20、ina, I have been asked by two different people what I would recommend to them so that they could be happy. One of these people was my student and friend who began her question by saying I always appeared happy to her. She then asked how I could be this way and if I could teach her how to be happy al
21、l the time. The other inquiry was basically the same and came from the secretary of a company for which I was doing some work. The first one to ask was my student and in thinking about an answer I even explored in class the idea of optimism and pessimism, of people who feel the glass is always half
22、full and those who think it is half empty. It was easy to show that different people react differently to the same situations and conditions but that didnt bring me much closer to understanding why. About two months later I was riding to the airport in a taxi with the company secretary who asked me
23、the same question and it made me think. Why did both these ladies feel they needed help to become happy Indeed, why did either of them think they were not happy Why did they choose to ask this question of me Why are some people generally happy while others are not Certainly if someone is healthy, it
24、 might be expected that they are happy, and this is probably true. However, some people have money and health but have a miserable disposition that makes it difficult for them to have friends and meaningful relationships. Similarly, one would expect those who have little to complain about their fate
25、 and many do, but others are able to enjoy what they have and enjoy life. It seems the difference must lie within the people. What we may be looking at is acceptance of a personal set of circ umstances and the contentment which flows from that. It should not mean, however, that those people cannot w
26、ish for something better. If the difference between people who are happy and those who are not lies within the people themselves, can happiness be learned I think there are things we can do, such as dreaming of the future, which can give us the sort of positive outlook which will generally make us h

30、.D This year Canadas navy is one hundred years old. To mark the occasion, military ships from six different countries around the Pacific Ocean came to Canada for a four-day celebration. There were parades, parties and demonstrations of navy search and rescue aircraft and a show put on by the Snowbir
31、ds. The Snowbirds, Canadas aerobatic team, fly Tudor jet aircraft that are not particularly fast or particularly new but with amazing and sometimes hair-raising precision. They put a formation of nine aircraft into a space that would normally hold only one and they change the information in flight,
32、roll it, loop it, break it and reform it in a dizzying ballet in the sky. The Snowbirds are one of the best aerobatic flying teams in the world and they are a readily recognized symbol of Canada just as the Great Wall is a recognized symbol of China. For a Canadian, watching the Snowbirds fly can br
33、ing tears. They make us very proud. The Snowbirds have been flying since 1971. All of the pilots are serving members of the Canadian Air Force. They are all very young, all are highly-skilled and each is attached to the Snowbirds for two or three years. Each winter they practice in the cold, clear s
34、kies and each summer they put on more than fifty air-shows across the country and sometimes abroad. What they do is highly specialized. They often fly less than two meters from each other at speeds of about seven hundred and fifty kilometers an hour. Flying is, by its nature, inherently risky and wh
35、at the Snowbirds do increases that risk. While the pilots are all highly trained professionals, eight Snowbird pilots have been killed over the years. I have been fortunate enough to watch the Snowbirds fly probably fifteen or twenty times and if I know they are going to be flying I will go to see t
36、hem again and again. This is not because I want to see someone do something dangerous, it is because I want to see something done so wellit is almost unbelievably precise and beautiful. I want to watch nine aircraft in an incredibly tight formation, each one painted in the red and white of my countr
37、ys flag, soaring through the cloudless blue sky. I want to feel that pride and that tear just behind my eyelids that comes from watching something uniquely and wonderfully Canadian. 【小题 1】 . Which of the following is TRUE about the Snowbirds A The aircraft they fly are particularly fast and new. B T
38、hey are the best aerobatic flying team in the world. C They are regarded as a symbol of Canada. D Every year they put on more than fifty air-shows across the country. 【小题 2】 . . The underlined word “inherently” in the last paragraph refers to . A naturally B truly C entirely D nearly 【小题 3】 . Why do
39、es the author like to watch the Snowbirds fly A Because he wants to see someone do something dangerous. B Because the flying is unbelievably precise and beautiful. C Because his countrys flag is painted on each one. D Because watching them fly can make people cry. 【小题 4】 . Which of the following mig
40、ht be the best title for the passage A Air-shows of the Snowbirds B A Four-day Celebration of Canada C The Training of Highly-skilled Pilots D A National Symbol - the Snowbirds 答案： 【小题 1】 .C 【小题 1】 .A 【小题 1】 .B 【小题 1】 .D The most common complaint about cellphones is that people talk on them to the a
41、nnoyance of people around them. But more damaging may be the cellphones interruption of our thoughts. We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cellphones, and this is in generally a healthy, protective development. “I didnt hear it ring” or “I didnt realize my phone had sh
42、ut off” are among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where were beyond reach. The concept of being unreachable is not new we have “Do Not Disturb” signs on the doors of hotel rooms. So why must we feel guilty when it comes to cellphones Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the phone
43、for a while The problem is that we come from a long-established tradition of difficulty with distance communication. Until the recent mass use of cellphones, it was easy to communicate with someone next to us or a few feet away, but difficult with someone across town, the country or the globe. We ca
44、me to take it for granted. But cellphones make long-distance communication common, and endanger our time by ourselves. Now time alone, or a conversation with someone next to us which cannot be interrupted by a phone, is something to be cherished. Even cellphone devotees, myself usually included, can
45、t help at times wanting to throw their phones away, or curse this invention. But we dont and wont, and there really is no need. That we have the right to take back our private time is a general social recognition. In other words, we dont have to pay too much attention to the rings of our own phones.
46、 Given the ease of making and receiving cellphone calls, if we dont talk to the caller right now, we surely will shortly later. A cellphone call deserves no more importance than a word from the person next to us. Though the call on my cellphone may be the one-in-a-million from Steven Spielbergwho ha
47、s finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie. But most likely it is not, and Im better off, thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the slice of pizza Ill eat for lunch. 【小题 1】 . What does the writer think about people telling “white lies” about their cellphones A It is
48、 a way to show that you dont like the caller. B It is natural to tell lies about small things. C It is basically a good way to protect ones privacy. D We should feel guilty when we cant tell the truth. 【小题 2】 . What is the meaning of the underlined word “devotees” in Paragraph 5 A people who enjoy something. B people who are bothered. C peo
