B

Introductory Chemistry was taught at Duke University for many years by Professor Bonk. One year, two guys took the class and did pretty well on all the quizzes and midterms. They each had a solid A. These two friends were so confident in going into the final that the weekend before the final, despite the chemistry final being on Monday, they decided to go to the University of Vir?ginia to party with some friends.

They had a great time there. However, with their hangovers(宿醉)and tiredness, they overslept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they found Professor Bonk after the final and explained to him how they missed the final. They told him they went up to the University of Virginia for the weekend and had planned to come back in time to study, but they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare. So they were late getting back to campus.

Professor Bonk thought this over and agreed that they could take the final the following day. The two guys, happy and relieved> studied that night and went into the classroom the next day at the time that Professor Bonk had told them. He placed them !n separate rooms and handed each of them a test book?let. He told them to begin.

They looked at the first problem which was something simple about solu?tion (溶 液). It was worth 5 points. Cool,"they thought, "this is going to be an easy final". They then turned the page. They were unprepared, however, for what they saw on it. The question contained only two words : Which tire? (95 points)

Perhaps you think you could easily add to your hap?piness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue (问题)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 ca?pacities (育 g 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(茅屋).

Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅),a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm (热情)adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.

Art should be a desire for you to develop simply be?cause 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 to?wards 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 ab?sent. 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 hu?man* 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, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.

Britain's high streets are dying slowly

Twenty years ago, the prosperous high street(繁华商业街)was the heart of most cities. It was crowded with customers. 9 Nowadays, high streets are declining, with very few shops and shoppers. With about 14 shops down every day,Britain's high streets are dy?ing little by little.

10 It's fairly easy to understand. To start with, people are spending less because of the economic recession(衰退).On top of that, more and more people are using the Internet to do their shopping. And it is not easy for shopkeepers in the high streets, either. 11 Finally, there are the oul-of-town retail parks with free car parking that sell just about everything at very low prices.

What can be done? Prime Minister David Cameron has hired Mary Portas, a British business woman and star of TV show Mary Queen of Shops , to bring some life back into Britain's high streets. She's talked about creating "magnets(磁石),,to attract people back to the centre. 12 In one town, a bicycle rickshaw(人力车)service is delivering people's shopping to their homes. 13 where children can be cared for while their parents are shopping.

Members of the public have also voiced their opin?ions. "My ideal shopping centre is one where there's a wide selection of attractive looking shops, with cheap parking and good public transport links," said a 28-year-old man. "I'd like to see Night Shopping evenings where shops are open through to 10 pm or later," said a 22-year-old girl.

A.    They have to pay increasing high rents.

B.    But he is not the only one to .solve the problem.

C.    But that's all changed.

D.    In another town, they set up night shopping cen?tres,

E.    In another town, they set up a nursery,

F.    They can make a fortune overnight.

G.    Why are high streets in such a desperate situation?
