Unit 1 The secrets of happiness 阅读表达专练 话题：人与自我—幸福 基础篇 01 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。 Do you know what makes people happy? The latest World Happiness Report says having much money is not the main reason for happiness. True happiness comes from recognizing the things you have and enjoying them, but not getting more things. The things like phones and clothes can only give us short joy. Think about the presents you got. At first, you were excited, but then maybe you didn’t care about them. So what brings true happiness? In fact, people with good relationships are happier. It’s important to feel safe and loved by the people around you. But happiness means you have to give and take. Do kind things for people. For example, helping others can make you feel happy. Health is another key to happiness. Eating well and exercising can help you feel happy. You will also sleep better. If you don’t get enough (足够的) sleep, you’ll feel tired. Tiredness will influence your happiness level (水平). It’s also bad for your studies. So if you want to be happy and do well in school, make sure you get enough sleep every night. Now you know the secrets of happiness. Start practicing!

People often came to him with some problems. Archimedes always gave them right answers. One day, King Hiero showed Archimedes a gold crown. The crown looked perfect, but some people said quietly it wasn’t real gold. The king started to worry. “I must know the truth,” he said to the scientist, “but don’t break my crown.” Archimedes thought about this problem day and night. One afternoon, when he got into the bath, he saw the water go up and flow (流) over the sides. Suddenly, he had an idea! Archimedes quickly did his experiment (实验). He prepared a bowl of water and two metal (金属) pieces—one gold, one silver (银). Both were the same weight as the crown. First, he put the silver one in and saw how much water spilled out (溢出). Then he put the gold one in and saw less water spilled. At last, he checked the crown. It made more water spill than the gold piece. So he found the answer! 1．Why did people often go to Archimedes? ___________________________________________ 2．When did Archimedes have an idea about how to check the crown? ___________________________________________ 3．What did Archimedes use to check the crown? ___________________________________________ 4．What did Archimedes find finally? ___________________________________________ 5．What do you learn from the story? ___________________________________________ 【答案】1．Because they wanted Archimedes to help them with some problems./To ask Archimedes some problems and get the answers. 2．When he saw the water go up and flow over the sides after getting into the bath. 3．A bowl of water and two metal pieces. 4．The crown wasn’t real gold. 5．We can learn a lot from life if we observe things around us carefully. 【导语】本文主要讲述了阿基米德通过观察洗澡时水的溢出情况获得灵感，最终解决了鉴定王冠的难题。 1．根据“People often came to him with some problems.

The latest World Happiness Report says having much money is not the main reason for happiness. True happiness comes from recognizing the things you have and enjoying them, but not getting more things. The things like phones and clothes can only give us short joy. Think about the presents you got. At first, you were excited, but then maybe you didn’t care about them. So what brings true happiness? In fact, people with good relationships are happier. It’s important to feel safe and loved by the people around you. But happiness means you have to give and take. Do kind things for people. For example, helping others can make you feel happy. Health is another key to happiness. Eating well and exercising can help you feel happy. You will also sleep better. If you don’t get enough (足够的) sleep, you’ll feel tired. Tiredness will influence your happiness level (水平). It’s also bad for your studies. So if you want to be happy and do well in school, make sure you get enough sleep every night.

If your answer is yes, sometimes you still find it very difficult to have enough time to do it. However, you don’t have to worry because of  “Sunny Sports”. The Ministry of Education (教育部) has started it. It suggests that students around the country should do sports for an hour every day. Students will be able to do any sport they like. Han Jiawen, from Shanghai Yangsi Middle School, likes the idea. Han and her classmates skip ropes together. “We have a good time and stay in shape at the same time,” said Han. “Doing sports is much better than having classes.” Wang Lichao, a student from Hebei, welcomes the idea, too. “It’s good to be able to breathe some fresh air instead of sitting in the classroom.” Wu Jiatong’ school is in Liaoning. Her favorite sport is ball throwing. Wu and other students like throwing balls for 30 minutes every morning. “It’ really tiring,” said Wu. “But we do feel healthier. We hope we can do what we want.” But the 14-year-old student Li Zhuoyang wants to know, “Will there be enough room for everyone? With so many students outside in the playground,” he said, “I’m worrying there won't be enough standing room for each student.” To make students happy and keep them healthy, schools should start the programme (计划).
