People sometimes say, ―It’s raining cats and dogs!‖ when there is a heavy rain. Nobody has ever really seen cats and dogs falling from the sky, but there have been many reports of other strange things ―raining‖ down. In 1956, the people of a town in the USA saw a small black cloud in the sky. It started to rain from the cloud normally, but only in a small area. The cloud then turned white, and fish started to fall to the ground. Most of them were still alive.

During a storm in July 1901, in Minneapolis, people heard something falling from the sky that did not sound like rain. When they went outside, they found all types of frogs covering four streets.

There are other reports of strange ―rains‖ falling from the sky including worms, insects and snakes. Can these strange ―rains‖ be explained by science? Scientists usually say that a tornado (龙卷风) has picked up the animals from a river or ocean, carried them for miles, and then dropped them somewhere else. But this does not completely explain all of them. On May 15, 1890, in Italy, there was a rain of blood (血液)  birds’ blood. Scientists said that flying birds must have been torn(撕碎) into pieces by strong winds. But if so, why did only their blood fall from the sky, and not other parts of their bodies? And anyway, there were no strong winds that day!

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 upon 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 at present. 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 which can help you forget your problems and time. Many people experience dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget 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.

66. Do most people know how to find happiness?

VIII. 短文填空。（每空2分，共16分）

根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。

Parents often believe that they are good with their teenagers. But during the summer vacation in 2014, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their son: suddenly he seemed to like talking to his friends than to his parents. ―The door to his room is always shut,‖ said Joanna.

Tina and Mark noticed the changes in their 14-year-old daughter. ―She to sit with me on the sofa and talk,‖ said Mark. ―But now we find that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes a young lady. The problem is finding out which time is which.‖

what’s on their minds, ―In fact, parents are first on the list,‖ said Michael Riera, writer of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. ―But this completely changes during the ten years,‖ Riera added. ―They talk to their friends then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.‖

Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are the best to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children some freedom. thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager(管理者), with their children, is a better way to know them.
