becomes happy, while the other becomes unhappy. this arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons and events and the resulting effects upon their minds.people who are happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. they enjoy all cheerful things. those who are unhappy think and speak only of unpleasant things. through their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. if this turn of mind is found in nature, such unhappy people should be pitied. the intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation（模仿）. it grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. the habit may be strong, but it can be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects. although this attitude is mainly an act of the imagination, it has serious results since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. if such people aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. nor will anyone speak a word in favor of their hopes. if they are criticized, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join in criticizing their wrong doings. so they should change this bad habit and stop worrying needlessly about themselves and others. if they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. otherwise, they will have a disagreeable time, especially when someone becomes mixed up in their quarrels.26. how does the writer tell the happy from the unhappy?a. according to their degree of health. b. according to their wealth.c. according to their attitudes to the same thing. d. according to their habits.27. the phrase “sour the pleasure of society” in paragraph2 probably means “_”.a. have a good attitude towards social lifeb. make others unhappyc. tend to blame others openly d. enjoy the pleasure of life28. we can conclude from the passage that _.a. we should pity all unhappy peopleb. unhappy people are dangerous to social lifec. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessd. unhappy people can not understand happy people29. if such unhappy people insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _.a. not have any communication with themb. show no respect for themc. persuade them to recognize the bad effects of their habitsd. quarrel with them until they realize their mistakes30. in this passage, the writer mainly _.a. describes two types of people b. laughs at unhappy peoplec. offers advice for unhappy people d. tells people how to be happy in lifecthe mayan indians lived in mexico for thousands of years before the spanish arrived in the 1500s. the maya were an intelligent, culturally rich people whose achievements were many. they had farms, beautiful palaces, and cities with many buildings. the mayan people knew a lot about nature and the world around them. this knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time, because they could use it to make their lives more comfortable and rewarding. knowledge about tools and farming, for instance, made their work easier and more productive.in ancient mexico there were many small clearings in the forest. in each clearing was a village with fields of corn, beans, and other crops around it. to clear the land for farms, the maya cut down trees with stone axes. they planted seeds by digging holes in the ground with pointed sticks. a farmer was able to grow crops that produced food for several people. but not every maya had to be a farmer. some were cloth makers, builders, or priests.the maya believed in many gods, including rain gods, sun gods, and corn gods. the people built large temples to honor the mayan gods. skillful workers built cities around these temples. it was difficult for them to construct these cities, because they had no horses to carry the heavy stone they used to build with. workers had to carry all of the building materials themselves. today, many of these ancient mayan cities and temples are still standing.although the cities that the maya built were beautiful, and the people worked hard to build them, very few of the people lived in them. usually, only the priests lived in the cities.the other people lived in small villages in the forests. their houses were much simpler than the elaborate structures in the cities. they lived in small huts with no windows. the walls were made of poles covered with dried mud, and the roof was made of grass or leaves. most maya lived a simple life close to nature.measuring time was important to the maya, so they developed a system for measuring it accurately. farmers needed to know when to plant and harvest their crops. mayan priests made a system to keep track of time. they wrote numbers as dots (.) and bars (-). a dot was one and a bar was five.the mayan priests(牧师) studied the sun, moon, stars, and planets. they made a calendar from what they learned. the year was divided into 18 months of 20 days each with five days left over. the mayan calendar was far more accurate than the european calendars of the time.around the year 800, the maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. no one knows why this happened. they may have died from an infectious disease. they may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops. archaeologists（考古学家）are still trying to find the lost secrets of the maya. they are still one of our greatest mysteries.31.according to the passage, what made the mayan peoples life easier?a. their knowledge about nature and the world.b. the arrival of the spanish.c. the location of their villages and cities.d. the gods they believed in.32. which of the following is not true about the maya?a. religion was an important part of the mayan culture.b. the maya led a simple and natural life.c. most mayans lived in the cities they built.d. tools made the mayans farming easier and more productive.33. what numbers do“ . . ”and “ ” represent respectively?a. 2；3 b. 10；3 c. 2； 15 d. 10；1534. the elaborate（精心制作的） structures in the cities _.a. were complex and consisted of many parts b. didnt have much decorationc. were small but very cozy（舒适的）d. were made of modern materials 35. what is the main idea of this passage?a. the mayan calendar was more accurate than the european calendar.b. the maya were an intelligent, culturally rich people with many achievements.c. the mysteries of the maya.d. how did the mayan develop their agriculture?三.
