The most important thing is to carry a camera around with you at all times．Use manual（手动的） settings as much as possible．Now that everything is digital I'd also say，"Shoot as much as possible，"because it doesn't cost anything．

17．（36）GWe achieve it actively by direct experience，by testing and proving an idea，or by reasoning．
We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else．Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive．Conditioned as we are to passive learning，it's not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers．（37）C It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor．
Did you ever play the game Rumor？It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn't show it to anyone．Then the person whispers it，word for word，to another person．That person，in turn，whispers it to still another，and so on，through all the people playing the game．The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it．Then the two written statements are compared．（38）A
（39）E The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story．Then，too，most people listen imperfectly．And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story，trying to improve on it，stamping it with their own personal style．Yet those who hear it think they know．
（40）F A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as a fact by another，who may in turn be quoted by yet another； and this process may continue，unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts．

A．Typically，the original message has changed．
B．Finally everybody gets the meaning．
C．Unfortunately，passive learning has a serious problem．
D．Knowledge is passed down from generation to generation．
E．That's what happens in daily life．
F．This process is also found among scholars and authors．
G．We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively．

4．In the United States Government，the Congress （国会） make the laws．The Congress has two parts，which are more or less equal in power．They are known as the House of Representatives（众议院）  and Senate （参议院）．The House of Representatives is larger than the Senate whose 100member （two from each state） serve for six years．The 435members of the House are elected every two years，and the member from each state is determined by the population of the state．For example，California，which has a large population，has forty-three representatives．The state of Nevada （内华达） had only one．
The House and the Senate are divided into small groups which take care of special matters such as education or foreign affairs．The most important task of the Congress is often done in these groups，which are called committees．
According to the constitution of the United States，a senator must be at least thirty years old and he must have been a citizen of the United States for nine years at the time of his election．To be elected to the House a person must be twenty-five years old and must have been a citizen of the United States for seven years．At the present time，members of the Congress include businessmen，farmers，teachers，and especially lawyers．In general，Senators are better known than Representatives because they are fewer in number and serve for a long time．Many American Presidents served in the Congress before they became presidents of the United States．President John Kennedy，Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon were all representatives and then Senators becoming presidents．

1．Ask most people anywhere in the world what they want out of life and the reply will probably be："to be happy．"Ed Deiner，an American psychology professor，has spent his whole professional life studying what makes people happy，comparing levels of happiness between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy ourselves．
Many people would say that this question does not need an answer．But Professor Deiner has one anyway．"If you're a cheerful，happy person，your marriage is more likely to last，and you're more likely to make money and be successful at your job．On average，happy people have stronger immune systems，and there is some evidence that they live longer．"
So who are the world's happiest people？It depends on how the word is defined．There is individual happiness，the sense of joy we get when we do something we like．But there is also the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of how we behave．According to Professor Deiner，the Western world pursues individual happiness while Asia prefers mutual （相互的，彼此） satisfaction．
"In the West，the individualistic culture means that your mood matters much more than it does in the East．People ask themselves if they are doing what is fun or interesting．They become unhappy when they can't do any of these things．If you ask people from Japan or China if they are happy，they tend to look at what has gone wrong in their lives．If not much has gone wrong，then they are satisfied．"
People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries had the happiest culture，Professor Deiner found．"The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame．Hispanic （西班牙语言的） cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others．"
Income also made a big difference to people's happiness，but only at the lowest levels．Average income earners in the US were much happier than people in poverty．But millionaires were only a little bit happier than people on average incomes．It seems that money makes us happy when we have enough to feel secure．
30．According to the passage，happy people enjoy the following benefits exceptD．
A．a long marriage
B．better health
C．profession success
D．respect from others
31．What can be inferred from the fifth paragraph？C
A．Hispanic cultures lay stress on pride and shame．
B．Spanish people take too much pride in themselves．
C．Attitude towards pride and shame results in Spanish happiness．
D．If you are from Spain，you are the happiest．
32．In the last paragraph，the author seems to tell usC．
A．Poor people enjoy the same happiness as millionaires
B．the higher income one gets，the happier life he lives
C．Enough money can make us feel safe and happy
D．Average income earners live the happiest life
33．The passage mainly discussesB．
A．cultural differences in happiness
B．reasons for happiness
C．the happiest culture
D．benefits of happiness．
