14．Most people want to be happy，but few know how to find happiness．Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness．Happiness depends on ourselves．In other words，we make our own happiness．
Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier．
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life．Too often，we spend so much time thinking about the future--for example，getting into college or getting a good job that we fail to enjoy the present（現(xiàn)在）．You should enjoy life's simple pleasures，such as reading a good book，listening to your favorite music，or spending time with close friends．People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives．
Another secret of living a happy life is to be active，and hobbies make you forget your problems and time．Many people experience this by dancing，swimming or playing a sport．You can forget about your problems，and only think about the activity．
Finally，many people find happiness in helping others．Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others．If you want to feel happier，do good things for someone．You can help a friend with his or her studies，go shopping to buy food for an elderly person，or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes．
66．The passage gives us three pieces of advice onB．

4．根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案．
When thinking of Britain，many images come to mind：Big Ben，the Ferris wheel，red telephone boxes …and black London taxis．The taxi has an important role in London．
But what is so special about a simple taxi？First of all，the shape and style are very different from those of ordinary taxis．It looks like a half-car and half-van（半廂式貨車）．It has plenty of room in the back，which means it's easy for disabled people to use．And the black color makes it stand out on the road．
Besides the style of the car，taxi drivers have an important part in your travel．They have to pass a taxi driving test，and in London it is very difficult．As there are many tourists in London，drivers must know many roads by memory!
Apart from driving you to your destination，it is normal for the driver and passenger to have a conversation．Getting a taxi involves （涉及） a social space which the driver and you share．The image of a London taxi driver is one that is friendly and talkative．Most times when I get a taxi，I ask how the driver is．Then we usually talk about sports or new events．
In China，I've noticed that taxi drivers are usually quieter．Sometimes I try to speak with them in Chinese．And when I do，they usually seem friendly and open to talk．It's also a good situation to practice my Chinese!

36．Big Ben，the Ferris wheel，red telephone boxes and black taxis areA of Britain．

B．It looks like a white box．
C．It looks like a ball．
D．It looks like a half-car and half-van
38．Why is a London taxi easy for disabled people to use？C
A．Because the taxi drivers are quiet．
B．Because it has plenty of room in the front．
C．Because it has plenty of room in the back．
D．Because the passengers are talkative．
39．Taxi driver in London must be good atD．
A．speaking to passengers in Chinese

C．taking language tests

Watching the red lanterns is one of the main traditions．Lanterns of different shapes and sizes are usually put on trees，or along river banks on show．It is said that sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming to ask for help when he was in trouble．Today，when the  lanterns slowly rise into the air，people make wishes．

In old times，the Lantern Festival was also romantic（浪漫的）．Watching lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other．A line from Xin Qiji，a poet during the Song Dynasty，shows this：
Hundreds and thousands of times I searched for her in the crowd．Suddenly I turned，and there she stood，in the dim（昏暗的）light．

9．Elephants in Uganda are starting to come close to villages near national parks．The big animals are a real danger to people．So new tools called vuvuzelas have been given to people to keep the elephants away．They are plastic instruments some fans use at sports events．The instruments make a loud sound elephants do not like．The animals leave，and no one is harmed．
Vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten （威脅） the elephants．That is important because an elephant that feels threatened is more likely to attack．So far，no one has reported an elephant attacking in answer to a vuvuzela．

An official from the Uganda Wildlife Authority explains that people shoot the gun in the air to scare the elephant．But over time，the elephants have stopped being afraid of the sound of the gun．They only look at the shooter and wave their ears．Probably one day，elephants will accept the vuvuzela noise，just as they do the sound of the A-K47．But right now，vuvuzelas are an effective （有效的），harmless and fun way to deal with a serious problem．

6．Our cities are getting bigger and bigger as more people move from the country to the city．There are lots of reasons why they do this-mostly it is to find work，because all the big companies are in the cities and they need lots of people to work there．When there are lots of people living and working in a city，they need things like restaurants，shops，hospitals and schools，too．These are all more jobs that people need to do．There will be lots of transport in the city to move all the people around．Everything you could want will be found in a city：government offices，museums and art galleries，cinemas，big restaurants and parks．
Unfortunately the city is much busier，more expensive，and more dangerous than the country．The air is not so healthy because of all the cars and trucks on the roads．There are so many people that it is not as friendly-you cannot get to know everyone as you do in the country，and people may get lonely．You do not have much room in the city-most people live in apartments-not houses，and they do not have gardens or lots of space，and because of all the people there is also a lot of noise．

Every person is different，but more and more people choose to live in cities because there is so much to do there．What do you think about the city？

50．Why do more and more people move to the cities？A
A．Because they want to find a job．
B．Because they like to live in apartments．
C．Because they want to make more friends．
D．Because they like eating in big restaurants．
