阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。（本大题共20分，每小题2分）( a )if you were born in the 1980s, maybe you are not so cool as the kids from the 1990s.the kids today are called “post-90s” generation(90后), have become much cooler than the 1980s group. they can even speak “martian(火星的) languages”, that is more difficult and its created by themselves.mrs. li, the mother of a 15-year-old girl, got worried recently, because she couldnt understand what her daughter was writing in her blog(博客). she said, “my daughter likes talking with her friends on the computer. i want to know what they are talking about, but i cant understand what they are writing on it. they use chinese, english, numbers and pictures. sometimes i ask her if her friends can understand her meanings, she saidyes. they think its a powerful and secret tool and the parents and teachers cannot figure out at all.”a 14-year-old boy said,“the students in my class often use martian language to talk with each other. it can help us hide our secrets from our parents and teachers.”some people say “martian language” is good because its fast and easy. but some people say its not, they think we need to protect our chinese. especially, many parents and teachers think the “martian language” is so strange that people cant understand each other very well.what do you think?1. what does the “post-90s” generation probably mean from the passage ?a. the

important for everyone. most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to buy anything they want, which means happiness. on the other hand, some people believe that holding a high place in the government is happiness, because they think they can make more money and more people will respect（尊敬） them or even it can bring many other things. but we say happiness comes from ourselves. here are the ways to keep ourselves happy.the 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 higher school or getting a job that we dont enjoy the present. we should enjoy the lifes simple pleasure, such as reading a good book, listening to our favorite music or spending time with close friends.to be happy, we should also be active(积极的). many people go dancing or play sports. people can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.besides, many people find happiness in helping others. they will feel happy when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for others. if you want to feel happier, you can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbour, or simply help around the house. that is“giving is happiness.”now maybe you know how to find happiness.6. which of the following words has the same meaning as “wealthy”?a. pleased b. rich c. excited d. healthy7. how many ways does the writer show us in this passage?a. one. b. two. c. three.
