She is here to tell us her favourite things about the city. Alice, what were your first impressions of Bristol? Well, to be honest, I didnt really take to Bristol that much in the beginning, and suddenly being in a city much smaller than London made me feel a bit unfortable. But after a couple of weeks I started to get a feel for the city, and I realized that I couldnt pare it to London. It was totally different and it had a different rhythm (节奏) to the capital. Now, I look back on my three years in Bristol with very fond memories. The only thing I dont miss is the rain. What would you say is the citys most defining (典型的) feature? Well, thats a pretty hard question to answer. Theres no one defining feature because its such a diverse (多样化的) place. But I think the thing that most defines Bristol is probably the music scene. People are defined by the music they listen to, and it affects the way they dress, where they go out and also where they live. What was your favourite part of the city? I liked a lot of different places in the city. Obviously Clifton Village is beautiful and there are lots of nice caf s and shops, but I also liked the Gloucester Road. I think it depends what youre in the mood for. Bristols best kept secrets? Aaaah, now thats easy. For pizza you have to go to Sergios, where the pizzas are huge, delicious and cheap. For art house films, head to the Watershed. They always show original films, have interesting talks and theres a really nice bar and restaurant too. For a more upmarket (高档的) dinner try the Mud Dock Caf and Restaurant. The food is good and its not too expensive. Another favourite has to be Yia Mass, a Greek Bar with very flexible opening hours and a great atmosphere. The traditional Greek plate-smashing dances add to the fun.21. We can learn from the text that Alice _. A. has been in Bristol for four years B. likes Bristol better than London C. doesnt like the rain in Bristol D. cant adjust to the life in Bristol22. Alice thinks the defining feature of Bristol is _. A. the music scene B. the lifestyle C. peoples diet D. peoples dress 23. Where can visitors to Bristol enjoy Greek dances? A. Sergios. B. Yia Mass. C. The Watershed. D. The Mud Dock Caf and Restaurant. 24. How does Alice find Bristol? A. Exciting but noisy. B. Relaxing but crowded. C. Small and peaceful. D. Diverse and interesting BWhen asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we getFor kids, happiness has a magical qualityTheir delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的)In the teenage years the concept of happiness changesSuddenly its conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularityI can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school partyIn adulthood the things that bring deep joy-love, marriage, birth-also bring responsibility and the risk of lossFor adults, happiness is plicated(复杂的).My definition fo happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we areIts easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the pany of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good healthI experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterdayFirst I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myselfThen I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I loveWhen the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the dayPsychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying workI dont think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of eitherShe did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied herWe, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing weve got to haveWeve so self-conscious about our “right” to it that its making us miserableSo we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things arent necessarily happier.Happiness isnt about what happens to us-its about how we see what happens to usIts the skillful way of finding a positive for every negativeIts not wishing for what we dont have, but enjoying what we do possess 25. As people grow older, they_.Afeel it harder to experience happinessBassociate their happiness less with othersCwill take fewer risks in pursuing happinessDtend to believe responsibility means happiness26. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?A.She cares little about her own healthB.She enjoys the freedom of travelingC. She is easily pleased by things in daily lifeD. She prefers getting pleasure from housework27. What can be informed from Paragraph 7?A. Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happinessB. Psychologistsopinion is well proved by GrandmacaseC. Grandmas happiness came from modest expectations of lifeD. Grandma often found time for social gatherings 28. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Happiness lies between the positive and the negative.B. Happy is he who is content.C. Success leads to happiness.D. Each man is the master of his own fate. CBelieve it or not, going to school is not a legal(法定的) requirement in the United States. It is a legal requirement that all kids be educated, though. When parents believe they can give their kids a better education- or have other reasons for not wanting to send their kids to a local school they may choose home schooling.However, if a kid hates school, home schooling is probably not the escape he is looking for. Home schooled students can learn just as much as they would in regular school if they and their parents work hard to cover all the subjects and experiences necessary. Parents who home school usually have higher levels of education than parents who do not. They already have the skills to educate themselves about teaching their kids.Parents who home school have to be able to put the time and skill into not just teaching, but also researching lesson plans and resources(资源). So they have to know how to find the information necessary to teach their kids. State schools often provide home-schooling parents with a curriculum(课程), books and materials and places to meet. Some state schools will point parents to other resources for brushing up on forgotten subjects. Or parents may receive continuing education at local colleges or universities.29. According to American law, _. A. all kids must receive educationB. all kids shall go to school C. home schooling parents shall receive continuing educationD. state schools must give support to home-schooling parents30. According to the text, most home-schooling parents_. A. are short of money B. dislike schools C. used to work as teachers D. are well-educated31. The underlined phrase “brushing up on” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by _.A. changing B. reviewing C. choosing D. discussing32. What can be inferred from the text? A. Home schooled kids learn fewer. B. Home schooled kids spend less time studying.C. Home schooling will replaced school education.D. Being a home-schooling parent needs a lot of effort.
