Unlike other productive authors who write onebook at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk. Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times bestselling novels, and a series of “Max and Martha” picture books for children to help them deal with the reallife problem of death, new babies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her was shot to the top of the New York Times bestselling list as soon as it came out. Twentyeight of her books have been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Books of World Records for one of her books being the Times bestseller for 381 weeks straight. Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource and has kept in touch with them by email. While she is often compared to the heroines(女主人公)of her own invention. Her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable(独特的)style. There is only one Danielle Steel.25.Children who have read “Max and Martha” pictu re books may know ________.A.how to deal with affairs at schoolB.what to do if Max and Martha dieC.what to do when new babies are born into their familiesD.how to solve the difficult problems in their writing classes 26.One of Danielle Steel' s achievements is that ________.A.some TV plays were based on her booksB.her picture books attracted a lot of young menC.one of her books became a bestseller in 1998D.she wrote the Guinness Book of World Records27.We can learn from the passage that Danielle Steel ________.A.lives an exciting life B.values her readers a lotC.writes about quiet women D.is pleased with her achievementsCHow I Turned to Be OptimisticI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then. The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers(移民局官员), took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussedtelephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.28.

Their study of hundreds of men and women also found that people who feel satisfied with their lives always have lots of close friends and regularly make new ones.While it is not clear whether our friends make us happy or we make friends because we are happy,the researchers say it is clear that we should maintain our friendships. Psychologist Richard Tunney said,“Wha teverthe reason is,actively working on friendships in the same way as to maintain a marriage is a prerequisite(必备条件) to happiness.”Dr.Tunney,of Nottingham University,quizzed more than 1,700 people about their satisfaction with their lives and the state of their friendships. Those with five friends or fewer had just a 40 percent chance of being happy.In other words they were more likely to be unhappy than happy. Ten was the first number at which people were more likely to be happy than unhappy. The happiest people were those with dozens of friends,according to the study,which was carried out for the National Lottery(彩票).For women,this meant having 33 friends;for men,the number was 49. Dr.Tunney said,“People who were extremely satisfied with their li ves had twice the number of friends of people who were extremely dissatisfied.” Women tended to have fewer friends than men but formed tighter relationships.Interestingly,the study found that childhood friends are no more likely to make us happy than people we become close to later in life. Lottery winners,however,have a different opinion on life. They are always happier than others despite spending their time with a small circle of old friends. This could be because they trust people they’ve known for a long time. 32.What’s the best title for this passage?A.The Secret to Happiness Is to Make New FriendsB.Having at Least 10 Good Friends Makes People HappyC.Why Most People Like to Make Friends RegularlyD.Men’s and Women’s Friends Are Different33.Which of the following opinions may Richard Tunney NOT agree with?A.People with few friends are sure to be unhappy.B.Our friends can make us happy.C.Happiness may come from a good marriage life.D.We may become happier if we have more friends.34.According to the passage,lottery winners ________.A.enjoy making new friendsB.make new friends easilyC.like staying with old friendsD.have no time to make friends35.We can conclude from the passage that ________.A.it’s enough for one person to have ten friendsB.unhappy people must have few friendsC.childhood friends make people happier than adulthood onesD.friendships play a major role in people’s life第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
