久性的二等公民的危险。如果不能做到这一点，那么任何*保护主义，进入国际市场都不能有效地竞争。如果不能有技术优势的利润和经验再投资，工业只能进一步落后于国外竞争对手。”这些都说明总统计划的重点再工艺技术。 A.投资。D.税收。只是总统计划的涉及面。B.经济。太笼统了。

2. A 更直接行动。第二段“总统的党内几段自由翼要求更强硬、更直接行动。他们要求用收入(税收)政策来制止通货膨胀;联邦财政在关税保护下，帮助重建工业。” B.他们需要制止通货膨胀。C.重建工业。D.保护关税墙。都只是他们要求中的不分内容，不完整。

3. A支持。第四、五段集中了评论者的观点，支持的理由和论点。 B.厌恶。C.不赞成。D.调和妥协。

中考阅读理解短文英语范文 第二十三篇

阅读理解无非就是由文章和题目构成。中考阅读题解文章题材广泛，体裁多样，如果说按照题材或者体裁来分，那实属不靠谱的行为。就好比将阅读理解这个大敌分解成无数个小敌，这样的仗让你打的应接不暇，想不败都难。那此路不通，我们就绕道，从题型来下手，纵观中考试题，我们会发现，时代在变，生活中在变，导致阅读理解题材也在不停的改变，但是不管怎么变，阅读理解的题型都是亘古不变的。是哪些题型呢？细节理解、推理判断、词义猜测以及主旨大意题。

细节理解题——文章大部分由细节构成，所以细节理解题是四种题型中最多的种，占总题型的70%，多但是不难。经常很多学生骄傲的跟我说：“老师，文章我都没看懂，但我做对了好多题目！”。一分析，做对的都属于细节理解题。

大家肯定好奇这学生为何如此“好运气”呢。其实很简单，他只是碰巧运用了细节理解题的克星——定位，说得通俗点就是到原文中找，这种题型没有做不对，只有不耐心找。带着问题中的关键字到原文中找就是了，那什么又是关键字呢，其实不用太麻烦，外国人的观念跟*人的不同，但为国人也是人，对于东西是否关键大家的理解都是差不多的。比如“我哭了”，没有人会把“我”和“了”作为关键字对不对。

推理判断题——有些人就烦躁了，我明明定位到了原文，怎么还是做错了，这就就是我们要面对的升级版的敌人——推理判断题，不需要你有福尔摩斯的头脑，但是至少要比上面那种题型多用一点脑，那就是稍微往正常方向推一下。何谓“正常”，比如说天上乌云密布，电闪雷鸣，正常人都会觉得要下雨了是吧。当然这需要我们一些基础的生活常识辅助。这也是对同学们的建议，多看，多听，多尝试，常识就是这么积累起来了。

词义猜测题——词义猜测题在阅读理解中的比分虽不大，每年一道或者两道。但是如果你想突出，哪怕一分咱都不要放过。其实大部分词义猜测都是运用语境猜词，通过文章主题和上下文的逻辑关系，来推测出生词或的含义。当然也有使用到词缀的猜词方法，但是在使用这种方法的同时，也需要语境猜词的辅助。

主旨大意题——大部分学生最头疼的就是这题，文章都没看懂，哪知道主旨是什么。其实*时老师经常强调，写作文要点明主旨。出题人写文章也同样会这样，我们只要找到文章的主旨句就好了。关键就是如何找呢？想想自己写文章的习惯，主旨大部分都会出现在文首，文尾，偶偶也会在文章当中。据统计额，出现在文首的情况有80%，文尾的18%，文中的2%。知道这数据之后，该怎么做，你们懂的。

The UnitedNations，in fact，has a huge page with_Volunteers Recruited_ on its website.

It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp(军营).It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.

Once Mr White was ill in bed. He couldn’t work and a young officer, Mr Hunt began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening to the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they drank wine. Of course they found the officer was angry.

“I’m sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”

And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier’s turn. He said, “I’m sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…”

Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, “If you say something was wrong with your bus, I’ll punish you at once!”

“No, no, sir,” said the young man. “My bus was all right, but the horse died!”

有一个军事营地就在安静的村庄里，它离乡镇和城市很远，周围有高山。当然这是一个训练新兵的好地方，但是这些人去外面就比较困难。一个四十岁的白长官对他们很严格，几乎不让他们离开营地。

一旦白长官卧病在床不能工作时，就由一个打猎的年轻人替代白长官来训练新兵。打猎的年轻人与新兵很熟悉，一次他让九名士兵去最近的城镇休假，但是夜幕降临了他们还没有返回营地。打猎的年轻人很担心于是站在门口守望。晚上12点差5分钟时打猎先生决定去城镇看看这些年轻人发生了什么事。他迅速地启动汽车并开动，正在这时九名士兵回来了，他们看上去好像醉酒了，当然他们发现打猎先生生气了。

“对不起，先生,”第一位士兵说，“我准时离开城镇，但是在路上汽车出了毛病，我不得不购买一匹马并让它跑得很快。很不幸，马死了，我不得不跑步回来。”

中考英语“阅读理解”题主要是考查考生综合运用所学语言知识的能力，包括阅读能力、理解能力、归纳概括能力、逻辑推理能力以及对材料的评估能力等。

试题中所选的阅读文章题材多样化，涉及政治经济、社会文化、风俗习惯、历史地理、科学技术等各个方面。(这要求学生*时对各方面的知识都有所积累，做个有心人)体裁多样化，包括记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文以及新闻报道、广告、通知、操作说明、表格(要求学生能看懂这类阅读材料尤其是时下出题的趋势)等各种文体。它要求考生阅读理解准确率高、阅读速度快。

大致来说，主要针对如下方面：

1.文章的个别词或句子，可以给出生词让学生猜意，对此类题目学生应尽量在阅读材料中找定义或解释；

2.文章的某细节或情节；

3.文章的主题；

4.文章的背景知识；

新课程标准有关阅读最基本的要求是“能从一般性文章中获取和处理主要信息”。对这种“获取和处理主要信息”能力的考查，主要采用的方式就是细节判断。这类题在阅读理解题中占据半壁江山，做好这类题是确保基础分的关键。同时，弄清细节，正确获取信息，也是把握文章主旨的前提。因此，要特别重视做好这类题。

1、细节事实题题干常见的问句形式

1)True or NOT true 是非判断类型Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? Which of the following statements is NOT true? Which of the following is NOT considered as……? According to the passage， which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the reasons for……?

2)特殊疑问词提问类型How many……?What/who/when/where/how/why……?

3)排序题类型Which of the orders is correct according to the passage?

4)例证题类型The author gives the example in……paragraph in order to ……

5) 表唯一细节概念题类型：……the most / ——est …………the only ……

2、细节事实题的.解题方法：

做这类题的一般方法是先要找出题干或是选项中的关键字，一般为数字、大写或人名地名，再通过scanning快速确定该细节在文中的出处(信息源)，仔细对照题干要求，排除或选择。命题者在出这类题时惯用“偷梁换柱、张冠李戴”的手法来迷惑考生，即对原句细微处做改动，截取原文词语或结构进行改造，因果倒置，把A的观点说成B的观点等。所以正确理解题干和信息句的意义是关键。细节事实题还要十分注意句子的非主干成分，如定语、状语、补语等，这些成分都是出题者常进行误导的落脚点。

是非判断一般都遵循对照选项进行“三对一错或三错一对”的判断。若该信息句是长句或难句，要学会找出其主干部分，分析句子结构，正确理解信息句的意义。一定要注意的是，要所答是所问，不要受到惯势思维的影响，习惯性地去选择正确的细节事实，切记要弄清问题，不要所答非所问。

例证题一定要注意以for example……，such as……等关键入手处，找出细节出处。排序题要先仔细观察选项，找出首尾相同的选项分组，进而通过具体细节信息比较进行排除和选择。唯一细节题一定要仔细审题，弄清题干所需。特别需要提醒的是，选项中出现有most (最高级)、the only(唯一)、all(所有)、none(全否)修饰的细节，都具有绝对性，选择判断时要慎选。

中考阅读理解短文英语范文 第三十一篇

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的)door. When it does, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

1. Those who have big houses may often feel ________.

A. happy B. lonely C. free D. excited

2. When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will ________.

A. laugh at you B. play jokes on you

C. quarrel with you D. help you up

3. What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?

A. Oh, so do I. B. Congratulations.

C. Good luck. D. It’s just so-so.

4. Which idea is NOT RIGHT according to the passage?

A. People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.

B. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.

C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.

D. Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.

5. Which of the following is this passage about?

A. Bad luck. B. Good luck. C. Happiness. D. Life.

参考答案：

1. B。这是一个考查细节和事实的题目。文章中有明确的叙述：Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely…. 所问问题和原文的叙述完全一样。

2. D。这也是一个考查细节和事实的题目。在所给文章中可以找到这样地叙述：When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. 根据这一叙述，我们可以判断：当你在体育课上摔倒时，你的老师和同学们肯定会帮你站起来的。

3. B。这一道阅读理解题同样是考查事实和细节的题目。在阅读文章里我们也能找到关于这问题的叙述：when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you.

4. A。这是一道判断题目。阅读文章里明确叙述：those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.阅读理解题的`A项说，有车的人永远不愿在室外走，与文章所讲完全不同，因此是不对的。

5. C。这是一道考查文章主题的题目。这篇文章共有三段。 第一段的主题句是：Happiness is for everyone. 第二段的主题句是：In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. 第三段的主题句是：Happiness is not the same as money. 三段的主题都是围绕happiness展开的，所以正确答案是happiness。

A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night fortwo nights in a row.

The researchers took make-up free (素颜) photos of the volunteers after boththe good and the bad sleep.

The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at wastired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low.

The strangers also said they wouldn't want to socialize with the tiredstudents. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-lookingface makes people run away. In other words, people don't want to hang aroundwith people who might be ill.

Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said _Judgement ofattractiveness is often unconscious (无意识的), hut we all do it, and we are able tojudge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us._
