LANG, Associated PressShirley Temple Black, who died on February 10th at age 85, wasnt just a child star. She was THE child starthe sweet little girl whose shining smile helped illumine some of the darkest days the US has known during the Great Depression.Its hard today to imagine the super star Shirley was once “Americas Little Darling”. She sang and danced her way to the top of the box office in such films as Bright Eyes, Curly Top and Heidi. By 1940, she had appeared in 43 films. Temple teamed with Bill Robison in four movies, and their dance on the stairs in The Little Colon is still a legendary film moment.In the 1930s, her name on a movie introduction assured a packed house. She inspired dolls, dresses, disheseven a drink (alcohol-free, of course).US President Franklin D. Roosevelt once famously said that “as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right.”Unlike so many of todays child stars, Temple didnt end up with her name appearing across the headlines for bad behaviors. Instead of getting her photos on front pages or struggling with drugs and alcohol, Temple went on to a second career in diplomacy (外交) , including presidential appointments as ambassador to Ghana.She surprised a lot of people who doubted her with her grace, knowledge and eagerness to serve. In fact, her career in public service (20 years) was longer than her career in movies (19). The role she valued most, however, was as wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.The world has lost a treasured Hollywood legend. But her movies will allow that little dynamic figure to continue charming audiences for a very long time.51. The word “illumine” in Paragraph l means _.A. shortenB. sweetenC. strengthen D. brighten52. What part did she regard as the most important in her life?A. A top movie star.B. A businesswoman.C. Her family role.D. Her diplomacy career.53. Where does this passage possibly come from?A. A biography.B. A newspaper.C. A magazine.D. A poster. . BI had worried myself sick over Simons mother coming to see me. I was a new teacher, and I gave an honest account of the students work. In Simons case, the grades were awfully low. He couldnt read his own handwriting. But he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his abilities.So when Simons mother entered the room, my palms (手掌心) were sweating. I was completely unprepared for her kisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you,” she said, surprising me beyond speech. Because of me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he loved me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had recently spent an afternoon at a friends house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the self-respect I had developed in her son. She kissed me again and left.I sat, stunned, for about half an hour, wondering what had just happened. How did I make such a life changing difference to that boy without even knowing it？What I finally came to remember was one day, several months before, when some students were giving reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke quietly, and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak up. Simons the expert on this. He is the only one you have to convince, and he cant hear you in the back of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention, smiled more, and became happy. And it was all because he happened to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed praise was the one who took the last seat that day.It taught me the most valuable lesson over the years of my teaching career, and Im thankful that it came early and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.54. We can infer that when Simons mother entered the room, the writer felt _.A. satisfied  B. nervous C. happy  D. surprised55. The following words can be used to describe Simon before he met the writer except _.A. unconfident B. lonelyC. outgoing  D. clever56. What the teacher said in paragraph 3 is intended to _.A. encourage Jeanne to speak louder   B. encourage Simon to work hard C. ask Jeanne to convince Simon   D. tell the students that Simon was expert on that57. The purpose of the passage is to _.A. tell the story of Simon  B. tell teachers how to be kind to students C. advise the readers to be kind to othersD. share a valuable lesson with readersC Ask most people anywhere in the world what they want out of life and the reply will probably be: “to be happy.” Ed Deiner, an American psychology professor, has spent his whole professional life studying what makes people happy, comparing levels of happiness between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy ourselves.  Many people would say that this question does not need an answer. But Professor Deiner has one anyway. “If youre a cheerful, happy person, your marriage is more likely to last, and youre more likely to make money and be successful at your job. On average, happy people have stronger immune systems, and there is some evidence that they live longer.”  So who are the world's happiest people? It depends on how the word is defined. There is individual happiness, the sense of joy we get when we do something we like. But there is also the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of how we behave. According to Professor Deiner, the Western world pursues individual happiness while Asia prefers mutual (相互的，彼此) satisfaction. “In the West, the individualistic culture means that your mood matters much more than it does in the East. People ask themselves if they are doing what is fun or interesting. They become unhappy when they cant do any of these things. If you ask people from Japan or China if they are happy, they tend to look at what has gone wrong in their lives. If not much has gone wrong, then they are satisfied.”  People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries had the happiest culture, Professor Deiner found. “The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame. Hispanic (西班牙语言的) cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others.”  Income also made a big difference to peoples happiness, but only at the lowest levels. A
