It took them a long time to cut down a tall tree, gouging out (挖空) the center. Through painstaking effort, they made a canoe out of the tree. They launched the canoe into a river, and then 41 together in it, singing with 42 .Socrates asked, “My children, do you have happiness now?” They answered in chorus（齐声地）: “We 43 be happier!” Socrates 44 , “Thats it! 45 you are too busy pursuing something to notice anything bitter, happiness will occur.”From the story I got to know that happiness 46 hides behind every tiny thing that you are involved in（参与）, and that you may only get pleasure through 47 work and creativity.We may have to _48 pains in our daily life and in the process of 49 happiness.

All over the world, men and women, young and old, enjoy recreational（娱乐的） activities. So, beyond doubt, entertainment plays an important role in our daily lives. In modern society, there is a broad range of recreational activitiesfrom online computer games to lovely picnicsthat meet the needs of different groups of people. Therefore, it wont be difficult for you to find some recreation to refresh your body and mind.Recreational activities have a number of benefits, especially in this highly competitive society. They can help us relax, have fun and relieve stress. In fact, I believe there is no better way to get exercise and relieve stress than to take an active part in recreational activities. But can recreational activities do us harm? Of course they can. Lets take TV as an example. There is no denying that TV offers access to the latest news and to useful knowledge, while providing us with entertainment. However, if we spend too much time watching TV, it will numb our mind and destroy our creativity, which is exactly the opposite of what we really want. Whats more, TV can also show some pornographic programs, which are absolutely unsuitable for us young students. So, just as the old saying goes, every coin has two sides, and watching TV is no exception.As a student, I think recreational activities are very important for us. But this doesnt mean we should take up whatever recreational activities are available. Instead, we should strike a balance between work and rest. We should have our own judgment, which means knowing what is good for us and what is not. And we should exercise self-control so as not to become addicted to them. I believe moderate recreational activity will benefit us in many ways and help us live a full, meaningful life.56. Why does entertainment play an important role in peoples daily lives?A. Because online computer games are popular with people.B. Because entertainment can help people have fun instead of relieving stress.C. Because people of all ages enjoy recreational activities.D. Because it is easy and convenient to take up any recreational activity.57. Which of the following statements is not counted as（被认作）the disadvantage of TV?A. People are addicted to watching TV.B. TV provides people with the latest news.C. Some programs are unsuitable for young students.D. Spending too much time on it may destroy peoples creativity58. In the authors opinion, what is the proper attitude to recreational activities?A. Spending as much time as we like watching TV.B. Taking part in any recreational activities available.C. Learning to control ourselves about entertainment.D. Benefiting us by taking part in different activities.BIts great to go on vacation, but its also nice to come home. Migrating (迁徙) birds seem to feel the same way. Birds such as black-tailed godwits (黑尾塍鹬), a migrating bird that can be found in Europe, Asia, north Africa and north Australia, fly south every winter. Then, they return home to spend the summer months with their life long partner. Now, scientists have found, pairs of godwits often return to their summer breeding grounds within three days of each other, even though they spend the entire winter apart.Researchers in England, put colored leg bands on the birds. Then, they asked birdwatchers around Europe to report by email when and where they saw the birds during the winter.The simplest way for birds to return at the same time would be to spend the winter together. After all, if theyre in different places, they cant call each other on the phone and talk about when theyll meet again.But, the survey found that couples usually spent their winters in different countries up to 1,000 kilometers apart. One male, for example, spent the winter on the coast of Ireland while his mate（伴侣） was in France.These findings are important for protecting the birds, scientists say. Black-tailed godwits live for up to 25 years. They spend their summers in Iceland, where they mate, but they spread all over other parts of Europe in winter. Once a pair mates（交配）, theres a 90 per cent chance that theyll return to mate with each other again the next year. So, protection of their wide web of holiday destinations is very important.59. Black-tailed godwits are birds that .A. live in five continents B. feed on fishC. make a long journey in winter D. all gather in England in winter60. The passage tells us that .A. pairs of godwits have fixed the date of migration in advanceB. British researchers spend plenty of time watching godwitsC. British researchers learn the local position of godwits by emailD. scientists have found out how godwits arrange their date of return61. Why are the findings（发现） about godwits important?A. To help people observe them. B. To help godwits find their mates.C. To help them to find their destination D. To help people protect their habitats.62. The best title for the passage is .A. The brief introduction of godwits life B. The migration of godwits interests scientistsC. Godwits are well protected D. Godwits come back home for loveCI was walking along Orchard Road when I realized a tall young man wearing a jacket and tie was following me.
