24、any people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers.According to Gabe Rothsclild, Emerald Valleys mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carryingheavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they foundinstead was a sky so brigh
25、tened by the citys lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.“My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this anunforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointments.”Astronomers-scientists who study stars and pl
26、anets-have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quiteeasily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.There is yet a population besides profession
27、al and amateur star observers that suffers even more from lightpollution. This population consists of birds, bats frogs snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severelyaffects migrating(迁徙的)birds. According to the International Dark-Sky Association. “100 million birds ayear throughout NorthAmeric
28、a die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”Countless more animals casualties(伤亡）result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy thebenefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worrythat exposure to light while sleep
29、ing can increase persons chances of getting cancer.Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution.For years, Flagstaff,Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at theLowell Observatory.

34、ade to save energyC. Human activities should be environmentally friendlyD. New equipment should be introduced for space studyC.Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life that by the narrowroad toward goals. I like this image. But I as quite by accident that I
35、 discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents home in Boise in nine hours.Wetraveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest easiest road, especially when I was alone with fournoisy,restless kids who hates confinement(限制)and h
36、ave strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast,stopping only when I had to.We would stick to the freeways andarrive tired.But then Banner,our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise.Ihad two choices: leave Banner with my hus
37、band, or take him with me.My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlastingoptimism to see me through.We took the country roads out of necessity.We had to stop every hour, let Bannershake out his legs and feed him.Th
38、e kids chased him and one another. Theyd get back in the car breathlessand energized,smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads,catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the carwindows at baby pigs following their mother,or fish leaping out of the water,
39、 it was better than the best ridedown the freeway. Here was life.And new horizons(见识).We eventually arrived at my parentsdoorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique.On an empty section ofroad,everyone started quarr
40、eling.I stopped the car,ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead.Iparked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight.But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a worldavailable to anyone adventurous enough to wander aro
41、und and made me realize that a detour may uncoverthe best part of a journey-and the best part of yourself.46.Why did the author use to take freeways to her parentshome?A.It was less timeB.It would be faster and saferC.Her kids would feel less confinedD.She felt better with other drivers nearby47.The

44、n50.What could be the best title for the passage?A.Charm of the DetourB.The Road to BraveryC.Creativity out of NecessityD.Road trip and Country Life D.When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, whichseems to get rarer the older we get.For kids, happ
45、iness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike isunreserved(毫不掩饰的).In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly its conditional on such things asexcitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with th
46、e mostattractive boy at the school party.In adulthood the things that bring deep joy-love, marriage, birth-also bring responsibility and the riskof loss. For adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的) My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, thehappi
47、er we are. Its easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to livewhere we please, and even good health.I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-boxand had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrup
48、ted morning writing, which I love. When the kids andmy husband came home,I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I dontthink that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. S
49、he did have a network of closefriends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness intoone more thing weve got to have. Weve so self-conscious about our “right” to it that its making usmiserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who havethose things arent necessarily happierHappiness isnt about what happens to us-its about how we see what happens to us. Its the skillful wayof finding a positive for ev
