First, happy people like themselves. On questionnaires designed to 47 selfesteem, they agree with 48 such as “I’m a lot of fun to be with” and “I have good ideas.” They also see themselves as more ethical, more intelligent, healthier, and more likeable than other people. Secondly, happy people feel that they have control over their lives. They feel empowered instead of 49 , so they do better in school and work, and deal with stress better. Research in prisons, nursing homes, and totalitarian countries has shown the 50 effects of the lack of personal control. When people don’t have control over their lives, they 51 from depression and poor health. This is also the case when 52 poverty takes away people’s feelings of control in their lives. The third 53 that happy people share is optimism. People who agreed with the statement, “When I 54 something new, I expect to succeed,” were 55 more successful, healthier, and happier.

Consider that the same 51 soil producing the English language also 52 the great principles of freedom and rights of man in the modern world. The first shoots 53 in England, and they grew stronger in America. The Englishspeaking peoples have 54 all efforts to build fences around their language. Indeed, the English language is not the special 55 of grammarians, language police, teachers, writers or the intellectual elite. English is, and always has been, the 56 of the mon man. A. preserve F. tolerance K. tongue B. ban G. cultural L. classic C. descend H. nourished M. rooted D. sprang up I. corrupt N. liberties E. addition J. respecters O. defeated Section B (30 points) Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage. If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (18761947 ), concluded from other men’s work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities. He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat.

It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in summer. Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature. Fall is the nextbest season, then winter.
