Don't Worry! Be Happy!
If I were a bird, I'd fly up high, Above the clouds, up in the sky. I'd float and sing and soar and play, Without any worries to ruin my day. If I were a dog, during the day. I'd rest, So when Master came home,I'd be at my best— Ready to run or play balls or catch, Ready to jump, roll over or fetch.
If I were a dolphin, I'd splash in the sea, And dive and Dip— great fun for me! I'd play with friends under the sea so blue. There'd be no chores or homework to do.

From voluntarily collecting historical materials related to the Great Wall in his Shanxi hometown in Province to becoming an official cultural heritage(遗产) protector, Yuan Xuerui has spent over twenty years safeguarding the ancient wonder.
China's Great Wall is one of the great wonders of the world and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built from 3 BC to the 1800s on the north of the country, the Great Wall has a total length of more than 20,000 kilometers.
Yuan, 55, was born in Qingxibao at the foot of the ancient wall in Shanxi's Daixian county, which is part of the city of Xinzhou. His love for the ancient wall encouraged him to protect it, and when not engaged(从事) in farm work, he spent most of his time walking along the wall to collect bricks that had fallen off due to the long time and prepare for repairs. "What others think as a difficult and dull task of cultural heritage protection often brings me unexpected discoveries," Yuan said.
He officially became a cultural heritage worker in 2018, and since then his duties have expanded from collecting bricks to organizing ancient documents related to the wall to better tell stories about it. As a heritage worker, Yuan has come to understand the meaning of the Great Wall. "Each brick has endured(忍受) the test of time over hundreds of years-in some cases more than a thousand-carrying rich historical memories," he said.
"This summer, Yuan organized a campaIgn(活动) to encourage people to collect bricks for the future repair of the wall. Many bricks were taken away from the Great Wall by local villagers to build their houses in the1960s and 1970s.("As villagers' awareness of the need to protect the wall has grown, nowadays, when locals find fallen bricks along the Great Wall, they will pick them up," he said. "If they see rubbish, they will also pick it up and throw it into bins."
8．What is Yuan Xuerui's job now
A．A local farmer. B．A repairman.
C．A cultural heritage protector. D．A brick collector.
9．How does Yuan Xuerui view his job
A．Difficult and dull. B．Exciting and popular.
C．Tiring and disappointing. D．Surprising and meaningful.
10．What did Yuan Xuerui do as a cultural heritage worker
a. He made speeches. b. He collected bricks. c. He engaged in farm work.
d. He organized ancient documents. e. He called for people to join in.
A．bde B．bcd C．abc D．cde
11．What can we learn from the passage
A．Yuan's journey with Great Wall just begins
B．Yuan's job to protect Great Wall is misunderstood
C．Yuan's love for Great Wall remains unchanged
D．Yuan's campaign encourages people to take away bricks from the Great Wall
阅读下面短文， 从每小题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出正确选项。
I Imagine that you have woken up on the first day of your vacation. You enjoy a delicious breakfast, take a walk on the beach, and read the morning newspaper as you drink coffee. You are feeling happy and relaxed. But you may start to feel bored by the time the late afternoon comes around!
If you have ever felt like this, you' re not alone. It turns out that having unlimited(无限的) time is not always as great as we expected. What is the best amount(数量) of free time for our happiness
Researchers tried to answer this question by surveying tens of thousands of people, collecting data(数据) on how they spent their time and how happy they were. After looking at the data, the research team found that having less than two hours of free time a day was not enough to be happy. People with under two hours of free time a day usually had more stress. It means that they were simply too busy with work to get their happiness.
The fact that being too busy cuts happiness is true. It might lead to the answer that more free time is simply better. Surprisingly, having a lot of free time is not a panacea(灵丹妙药) for happiness. People surely get a certain sense of joy from finishing tasks. Having more than five hours of free time a day makes us lose the sense of joy. It is in fact cutting our happiness. But I think it is how we spend our free time that makes a difference. When free time is used in more active ways, like playing a team sport, then five or more hours a day can keep or even produce happiness. However, spending five or more hours of free time alone can stop happiness.
12．What may make people feel bored during the vacation
A．The morning newspaper. B．The delicious breakfast.
C．The unlimited free time. D．The walk on the beach.
13．What does the data of the survey show
A．Working can make people happy.
B．Being too busy makes people stressed.
C．People without jobs are the happiest.
D．Two hours of free time brings people pleasure.
14．What does the writer think is important for happiness
A．A longest vacation. B．An unexpected surprise.
C．A certain sense of joy. D．Ways of enjoying free time.
15．What is the best title for the text
A．What Should Our Vacation Be Like
B．Why Do We Need More Free Time
C．Where Can We Spend Our Daily Free Time
D．How Much Free Time Do We Need to Be Happy
