湖北省荆门市沙洋县毛李中学教联体2023-2024学年八年级下学期期中检测英语试题

Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens or those who have nice cars and a lot of money . Why?

In fact happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. When you help others, you will have a strong feeling of satisfaction and happiness, too. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. As the saying goes, "Life is like a revolving(旋转)door. "

If you take every chance you get, you will be a happy and lucky person.

A. Happiness is not the same as money.

B. When it closes, it also opens.

C. All of these are your happiness.

D. Because those rich people can also feel lonely and nervous.

E. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you.

F. If you have enough money, you will be happy.

 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

 When I was a teenager, my parents were never interested in the music I liked. They always said to me,"David, the music you listen to is noisy. Why do you like listening to it so much?" At the same time, they described the music that they liked as"beautiful".

 In fact, they are not the only ones who have this opinion. As I' ve grown older, I' ve often heard my friends say, "Today's music is terrible." Many older people just don't like new music. But why is that?

 The exposure effect(曝光效应) may explain this. It means the more familiar(熟悉的) we are with something, the more probably we will like it. When we are in our early teens, we usually spend a lot of time listening to popular music and discussing it with our friends. We come to understand the new songs and artists during this time really well. After we become 30 years old, we are busy working and raising our families. We don't have much time to look for new music. Instead, we like to listen to our old favorite songs that bring us back to our happy and simple days. According to studies, when we are 33 years old, most of us will completely stop exploring new music.

 But I think there is another reason why older people dislike new music. Most popular music, after all, is not written for them. It is made for young people. Some kinds of music began by young people as ways to fight against out-of-date things. These kinds include punk, rap, hip-hop, heavy metal and more. Younger people love them naturally.

 Do your parents hate the music you like, too? Now, after reading this article, you know there is nothing wrong with that.
