When I was a five year old boy, I was badly ill and became disabled. I grew up knowing I was different. The first time I felt hurt and left out was in Grade Five. The other fourth and fifth graders played together in gym class, while I was put in the second grade gym class. Mom called the school to say it was unfair, but the school scolded me for complaining too much.In the 1980s, when my mom was giving birth to my sister, she died. My dad became even more distant. I was very sad and began drinking wine to ease the pain.Dad got remarried in 1985. Everyone went to his wedding except me. He told me to stay at home and watch the house. When my high school bail came around, I wanted to go out but wasnt allowed. When I graduated, my dad and step-mom werent willing to hold a party for me. They put me into a group home after graduation.However, my life changed when I became a local leader of the National Self-advocacy(自我辩护) Group. At first, I thought the group wasnt for me until I found out it was all about empowerment(授权) ! My goal is to be the voice for people who havent been heard and to help them. Many families, like mine, dont believe their disabled family members have a voice of their own.Looking back over my 16 years of leadership experience, Im proud that Ive helped so many disabled people.

Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success dont bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which cant be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value(重视) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.Here are a few ways to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we dont enjoy the present. You should enjoy lifes simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.Now maybe you know how to find happiness!（1）The underlined word “wealthy” means “_” in the article.A . pleasedB . healthyC . excitedD . rich（2）Some people who hold a high position in the government think they can _.A . get money and something they cant buy with moneyB . do what they want to do at any timeC . enjoy health which makes them work hardD . take an active part in all kinds of activities every day（3）The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people _.A . think about getting a good jobB . think of presents they dont likeC . often spend time with close friendsD . often spend time on entering the college（4）Many people find it happy to _.A . remember the old days and troublesB . do some meaningful things for othersC . go shopping to buy some foodD . make much money and little success（5）The passage mainly tells us _.A . how to find happinessB . how to save happinessC . to do something good for othersD . to value our beliefs or health4. （8分）阅读理解Wikipedias most-edited listDo you use Wikipedia(维基百科) to find information about people, places, things and events?

The third most-edited page was related(与有关)to Hillary Clinton, and the election itself took the fourth spot.Pages about movies, sports, world events, natural disasters(灾难), musicians and artists all appeared in the top 25 most-edited list. Vincent Van Goghs page received 3,551 edits during the year.
