阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Around me, I find people of my age doing drugs, going to parties ----- just to “fit in”, just to gain attention. We’re so 41 being selfish, comparing ourselves to others, 42 unrealistic goals for ourselves, wanting to look prettier or lose more 43 , making more money, and being more popular.

But then I think, is that 44 what life’s all about? There are 45 kids out there, being abused, murdered, orphaned, and hungry. And here we are all 46 about how tough our lives are.

Most of us self-harm and are always depressed. Why do we always try to 47 away from our problems, 48 just face them? I mean this is life! You cannot get away from it, and you can definitely not 49 it.

All we can do is 50 what life gives us, and face our problems, face our difficulties, and face our frustrations. And maybe they’ll 51 your best friends, your companions. They’ll make you stronger, they’ll help you face reality and they’ll teach you to 52 the little things in life.

53 we always fail to look at the brighter side of things, we always fail to find happiness in little things. There are so many beautiful things 54 us that we seldom notice. Maybe that is 55 people don’t find happiness; we keep looking for it in the 56 places------ money, fame.

When we really go to “look” for happiness, what we all fail to 57 is that happiness isn’t really something that we can “find”. It’s not a destination; it’s not something you find along the road of life; it’s a(n) 58 , a feeling------ you can be happy wherever and whenever, only if you CHOOSE to be. Happiness is something within you, waiting to be found, waiting to 59 you company, waiting to help you 60 from this harsh reality.

第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。

A

It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Our children were upstairs unpacking, and I was looking out of the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. My parents lived nearby, and Dad had visited us several times already. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him.

He looked up, smiling. “I’m making you a surprise.” Knowing my father, I thought it could be just about anything. A self-employed jobber, he was always building things out of odds and ends. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us.

Today, however, Dad would say no more, and caught ups in the busyness of our new life, I eventually forgot about his surprise.

Until one gloomy day the following March when I glanced out of the window. Any yet… I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番红花), throughout the front lawn. Lavender, blue, yellow and my favorite pink ---- little faces moved up and down in the cold wind.

Dad! I smiled, remembering the things he had secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?

My father’s crocuses bloomed each spring for the next four or five seasons, bringing the same assurance every time they arrived: hard times was almost over. Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon.

Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms. The next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses. I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did.

He died suddenly one October day. My family was in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith. I missed him terribly.

Four years passed, and on a dismal spring afternoon I was driving back when I found myself feeling depressed. “You’ve got the winter depression again and you get them every year.” I told myself.

It was Dad’s birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual --- my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived his faith. Once I saw him give his coat to a homeless man.

Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at t
