【題目】Have you ever noticed that the more you have the more you want? Let’s face it. Thinking our life is good enough doesn’t come naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction. Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.

Focus on what you are thankful for. Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be. Focus on what you are thankful for. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.

When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our well-being. Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.

When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life we are likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position. Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.

When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you. Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you. Stay present and focus on the task you’re undertaking at the moment. Don’t let the life pass you by because you’re always on the go and distracted by ambition.

Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment and it will become more natural.

【1】How can we live with contentment?

A. To change our lifestyle.

B. To have a motivation in life.

C. To give less attention to what we are grateful for.

D. To realize the difference between needs and desires.

【2】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A. Make wise decisions. B. Know the present situation

C. Let go of regrets. D. Remember the past.

【3】The underlined word “elide”(in Paragraph 5) probably means “__”.

A. enjoy B. change C. create D. neglect

【4】What should you do to put yourself in a good mood?

A. Make time for simple pleasures. B. Learn from successful people.

C. Focus on your future goals. D. Create chance to learn more.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】D

【4】A

【解析】試題分析：本篇閱讀主要講欲望對(duì)人的影響，以及怎樣擺脫不利影響，學(xué)會(huì)滿足，快樂(lè)生活。

【1】D細(xì)節(jié)推理題。題干問(wèn)：我們?cè)鯓訉?duì)待滿足？根據(jù)Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction.可知只有分清需要和欲望的區(qū)別，我們才能滿足。故選D.

【2】C主旨大意題。When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our well-being可知遺憾的壞影響。下文又反復(fù)提到regrets, What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.告訴我們要放手遺憾。故選C.

【3】D猜測(cè)詞義題。When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you.句意為：當(dāng)你要實(shí)現(xiàn)大抱負(fù)和人生目標(biāo)時(shí)，要忽略身邊的壓力。此處elide為“忽略”。故選D.

【4】A推理判斷題。題干問(wèn)怎樣有好心情，使自己快樂(lè)。B項(xiàng)為向成功人士學(xué)習(xí)；C項(xiàng)為實(shí)現(xiàn)將來(lái)目標(biāo)；D項(xiàng)為創(chuàng)造機(jī)會(huì)多學(xué)習(xí)都不合題意。Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.可知要尋找快樂(lè)，故選A.

【題目】In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five fays off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便車).

I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.

Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the kindness I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.

After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

Many people like eating junk foods, because they thought they are delicious. But in fact, these foods are not healthy. That we need most is a balanced diet. Eating a balanced diet mean choosing a wide variety of foods from all the food groups. A balanced diet provides different kinds of nutrition(營(yíng)養(yǎng)) with our body. We need a balanced diet to keep healthy. Therefore, many people still have unhealthy eating habits, that will do harm to their health. I think is necessary for us to have three meals a day properly.

All in all, it’s importantly for us to keep a balanced diet.

【題目】Satellites play big roles in modern life. Some look downward to monitor environmental conditions on Earth.Others look outward in search of major solar flares(耀斑) that can trouble the transmission(傳送) of electrical power to homes and businesses. Some spy on our enemies. Others relay communications around the globe. But all of these million-dollar wonders of technology can be knocked out by a collision with space junk ---debris (碎片 )from satellites and other earthly technology orbiting high above the planet. Now,a teen from Jordan has designed a satellite to chase down space junk , collect it and then deal with it.

Even bits of space junk as small as dots of paint pose a threat , says Dana. That's because this debris orbits our planet at speeds up to some 28,200 kilometers per hour. Such high speed explains why tiny paint dots have damaged the windshields of space shuttles so badly that they needed to be replaced.

Researchers have come up with many ideas for getting rid of space junk. Some have suggested vaporizing(蒸發(fā)) small bits with lasers. Others have proposed launching satellites to collect the debris. Dana's design falls into this category.

Here's how hers would work : A radar system aboard the satellite would scan and find a piece of space junk.Then,thrusters(推進(jìn)器)would change the satellite's orbit so that it could chase down the errant object. As the satellite closed in on its prey, cameras would keep it on target.

At the last minute,a door that leads to a container would open. This container needs to be strong so that it doesn't break apart when the satellite swallows the space junk,Dana explains. Finally,when the trash container was full,it would be lowered toward the earth on a kilometer-long cable and its contents released into the upper atmosphere. There, the space junk would harmlessly burn up just like a meteor (流星) does. Meanwhile, her satellite would roll the container back up so that it could collect more trash.

【1】What is focused on in the first paragraph?

A. The types of satellites being categorized into.

B. The tracks of satellites orbiting above the planet.

C. The sources of space junk coming from.

D. The danger that satellites face in space.

【2】Why can small pieces of space junk threaten satellites?

A. They travel at a very high speed.

B. They are difficult to track by satellites.

C. They can blow up into millions of pieces.

D. They are as soft as a ball in the air.

【3】The underlined words "the errant object" refer to_____.

A. the radar system that scans space junk

B. the space junk that travels in disorder

C. the satellite that doesn't keep its track

D. the camera that can't keep space junk on target

【4】According to the Dana's design, space junk in her satellite___________.

A. will be swallowed and stored in its trash bin

B. will be broken apart in the trash container

C. will be destroyed by heat in the upper atmosphere

D. will be transported to the earth through a cable
