An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree.A small fly came，flying and buzzing near his ear.The elephant waved it away with his long ears.Then the fly came again and the elephant waved it away once more.

Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you look at the world with a warm heart, you will find that the whole world smiles at you.
While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you noticed the happy smile on your teacher’s face when you do a good job?
If one day it is fine, but just before you go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather. Dear friends, why don’t you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? Also with the timely rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a good harvest.
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure can’t be avoided. I think failure is not terrible. The terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident of ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of the success.”
Attitude decides everything, with an optimistic attitude life is easy and pleasant. Let’s smile at whatever we meet and the whole world will smiles at us.

An old man was fishing on the bank of a river. A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn't take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked, "Why don't you want the fish? '
The child replied," I want the fishing rod(竿)in your hands. "
The old man asked," Why do you want the rod?"
"It doesn't take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.
I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn't know how to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It's useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.
Too many people think that if they have a "fishing rod" in their life, they will no longer fear the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.

A. if you have a "fishing rod" in your life, you won't be afraid of anything
B. if you have a fishing rod, you'll have a lot of fish to eat

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend too much time thinking about the future-for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to 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 several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
The best title（标题）of this passage is _____________ .

A．The Secrets of Happiness

B．Money Makes You Happy

    "The little bamboo tree had been growing underground in the past four years，developing a root strong enough for its ground growth （生长）in the fifth year.If it hadn't done this，it would not be so strong.So you know，all the time you were struggling，you were actually growing strong roots." the old man said.Finally，the man thanked the old man deeply.Then he left the forest with the hope for life.

Each of us has dreams and goals for our future.What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.

    But why do you have dreams and goals，you still end up with nothing？What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent （锲而不舍的） action.When you learn your lessons in school，you must work hard and not give up.You will often find some of your lessons very hard.Try and keep trying，and you'll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with.If we have a hard lesson today，let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.

    This is the famous formula（公式） for success：

    Dream ＞ Believe ＞ Achieve

    Most people have what they want （Dream） and think they can realize their dreams （Believe）.And then they do nothing.They just imagine their dreams can come true.When they get tired waiting and lose a lot，they get bored.They say angrily how terrible their life is.

    I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life，you have to add one thing to your success formula：

    Dream ＞ Believe ＞ Act ＞ Achieve

    For me，act is the most important thing for success and that's to Take Persistent Action （Act）.If you say， "I can't do it" and give up，you can never do anything valuable.However， "I'll try" creates wonders.Let's remember that there will be obstacles in our life.We must face them bravely and solve them.Success is not something that falls down from the sky.Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.

    Please remember：Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.

C.Wonders.

D.Difficulties.

（4）Why does the writer use the formula "Dream ＞ Believe ＞ Act ＞ Achieve"？ 　 　

A.To support his idea.

B.To ask readers to explain it.

C.To show what his goals are.

D.To compare it with a bridge.

（5）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？

In September，2020，I had the chance to come to China for the first time and visited Yunnan Province.

A set of silver ornaments can be sold for between 10，000 and 20，000 yuan on the market.The making of silver ornaments creates jobs in the village.Shuiduichong now has more than 20 family workshops.

There are about 1.5 million kinds of living things on Earth，but how many do you see every day？You often see the big colourful animals，like birds，rabbits，and fish.But look more closely.Can you see the small ones，too？Insects（昆虫）make up 80 percent of all the world's living kinds.Look on the ground.Imagine you could look under the ground，too.Many small living things with one cell live there.Life is everywhere around us，in every cubic foot （a foot＝ 12 inches）.

David Littschwager is a photographer who wanted to find out how many living things lived in one cubic foot .So he made a 12﹣inch cube with a green metal frame.And then he put it in five habitats（栖息地）.He chose a tropical rainforest（Costa Rica），a coral reef（Pacific Ocean），the Table Mountain（South Africa），a freshwater river（USA），and a small park（New York）.Three weeks were spent at each place.He watched，counted，and took photos of everything down to I millimeter in size-that crawled（爬）or flew into the cube.

The results were amazing.Liittschwager found both common and rare living things.He discovered many new living kinds，like a strange transparent octopus that is the size of a fingernail!In total，more than a thousand living things were photographed.Liittchwager said the One Cubic Foot experience was like "finding treasure".David Liittschwager also found that the highest biodiversity（生物多样性）in the reef was in the skeleton coral（珊瑚遗骨）.These skeleton coral are suitable for sea living things of all sizes to grow.Although the coral reef had the widest range of biodiversity，all the other habitats were full of life.Even the city park!

Once there lived a wise man.He was worried about his son's future because his son was lazy.One day，he said to his son， "I want you to find some treasure.I have drawn a map to guide you".

The son set out the next day.Along the way，he was helped by someone with food and by someone with rooms to live in.He came across robbers （强盗）.He also saw changing scenery and seasons.Finally，after a long year，he got to the place his father had said.It took him two days to look for the treasure but found nothing.

So he had to get back to his home.Sometimes，he would stop to enjoy the beauty of nature.
