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 have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your hear into it. When you are in trouble at 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 correct it. 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 yourself. So you cant 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.（1）Happiness is for .A . those who have large and beautiful houseB . those who have carsC . those who have a lot of moneyD . all people（2）When you do something wrong, . And you feel happy.A . people around you will help youB . you will have no chance to challenge yourselfC . your classmates will laugh at youD . you will be happy（3）Which is true according to the passage?A . when you get success, your friends will be very proud of you.B . You can get help from others when you make mistakes.C . You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.D . All the above.18. （8分） The following Mini Course will give you lots of ideas on how you can turn your favorite hobby into a business.

To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical(批判性的) thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes（过程）. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.The word “critical”here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen-beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are interested in life and want to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning（推理）are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in todays world: fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure（尺度）of intelligence（智慧）, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein. Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately made Hoffman feel comfortable by saying, “Please go slowly. I dont understand things quickly.”（1）Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically, _.A . it will be hard for us to think naturally and fastB . we might be controlled by other peoples ideasC . we will follow the ideas of others naturallyD . we might be fooled by other peoples ideas（2）If you are a critical thinker, you will _.A . take one view against another viewB . trust the reports in the newspapersC . think deeply about different ideasD . criticize other people for their mistakes（3）In the last paragraph, “something new” suggests that _.A . speed can improve intelligenceB . intelligence is not decided by speedC . the smarter you are, the faster you do thingsD . the faster you do things, the smarter you become20. （10分）（2017赤峰）根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。I am Alice.

Also, they wanted to have some feast with the fish they caught.After they reached the pond, they sat at a distance and started hunting for fish. The first fisherman got a big and beautiful fish in a few minutes. He decided to cook the fish as a whole fish at noon. He spent some more time and caught a few more fish. He decided to make a grand meal with the fish. Also, he froze a few fish to take them back home.It was almost more than an hour since they fished.

The second man caught many big fish, but he just put back all those fish into the lake.Very annoyed by his act, the first fisherman angrily asked him, “Are you mad? Why do you put your fish back into the water? They were beautiful and big!”The second fisherman replied, “I know they were big, but I dont have the big pan to cook the big fish!
