I'm really excited to tell you about my fun park trip with my mum and brother last Saturday! When we got there, I was amazed — there were all kinds of rides everywhere. First, I tried the bumper cars (碰碰车). They went around, bumping into each other. Then I got on a red plane. It went in circles, and it felt like I was flying! My brother asked me to go on a roller coaster (过山车), but I was too scared. Later, Mum bought us candy floss (棉花糖). It was really sticky (黏的) — it got all over my hair, and my brother laughed at me! Before I knew it, it was time to go home. I wished I could stay longer and go on more rides. Good news: Mum will take us to the park again next week!

His parents agreed to let him have a small ice cream each night after dinner if he ate all of his vegetables. One day, Jimmy went to Dr Katz to have a health check. Dr Katz told him that ice cream was not healthy. "It's fine to have a little ice cream once in a while, but not every night," she said. After seeing the doctor, Mum came up with a new rule. "There won' t be ice cream at home any more. If you want to eat ice cream, you' ll have to walk to the ice cream stand（货摊）to buy one," she said. Jimmy wanted to give it a try. On Saturday afternoon, he took a walk with his mum to the ice cream stand a mile away. It was a hot and sunny day. Jimmy began to feel sweaty（满是汗的）and tired after walking for a while. He wanted to turn around, but he also wanted an ice cream.Walking was the only way to get it. Jimmy and Mum crossed several streets. They passed Jimmy's school and the park.Jimmy's legs felt heavy. When he was about to quit again, he saw the orange flag at the top of the ice cream stand! Jimmy started to walk faster. The walk was hard, but when he reached the ice cream stand, he smiled. He finally got his ice cream and found that ice cream tasted even better after exercise. From then on,Jimmy enjoyed ice cream sometimes—and enjoyed walking too. ( )24. How could Jimmy get a small ice cream every night at first? A. By eating all of his vegetables at dinner. B. By finishing his homework on time. C. By listening to the doctor's advice. ( )25. Why did Jimmy's mum make a new rule about ice cream? A. To help keep Jimmy healthy. B. To spend more time with Jimmy. C. To buy ice cream at a lower price. ( )26. What does the underlined word “quit” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese? A. 捣寻 B. 放弃 C. 离开 ( )27. How did Jimmy feel at the end of the story? A. Disappointed and tired. B. Happy but nervous. C. Tired but happy. C Have you ever wondered what makes people happy? What’s the secret? Is it money, good health, loving relationships, owning the latest mobile phones or simply chocolate? The latest World Happiness Report says that money is not the key to happiness. Happiness depends more on the things you have rather than getting more things. Money can buy things like mobile phones, but the happiness it brings is often short-lasting. The report also says real happiness comes from intangible (无形的) things. One important thing is human relationships. People who get along well with family and friends often feel happier. Performing acts of kindness also makes you happy. For example, helping a friend in need or carrying a neighbor’s shopping bag will make you feel on top of the world. It’s not surprising that health is another key to happiness. A healthy diet (日常饮食) is important, and so is regular exercise. Exercising for twenty to thirty minutes a day helps you reduce stress and makes you feel more positive. Sleep also affects happiness. If you don't get enough sleep, you will be tired and in a bad mood（心情）. Besides,tiredness affects your ability to focus on studies and may slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school,try to sleep at least eight hours a night. Now you know the theory（理论）. It's time to put it all into practice. ( )28. How does the writer start the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions. ( )29. What does the latest World Happiness Report say about money? A. It is the key to happiness. B. It brings short-lasting happiness. C. It is the best way to help a friend in need. ( )30. Which paragraph mainly discusses the importance of human relationships? A. Paragraph 2. B. Paragraph 3. C. Paragraph 4. ( )31. What is the writer's main purpose of writing this passage? A. To show what brings real happiness. B. To compare different types of happiness. C. To offer advice on how to manage money. 第二节语篇补全（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分） Do you sometimes feel your parents don't understand you? You are not alone.(32)__ This is a normal part of growing up.
