22、e brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 20 The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, painfree life equals happiness actually reduces 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

23、 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. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious comm

24、itment (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 he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventu

25、re, 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 vacation. I dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to h

26、ave 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 the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increa

27、se 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: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. 21 According to the

28、 author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because_. （ A） he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities （ B） he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single （ C） he finds more fun in dating than in marriage （ D） he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitem

29、ent 22 To understand what true happiness is, one must_. （ A） have as much run as possible during ones lifetime （ B） make every effort to liberate oneself from pain （ C） put up with pain under all circumstances （ D） be able to distinguish happiness from fun 23 According to the authors opinion, _. （ A

30、） happiness is different from fun （ B） fun always leads to happiness （ C） happiness is always originated from fun （ D） pain is another kind of happiness 23 When I saw the notice “Women film extras wanted“ in a local newspaper, I jumped at the chance. Since childhood, I had dreamt of being a film sta

31、r. The casting interview went well, and two days later I was told that I had been chosen. I was to lose some of my enthusiasm for the idea, however extras are often left in the dark for some time as to which role they will play. Finally, the nature of my role was revealed: I was asked to play a ment

32、al hospital patient. Despite my disappointment, I agreed to participate. Then, barely a week later, the day of filming dawned. An 13 of us extras, mainly housewives, were driven to an old hospital. The coffee and tea they served us looked and tasted like cement. Then we were rushed off to make-up. M

33、y hair was pinned back and make-up was applied that gave me a pale appearance. Then we just sat in a minibus for a few hours, as the cameras rolled elsewhere. After the second hour had passed I was becoming bored. I bet stars are never treated like this, I thought. I had expected to be so busy that

34、I hadnt come prepared for a long wait. Many of the others had brought a book or knitting. Three hours had now passed. Then at last we were called to do our scenes. When the director came in, we were instructed where to stand and what to do. Along with a few others, I was told to sit at a table and w

35、eave baskets. This was not an easy task. The cane (藤条 ) we had to use was very long. On several occasions my basket fell apart in front of my very eyes. On others I only succeeded in hitting a cameraman in the eye. Life for the other extras was far from easy. Jean, who was barefoot, had to circle th

36、e floor. Poor Alice was asked to pretend to bang her head against the wall. Meanwhile, Veronica swept the floor. Thankfully, after just a few attempts, the scenes were done. And so my first taste of this “glorious“ career was over. Although I found the experience quite interesting, my first screen r

37、ole will almost certainly be my last. 24 The word “extras“ used in this story means people who_. （ A） play unimportant parts in a film （ B） have little experience of acting （ C） pretend to be film stars （ D） need a part-time job 25 According to the story, which of the following statements is true ab

38、out the author? （ A） She understood clearly that most film stars used to be extras. （ B） She didnt refuse the role assigned to her although she didnt like it. （ C） Unlike other women who were reading or knitting, she was busy with her scene. （ D） The only thing she did well was to use the cane as a

39、weapon. 26 Alice, one of the 13 women extras, was probably playing the role of_. （ A） a doctor working in the mental hospital （ B） a nurse who was helping her patients （ C） another patient with mental problem （ D） another housewife busy with her work 27 For the author, the first experience of acting

40、 in a film was_. （ A） almost all adventure （ B） a real nightmare （ C） very inspiring （ D） quite unpleasant 28 The best title for this story could be_. （ A） In Fashion （ B） On Camera （ C） A Fancy Dream （ D） A Great Career 28 Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestert

41、own, Maryland, decided to 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 (实验对象 ) sat before a computer screen and

42、pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized 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 lette

43、rs transformed into a different 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. T

44、he fourth test required people to 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. Active smokers tended not only to have poo

45、rer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details. “As our tests became more complex,“ sums up Spilich, “non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins.“ He predicts, “smokers might perform adequately at many jobs until they got compl

46、icated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.“ 29 The purpose of George Spilichs experiments is_. （ A） to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokers （ B） to show how

47、smoking damages peoples mental capacity （ C） to prove that smoking affects peoples regular performance （ D） to find out whether smoking helps peoples short-term memory 30 George Spilichs experiment was conducted in such a way as to_. （ A） compel the subjects to separate major information from minor

48、details （ B） put the subjects through increasingly complex tests （ C） check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokers （ D） register the prompt responses of the subjects 31 The word “bested“ (Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means_. （ A） beat （ B） envied （ C） caught up with （ D） made the best of 32 Whic

49、h of the following statements is true? （ A） Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers. （ B） Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects. （ C） Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks. （ D） Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks. 33 We can infer from the last paragraph tha
