Certainly dustmen prefer to be known as \"Reuse Collection and Disposal Officers\"（垃圾回收处理官员）. You may think that this is rather 16 , and it is better to call a spade a spade. But dustmen can be as 17 as people of any other occupation（职业）, though we must 18 that their job is not a 19 one in the world. We often take dustmen for granted.

Perhaps now the English people 34 the work of their dustmen rather more 35 and won't take them for granted any more.

Definition of Happiness
A proverb from ancient China was widely spread in the West: “If you want to be happy
for a few hours, go to get drunk; if you want the happiness to last three years, get married; if you want lifetime happiness, take up gardening.” The reason for the last is this: Gardening is not only useful, but it helps you to identify(与……一致) yourself with nature, and thus brings you new joy each day besides improving your health.
A research of a US university that I’ve read gives a definition of happiness as what
makes a person feel comfortably pleased. To put it specially, happiness is an active state of mind where one thinks one’s life is meaningful, satisfactory and comfortable. This should be something lasting rather than transitory (短暂的).
Lots of people regard it the happiest to be at leisure (空闲). But according to a study, it is
not a person with plenty of leisure but one at work that feels happy, especially those busy with work having little time for leisure. Happiness does not mean gains one is after but a desire to harvest what one is seeking for. People often do not treasure what they already have but desire what they cannot get. That is somewhat like a man with fond dreams of numerous lovers while unwilling to settle down with the woman beside him.
Happiness is a game balancing between two ends — what one has and what one wishes
for, i.e. one’s dream and the possibility to realize it. The study comes to this conclusion: A happy man is one who aims high but never forgets his actual situation; one who meets challenges that develop his ability and potentiality; one who’s proud of his achievements and the recognition given to him. He has self-respect and self-confidence; treasures his own identity and loves freedom. He is sociable and enjoys wide range communication with others; he’s helpful and ready to accept assistance. He knows he is able to bear sufferings and failures; he is sensible enough to get fun from daily work. He is a man capable of love and passion. 36. According to the passage, gardening can bring lifetime happiness because _______. A. it is a business that brings money
B. it can strengthen gardeners’ ability to remake nature C. it can make gardeners enjoy very happy marriage D. gardeners can build good relationship with nature
37. It can be concluded from the research of the university that most people feel happy when
_______.
A. they are at leisure B. they are engaged in working C. they are gardening D. they have numerous lovers
38. The writer mentioned a man with fond dreams of numerous lovers in order to _______. A. give an example of a person who doesn’t value what he already owns
B. show that this kind of person has plenty of leisure time to do what he wants C. make it clear that only this kind of person can enjoy happiness D. show the serious problem in marriage in modern society 39. From the passage we can know that happiness is _______. A. getting everything one longs for B. just dreams made by those confident people C. taking up gardening
D. a balance between what one owns and what one dreams of
B
When should a child start learning to read and write? This is one of the questions I am
frequently asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the intricacies (难懂之处) of reading letters to form words.
If a three-year-old wants to read (or even a two-year-old for that matter), the child has the
right to be given every encouragement. The fact that he or she might later be “bored” when joining a class of non-readers at child school is the teacher’s affair. It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material.
Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age
of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic(诵读困难的). If he is, a specialist’s help should immediately be sought.
Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five to learn to
read (if badly done it could put them off reading for life), there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labeling (标明) various items in their room. For instance, tie a nice piece of cardboard to their bed with BED written in neat, big letters.
Should the young child ask his parents to teach him to read, and if the parents are capable
of doing so, such an attraction should not be ignored. But the task should never be made to look like a hard job and the child should never be forced to continue, should his interest start to flag(消退).
40. This passage is mainly about _______.
A. what qualities people teaching children reading should have
B. different age groupings of children to be taught reading C. when and how children should be taught reading D. various problems of children who start learning to read 41. In the writer’s opinion, children start learning to read _______. A. early and fast B. at different rules C. by a certain rule D. from word games 42. A three-year-old child who wants to read should _______. A. be encouraged B. go to an infant school C. start from fun stories D. join a class of non-readers
43. The purpose of labeling items in the room is to _______. A. make it more colorful B. teach children to write neatly C. help children recognize simple letters D. force children to develop the habit of reading 44. The writer suggests that _______.
A. children should ask their parents to teach them to read
B. children should not feel bored if given advanced reading material C. children starting to read should ask specialists for help
D. children should be taught with patience, care and a sense of humor

PALO ALTO, California------“Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter------ even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise,” US researchers said last week.
A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds(0.9kg) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.
“The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,” said Thomas Robinson, a
pediatrician(儿科专家) at Stanford University.
“American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,” Robinson said.
In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies’ annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third.
Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet or took part in any extra exercise. “One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories,” Robinson said.
“Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson said.
45. The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that ________. A. children will get fatter if they eat too much B. children will get thinner if they eat less
C. children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TV D. children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV
467. According to the passage, the time American children usually spend on watching TV_____.
A. is more than four hours a day B. is less than four hours a day C. doubled in the last twenty years D. is more than on any other activities
47. The time children spend on TV viewing every day is suggested to be about ________. A. six hours B. eight hours C. three hours
D. one hour
48. Which one of the following is right?
A. Children usually eat fewer while watching TV. B. Children usually eat more while watching TV.
C. Children eat the same amount of meals while watching TV. D. Children usually eat nothing while watching TV.
49. Why can watching TV increase kids’ weight according to the passage? A. They usually eat more while watching TV. B. They burn off fewer calories.
C. They change their diet while watching TV. D. Both A and B. IV. 单词拼写
