a computer in the classroom. i remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. one day, i found the source code(编码)for one of these games. without knowing or being taught any programming language, i was able to figure out some of the basic code. i just gave myself an infinite number of lives in the game, so i could continue playing it forever. this was also my first introduction to algebra, and i didnt even know it at the time. this was a decisive moment in my life. i was quite excited because of what i was learning and what i was able to do. as a result, i was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self learning and computers, and i was quite happy doing them too. ive noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. this enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. it also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. it may also lead to success, wealth, and achievements. success, wealth, or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet i know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. i know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. i know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.61. what can we know from paragraph 1?a. the author has a great talent for algebra.b. creative thinking is necessary for every child.c. the basic code of the computer is not difficult.d. the authors experience in his childhood changed his life.62. the underlined word infinite means_a. big b. limitless c. normal d. small 63. the author wants to tell us through his experience in the school that _. a. interest is the best teacher b. children are the hope of the futurec. young people are fearless d. where theres a will, theres a way64. what is the secret of happiness in the authors opinion? a. success and wealth. b. gifts and self-confidence.c. enthusiasm and good health. d. knowledge and achievements.65. we can infer from the last paragraph that _.a. people who are rich and successful in career generally feel unhappyb. wealth cant bring people any happiness and comfortc. one will feel unhappy once he has gained all the things that he wantsd. being enthusiastic about what you do is more important than wealth csticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. you probably heard those lines in grammar school, but do you really agree that harsh (严厉的) or negative words do not harm us? words have power. surely we all have had our feelings hurt by something someone said. we may not say words to hurt others, but the way we interpret (解释) them and how we say them may cause great harm. heres an example: an ancient king dreamed all his teeth had fallen out. he sent for a wise man to explain his dream to him: the dream means that all your relatives will die and you will be left alone! the king was very angry and threw the interpreter into prison. he then sent for another interpreter who said, congratulations! king! you will live many more years. in fact, you will survive all your relatives. long live the king! both interpreters gave the same interpretation, but there was a huge difference in the way they said it. our speech must be understood by those who hear our words, but the way we say things and the intention behind them have as much power as the words themselves. words can cause anger or appreciation. which would you rather receive? people who say harsh and negative things may not mean to harm, but have you ever known anyone who is a naysayer? they often look at the dark sides of things. they always see the glass as half empty rather than half full. how do you feel when you are around this type of person? remember: words have power. use them wisely.66. the author mentions the story of the ancient king to show that _.a. one dream sometimes has different explanations b. good words can bring good luck to peoplec. people should be careful when talking to a kingd. different ways of saying things have different effects67. the underlined word naysayer in the last paragraph refers to a person who always _.a. has a negative attitude b. likes to be praisedc. talks big d. likes to repeat what others say68. according to the text, how can people understand each other better?a. by sharing different life experiences. b. by accepting different habits.c. by properly using words. d. by recognizing different values.69. the author wrote the last paragraph to _.a. show how the dark sides of things affect people b. advise people to see and say things positivelyc. show how harsh and negative words hurt peopled. advise people to stay away from negative people70. the passage mainly talks about _.a. the power of words b. the cruelty of the king c. how to understand others d. how to build good relationshipspart iv writing (45 marks)section a (10 marks)directions: read the following passage. fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the
