22、 attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness.

23、 They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (承担的义务), self-improvement.Ask a bachelor (单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that

24、 he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three-day vac

25、ation. I dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of t

26、he most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy:

27、we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.（分数：6.00）(1).According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because_.（分数：1.00）A.he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB.he believes that life will be more cheerful if he rema

28、ins singleC.he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD.he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement(2).Raising children, in the authors opinion, is_.（分数：1.00）A.a moral dutyB.a thankless jobC.a rewarding taskD.a source of inevitable pain(3).From the last paragraph, we learn

29、that envy sometimes stems from_.（分数：1.00）A.hatredB.misunderstandingC.prejudiceD.ignorance(4).To understand what true happiness is, one must_.（分数：1.00）A.have as much run as possible during ones lifetimeB.make every effort to liberate oneself from painC.put up with pain under all circumstancesD.be abl

30、e to distinguish happiness from fun(5).What is the author trying to tell us?（分数：1.00）A.Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.B.One must know how to attain happiness.C.It is important to make commitments.D.It is pain that leads to happiness.(6).According to the authors opinion,_.（分数：1.00）A.happ

31、iness is different from funB.fun always leads to happinessC.happiness is always originated from funD.pain is another kind of happiness十、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Its very interesting to note where the debate about diversity (多样化) is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circles. He

32、re at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate (公司的) leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imp

33、erative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool of potential employees. And in looking at where birth rates are growing and at where the population is shifting, corporate America understands that expanding the pool means promoting policies that h

34、elp provide skills to more minorities, more women and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that doesnt occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientists, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need.Likewise, I dont hear people in the academy saying “Lets go b

35、ackward. Lets go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy (不拘一格选人才)” (which was never truewe never had a meritocracy, although weve come closer to it in the last 30 years). I recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus has doubled its minority population in the l

36、ast six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is better because of the diversity. So where we hea

42、find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to “think and concentrate“. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剥夺) of cigarettes through a series of tests.In the first test, each subject (试验对象) sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he o

43、r she reeognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and nonsmokers performed equally well.The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a differen

44、t one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.The fourth test required people to

45、 read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing.
