One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled (铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 1 .

Once I heard a bald man said, “Whenever I enter a room, all I see is hair.” Once you’ve 2 what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will 3 make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different 4 _, or forget about it and 5 the tiles in your life that are not missing.

We all know people who have had a relatively 6 life, yet are essentially unhappy, while people who have suffered a great deal generally remain happy.

The first 7 is gratitude. All happy people are grateful. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 8 , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.

The second secret is awareness. We should 9 that happiness is a byproduct (副产品) of something else. The most obvious 10 are those pursuits that give our lives purpose---anything from studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are 11 to experience.

Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our 12 has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We need a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life. Whatever your philosophy is, it should 13 this truth: if you choose to find the 14 in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As for happiness itself, this 15 depends on your decision to make.

II：阅读（共两节，满分50分）

第一节阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40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

Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules, planning your next move, acting as a team member…these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.

Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating.

Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the hand-eye coordination（协调）needed in hunting.

Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.

Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.

Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.

26. Through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to ________.

A. be a team leader

27. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means that games can________.

A. describe life in an exciting way

B. turn real-life experiences into a play

C. make learning life skills more interesting

D. change people’s views of sporting events

28. According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?

A. It inspires people’s deep love for the country.

B. It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.

C. It helps the country out of natural disasters.

D. It earns the winners fame and fortune.

29. Iribarne’s goal of forming the foundation is to _______.

A. bring fun to poor kids

B. provide soccer balls for children

C. give poor kids a chance for a better life

D. appeal to soccer players to help poor kids

D. Sports increase a country’s competitiveness.

Dear Michelle,

Why can't my daughter manage her life better? She is 17 and an honor student, but she seems to be wasting her life away with a boyfriend who is holding her back.

He consumes every waking minute of her precious time and smooth-talks her as well.

His goal is to get her to agree to go to the college of his choice, not her choice, and because his grades are lower, his choice will be limited.

I feel like I want to rescue her, but she pushes me away and shuts me out. She has only brought us pride and joy; and now this! Help!

A worried mother

Dear Mother of a 17-year-old Girl,

Hmmmmm. What's the matter with kids today? Remember that song from "Bye Bye Birdie"?

Well if you do not, let me fill you in about teenagers and their life-management skills. Do not expect too much too soon because at the ripe age of 17, life-management is not within their reach, not should it be.

Life experience creates both the conditions and the skills for management, and if management went before experience, there would be little of it.

Your daughter is an honor student for good reasons. She is smart, studies with intelligence and you have given her good values.

When the time comes for her to apply for college, and she visits the ones that are specifically designed for students at the top of their grade, she will most likely break away from her boyfriend's influence.

It is rare for an honor student to change the path of their academic career for puppy love. That being said, there might be some adolescent wisdom in her behavior after all.

Perhaps she is choosing to worry you, her parents, for unconscious reasons. Being such a good girl and being a steady source of joy might have become a bit too much for her.

Let your daughter have her own private moment of 11th grade rebellion. She deserves a break from perfection.

Michelle
