The students’ answers 43 from 20g to 500g.
“Actually,it does not matter on the absolute 44 . But it depends on how 45 you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for a(n) 46 , I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to 47  an ambulance. It is exactly the 48 weight, but the longer I hold it, the 49 it becomes.” Hearing these words,the whole audience became silent, lost in thought.
After a moment, the lecturer continued, “ 50 we carry our burden all the time, 51 , we will not be able to carry on with the burden becoming increasingly heavier,  52 heavy for us to bear.

While I was having dinner with a well-known author and lecturer, our conversation drifted to money. “I have enough money,” he told me casually. “I don’t need any more money.”
“Of course you can say that,” I thought to myself. “You get fifteen thousand dollars for a lecture.”
Then I caught my thought process, and pondered(仔细考虑)more deeply on his statement. Is he satisfied because he has a lot of money, or does he have a lot of money because he chooses to be satisfied?
I know people with more money than this man, and they still don’t have enough. And I know people with very little money, and they always have enough. So is enoughness something that happens to us when we reach a certain level, or is it an experience we can choose and celebrate at any time?
My friends Adrian and Carey live in a humble cottage in the rainforest. They have quite a modest income, no telephone, and they walk around naked most of the time. I think they are the happiest people I know. They wake up with the sun, love each other very much, and welcome guests with a full and open heart. They appreciate every moment of their lives, have no distraction games going, and are not waiting for the big break around the corner. When I am with them, the predominant(主要的)feeling I have is, “It’s all right here—why would anyone want anything more?”
Ram Dass used to say, “There are three kinds of people in the world: those who say, ‘Too much!’; those who say, ‘Not enough!’; and those who say, “Ah, just right!’”; Since “too much” of one thing implies “not enough” of another, there are really only two approaches to life: lack or contentment.
【小题1】From the first paragraph, we can infer that the lecturer ___________.

A.was living a happy lifeB.was careless about his money
C.was satisfied with his lifeD.was rich enough to live a happy life
【小题2】We learn from the underlined part that ____________.
A.it’s money that is of importanceB.it’s not money but the attitude that matters
C.we don’t have to have much moneyD.we won’t have enough money in life
【小题3】What does the author think of Adrian and Carey’s life?
A.They have no guests. B.They have all they want.
C.They live a very hard life.D.They live a very happy life.
【小题4】According to the last paragraph, people have two different attitudes towards life: ____________.
A.not enough or too muchB.lack or too much
C.lack or contentmentD.just right or enough
【小题5】Which of the following best suits the passage?
