12、ke earning a master s degree don t make people happy over an extended period of time. Rather, the key to happiness, and the difference between happy and unhappy Americans, is a life that reflects values and practices like: hard work, marriage, charity, and freedom.WorkWhen more than 1000 people acro
13、ss the country were asked in 2002. If you were to get enough money to live comfortably for the rest of your life, would you stop working? fewer than a third of the Americans answered yes.Contrary to widely held opinion, most Americans like or even love their work. In 2002 an amazing 89 percent of wo
14、rkers said they were very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with their jobs. This isnt true just for those with high-paying, highly skilled jobs but for all workers across the country. And the percentage is almost exactly the same among those with and without college degrees and among those working fo
15、r private companies, nonprofit organizations and the government.For most Americans, job satisfaction is nearly equivalent to life satisfaction. Among those people who say they are very happy in their lives, 95 percent are also satisfied with their jobs. Furthermore, job satisfaction would seem to be
16、 causing overall happiness, not the other way around.Marriage & FamilyIn 2004, 42 percent of married Americans said they were very happy. Just 23 percent of never-married people said this. Overall, married people were six times more likely to say that they were very happy than to report that they we
17、re not too happy. And generally speaking, married women say they re happy more often than married men.Marriage isn t just associated with happiness it brings happiness, at least for a lot of us. One 2003 study that followed 24,000 people for more than a decade documented a significant increase in ha
18、ppiness after people married. For some, the happiness increase wore off in a few years, and they ended up back at their premarriage happiness levels. But for others, it lasted as long as a lifetime.What about having kids? While children, on their own, don t appear to raise the happiness level(they a
19、ctually tend to slightly lower the happiness of a marriage). Studies suggest that children are almost always part of an overall lifestyle of happiness, which is likely to include such things as marriage and religion.CharityWe ve all heard that money doesn t buy happiness, and that s certainly true.
20、But there is one way to get it: Give money away.The evidence is clear that gifts to charitable organizations and other worthy causes bring substantial life satisfaction to the givers. If you want $ 50 in authentic happiness today just donate it to a favorite charity.People who give money to charity
21、are 43 percent more likely than non-givers to say they re very happy. Volunteers are 42 percent more likely to be very happy than non-volunteers. It doesn t matter whether the gifts of money go to churches or concerts: religious giving and unreligious giving leave people equally happy, and far happi
22、er than people who dont give. Even donating blood, an especially personal kind of giving, improves our attitude. Fundamentally, the more people give, the happier they get.FreedomIn fact, freedom and happiness are intimately related: People who consider themselves free are a lot happier than those wh
23、o don t. In 2000 the General Social Survey revealed that people who personally feel “completely free“ or “very free“ were twice as likely as those who dont say they re very happy about their lives.Not all types of freedom are the same in terms of happiness, however. Researchers have shown that econo
24、mic freedom brings happiness, as does political and religious freedom. On the other hand, moral freedoma lack of constraints on behavior does not. People who feel they have unlimited moral choices in their lives when it comes to matters of sex or drugs, for example, tend to be unhappier than those w
25、ho do not feel they have so many choices in life.Lessons for America(72)The data tell us that what matters most for happiness is not having a lot of things but having healthy values. Without these values, our jobs and our economy will bring us joyless riches. The facts can help remind us of what we
26、should be paying attention to as individuals and as families, if we want to be happy. Our happiness is simply too important to usand to Americato do anything less.31 What will probably bring about overall happiness?（A）To be satisfied with ones job.（B） To earn a lot of money.（C） To work for big compa
27、nies.（D）To gain a college degree.32 Generally, men in marriage_than women in marriage.（A）are probably under greater pressure（B） are more inclined to feel they are happy（C） are less likely to state they are happy（D）are contributing more to the family33 According to the author, in what way can money b
28、ring happiness?（A）Buy anything you want.（B） Give your money away.（C） Pay to listen to a concert.（D）Own a large amount of it.34 What rarely brings in happiness?（A）Religious freedom.（B） Economic freedom.（C） Political freedom.（D）Moral freedom.34 Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between t
29、he reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on.For most of the time this “conversation“ goes on below the level of consciousness. At times, however, we become aware of it. This is usually when we
30、 are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the pag
31、e: others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension which is written in the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between those is important, especially for advanced reade
32、rs.(73)There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a “ process“ conversation as opposed to a “content“ conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies we employ i
33、n reading. If we are an advanced reader, our ability to hold a process conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed. Not so our ability to hold a content conversation. It is precisely this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the
34、new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.35 According to the author, when will our reading become conscious?（A）When the reader s expectations match with what is said in the text.（B） When the reader has trouble understanding what the author says.（C） When the reader asks tough qu
35、estions and gets proper answers.（D）When the reader understands a text with no difficulties.36 At a lower level of comprehension, readers tend to_.（A）read a text slowly and carefully（B） read without thinking hard（C） interpret a text in their own way（D）focus on the meaning of words only37 A “process“
36、conversation has to do with_.（A）the application of reading strategies（B） matching our expectations with the meaning of a text（C） the development of our ability to check the details（D）determining the main idea of a text38 According to the passage, it is of great importance for readers at a higher lev
37、el to maintain a balance between_.（A）conscious and unconscious levels of comprehension（B） the reader s expectations and the meaning of a text（C） lower and higher levels of comprehension（D）interpreting and criticizing a text38 (74)The poverty line is the lowest income that people need for an acceptab
38、le standard of living. People with income below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.About ten percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could
39、 have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.For one thing, more than half of the people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work
40、 in many industries. And a large number of poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old.Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job. Other poor adults lo
41、ok for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways.First, if the national economy grows, compa
42、nies hire more workers. Some of the poor may find a job, and they will no longer be below the poverty line.Second, if the government spends money on social programs, education and training for the poor people, the poor will have the skill to offer. Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.Fina
43、lly, if the government distributes society s income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line.(75)The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare.Some economists are looking for better solutions to the po
44、verty problem. However, at the present time, many people still depend on welfare to live a poor life.39 The author s main purpose to write this article is _.（A）to inform us of what the poverty line is（B） to explain why some people are poor（C） to find solutions to the problem of poverty（D）to show sym
45、pathy for those poor people40 How many people are considered poor in the United States?（A）More than 50 percent.（B） About 10 percent.（C） Over 16 percent.（D）Over 40 percent.41 Most of the American poor people are not qualified for employment because _.（A）they do not have motivation to work（B） they are
46、 ill-educated and have few skills（C） they are too young or too old to work（D）they have physical and family problems42 What can we infer from the passage?（A）Better solutions to the poverty problems are not yet found.（B） Welfare system will enable people to become rich.（C） Poor people are bound to be
47、rich if rich people help them.（D）Employment is the best solution to the poverty problem.42 A. On my way home, I helped to catch a thief who had robbed an old man of his wallet.B.
