Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don’t really 1 happiness. A famous person once said, “Happiness depends on 2 .” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few ways to help you become happier.

Another 7 of happiness is to be active, and have 8 . We can collect toy cars, go fishing or play a sport. In this way, we enjoy ourselves. We can 9 our problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they offer to help others. 10 you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone else.

Passage 2
(24-25八年级下·天津市第四十三中学·期中)
In our daily lives, communication plays an important role. It’s not just about 1 ourselves clearly but also about understanding others. The way we talk with others can either help build 2 relationships or create unnecessary misunderstandings.
Learning what not to say is probably more important than learning what to say. As you talk with others, you will 3 that the wise speak less. Speak when you have something valuable to add, or don’t say anything.
Poor e-mails with a few writing mistakes can be 4 among friends. But when you communicate with your teachers, you should take it 5 and avoid those mistakes.
Avoid any communication in an emotional state (情绪激动的状态) because you might say things you will 6 later. One unnecessary word at the 7 time or place can break a relationship. Such is the power of words.
Another problem to overcome is speaking too fast. Although our minds are working 8 than our speech, we are inclined (倾向于) to speak fast. This does not mean that the person hearing it will get it faster. So 9 , and think before you speak. “When I get ready to speak to people,” Abraham Lincoln said, “I spend two-thirds of the time thinking what they want to hear and one-third thinking what I want to say.
At last, being humorous is also important. But you should know that not all 10 are funny. Never say anything that could hurt others.

You asked me, “How do you feel about coming to China?” Well, I often feel a bit sad 7 when I leave my mum and dad for a few days, and I’m quite shy when I’m with strangers.

loud喧闹的;crazy疯狂的;lovely可爱的;soft轻柔的。根据“Most of my friends like...music. Well, I prefer quiet and traditional music.”可知,这两句之间是对比关系,所以空处应选形容词loud与后句的quiet形成对比。故选A。
7.句意:我也喜欢精彩的音乐会和餐馆。

visit游览;eat吃;drink喝;look看。根据“it’s a great place to...”可知,此处表示“香港是一个值得游览的好地方”。故选A。
3.句意:不过,这是一个值得游览的好地方,我很幸运能在这里上六个月的英语课程。
a six month错误表达;a six-month一个六个月的;six-month六个月的;six-months错误表达。根据“my...English course”可知,空处需要一个复合形容词,其结构是“基数词-名词的单数形式”,所以排除选项A和D;空前已有形容词性物主代词my,所以不需要不定冠词,因此six-month符合语境。故选C。
4.句意:我喜欢说不同的语言。
words话语;languages语言;songs歌曲;sentences句子。根据上文“Some other students are learning Japanese. I might like to learn some too.”可知,“我”想学一些日语。由此推知,“我”喜欢说不同的语言。故选B。
5.句意:在香港有太多要看的东西和要做的事情。
many很多(代指可数名词的复数形式);little几乎没有(代指不可数名词);few几乎没有(代指可数名词的复数形式);much很多(代指不可数名词)。根据下文“Last night I went to a Chinese musical concert...Next weekend my host family is taking me over to an Indian film festival.”可知,“我”去听了音乐会并且将要参加一个印度电影节,由此推知,在香港有太多要看的东西和要做的事情;结合空前的is可知,much符合语境。故选D。
6.句意:我的大多数朋友喜欢喧闹的音乐。
loud喧闹的;crazy疯狂的;lovely可爱的;soft轻柔的。根据“Most of my friends like...music. Well, I prefer quiet and traditional music.”可知,这两句之间是对比关系,所以空处应选形容词loud与后句的quiet形成对比。故选A。
7.句意:我也喜欢精彩的音乐会和餐馆。
ever曾经;never从不;also也;already已经。根据上文“I prefer quiet and traditional music.”可知,上文提到“我”偏好传统音乐,此处补充其他喜好,因此also符合语境。故选C。
8.句意:音乐会之前,我们去了一家意大利餐馆。
theater剧院;restaurant餐馆;film电影;shop商店。根据下文“There were lots of different kinds of food there”可推知,此处指“餐馆”。故选B。
9.句意:我不确定该期待什么,因为我从未看过印度电影。
wait等待;explain解释;expect期待;waste浪费。根据“because I’ve never seen an Indian film”可知,由于“我”从未看过印度电影,所以“我”不确定该期待什么。故选C。
10.句意:有些人说它们很无聊,而另一些人则说它们很棒。
Some一些;All所有;Every每一个;None of the没有一个。some...others...表示“一些……另一些……”。故选A。
