Zing! Such is the sound of the towline (拖绳) as it flies from my grasp and the motorboat drags it away.It is also the end of my effort to stand on two blue boards and sail across a lake behind a speedboat.“I've had it, e get me！” I know he can't hear me as he rockets off.Besides, I know what he will say — “It's easy, sweetheart.Just stand up and let the boat do the rest.” Well, I've tried to follow his advice, but my shaky legs tell me it's over.How did it come to this
My father determined that his group of teenagers should learn to water-ski.He knew little about it, but he saw others on the lake with fast crafts (船) and joyful skiers, and decided to join the fun.
On a hot day, he tied the rope and loaded us into life jackets.One by one, he pulled the boys to and from, waving to neighbors on their docks.Then it was the girls' turn.I jumped in the lake, wore the two
heavy skis, pointed them out of the water, and grasped the towline with trembling hands.I had no idea what to do.My father dismissed my fears with a wave of his hand.“Keep the tips up, sweetheart.”
It's time to give up.But here comes my dad dragging the line, ready for me to try again.I signal that I am ready to get back in the boat, but he smiles and yells, “This time will be magic！”
Dad guns the engine.The weight of an entire lake is on my chest，pushing me back.Like a light switched on in a dark room, my father's words show me the way.“Just stand up, angel.Just do it.” And so I did, even though I cried aloud.
I take a deep breath and straighten my legs.My blue skis begin to skim (滑过) the lake, like a seagull scanning for snacks!

B．Her first failure to water-ski.
C．Her touring in a motorboat.

B．To train them to be players.
C．To teach them surviving skills.

√

4．What might be the best title for the text

Why do people long for celebrity news At least some of the hunger centers around schadenfreude — having joy from the suffering of others.People often act as if joy is dependent on achieving material gain.Seeing people that seem to “have it all” suffer (going through divorce, mental illness, etc.) momentarily destroys that thought.And then people can think, “Perhaps it's OK that I don't have my own
television show, and own four large houses.” Let's chat a bit more about schadenfreude and related concepts.If you've been alive a couple of decades, you've certainly seen plenty of examples showing that money does not bring happiness.But what brings happiness One of the keys involves learning to fully attend to and enjoy the present moment — not just learning this as information, but, through practice, developing the skill of living mindfully in this moment.
Other keys to happiness involve developing the skill of compassion (同情) and loving kindness.This may seem strange to readers：developing a skill of compassion Don't you just have or not have compassion There are some types of meditation (冥想) that are designed to develop compassion and loving kindness.
The four related qualities developed by these types of meditation practices are termed：loving kindness, calmness, compassion, and sympathetic joy.Sympathetic joy is the exact opposite of schadenfreude — with sympathetic joy, we get joy from the joy of others.Think of a close family member doing well and notice the joy you feel — that is sympathetic joy.To develop more sympathetic joy, when something good happens to another person, say to yourself (with as much meaning as possible), “I'm happy for you.May your good fortune continue.May your good fortune grow.”
When a person, celebrity or not, is suffering, you can practice a compassion meditation.Close your eyes and imagine a scene that naturally brings forth sympathy, such as hugging a loved one, or holding a baby.Then imagine saying to the person suffering, “May you be free from suffering，” or“May your suffering ease.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了拥有同理心才能带来真正的快乐。
5．What can make us happy according to the author
A．Having a well-paid job.
B．Owning great popularity.
C．Focusing on celebrities' news.
D．Learning to live in the moment.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But what brings happiness One of the keys involves learning to fully attend to and enjoy the present moment ...”可知，学会关注和享受当下，我们才能真正快乐。
√
6．What does the author mainly talk about in paragraph 2
A．Compassion and loving kindness.
B．The origin of love.
C．Happiness and meditation.
D．Meditation practices.
解析：段落大意题。根据第二段首句“Other keys to happiness involve developing the skill of compassion (同情) and loving kindness.”可知，作者在本段主要讲述同情和仁爱。
√
7．Which of the following is sympathetic joy
A．You cheer up when a celebrity gets divorced.
B．You crow over it when your schoolmate gets injured.
C．You're delighted when your classmate wins a competition.
D．You're pleased when a celebrity practices attentively meditation.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第二句可知，有了同理心式的快乐，我们就能从别人的快乐中获得快乐，所以“当你的同学赢得比赛时，你也会感到高兴”符合题意。
√
8．What is the author's purpose of writing the text
A．To show celebrities' real life.
B．To introduce the findings of a study.
C．To stress the importance of happiness.
D．To correct the negative attitudes to other people's sufferings.
√
解析：写作意图题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的探讨和最后一段的建议可知，文章主要讲述了同理心才能带来真正的快乐，纠正了某些人对别人幸灾乐祸的心态，所以作者写这篇文章是为了纠正对别人的痛苦的错误态度。

11 Occasionally during the day stop and evaluate what you're thinking.If you find that your thoughts are mainly negative, try to find a way to put a positive spin on them.
Be open to humor.Give yourself permission to smile or laugh, especially during difficult times.Seek humor in everyday happenings. 12
Surround yourself with positive people.Make sure those in your life are positive, supportive people you can depend on to give helpful advice and feedback.Negative people may increase your stress level and make you doubt your ability to manage stress in healthy ways.

G．Positive thinking doesn't mean that you ignore life's less pleasant situations.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。作者提出遇到生活中不愉快的事情需要去积极思考，并且给出了如何将你的想法从消极转变成积极的一些方式方法，同时也表达了积极思考会减轻我们的压力这样一个观点。
9．选G 根据上文引出了“积极思考”这个话题和下文“Instead, it means ...productive way.”可知，你反而会更积极地去处理不愉快的事。根据此处的转折关系可知，G项“积极思考并不意味着你忽视生活中不愉快的情况”切题。
10．选D 根据上文“You can learn to turn negative thinking into positive thinking.”可知，你可以学习把消极思考转变成积极思考；根据下文“—you're creating a new habit, after all”可知，这种转变不是那么容易的。D项“这个过程简单，但确实需要时间和实践”承上启下，切合题意。
11．选A 根据下文可知，应停下来评估一下自己的想法主要是消极的还是积极的，即通过自我检查来进行判断。
12．选C 根据上文可知，要对幽默持开放态度，要微笑或者大笑。C项“当你可以嘲笑生活时，你会感到压力更小”承接上文，说明笑所带来的益处。
13．选E 根据上文“Practice positive self-talk.Start by following one simple rule”可知，练习积极的自我对话，从遵循一个简单的规则开始，E项“不要对自己说任何你不会对别人说的话”是对该规则的解释。4 / 4
