All sorts of people are apple
polishers,including politicians and people in high

leader,offered
many gifts to win the support
of George Fox and his party,but failed.
There
are other phrases meaning the same thing as
“apple-polishing”—
“soft-soaping” or
“buttering-up”.A gift is just one way to “soft-
soap” somebody,
or to “butter him up”.Another

someone
high praise—telling him how good he
looks,or how well he speaks,or how talented
and wise he is.
Endless are the ways of

man
can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful

medicine for most
of us,who get so little of it.
We need it to
be more sure of cannot hurt unless we get carried
away by if we just lap it up for its food
value and nourishment,as a cat laps up
milk,then we can still remain true to
ourselves.
Sometimes,however,flattery will get
you nothing from one who has had too
much of
it.A good example is the famous 12th century
legend of King Canute of
Denmark and king got
tired of listening to endless sickening flattery
of
his courtiers(朝臣).They overpraised him to
the skies,as a man of limitless might.

and how empty their flattery.

boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks.

management.

limitless power by his followers.

praises her students for their talent and wisdom.

good apple polisher.
C.George Fox and his
party were not apple polishers.
D.There are
people who don’t like being apple polished.

author?

B.Flattery is too empty to do people any good.
C.Flattery can get you nothing but
excessive(过度的) pride.
D.Flattery is one of the
ways to apple-polish people.
24.Why did King

his normal life.

The baby is
just one day old and has not yet left hospital.
She is quiet but alert
(警觉).Twenty
centimeters from her face researchers have placed
a white card with
two black spots on it. She
stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the
card and
replaces it by another, this time
with the spots differently spaced. As the cards
change
from one to the other, her gaze (凝视)
starts to lose its focus — until a third, with
three black spots, is gaze returns: she looks
at it for twice as long as
she did at the
previous card. Can she tell that the number two is
different from three,
just 24 hours after
coming into the world?
Or do newborns simply
prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but
with
three spots shown before two, shows the
same return of interest when the number of
4
spots changes. Perhaps it is just
the newness? When slightly older babies were shown
cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key,
an orange and so on), changing the
number of
objects had an effect separate from changing the
objects themselves.
Could it be the pattern
that two things make, as opposed to three? No
again. Babies
paid more attention to squares
moving randomly on a screen when their number
changed from two to three, or three to effect
even crosses between senses.
Babies who were
repeatedly shown two spots became more excited
when they then
heard three drumbeats than when
they heard just two; likewise (同样地) when the
researchers started with drumbeats and moved
to spots.
28.The experiment described in
Paragraph 1 is related to the baby's ________.
A.sense of hearing B.sense of sight
C.sense of touch D.sense of smell
29.Babies are sensitive to the change in
________.
A.the size of cards B.the colour of
pictures
C.the shape of patterns D.the number
of objects
30.Why did the researchers
test the babies with drumbeats?
A.To reduce
the difficulty of the experiment.
B.To see how
babies recognize sounds.
C.To carry their
experiment further.
D.To keep the babies'
interest.
31.Where does this text
probably come from?
A.Science fiction.
B.Children's literature.
C.An
advertisement.
D.A science report.

When asked about happiness, we usually think
of something extraordinary, an
absolute
delight, which seems to get rarer the older we
get.
For kids,happiness has a magical delight
at winning a race or
getting a new bike is
unreserved (毫无掩饰的).
In the teenage years the
concept of happiness ly it's conditional
5
on such things as excitement, love
and popularity.I can still recall the excitement
of
being invited to dance with the most
attractive boy at the school party.
In
adulthood the things that bring deep joy — love,
marriage, birth — also bring
responsibility
and the risk of adults, happiness is complicated
(复杂的).
My definition of happiness is “the
capacity for enjoyment”.The more we can
enjoy
what we have, the happier we 's easy to overlook
the pleasure we get from
the company of
friends, the freedom to live where we please,and
even good health.
I experienced my little
moments of pleasure I was overjoyed
when I
shut the last lunch-box and had the house to I
spent an
uninterrupted morning writing,which I
the kids and my husband came
home, I enjoyed
their noise after the quiet of the day.
Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need
a mix of enjoyable leisure time
and satisfying
work.I don't think that my grandmother, who raised
14 children, had
much of did have a network
of close friends and family, and maybe this is
what satisfied her.
We, however, with so
many choices and such pressure to succeed in every
area,
have turned happiness into one more
thing we've got to 're so self-conscious
about
our “right” to it that it's making us we chase it
and equal it with
wealth and success, without
noticing that the people who have those things
aren't
necessarily happier.
Happiness
isn't about what happens to us — it's about how we
see what happens
to 's the skillful way of
finding a positive for every 's not wishing for
what we don't have, but enjoying what we do
possess.
32.As people grow older, they
________.
A.feel it harder to experience
happiness
B.associate their happiness less
with others
C.will take fewer
risks in pursuing happiness
D.tend to believe responsibility means
happiness
33.What can we learn about the
author from Paragraphs 5 and 6?
A.She cares
little about her own health.
B.She enjoys the
freedom of traveling.
C.She is easily pleased
by things in daily life.
D.She prefers getting
pleasure from housework.
34.What can
be inferred from Paragraph 7?
A.Psychologists
think satisfying work is key to happiness.
B.Psychologists' opinion is well proved by
Grandma's case.
C.Grandma often found time for
social gatherings.
D.Grandma's happiness came
from modest expectations of life.
6
35.What can be concluded from the
passage?
A.Happiness lies between the positive
and the negative.
B.Each man
is the master of his own fate.
C.Success leads
to happiness.
D.Happy is he who is content.

语篇解读:快乐与事情本身没有关系,与我们怎样看待事情有关。珍惜我
们所拥有的,满足感会让我们感到幸福、快乐。
32.As people grow older,
they ________.
A.feel it harder to experience
happiness
B.associate their happiness less
with others
C.will take fewer
risks in pursuing happiness
D.tend to believe responsibility means
happiness
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“an absolute
delight, which
seems to get rarer the older we
get”可知,人年纪越大似乎越难感到快乐,故选A。
33.What can we learn
about the author from Paragraphs 5 and 6?
A.She cares little about her own health.
B.She enjoys the freedom of traveling.
C.She is easily pleased by things in daily
life.
D.She prefers getting pleasure from
housework.
解析:选C 细节理解题。通读文章第五、六两段可知,作者会因朋友的陪伴、可以自由选择住的地方、身体健康、孩子们玩耍的声音而感到快乐,也就
是说作者很容易因为日
常生活中的小事而产生满足感,从而感到快乐,故C项
正确。
34.What can be
inferred from Paragraph 7?
A.Psychologists
think satisfying work is key to happiness.
B.Psychologists' opinion is well proved by
Grandma's case.
C.Grandma often found time for
social gatherings.
D.Grandma's happiness came
from modest expectations of life.
解析:选D 推理判断题。
根据第七段的内容可知,心理学家认为,有一
份令人满意的工作并且能享受业余时间,可以让人感到快乐
。而作者的祖母并
不是这样,只是拥有亲密的朋友和家人,她就会感到快乐,故A、B两项错误,
C项文中没有提及,故选D。
35.What can be concluded from
the passage?
A.Happiness lies between the
positive and the negative.
16
B.Each man is the master of his
own fate.
C.Success leads to happiness.
D.Happy is he who is content.
解析:选D 推理判断题。
在文章最后一段,作者提出“快乐与事情本身
没有关系,与我们怎样看待事情有关”,呼吁人们珍惜他们
所拥有的,满足感
会让他们觉得快乐;A、B、C三项的归纳有失偏颇。由此可知D项正确。
补充题目.People who equal happiness with wealth
and success________
A.consider pressure
something blocking their way
B.stress
their right to happiness too much
C.are at a loss to make correct choices
D.are more likely to be happy
解析:细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段的第二句“We're so self-conscious
about our ‘right’ to it that it's making us mi
serable.”可知,把财富和成功等同于
快乐的人,过分强调快乐的权利,不断追逐财富与成功,
最后变得不快乐,由
此可知stress their right to happiness
too much正确。
