Dear son,

   The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.

   If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I spent teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same things thousand and one times, do not interrupt me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented, in order that you wanted to breathe. When you see my knowing little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you how to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life… When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me.

  If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when not. When my tired legs do not allow me to walk, give me your hand, the same way I did when you made your first step. And when someday I say to you that I do not want to live anymore—that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.

  Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted the best thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impatient for seeing me near you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you starting living. I will pay you by a smile and by the great love I have had always for you.

根据对话情景和内容，从对话后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Everyone knows there are many English expressions about clothes. If I keep talking, soon enough you will start to think I am an old hat about this -- a real expert. Do not be fooled, though. My friends sometimes call me a wolf in sheep’s clothing.   71 

I’m not really a bad person. But I do love clothes. It is always fun to get dressed up. I look great in my best clothes.   72   In fact, my husband says I look dressed to kill. Of course, I would never kill anyone. But, there is something special about putting on clothes that are pleasing to the eye.

My favorite clothes are not modern or fashionable.   73   But I really do not care. Some of the clothes I like best are hand-me-downs. My older sister gave them to me when she no longer wanted them. Hand-me-downs are great because clothes often cost too much money. I live on a shoestring. I have a very small budget and little money to spend on clothes.   74   Maybe someday the shoe will be on the other foot. The opposite will be true. I will have a lot of money to buy clothes and my sister will get hand-me-downs from me.

I admit I dream of being rich. I dream that someday I will be able to live like a rich person.   75   Some of my friends got rich by riding someone else’s coat tails. They are successful today as a result of someone else being successful. But, I believe you should never criticize others for something you would do yourself. What is said about someone else can also be said about you. Remember, if the shoe fits, wear it.

   A. I will know what it is like to live a rich life.

   B. Maybe someday they will come into fashion.

   C. They certainly look worse on me than a birthday suit.

   D. However, my sister has a lot of money to spend on clothes.

   E. To be honest, I did not say anything without knowing the facts.

   F. This is someone who acts like a good person, but is really a bad person.

   G. You might say when I wear my favorite clothes; I am dressed to the teeth.

Even as I write this story, I am still smiling. The past few weeks have been rather   21    , but when a large number of Smile Cards arrived in my   22   the other day, having traveled all the way from the United States to my home in the Netherlands, I knew things were about to    23     .

I     24     where to leave the cards as I went to bed that night: the train, benches at the station, at work, libraries, mailboxes, the gym - the possibilities were   25     

I woke up, went to work, and afterwards, I went     26     to the shop to buy some candy bars, planning to leave them as anonymous(匿名的)    27     for people on the train. However,  28    my early morning train, my train home was extremely crowded. An elderly man must have seen me searching for a place to    29     a Smile Card, because he asked me if I was looking for something.

Right then I    30     that my first Smile Card would not be anonymous. With a big smile and cheeks    31   with excitement, I told him that I    32   what I was looking for,    33    him the candy bar and Smile Card I had in my hands. He had only just finished reading the card    34        I arrived at my stop, but he was still smiling and    35   his candy as I waved at him from the    36    .

Despite having worked a full day, I almost bounced(跳) home. Before I entered my   37  , I delivered a few more Smile Cards and candy bars to my neighbors’ mailboxes. I added an    38     candy bar for a neighbor who I knew was in a difficult financial    39  , but who I saw working hard every day to get the very best for her young son. I figured they both    40     a tasty little treat.

Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent polls (民意调查), sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy. Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable, nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.

A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.

The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunities to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.

Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those who have good relationship with other family members are happier than those who live alone. Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factors.

It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time.

Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods, but are not necessarily happier adults.

The best formula (准则) for happiness is to be able to develop AQ (Adversity Quotient that can be of great benefit when running into trouble), to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.

47. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.

A. happiness is neither predictable nor apparent

B. a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happy

C. the rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group

D. happiness is not necessarily connected to one’s situation in society

48. According to the article, happiness is greatly dependent upon _____.

A. a happy childhood in which one can do whatever he likes

B. great wealth with which one can buy anything

C. a feeling that conditions are becoming for the better

D. a college degree that can help one achieve great success

49. The letters AQ in the last paragraph most probably mean _____.

   A. ambition to defeat others in a severe competition

B. ability to overcome difficulty and get out of embarrassing situation

C. methods of solving difficult problems and challenges in life

D. attitudes towards severe competition especially in trouble

50. The best title of this passage may be _____.

A. What Does Happiness Consist in      B. Happiness and Unhappiness

   C. Different Kinds of Happiness         D. Causes of Happiness and Unhappiness

Talking to yourself may seem a little shameful. But there’s no need for embarrassment. Talk to ourselves, whether out loud or silently in our heads, is a valuable tool for thought. Far from being a sign of mental illness, self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities, and regulate our emotions.

Take a trip to any preschool and watch a small child playing with her toys. You are very likely to hear her talking to herself: offering herself directions and giving voice to her frustrations. Psychologists refer to this as private speech: language that is spoken out loud but directed at the self.

Self-talk has many advantages. If you want proof, turn on the sports channel. You’re bound to see an athlete preparing himself with a quick phrase or scolding himself after a bad shot. Andy Murray owed his 2012 US Open victory to a self-talk he gave himself in front of a changing-room mirror. Gymnastics star Laurie Hernandez in Rio. The athletes are doing it for good reason: Self-talk has been shown to bring benefits in sports as diverse as badminton, darts and wrestling.

Those of us who lack the talent of a Hernandez or a Murray are also likely to talk to ourselves aloud, particularly when the task is difficult and the conditions stressful. Conducting a dialogue with ourselves--asking questions of the self and providing answers--seem to be a particularly good way of solving problems and working through ideas. Both kinds of self-talk--the silent and the vocal – seem to bring a range of benefits to our thinking.

32. Why does the small child talk to herself while playing with toys?

       A. She is suffering from mental disease.        B. She is communicating with toys.

       C. She is busy directing her toys.                         D. She is adjusting her mood.

33. According to Andy Murray, he won 2012 US Open because ___________.

       A. he gave himself a private speech                     B. he criticized himself after a bad try

       C. he had a great talent for tennis                        D. he got well trained for tennis

34. Which is NOT the benefit of self-talk?

       A. It can help us plan well.                             B. It can help us manage activities.

       C. It can help us identify mental illness.                D. It can help us adjust emotions.

35. What can we infer about self-talk from the last paragraph?

       A. Only players like to talk to themselves.

       B. We are likely to have vocal self-talk while doing tough tasks.

       C. The silent self-talk brings more benefits to us than the vocal self-talk.

       D. Self-talk is no more than meaningless talks.

It is said that the engines of Flight MH370____while flying over the Indian Ocean,with all on board killed .

 A. broke out      B. ran out         C. gave out         D. wore out
