Paper 2

I. Read and choose the best answer:

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals（ASPCA）is the oldest humane organization in America. It was founded in 1866 by Henry Bergh, a wealthy man of New York City.

Bergh was horrified by the cruelty toward animals that he observed daily in city streets, particularly with   respect to the large number of working horses in New York City, as well as its many stray cats and dogs. Bergh decided to act. He and his other friends wrote and signed the promise: to alleviate pain, fear, and suffering among all animals.

The newly founded ASPCA realized they needed more than kind words to face what they saw as a growing problem. Therefore, the organization, through its founding members, persuaded the New York State government   to pass the country’s first effective animal anti-cruelty law.

From a small organization of a few concerned citizens, the ASPCA has developed into a nationally-recognized force in protecting animals. In New York City, the ASPCA continues to rescue and shelter animals and to educate school children and other people about animals and their care. It now runs a full-service hospital for animals in the city as well. Beyond New York City and state, the ASPCA has led many national movements to help animals and protect animals.

Henry Bergh’s vision lives on today at the ASPCA. For over 135 years, the ASPCA has taken a leading role in promoting the humane treatment of animals. In carrying on the work started by Bergh, the ASPCA promotes both the spirit and law. Henry Bergh would be amazed.

Zen Buddhism （ 时尚于日本的佛教的一大宗派） began in China in the sixth century and places great importance on work, helping others and deep thought. Teaching  1  stories is a common practice in Zen   Buddhism.

One example of a Zen story is Chasing Two Rabbits’. In this story, a martial arts（武术）student said to his

teacher. I want to improve my knowledge of martial arts. Besides    2    from you, I would like to study another style with a different teacher. What do you think about this? The teacher answered,‘The hunter who chases two rabbits at the same time catches  3  one. ’ This story teaches us that trying to get everything will get you   nothing. It also shows us that it is better to focus one’s energy on one task at a time.

Another Zen story is‘Practice Makes Perfect.’This is the story of a person studying singing. His teacher was strict and made him sing the     4     part of the song he was studying over and over again. The student lost     interest and     5     . One night, he came to a place where a singing contest was being held. He     6      the      contest and sang the only tune he knew. He was highly praised and later became a famous performer. This shows us that hard work brings good results.     7      the first story, it also teaches that it is better to focus one’s energy   on one thing and to be good at it.

Zen stories mean different things to different people, but they all teach us something new.

I have had bad memories of the Slipslide（ 滑 梯 ）Water  Park. One time Grandpa took me there, and he l      1 me in the waterslide area for practically the whole day.

Ⅳ. Read the passage and answer the  questions.

Good attitude is success

Have you ever had problems in your life and don’t know how to be happy? If so, you will find“Being a Happy Teenager”by Australian writer Andrew Matthews useful.

Andrew Matthews is a writer, cartoonist and speaker. His books have been translated into 20 languages. He has been on over 2000 radios and TV programs.

In this book, Matthews tells us how to have a happy life and answers the questions of teenagers.

There are many TOPics such as parents and friends, and the book says we should sTOP being angry and forgive. The book tells us of useful skills such as how to put what you have learned into pictures of your mind to make  your memory better. Many teenagers think that happiness comes from a good exam mark or praise from other people. But you can still be happy when there are no such "good" things.

Success comes from a good attitude. If you learn from problems, you will have success in the future.

Some school boys have problems such as being too tall or too short. But Matthews tells us that happiness comes from thinking about things in a positive way.

If you are tall, people notice you and you can get a better view at the movie; if you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom! This is Matthews' most important lesson: you choose to be happy! "

Who is Andrew Matthews and what is his nationality?

What does Matthews do in this book?

What should we do to get along with our parents and friends?

You can’t be happy when there are no such“good”things, can you?

Why can people still be happy when they meet with problems?

What do you think of the book“Being a Happy Teenager”? Will you buy it or not? Why?
