第二节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)
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 36 .
Once I heard a bald man said, “whenever I enter a room 37 I see is hair.” Once you’ve 38 what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will 39 make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different 40 , or forget about it and 41 the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have a relatively 42 life, yet are essentially unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 43 remain happy.
The first 44 is gratitude. All happy people are 45 . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 46 , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret is 47 that happiness is a byproduct of something else. The most obvious 48 are those pursuits that give our lives purpose —anything 49 studying insects to playing baseball. The more
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our 51 has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We 52 a spiritual faith, or a philosophy, it should 53 this truth: if you choose to find the 54 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 55 your decision to make.

第三部分阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
Before Alaska became part of the U.S., it had been owned by Russia. Trading posts and small settlements were scattered along the coast. The rest of land was left unexplored. The Russians were mainly interested in the wealth of furs from the vast herds of seals they found there.
By the mid-1800’s, most of the seal herds had been wiped out, and Russia no longer wanted to keep Alaska. William Seward, Secretary of State for President Johnson, believed the United States should buy Alaska from Russia. President Johnson wasn’t so sure it was a wise way to spend U.S. money, but he agreed to let Seward discuss it with the Russians. Acting quickly, Seward made a deal. On March 30, 1867, he signed an agreement for the U.S. to pay seven million dollars for the land.
Many people thought it was a foolish waste of America’s money. They called the deal “Seward’s folly”. Then gold was discovered in Alaska and public opinion changed quickly.
Seward did not live to see the true value of Alaska. He died in 1872, five years after making the purchase (购买). Each year, Alaska’s natural resources have brought in many times the $7,000,000 paid for it. Natural gas, coal, oil, lumber, seafood and other minerals, besides the gold first found, have made it a valuable addition to the United States. In 1959, Alaska became the 49th state of the United States.
56. The Russians wanted to sell Alaska because ______.
A. they thought it wasn’t a good place
B. they thought it didn’t belong to Russia
C. they couldn’t find enough seals there
57. When Seward signed the agreement, many people thought ______.
A. he wasted U.S. money
B. it had its true value
C. it was a successful deal
D. he was clever
58. Which of the following things was found first in Alaska?
A. Gas.
B. Coal.
C. Oil.
D. Gold.
59. The best title for this passage would probably be ______.
A. Alaska, a beautiful place
B. Alaska with natural resources
C. Alaska, home to seals
D. Alaska, the 49th state of the U.S.

How long you live has a lot to do with your environment and lifestyle, but exceptional(特别的)long life may have even more to do with your genes. For the first time, researchers have discovered a genetic recipe(基因谱)that accurately predicts who may live to 100 and beyond.
Analysis shows that 90% of the participants who lived to 100 had at least one of the signature genetic clusters(标志基因组). Dr. Thomas Perls at the Boston University School of Medicine said, “We realize this is a complex genetic puzzle. There is a long way for us to go to understand how the integration(融合)of these genes—not just with themselves but with environmental factors—is playing a role in this long life puzzle.”
Perls has studied many factors that contribute to long life, and he is the first to acknowledge that living longer isn’t likely to be simply a matter of genes. His pre vious work has shown, for example, that among most elderly people who live into their 70s and 80s, about 70% can owe their long life to environmental factors such as not smoking; eating a healthy, low-fat, low-calorie diet; and remaining socially engaged and mentally active throughout life.
It seems clear that those who live extremely long are benefiting from a special DNA. In fact, Perls believes that the older a person gets, the more likely it is that his or her genes are contributing to those extended years.
60. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?
A. Most long-living people have special long-life-related genes.
B. Ninety percent of the participants lived to 100 years of age.
C. All the long-living people have only one signature genetic cluster.
D. Scientists know how the integration of the genes helps people live long.
61. Perls may most likely agree that .
A. most people living extremely long benefit from not smoking
B. living longer just depends on certain genetic recipes
C. environmental factors play an important role in long-living
D. being mentally active has nothing to do with living an old age
62. Which of the following is FALSE according to the text?
A. Remaining socially engaged helps a person to live long.
B. A genetic recipe can accurately predict who may live to 100 and beyond.
C. Perls is the first to think living longer is just a matter of genes.
D. The older he gets, the more likely the genes contribute to his extended years.
63. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Genes May Predict Who Lives to 100
B. Environment And Genes
C. Genes, the Secret of Long Living
D. Lifestyle And Genes

countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly increased by foreign language skills.
Deeply involved with this new technology is a kind of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts.
Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she can be sure that th e overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to manage back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more common.
Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.
English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job i n business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.
The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign customers over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.
64. With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, businesspeople ________.
A. are eager to work overseas
B. have to get familiar with modern technology
C. are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operations
D. are attaching more importance to their overseas business
65. According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today?
A. Ability to speak the customer’s language.
B. Connections with businesses overseas.
C. Technical know-how.
D. Business experience.
66. The advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can ________.
A. fast-forward their proposals to headquarters
B. better control the whole negotiation process
C. easily make friends with businesspeople abroad
D. easily find new approaches to meet market needs

Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course." she said.
"Can we write him a letter?"
She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."
My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.
"No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was
"Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
"Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."
The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, dart up, and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditary. I prayed to be a balloon.

It is very important to make a student feel safe in the classroom, because students study well in the environment where they feel safe and respected. All students including those with learning difficulties can study well if they feel mentally and emotionally comfortable in the classroom. In addition, when feeling safe in an atmosphere, they can openly express their concerns. Therefore, teachers are required to devote time to making students feel comfortable in class and must view it as an investment in strengthening the teacher-student relationship.
What makes a student feel safe in the classroom depends upon the quality of the relationship he shares with his teachers. With this aim, it’s quite necessary to build trust in the classroom. Trust building is a slow process which can be achieved through healthy interaction (互动) between students and teachers. Also developing respect for each other is necessary. When teachers truly listen to students and respect in the classroom is mutual between teacher and student, a productive classroom can be formed. Teachers feel good about the lessons they teach and students are engaged in learning. Teachers must try to build small but real life connections with the students and when one is able to do that, it creates a more relaxed atmosphere that supports studies. Gradually, students will feel a greater level of trust in teachers.
A positive environment is also very important for students to feel safe in the classroom. To create such an environment, teachers must display positive messages and quotes in the classroom and even ask students to contribute them. Make it a rule that only positive things will be talked about in the classroom. Prevent students from talking about other students’ private lives in an unkind way and stop them from bullying (欺凌) each other. Also, the most important is that teachers must try to make all students feel like they are an important part of the
