21、   People who go to a formal Western dinner party for the first time may be surprised by table manners in Western culture. Knowing them will help you to behave properly.

First you should know how to put knives and forks. The forks are always on the left while knives on the right of the plate. When you see two spoons, you should know the bigger one is for soup and the small one for dessert. When you sit down at the table, you can take your napkin, unfold it and put it on your lap.

Then dinner starts with a small dish. Some people pray before they start eating, and other people may keep silent for a moment. After that everybody starts. After the small dish, you will get a bowl of soup-but only one bowl of soup and never ask for a second. Many Westerners like to use their fingers when they eating chicken or other birds at table, but never touch beef or other meat in bones. It is polite to finish eating everything on your plate, so don't take more food than you need. Of course you should try to speak quietly and smile a lot, but do not laugh all the time at the table.

However, table manners change over time. They follow the fashion of the day. Also, table manners are only important at formal dinner parties. If you're not sure what to do, you can always follow your hosts. Although good manners always make you look good, you do not need to worry about all these rules while having dinner with your friends or family.

22、There was a pilot and three people in a small plane. Suddenly there was something wrong

with the plane when it was flying in the air. The smoke was everywhere in the plane. The pilot told the people there were only three parachutes (降落伞). They all became worried and started to make excuses.

“I must go and mend the machine.” said the pilot, taking one of the parachutes. There was

nothing he could do, so he just jumped out.

The next person said, “I must have a parachute. I am a very clever person, and I have to

attend an important sports game. I know I am going to win the game because I am going to be the cleverest person there.” He picked up a pack and jumped out.

Two men were left, an old businessman and a young mountain climber. By this time the plane was going down fast. The businessman said, “Young man, I am old, but you’re still young. You take the last parachute.” the young mountain climber smiled, “Don’t worry,” he said, “we can both jump to safety because there are still two parachutes.

23、   Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends on 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 too much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasure, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people do dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.

Finally, people may 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 second paragraph tells us that ________.

A.the more friends you have, the happier you are B.we shouldn't think about our future

C.happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life D.some people fail to live a happy life

【2】The writer thinks that ________.

A.everyone knows how to live a happier life B.it's wrong to spend time on work

C.hobbies take up too much time D.doing good things for someone can make you happier

【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A.Reading a good book. B.Traveling to a foreign country.

C.Listening to favorite music. D.Spending time with close friends.

【4】The best title(标题) of this passage is ________.

A.The Secrets of Happiness B.Money Makes You Happy

C.Good Friends Make You Happy D.Ideas for Helping Other People to Be Happy

A man got lost in a desert (沙漠). He walked for two days,  【1】he still couldn’t find his way out. Dying for water, he found  an  【2】[ˈemptɪ] house in the desert. There was a water pump (水泵) in the house.
