Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions 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 fail to 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 several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this such as swimming, dancing, or playing a sport. 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 an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.41. The best title of the passage is _.A. Money Makes You HappyB. The Secrets of HappinessC. Ideas for helping Other People to Be Happy D. Good Friends Make You Happy42. The second paragraph tells us that _.A. the more friends you have, the happier you will beB. we shouldnt think about our futureC. happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life.D. some people fail to live a happy life43. The writer thinks that _.A. everyone knows how to live a happier life B. its wrong to spend time on workC. hobbies take up too much timeD. doing good things for someone can make you happier44. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage? A. Reading a good book B. Traveling to a foreign country C. Playing a sport D. Spending time with close friends2019-2020年高三上学期第三次考试英语试题 含答案In the early nineteen fifties, researchers found that people scored lower on intelligence tests if they spoke more than one language. Research in the sixties found the opposite. So which is it?Researchers presented their newest studies last month at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The latest evidence shows that being bilingual(双语的)does not necessarily make people smarter. But researcher Ellen Bialystock says it probably does make you better at certain skills. She says bilingual people are often better at controlling their attentiona function called the executive(执行的)control system.Ms Bialystock is a psychology professor at York University in Toronto, Canada. She says the best method to measure the executive control system is called the Stroop Test. A person is shown words in different colors. The person has to ignore the word but say the color. The problem is that the words are all names of colors.Her work shows that bilingual people continually practice this function. They have to, because both languages are active in their brain at the same time. They need to limit one to be able to speak in the other.This mental exercise might help in other ways, too. Researchers say bilingual children are better able to separate a word from its meaning, and more likely to have friends from different cultures. Bilingual adults are often four to five years later than others in developing dementia or Alzheimers disease.Foreign language study has increased in the United States. But linguist Alison Mackey at Georgetown University points out that English-speaking countries are still far behind the rest of the world. In England, like in the United States, bilingualism is seen as something special and unique and something to be mented on and perhaps work towards, while in many other parts of the world being bilingual is just seen as a natural part of life.45. Being bilingual can make people . A. smarter than othersB. better at all skillsC. better at controlling their attention D. higher in intelligence46. Bilingual children are more likely to . A. be healthier than othersB. make more friends from different countriesC. develop dementia or Alzheimers diseaseD. recognize a word from its meaning47. The last paragraph suggests that . A. bilingualism is just seen as a natural part of life in the United StatesB. foreign language study needs improving in English-speaking countriesC. bilingualism is seen as something special and unique all over the worldD. English-speaking countries do better than others in foreign language study48. The text is most probably a . A. science fiction story B. newspaper adC. book reviewD. science news reportC.Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.What to ExpectThe host will provide acmodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Acmodation ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is mercial and not residential(居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger acmodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.Meal Plans Available Continental Breakfast Breakfast and Dinner Breakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIts important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your acmodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal（谷物类食品）, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your hosts permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.Self-Catering Acmodation in Private HomesAcmodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of acmodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.49. The passage is probably written forA. host willing to receive foreign studentsB. foreigners hoping to build British cultureC. travellers planning to visit families in LondonD. English learners applying to like in English homes50. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. Zone 4 is more crowded than Zone 2.B. The business centre of London is in Zone 1.C.

Dogs, which serve man in all three capacities, are found in various species in all countries of the world.

In the West Indies the little donkey, strong and sure-footed, carrying heavy loads even in mountainous places, is a familiar sight.Trained and tamed for many generations, domestic animals(牲畜)are not accustomed to roaming(到处走动)in search of food and shelter. They look to their masters to provide for their needs, and as long as these are supplied, they are content to do what their masters require.All domestic animals need proper food. It must be suitable for them, sufficient in quantity, fresh and clean. Some people feed a pet dog or cat on odds and ends of table scraps(剩饭), and then wonder why the animal seems tired and dull. The quantity of food depends on the size of the animal and the amount of exercise it takes. Overfeeding is as bad as underfeeding. Containers for food and water must be washed regularly if the animal is to maintain good health.Even being well cared for animals may sometimes fall ill. If this happens, the wise master seeks the best advice he can get. All sorts of medicines and treatments are available for sick animals, and in some countries organizations exist to provide them free or at a cheap price.
