It is no use starting late in life to say: “I

26、will take an interest in this or that.“ Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort. A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work, and yet hardly get any benefit or relief. It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do.Broadly speak

27、ing, human being may be divided into three classes: those who are tired to death, those who are worded to death, and those who are bored to death. It is no use offering the manual laborer, tired out with a hard weeks sweat and effort, the chance of playing a game of football or baseball on Saturday

28、afternoon. It is no use inviting the politician or the professional or business man, who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days, to work or worry about trifling things at the weekend.It may also be said that rational, industrious, useful human beings are divided into two clas

29、ses: first, those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly, those whose work and pleasure are one. Of these the former are the majority. They have their compensations. The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of sustenance

30、, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and most modest forms.But Fortunes favored children belong to the second class. Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays when they come are viewed as enforce

31、d interruptions in an absorbing vacation. Yet to both classes the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a diversion of effort, is essential. Indeed, it may well be that those whose work is their pleasure are those who most need the means of forgetting about their work from ti

32、me to time.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the author think of hobbies in peoples lives?（分数：2.00）A.It is never too late to learn a few new tricks.B.It can help us acquire a lot of work-related knowledge.C.It can offer help and relief for us.D.It is needed for us to be really happy.(2).Which one of the follo

33、wing is NOT mentioned as humans sufferings in life?（分数：2.00）A.Too much tiring work to do.B.Too much worries to put them under stress.C.Too little interesting things going on.D.To regret after we loss something or someone.(3).Who constitutes the fortunes favored children?（分数：2.00）A.Those who always w

34、ork and play at the same time.B.Those who drew a clear line between work and pleasure.C.Those who can get pleasure out of their work.D.Those who choose to enjoy their life over working when the two conflict.(4).According to the authors division of human beings in paragraph 3, how does the second cla

35、ss feel about vocations?（分数：2.00）A.They welcome the holidays and regard them as a another way to enjoy life other than their work.B.They think these holidays are disturbing since they can not continue their work.C.They fine them relaxing after long hours of work although they liked their work so muc

36、h.D.They believe they can absorb more work-related information while they take the holidays.(5).What kind of suggestion does the author give at the end of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Those who separates their pleasure from work should learn to enjoy their work.B.Those who enjoy their work should continue

37、 doing so since it is the best way.C.Those who do not pay enough attention to work should get serious.D.Those who can not get away from their work should learn to relax although work is already their pleasures.BText 2/B“Those with a large social circle are actually less satisfied with their lives th

38、an those with a smaller group of friends who are close to them.“ This finding appears in a report released last week, which is a part of the product of a 1-year social research program. More than 1,000 persons are interviewed about their attitude and feeling for their friends. And those interviewed

39、are diversified, from the perspective of gender, age, and occupation as well as marital statues.“Of course, we can not imagine a life without any friend“, said Jeff, one of the researchers from the research program, “but when it comes to friends, it is definitely not a matter of the more, the better

40、“. He also pointed out that with our growing up, the life situation in front of us will become complicated, and some of the friends, especially those we made while doing business, will turn out to be more like a burden than a support, which may sound surprising to those who havent put too much thoug

41、ht into this issue.If you are really busy, and some friendships seem to have nothing to offer you at the moment, maybe you can consider cooling the relationship for a while. When these friends invite you to a social gathering and you do not have the time to do so, decline such invitations politely.

42、When they call you for a casual chat, and you are really having your hands full at that particular time, try to control that call to a time period acceptable for you.We use the term “to cool some friendship“, because we are by no means indicating a utilitarianism attitude towards friendship-an attit

43、ude that the value of a friend would be determined by whether or not he/she is useful for us. We agree with the general belief that friendship should be kept as something pure and lasting. What we are suggesting here is how to find a balance between the quality and quantity of friends.So, for those

44、friendships we cooled off for a while, if you dont want to cut them off completely, you can organize some gatherings with a few such friends on a quarterly or even yearly basis. By doing so, you can keep several friendships going on at once.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following factor is NOT mentione

45、d when discussing the persons interviewed in the research?（分数：2.00）A.What kind of job they are doing.B.How old they are.C.How much money they earn per year.D.Whether they are married or not.(2).What is the authors purpose in quoting “Of course, we can not imagine a life without any friend“?（分数：2.00）

46、A.To show his sympathy for those who hasnt got any friends in life.B.To introduce the topic of the quality and quantity of friends.C.To disagree with the finding from the research.D.To show the authors surprise when heating the finding.(3).In paragraph 3, the author mentions friends invitation to so

47、cial gatherings and a phone for casual chat in order to.（分数：2.00）A.Prove the idea that friendships sometimes can be nothing but a waste of time.B.Show us that no matter how busy we are, we still need all our friends.C.Indicate the idea of “ask what your friends can do for you, but what you can do fo

48、r your friends“.D.Give us some examples to deal with some friendships we need to cool off.(4).What does the word “utilitarianism“ (Para 4 Line 2) mean in the context?（分数：2.00）A.Utmost.B.Practical.C.Hostile.D.Indifferent.(5).What is the best title for this passage?（分数：2.00）A.Friends: More like a Burd

49、en than a Support.B.A Life without Friends is Meaningless.C.Friends: When Less is More.D.Cut Off the Unwanted Friends.BText 3/BYou may come into an empty office after you are told that the school principal is expecting you in her office; you may be called at the last minute to come to class after you were told that the cla
