Sudha Chandran, a classical dancer from India, had to have her right leg cut after a car accident.
She was also cut off on her bright career road.
However, she didn’t stop struggling. In the painful three months that followed, Sudha met a
doctor who had an operation on her leg. So strongly she wanted to go back to dancing after she had been fitted with a man-made leg. Sudha knew that she believed in herself and could realize her dream,so she began her brave journey back to the world of dancing — learning to balance, bend, stretch,walk, and turn.After every public recital (个人表演), she might ask her dad about her performance. “You stillhave a long way to go” was the answer she used to get in return. In January 1984, Sudha gained popularity again by giving a public recital in Bombay. She performed in such a great manner that it moved everyone to tears and this performance pushed her to the number one position again. That
evening when she asked her dad the same question, he didn’t say anything. He just touched her feet as a praise.Sudha’s comeback was so touching that a film producer decided to make the story into a film,which has moved more and more people.When someone asked Sudha how she had managed to dance again, she said quite simply, “YOU DON’T NEED FEET TO DANCE.” Nothing is impossible in this world. If you have the will to win,you can achieve anything.

In Los Angeles, drivers spend sixty-one hours every year stuck in traffic. These drivers know all
too well how bad the traffic can be. “There’re too many cars, and you can’t move around a lot.”
Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers from
his office at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. He is always late even with thehelp of a navigation (导航) system.He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses historical
data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house. “What’s unique (独特的) isthat we use a lot of data that’s currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict what’s going to happen in front of you when leave home.”Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just answer current traffic conditions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give thefastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahabi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.
“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing,
Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately
use this.”Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have
navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.
29. Professor Cyrus Shahabi is often late for work because of ________.
A. his living far away B. his car’s navigation system
C. bad traffic conditions D. too many cars in his university
30. What is unique about ClearPath?
A. It helps drivers know the road conditions ahead of time.
B. It can make sure that you will never be late for work.
C. It helps drivers see clearly what happens on the road.
D. It can use a lot of information and data all over the world.
31. The underlined word “ hits” in the fourth paragraph probably means ________.
A. has accident B. gets to
C. turns left or right D. collects traffic data
32. What’s Professor Shahabi’s attitude toward his invention?
A. Proud. B. Worried.
C. Disappointed. D. Optimistic.

Teenagers at one German school are learning how to achieve happiness alongside other
traditional subjects such as math and languages. The class sit in a circle with their eyes shut and they
count from one to ten: someone starts, the next voice comes from the far right, a third from the other side.
The aim of the game is to listen for an opportunity to shout out the number without clashing (冲突)
with another voice or leaving a pause. On the first try, most of the young Germans try to be first,
while a few are too shy to join in, but by the fifth time round, they develop a rhythm (节奏).The
message: give other people space but also confidently claim your own. This is a requirement for
social well-being.
The Willy Hellpach School in Heidelberg is the first in the nation to develop a happiness course.
It is intended for students preparing for university entrance exams.
“The course isn’t there to make you happy,” Ernst Fritz-Schubert, the school principal, warned
pupils, “but rather to help you discover the ways to become happy.”
Cooking a meal together is one of the class exercises. Improving body language under the
高一英语第5 页（共8 页）
guidance of two professional actresses is another.
The course is taught for three periods a week. Although it’s the happy subject, the pupils
themselves insist it is no laughing matter.
“In the first period, we had to each say something positive about another member of the class
and about ourselves. No laughing at people,” said Fanny, 17.
Research by the school shows it is not the first to start happiness classes: they also exist at some
US universities, mainly based on positive thinking, using findings from studies of depression.
33. What’s the writing purpose of this passage?
A. To describe all the traditional courses.
B. To introduce the happiness course.
C. To develop the readers’ interest in happiness.
D. To help students struggle against being sad.
34. According to the passage, the happiness course is ________.
A. created by the Willy Hellpach School
B. to make all the students happy all the time
C. required to be taken by the first year students
D. to help students discover the way to happiness
35. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. the students’ self-respect can also improve happiness
B. the students just took the course as a laughing matter
C. the students can certainly become happy after the course
D. the students waste time learning something without value
