Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happines
24、s today?Many have sought a variety of sources for their feeling of happiness. Some have put their heart and efforts into their work. Too many turned to drugs and alcohol. Meanwhile, untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars, exotic vacation homes and other popular “toys“.
25、 Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact: people are looking for a lasting source of happiness.Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes from many people because they misunderstand the journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, “Ill be happy when I get my new promot
26、ion,“ or “I11 be happy when I get that extra 20 pounds.“ It is dangerous because it accepts that happiness is a “response“ to having, being or doing something.In life, we all experience stimulus and response. Today, some people think that an expensive car is stimulus. Happiness is a response. A grea
27、t paying job is stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling: “Ill be happy when .“It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we t
28、end to have more success in our work. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is not a response but a stimulus.Happiness is a conscious choice we make in daily life. For unknown reasons to me, many choose to be upset and angry most of the
29、time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we wantwe usually get things we want after we choose to be happy.(分数:10.00)(1).From the second paragraph, we know too many people_.(分数:2.00)A.are not happy when they work hardB.are not happy when they drink or take drugsC.all
30、 desire exotic vacation homesD.are happy when they possess their own expensive cars(2).Generally speaking, most people feel happy because_.(分数:2.00)A.they think happiness is rooted in their deep heartsB.they get what they want to haveC.they get a long vacationD.they get a great paying job(3).In the
31、authors opinion, which of the following is the most important if you want to be happy?(分数:2.00)A.Losing weight,B.An expensive car.C.Success in work.D.Feeling happy.(4).Which of the following is right according to the author?(分数:2.00)A.If you want to get what you want, you first choose to be happy.B.
32、Most people today are happy.C.Work is a necessary part in our daily life.D.We should try to get more and then well be happy.(5).From the viewpoint of the author, happiness is_.(分数:2.00)A.limitedB.out of reachC.unconditionalD.based on our needsBText 2/BSome futurologists have assumed that the vast up
33、surge of women in the workforce may portend a rejection of marriage. Many women, according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry. The converse of this concern is that the prospects of becoming a multi-paycheck household could encourage marriage. In the past, only the earnings and financia
34、l prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now, however, the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to putting off marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rain
35、y days ahead. As the economy comes to life, the number of marriages also rises.The increase in divorce rates follows to the increase in women working outside the home. Yet, it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect conclusions. The impact of a wifes work on divorce is no less cloudy tha
36、n its impact on marriage decisions. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage. But the reverse is equally plausible (似是而非的). Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role in ending
37、a marriage. By raising a familys standard of living, a working wife may strengthen her familys financial and emotional stability.Psychological factors also should be considered. For example, a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as se
38、eking a divorce. On the other hand, if she can find fulfillment through work outside the home, work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union.Also, a major part of womens inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that, in most cases, men have remained the main bre
39、adwinners. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple reacts to these new conditions, it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities.(分数:10.00)(1).The word “portend“ in the first sentence of the passage is closes
40、t in meaning to“_“.(分数:2.00)A.signalB.defyC.suffer fromD.result from(2).It is said in the passage that when the economy slides_.(分数:2.00)A.men would choose working women as their marriage partnersB.more women would get married to seek financial securityC.even working women would worry about their ma
41、rriagesD.more people would prefer to remain single for the time being(3).If women find fulfillment through work outside the home,_.(分数:2.00)A.they are more likely to dominate their marriage partnersB.their husbands are expected to do more houseworkC.their marriage ties can be strengthenedD.they tend
42、 to put their career before marriage(4).One reason why women with no career may seek a divorce is that_.(分数:2.00)A.they feel that they have been robbed of their freedomB.they are afraid of being bossed around by their husbandsC.they feel that their partners fail to live up to their expectationsD.the
43、y tend to suspect their husbands loyalty to their marriage(5).Which of the following statements can best summarize the authors view in the passage?(分数:2.00)A.The stability of marriage and the divorce rate may reflect the economic situation of the country.B.Even when economically independent, most wo
44、men have to struggle for real equality in marriage.C.In order to secure their marriage women should work outside the home and remain independent.D.The impact of the growing female workforce on marriage varies from case to case.BText 3/BAmerican society reports many negative messages about bicycling
45、in traffic. Bicycling in traffic is considered by many to be reckless, foolhardy, and sometimes rude. The most common advice given to cyclists is to avoid busy roads that provide convenient access to important places; presumably cyclists should only go to unpopular destinations on undesirable and in
46、convenient roads. Another popular idea is that cyclists should stay as close to the edge of the road as possible in order to stay out of the way of cars. Getting in the way of cars is supposedly an invitation to certain death, because car drivers are often expected to run into anything that is slowe
47、r or more vulnerable. The rules of the road that apply to bicyclists are considered to be of no use because they involve mixed with motor traffic, which is thought to be suicide. Roads are believed to be designed for cars and not for bicycles, which are tolerated at the pleasure of motorists, who re
48、ally own the roads. Inferior bicyclists may have an obsolete legal right to use the road, but they had better stay out of the way of superior users or they will be “dead right“.As a result of these “common-sense“ beliefs, American bike-safety programs developed by motoring organizations and “pedestr
49、ian-style“ bicyclists during the twentieth century attempted to teach cyclists to provide a clear path to motorists at all times by hugging the edge of the road, riding on sidewalks where present, and even riding facing traffic so cyclists can see when to get out of the way. Some towns and states tri
