They were partying so happily that they forgot they were going to take an exam the next day.The next morning, they got up too late to take their exam. In order not to be punished, they thought of a plan which they believed was perfect. They made their clothes dirty and went to the teacher's office."Mr. Johnson, we went to a friend's house last night in another town. On the way back, our car got a flat tire(爆胎), so we had to push the cat all the way back to school. That's why we didn't make it for the exam."The teacher listened to their story, and told them in a kind voice, "It doesn't matter. I am going to give you another chance to take the test three days later." The four students thanked him and left happily.The test day arrived in the end. The teacher asked them, "I am going to put each one of you in a different room for the test. Are you OK with that?""OK", the students were fine with that because they had all studied hard.

The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it.Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface, too. Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away. That fish might not be so big after all! It's just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!What's more, in deeper water, colors just don't seem as bright. In fact, it looks as if some colors are missing. Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths(波长)of light that are reflected(反射)from its surface. And light is taken in as it moves down through the water.Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater. Let's take a bright red, yellow, and blue wet suit as an example. These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the changes in color as you descend in the water. The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths, the longest among these three colors, are missing. As you go down deeper, the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater, you will look terrible, like a ghost! And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again!(1)You miss the object underwater when you want to touch it because ______.A.your eyesight is quite poorB.you are not quick enoughC.it is not as close as it seemsD.it disappears very quickly(2)The example of the wet suit is used to explain the change of ______ of an object under water.A.the size B.the color C.the position D.the weight(3)The underlined word "descend" probably means ______ in Chinese in this passage.A.上升 B.漂浮 C.屏息 D.下潜(4)Which of the following is true?A. four-meter-long fish looks three meters long underwater.B.The wavelengths of red light are longer than those of blue light.C.Much water will be taken in by the swimmer deep in the water.D.You will see a ghost if you go as deep as 6 to 9 meters into the sea.(5)The best title of this passage is ______.A.The Standard of Color UnderwaterB.The Direction of Light UnderwaterC.The Brightness of Color UnderwaterD.The Behavior of Light Underwater阅读短文,根据短文内容回答下列问题。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 on 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. 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. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.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.(1)How many pieces of advice on happiness is given in this passage? ________(2)According to this passage, what can make you happier, to think too much about the future or to enjoy life's simple pleasure? ________(3)Why do many people go dancing or play sports? ________(4)If we want to find happiness by helping others, what can we do?
