What makes you happy? Music? Money? Spending time with friends?
For American young people, family time is the main source (来源) of happiness, according to a recent survey (调查) of 1,280 American young people.Most of them say it is a good relationship with their parents that makes them happy.
“My mum tells me that, even if I do something silly, she's still going to love me no matter what happens.Just knowing that makes me feel very happy，” says Kristiana St.John, 17, a high school student in New York.
After family, it is relationships with friends that seem to matter most. There were also many other kinds of answers given to the “What makes you happy？” question.For Chad Fiedler, 17, happiness is “just waking up in the morning and looking forward to what he's going to do that day”．And for Esohe Roland, 14, it's “playing the trumpet (小号) in his school band”．So, what is happiness? Let's hear what Chinese teenagers want to say.
For Bao Yiqiao, 15, Beijing, happiness comes from success brought by hard work.She felt happy when she was admitted to a top high school.She was happy when she came fifth in a recent swimming competition.
For Jiang Wenyu, 17, Dalian, spending time with his family makes him happy.Whenever he feels down at school, his parents encourage him to go on.They always help him to find a way out.

I've never been the kind of person to say, “it's the thought that counts” when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present that blew_me_away.
For years now, I've been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is much more than just a building.
In the front room, there's a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, marking the progress of my children's growth.
Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each child's name and the date when they were measured. Of all the objects and all the memories, it's this one thing in a home that's the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn't normally be greeted by tears, but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress, right there for everyone to see.
Over the years, I've talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, even though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing.
So one day, while I was at work, my children decided to do something about it. They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer whose work is about capturing (捕捉) the beautiful things in life, from clear lakes and skies to diamonds
and ballgowns (晚礼服)．
She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints (指纹), and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, transforming them into a beautiful history of my family.
Three weeks later, my children's wonderful gift made its way to me — a lifesize photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了孩子们送给“我”的一件充满爱意且特别的礼物的事情。
4．The underlined phrase “blew me away” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．
A．attracted me C．accepted me
B．surprised me D．refused me
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“I've never been the kind of person to say, ‘it's the thought that counts’ ... when my kids gave me a present”及下文的描述可知，“我”以前不相信送礼物的人的心思最重要，但几个星期前“我”的孩子们送给“我”的礼物让“我”改变了这样的想法，所以此处表示使“我”吃惊。
5．What does the house really mean to the author? A．A house. C．Objects.
B．A building. D．Memories.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Of all the objects and all the memories, it's this one thing in a home that's the hardest to leave behind”可知，对作者来说这栋房子意味着回忆。
6．What surprised the friends the author know after work? A．Finding the wall repainted. B．Erasing the fingerprints. C．Greeting them by tears. D．Leaving the wall unfinished.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over” 可知，令朋友们吃惊的是房屋的墙面又被重新粉刷了。

Researchers have created a backpack that has a computer and medicines in it that can help even untrained soldiers save the lives of wounded troops. Wounded soldiers have a better chance of survival if they get help soon after being hurt and are quickly taken to a hospital or clinic. But soldiers who do not have medical training may not know how to help their injured friends.
Doctors and engineers have developed what they call an “intelligent backpack”. It has a computer and electronic measuring devices. The backpack also has robotic instruments and medicines ready to be given to injured troops.
About 16 doctors and engineers from the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University and several other places are working on the project. The U．S. Department of Defense has given money to the project.
Ron Poropatich leads the project. He is a retired Army surgeon. He says the backpack will help soldiers care for those who are injured. The devices included in the backpack can monitor a person's heart rate and blood pressure. The robotic instruments can even tell whether the soldier has a collapsed lung.
The intelligent backpack's computer can compare information gathered about the injured soldier with thousands of similar cases, and quickly tell the best methods to save the soldier's life.
Sometimes, it is not always possible to quickly remove the injured soldier from the battlefield. So, Dr. Poropatich says, the researchers hope to create a backpack that will have devices that can keep a soldier alive for a long time. Dr. Poropatich hopes the backpack and its instruments will be ready for testing on animals in about three years.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了研究者发明的一种“智能背包”，内有电脑、药物等，可以及时救助伤员。
7．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．Soldiers should have taken medical training.
B．Most of the soldiers can't use the backpack correctly. C．The backpack can play a big part in the battlefield. D．Wars or battles have brought harm to the world.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Wounded soldiers have a better chance of survival if they get help soon after being hurt and are quickly taken to a hospital or clinic”可以推测出，这种“智能背包”能够在战场上发挥重要作用。
8．How many kinds of items are mentioned in the backpack?
A．2. C．4.
B．3. D．5.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It has a computer and electronic measuring devices. The backpack also has robotic instruments and medicines ready to be given to injured troops”可知，“智能背包”里的物品有四种，故选C。
9．What can we know according to Ron Poropatich? A．The project got support from the whole world. B．The robotic instruments can monitor lungs. C．The injurer's heart disease can be cured. D．The devices can adjust soldiers' blood pressure.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The robotic instruments can even tell whether the soldier has a collapsed lung”可知，这种装置可以指出士兵的肺是否萎缩，即这种装置可以监测肺的情况。故选B项。
10．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．Researchers and Their Wonderful Discovery B．Medical Care Tested on the Wounded Soldiers C．Robotic Devices Used in the Battlefield D．Emergency Medical Care in a Backpack
解析：选D 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一种可以及时向伤员提供紧急医疗救助的“智能背包”，故选D。

Ⅵ.读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I worked from the time I was four and raised seven children,_all of them college graduates. It seemed I'd done everything I'd ever wanted to do in my life, but I had one regret. I was born in 1898, the oldest of five kids. Papa couldn't spare me to go to school, so I worked in the fields with him till I was 21 years old.
Everywhere I went, I learned some hard lessons about what happens to a man who even can't read the_alphabet. People cheat you out of wages. They sell you a ticket to one city, take your money and hand you a ticket to somewhere else.
By 1928, I'd been wandering for nine years. I met a woman named Elzenia. We fell in love, married and moved to Dallas, where I got work fixing roads for the city. When Amelia, the oldest of our seven children, first went_to_school,_I took my wife aside. “Elzenia，” I said. “I don't want the kids to know I can't read or write.”
In 1938, one day my boss called me in. “George，” he said. “No one knows those machines as you do. I'd like to promote you.” But my thrill and surprise were cut short when he said, “Fill out this application and we'll get you a raise.” I couldn't admit_the_truth. I thanked him and walked out of his office. I did stay right where I was, until I turned 65 and my boss made me retire. But I didn't stop working. For the next 25 years, I lived a happy life, but it still seemed to me like something was missing.
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1：
A young fellow handed me a piece of paper. It was information about
Paragraph 2：
The young man drove me to an old building.
参考范文： Paragraph 1：
A young fellow handed me a piece of paper. It was information about adult
education classes. People can learn to read and write. Now I'm 98. I thought of my friends and neighbors and what they might think if they found out I couldn't read. After all these years, my secret would be out. But all my life I've wanted to read. It is high time for action.
Paragraph 2：
The young man drove me to an old building. I knew it well — it was where all
my children had gone_to_school. I looked into the classroom to get a look at who I would be going to school with the next day. The students all looked like babies to me. There was a lady in her fifties but most of the rest were in their twenties or thirties. I went back to the school the next day. I'd been inside the building so many times before with my children. That old building looked the same, and it smelled the same. But this time it was different because this time it was going to be my school. First came learning the_alphabet,_then words. In three months, I could read. It was not very exciting, but I loved it.
