5.Pressure and PleasureThe town of Pressure and the town of Pleasure were neighbors but had nothing in common.(71)C
In Pressure,everyone struggled to be the very best.When women gave birth,they would compete to have the baby with the loudest cry.(72)B Because wealth was the index(指数)of success,people were always busy making money,with no time for relaxation.Some young people couldn't bear the intensity(紧张) and resorted to drink or drugs to escape.
(73)E People grew up without pressure and could do anything they liked.Children played computer games day and night.At school,teachers didn't care whether students showed up or not.Workers might sit around the office all day long sipping coffee and doing nothing.Thanks to the lack of regulation,nobody worried about losing their jobs.(74)A No one had the slightest thought of moving forward,either for themselves or for the town.The computers they used were old models from Pressure.
Some of the young in both were addicted to drugs because of the emptiness of their lives.Then,people in the two towns began asking themselves,"What is life for?"But,just before life in the two towns completely failed,there came a saint-Mr.Reason.He went from door to door,talking with people and giving advice.People in Pressure learnt to be content with what they had,while people in Pleasure began to make plans.(75)G The townspeople came to realize the truth-there is no space between Pressure and Pleasure if don't go to extremes.
A.It was pleasure that mattered.
B.There was violent competition in every aspect of life.
C.Citizens built walls to keep out influence from the other town.
D.Success was not significantly affected by the size of the pressure sore.
E.Meanwhile,in Pleasure,the motto was"as long as you like it,do it."
F.Although they got as much pleasure as possible,they didn't have a better life.
G.They pulled down the walls between them and built a road to connect the two.
