It was a cold night. The taxi driver didn’t take even one passenger(乘客) all day. When he went by the railway station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he drove to him and asked, “Where are you going,sir?”
“To the Red Hotel,” the young man answered. When the taxi driver heard this, he didn’t feel happy any more. The young man would give him only three dollars because the hotel was near the railway station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the young man through many streets of the big city.
After a long time, they arrived at the hotel. “Here we are! You should pay me fifteen dollars, please,” the taxi driver said to the young man. “What? Fifteen dollars! Do you think I’m a fool? Only last week, I took a taxi from the railway station to this hotel and I only gave the driver thirteen dollars. I know how much I have to pay for the trip.”
21.The driver was not happy before he saw the young man.
A、dragging
B、assembled
C、glimpse

The next day the man reached the doctor's office. “Well,” said the doctor, “how are you today? Did you try my suggestion?”
The man still looked tired. “Yes,” he said, “I tried counting one, two, three...up to one thousand. But when I reached five hundred and sixty-nine, I began to feel sleepy. I had to get up and drink some tea so that I could go on counting up to one thousand, but then I still couldn't fall asleep.”

(40 points)Text 1France, which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women. Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways. The parliament also agreed to ban websites that “incite excessive thinness” by promoting extreme dieting.Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives. They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health. Thats a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starving themselves to deathas some have done. It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends women, especially teenage girls, about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth.The bans, if fully enforced, would suggest to women (and many men) that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty. And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques.The French measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deepand bone-showing. Under the law, using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a $85,000 fine and six months in prison.The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types. In Denmark, the United States, and a few other countries, it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement.In contrast to Frances actions, Denmarks fa

How often one hears children wishing they were grown up,and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains,and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents,he is well fed,looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition,life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their,interest for older people because they are too well known. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain,or in the snow. His first,visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure. But a child has his pains:he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are;he is continually being told what to do and what not to do. Therefore,a child is not happy as he wishes to be.
When the young man starts to earn his own living,he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents;but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food,his clothes,or his room,he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child,he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents,he may get himself into trouble. If,however,he works hard,goes by the law and has good health,he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.
Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be;but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life;they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them;and,perhaps best of all,they can,if their life has been a useful one,feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest,leaving everything to others.
The happiest people should be those who______.
A.face up to difficulties in life
B.hope to be young again
C.enjoy life in different ages
D.wish to be grown up
