Talk about happiness
We should not hesitate too much during the first half of our lives, while we should not regret at what we’ve done during the other half. We should seize every opportunity to find a way out in our lives, for it goes off swiftly. We should say something urgent slowly, something serious clearly, something small humorously and something unsure cautiously. We should never say something that did not happen, something that you cannot do, something that does harm to others, and something that is disgusting. We should tell others our happiness on specific occasions and should not tell anyone our unhappiness. Do not easily say something about others. We should follow our own heart and interest, and fulfill what we should do instead of merely paying lip service and looking forward to the future.
Everyone is longing for a happy life, but owning wealth does not necessarily mean owning happiness. To truly reach happiness, we need to know how to get on with others. So we need to understand what happiness is really about and achieve what we desire.
We need to know and understand happiness before we finally get it. A smart man must know to do something good even though it may be small, and not to do something evil even though it may be tiny in the course of socializing. As long as we keep a kind heart and do everything morally and legally, we can live a peaceful life. But if we keep an evil heart and do whatever we want, we are indeed digging a tomb for ourselves. A smart man knows to learn a lesson from his falls, for he knows that every setback is a precious experience leading to happiness in the future. He will not waste his time in criticizing others. Instead, he tends to spend more time seeking his own happiness. He knows to keep a heart of conscience and not to spread others’ mistakes. He also knows to think before he leaps so that he will not feel regretful afterwards. Moreover, he knows to tolerate others, so he can naturally lead a happy life.
Without happiness, one will feel terribly miserable, for he always insists that he has done the right thing all the time and that others often do wrong to him. He blames every mistake on others or the environment instead of reflecting on himself, which keeps him farther and farther away from happiness. A celebrity once said, “Nobody intends to make mistakes. One makes mistakes because of his ignorance.” Therefore, if someone makes mistakes, we need to care about him, forgive him and enlighten him by setting a good example to him instead of losing temper and hating him. Otherwise, we are also ignorant like him, for we also make a stupid mistake that leads us farther from happiness.
In order to possess a happy life, we need to know more about others, about the society, about our culture and history. We should be patriotic(愛國的), obey the law and realize our own responsibility, and then we will definitely have a happy life.

“There are no real friends or enemies in the business world”. This saying may have been on the minds of bosses at China’s main online video providers, Youku.com Inc and Tudou Holdings Ltd, when the one-time rivals（對手）agreed to merge (合并) on March 12. The deal will create the country’s largest company in the online video industry, Youku Tudou Inc.
Three months ago, the two companies were involved in a copyright dispute. On December 12, Tudou charged Youku.com with illegally airing the entertainment series, Kangxi is coming. Tudou was the only company which had rights to the series. In response, Youku filed a lawsuit（訴訟） against Tudou, claiming the company was broadcasting more than 50 Youku-owned TV series.
According to analysts, the deal came out of the market battle between the two companies. Each spent so much money buying licensed content that they ended up in the red last year. “Funding pressures are the main reason for the deal,” said Shi Jialong, a Hong Kong-based analyst with CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets. “After the merger, there might be a fall in copyright purchase prices, which is good for the industry in the short term.”
The new company will face competition from Web portals(門戶網(wǎng)站) providing similar services. Youku owned 21.8 percent of Chin’s online video market in the last quarter of last year and Tudou 13.7 percent, but Sohu.com followed close on the heels with 13.3 percent, according to domestic research company Analysys International.
Some analysts do not feel the deal will secure the market for Youku Tudou. Shi Yu, CEO of media company KU6, said the merger was unlikely to have a “one plus one more than two” effect. In his opinion, video-hosting sites need to find new ways of generation profit to succeed in the market.
小題1:The main reason for Youku.com Inc and Tudou Holdings Ltd to merge is that           .
A．the two companies were in great demand of money
B．they were charge with illegally airing the entertainment series
C．the two companies created the country’s largest company
D．they intended to cut down the prices of copyrights
小題2:The underlined words “in the red” in the third paragraph mean “         ”.
A．in a big fightB．in a great trouble C．a(chǎn)t a lossD．a(chǎn)t a distance
小題3:What do the last two paragraphs imply?
A．Shi Yu doesn’t think it a good idea for the two companies to merge.
B．The merger is really a win-win deal for the companies involved.
C．The merger may not promise a bright future for Youku Tudou.
D．The new company will be more competitive after the merger.
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The merge will benefit the online video industry to some degree.
B．The two companies spent lots of money building video-hosting sites.
C．Youku Tudou Inc currently controls half of the online video market in China.
D．The new company has taken charged of all the entertainment series.

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters(學(xué)問). Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”, she said again, “is for Elizabeth.” I never saw her anger, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was too emotional. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed, I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive（原諒）me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written in, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside－a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you chose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
小題1:The writer began to love her mother’s desk _______.
A．a(chǎn)fter Mother died.B．before she became a writer.
C．when she was a child.D．when Mother gave it to her.
小題2:The passage shows that _____.
A．Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter.
B．Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done.
C．Mother cared much about her daughter in words.
D．Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words.
小題3:The word gulf in the paragraph 2 means ______.
A．deep understanding between the old and the young.
B．different ideas between the mother and the daughter.
C．free talks between mother and daughter.
D．part of the sea going far in land.
小題4:What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?
A．She had never received the letter.
B．For years, she often talked about the letter.
C．She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.
D．She read the letter again and again till she died.
小題5:What’s the best title of the passage?
A．My Letter to Mother.B．Mother and Children.
C．My Mother’s Desk.D．Talks between Mother and Me.

I was packed and ready to leave for my two days’ trip. My mind had been filled with work and with so many small things to deal with. As I got into the car to leave, my thoughts turned to my children. I’d been preparing for the trip for the last few days, and now I’d be away for a few days.
How to keep in touch with your kids during busy time is often a father’s problem. Men tend to focus on one thing extremely well for long periods, but this can lead to trouble. Shifting(移開) from work to your family life isn't always the easiest thing to do. And if you don’t show your kids that you’re thinking about them, they may think that you are not.
As I started down the road, I suddenly stopped the car and turned around. I drove back to my house, found a couple of cards, and wrote a short message to each of my children. I put each in a “secret” place where I knew they’d find it.
When I called the next night, it was clear that they’d received the cards. “Daddy, I got your card,” they both said excitedly. “When did you do that?”
My heart was warmed when I heard this. It was such a small thing. But it had a big impact(影響) on my kids. It was their “proof” that I was thinking about them. And it was encouragement for me to continue to do the small things that have a big impact.
小題1: From the passage we can infer that the author thinks a father should ______.
A．care for his kids, no matter how busy he is
B．have a big impact on his kids
C．spend some time playing with his kids
D．stay at home as long as possible
小題2:Before leaving for the trip the author considered ________.
A．preparing some food for the trip
B．buying some nice gifts for his children
C．doing something to show his concern for his kids
D．telling his children to be careful at home
小題3:The author’s kids were excited when they answered the phone because _______.
A．their father had thought highly of them
B．they had found the cards from their father
C．they had done something good at home
D．their father told them he would be back soon
小題4:What does the underlined word “that” in the fourth paragraph refer to?
A．Packing luggage.
B．Reaching the hotel.
C．Writing short messages.
D．Going back home.

A．All for the children
