【題目】Teenagers at one German school are learning how to achieve happiness alongside other traditional subjects such as math and languages. The class sit in a circle with their eyes shut and they count from one to ten: someone starts, the next voice comes from the far right, a third from the other side.

The aim of the game is to listen for an opportunity to shout out the number without clashing (沖突) with another voice or leaving a pause. On the first try, most of the young Germans try to be first, while a few are too shy to join in, but by the fifth time round, they develop a rhythm (節(jié)奏).The message: give other people space but also confidently claim your own. This is a requirement for social well-being.

The Willy Hellpach School in Heidelberg is the first in the nation to develop a happiness course.

It is intended for students preparing for university entrance exams.

“The course isn’t there to make you happy,” Ernst Fritz-Schubert, the school principal, warned pupils, “but rather to help you discover the ways to become happy.”

Cooking a meal together is one of the class exercises. Improving body language under the guidance of two professional actresses is another.

The course is taught for three periods a week. Although it’s the happy subject, the pupils themselves insist it is no laughing matter.

“In the first period, we had to each say something positive about another member of the class and about ourselves. No laughing at people,” said Fanny, 17.

Research by the school shows it is not the first to start happiness classes: they also exist at some US universities, mainly based on positive thinking, using findings from studies of depression.

【1】What’s the writing purpose of this passage?

A. To describe all the traditional courses.

B. To introduce the happiness course.

C. To develop the readers’ interest in happiness.

D. To help students struggle against being sad.

【2】According to the passage, the happiness course is ________.

A. created by the Willy Hellpach School

B. to make all the students happy all the time

C. required to be taken by the first year students

D. to help students discover the way to happiness

【3】It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. the students’ self-respect can also improve happiness

B. the students just took the course as a laughing matter

C. the students can certainly become happy after the course

D. the students waste time learning something without value

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】A

【解析】

What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More Respect

As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition(過渡) into adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain manners are often forgotten and other adult traits (特征) are not yet accepted as a way of life. 【1】 By doing the following things, you will earn more respect.

Contribute to the household

At the very least, clean up after yourself. As a teenager, you are old enough to clean up after yourself. When you make a mess, clean it up. 【2】 All chores (零星工作) that you do help to reduce the load of the person who did them before. Now that you’re old enough and capable, why shouldn’t you contribute to the household? 【3】

Be responsible

【4】 Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework , or more involved chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities on time. When adults know that they can rely on you, their trust and respect for you will increase.

Solve more of your own problem without asking for help

Instead of taking the easy approach and asking for help, make an effort to solve your problems on your own first. The “easy way” is only easy for you, but it is an extra task for the person from whom you are seeking help. 【5】 Depending on the problem, 15 minutes of effort is usually a good guideline. When you become a good problem solver, you increase your value to the community.

A. Everyone has certain responsibilities.

B. It will make your life more pleasant.

C. The people doing the chores before will greatly appreciate the help.

D. This includes, but is not limited to, your dishes and your room.

E. By being aware of these manners and traits, you can manage them sooner.

F. Seek help only after you have made an honest effort to solve your own problems.

G. When speaking to a group, speak loud enough.

【題目】When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital.

However, I soon discovered that one big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.

Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娛樂活動). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising — and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.

Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十幾歲) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.

【1】What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?

A. Staying on the farm.

B. Leaving home for the city.

C. Moving to the countryside.

D. Running away from the school.

【2】Which of the following is true about the writer?

A. He lives in the city now.

B. He is in good health.

C. He prefers driving a car.

D. He is very old now.

【3】In the passage, the writer tries to ________.

A. persuade the reader to live in the city

B. describe his life in the countryside

C. show an interest in the outside world

D. express his opinions about way of life

【4】How is the passage mainly developed?

A. By inferring.B. By listing examples.

C. By comparing.D. By discussing.

I’m tired and covered in dust. I’ve been digging all day and I’ll be doing the same tomorrow. Sound awful, doesn’t it ? But I’ve never had so many fun in my life. As an archaeology student, I have already knew something about the Qin Tomb and the terracotta warriors. Most Chinese children can tell you Qin Shihuang was the emperor first unified China. He was a brilliant ruler, and he was also a cruel man who killed thousands of people. When he became the king of the state, he immediately ordered workers to construct an underground tomb for him, which is said to contain great treasures. But, the actual entrance to the tomb has ever been found, nor has the tomb been opened. There are ancient descriptions of crossbows hiding at the tomb’s entrance. It’s said that if everyone steps across the entrance, the crossbows will fire.
