第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分)

A

How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.

Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What's more, life is always giving new things to the child--things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not to do something, or being punished for what he has done.

When a young man starts to make his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of troubles and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.

56. According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that _______.

A. life for a child is fairly easy   B. a child is always loved whatever he does

C. a child must do something in return for what he gets  D. only children are interested in life

57. The main idea of the passage is that ____________.

A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains

B. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life

C. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one's life

D. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard

58. The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss _________.

A. examples of successful young men         B. how to build up one's position in society

C. what to do when one has problems in life    D. joys and pains of old people

B

Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.

In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, you friends will help you; when you work hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的) door: when it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

59. What kind of people can enjoy happiness according the passage?

A. Only those who have cars.            B. Only those who have their own happiness.

C. Only those who have a lot of money.       D. Only those who have big houses.

60. When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will _______.

A. play jokes on you   B. laugh at you   C. quarrel with you     D. help you up

61. What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?

A. Congratulations!   B. Oh, so do I.    C. Good luck!        D. It's just so-so.

62. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.

B. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.

C. Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.

D. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.

63. Which of the following is this passage about?

A. Bad luck.     B. Happiness.    C. Good luck.       D. Life

Steve Jobs was a college dropout.He was adopted by a machinist and his wife, an accountant.

Mr.Jobs then formed his own company, called NeXT Computer.He rejoined Apple in 1997 after it bought NeXT.He helped remake Apple from a business that was in bad shape then to one of the most valuable companies in the world today.However, Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple's chief executive in August because of his health.He died a day after the company released a new iPhone version that met with limited excitement.Steve left behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.

President Obama said in a statement: by building one of the planet's most successful companies from his garage, Steve Jobs exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity (独创性的).By making computers personal and putting the Internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive (有直觉力的) and fun.

Why do people drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs? What’s to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive (自我毁灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them.

According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn’t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it’s having will power that really gets you into trouble.

Think back to the time you took your very first sip (啜饮) of beer. Disgusting, wasn’t it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette — it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (诱惑) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.

Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.

These bad habits aren’t self-control failures — far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.

72. What do most people think causes bad behavior?

A. Not having enough will power.     B. Being forced by others.

C. Enjoying their first experiences.       D. Following the examples of their friends.

73. The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ____.

A. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagers

B. will power helps develop bad habits sometimes

C. self-control should be developed when one is young

D. everyone can be challenged by different temptations

74. In the last paragraph, the author stresses that ____.

A. without self-control, no one can succeed

B. bad habits don’t always lead to bad results

C. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior

D. applying self-control correctly is important

75. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. My First Sip of Beer      B. Do You Have Will Power ?

C. Dark Side of Self-control     D. Will Power Benefits Us
