Many people experience dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. 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.

Most people grew their own vegetables and fruit. Many families had a house cow for milk, cheese, butter and cream. Most families also had meat animals.

In Japan, people use landmarks(地标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is just across the bus stop.In the Midwest of America, usually there are not many landmarks. So people will tell you directions(方向) and distance. In Kansas(堪萨斯州), for example, people will say, Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map. They measure(测量) distance by telling time. How far is the post office? you ask. Oh, they answer, its about five minutes walk from here. You say, Yes, but how many miles away is it？ They dont know. People in Greece(希腊) sometimes do not even try to give directions because few visitors understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, Follow me. Then hell lead you through the streets of the city to the post office. 根据短文内容回答问题。（1）Do most streets have names in Japan？(不超过5个词) （2）Why do people in Los Angeles measure distance by telling time？(不超过10个词) （3）How many countries does the passage tell us？(不超过5个词) 四、 根据句意和音标提示以适当形式填写正确的单词。 (共7题；共53分)15. （1分）It is now very c_ to travel to Hangzhou by underground. 16. （1分）A middle-aged woman was found _(死亡) in her house last night. 17. （5分）根据音标写出单词_/welkm/_/sains/_/du:s/_/meik/_/pa:ti/18. （5分） 将下列内容英汉互译 （1）see friends_（2）wait for_（3）回家_（4）给家里打电话。_（5）躺在阳光下 _19. （4分）将下列内容英汉互译 （1）sweep away_（2）cook the meal_（3）have a look at _（4）at work_20. （32分）写出下列形容词的比较级和最高级。 （1）good/ well _ _（2）ill _ _（3）many/ much _ _（4）little _ _（5）bad _ _（6）far _ _（7）few _ _（8）close _ _（9）beautiful _ _（10）early _ _（11）hard _ _（12）expensive _ _（13）hot _ _（14）thin _ _（15）healthy _ _（16）safe _ _21. （5分） 将下列内容英汉互译 （1）be on a school trip_（2）go back_（3）take photos_（4）on sale_（5）a few_五、 短文填空 (共1题；共10分)22. （10分）语法填空，阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。Mr. Brown got up late this morning.
