When that happens, it is 16 to think that it was a mistake
16、to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in 17 too much from the first reading of a(n) 18 book.

24、untries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed. In most countries
25、and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to “spend” a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But no
26、t in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be greatly lower taxes in America, which increase the rewards to work. Another may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives. Longer hours do of course increase the GDP (国内生产总值 ). So the United States has produ
27、ced more per worker than, say, France. The United States also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is t
28、he same. It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in interest. It is too early to explain the different trends（趋势） in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing
29、idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance 41.From the text we know that the author_. A. believes that longer working hours is better B. prefers shorter working hours to l

C. Germany. D. America. 43.In the last paragraph, the underlined word “which” refers to _. A. family life
31、 B. situations C. other values D. trends 44.What message can we get from the text A. The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America. B. Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US. C. People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer. D. Americans are happier
32、 than Europeans. 45.Which of the following would be the best title for the text A. Americans and Europeans B. Staying at Home C. Work and Productivity D. Work and Happiness 答案： 4145 CDCBD Short and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket
33、anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in Englands rural Devonshire. It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then h
34、e began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon. The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic
35、Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgways school of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older mans cold-water exploits (成就 ). Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future. Journeys to th
36、e Pole arent the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. “John Ridgway was one of the few who didnt say, You are completely crazy, ” Saunders says. In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the
37、 North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a closer encounter(遭遇 ) with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit. Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and hes skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the
38、 transformation. This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis. 46.

42、n in the 1960s 答案： 4650 BDADB Susan Sontag (1933 2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, pu
43、blishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture. Seriousness was on
44、e of Sontags lifelong watchwords (格言 ), but at a time when the barriers (障碍 )between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In “Notes Camp”, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-kno
45、wn set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. “Notes on Camp”, she wrote, represents “a victory of form over content, beauty over morals ”. By conviction (信念 ) she was a sensualist(感觉论者 ), but by nature she was a moralist(伦理学者 ), and in the works she publishe
46、d in the 1970s and 1980s , it was the latter side of her that came forward. In illness as Metaphor published in 1978, after she suffered cancershe argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities (被压抑的性格 ), a concept that effectively blamed the victim for
47、the disease. In fact, re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit. In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000. But it was as a tireless all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame. “Sometim
48、es,” she once said,“I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.” And in the end, she made us take it seriously too. 51.The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means Sontag _.
