What do you think is the most important thing in our life, to keep young, to be rich or to be successful? No matter what you want to be, everyone wants to be 26 . However, few know how to make it. Money and success alone do not bring us happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness is up to 27 .” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are some secrets to helping you be happier.
The first one is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time 28 about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job. In that way, we are unable to 29 the present. We should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time 30 close friends. If people have some close friends, they often live more happily and healthily.
A. only B. by C. others D. forget E. hobbies F. to feel
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active and have 31 . Hobbies can help you forget your problems. Many people enjoy dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and 32 think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping 33 . Scientists believe that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want 34 happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an old person, or just help out around the house 35 washing the dishes.

“It’ll soon be the Chinese New Year. Before it, we’ll clean the house and decorate（装饰）it for good luck. Every shop is going to close for a few days and we’ll go out a lot to celebrate in the streets. We might go and see the lion and dragon dances in the city center. I love this festival.”
Wendy, 16, Sydney, Australia
“Australia Day is on 26th January. It’s an important holiday here. We always have a Monday off, so we celebrate for three days. My parents and I go to the countryside for a picnic and friends always come over. Many people go to beach parties or street parties, and there are lots of music and dancing. What fun!”
Amy, 14, New York, the US
“The first Thanksgiving Day was celebrated hundreds of years ago when Europeans who came to America thanked God for his help. It’s still a very important day for family members to be together. This year we’re going to visit my grandparents and we’ll eat a delicious meal of turkey. Thanksgiving Day is on the 4th Thursday in November every year.”
根据短文内容判断句子的正误。正确的用 “A”表示，不正确的用 “B”表示。
36. Tan Xiaodong can see the lion and dragon dances on Chinese New Year.

（二）阅读短文，完成40—47小题。（共8小题，计16分）
B
We have four chickens: Peanut, Cookie, Ice-cream and Potato. My husband Andrew made a beautiful coop (笼子) for them together with our kids.
He gave some tools to the kids because he believed it was important that they could really make something. Then, he slowly helped them. The kids made the mistakes of learning—a board cut too short and hands cut by knives—but in the end, Andrew did some tricks and the coop looked perfect.
The chickens love their perfectly imperfect home and we like to let them run around the yard freely. One day, we went to the city center, knowing that the chickens won’t go very far. When we got back, my son, Gordon, ran to check on them. There were Peanut, Cookie and Potato, looking a mess. Ice-cream was nowhere to be seen.
We searched around the yard and found lots of feathers (羽毛). By this time, Gordon’s eyes got watery. Ice-cream was his favorite chicken.
Andrew picked Gordon up and held him in his arms. As we stood there, accepting that we were now a three-chicken family, we heard it—a soft clucking sound. Andrew put Gordon down and they looked under the bush. There was Ice-cream, a half-naked (半裸的) chicken. She looked strange, but she was totally fine. Andrew carefully picked her up and returned her to the coop.
The next day, Andrew had a meeting with the kids. The kids believed that the chickens should stay in the coop, safe from everything that may hurt them. Andrew disagreed. He believed that we should be more careful, letting the chickens out when we were in the yard. He encourages our kids to take risks. He sees that the risk of living life—by having the freedom to walk around the yard—is better than the safety of a coop.
根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
40. Which chicken was found under the bush?
A. Peanut. B. Ice-cream. C. Potato.
41. Which of the following facts show that Andrew is a wise father?
A. He held his son in his arms when the boy was worried.
B. He carefully returned the chicken to the coop.
C. He taught the kids to make a coop through mistakes and encouraged them to take risks in life.
42. What will most probably happen after the accident?
A. The chickens will run freely when the family are around.
B. The family will send the four chickens to the nature.
C. The chickens will be kept in the coop from any danger.
43. What can be the best title of this passage?
A. Life is Full of Risks
B. A Father and A Coop
C. Chickens Provide Life Lessons

B
We have four chickens: Peanut, Cookie, Ice-cream and Potato. My husband Andrew made a beautiful coop (笼子) for them together with our kids.
He gave some tools to the kids because he believed it was important that they could really make something. Then, he slowly helped them. The kids made the mistakes of learning—a board cut too short and hands cut by knives—but in the end, Andrew did some tricks and the coop looked perfect.
The chickens love their perfectly imperfect home and we like to let them run around the yard freely. One day, we went to the city center, knowing that the chickens won’t go very far. When we got back, my son, Gordon, ran to check on them. There were Peanut, Cookie and Potato, looking a mess. Ice-cream was nowhere to be seen.
We searched around the yard and found lots of feathers (羽毛). By this time, Gordon’s eyes got watery. Ice-cream was his favorite chicken.
Andrew picked Gordon up and held him in his arms. As we stood there, accepting that we were now a three-chicken family, we heard it—a soft clucking sound. Andrew put Gordon down and they looked under the bush. There was Ice-cream, a half-naked (半裸的) chicken. She looked strange, but she was totally fine. Andrew carefully picked her up and returned her to the coop.
The next day, Andrew had a meeting with the kids. The kids believed that the chickens should stay in the coop, safe from everything that may hurt them. Andrew disagreed. He believed that we should be more careful, letting the chickens out when we were in the yard. He encourages our kids to take risks. He sees that the risk of living life—by having the freedom to walk around the yard—is better than the safety of a coop.

40. Which chicken was found under the bush?
A. Peanut. B. Ice-cream. C. Potato.

B. The family will send the four chickens to the nature.
C. The chickens will be kept in the coop from any danger.
43. What can be the best title of this passage?
