thinker, said, “happiness depends upon ourselves.” 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.41.

seuss was born in 1904. by the middle 1950s, he had become one of the best-loved and most successful childrens book writers in the world. his books are very popular with young readers. they enjoy the invented words and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants. in 1954, life magazine published (刊登) a report about school children who could not read. the report said many childrens books were not interesting. doctor seuss strongly hoped to help children and decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read. he used words with the same ending sound, like fish and wish. he did not receive training in art. yet, he drew the pictures for most of his books.in 1957, dr. seuss wrote the cat in the hat. he used less than 230 words to write the book and even a six-year-old should be able to read it. it was a fun story and easy to read. children loved it. their parents loved it, too. today it is still one of the stories they like best. the success of the cat in the hat made him want to write more books for children. in 1960, he wrote a book using less than fifty words. the book is called green eggs and ham.in 1984, doctor seuss won a pulitzer prize (普利策奖). he was honored for the education and enjoyment his books provided american children and their parents.he died at the age of 87, but his influence remains. millions of his books have been sold worldwide. people say his

america, if a friend invites you to visit his family, but youve never been to his home before, what should you do? here are some tips. it is important to arrive on time for special dinners and parties. if you are late, call your friend to explain. it is not necessary to bring a present, unless (除非) it is a special occasion (场合) a birthday or an important holiday, like christmas. however, you may always politely ask your friend if there is anything you can bring or if there is anything you may do to help in preparing the meal or cleaning up afterwards. most americans think it polite for guests to leave one or two hours after dinner unless they ask you to stay longer. it is a good idea to write a thank-you note expressing (表示) how much you enjoyed the evening. this is a very formal way to express thanks. you may also call your friend or say something when you meet again. 51.when your american friend invites you to his home, you must arrive at his home _. a. early b. late c. on time d. right now 52. you should bring a present to your friend if it is _. a. his birthday b. sunday c. the spring festival d. a weekday53. according to the passage it is polite for you to _.

one or two hours b. one or two days c. one or two minutes d. the whole night55. _ is the formal way to express thanks. a. seeing your friend again b. calling your friend c. saying something about it d. writing a thank-you notedin todays world many people seem to be hungry for money. some of them even lose their lives for it. money does have its most effect(影响) on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesnt mean more happiness.if money was everything, all millionaires (百万富翁) would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life .however, this is not always true.nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “i love you”. but can love be bought? im afraid not. love means to give, not to take. to every person, health and a long life are probably the precious （珍贵的）things. well, can health and a long life be bought with money? the answer is “no”.of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. true friendship cant be bought either. in a word, where money is worshiped (崇拜), money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. no matters how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person. if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for.56. according to the passage, which of the following do you think is right?a. money is everything b. money isnt necessaryc. money is important, but not the most important d. with no money, with no success.57. whats the most important thing for every person according(根据) to the writers ideas?a. only

may live a long life even if you are poor.c. every year many people die in the word because their family is poor. d. if you are rich, you will have less friendship.e americans with small families own(拥有) a small car or a large one. if both parents are working, they usually have two cars. when the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van a small car can hold(容纳)four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowded. a van hold seven persons easily, so a family of three children could ask their grandparents to go on a holiday travel. they could all travel together. mr. hagen and his wife had a third child last year. this made them sell a second car and buy a van. the sixth and seventh seat are used to put other things, for a family of five must carry many suitcases(衣箱)when they travel. americans call vans motor homes. a motor home is always used for holidays. when families are traveling to the mountains or to the seaside, they can live
