Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. 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. W hen 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 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’t say loudly you are very happy because you have more chances to challenge yourselves. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. If you take every chance you get, you will be a happy and lucky person.
| A．laugh at you | B．play jokes on you |
| C．quarrel with you | D．help you up |
| A．Congratulations. | B．Oh, so do I. |
| C．Good luck. | D．It' s just so-so. |
| A．Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you. |
| 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．People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air. |
| A．Bad luck | B．Good luck | C．Happiness | D．Life. |
“An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue(队伍) of one,” wrote a famous British author, George Mikes．While this sounds funny, it’s a popular English stereotype (刻板印象)．From the supermarket to the subway, queues are a common sight on the streets of Britain．
Here in China, queues are normal, too．It is a part of everyday life．People queue most of the time, from buying tickets in the cinema to waiting for seats at a restaurant．But in certain situations, you’ll find yourself in the middle of a rushing crowd, such as getting onto the subway．Even away from the busy subway platform, queues are different．
One day I was standing in line at the supermarket．I left a small space in front of me．Within seconds, a girl walked by and took her place in that small space．I was surprised at first, but later I found these experiences very interesting．It is with these small, everyday differences that I get to live and learn in a new culture．
Back in Britain, the person spends about six months of their life waiting in a queue, according to the auction site MadBid．To pass the time, maybe they tell themselves the famous proverb: Good things come to those who wait．
| A．forming an orderly queue |
| B．being rude and loud |
| C．traveling on subways |
| D．spending more time waiting in a queue |
| A．call on people in China to queue more |
| B．compare queuing in two cultures |
| C．praise the English for following good manners |
| D．explain why people rush in some situations |
| A．Sports. | B．News. |
| C．Culture. | D．Business. |

I’m Cathy Brown. I am now working for the Sunshine Travel Service in Changsha. I have just come back from Taiwan, the biggest island of China. It is in the Pacific Ocean(太平洋) to the east of Fujian.
Last week, I took a group of French holiday-makers for a week’s trip to Taiwan. We traveled all around the island. There are a lot of places of interest. My favorite is Sun Moon Lake. You may ask why people call it so. If you fly high up over the lake and look down from your plane, you will find the answer yourself. In the middle of this lake, there is a small island that is called Pearl Island because it looks like a pearl. On one side of Pearl Island the lake looks like a sun, and on the other side it looks like a moon. That is why people call it the Sun Moon Lake.
There are many mountains around this lake. One of the nearest is Mount Ali. We stayed there for three days. We also had a dancing party with Gaoshan people. On our first day there we went to the mountain and watched the sun going down slowly in the west. On our last day we got up early and saw the beautiful sunrise(日出).
Taiwan is a wonderful place which is known for beautiful scenery.
