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 health12. （10分）阅读理解 I had an old neighbour, a doctor named Gibbs. When Doctor Gibbs wasnt saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He hardly watered his new trees.Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants made them grow weaker. He said he had to make things difficult for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.So, instead of watering his trees every morning, hed beat them with a rolled up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees attention.Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Sometimes I walked by his house and looked at the trees Id watched him plant 25 years ago. They were tall and strong.I planted several trees myself a few years ago. Two years of caring for these trees meant they grew up weakly. Every time a cold wind blew, my trees shook. Adversity seemed to be good for Doctor Gibbs trees, they could never relax.Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray(祈祷)that their lives will be easy. But lately Ive been thinking that its time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to experience difficulties. Theres always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we wont be separated.（1）What did Doctor Gibbs do to the trees he planted? A . He let them grow quickly.B . He beat them to get their attention.C . He helped them search for water.D . He read a newspaper near them.（2）What does the word Adversity in Paragraph 5 mean? A . Difficult living conditions.B . Little water.C . Enough care or attention.D . Bad weather.（3）What does the writer learn from Doctor Gibbs? A . Elders are treasures.B . No pain, no gain.C . Two heads are better than one.D . Only those who bear( 容忍) the most become the highest.13. （5分）下面文章中有五处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。A. Never fear failureB. Live a more active lifeC. Make better plansD. Wishes towards the futureE. Find the right friendF. Be patient to everyoneLife is filled with regrets. Anyone around you will have no difficulty in telling his regrets. As we get older, we look back and wish that we had made better choices. What can we do to avoid future regrets?_If you start to do something, you need to make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last. Youll also know what you should do and what you shouldnt do. When changes happen, you can have more time to deal with them._You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed and active. You also need to be kind. Thank you can bring a smile to someones face. Learn to say sorry and dont be angry with others._A friend may make your life and her or she can break your life as well. So you need to think twice when you choose a friend. Good friends will always give you better ideas. When you get into trouble, ask others for help. That little help may get you good results._Everybody fails. Even the greatest person failed. We should not fear failure, because failure is not the end of the road. We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves._Life is good. We dont have to live in our past, but we do hope that we can plan better, live better and work better when we have the chance to do so.五、 选词填空（5分） (共1题；共5分)14. （5分）用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，每空限用一次。(每空一词)neither, badly, regret, succeed, include（1）Last weeks talent show was a great _. （2）At that time I _shouting back to my parents.
