A person, like a commodity(商品), needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration(夸張) will do no harm when it shows the person’s unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment so that the person so packaged is not a commodity, but a human being, lively and lovely.

A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted. Youth however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the company of the elderly is like reading a thick book of good edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it. As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.

A. decoration B. clarification C. movement D. identification

Teenagers at one German school are learning how to achieve happiness alongside other traditional subjects such as math and languages.

      The class sit in a circle with their eyes shut and they count from one to ten: someone starts, the next voice comes from the far right, a third from the other side.

      The aim of the game is to listen for an opportunity to shout out the number without clashing (沖突) with another voice or leaving a pause. On the first try, most of the young Germans try to be first, while a few are too shy to join in, but by the fifth time round, they develop a rhythm. The message: give other people space but also confidently claim your own. This is a requirement for social well-being.

     The Willy Hellpach School in Heidelberg is the first in the nation to develop a happiness course. It is intended for students preparing for university entrance exams.

      "The course isn't there to make you happy," Ernst Fritz -Schubert, the school principal, warned pupils, "but rather to help you discover the ways to become happy."

      Cooking a meal together is one of the class exercises. Improving body language under the guidance of two professional actresses is another.

     The course is taught for three periods a week. Despite the happy subject, the pupils themselves insist it is no laughing matter.

      "In the first period, we had to each say something positive about another member of the class and about ourselves. No laughing at people." said Fanny, 17.

      Research by the school shows it is not the first to start happiness classes: they also exist at some U. S. universities, mainly based on positive thinking, using findings from studies of depression.

1.What's the writing purpose of this passage?

A. To help students struggle against being sad.        

B. To describe all the traditional courses.

C. To arouse the readers' interest in happiness. 

D. To introduce the happiness course.

2.The game intended for the students in the 2nd paragraph is mainly to _________.

A. try their best to get opportunities for themselves

B. practice how to speak in front of people

C. equip them with required social skills

D. confidently speak out one's opinions

3.According to the passage, the happiness course is _________.

A. to help students discover the ways to happiness

B. to make all the students happy all the time

C. required to be taken by the first year students

D. created by the Willy Hellpach School

4.It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

A. the students can certainly become happy after the course

B. the students just took the course as a laughing matter

C. the students' self'-respect can also improve happiness

D. the students waste time learning something without value

Once a king asked an artist to paint a picture for him. He told the artist he didn’t want to any shadows in the picture, just sunshine, but the artist did so. When the king saw the finish picture, he was disappointed. Without shadows, everything in the picture looked flat and real. The point of the story was that we need both shadows and sunshine to have a completely picture, just as we need both rain and sun to have living world. People, too, need both sadness and happiness. We often learn some important lesson during sad times. So when we feel sad, we should try to stop and think about that we might learn of the experience.

At first sight, you would think the collection of hundreds of colored shards(碎片)could be a work of abstract art. But the objects are the contents of the stomach of a sea turtle that lost its battle with plastic pollution.

Environmentalists examined the stomach of the turtle found off the coast of Argentina. What they found is the symptom of the increasing threat to sea turtles from a human addiction to plastic.

Sea turtles often mistake plastic items for jellyfish or other food. Ingesting(攝。﹐cean pollution can cause a digestive blockage and internal cuts. The result can be dangerous, followed by death.

Humans produce 260 million tons of plastic a year. When those products are pulled into the sea’s currents, the plastics are just broken into smaller pieces which are consumed by marine life at the bottom of the food chain. An examination of a green turtle found off Florida discovered that, over the course of a month, the animal’s faeces(糞便)had contained 74 foreign objects, including “four types of balloons, different types of hard plastic, a piece of carpet--like material and two 2--4 mm tar balls.”

“The oceans have become a giant refuse bin for all manner of plastics. All sea turtle species may be seriously harmed, “according to the biologists Colette Wabnitz, from the University of British Columbia. ”The symptom of this growing crisis can be seen inside and on sea turtles as well as their oceanic and terrestrial habitats. It is urgently necessary to directly confront the source of plastic pollution, redesign packaging and rethink the very idea of ‘throwaway culture’.”

Almost all marine species, from plankton to whales, have ingested plastic. But, even in small quantities, plastic can kill sea turtles, the biologists said.

Fifty out of 92 turtles found dead, stranded on the shorelines of Rio Grande do Sul state in Brazil, had ingested a “considerable amount of man-made debris”.

1.What’s tile passage mainly about?

A. How to prevent the sea turtle from plastic.

B. Why plastic is dangerous to the sea turtle.

C. Protecting the sea turtle from being polluted.

D. Sea turtles suffering from plastic pollution.

2.The author mentions the “throwaway culture” probably in a(n) _________ tone.

A. praising B. positive C. ironic D. comedic

3.The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means _________.

A. a kind of food B. a kind of fish

C. pieces of cloth D. pieces of rubbish

4.The paragraph following the last one will probably talk about ________.

A. the way the biologists examined the sea turtle

B. some tips on how to make sea turtles avoid plastic

C. how to prevent plastic pollution

D. the reason why we should protect the sea turtle
