14．Happiness is important for everyone．Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness．Money and success don't bring lasting happiness．Happiness depends on ourselves．In other words，we make our own happiness．
Some people believe that if they are wealthy，they will be able to do anything they want，which means happiness．On the other hand，some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness．In this way，you have not only money，but also many other things which can't be bought by money．However，other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness，nor is holding a high position in the government．These people value（重視） their beliefs，or their intelligence，or their health．They think these can make them happy．
Here are a few ways 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 don't enjoy the present．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 close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives．
The second secret of happiness is to be active．Many people go dancing or play sports．People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities．
Finally，many people find happiness in helping others．According to studies，people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people．If you want to feel happier，do something nice for someone．You can help a friend with his or her studies，go shopping to get food for an old neighbor，or simply help around the house．
Now maybe you know how to find happiness!

2．For better eyesight（視力），doctors advise limiting（限制） the hours of screen time and encourage having enough eye resting time．
However，another study shows that sitting in front of computer or TV screens for long hours is not the only reason for myopia（近視）．An Australian research team studied young children in Sydney and Singapore to find the reasons for myopia．The research team found that there were less children who had myopia in Sydney than those in Singapore，even though they spent more time in front of computer and TV screens．The major finding is that children in Sydney spend longer hours on outdoor sports than those in Singapore．
Indoor and outdoor sports both make the eyes pay attention to more distant（遠處的） objects，which stops the eyes from changing original shape．But outdoor sports may be better than indoor sports for myopia．Because natural light is good for eye growth and vitamin（維他命） D from the sunlight might be useful to it．Many doctors suggest that every child get its first eye test when he/she is about two and half years old，and even if his/her sight seems good enough．It is necessary for myopic（近視的） children to wear glasses to stop headaches，trouble reading and so on．It is also important that schools invite doctors to test their students'eyes．
If that is not possible，school teachers should at least encourage parents and children to have regular eye examination and wear glasses．And parents should remember not only to limit the total screen time for their children，but also to encourage them to spend time outdoors．

71．What did the Australian research team study for？A．
A．To find the reasons for myopia．
B．To find the ways to treat myopia．
C．To learn to choose right glasses．
D．To improve children's eyesight．
72．Why are there fewer children with myopia in Sydney than those in Singapore？D．
A．Because the children in Sydney watch TV less．
B．Because the children in Sydney have more eye resting time．
C．Because the children in Sydney use computer less．
D．Because the children in Sydney do more outdoor sports．
73．What is good for eye growth according to the passage？C．
A．Natural light．B．Vitamin D．
C．Natural light and Vitamin D．D．The sun．
74．Which of the following is true？B．
A．Children should have eye tests as soon as they reach school age．
B．Looking more at distant objects can help the eyes keep their original shape．
C．Doing outdoor sports with no glasses is good for myopic children．
D．Children should limit their time in the sun to protect their eyes．
75．The passage mainly tells usC．
A．the children in Sydney spend more time in front of screens
B．the children in Singapore like outdoor sports
C．doing outdoor sports and limiting the hours of screen time are good for eyes
D．it's important to test students'eyes．

9．What will the house of the future look like？Could it have gardens on its walls，or a pool with fish for dinner？Architects believe that they are all possibilities．The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible．
The tree house
  Many architects in the world would like to build a"tree house．"Like a leaf，the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day．The energy can be used to heat water，produce electricity，and even create fresh air for the home．The"root"（根） of the house is deep under the ground．It uses the soil （土壤） to the home's temperature．
The Lizard house
   Like a lizard （蜥蜴），changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house．When it's in the bright sun，the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat．During dark days，it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy．
Meals at home
  This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture （建筑風(fēng)格）．It has gardens on the outside wall of the house．People can plant tomatoes，carrots and green tea on them．So every day in the morning，you just need to walk outside and collect your meals．
Learning from the past
   Looking to the future isn't the only way to be green．Sometimes，ancient techniques （古老的技術(shù)） can also help cut down energy use．For example，a chimney （煙囪） can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier of hot air to flow out at the chimney．

40．What is the best title （標題） of the passage？A
A．Green house of the future．
b．The greener，the better．
C．How to build green houses．
D．Changes of the houses．
41．We can heat water，produce electricity or create fresh air for the homeB．
A．with the root of a leaf．
B．with the energy from sunlight．
C．with the soil under the ground
D．with gardens on its walls．
42．What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it's in the bright sun？C
A．It will take in light．
b．It will produce energy．
C．It will turn dark．
D．It will turn white．
43．The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the futureD．
A．will be more delicious．
b．need more cooks．
C．cost as much as possible．
D．will be greener．
44．A chimney can be a useful air conditioner but it used to causeA．
A．pollution．b．a(chǎn)ccident．C．noise．D．techniques．

8．Feeling left out？
A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn't around．Here's our advice to her-and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes．
It's hard when a best friend isn't around-maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new friends．but how do you make them？Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends．But remember，there's always room for more friends…
Start by looking around your classroom-think about which kids you'd like to play with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share something or express your appreciation（欣賞）to them．Invite someone to play with you or say"Do you want to sit here？"in the lunchroom．When you're at break，walk over to kids you want to play with，act friendly，and say"Hi，can I play，too？"or just join in．
If you have trouble doing this or if you're feeling shy，ask your teacher to help you make  new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help-and pretty soon，you'll have one，or two，or even more new friends．
You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other，you can share
 something you didn't have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!
