Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different 35 , or forget about it and 36 the tiles in your life that are not missing.We all know people who have had a relatively 37 life, yet are often unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 38 remain happy.The first 39 is gratitude. All happy people are 40 . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 41 , but its truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.The second secret, is 42 that happiness is a byproduct(副产品) of something else. The most obvious 43 are those pursuits(追求) that give our lives purposeanything 44 studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are 45 to experience.Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our 46 has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier.

He switches on his personal computer in order to connect with the office. After work he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael does not talk to any other human beings, and he does not see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his life style is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.The world of business is one area which technology is separating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents and accountants could do their jobs with their computers in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people theyre dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts（银行账户）, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts.Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is a personal experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.51. The underlined sentence “Michael is imaginary, but his life style is very possible.” means _.A. Michael is a person full of imagination and can make realize his dreamsB. Michael is not a real person but the life style does exist actuallyC. Michael has many dreams but he cant make his dreams come trueD. Michael is a person full of imagination and his style is common nowadays52. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Clerks will be able to work at home.B. One can play baseball on the computer.C. One can listen to music without disturbing others.D. One can borrow books from libraries at home.53. What will the author most probably discuss after the last paragraph?A. Games and sports. B. Personal banking.C. Music and films. D. International business.54. What is the main idea of the passage?A. We may no longer need to communicate with other human beings.B. Modern technology seems to be separating human beings from each other.C. We may not need to work in the office any longer in the near future.D. Modern technology makes it possible to work and entertain oneself at home.BAt a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible sites(地点)for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices.The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.The real attractions of the Hollowell farm to me were its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded(相邻)on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadnt been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apple trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before the owner made any more improvements. But it turned out as I have said.I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I dont think I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted(无牵挂的).It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.55. What do we know about the author?A. He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he lived.B. He made a study of many farms before buying.C. He made money by buying and selling farms.D. He had the money to buy the best farm in the country.56. Why did the author decide to buy the Hollowell place?A. It was of good market value. B. It was next to the highway.C. It was in a good position. D. It was behind a nice garden.57. Why did the author want to buy the farm in a hurry?A. He was afraid the owner might change his mind.B. He hoped to enlarge the forest on the farm.C. He wanted to keep the farm as it was.D. He was eager to become a farm owner.58. The underlined words “the loss” in the last paragraph refer to_.A. the money the author lost in buying the farmB. the sale of the garden in the Hollowell placeC. the removal of the trees around the houseD. the failure to possess the Hollowell placeCThousands of years ago people guessed the time of day by watching the sun.Later，they found it was easier to tell the exact time by looking at the shadows. Thus, the sundial was invented.The sundial proved a useful timepiece in sunny weather. However, another type of timepiece was necessary for cloudy weather and night time. A sand glass was another common measurer of time. Two glass bottles were connected by a very small opening. The top bottle was filled with sand, which dropped slowly into the bottom one in a certain period of time. Hour glasses were widely used then. Three-minute sand glasses are still used in many homes to time the boiling of eggs.The real ancestor of modern clocks was the water clock. In China, an early water clock was made up of several bowls. Water trickled from one bowl to another to keep the clock going. Visitors to the Beijing Palace Museum can still see the old water clocks showing the time there.In the Middle Ages a waterless clock was invented which worked by means of weights. To keep the weight falling at the same speed, a system of wheels was invented. The pendulum(钟摆) was soon developed to control the speed of the wheels. Thus the modern form of clock came into being.59. What is a sundial?A. A magical thing that can attract the sunshineB. An ancient invention which is related to the sunC. A tool of telling the time by helping people watching the sunD. A time-telling tool which also helped people to get to know the sun60. Which of the following is the correct picture of a sand glass?61. From the passage we can infer that_.A. Chinese people invented modern clocks.B. We can see a water clock in a museum about things in the Middle AgesC. Ancient Chinese used bowls and water to tell time.D. People couldnt tell time until there was a sundial.62. In the Middle Ages the weight falling speed of a clock was kept by _.A. several bowlsB. a system of wheelsC. a system of pendulumD. several springsDIt was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They stood before El Captain, a huge rock almost 1.2 kilometers high. Mark had long dreamed to climb El Captain when he was a child. At the age of twenty-one, he had fallen while climbing mountain, losing his legs. But he never lost his love for life.Mark knew he couldnt finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter would be there to lend a helping hand. They thought it would take seven days to reach the top. Now Peter climbed about 30 meters up and hit a piton(岩钉) into the rock. Fastening(拴紧) one end of a 50-meter rope(绳子) to the piton, he let the other end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-bar(丁字铁) to the rope. Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach, and began the first pull-up. High above, Peter let out a cheer, “Youre on your way.”For the first four days the two men progressed upward(向上) without accidents. But on the fifth day, a very strong wind began to blow, making it hard for Mark to hold on to his rope. But Mark kept on pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up.It took them one day more than they had expected. But as the two heads appeared, the group of people waiting on the top went wild with joy.Mark Wellman showed that if you set your heart and mind on something, no wall is too high, no dream impossible.63. What had Mark Wellman long desire to do?A. To finish one of the most difficult rock climbs in the world.B. To be the first to climb EL Captain.C. To climb the highest mountain in California.D. To help his friend Peter climb EL Captain.64. How did Mark climb the mountain?A. He fastened the rope to the wheelchair.B. He hammered in pitons so that he had something to hold on to.C. He held on to the T-bar and Peter pulled him up.D. He pulled himself up using a T-bar and special equipment.65. How did Mark react to difficulties during the climb?A. He admitted that he was frightened.B. He often worried about his friends condition.C. He was able to remain calm and determined.D. He was joking to cheer himself up.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Building Trust in a Relationship AgainTrust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. _66 _ That i
