14.

People often talk about sadness and happiness in their spare time. Most people want themselves to be happy forever, but few know how to find happiness. Some people say if you have lots of money and success, you will be happy. However, money and success do not bring lasting（持久的）happiness. A famous Greek thinker, Aristotle said, "Happiness depends upon（取决于）ourselves." That's to say, we make our own happiness. Here are some advice to help you to 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, such as getting into college or getting a good job. We don't enjoy the time now. We should enjoy life's simple fun, 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 of living a happy life is to be active（活跃的）. 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 or help out with some things around the house for an old person.

If you do above, you will be happy.

（1）How many suggestions（建议）of happiness are mentioned（提到）in the passage?

A.Three. B.One. C.Four. D.Two.

（2）If you want to enjoy the simple things in life, you can ________.

A.thinking about getting into college

B.listen to your favorite music

C.read a bad book

D.remember some problems

（3）The underlined word "secret" means ________.

A.评价 B.潜力 C.承诺 D.秘诀

（4）What's the main idea of this passage?

A.How to help the old people. B.How to live a happy life.
C.How to get a good job. D.How to depend upon ourselves.

15. 阅读短文，并按要求完成下面的小题。

Hi, boys and girls. I'm Doctor Baker, We all know it is important to sleep well. So today I'm going to give you five tips for getting a good night's sleep.

Tip One: Don't go to bed with the TV on. Some of you think you can sleep well with the TV on, but the noise and light might affect（影响）your brain's rest, so turn it off!

Tip Two: Don't think too much before bedtime. Do your hardest homework earlier in the evening. Do easier homework later. If your brain（大脑）is too busy and full of ideas, it takes longer to get to sleep.

Tip Three: Don't play games before you go to bed. They also make your brain work busily and actively.

Tip Four: Turn off your mobile phone when you go to bed. What is so important that it can't wait until the morning? If possible, put your phone in another room.

Tip Five: Play music before bedtime if you like. But don't play it too loud. It's also a nice way to help you get relaxed. And you will go to sleep quickly.
