题目内容

6．It's nearly four years since I worked in that firm．I ________ a band with other fellows．（　　）
A．operatedB．had been operating
C．was operatingD．am operating

分析 我不在那个公司工作已经快5年了．
我现在在和其他几个小伙子经营一个乐队．

解答 答案：D．根据整个句子前半部分谈的是在过去在公司，后半部分谈的是现在在和其他几个小伙子经营乐队，可知"经营乐队"是现阶段他们一直在发生的动作，故满足现在进行时的用法．答案就选D．

点评 本题考查动词现在进行时态的另一用法：表示现阶段反复发生的动作，题干后半句是I ________ a band with other fellows．表达"我经常在和其他几个小伙子经营乐队"之意，符合现在进行时态的这一用法．这类题同学们要做好，关键要一：理解、掌握它的基本用法；二：它常与哪些时间状语连用；三：学会判断句中谓语动词发生在哪个时间（现在、过去、将来）．只有这样，选择时才不会出错．

11．Happiness is a journey
We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married，have a baby，than another．Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are．After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with．We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage．
We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse （配偶） gets his or her act together．When we get a nice car，and are able to go on a nice vacation when we retire．The truth is，there's no better time than right now．If not now，when？Our life will always be filled with challenges．It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway．
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza．He said，"for a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin a real life．But there was always some obstacle in the way，something to be gotten through first，some unfinished business，time still to be served，a debt to be paid．Then life would begin．At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life．"
This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness．Happiness is the way．So treasure every moment that you have．
And remember that time waits for no one．So stop waiting until you finish school，until you go back to school； until you get married，until you get divorced； until you have kids； until you retire； until you get a new car or home； until spring； until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy…
Happiness is a journey，not a destination．So，work like you don't need money，love like you've never been hurt，and dance like no one's watching．

32．In the third paragraph，the author uses Alfred Souza's quote in order toA．
A．support his viewpoint             
B．introduce one more topic

D．compare their different views on happiness
33．The underlined word"this"in the second paragraph probably refers to"D"．
A．Life will be better after we get married，have a baby and another．
B．Our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together．
C．When we retire，we are able to go on a nice holiday
D．Our life is always filled with challenges．
34．The best title of the text might beC．
A．Owning the present is owning the future
B．Pursuing Happiness is Nature of Us Humans
C．Happiness is a journey，not a destination．
D．How to Possess Real Happiness

A．Only when we get whatever we want can we feel our life is complete．
B．Whatever happens in our life，we should live at present．
C．We shouldn't enjoy happiness at present but in the future．
D．We cannot enjoy happiness now because we are facing many challenges．
3．When asked what they want out of life，most people anywhere in the world will probably answer："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．
     A number of people would say that there is no need to answer this question  But Professor Deiner  as 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（免疫的） systems，and there is some evidence that they live longer．
     So who are the happiest people in the world？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 go after individual happiness while Asia prefers each other's 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．
  Another factor that also made a big difference to people's happiness is income，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．

47． According to Professor Deiner，B．
A．Westerners value individual happiness as much as mutual satisfaction
B． Asians focus more on others  respect and approval than westerners
C． Westerners care more about mutual satisfaction than Asians
D． Asians have a culture to enjoy individual happiness

C．Spanish people take too much p/de in themselves．
