第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A, B, C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such an attractive, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.

Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more long-lasting emotion. Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.

I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to exciting parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir(回忆录) after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children, and long-time loneliness.

The way people hold on to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually decreases their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.

As a result, many people avoid the very efforts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, charitable work and self-improvement.

21. According to the passage, “fun activities” ____________.

A. are the things we do before we find happiness

B. may help us relax and forget our problems sometimes

C. will lead us to the true happiness

D. could provide long-last positive effects

22. In the author’s opinion, those Hollywood stars ____________.

A. possess happiness because they are rich and famous

B. experience almost all kinds of happy things

C. tell us happiness isn’t equal to fun using their own stories

D. have to suffer a lot before they become successful

23. It is difficult for people to find real happiness because ____________.

A. they believe happiness is the fun life without pain

B. they find pain equals unhappiness

C. they fear to lose what they already have in life

D. They are afraid all their efforts were in vain

24. The main purpose of the text is to ____________.

A. describe the difference between happiness and fun

B. show the true meaning of happiness

C. encourage people to pursue fun activities

D. advise people to find their real life

We all know how important human life is—it’s priceless. It doesn’t matter where you are from or what the color of your skins is—all people are human beings. Firstly, we can tell you that the lives of your relatives could depend on your ability to give first aid. If you think highly of human’s life, this website is for you! Here you can find information about first aid.

The very first thing that you should do when you see an accident is to evaluate the situation and prevent further dangerous incidents. First of all, you have to recognize what has happened and what the dangers to rescuers and victims are. Think about how to take care of the victims.

Helping usually takes place in very difficult conditions and injuries can be very bad. Therefore, you cannot be too afraid of making mistakes to help. Sometimes you have to face the fact that regardless of your actions and your efforts the victim’s condition might not improve—he or she could even die. In some cases even professional medical aid may not succeed. If you have done everything you think you s
