III. Reading (30’)
A
Teenagers at one German school are learning how to achieve happiness alongside other traditional subjects such as math and languages．
The class sit in a circle with their eyes shut and they count from one to ten, someone starts，the next voice comes from the far right，a third from the other side．
The aim of the game is to listen for an opportunity to shout out the number without clashing(冲突)with another voice or leaving a pause．On the first try，most of the young Germans try to be first，while a few are too shy to join in，but by the fifth time round, they develop a rhythm．The message：give other people space but also confidently claim your own．This is a requirement for social well--being．
The Willy Hellpach School in Heidelberg is the first in the nation to develop a happiness course---It is intended for students preparing for university entrance exams．
“The course isn‟t there to make you happy，”Ernst Fritz Sehubert．the school principal warned pupils，“but rather to help you discover the ways to become happy．”
Cooking a meal together is one of the class exercises．Improving body language under the
guidance of two professional actresses is another．
The course is taught for three periods a week．Despite the happy subject，the pupils themselves insist it is no laughing matter．
“In the fi rst period，we had to each say something positive about another member of the class and about ourselves．No laughing at people，”said Fanny，17．
Research by the school shows it is not the first to start happiness classes：they also exist at some US universities，but are mainly based on positive thinking，using findings from studies of depression．
“That would be too one-sided for us．We want to show how delicious food or exercise can help，too，”the principal said．

“When one of the doctors criticizes (批评) me, I get defensive. I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that I‟m not wrong.” Says Viola, a nurse. This is a common reaction to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism.
When Sol was criticized by his new empl oyer for not having made a sale, Sol‟s reaction was to feel sorry for himself. “I had put everything I had into making that 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. Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said. Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person‟s position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it.
After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be “nothing”. “I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there,” says Sheila. “His criticism didn‟t really have anything 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. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the battle isn‟t worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.
31. When Sol was criticized by his employer, he __________.
A. was sad and self-pitying
B. was angry and gave up his job.
C. was sorry for what he did
D. argued bitterly with his employer
32. According to the writer, you should take time to think about criticism because _________.
A. people may have a mistaken idea of what you did
B. you should welcome other people‟s opinions
C. people may discuss it with you in depth
D. you need time to understand yourself
33. When the writer says that “the best answer may be …nothing‟, he means you may decide __________.
A. to take no notice of the criticism
B. to argue with your boss
C. you need to change your job.
D. you‟ve done nothing wrong
34. The writer thinks Sheila can decide to leave her job because her boss _______.
A. didn‟t like her appearance
B. refused to change his opinion
C. made an unreasonable criticism
D. refused to talk to her about the criticism
35. The last paragraph mainly tells us to _________.
A. take time to cool down.
B. react to criticism quickly.
C. take action quickly.
D. take positive action.
C
Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform （制服）of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they
look more professional than civilian clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible (可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.
Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least. Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.
36. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality ________.
A. still judge a man by his clothes
B. hold the uniform in such high regard
C. enjoy having a professional identity
D. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform
37. People are accustomed to thinking that a man in uniform ________.
A. suggests quality work
B. loses his social identity
C. appears to be more practical
D. looks superior to a person in civilian clothes
38. The chief function of a uniform is to ________.
A. provide practical benefits to the wearer
B. make the wearer catch the pubic eye
C. in spire the wearer‟s confidence in himself
D. provide the wearer with a professional identity
39. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms ________.
A. are usually helpful
B. have little or no individual freedom
C. tend to lose their individuality
D. enjoy greater popularity
40. The passage is mainly about _____________.
A. uniforms and society
B. the importance of wearing a uniform
C. practical benefits of wearing a uniform
D. advantages and disadvantages of uniforms
