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無處不在，只要你抓住你的每一次機會，你就會快樂。（1）細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)Happinessisforeveryone.可知，快樂是每一個人的，也就是所有人的，故答案是A。（2）細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)Whenyoudosomethingwrong,peoplearoundyouwillhelpyoutocorrectit.

可知，當你做錯了事，你身邊的人不幫助你改正。故答案是B。（3）句意猜測題，一般而言，金錢可以買到一切物質(zhì)性的東西，但是快樂是內(nèi)心的一種感受，是不能夠用金錢買到的，因此說金錢并不能夠總是買到一切。故答案是A。（4）標題判斷題，從文章的第一句Happinessisforeveryone.到文章的最后一句youwillbeahappyandluckyperson.都是圍繞著快樂展開論述的，故答案是D?！军c評】考查閱讀理解，本題主要涉及到了細節(jié)理解題、句意猜測題和標題判斷題，細節(jié)理解題一般可以直接從文中找到答案，句意猜測則需要根據(jù)其字面意思或者該句的前后句進行合理的想象和推理，而標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
