27、fe 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 people avo
28、id 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, self-improvement. Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less sat
29、isfying. 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 infant children are lucky
30、 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 will never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild. Understanding and accepting that
31、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 increase our happiness
32、 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. 46 According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _. （ A） he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities （ B） he believe
33、s 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 excitement 47 Raising children, in the authors opinion, is _. （ A） a moral duty （ B） a thankless job （ C） a rewarding task （ D） a sou
34、rce of inevitable pain 48 From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from _. （ A） hatred （ B） misunderstanding （ C） prejudice （ D） ignorance 49 To understand what true happiness is one must _. （ A） have as much fun as possible during ones lifetime （ B） make every effort to liberate
35、oneself from pain （ C） put up with pain under all circumstances （ D） be able to distinguish happiness from fun 50 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 p
36、ain that leads to happiness. 50 Although few would deny that it is better to be rich than poor, for some people the quest for money is so all-consuming that it extinguishes all other aspects of life. The cause of the urge to make enormous sums of money varies with the individual, but often money is
37、a substitute for something a persons life lacks. To some, money means security. To some, it means power. To others ,it means the possibility of love, and to a fourth group, it means competition and winning the game. A tremendous need for power is invariably the bottom line for those driven to make a
38、 lot of money. The bigger the pile, the more powerful they think they will feel. Parents and family back ground also influence a persons pursuit of money. Many people who grew up poor and then made a fortune live in fear that they will lose it. Others strive for money to compete with their wealthy,
39、successful parents. Making money for its own sake can be addicting like high-stakes gambling. The more they earned ,the bigger their appetite. They paid great price for their insatiability for money in terms of their living quality. For example, their obsession with money-making renders them unable
40、to enjoy what they have earned. Instead, they just work at such an intense pace and under such strenuous pressure that they totally neglected themselves. Hence the emergence of various kinds of psychological and physical problems, like impotence, insomnia, heart attacks and problems with a spouse or
41、 children. 51 The cause of the compulsion to make enormous sums of money _. （ A） is rooted in peoples minds （ B） is pushed in America （ C） is considered unsocial （ D） varies with the individuals 52 In the authors point of view, money is _. （ A） love （ B） power （ C） security （ D） a substitute for som
42、ething a persons life lacks 53 According to the author, the bottom line for having too much money is _. （ A） the need for power （ B） for the sake of money （ C） the pursuit of security （ D） an arrangement for the future 54 The word “obsession“ (Para 3)in this passage means _. （ A） disturbance （ B） pr
43、eoccupation （ C） compulsion （ D） passion 55 Which of the following statements can NOT be inferred from the passage? （ A） Family background influences a persons attitude towards money. （ B） Money is the root of all evils. （ C） Obsession with money-making can exert a negative influence on living quali
44、ty; （ D） A cautious attitude towards money is recommended. 55 “The Internet is re-drawing the media landscape and will continue to do so for decades to come, but traditional media will not be left out of the picture“, argue two journalism professors from University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa. Ed Mullins
45、, chairman of the Journalism Department, and Jim Stovall, the founder of Dateline Alabama, the news website of the College of Communication and Information Sciences, agree that the future of the web is still a mystery, but in the near future, it will serve more as a helpmate to traditional media. “N
46、obody knows where the Web is taking us, but when it comes to journalism, old media will be dominant players in the new media game,“ Mullins believes. “Some rating services report that most Americans go to sites operated by old-line media when looking for news on the web.“ Just as national old media
47、dominate the Web at that level, local old media run mostly by news papers and, to a lesser degree, by television stations dominate those markets. Is there a pattern here? Mullins and Stovall suggest that“ At least in the first decade of the Web, newspaper companies dominate Web journalism ,because t
48、hey specialize in news, and that gives them an advantage. Most readers browse through the websites for news and e-mail, a form of person-to-person news, especially in the form of chatting.“ The reason for newspapers dominance in web journalism, Stovall points out, is that they have the biggest inves
49、tment in news. “The Birmingham News, for example ,with about 175 positions, has more journalists on its payroll than all of the states broadcast, cable, and Web-only entities combined.“ 56 What role does the Internet play in journalism according to paragraph 1? （ A） It dominates the media market. （ B） It is likely to threaten the future of traditional media. （ C） It becomes a helpful partner of print media. （ D） It r
