Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. 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. When you are poor, you can also you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving（旋转的）door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
(    )66.Those who have big houses may often feel ________.
A. happy    B. lonely     C. free      D. excited
(    )67.When you fall down in a PE class, your teacher and your classmates will ________.
A. laugh at you B. play jokes on you C. quarrel with you  D. help you up

A. Oh, so do I.  B. Congratulations.  C. Good luck.   D. It’s just so-so.
(    )69.Which idea is NOT RIGHT according to the passage?
A. People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.
B. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.
C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.
D. Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.
(    )70.Which of the following is this passage about?
A. Bad luck.  B. Good luck.  C. Happiness.  D. Life.
(D)

All living things on the earth need other living things to live on. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing tills（v.使平静） another, one eats and the other is eaten. Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain（n.链子）. Some food chains are simple, while others are not. But all food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of the links（n.联系） disappears.
All life needs sunlight to live on. But only plants can use sunlight directly. Plants are “factories”. They make food from sunlight, water and things in the soil and air.
Plants feed all other living things. Animals can only use the sun’s energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.
What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat, rice, vegetables, fruits and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. But men often break up the food chains. They make wild animals ill. They also make rivers, lakes and seas dirty. lakes these when rivers and are seas the eaten polluted in fish cannot them be. If men eat the fish, they will get strange diseases.
Each form of life is linked to all the others, Breaking the linked to all the others. Breaking the links puts all life in danger.
