阅读理解.

     The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, painfree life 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 avoid 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
satisfying. lf 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 s1eep or 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 ever 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 money: buying that new car or those fancy
 clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems point1ess. 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 form -.
A. hatred
B. misunderstanding
C. prejudice
D. ignorance
4. To understand what true happiness in, one must______.
A. have as much fun as possible during one"s 1ifetime.
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
5. 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 pain that leads to happiness.

     Autumn means different things to different people.It all depends on your personality, said British
naturalist Richard Mabey."Personality shapes your view of the season, " he said."You may see it as a
fading away, a packing up (结束), or as a time of packing in another sense-the excited gathering of resources before a long journey."
     If this is true, perhaps it tells us a little about, for instance, Thomas Hood, the 19th century English poet.About November, he wrote:
     No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease
     No
shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees
     November!
     On the other hand, another English poet John Keats, already sensing he was seriously ill, was inspired
by a late September day to pen one of the most famous poems in the English language, To Autumn.He
wrote to a friend afterwards that there was something comforting and healing about it.
     According to Richard Mabey, Keats has the biological evidence on his side.Autumn is not a time of
slowing down, but a time of new beginnings and great movements of creatures.For example, just at the
moment that Keats"s "gathering swallows" (in To Autumn) are departing for Africa, millions of creatures
are fleeing from the frozen north like Iceland, Greenland and Russia to winter along the east and south
coasts of Britain.According to scientists, before falling, the leaves transfer their chlorophyll (叶绿素) and
carbohydrates into the woody parts of the tree for safekeeping over winter.What remains are the natural
antioxidants (防老剂) in the leaves:the yellow and orange carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), and another
protective chemical specially produced for autumn, the brightred anthocyanin (花青素). High color is not a signal of deterioration (退化) and decline, but of detox (排毒的) ability and good health.
     A century after Keats, the American poet Loren Eiseley wrote in his journal:"Suppose we saw
ourselves burning like maples in a golden autumn, and that we could disintegrate (分解) like autumn
leaves...dropping their substance like chlorophyll.Would_not_our_attitude towards_death be_different? "
1. From Thomas Hood"s poem, we may infer that________.
A. he suffered a lot from cold November
B. he missed the shining summer days very much
C. he had a negative attitude towards autumn
D. he enjoyed butterflies and bees very much
2. Which word can best describe John Keats"s attitude towards autumn?
A. Optimistic.  
B. Fearful.  
C. Doubtful.  
D. Realistic.
3. In autumn, leaves turn yellow before falling because________.
A. they can"t bear the freezing
B. they can"t get enough water from the woody part
C. chlorophyll and carbohydrates have been lost through leaves
D. chlorophyll and carbohydrates have come back to the woody part
4. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. Man can never live long, just as leaves must leave the tree annually.
B. Man is different from autumn leaves, which will come again the next spring.
C. Man should treat death calmly, just like autumn leaves fall to the ground.
D. Man should have a positive attitude towards death, quite different from autumn leaves.
