He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him. He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him. With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiouslybut without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇). The last sting had landed him in hospitaland that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his fathers words came to him. “When you are in a tight situation, dont panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it. ”On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees dont like smoke,” he thought. “They couldnt get into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he dived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother. “Youll really need that fishing break to help you recover,” laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didnt panic!” But Andy did not hear her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow. 41. Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier? A. He was riding to school. B. He was lost in the thought of the fishing trip. C. He was going fishing with his father. D. He was listening to a strange sound.42. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the swarm of bees in the passage? A. They crowded like a black cloud. B. They shocked and terrified Andy. C. They tried to attack Andy in a mass. D. They made Andy stay in hospital for two days. 43. How did Andy avoid the bees in the end? A. He asked Mr. Nelson for help. B. He hid himself under the water. C. He rushed into the Nelson house. D. He rode off in the opposite direction. 44. Which of the following can best describe Andys escape from the bees? A. No pains, no gains. B. Once bitten, twice shy. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. In time of danger, ones mind works fast. BWhen asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的)In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly its conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.In adulthood the things that bring deep joylove, marriage, birthalso bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的)My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. Its easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunchbox and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I dont think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing weve got to have. Were so selfconscious about our “right” to it that its making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things arent necessarily happier.Happiness isnt about what happens to usits about how we see what happens to us. Its the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. Its not wishing for what we dont have, but enjoying what we do possess.45. As people grow older, they _.A. feel it harder to experience happiness B. associate their happiness less with others C. will take fewer risks in pursuing happinessD. tend to believe responsibility means happiness46. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?A. She cares little about her own health. B. She enjoys the freedom of traveling. C. She is easily pleased by things in daily life. D. She prefers getting pleasure from housework.47. What can be informed from Paragraph 7?A. Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness. B. Psychologists opinion is well proved by Grandma case. C. Grandma often found time for social gatherings. D .Grandmas happiness came from modest expectations of life.48. People who equal happiness with wealth and success _.A. consider pressure something blocking their way B. stress their right to happiness too much C. are at a loss to make correct choices D. are more likely to be happy49. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Happiness lies between the positive and the negative. B. Each man is the master of his own fate. C. Success leads to happiness.D. Happy is he who is content. CPoet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hates confinement(限制)and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. Theyd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waisthigh grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons(见识)We eventually arrived at my parents doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journeyand the best part of yourself.50.Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents home?A.It was less tiring.

B.To order some food for them. C.To play a game with them. D.To let them cool down.54.What could be the best title for the passage?A.Charm of the Detour. B.The Road to Bravery.
