On the first try, 39 of the young Germans try to be first, while a few are too shy to join in. But by the fifth 40 , they develop a rhythm (节奏) . The message gives other people space but also claims your own. This is a requirement for social well-being.Unlike schools in other nations, German schools do not usually have school sports teams or seek to build school spirit. Many teens admit they are 41 and confused, but school is not usually the place to find relief.The Willy Hellpach School in Heidelberg is the first in the nation to develop a happiness 42 It is 43 for 17-19years old students to prepare for university entrance exams. The course isnt there to make you happy, Ernst Fritz-Schubert, the school principal, warned pupils, 44 rather to help you discover the ways to bee happy. Cooking a meal together will be one of the class 45 , along with improving body language under the 46 of two professional actresses.The course is taught for three periods a week. Despite the happy subject, the pupils themselves insist it is no laughing matter.In the first period, we had to each say something 47 about another member of the class and about ourselves. No laughing at people or teasing, said Fanny, 17.The message is that self-esteem (自尊) improves 48 too.Research by the school shows it is not the first to start happiness classes and they also exist at some US universities, but are mainly based on positive thinking, using 49 from studies of depression.That would be too one-sided for us. We want to show how decent (好的) food or exercise can help too, the principal said.35. A. subjects B. objects C. customs D. habits36. A. sweet B. next C. last D. loud37.

He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and - WHUMP! - it hit the Jaguars shiny black side door! SCREECH . ! ! ! ! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?! Thats my new Jaguar, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?Please, mister, please.Im sorry! I didnt know what else to do! begged the youngster. I threw the brick because no one else would stop! tears were streaming down the boys face as he pointed around the parked car. Its my brother, mister, he said. He rolled off the curb (路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I cant lift him up. Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman, Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? Hes hurt and hes too heavy for me. Moved by the words, the young businessman lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.It was a long walk back to the black, shining, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE - a long and slow walk.

Discovery Trips in the Blue MountainsD. Interesting Trips in the East of the USACMy favorite English teacher could draw humor out of the driest material. It wasnt forced on us either. He took Samuel Johnsons dictionary, Addisons essays, and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them hilarious, even at eight oclock in the morning. The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, I couldnt believe that I hadnt seen the humor. The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with allusions (典故) and irony (反讽) and hilarious moments. I learned more from him than from any other teacher.My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be funny. Many others did not. He assigned journals over a six week period, to be written every day. At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. Our teacher announced that we would be grading each others journals. Mine was passed to Joe, that class clown, who always behaved in a funny or silly way. He saw it fit to make joke of and said, This writing isnt fit to line (衬垫) the bottom of a birdcage. Our teacher laughed at that funny remark. It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since.So what makes the difference? Humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. It can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing, or it can tear them apart. It is true that humor is either productive or counter-productive and self-defeating.56. The passage mainly discusses _.A. teaching B. literatureC. humor D. knowledge57. The underlined word hilarious in Paragraph 1 probably means _.A. funny B. tiringC. inspiring D. brilliant58. The English teacher the writer disliked most _.A. was not able to make students laughB. hurt his students feelingsC. didnt let his students do the gradingD. had no sense of humorDTHE BRONTE FAMILYYorkshire, England was the setting for two great novels of the 19th century. One of them is Jane Eyre written by Charlotte Bronte.The Bronte family had three girls and a boy. Charlotte was born in 1816, Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. The ehildren wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls took positions as teachers or taught ehildren in their homes. The girls were determined to earn money for Branwells sart education.As children, the girls had all written many stories. Charlotte alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for ine. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty, Anne and Emily found a publisher (出版商), but there was no interest shown in Charlottes book. ( It was not published until 1859. ) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it. It was accepted at once; thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.Jane Eyre was immediately successful; the other two, however, did not do so well. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book, and Anne died in 1849.Charlotte published Shirley in 1849, and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis (肺结核) as her sisters had.59. What did the Bronte sisters want to do for Branwell Bronte?A. Help him write stories.B. Help him get trained in art.C. Teach him how to draw well.D. Teach him how to educate himself.60. We know from the text thatA. Jane Eyre was published in 1847B. Charlotte Bronte wrote 22 books in allC. the Bronte sisters received good educationD. the father helped his daughters with their writing61.
