As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably(不可避免的) brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (义务), self - improvement.
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 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 time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates （解放）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.
小题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 |
| A．hatred | B．misunderstanding | C．prejudice | D．ignorance |
| 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 pain that leads to happiness. |
答案
小题1:A
小题2:D
小题3:A
解析
试题解析：本文是一篇议论文，阐述了幸福的获得这一严肃话题，试图澄清人们在幸福问题上的一些误解。
小题1:细节理解题。本题要求学生判断单身汉拒绝结婚的主要原因。依据文章第3段第1行“Ask a bachelor 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”（……害怕作出对义务的承诺，即不愿承担义务）。A项与之等同，故正确。
小题2:细节理解题。依据文章最后一句“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.” 它把我们从嫉妒中解放出来：我们现在知道那些总是有那么多乐趣的人也许根本就不幸福，可知很多人嫉妒是因为无知，故选项D正确。
小题3:细节判断题。作者的意图出现在第1段最后一句：“But in fact，the opposite is true：more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain”（……事实上，导致你幸福的事情多半伴随着痛苦），故选项A符合题意

举一反三
She had this circular way of you took responsibility for your decisions and the person you would . She would say,“ It" s your .” “What you want and what you get are sometimes two different things.” And then, “No one ever said life was fair.” And she would these comments together in such a way that you could never an argument, and yet, the was that you realized your life is going to be what you make it.
So I might go to my mom and say, “I’d like to football”. And she would say, “Well, it"s your life. If you want to go out there and get and hurt and break your knees and limp around the rest of your life, that" s fine.” That is I would say, “Well, you know, that won’t . I" m really fast.” And she would reply, “Well, we don’t really have the money.” And then I would , “Yes but that" s not fair.” And she would reply, “ Well, life isn’t .” Then I would say, “But I’ve been itching to." And she would reply, “Yes, but what you want and what you get are usually two entirely different things.”
It was the combination of these that allowed my mother to lead me down the right path under her but let me feel as if I was making the decisions my own. The sum total of that was, in the end, you’re for the life you lead. That" s the best advice I’ve ever gotten.

One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. "I"m awfully sorry," I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn"t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.
小题1:The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_________
| A．she might be recognized |
| B．asking for help looked silly |
| C．she was normal and independent |
| D．being found blind was embarrassing |
| A．began to run |
| B．hit a person as usual |
| C．hit a lamppost by accident |
| D．was caught by something |
| A．stopped a big lorry |
| B．stopped the wrong bus |
| C．made no attempt to stop the bus |
| D．was not noticed by other people |
| A．Other vehicles also stopped there. |
| B．It was unreliable for making judgments. |
| C．More lorries than buses responded to the girl. |
| D．It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus |
There we felt that we would find a bed the night. Darkness fell soon after we left the village, but luckily we met as we drove fast along the narrow winding road that the hills. As we climbed , it became colder and rain began to fall, it difficult at times to see the road. I asked John, my companion, to drive more .
After we had traveled for about twenty miles, there was still no sign of the town which was on the map. We were beginning to get . Then without warning the car stopped. A quick showed that we had run out of petrol. Although we had little food with us, we decided to the night in the car.
Our meal was soon over. I tried to go to sleep at once, John, who was a sleeper, got out of the car after a few minutes and went for a walk the hills. Soon he came back.

Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position. The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your ; your words are lost in the howling wind.
On a afternoon, everything changed.
Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold, their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.
This woman was .
“I’ll get the next car’s as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside, much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright lit up her face like a fire.
“You can’t their drinks,” I said, confused and tired.
“No, but I’ll buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”
Completely puzzled, I charged her as , and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened. I watched as his changed — first angry to be out in the cold, then at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his .
“I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient driver him. He over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.
The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave and pleased. Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected, others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鸣笛) and their thanks.
It only takes one customer, one person, to change the entire of traffic. It only takes one moment, one smile, to warm up even the coldest of days.

He was in his seat like a stone, and the young people began to about him, trying to his life and his age. Deep into the night, outside Washington, one of the girls went up to him and introduced herself. “Want some wine?” He took the glass and drank.
Slowly and he told his story. His name was Vingo, he had been in in New York for the past four years, and now he was going home. “When I was in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said. “I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldn"t it, if the kids kept asking questions, if it too much, she could just forget me, I"d understand.”
“Last week, knowing I would be , I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick and there"s a big oak tree just as you come into town. I told her that if she would me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I"d and come home with her. If she didn"t me, forget it, no handkerchief, and I"d go on through.”
“Wow,” the girl exclaimed. She told the others, and soon all of them put their faces against the window, waiting for the of Brunswick.
Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming , all except Vingo. Vingo sat there , looking at the oak tree. It was almost with yellow handkerchiefs, 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like a huge flag of , blowing in the wind. As the young people shouted, the old man rose and his way to the front of the bus to go home.
