Happiness【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章主要論述了快樂(lè)無(wú)處不在，只要你抓住你的每一次機(jī)會(huì)，你就會(huì)快樂(lè)。（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)Happinessisforeveryone.可知，快樂(lè)是每一個(gè)人的，也就是所有人的，故答案是A。（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)Whenyoudosomethingwrong,peoplearoundyouwillhelpyoutocorrectit.

可知，當(dāng)你做錯(cuò)了事，你身邊的人不幫助你改正。故答案是B。（3）句意猜測(cè)題，一般而言，金錢(qián)可以買(mǎi)到一切物質(zhì)性的東西，但是快樂(lè)是內(nèi)心的一種感受，是不能夠用金錢(qián)買(mǎi)到的，因此說(shuō)金錢(qián)并不能夠總是買(mǎi)到一切。故答案是A。（4）標(biāo)題判斷題，從文章的第一句Happinessisforeveryone.到文章的最后一句youwillbeahappyandluckyperson.都是圍繞著快樂(lè)展開(kāi)論述的，故答案是D?！军c(diǎn)評(píng)】考查閱讀理解，本題主要涉及到了細(xì)節(jié)理解題、句意猜測(cè)題和標(biāo)題判斷題，細(xì)節(jié)理解題一般可以直接從文中找到答案，句意猜測(cè)則需要根據(jù)其字面意思或者該句的前后句進(jìn)行合理的想象和推理，而標(biāo)題判斷題則需要在從分理解文章的基礎(chǔ)上，提煉中心，凝練句式。3．閱讀理解
