15．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 joy 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 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．

9．Opera is an art form that celebrates the human voice．No other art form creates excitement and moves the heart in the way that opera does，especially when performed by a great singer．Opera is an important part of the Western classical music tradition．It uses music，words，and actions to bring a dramatic story to life．Opera started in Italy at the end of the 16th century and later became popular throughout Europe．Over the years，it has responded to various musicals，In recent decades，much wider audiences have been introduced to opera through modern recording technology．Some singers have become celebrities thanks to performing on radio，on TV，and in the cinema．
However，in recent years，opera has been facing serious challenges．One current challenge to opera is economic．The shortage of money raises the broader question of how much should be paid to support opera singers and other artists．Society seems to accept the large salaries paid to business managers and the multi-million-dollar contracts given to sports athletes．But what about opera singers？Somehow，people have the idea that artists can be creative only if they suffer in poverty，but this is unrealistic．If artists，including opera singers，lack the support they need，valuable talent is wasted．
Not only the shortage of money，but also the way money is managed in the opera world has led to hardships．Principal singers are generally paid performance fees once they complete a show．They typically receive nothing during the many weeks of rehearsal （排练） before a show starts．
Another problem faced by opera is how to meet the demands of audiences who are influenced by popular entertainment．Pop singers are often judged as much on the basis of how they look as how they sound．These demands may be unrealistic and possibly harmful．Opera singers simply cannot make a sound big enough to fill a large theater or concert hall without a microphone if their body weight is too low．Emphasizing physical appearance over singing ability may cause audiences to miss out on the human voice at its best．
There are no easy solutions to opera's problems and there are many different opinions about the value of opera．However，every year many young people register for music courses with hopes and dreams of developing their talents in this special art form．The fact that opera has survived many obstacles and continues to attract the rising generation shows that it remains a respected art form full of value．

32．Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．Opera singers'life stories are dramatic．
B．Opera will soon appear on TV and in films
C．Opera fans thank celebrities for performing
D．Opera develops by adapting to new conditions．

A．Opera singers are financially insecure．
B．Opera singers waste their valuable talent．
C．Opera singers get paid before the show．
D．Opera singers perform better if they are poor．

A．Popular culture has had a positive influence on opera
B．Audiences know best how opera should be performed
C．Microphones should be used to make opera more enjoyable
D．Opera singers'voices should be valued more than their looks．
35．What would be the best title for this passage？B
A．The Economic Challenge to Opera
B．Opera Faced with the Difficulties
C．Opera as Part of Popular Culture
D．The Historical Context of Opera．
