With more and more cars on the road, the traffic jam（交通堵塞） will happen. How do we see it and how can we solve the problem?
We know that the traffic jam happens in many places, especially in big cities. What are reasons for the problem? On one hand, some people think that they should have a car when they have enough money, and then it’s easy to go out and they can feel comfortable. On the other hand, a growing number of people hope to use their cars to show off（炫耀）. What’s more, years of research has shown that one of other reasons for the traffic jam is the driving habit. For example, many young people enjoy driving very fast, so they can feel excited. At last, most of them hardly care about the speed（速度） rules.
Many governments（政府） are working at how to make the traffic better. In my opinion, firstly, the government should educate（教育） those people who have cars or plan to buy cars. The governments must make them know that the traffic jam is very serious , and set up a much more perfect traffic system（体系） to solve the traffic pressure.Why is the traffic jam getting more and more serious?
| A．Because there are not enough ways of transportation. |
| B．Because there are fewer speed rules. |
| C．Because there are more and more cars on the roads. |
| D．Because governments are not working at how to make the traffic better. |
What should the governments do to make the traffic better?
| A．They should educate those people who are young. |
| B．They should educate those people who are old. |
| C．They should set up a much more perfect traffic system. |
| D．They shouldn’t allow people to buy so many cars. |
What does the passage mainly talk about?
| A．Reasons why people want to buy cars. |
| B．How drivers should drive. |
| C．How to solve the traffic jam. |
| D．The traffic jam, reasons for it and solutions. |
Life is full of happiness and bitters（痛苦）. Do you choose to live a happy life or a bitter one?
In my opinion, happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and lots of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big house 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 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 say loudly you are very happy, because 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.Happiness is for ____________．
| A．those who have large and beautiful houses |
| B．those who have cars |
| C．those who have lots of money |
| D．all people |
When you do something wrong, .
| A．people around you will help you |
| B．you will have no chance to challenge yourself |
| C．your classmates will laugh at you |
| D．you will be happy |
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
| A．When you get success, your friends will be very proud of 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．All of the above.. |
We say “Happiness is not the same as money.” because .
| A．money always brings happiness |
| B．money doesn’t always bring happiness |
| C．everything can be bought with money |
| D．only rich doesn’t always bring happiness |
