八、阅读判断正误。
Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting(持续的) happiness. Aristotle said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are some pieces of advice to help you be happier.
Enjoying simple things in life is meaningful. People often spend so much time thinking about the future — like getting into college or getting a good job — that they forget to enjoy the present(现在). You should have fun doing simple things, such as reading an interesting book or spending time with close friends. People having several close friends often live better.
Another way to live a happy life is to be active(活跃的) and have hobbies. Many people experience this by dancing or playing sports. You can forget about your problems and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for the old people, or simply help with housework.
( )61. People can be happier all the time if they get more money or good grades in their work.
( )62. The underlined sentence is to explain the meaning of happiness.
( )63. In the writer’s opinion, enjoying today’s life is more important than looking forward to the future.
( )64. Playing sports can help bring people happiness.
( )65. The three pieces of advice show us that happiness comes from what we give to others.

After having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, we have most friends at the age of 26，a new study has said recently.
The study about friendship shows that our social circle gets to the top at 26 years and 7 months. At that time, we usually have five close friends. Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months while men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months. The study, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of grown-ups meet their closest friends when at school. But about a fifth say they meet them at work.
Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play an important role in building new friendship. The study points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends on Facebook. However, 18 to 24-year-olds make 12 and 35 to 44-year-olds make just 4.
Forever Friends’ relationship coach Sam Owen says, “It is not surprising that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As grown-ups, we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.”
Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% to be away from childhood friends.
With growing pressure on friendship these days, it's important to make time for our friendship.
( )71. Women will get the most friends_________ in the comparison with men.
A. at the same age B. later C. earlier
( )72. How many friends can a 20-year-old college student make on Facebook?
A.4. B.12. C.18
( )73. The coach Sam tries to tell the readers_________ .
A. how important making friends is B. friendship is not easy to keep
C. Small things at school help friendship grow
( )74.Which change causes people to lose the most friends?
A. Moving to another place B. Growing apart C. Having kids
( )75.Which is true according to the passage?
A. It’s difficult to make friends online.
B. Women have more close friends than men.
C. People meet their closest friends more easily when at school than at work.

Body image-- the way people feel about what they look like-- is a big issue (问题) for many young people today. According to two different studies, more than half of the teenage girls in the United States think they not 1 with their bodies and should eat less to be in good shape, and almost one in five teenage boys are worried about their bodies and their weight. And people always care about 2 opinions on them.
But why do people begin to care about their body image? Many people think it’s the media that 3 the issue. Turn on the TV or open a magazine or newspaper, and you’ll 4 see beautiful models, handsome actors and fit sports stars.
Many young people feel 5 to look like these “perfect” people. In the United States, the average woman is 163 centimeters tall and weighs 64 kilograms. The average model is 180 centimeters tall and weighs 53 kilograms. When young people don’t match up to these standards, some may stop eating properly 6 weight. Others lose so much confidence that they start to avoid activities at school.
Body image issues do not 7 as we get older, either. In the United Kingdom, women over 50 spend more money on cosmetics (化妆品). Older men spend large amounts of money 8 to avoid hair loss.

He went around the village with a basket and asked each person to give him some of their wisdom（智慧）.The people laughed at Anansi. 2 Each person put a bit in his basket and wished him good luck.
Soon his basket was full, but Anansi was worried that his neighbors might be jealous（嫉妒）of his wisdom and take it from him. 3 When he had tied the basket to the front part of his body, he tried to climb the tree, but it was too difficult. He tried again and again without success.
Then his youngest son walked by. “What are you doing，Father?” his son asked, “Why don’t you carry the basket on your back instead?”
Anansi put the basket on his back and climbed the tree easily. 4 “I walked all over the village and collected so much wisdom that I am the wisest spider ever, but my baby son is still wiser than me. Take back your wisdom!” he said. 5 And that’s how wisdom went all over the world.

Several months ago, a couple left their job and sold everything in their home to travel around the world with their 13-year-old daughter. And the girl left school to travel with her parents. Will you stop studying to travel like the girl? Here are some students’ opinions.
Wang Le, 14, from Zhejiang:
I think it is a really good way to practice our communication skills by speaking English. If we travel with our parents around the world, we have to talk to others, especially in English. And there are not so many chances for that at school. So I think we should travel like them.
Zhang Qiwen, 14, from Jiangsu:
I will travel with my parents. Why do we study? We go to school to learn more about the world. If we have a better way to learn about it, why don’t we do it? We can see lots of amazing things when we travel around the world with our parents. Having classes at school is boring and useless. I like traveling better.
Zhang Yuxi, 15, from Shanghai:
It is too dangerous to stop studying to travel. Our parents can’t make sure that they know everything. There are lots of dangers in a completely strange environment. We can’t take the risk of putting ourselves in danger. If we do, we’ll be really foolish.
Wang Quan, 14, from Beijing:
I think we have enough time to study at school as well as do some traveling. We need to study at school because it makes sure that we won’t fall behind our peers (同龄人). And we can also travel in the summer or winter holidays. It helps us to broaden our horizon(拓宽视野) and learn things not in books. But I don’t think it is a good idea to stop studying to travel.
Will you stop studying to travel?


Different opinions
Wang Le
The school can’t 1 to us to practice communicating in English.
Zhang Qiwen
Traveling is a better way to learn more about the world.
Traveling is much 2 than having class at school.
Zhang Yuxi
3 is the most important. We can’t put ourselves in danger.
Wang Quan
Both studying and traveling are 4 .
We need to study at school.
We can travel in winter or summer holidays.
According to the passage, we can know that Wang Le and Zhang Qiwen 5 stop studying to travel, while ZhangYuxi and Wang Quan have different opinions.
