But as far back as second grade, I noticed a “darkness” about me. I didnt enjoy participating in many things.In middle school, things in my life began to get even worse. I began withdrawing from everything I once enjoyed.I was always tired.Everything was horrible. Finally, midway through eighth grade, I was told I had a chemical imbalance, diagnosed (诊断) with clinical depression, and had to take medicine. It took months for me to feel the effects of the medicine.When I began to feel happy again is when I realized that I had to take the responsibility for getting better myself, rather than relying on medicine.Aristotle said, “To live happily is an inward power of the soul，” and I believe that this quote describes what I had to do to achieve happiness. Happiness is a journey. Everyone seems to need different things to be happy.“The essentials (要素) to happiness are something to love, something to do, and something to hope for，”a quote from William Blake sums up what I believe people need to realize to be truly happy in life. People need love. I feel they need their family and their friends more than anything else in the world.People need work to do, something to make them feel they are making a difference in the world.People need to know that more good is to e in the future, so they continue to live for “now” instead of constantly worrying about the bad that could e. Love and hope are happiness.【语篇解读】作者根据自己克服抑郁症的经历总结出了幸福生活的要素。4What do we know about the author in Paragraph 2?AHe hated going to sleep because he couldnt sleep well.BHe spent months recovering from the clinical depression.CHe was diagnosed with clinical depression in Grade Seven.DHe suffered a great deal from clinical depression.答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I began withdrawing from everything I once enjoyed.

Thats what researchers found when they played recordings of people for elephants in Kenya.Scientists say this is an advanced thinking skill that other animals havent shown. It lets elephants figure out who is a threat and who isnt. The result shows that the clever animals are also studying people, said study author Karen Mcb.“Basically, they have developed this very rich knowledge of the humans that they share their habitat with，” said Mcb, a professor at the University of Sussex in England.“Memory is key. They must build up that knowledge somehow.”The study was released on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Its close to but not quite like the Dr. Seuss book, where the elephant Horton hears something that others cant hear.Mcb and colleagues went to Amboseli National Park in Kenya, where hundreds of wild elephants live among humans, sometimes ing in conflict over scarce water. The scientists used voice recordings of Maasai men, who on occasion kill elephants, and Kamba men, who are less of a threat to the elephants.As a result, the elephants reacted more defensivelyretreating and gathering in a bunchto the Maasai language recording because it was associated with the more threatening human tribe, said study coauthor Graeme Shannon.They repeated the experiment with recordings of Maasai men and women. Since women almost never spear elephants, the animals reacted less defensively to the womens voices. The same thing happened when they substituted young boys voices. “Making this kind of fine distinctions in human voice patterns is quite remarkable，” said Emory University animal cognition expert Frans de Waal, who was not part of the study.【语篇解读】研究表明野生大象能够识别男、女和男孩的声音，它们通过思维区分声音并判断谁能对他们产生威胁。8Who were the people taking part in the study?AFrans de Waal and Karen Mcb.BDr. Seuss and Graeme Shannon.CGraeme Shannon and Frans de Waal.DKaren Mcb and Graeme Shannon.答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“study author Karen Mcb”和第六段中的“study coauthor Graeme Shannon”可知，Karen Mcb和Groeme Shannon都参加了研究，故选D项。9What can wild elephants benefit from their special ability?AIdentifying and avoiding possible danger.BGrowing much faster than any other animals.CHaving a better understanding of humans.DDeveloping their language skills.答案与解析：A推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Scientists say this is an advanced thinking skill that other animals havent shown.
