阅读理解。     The karaoke machine is the most annoying invention in Britain,a survey (民意调查) for the
government found.It found that the Japanese invention topped a list of inventions that people
wished had never been invented.
     2,584 adults were surveyed in England online.Among them,22 percent chose the karaoke
machine.17 percent said 24－hour sports channels,12 percent chose video games,while 11
percent said mobile phones and seven percent said alarm clocks."Seeing the karaoke machine
at the top of that list made me smile," said Kane Kramer,a director at the British Inventors
Society.
      "When people are singing karaoke,they are enjoying themselves,but as a member of the
audience you are just watching somebody who can"t perform for as long as you can bear it.
It is antisocial (令人讨厌的)．You might have 10 people who want to sing some karaoke,
which means 150 people have to suffer it.But the crazy thing is that people still do go just to
be a listener at other people"s inability to sing.After a short while-unless they"re very drunk
they"re going to find that listening to performers failing to perform for two hours is not the best
way to spend the evening."
      Karaoke has turned into a very large industry since being invented in 1971 by Daisuke
Inoue,a worker in a club in Japan who was looking to provide music for a customer who
wanted to sing on a company trip.
Asked what people would like to see invented in the future,18 percent said a robot cleaner
and 16 percent said a time machine.Asked what the most important safety inventions were,
69 percent said the smoke alarm,64 percent said seat belts and 29 percent said baby seats.1．What do we learn from the survey?A．Half the people surveyed wished karaoke machines hadn"t been invented.

     Ask a bachelor(单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to 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 (显著的) features.
     Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night"s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don"t 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 and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates (释放) 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 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.

1. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ________ .

A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities
B. he believes 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

2. Raising children, in the author"s opinion is ________ .

A. a moral duty
B. a thankless job
C. a rewarding task
D. a source of inevitable pain

3. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from (起源于) ________ .

A. hatred
B. misunderstanding
C. prejudice
D. ignorance

4. To understand what true happiness is one must ________ .

A. have as much fun as possible during one"s lifetime
B. make every effort to liberate oneself from pain
C. put up with pain under all circumstances
D. be able to distinguish happiness from fun

     "Have you ever heard the old saying, "Never judge a book by its cover"? This is a good rule to follow when you try to judge the cleverness of others by their looks and performance. Some people have minds
that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in novel writing may find himself
speechless before a pretty girl. But don"t make the mistake of thinking he might not be that clever. With a
pen and paper, he can tell what he thought very well.
     Other people may fool you into mistakenly thinking they are clever by putting up a good front.
A student who listens carefully and takes notes in class is sure to make a good impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may get scores much lower than his classmates.
     We may conclude that: you can"t judge someone by appearances. The only way to tell whether a
person is clever or not is to get to know him by observing(观察) how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don"t
judge the book by its cover.

A. Judging cleverness
B. Choosing a book
C. A speechless young man
D. Putting up a good front

A. don"t judge a book by its cover
B. don"t judge a person"s cleverness by appearance

A. is stupid
