[第八单元]; 第5小题：A 主旨题。

全文通过马克的故事讲述了每个人都可以从身边的事做起让世界有所改变。

所以选 A（个体如何改变世界）
43.
Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier – a relative, an acquaintance or, of ten someone we barely know. I once met a young man who struck me as particularly successful and happy. He spok e of his love for his beautiful wife and their three daughters, and of his joy at being a radio talk show host in a city he loved. I remember thinking that he was one of those lucky few for whom everything goes effortles sly right. Then we started talking about the Internet. He blessed its existence, he told me, because he could look up information on multiple sclerosis – the terrible disease afflicting his wife. I felt like a fool for assuming nothing unhappy existed in his life.
One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest f law. It’s like looking at the tiled ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is missing. As a ba ld man told me, “Whenever I enter a room, all I see is hair.” Once you’ve determined what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will really make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different tile, or forget about it and focus on the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have had a relatively easy life yet are essentially unhappy. And we know pe ople who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. The first secret is gratitude. All happy peopl e are grateful. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. The second secret is realizing that happiness is a byproduc t of something else. The most obvious sources are those pursuits that give our lives purpose. Finally, we need a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life. If you choose to find the positive in virtually every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed.
[共5题]
(1) What is NOT mentioned about the young man the author met?

(A) to replace it
(B) to forget it
(C) to think about whether it will bring you happiness or not
(D) to obtain it
正确答案：C
(4) What will help us to remain smile in life according to the passage?
(A) gratitude
(B) dream
(C) life philosophy
(D) all of the above
正确答案：D
(5) Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

[第八单元]; 第5小题： A 细节题。

文中作者讲述了如何才能幸福，告诉我们幸福在很大程度上是可以驾驭的。

它需要我们奋力去争取，而消极等待是换不来幸福感的。

因此选 A（幸福是可以掌控的）
44.
Many people think that when they become rich and successful, happiness will naturally follow. Let me tell you that nothing is further from the truth. The world is full of very rich people who are as miserable as if they were living in hell. We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from dru gs. Quite clearly, money is not the only answer to all problems.
Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness. Lottery winnings do not bring happiness. Gambling winnings do not bring happiness. To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your su ccessful work, in your contribution towards others’ happiness and in your wealth you have earned through your own honest effort. If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means, you will know that it is ill-earned m oney. If you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others, you will not be happy with it. You will think you are a base person.
Long-term happiness is based on honesty, productive work, contribution, and self-estee
m. Happiness is not an end; it is a process. It is a continuous process of honest, productive work which ma kes a real contribution to others and makes you fee l you are a useful, worthy person. As Dr. Wayne wrote, “Th ere is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.” There is no use saying “Someday when I achieve these goal s, when I get a car, build a house and own my own business, then I will be really happy.” Life just does not work that way. If you wait for certain things to happen and depend on external circumstances of life to make y ou happy, you will always feel unfulfilled. There will always be something missing.
[共5题]
(1) What does “nothing is further from the truth” mean?
(A) Something. is completely untrue.
(B) Something is completely true.
(C) We can find out the truth.
(D) We cannot find out the truth.
正确答案：A
(2) What are the secrets to happiness in the autho r’s mind?

(B) contribution to other’happiness
(C) honest effort
(D) all of the above.
正确答案：D
(3) Which of the following is not dishonest means for wealth?
(A) lottery winning
(B) gambling winnings
(C) hard work
(D) taking advantage of others
正确答案：C
(4) What does the sentence “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.” mean according to the passa ge?
(A) Happiness is not an end; it is a process.
(B) People do not know how to get happiness.
(C) It is hard to get happiness.
(D) Happiness is what you feel.
正确答案：A
(5) What is the meaning of the word “unfulfilled”?
(A) uncontrolable
(B) impolite
(C) dissatisfied
(D) abnormal
正确答案：C
参考答案：
[第八单元]; 第5小题：C 推断题。

根据文章的第三段原句“If you wait for certain things to happen and dep end on external circumstances of life to make you happy, you will always feel unfulfilled”fulfill 的意思是“不满意的、不满足的”。

因此选 C

The World Trade Organization (WTO), founded on January 1, 1995, aims to encourage international tr ade to flow as freely as possible, making sure that trade agreements are respected and that any disputes can b e settled．
In the five years since its founding, the WTO has become well known as one of the world's most powerful economic organizations, taking its place alongside the World Bank and International Monetary Fund
(国际货币基金组织)．
The system of global rules for international trade, however, dates back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs (关税) and Trade (GATT) was formed after World War II．
As time went by, it became clear that the GATT had two major drawbacks—the limited areas of t rade it covered, and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes．
After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994, the so-called Uruguay Round (乌拉圭回合谈判) finally gave birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes and to form new rules cove ring trade in services and intellectual property．
Even after seven years of talks and with 22,500 pages of agreements reached problems remained, especially in the difficult-to-deal-with areas of agriculture and services．
[共5题]
(1) What is the purpose of the WTO?
(A) To encourage international trade to flow freely．
(B) To make sure that trade agreements are respected．
(C) To settle any disputes．
(D) All of the above
正确答案：D
(2) According to the passage ,the GATT stopped working_______．
(A) in 1948
(B) in 1994
(C) after World War Ⅱ ended
(D) during the seven years of the Uruguay Round talk
正确答案：B
(3) The WTO is better than the GATT in that_____．
(A) it can settle disputes in more areas of international trade
(B) it enables its members to sign agreements more easily
(C) it deals with problems in agriculture and services more effectively
(D) it pays more attention to service and intellectual property
正确答案：A
(4) The word “drawbacks ”in Paragraph 4 means ______．
(A) Weak points
(B) Strong points
(C) Improvements
(D) Changes
正确答案：A
(5) According to the last two paragraphs ,which of the following statements is true?
(A) The WTO is the world's most powerful economic organization
(B) The GATT was founded in Uruguay in 1995
(C) The WTO has an effective system to settle disputes and to form new rules
(D) All the countries in the world are member nations of the WTO
正确答案：C
参考答案：
[第八单元]; 第5小题：C 细节题。

从文中第二段可知WTO与国际货币基金组织都是世界上最权威有力的经济组织，故答案 A 错误；从文中第三段可知 GATT于1948年形成，故答案 B 错误。

文中第五段确实提到 WTO 具备更有效的解决贸易争端和建立新规则的体制；根据常识可知并不是每个国家都是世界贸易组织的成员。

因此选 C。
