分析 本文主要讲述了由the LitWorld.org website发起的World Read Aloud Day,其目的是鼓励全世界的人们读书.
解答 61.was started 考查动词时态和语态.It与之间是动宾关系start,要用被动语态,且动作已发生,要用一般过去时的被动语态.
62.The/Its 考查冠词或代词.根据上文可知,这个目的指的是World Read Aloud Day的目的,用定冠词the表示特指,也可用形容词性物主代词its表示"它的".
63.to celebrate 考查动词不定式.ask sb.to do sth.意为"要求某人做某事".
64.belongs 考查主谓一致.主语the right是单数形式,谓语动词也应是单数形式belongs.
65.the 考查冠词.the number of意为"…的数目",是固定搭配.
66.absolutely 考查副词.修饰形容词necessary要用副词,形容词absolute的副词是absolutely.
67.whoever 考查连词.介词to之后为宾语从句,宾语从句缺少主语且表示人,故考虑who和whoever.再根据句意:该是时间大声对着任何一个有可能喜欢这本书的人朗读了.选择whoever.
68.to 考查固定搭配.listen to意为"倾听",是固定搭配.
69.and 考查连词.前后两个分句之间是并列关系,用连词and.
70.difference 考查名词.make a difference意为"有影响、有区别、有意义",是固定搭配.

However an economist found that older people will never regain regain the excitement of youth.Rather it is though that with age,individuals become more pragmatic about the ups ang downs that life brings and accept their fortune.
He questioned those in Britain,Switzerland and Germanry and applied the findings to people's life cycle.
Mr.Van Landeghem,29,said:"A happiness curve does not necessarily imply that a 65-year-old prefers his own life to the life of a 25-year-old.
"Both the 25-year-old and 65-year-old might agree that it is nicer to be 25 than to be 65.But the 65-year-old might nevertheless be more satisfied,as he has learned to satisfied with what he has."
It was suggested the mid-life happiness dip is because this is when people have the most responsibilities--taking care of a family,paying a mortgage (抵押贷款)and having a demanding career. The middle-aged dip in happiness was also compared to that of losing a close relative or suddenly becoming unemployed.
The study is just one of many put forward as an indicator of what makes for a happy life.
Psychologists concluded that having money makes you happier,but only if you have a lot more than your friends and neighbors.At the same time,you'd better have enough time to enjoy yourself instead of spending all your time on making money.
Separate research found that owning the house of your dreams,the car you always longed for and having millions in the bank doesn't stop that desire to keep up with the Joneses(攀比). And if the Joneses have more than you do,you'll be miserable.It seems envy at being lower in the social pecking order (权势等级)reduces the satisfaction of being well off.
If you just do what you love and you are good at,which society also values much,you may have a higher probability to be happy.But if your job pays less,how can you stick to it in disregard of responsibilities?Happiness means different things from different points of views,and point of view grows from one's experience and knowledge.Perhaps it comes with you when you don't need to think about adult problems or when you are wise enough to understand what satisfaction is.
