in other words, we make our own happiness. here are a few suggestions to help you 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 that we fail to 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 several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. you can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. finally, many people find happiness in helping others. studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. if you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. you can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.46. the best title of the passage is _.a. money makes

suggested that i see a speech specialist (专家) in school.i never really gave much thought to my speech. if other people understood what i was saying, then that was good enough. i didnt mind repeating myself many times.before testing me, the speech specialist asked me what i thought of having good speech. i told her i thought it was not important.“well, when you are in an interview for a job, and they dont know what you are saying, what are they going to say to you? nice meeting you, bye,” she said.maybe good speech was important. i took part in 20-minute classes each week with the specialist.after she tested me, she told me that i spoke too fast, and didnt give enough eye contact (眼神交流). i learned that when i made eye contact with someone, it meant that i was talking to that person, and i could also see what he or she thought about what i was saying.when my first speech class started, i found that i had been speaking too fast to be understood. every time i spoke too fast, the specialist stopped me and told me to start again. at first, i got stopped after almost every other sentence. after a while, i felt my speech slow down. i wasnt sure if people could understand me better, but my friends stopped asking me to repeat myself.speech is an important skill to have. if you do have good speech, thats a good thing, but if you dont have it, it is never too late to improve. 66. the article is probably taken from . a. a newspaper b. an advertisement c. a detective story d. a science book67. what did the writer think of having good speech before the classes?a. it

passage, the writer wants to tell us that _.a. seeing a speech specialist is necessary b. speech is an important skill to havec. good speech can help you make friends d. good speech gets good affect ( d )when i was a child i never said, when i grow up, i want to be a ceo, but here i am. when i look back on my career, i realize the road to becoming a ceo isnt a straight, clear path. in fact, no two paths are the same. but whether you want to be a boss one day or not, theres a lot to learn from how leaders rise to the top of successful companies. as this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a ceo may be different, but the people in that position(位置) share the qualities of commitment（义务）, work ethic（道德） and a strong desire for building something new. and every ceo take risks along the wayputting your life savings on the line to start a software company or leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at a startup. i grew up in minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur（企业家）from my father, who has run a small business for almost 30 years. i went to georgetown university and tried a lot of business activities in college with success. and i always had a dream job pattern(模式): to walk to work, work for myself and build something for consumers(顾客). im only 29, so its been a quick ride to ceo. out of college, i worked for aol as a product manager, then moved to revolution health and ran the consumer product team. in mid-2007 i left revolution health and started livingsocial with several other workmates, where i became a ceo. career advice: dont figure out where you want to work, or even what industry youd like to work at. figure out what makes you do so. what gives you a really big rush? answer why you like things, not what you like doing. . . and then apply it to your work life. also, just because youre graduating, dont stop learning. read more books than you did in college. if you do, and theyre not, youre really well-positioned to succeed in whatever you do. 71. what can we know from the first paragraph?a. the writer hasnt achieved his childhood ambition. b. the writer thinks there is some easy way to become a ceo. c. the
