Ⅰ.完形填空
One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It's like looking at the tiled (铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is __1__.
Once I hear d a bald man said, “Whenever I enter a room __2__ I see is hair.” Once you've __3__ what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will __4__ make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different tile, or forget about it and __5__ the tiles in your life that are not missing.

Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our __16__ has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We __17__ a spiritual faith, or a philosophy, which should __18__ this truth: if you choose to find the __19__ in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is __20__ your decision to make.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
You may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years，this association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty (贫困) and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small businesses. To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the world's m ost promising “changemakers” seeking to solve urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.
Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change.
The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If
you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it.
The young in particular are willing to accept this concept
because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy,
contributing adult. In fact, it is many young people's ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions. An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka, which handled the rubbish problem facing the city, helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there.
When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka's streets, attracting rats and disease, they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste. So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把……制成堆肥) this waste. They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical fertilizers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years. At first, they were refused, but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made, the project took off. In 2009 sales were $ 14,000.
Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious, practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.
语篇解读：本文介绍了一个公益组织Ashoka组织人们和贫穷作斗争，促进教育事业，鼓励人们做小生意，让每个人都成为产生变化的人。

故A正确。

2．The underlined word “them”in Paragraph 3 probably refers to “________”．A．the local farmers B．Masqsood and Iftekhar
C．Drayton and his team D．the poor people in Dhaka

根据文章第三段“They knew that they would have a market ... in the soil over the years.”可知，Masqsood 和Iftekhar 让当地人把垃圾变成肥料，可以解决他们购买化肥的问题，开始的时候人们拒绝了他们。

但是当他们知道这样可以挣钱的时候就开始做了。

这里的them 应该是指在Dhaka的当地的穷人。

故D正确。

3．It can be concluded from the passage that anyone can become a changemaker if he ________.
A．considers Drayton's concept
B．gets permission from Ashoka
C．tries to improve social conditions
D．is a young, happy and healthy adult

根据第二段“The important thing is ... improve social conditions.” 可知只要你愿意解决你所关心的问题，只要能够提高社会生活的条件，你就可以成为changemakers。

故C正确。

4．The author's attitude towards Ashoka's program can be described as ________.
A．changing B．forgiving
C．cautious D．positive

3．their 这里表示“他们的女儿”，故用their。

4．When 分析句子结构可知，__4__Shirley was three years old 作时间状语，故用连词When 引导。

5．later 分析句子结构可知，空处作时间状语，表示“后来，随后”，故用later。

9．was elected 结合上句中的时间状语In 1964 可知，这里指发生在过去的事情，应用一般过去时，且elect和She 之间为被动关系，故填was elected。

10．because 根据语境，空处后面的句子为原因状语从句，故用连词because引导。

The discussion about happiness has recently attracted people's attention. Our English teacher car ried out a survey about “the feeling of happiness” in our class. The results are as follows.
50% of the students feel happy about their comfortable life without worrying

about food and clothing. About 30% of the students find happiness from their achievements in studies and their confidence in going to key universities. While the rest think that if they have hobbies and dreams, they will be filled with happiness.
To achieve happiness, as far as I am concerned, we must keep a good state of mind and develop a sense of self­worth. We can derive self­worth from giving help to those in need, such as showing much concern for the aged and the poor. What's more, doing our best to work hard at our lessons and improve our all­round abilities really count in making us happy.。
