20."To seek(追求)happiness is to look for it"was once said by the famous French author Jules Renard.Look for it?Sure …but don't spend a lifetime trying,especially if it's well within your reach but you are just too blind to see it.Discover the three keys to happiness that you have already understood,but that you are just too afraid to find it.
1.Accepting Yourself
The idea of happiness is difficult to understand if you are not at peace with yourself.Learn to accept yourself as you are.Your next step will be to improve your attitude for tomorrow,for the next day after that,and so forth.
By beginning to accept reality,you will come to the final point of true happiness.Only when you are at peace with yourself,will you finally be able to admit(承認)that you are,in fact,a happy person.
2.Forgiving Others
Forgiving others is a true show of humanity(人性)which also allows us to feel more at ease.When you learn to forgive,you also learn to keep a firm hold on your life.To forgive is to open the doors of personal satisfaction.Yet you simply open your mind to answer,"Do I really want to allow my anger to grow and eat me from outside?"
3.Helping Your Neighbors
When a friend seems to be suffering from a state of depression(沮喪),it's quite easy to help him or her out of the trouble.The best attitude to have in this situation is to make him or her understand that he or she is not alone.
If you come to save a friend in need,you'll feel a lot more at peace with yourself.You will feel high-spirited by knowing that someone is looking at life on the brighter side thanks to your kind words

11.Social customs and ways of behaving change all the time.Things that were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable.Just a few years ago,it was considered to be impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street.No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.
Customs also differ from country to country.Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country?Or doesn't matter?What about table manners?
The Americans and British people not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs.For example,in both America and England,people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time.Also most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seats to women,and so will most Americans.Promptness(準時) is important both in England and in America.That is,the dinner guest either arrive close to the time that has been made or calls up to explain his delay(耽誤).
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-especially if they are your guests.There is an old story about a man who gave a very formal dinner party.When the food was served,one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife.The other guests were amused or greatly surprised,but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

41..The underlined phrase make a fool of himself  in the first paragraph meansD.
A.make himself strong
B.make himself rich
C.make himself comfortable
D.cause himself to seem like a fool
42.According to the passage,the American and the BritishC.
A.don't speak the same language
B.don't have social customs in common
C.do share a lot of social customs
D.do have the exactly same social customs
43.If a dinner invitation is for six o'clock,the guest is supposed to arrive atAsix.
A.nearly or a minute later than
B.a(chǎn) quarter past
C.a(chǎn) quarter to
D.much later than
44.The last example in the passage showsB..
A.the correct way to use a knife at table
B.that it is good manners not to make your guest feel foolish or uncomfortable
C.that social customs and ways of behaving change too fast
D.that different counties have different customs
45.The best title of the passage isA.
A.Different Customs
B.Social Customs
C.Customs are Changing Fast
D.Different Countries,Different Customs.

9."Can I borrow the car,Dad?"
"Not until you finish mowing(除) the lawn."
"But I have to go to work!"
Sounds familiar?It would to an American teenager-----a job,a car,spending money,walking the dog and mowing the lawn.This isn't just the boring life of middle age but,in fact,this is the life of many American teenagers.
In the US,it is common for kids as young as 14to hold part-time jobs.They might save up their money to buy a car and,at 16,actually drive it.But this kind of independence(獨立) isn't always fun.US kids need to take care of themselves and their younger brothers and sisters so that they are ready to live alone.
The average age of a high school graduate in the US is 17.Traditionally,a US student graduates in June and moves out of his or her parents'house by September.Of course,one must be ready for this.With a relatively small amount of homework,US high school students have more time for working and learning adult responsibilities(責任).
Is it better to live this way?It's good to cook for oneself and do laundry,but US students don't study enough.While American kids are working,Chinese and Indian students are studying.
The truth is,whatever you do now,you will never feel ready to be an adult.

36.What does the conversation at the beginning of the passage suggest?A
A.American teenagers need to do housework at home.
B.American teenagers won't drive cars unless they finish their housework.
C.American teenagers must make money to support their families.
D.American teenagers wouldn't do housework if they have part-time jobs.
37.What age do US kids usually start to have part-time jobs?B
A.At the age of 13      
B.At the age of 14
C.At the age of 16   
D.At the age of 17
38.What do US high school students traditionally do after graduating in June?B
A.Try to buy their own cars       
B.Move out of their parents'house
C.Go to find a full-time job       
D.Find a part-time job
39.What does the writer want to tell through the story?D
A.It's better for kids to be independent from an early age.
B.American kids love having part-time jobs.
C.American kids have enough time to study.
D.It's not all good for American kids to be independent early.
40.Which can be the best title for the article?C
A.American kids'lives.
B.Part-time jobs and full-time jobs
C.The independence of American kids 
D.American kids'part-time jobs.
