Happiness is an abstract(抽象的)concept. When one thinks of a typically happy person, smiling, laughing and cheering are what usually come to mind. However, if people stop smiling or laughing, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are unhappy. Happiness has many different levels, and it is difficult to place the word in one type.

Many people believe as people grow older, they will feel more happiness. However, I just find they are not always so. When my twelve-year-old sister was asked what made her happy, she initially told me that sleeping made her happy, and then she looked at me for a reaction. When I had none, she changed her answer to food, then to fashion, and then finally to family. Each time she glanced at me, she looked for affirmation(肯定)that she had given a "right answer".

My younger cousin, who is even younger than my sister, gave me an answer that surprised me. It wasn't eating candy or watching TV that made her happy: it was love. Considering the clear differences between my sister and cousin in their answers, I came to see that age didn't always largely contribute to happiness.

When I asked my grandmother what brought her happiness, she immediately answered "my family" without hesitation. This is something I expected, as my grandma is always a family-centered person. This is also consistent(一致的)with her culture, being from Italy and growing up during the 50s, when family values were at its highest point in society.

Asking myself this question, I think carefully about my answers. Sure, my family, friends and pets make me happy, but so do reading, writing and watching movies. This is why I have no answer to my own question.

There is no one single thing that makes me the happiest, because like everybody, my mood depends on many factors. Happiness depends on external factors as well as one's personality and age. This is why I have come to the conclusion that the journey of happiness cannot truly be defined, and that there isn't one thing above all that makes everyone the happiest.

19. What do we know about happiness from Paragraph 1?

A. It is valued by nearly all people.

B. It is easy to describe it with words.

C. Its highest level is often expressed with laughing.

D. It may have nothing to do with one's expressions.

20. Comparing her sister's and cousin's answers, the author realized that          .

A. happiness comes from very small things     B. happiness doesn’t always depend on age

C. little kids can sometimes give us inspiration  D. some abstract things can make people happier

21. What conclusion does the author draw about happiness?

A. Extreme happiness is hard to achieve.

B. Happiness is determined by many factors.

C. The happiest people are often open-minded.

D. One's family gives him the most happiness.

C

If you happened to be at the recent National Senior Games in Albuquerque last June, it's likely that you would have found an extremely enthusiastic group of 19 people, all wearing bright yellow T-shirts that read "Blossom at 85" on one side and "Gammy's Groupies" on the other. "That's my team," says Andrea Harrison, speaking about the family and friends there to cheer her on. Harrison is certainly blossoming at 85-so much so that she walked away with gold in the 800 meters with a time of 6'24" and silver in the 5K, finishing in 43'1".

"People often tell me that they’re inspired by my running and they are encouraged to do more to stay active because of it." Harrison says. "I feel like this is my job and my purpose now, to get people moving, no matter what their ages are."

She even has a presentation she gives at community centers and schools, centering on how benefi-cial running and exercise can be on emotional heath as well as physical health. Calling it "Motion Over Disturbance," she says it emphasizes how the motion of movement takes away the disturbance in your head, clearing away all those little worries and bothers of everyday life.

Harrison also likes to tell her audiences that she's a late bloomer when it comes to running. She started when she was 50 years old, and only because of her sons, then a junior in high school, wanted to be on a track team. So the two of them ran around the parking lot of the school.

Now running 11 miles a week, she calms the "excitement" in her mind by spending her time praying for family members as she runs, particularly for her twin sister who has dementia(痴呆). But of course she also includes her 6 children, 14 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren.

There are often strangers approaching her after races to congratulate her on a win-she jokes that there "aren't too many old ladies" for competition. "They say, 'If you can run like this, I should be running,'", she says. "And I say, 'Well, go ahead. What are you waiting for?'"

22. What is Harrison's job in her own opinion?

A. Being a member of a track team.             B. Winning gold and silver medals.

C. Encouraging people to run regardless of ages.   D. Giving lectures on the benefits of exercise.

23. Which of the following can replace the underlined part "bloomer" in Paragraph 4?

A. Competitor.      B. Runner.      C. Instructor.      D. Achiever.

24. What is Harrison always doing while running?

A. Listening to some music.      B. Missing her family members.

C. Praying to calm down.        D. Waiting for the strangers.

25. What can be inferred from the whole text?

A. It's never too late to learn.       B. All that glitters is not gold.

C. To strike while iron is hot.       D. Well begun is half done.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Passage 1

We think that life in Chinese high school is an adventure in which we have to survive mountains of homework and all kinds of exams. Yet would it be 51.          (surprise)if I tell you that school life in the US is almost as stressful and demanding as it is in China?

In US high school, everything 52.          (record)into your studying document，including your grades on quizzes，tests and final examinations. Failing 53.           (turn)in your homework on time will directly affect your grade for a certain course. Perhaps contrary to 54.          we used to think of the US high school students, they pay more attention to their academic performance to try to get into 55.          famous university. Otherwise, they will be disappointed after graduation from high school.

                                          Passage 2

How people get dressed also changes over time. Take China 56.          example. In the 1960s and 1970s, there were practically two or three colors 57.          people wore-blue, green and gray. The styles of the clothes were also very dull. In the 1980s young people would only wear what was in fashion. Recently, we 58.          (come)to understand that the way you dress 59.          (you)is a reflection of your occupation, your background and your personality. So we see different people wear different clothes according to occasions, their likes and 60.          (feel).
