Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success dont bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.Some people believe that if they are wealthy , they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people beliveve that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which cant be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value（重视）their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.Here are a few ways to help you to be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, which we dont enjoy the present. You should enjoy lifes simple pleasures , such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier life.The second secret of happiness is to be active . Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her students, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.Now maybe you know how to find happiness!( )6.The underlined word “wealthy” means “_” in the article.A.pleased B.healthy C.excited D.rich( )7.Some people who hold a high position in the government think they can _ .A.get money and something they cant buy with money B.do what they want to do at any timeC.enjoy health which makes them work hard D.take an active part in all kinds of activities every day( )8.The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people _ .A.think about getting a good job B.think of presents they dont likeC.often spend time with close friends D.often spend time on entering the college( )9.Many people find it happy to _.A.remember the old days and trouble B.do some meaningful things for othersC.go shopping to buy some food D.make much money and little success( )10.The passage mainly tells us _ .A.how to find happiness B.how to save happiness C.to do something good for others D.to value our beliefs or health( C )For hundreds of years , scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effedt on peoples emotions（情感）. How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, by the actions of others and by events around you. Perhaps you dont know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well.Peole often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce a vitamin. Vitamins are natural chemicals（化学物质） which we all need to stay healthy. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical. This special chemical affects our brains（大脑） and makes us feel happy. For exalmple, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies prduce less Vitain D. Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this speical chemical which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special “sunrooms” with artificial（人造的） lights have been built. People can go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!The weather can also affect peoples emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can ge unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains. Through these ways, the weather can influence our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.( )11.Whcih of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor（因素） that affect ones emotions?A.Weather B.Actions of others C.Personality D.Age( )12.Which of the following is true about vitamin D according to the passage?A.It is a kind of artificial chemical B.It makes us worried by affecting our brains C.It is needed by us all to keep fit D.It is in the sunlight.( )13.What can we infer from the passage?A.We feel good when we are in the bright cool weatherB.We will be happy when we are caught in the rainC.All people in Norway and Sweden feel sad in winterD.The more vitamin D you have, the happier youll be( )14.In which of the following situations, people will be happier?A.On a hot day B.On a rainy day C.On a cloudy day D.On a sunny day( )15.What may be the best title for this passage?A.Why Do We Feel Sad? B.The Weather Influences Peoples EmotionsC.People Need More Vitamin D D.We Can Hardly Change the Weather( D)16._ How about a pim-pam?17._ Well, these were both earlier names for the game that has come to be known as table tennis or ping-pong ball all over the world . Maybe you often play it, but do you know how it was invented?18. _ They also have to look at their surroundings. For example, if people like running, they need to find some way to continue their running when the weather makes it hard to be outdoors. People who like to play tennis also need to come up with a plan, for bad weather.19._ When they were in unform, it would be very difficult to have a moving game of tennis. They came up with a gentle sport instead. They made cigar boxes into paddles（球拍）. They took the corks（软木）from wine bottles and made them round. They set up a row of books across the center of a table to from a boundary（边界）. Using this equipment, they batted the cork back and out across the books . They called their new game “table tennis”.The soldiers brought their new game back home to England with them. By 1890, several versions（版本）of the game had appeared. Two of these versions were known as “whiff whaff”and “gossima”. A game company, Parker Brothers,even put out a set of equipment and set up a quick game anywhere the players could play. 20._根据短文内容，把下面方框内的句子还原到文中空白处，使文章内容通顺、完整。A.
