You dont need to worry about people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you are studying hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of you. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. All your happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that cant be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you should not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.（1）Happiness is for _.A . those who have large and beautiful housesB . those who have carsC . those who have a lot of moneyD . all people（2）When you do something wrong, _.A . people around you will help you to correct（改正）itB . you will have no chance to challenge yourselfC . your classmates will laugh at youD . you will be happy（3）Which is TRUE according to the passage?A .

Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school; no matter how much the teacher knows, he cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teachers job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula(公式).It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didnt get everything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions at what they read and they did thousands of experiments.（1）What do many people go to school for?A . Teaching.B . Books.C . Learning languages.D . An education（2）The teachers job is to teach _.A . everything the students want to knowB . students everything he knowsC . students some facts or formulasD . students the methods of learning（3）Einstein, Newton and Galileo did so many things for mankind because _.A . they learned a lot at schoolB . they learned everything inside and outside schoolC . they were so usefulD . they went to college and learned from professors19. （10分）根据短文理解，选择正确答案。One day a man found a cocoon(蚕) of a butterfly in the forest. He sat there for several hours and watched the butterfly. Suddenly, a small opening appeared and the butterfly made its great effort(努力) to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.（那个蛹好象忘记了它该怎样做, 也好象停止了挣扎）.So the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly would come out easily. But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon.The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would become larger and be able to fly. But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬) around with a heavy body and small wings. It was never able to fly.The man was in his kindness, but he didnt understand the nature rules. Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid(液体) from its body must be forced into its wings, and then would be ready for flying. It must have a hard struggle(拼搏) to get through the small opening to get its freedom from the cocoon.Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We would not be as strong as we could have been, we could never fly.（1）What was the butterfly doing at the beginning of the story?A . It was trying to make a cocoon for it self.B .
