As I lay there bleeding, I suddenly realized that I might have to live the rest of my life without legs. How depressed I was at that moment! But then I realized that depression wouldnt get my legs back. So I decided not to waste my life feeling depressed. When my parents arrived at the hospital, they stood there quietly, looked so shocked and sad. I told them, “Ive already accepted the fact. Now you also have to get used to this.”Ever since then, I often see my friends getting worried about little things: their bus comes late; they get bad grades on a test. But I just enjoy life.I am lucky to realize that it is a waste of energy to focus on what you have lost, and that the key to happiness is to take pleasure in what you have. Sounds simple, doesnt it? So why are many people unhappy?People often think happiness is based on what they achieve. “My whole life would improve if I had a new car.” But when you get the car and what happens? For a whole week you are walking on air. Then you go right back to being unhappy.Happiness is not a happening; its a state of mind. Even though you have the whole world and youll still be unsatisfied. And you have relatively(相对地) little but feel full of joy. Happiness comes from mastering the art of enjoying and taking pleasure in what you already have.（1）After the accident, the author didnt feel depressed anymore because_. A . the doctors could help him get his legs back.B . he must comfort his parents at that time.C . he knew depression made no difference to him.D . he was just a childish and forgettable kid.（2）In the authors opinion, the main cause of most peoples unhappiness is they_. A . dont want to achieve more for future.B . pay so much and get so little.C . always compare with others.D . pay so much attention to what they have lost.（3）In paragraph 5, when the man gets the car he had expected_. A . he will choose to walk on foot for a week.B . the car will bring a lasting happiness to him.C . he will find the car is no help for him at allD . he will go back to be unhappy after a few days（4）The author wants to tell us _. A . how one person enjoys a life without legsB . we should forget the loss and the gains in lifeC . happiness is just a state of mindD . our life will be improved if we fight for our dreams.3. （4分）阅读理解 The Great Wall is one of the most famous historical sites in the world today.
