The advisor followed the king everywhere and his favorite piece of advice to the king was “Everything happens for the good.”One day the king went hunting (狩猎) and had a small accident. His foot was injured. Fortunately, he was not badly injured but as always he was forced to ask his advisor what he thought about the accident, to which the advisor replied, “Everything happens for the good.”This time the king was really angry and put his advisor in prison (监狱). The king then asked his advisor, “Now, what do you think?” The advisor again answered, “Everything happens for the good.”About a week later the king went on another hunting trip. As it turned out the king was caught by some cannibals (食人者) and taken to their camp where he would be prepared to be their evening meal. Before putting him into the cooking pot, he was examined and the cannibals realized that the kings foot was injured. They decided to throw him back into the forests. It is the tradition for the cannibals not to eat anything that was in any way injured.It is true that everything in our lives happens for a purpose, and most often for our own good. If you think about it, all our past experiences actually happened to bring us to where we are today and make us a better person.

You dont 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 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 feel you are very happy, because you have something else that cant 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 you have bad luck. As the saying goes,Life is like a revolving door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.28.

DMany cities and towns have laws that require people to recycle paper and plastics. Now some state and local governments have passed laws that require citizens to recycle their food waste as well. California and Vermont have statewide laws about recycling food waste that apply to businesses and homes. The process of recycling food waste and turning it into usable soil is called posting(堆制肥料).Food waste that can be posted includes fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, tea bags, and eggshells. Garden waste such as stems and leaves can also be posted. Meat, fish, and dairy food waste cannot be recycled.According to environmental groups, posting reduces the amount of trash going into landfills(垃圾填埋池), and posted waste holds a wide range of nutrients. When post is added to the soil in gardens and fields, it helps crops grow.Reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills is one reason why cities and states are passing food-waste recycling laws. “Our landfills are far from enough for the creation of new ones is shrinking.” Renee Crowley, a project manager at Lower East Side Ecology Center in New York City, told TFK.Officials in Seattle, Washington, say that food waste makes up 30% of the trash going into landfills, and they are looking to reduce that percentage. That city has a law requiring people to recycle food waste. It is banned from all garbage. There is a fine for people who put it into regular garbage.Crowley points out that even in cities where food recycling is not a law, there are often places where citizens can drop off their food waste for posting. Many schools and colleges have also started posting programs.Those who are against food-recycling laws say that the posting process is costly. In addition, it can be difficult for people who live in apartments to store their waste because they dont have access to outside storage bins. Patti Ferguson from Orange County, California, told her local newspaper that she thought an indoor container containing food waste would get smelly.32.What do we know about posting from the text?A. Not all food waste can be reused B.It is cheap to post food wasteC. Not all soil can be posted D. It is usually processed in empty landfills33.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. Ways of keeping nutrients in the soil B. Ways of reducing the amount of trashC. Examples of different useful nutrients D.Benefits of recycling food waste 34.In Seattle, throwing food waste into garbage is .A.acceptable B. shameful C. required D. illegal 35.Patti Fergusons attitude towards food-recycling laws is probably .A. thankful B. negative C. uncaring D. supportive第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips for the perfect selfie （自拍）You can take a selfie with a hand - held digital camera or mobile phone and later share it on the Internet.
