A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.
Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn't find him. The mother felt very sad and didn't know how to face her husband.
When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said “I love you, darling.”
The son was missing. If she had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family's relationship became stronger over that time.
Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.
(1)What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “the apple of their eye”?
A.A person who always has a sweet smile in their opinion.
B.A person who is loved more than anyone else in their opinion.
C.A person who is as pretty as an apple in their opinion.
D.A person who looks like an apple in their opinion.
(2)Why didn't the father pick the boy up himself?
A.He was very lazy.
B.He thought the mother had picked him up.
C.He was too tired to do it.
D.He forgot to pick him up.
(3)What can we learn from this passage?
A.Learn to forgive others.
B.Love is the most important thing.
C.Be careful in everything you do
D.Everyone can make mistakes.
(4)What do you think of the husband?
A.Warm-hearted.
B.Broad-minded.

Almost everyone wants to be happy, but not all know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future that we fail to enjoy the present, for example, getting into college or getting a good job. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
(1)The best title of this passage is ___________.
A.Good Friends Make You Happy
B.Ideas for Helping Other People to Be Happy
C.Money Makes You Happy
D.The Secret of Happiness
(2)The passage gives us ___________ pieces of advice on happiness.
A.one
B.two
C.three
D.four
(3)The writer thinks that ___________.
A.doing good things for someone can make you happier
B.hobbies take up too much time
C.everyone knows how to live a happier life
D.It's wrong to spend time on work

Enough sleep is important to health. The amount of sleep needed depends on the age of the person and the conditions in which sleep takes place. The young may need more sleep than the old, but usually eight hours are enough for the health of grown-ups. Some can do with less than this amount, but others may need more. Every person knows his own need. It is then a matter of good judgement to satisfy his need. Sleep should always be enough to make one bring back his strength and get ready for a day's work.
Fresh air is necessary to sound sleep. It is not without reason for some people to think that it is practicable to sleep in the open air. When one can keep himself warm, out-of-door sleeping probably gives the body its most complete relaxation (放松).
Ability (能力) to sleep lies largely in habit. The conditions referred to only lead to sleep. Out-of-door exercises, a good habit of regular hours and the avoidance (避免) of late eating and worry, which are largely within the control of any person, are all helpful to sound sleep.
A bath at bedtime, neither hot nor cool but of body temperature may be helpful to sleep. Sleep-producing drug (药) should never be taken except when suggested by a doctor.
(1)Which of the following is helpful to good sleep?
A.Keeping good habits.
B.Staying up late.
C.Eating something at bedtime.
D.Forming the habit of taking sleep-producing drug.
(2)Before going to bed, you'd better not_______.
A.take a bath
B.do any housework
C.think a lot
D.go out for relaxation
(3)The amount of sleep a person needs has something to do with       .
A.his age
B.his height
C.his weight
D.his character
