一、閱讀理解

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中，選出最佳選項。

There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to again think and act honorably when we’re happy. Unfortunately， there is a negative version of this cycle. Dishonorable thoughts lead to dishonorable actions that lead to pain and unhappiness. Unhappiness leads to more dishonorable thoughts. So， strive for the positive cycle. While it can be difficult to start， once it’s started， it’s easy to continue.

The opportunities for expressing honor — and thus for becoming happier — are all around us. In our work-lives we express honor by always doing quality work， never leaving details unattended， working in the company’s best interest， treating customers and employees well， never working in a divisive spirit， and striving to promote harmony.

In our larger lives we express honor through honest and ethical actions， being punctual， doing what we promise， holding ourselves accountable for our actions， treating others with respect， and so on. Although the list is endless， the common theme is a sense of quiet rightness. We feel quiet; at peace with our thoughts and actions.

Many people look to books of laws， or religious teachings to know what is honorable， but you can almost always tell honorable actions by consulting your inner spirit.

Simply ask yourself which course of action creates the least internal and external turmoil in the long run. Predictions of your mental quietude are good guides. If you cheat for something， ask yourself if you would be more or less peaceful; happier or unhappier in the long run; more self-respecting or less; more honorable or not.

If you always choose the honorable route， you are never plagued by the fear of “being discovered” and no one can ever threaten to expose your past. That brings the peace of mind essential for genuine happiness. Happy actions—the physical and mental actions that naturally and automatically， create a strong sense of well-being.

A. honorable and dishonorable actions and thoughts are equal

B. positive cycle can be created by honorable actions

A. goodB. morally correct

答案與解析

閱讀理解

（1）

1. A主旨題。從文章的最后一句話可知答案。

2. B推斷題。由Before you complain about your husband or wife， think of someone who’s crying out to God for a companion可推知。

3. D猜義題。由此詞所在句，特別是but，可推出barren意為“不能懷孕的，沒有生育的”。

4. C細節題。從And when you are tired and complain about your job， think of the unemployed， the disabled and those who wished they had your job和常識可知，殘疾人是不幸的，而選項C的意思恰好相反。

5. B推理題。從第二段的Before you complain about your children， think of someone who desires children but they're barren可知，擁有孩子是一種榮幸。

讀寫任務[one possible version]

Think More about what you have

The writer tells us that everyone should love life and be tolerant， warning us to be positive and not to complain too much.

Many people around me focus on what they want instead of what they have. They just keep expanding their list of desires， which guarantees they remain dissatisfied.

One of my friends， Li Hua， leads a rich life. His parents are busy in operating two international factories， which makes his classmates envy him. However， he feels unhappy because he thinks he is lack of love and care from his parents.

In my opinion， we should think more about what we have. For Li Hua， he should understand his parents how busy they are with their work. If they don’t work or stay at home with him the whole day， can he still get what he wants and leads a rich life? What’s more， his parents work hard in order to create a better condition for him. So he should be grateful for what he has rather than complaining about it. Thus he’ll l feel satisfied and happy.

閱讀理解

1. D推斷題。因本段講“生活的兩個方面”。

2. A推斷題。根據The opportunities for expressing honor — and thus for becoming happier — are all around us.可推出答案。

3. B猜義題。由本句的同位語holding ourselves accountable for our actions等可知答案。

4. C推斷題。作者從頭到尾都是在討論“如何才能做到高尚，高尚能讓我們更加幸?！?。

5. A細節題。由最后一段的第一句話可知。

讀寫任務[one possible version]

We know from this article that honorable actions， such as doing quality work， treating others well， being punctual and doing what we promise， create continuous happiness both physically and mentally.

But not all understand what is real happiness and some people sometimes think wrongly that cheating others， or when working doing as little as possible，is happy.

Once a man who I know picked a bag of money on his way home， he felt very happy at first and wanted to keep it. He later told us that during those days he was always afraid of being discovered and felt guilty. It seemed that there were many eyes on him wherever he was. At last he decided to find the money owner and returned him the money. Then he felt internal and external peace， which really brought him happiness.

So we can know whether we are really happy from our inner spirit.
