Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community if material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, or else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased(停止).When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.

What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind:“In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.

To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.

【1】Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?

A. Wealth results from honest effort.

B.The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.

C.For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than Scotch and soda.

D.The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.

A. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face

B.No pains, no gains

C.Failure is the mother of success

D.Bread comes from the sweat on your face

【3】We learn from the passage that the author ________.

A.was a wealthy person in the community

B.held a positive attitude towards an active life

C.was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)

D.kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed

【4】What is implied in the passage by the writer?

A.To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.

【题目】Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself? Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What cant you be bothered to do?

A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of the adults are so idle (懒散的)that they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.

Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health center. The results were extremely surprising.

About one in six people questioned said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.

More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.

This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school.

Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said, People need to get fitter, not just for their own reason, but for the reason for their families, friends and evidently (明显地;显然)their pets too.”

"If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most fundamental tasks."

And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most idle city in the UK, with 75% questioned admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.

The results bring serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

1How many people questioned don’t play with their children?

A. 1280. B. More than 333.

C. 654. D. About 420.

2The study leads us to believe that .

A. the pets in the UK will be in trouble if their owners keep their way of life

B. Glasgow people feel ashamed because they don't get enough exercise

C. British people are the laziest around the world

D. five sixths of the British children are healthy

3How does the author convince the readers?

A. By presenting the results of a study.

B. By providing answers to questions.

C. By interviewing some experts.

D. By telling a story.

the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life-no computers or

phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say
