1.There is one thing that everyone wants more than anything else．Some people try to get it by making money．They think that when they have enough money to buy such things as houses, farms, and cars, they will have the one thing that everyone wants. 　　Other people believe that if they know enough they will find this thing．They study all their lives in search of it．Still others think that if they have power, they will find this thing．They keep telling themselves: when I am a boss, I will no longer have to search for this thing． 　　What is it that everyone wants more than anything else? What is it that all of us keep working and striving for each day? It is happiness. 　　　Happiness is a strange thing．It does not mean the same to all men．What will make one man happy may not make another man happy．Some men say that happiness comes from helping others; other men say that happiness comes from making life more pleasant for everyone．What do you mean when you say "That makes me happy"? 　　Read what different people have said about happiness．Perhaps you will learn something that will bring you peace of mind, comfort, money or it may bring you what you search for --happiness．57 What will make one man happy may not make another man happy．This sentence means __.

3.Of all Barry H．Landau's anecdotes about his friendships with presidential dogs, perhaps the best is the one about the time the Clinton White House called to postpone his play-date with Buddy． 　　Yes, Landau is both human and an adult, a 60-year-old author, presidential historian, former White House protocol officer and memorabilia collector．But so enamored is he of dogs, and so well connected to a succession of presidents, that he had an appointment for a South Lawn romp one day with Buddy, Bill Clinton's Labrador retriever (拉布拉多犬) . 　　Logistics got in the way, though, and hence Clinton secretary Betty Currie's apologetic voice mail left at the Smithsonian Institution, where Landau was doing research: "I'm sorry, but we'll have to reschedule Mr．Landau's play-date with Buddy." 　　Not surprisingly, this is a happy week for Landau, with the new Obama family dog, Bo, joining a White House tradition that dates to George Washington．It's one that Landau feels is invaluable to a presidency. 　　"Having a dog just humanizes a president," he says．"It completes the picture．It's something people can relate to." And Landau has related to the best of them．He's known about 25 White House dogs since the Eisenhower administration．Among the presidential-pooch memorabilia in his Manhattan apartment are matching orange inaugural dog coats worn by LBJ's twin beagles (小猎犬) , Him and Her, and a photo of Landau kissing Clipper, JFK's German shepherd.Where does Landau live?

5.根据以下材料，回答48-51题 “When one of the doctors criticizes(批评)me，I get defensive：I feel like a child again，being scolded．and l want to explain that l’m not wrong．”says Viola，a nurse．This is a common reaction(反应)to criticism，but not a good one．There are better ways of dealing with criticism． (1)Try to be objective(客观)．When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not havingmade a sale，Sol’s reaction Was to feel sorry for himself．“I had put everything I had into makingthat sale，”Sol says，“and I felt that I had failed as a person．I had to learn through experience not to react like that to each failure．” (2)Take time to cool down．Rather than reacting immediately to criticism，take some time tothink over what was said．Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the otherperson’s position．The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it． (3)Take positive(积极的)action．After you cool down，consider what you can do about thesituation．The best answer may be“nothing”．“I finally realized that my boss was having personalproblems and taking them out on me because l was there，”says Sheila．“His criticisms didn’t reallyhave anytlling to do with my work，so nothing I said or did was going to change them．”In Sheila’s case，the best way to deal with it was to leave her job．However，that’s an extreme reaction．Youmay simply explain your opinion without expecting an in—depth discussion．You may even decide．thatthe battle isn’t worth fighting this time．The key，in any case，is to have a reasonable plan．When the writer says that“the best answer may be‘nothing’”，he means you may decide．

6.We all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find themgoing above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in theprocess.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditionalHerding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and areoften able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many differentfields, including specialist search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力)and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down" time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is notfor the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working three to four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance,includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent (气味) andthen follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsedbuildings and snow slide.Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__

8.Passage TwoBEIJING(Associated Press ) --China has a growing middle class, a tradition (传统) of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. Selling educational toys should be easy.While China may be the world's biggest toy-maker. Much of the best is exported (出口). Department stores here do not have enough high-quality toys.

Estes, BabyCare's president. "It starts during pregnancy (孕期) , when the anxiety and needs are highest. " BabyCare works on a one-to-one basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers-paid by Baby-Care-advise parents, explaining toys that are designed for children at each stage (阶段) of deBabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo.

Passage TwoTom was aged four but he was talking like a two-year-old baby. He was saying such things as“kick ball" and “want car”，and using lots of one-word sentences. He should have been saying some really long sentences and telling stories with them. He wasn' t. Something had gone trribly wrong.Quite a few children have what is called a“language delay". For some reason they don't learn to speak as quickly as they should. Their friends shoot ahead and they’re left behind. As a result, they get very lonely. Nobody wants to talk to you if you can' t talk back.Can anything be done to help these children? Yes.

The speeh therpist played some games with him and heard how he talked. She made a recording of his speech, and chatted to his mom and dad about his background.They’d taken Tom to see a doctor,but the doctor hadn’t found anything wrong with him.He seemed peretly normal in every way- except he just wasn talking.Afer Tom and his parents had gone home, the therapist listened carefully to the recording she' d made .Then she looked at a chart which showed how language developed in children aged two,three,and four. She could see Tom was a long way behind.The next step, she deided, was to teach Tom how to say some new sentences like”kick a red ball,”and”the clown is kicking a ball.”Tom didn’t get the new sentences right straight away.But therapist was very patient,and after a few more visit he started to make progress.What did the speech therapist do to help Tom?

18.Sometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government' s efforts to improve schools:newstandards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and joblosses. They frighten the school employees, not to mention the students. Instead of making peopleunable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on schoolreform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a morehumane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk andSchneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key tosuccessful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind,todiscuss with openness and honesty what is and isn' t working,to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn' t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adultsin school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity (正直). The challeage isthat our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much effortteachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left af~the last belland those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are uncoasci or unspoken, itbecomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person' s behavior. As we allImam,assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers my think the principal tamlparticular decision based on his career advancement rather than hat" s best for the studeata. don'tfeel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and e~aecmtiatm, trust itiea am the windowand our relationships suffer.According to Paragraph 1,why does the author scratch his head?
