23、nfree 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 opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain. As a result, many pe
24、ople 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 commitment (承担的义务), self-improvement. Ask a bachelor (单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating t
25、o 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, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features. Couples with inf
26、ant 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 have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild. Understanding an
27、d 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 increase our happiness. It liberates money, buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to incre
28、ase 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.（分数：6.00）(1).According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because_.（分数：2.00）A.he is reluctant to take on family re

31、n is another kind of happinessWhen 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 star. 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
32、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 mental hospital patient. Despite my disappointment, I agreed to participate. Then, barely a week later, the day of filming dawned.
33、 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. My 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,
34、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 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
35、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 weave 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
36、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 the floor. Poor Alice was asked to pretend to bang her head against the wall. Meanwhile, Veronica swept the floor. Thankfully, af
37、ter 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 role will almost certainly be my last.（分数：10.00）(1).The word “extras“ used in this story means people who_.（分数：2.00）A.play unimp
38、ortant parts in a filmB.have little experience of actingC.pretend to be film starsD.need a part-time job(2).According to the story, which of the following statements is true about the author?（分数：2.00）A.She understood clearly that most film stars used to be extras.B.She didnt refuse the role assigned
39、 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 weapon.(3).Alice, one of the 13 women extras, was probably playing the role of_.（分数：2.00）A.a doctor working in the mental hospitalB
40、.a nurse who was helping her patientsC.another patient with mental problemD.another housewife busy with her work(4).For the author, the first experience of acting in a film was_.（分数：2.00）A.almost all adventureB.a real nightmareC.very inspiringD.quite unpleasant(5).The best title for this story could
41、 be_.（分数：2.00）A.In FashionB.On CameraC.A Fancy DreamD.A Great CareerPsychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to “think and concentrate“. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smoker
42、s 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 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
43、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 different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.In
44、 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 read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than
45、active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details. “As our tests became more complex,“ sums up Spilich, “non-smokers
46、 performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins.“ He predicts, “smokers might perform adequately at many jobs until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.“（分数：12.00）(1).
47、The purpose of George Spilichs experiments is_.（分数：2.00）A.to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokersB.to show how smoking damages peoples mental capacityC.to prove that smoking affects peoples regular performanceD.to find out whether smoking helps peoples short-term memory(2).George Spilichs experiment was conducted in such a way as to_.（分数：2.00）A.compel the subjects to separate major information from minor detailsB.put the subjects through increasingly complex testsC.check the effectiveness of ni
