For a long time being happy was considered natural，and there was nothing special to do about it. Now we know that we can work at getting along well with other people. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better.
One way is being unselfish，not wanting everything your own way or asking for the best share of everything, including the attention of your friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other people.
You don’t have to be spineless(无骨气的)in order to be popular. In fact，you will be liked and respected(尊重)if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights(权利). But do it politely and pleasantly. One way to develop a good character is being friendly and polite to your own group, to older people，to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you.
You cannot expect to be p
erfect, so you must learn not to b
e too unhappy when you make a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged(泄气的) when they know their unpleasant qualities—selfishness，laziness，etc. Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them.
When sometMng is wrong，it is best to try to make it right. Perhaps you don’t like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why，and look at yourself，too. Make sure that you are not doing something to make others dislike you. In time, things may turn out all right, then you simply have to learn to get along the best you can w
ith the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can’t change.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined part?
| A．Not sharing anything with others. |
| B．Not thinking too much of yourself. |
| C．Not attracting the attention of your friends. |
| D．Not making friends with people who have bad points. |
How can we get along well with others according to the passage?
| A．We should find out unpleasant qualities in others and in ourselves. |
| B．We should show others our unpleasant qualities. |
| C．We should stand up for our rights in any way we like. |
| D．We should fight against our unpleasant qualities. |
What can we know from the passage?
| A．Even if we don’t have good relationships with others，we needn’t work at it. |
| B．Even if someone is not important to us，we still need to treat him politely. |
| C．Even if we are willing to learn from ouy mistakes，we are still to be blamed. |
| D．Even if the situation cannot be changed, we still need to worry much about it. |

Kelly Christopher, a student at Lutheran High School in California, US, loves oranges. One day last week, she used a pole(竿子) to pick oranges off trees and collect them in baskets. It's the first time in her 15 years she's picked fruit from trees.
"This is quite different from buying oranges in the supermarket," said Christopher. "Every time I eat an orange, I'll remember this experience."
Christopher was one of the 30 student volunteers at Soil Born Farms. She volunteered as part of a project which was set up in 2009 to help homeowners in South Land Park pick oranges and other fruits out of their backyards. Before, the fruit would rot on the ground or get eaten by animals. Now the fruit is donated to those who need it.
"It is good for many people", said Randy Stannard, who works for the project. "The homeowner gets fruit picked and more people can have healthy food."
"Two harvests (收成 ) were organized in 2009 and volunteers picked 3,000 pounds (1,360kg) of fruit", Stannard said. In 2010, the number was 20,000. This year, Soil Born Farms hopes to get 40,000 pounds. They will harvest every weekend from January to April.
Shannon Galloway, Christopher's science teacher, brought her students into the project this year.
"You're making use of a resource that might be wasted," she said. "I think it's meaningful to everyone."
Donato Frazier, 15, always climbs up a ladder(梯子) and gets on the top of the tree.
"Standing on the treetop is pretty cool," Frazier said. "I can see clearly that many baskets are filled up, and even see that many people are eating healthy fruit because of our volunteer work."Christopher and other students went to pick fruits from real trees because they wanted to _____.
| A．have some fresh fruit for themselves |
| B．make some money by selling fruit |
| C．provide people with more healthy fruit |
| D．buy some cheap fruit from their neighbors |
When was the project set up?
| A．In 2008. | B．In 2009. | C．In 2010. | D．In 2011. |
What will happen to the fruit if they don’t help the homeowners pick it?
| A．The fruit will rot or be eaten by small animals. |
| B．People who need the fruit will come to pick it. |
| C．The fruit will be used as a resource for research. |
| D．Homeowners will pick the fruit and sell it. |
What does the underlined word resource mean?
| A．资源 | B．调查 | C．对策 | D．娱乐 |
How do the students feel about their work?
| A．It’s interesting and easy. |
| B．It’s meaningless and hard. |

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those 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 at 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 study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; 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. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that 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 can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge(向…挑战)yourself. So you can not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转)door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will_________.
| A．laugh at you | B．play jokes on you | C．quarrel with you | D．help you up |
What will your friends say to you when you make great progress(进步)?
| A．Oh, so do I. | B．Congratulations. |
| C．Good luck. | D．It’s just so-so. |

| A．People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air. |
| B．You can get help from others when you make mistakes. |
| C．You can still be a happy person even if you have little money. |
| D．Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you. |

| A．Bad luck. | B．Good luck. | C．Happiness. | D．Life. |
