All we have really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions, and the things, so that they would communicate with each other; and that later they agree upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined(结合) to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. These sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations(交际)-the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal (具有感染力) powerfully to our minds and emotions (情感). This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary(文字) style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey (转达) his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar (粗俗的).( ) 66.

By and by, the little girl was getting better and better. She was allowed to leave the hospital.

You dont need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who havecars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.In fact happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in troubleat school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correctit. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy too. All these are your happiness.If you notice them you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy because you have something else that cant be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy because you have more chances to challenge (挑战) yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes life is like a revolving (旋转) door. When it closes it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.( ) 77. Happiness is for_.A. those who have large and beautiful housesB. those who have carsC. those who have a lot of money D. all people( ) 78. When you do something wrong, _.A. people around you will help you B. you will have no chance to challenge yourselfC. your classmates will laugh at you D. you will be happ
