For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened，and there was nothing special about it．Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at．It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better． One way is being unselfish，not wanting everything from our friends．Another way is to look for good points，not bad points in other people．It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be．
You do not have to be spineless（优柔寡断的） in order to be popular．In fact，you will be liked or loved if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights（正当行为）．But do it politely and pleasantly．Being friendly and polite to your group，to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character．
You cannot expect to be perfect，and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes．Everyone makes mistakes，and no one is to be blamed if he does not refuse to learn from them．Many young people become discouraged （灰心丧气的） when they know in themselves qualities that they do not like-selfishness，laziness，and other unpleasant qualities．Just remember that we all have some of these faults（缺点） and have to fight against them．
At the same time，it is important to remember that while you are probably no worse than others，the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people．When something is wrong，it is good sense to try to make it right．Perhaps you do not like a teacher or a classmate．Try to see why，and look at yourself，too，to be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you．Some day，things may turn out all right when you have to learn to get along the best with the situation，without thinking too much about it．Worrying never helps in a situation you cannot change．One of the two ways the writer suggests for us to get along with others is to ____．
| A．work hard at everything we do |
| B．enjoy the best share of everything |
| C．look for treasure in order to be successful |
| D．pay more attention to their strong points |
If a person wants to be popular，he or she has to____．
| A．be polite and friendly |
| B．give up some rights |
| C．get away arguing with other people |
| D．be ready to change his or her character |
There is no person but someone should be blamed if he or she
| A．is modest and generous |
| B．does not draw a lesson from his or her own mistake |
| C．is selfish and lazy |
| D．is very happy with unpleasant quality |
The purpose for the writer to write the passage is to
| A．train you to be perfect |
| B．show you the way to be happy |
| C．tell you how to act when you dislike a person |
| D．teach you how to be popular among your friends |

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waster every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.
Remember these three words; reduce, reuse and recycle（减量、再使用和再循环）.
Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

Everybody dreams. But only some people remember their dreams. Our dreams often include all the senses—smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch.
Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist(奥地利心理学家) Sigmund Freud believed people often dream about things they want but can’t have. Swiss(瑞士) psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams provide solutions to problems we face when we are awake.
Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions(感情). Robert Stickgold is a professor of psychiatry (心理学教授). He says that when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world. He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and desires(愿望).
