23、ces their chances of ever 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 th

24、e source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, self-improvement. Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will

25、 tell you that 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

26、a three-day vacation. I dont know any parent who would choose the word “fun“ to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children will 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

27、do with fun is one of the 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 l

28、iberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. 37 According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because he _. （ A） is reluctant to take on family responsibilities （ B） believes that life will be more cheerful

29、 if he remains single （ C） finds more fun in dating than in marriage （ D） fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement 38 Raising children, in the authors opinion, is a _. （ A） moral duty （ B） thankless job （ C） rewarding task （ D） source of inevitable pain 39 From the last parag

30、raph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from _. （ A） hatred （ B） misunderstanding （ C） prejudice （ D） ignorance 40 To understand what true happiness is, one must _. （ A） have as much fun as possible during ones lifetime （ B） make every effort to liberate oneself from pain （ C） put up with pain unde

31、r all circumstances （ D） be able to distinguish happiness from fun 41 What is the author trying to tell us? （ 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. 41 Even plants

32、can run a fever, especially when theyre under attack by insects or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away straight up. A decade ago, adapting the infrared scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Pal

33、ey came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that dont have pest problems. Even better, Paleys Remote S

34、canning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running “fevers“. Farmers cou

35、ld then spot-spray, using 50% to 70% less pesticide than they otherwise would. The bad news is that Paleys company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and r

36、efinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75% of agricultural land in the United States,“ says George Oerther of Texas A M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of A

37、griculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only If Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago. 42 Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are _. （ A） sprayed with pesticides （ B） facing an infrared scan

38、ner （ C） in poor physical condition （ D） exposed to excessive sun rays 43 In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to _. （ A） estimate the damage to the crops （ B） draw a color-coded map （ C） measure the size of the affected area （ D） locate the problem area 44 Fa

39、rmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by _. （ A） resorting to spot-spraying （ B） consulting infrared scanning experts （ C） transforming poisoned rain （ D） detecting crop problems a an early date 45 The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties

40、due to _. （ A） the lack of official support （ B） its high cost （ C） the lack of financial support （ D） its failure to help increase production 46 Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of _. （ A） the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce （ B） grow

41、ing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops （ C） the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture （ D） full support from agricultural experts 46 A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not

42、lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better. A charge m

43、ade against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive

44、, sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, well-authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this a

45、rises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered. There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed drag

46、ons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If thei

47、r case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl friend. Not fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child ha

48、d ever believed that it was. 47 In the writers opinion, a fairy tale _. （ A） cannot be read to children without variation because they find no pleasure in it （ B） will be more effective if it is adapted by parents （ C） must be made easy so that children can read it on their own （ D） is no longer nee

49、ded in developing childrens power of memory 48 According to the passage, some people who are openly against fairy tales argue that _. （ A） fairy tales are harmful to children in that they show the primitive cruelty in children （ B） fairy tales are ha .harmful to children unless they have been adapted by their parents （ C） fairy tales increase a tendency to sadism in children （ D） children who have read fairy
