阅读理解     To a large degree,the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in
the present moment . In spite of what happened yesterday or last year,and what may or may not happen
tomorrow,the present moment is where you are-always!
     Without question,many of us have mastered the sensitive art of spending much of our lives worrying
about a variety of things-all at once.We allow past problems and future concerns to control our present
moments,so much so that we end up anxious,discouraged,depressed,and hopeless.On the other hand,we
also put off our satisfaction,and put off what we should think of first,and our happiness,often convincing
ourselves that "someday" will be better than today.Unfortunately,the same mental power that tells us to
look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that "someday" never actually arrives.John Lennon
once said,"Life is what"s happening while we"re busy making other plans." When we are busy making other
plans, our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are
getting out of shape,and our dreams are slipping away.In short,we miss our life.
     Many people live as if life were dress rehearsal(彩排) for someday  in the future.It isn"t.In fact,no one
has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow.Now is the only time we have,and the only time that
we have any control over.When our attention is in the present moment,we push fear from our minds.Fear
is the concern over events that might happen in the future-we won"t have enough money,our children will
get into trouble,we will get old and die,whatever.
     To fight against fear,the best method is to learn to bring your attention back to the present.Mark Twain
said,"I have been through some terrible things in my life,some of which actually happened.I don"t think I
can say it any better.Practice keeping your attention on here and now.Your efforts will pay off sooner or
later."1．If a person is able to enjoy the present moment,then he __________.

A．is out of mind
B．is in peace of mind
C．has forgotten his past
D．will ignore his future

2．In the writer"s eyes,"fear" is the __________.A．concern over past problems
B．attention on the present
C．worry about what might happen in the future
D．anxiety about dress rehearsal3．By using what John Lennon said,the writer intends to __________.A．advise people to fix their attention on the present life
B．remind people to make good plans for their future
C．warn people that their children are growing up
D．remind people that their bodies are out of shape4．According to the writer,now is __________.A．the only time for us to get rid of what happened yesterday
B．the first time for us to look forward to our future
C．the only time we have and can control
D．the busy time we can make good preparations for the future

阅读理解     I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage.For two weeks I would try
to be a loving husband and father.Totally loving.No ifs,ands or buts.
     The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio.The speaker was quoting a Biblical
passage about husbands and their wives.Then he went on to say,"Love is an act of will.A person can
choose to love." To myself,I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband.Well,for two weeks that would change.
     And it did.Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said,"That new yellow sweater looks
great on you.""Oh,Tom,you noticed",she said,surprised and pleased.Maybe a little puzzled.After the long
drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I
thought "Evelyn"s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me. " We
walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
     So it went.Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director；a visit to the shell
museum though I usually hate museums.Relaxed and happy,that"s how the whole vacation passed.I made
a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.
     There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment,however.Evelyn and I still laugh about it
today.On the last night at our cottage,preparing for bed,Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
     "What"s the matter?" I asked her.
     "Tom," she said in a voice filled with distress,"I don"t?"
     "What do you mean?"
     "Well...that checkup I had several weeks ago...our doctor...did he tell you something about me?Tom,
you"ve been so good to me...am I dying?"
     It took a moment for it all to be understood.Then I burst out laughing.
     "No,honey," I said,wrapping her in my arms."You"re not dying；I"m just starting to live."1．In the first paragraph,"No ifs,ands or buts" probably means________.A．Unintentionally
B．Independently
C．Impressively
D．Unconditionally2．From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage________.A．with his family
B．with Evelyn
C．alone
D．with his children3．During the two weeks on the beach,Tom showed more love to his wife because________.A．he was determined to be a good husband
B．he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm
C．she looked lovely in her new clothes
D．the doctor said his wife was seriously ill4．The author says,"There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment." What does "one thing"
refer to?A．He praised her sweater,which puzzled her.
B．She insisted on visiting a museum,which he hated.
C．He knew something about her illness but didn"t tell her.
D．He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.5．By saying "I"m just starting to live," Tom means that________.A．he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life
B．he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband
C．he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change
D．he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before

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.
