Passage 6( 2014 江蘇常州，D) 

    For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened,and there was nothing special about it.Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at.It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better.One way is being unselfish,not wanting everything from our friends. Another way is to look for good points,not bad points in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.

    You do not have to be spineless (優(yōu)束寡斷的) in order to be popular.In fact,you will be liked or loved if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights (正當(dāng)行為) .Bui do it politely ami pleasantly.Being friendly and polite to your gioup,to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.

    You cannot expect to be perfect,and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes.Everyone makes mistakes,and no one is to be blamed if he does not refuse to learn from them.

Just remember that we all have some of these faults (缺點(diǎn)） and have to fight against them.

    At the same time,it is important to remember that while you are probably no worse than others,the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong,it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you do not like a teacher or a classmate.Try to see why,and look at yourself,too,to he sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you. Some day,things may turn out all right when you have to learn to get along the best with the situation,without thinking too much about it. Wor?rying never helps in a situation you cannot change. 


l. One of the two ways the writer suggests for us to get along with oth?ers is to  .

  A. work hard at everything we do 

  B. enjoy the best share of everything 

  C. look for treasure in order to be successful 

  D. pay more attention to their strong points

2. If a person wants to be popular,he or she has to    .

  A. be polite and friendly

  B. give up some rights 

  C. get away arguing with other people 

  D. be ready to change his or her character 

3. No person but someone should he blamed if he or she    .

  A. is modest and generous 

  B. does not draw a lesson from his or her own mistake 

  C. is selfish and lazy 

  D. is very unhappy with unpleasant quality 

4. The purpose for the writer to write the passage is to    .

    Mayme Clayton collected books,magazines,and letters written by African Americans.Her son,Avery Clayton,thought her collection was important.Unlike most books,these were rare and hard to find.They were written by writers who helped shape African A-merican culture.

    One book in the collection was written by Phillis Wheatley.Wheatley was a slave who wrote poetry.She was the first African American to publish (出版) a book. Wheatley herself signed (簽名) the book in the Claytons’ collection.No one else owns a copy signed by Phillis Wheatley.

    By the time she passed away at age 83 ,Mrs Clayton had more than 30 ,000 books by or about black people.Her collection also includes papers about slaves,photographs,movies,sheet music,and personal letters by black leaders and artists. It is one of the biggest personal collections of African American history and culture in the United States.

    Avery Clayton's dream was to create a museum for his mother's treasures.Scholars say that Mrs Clayton^ collection is very important. Without her work,part of African American heritage (遺產(chǎn)) would have been lost. “We didn't know these things existed,” says Sara Hodson of California^ Huntington Library.

    The collection’s new home is likely to be in Culver City,California. Part of Avery Clayton^ dream is to share the cultural riches his mother collected with others. He especially wants kids to have a chance to see the collection。 At present African American culture is being explained by pop culture,he says. “ It's important to offer a more complete picture。
