14、l be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by alcohol. It takes about one hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink.

15、 morning, or you could even find that youre still over the legal limit.

Passage Three 10 Years ago, a cigarette commercial asked if you were s
23、moking more, but enjoying it less. That describes the way many of us live today. We are doing more, but enjoying it less. And when that doesnt work, we make the problem worse. In our wild search for satisfaction, we try stuffing still more into our days, never realizing that we are taking the wrong
24、approach. The truth is simple: so simple it is hard to believe. Satisfaction lies with less, not with more. Yet, we pursue the illusion that this thing, or that activity, will somehow provide the satisfaction we so desperately seek. Arthur Lindman, in his hard-hitting(直言不讳的 )book, The Harried Leisur
25、e Class, described the futility(徒劳 )of pursuing more. His research focused on what people did with their leisure time. He found that as income rose, people bought more things to occupy their leisure time. But, the more things they bought, the less they valued any one of them. Carried to an extreme,
26、he predicted massive boredom in the midst of tremendous variety. That was more than twenty years ago, and his prediction seems more accurate every year. Lindman, of course, is not the first to discover this. The writer of Ecclesiastes(传道书 )expressed the same thought thousands of years ago. It is bet
27、ter, he wrote, to have less, but enjoy it more. If you would like to enjoy life more, I challenge you to experiment with me. How could you simplify your life? What could you drop? What could you do without? What could you stop pursuing? What few things could you concentrate on? The more I learn, the
28、 more I realize that fullness of life does not depend on things. The more I give up, the more I seem to gain. But words will never convince you. You must try it for yourself. 11 Why do people become increasingly busy according to the passage? （ A） Because they want to make more money. （ B） Because t

30、 things. （ D） It enables them to have more leisure time. 13 Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the truth of life according to the passage? （ A） It sounds too simple to believe. （ B） Lindman was the first to discover the truth. （ C） It becomes increasingly precise over the years. （ D） The more
31、people have, the more bored they get. 14 What does the writer suggest people do for better life? （ A） Reflect on the nature of life. （ B） Accept the daily challenges boldly. （ C） Try to make life more challenging. （ D） Follow his opinion in their daily life. 15 Which of the following can be the best
