Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don't bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.
Some people believe that if they are wealthy, with the money they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can't be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value(重视) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.
Here are a few ways to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we don't enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.
The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.
Now maybe you know how to find happiness!
( ) 31. Some people who hold a high position in the government think they can _______.
get money and something they can’t buy with money
do what they want to at any time
enjoy health which makes them work hard
take an active part in all kinds of activities every day
( ) 32. The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people _______.
think about getting a good job B. think of presents they don’t like
C. often spend time with close friends D. often spend time on entering the college
( ) 33. The passage mainly tells us _______.
how to find happiness B. how to save happiness
C. to do something good for others D. to value our beliefs or health
C
Mr. Wang is a teacher from Suzhou. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code (二维码). “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate (使产生) the codes, and in the end everything gets easier,” said Wang. “When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat (微信). Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone.”
The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Wang by email, QQ and WeChat. When Wang scans (扫描) his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative (创新的), with many pictures, music and even videos.
Wang’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun.” said Tingting, a student of Wang’s.
“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share.” Guo said. “48 It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students’ work at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.
34. According to the passage, students can keep their homework on ______.
A. WeChat B. QQ C. email D. blog(博客)
35. Wang’s students think the new way is ______.
A. strange B. boring C. interesting D. unnecessary
36. What does “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代)？
A. The paper is not easy to keep. B. Keeping and sharing the code easily.
C. Trying to use new technology in education. D. Education itself is a kind of creation.
37. What’s the main idea of the passage？
A. Teachers needn’t check homework any more.
B. Students needn't hand in homework any more.
C. Using QR codes makes checking homework easier.
D. Some parents are worried about their children.
