四、阅读理解（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分）

阅读下面A、B两篇短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

    Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about the rich. Though they have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools, they may often feel lonely.

    In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your teachers will help you; when you do something wrong, people around you feel unhappy; when you succeed in something, your friends will say congratulations to you. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

    Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. Although you are poor, you can also say you are very happy. Money is not everything. You have something else that money can’t buy. When you meet with difficulties, you can loudly say you are very happy because you have more chances to challenge（挑战） yourself. So you can not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

51  _______may often feel lonely even though they have beautiful houses with large gardens.

    A. Teachers         B. Parents         C. Old people          D. Rich people

When you want to call a store or an office that you don’t call often, you may look the number up in a telephone book. You dial (拨) the number, and then you forget it! Your short-term (短期) memory last about 30 seconds. However, you don’t need to look in the telephone book for your best friend’s number because you already know it. This information is in your long-term memory. Your long-term memory has everything that you remember through the years.

Why do you forget things sometimes? There are several reasons. An important reason for forgetting something is that you didn’t learn it well in the beginning. For example, you meet some new people, and soon you forget their names. You hear the names but you don’t learn them, so you forget them.

You can help yourself remember better. Move information from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. You can do this if you practise the new information for more times.

56 Why do you forget the telephone number that you don’t call often? ______

Depending on yourself

    Growing up is not always easy．When we face difficulties，a spirit of depending on yourself is more useful than crying for help．That’s what Hong Zhanhui’s story of growing from boy to man with family hardship tells us．

    Hong was born in 1982 in a poor family in Xihua County(县)，Henan Province． When he was only 11，his father became badly ill and one day he came back with an unwanted baby girl．A year later，Hong’s mother left home．She no longer wanted to live such a poor life and face her sick husband．So everything hard fell onto the young boy’s shoulders：to take care of  his father and the sister Chenchen，and to go on to study．

    Although his life was hard，Hong didn’t go away from his father and sister．He had  part—time jobs to feed his family．He climbed tall trees to get birds’eggs for his sister． He walked two hours at weekends to the market to buy different things to sell around his school．A few years later，he studied at a college．To take care of  Chenchen，he worked hard to rent(租) a room near his college for her，and send her to school．

    After Hong’s story went public，he became a hero in people’s eyes．But Hong refused offers from others．He said he felt encouraged by kind offers，but he could depend on his own work．

    Through his hard life，he has grown up from boy to man．
