nature.We call it the FourSided Talk.Let's “listen to” everyone carefully and find
out what they think.
An old tree
I am thousands of years old,but I have fewer and fewer friends.I'm afraid I will

there will be no trees to make air and to protect people from floods.Mother
Nature is making many disasters to teach people a lesson.
The river
What the old tree said is right.I not only make the earth more beautiful,but
provide the clean water for people and animals.Now I'm sad because people put
waste into me , which kills many animals and plants that drink my water.Some
people drink this kind of water and get sick,too.
People
We have lived on the earth since ancient times.The earth is our home.We have
done some harm to our home!From now on,we should make full use of the
resources on the earth and protect the earth.Let's try our best!

Happiness is important to everyone.Most people want to be happy but few
know how to find happiness.Money and success alone do not bring lasting
happiness.Happiness depends on ourselves.In other words , we make our own
happiness.
Some people believe that if they are wealthy,they will be able to do anything
they want,which means happiness.On the other hand,some people believe that
holding a high position in the government is happiness.In this way,you have not
only money,but also many other things which can't be bought by money.However,
other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness,nor is holding a
high position in the government.These people value their beliefs , or their
intelligence,or their health.They think these can make them happy.
Here are a few ways to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life.Too often,we
spend so much time thinking about the future,for example,getting into college or
getting a good job,that we don't enjoy the present.You should enjoy life's simple
pleasures , such as reading a good book , listening to your favorite music , or
spending time with close friends.People who have close friends usually enjoy
happier and healthier lives.
The second secret of happiness is to be active.Many people go dancing or
play sports.People can forget about their problems and only think about the activity.
Finally,many people find happiness in helping others.According to studies,
people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things
for other people.If you want to feel happier,do something nice for someone.You
can help a friend with his or her studies , go shopping to get food for an old
neighbor,or simply help around the house.
Now maybe you know how to find happiness!
(D)51.The underlined word “wealthy” means “______” in the article.
A.pleased B.healthy C.excited D.rich
(A)52.Some people who hold a high position in the government think they
can ________.
A.get money and something they can't buy with money
B.do what they want to do at any time
C.enjoy health which makes them work hard
D.take an active part in all kinds of activities every day
(C)53.The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people ______.
A.think about getting a good job
B.think of the present they don't like
C.often spend time with close friends
D.think about entering the college
(B)54.Many people find it happy to ________.
A.remember the old days and troublesB.do some meaningful things for others
C.go shopping to buy some food
D.make much money and little success
(A)55.The passage mainly tells us ________.
A.how to find happiness
B.how to save happiness
C.to do something good for others
D.to value our beliefs or health
C
Do you know Roma people?They were called Gypsies (吉普赛人) by Europeans
because they thought they came from Egypt (a country in Africa) . About a
thousand years ago , the Roma people left their homeland.They are known as
nomads because for hundreds of years many of them have lived in large groups
that travel from place to place.They have no real homeland.
Today , the Roma are now living all over the world.They have kept their
language and many customs.For example,it's important for Roma to marry other
Roma.It's also a custom for parents to choose the person their children will
marry.Roma people get married when they are young,sometimes even as young as
14.
Romany is the language of the Roma people,which was written down only
recently.Because the Roma are nomadic and have moved all over the world,their
language has developed in many different ways.It is sometimes hard for Roma in one part of the world to understand Roma from another part.
Roma music is famous all over the world,because many Roma throughout
history have been musicians.Their music has influenced many other kinds of music,
like classical and jazz.
Roma don't usually assimilate (同化) into host countries.Over many centuries,
governments have forbidden (禁止) them to marry each other,travel or wear their
traditional bright clothes.They have their gold taken away from them—treasures
from their parents and grandparents.They have been taken as slaves (奴隶),and
have been forced to change their names.
But today,the Roma are finding ways to live in peace with others while keeping
the treasures of their culture. “ There's a will within us to continue to live as a
people,” says George Kaslov,whose family arrived in New York from Russia a
hundred years ago. “ All the other ethnic ( 种 族 ) groups who came to America
assimilate gradually with time going;they lose their customs and language.But not
the Roma.We hold out.”
(D)56.What does the underlined word “nomads” in the 1st paragraph mean?
A.People who lived centuries ago.
B.People who come from Roma.
C.People who have their own homeland
D.People who move from place to place.
(B)57.What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.George Kaslov has a strong will to live on.B.The Roma still keep their customs and language.
C.The Roma are finding ways to keep the gold of their own.
D.Most ethnic groups assimilate into host countries step by step.
(C)58.What can we infer (推断) about the Roma according to the passage?
A.Most of the Roma live in very unusual houses.
B.Their language is endangered and may soon die out.
C.Their culture is very different from other European cultures.
D.Most Roma get married either when they are very young or very old.
(A)59.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To tell readers about an interesting culture.
B.To tell us why the Roma need our help.
C.To show us how all people are similar.
D.To ask people how to live in peace.
(C)60.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Brave Roma Travelers
B.Famous Roma Music
C.The Roma:Past and Present
D.Changing Countries,Changing Cultures
