One day the mother eagle said to her babies, “Come to the edge of the nest.” The three babies moved slowly and looked down, being afraid to go too far near the edge. “We are afraid,” they replied as they hid under the safety of their mother’s fortable wings. “Come here,” she encouraged, “I’ll help you.” They came and with a loving and watchful eye, the mother eagle gently pushed the young babies out of their nest. And being brave, the babies flew up and began their colorful life. Just as an eagle flies far above the mountains and farms, higher and higher into the blue sky, you can go on your own journey and you are more independent. Then a whole, new, clear, great life lies before you. In our journey through life, like the baby eagles, we hope to have new, exciting experiences and a meaningful future. So be brave, independent and take a step out of your fortable home, you can get where you want to be tomorrow. 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案。（ 5分） 46.

From the passage, we know we should ________. from others B. help each other to get more success C. have a meaningful past D. be brave and independent B Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you 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, for example, getting into college or getting a good job that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, 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 to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you fet your problems and time. Many people experience dancing, or playing a sport, such as can fet about your problems, and only think about the activity. 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 to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes. 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案。（ 5分） 51.
