题目内容
20.Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money.Strange as it may seem,if you're unsatisfied,the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires-not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities(能力)to enjoy life.Most people are already swamped(淹没)with things.They eat,wear,go and talk too much.They live in too big a house with too many rooms,yet their house of life is a hut.
Your house of life ought to be a mansion(豪宅),a royal palace.Every new taste,every additional interest,every fresh enthusiasm adds a room.Here are several rooms your house of life should have.
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things.If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them,they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.
Literature,classic literature,is a beautiful,richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment.To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person,for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.
Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent.Real riches are of the spirit.And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk,you have increased your thrills and bettered them.And life is a matter of thrills.
Sports,without which you remain poor,mean a lot in life.No matter who you are,you would be more human,and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days,if you could,and did,play a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life,he secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.

59.D 推理判断题.根据文章4,5,6,7段第一句"Art should be a desire for you…"和"Literature,classic literature,is a beautiful,richly furnished room…"和"Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent."和"Sports,without which you remain poor,mean a lot in life."真正幸福的人需要懂或者拥有:艺术,文学,音乐和运动等,而这些主要是与我们精神上的丰富有关系的.也就是说真正的幸福是精神上的富有.再联系全文最后一句话Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life,the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.可知,真正的快乐来自于精神的富有.故答案选D.
60.B 推理判断题.根据第二自然段的前两句话"Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力) to enjoy life.Most people are already swamped(淹没) with things.They eat,wear,go and talk too much."可知,划线句子的意思是他们物质上富足,精神上却很贫穷,故答案选B.
61.C 细节理解题.根据第五自然段"Literature,classic literature,is a beautiful,richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment.To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person,for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library."可知文学可以丰富你的精神生活,故答案选C.
62.A 标题判断题.文章多次提到了房子,且这篇文章论证了精神富有与真正快乐之间的关系.作者在文章里告诉我们,要想得到内心的幸福,需要了解艺术,文学,音乐等等不同的内容来丰富我们的内心世界.A项中House of Life涵盖了这些内容.故答案选A.
