15.Ask a bachelor(单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying.If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment.For commitment is in fact quite painful.The single life is filled with fun,adventure,excitement.Marriage has such moments,but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or a three-day vacation.I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.But couples who decide not to have children never know the joy of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations.It liberates time:now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness.It liberates money:buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless.And it liberates us from envy:we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

9.According to the author,a bachelor resists marriage chiefly becauseA.
A.he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities
B.he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single

D.he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement
10.Raising children,in the author's opinion isC.
A.a moral duty   B.a thankless job   C.a rewarding task   D.a source of inevitable pain
11.From the last paragraph,we learn that envy sometimes stems from (起源于)B.
A.hatred            B.misunderstanding   C.prejudice           D.ignorance
12.To understand what true happiness is one mustD.

17.It's 8:30,time for John to start work.So he turns on his radio.Then he eats breakfast.As he eats,he reads his e-mail and reviews his to-do list.Then he sits on the sofa and thinks about an article he needs to write…Wait a minute!Radio?Breakfast?Sofa?What kind of workplace is this?Well,actually it is John's house,and he is a telecommuter(远距离工作者)--------he works at home,communicating with the workplace through the Internet.
Like John,millions of people-and their employers-are finding that telecommuting is a great way to work.Telecommuters can follow their own timetables.They work in the comfort of homes,where they can also look after young children or elderly parents.They save time and money by not traveling to work.Their employers save,too,because they need less office space and furniture.Studies show that telecommuters change jobs less often.This saves employers even more money.Telecommuting helps society,too,by reducing pollution and traffic problems.
Jobs that are fit for telecommuting include writing,design work,computer programming and accounting.If a job is related to working with information,a telecommuter can probably do it.
25.From the passage we can learn that John does his jobB.
A.by telephone         
B.through the Internet
C.in his office         
D.away from home
26.One of the advantages of telecommuting is that you canD.
A.work for several employers          
B.enjoy a lot of traveling
C.get along well with other workers    
D.work on your own timetable
27.Telecommuters change jobs less often,soA
A.their employers can save money    
B.their employers will give them a higher pay
C.they can get more work experience   
D.they will have a longer paid holiday.
4.We all know the feeling:looking at the computer screen,pretending to be interested in our homework,even though we really feel bored.But such feelings may soon be at an end,says Dr.Harry Witchel,head of the Essex Medical School.He believes that computers of the future will notice when people feel bored and even take action to stop it.
Before you get concerned,the machine won't be reading your mind.It will be observing the many movements you make while using a computer.It's not interested in the big movements needed to use the machine 一 like moving a mouse or touching a screen-but small,barely noticeable movements like closing your eyes,moving in your seat or rubbing your face.Witchel calls these"boredom movements"and says they show how interested the person is in what they are reading or watching.The higher the interest level,the less movement!
To test his theory,Witchel invited 27 people to perform various computer-based tasks.The activities ranged from playing online games (an interesting task) to reading documents like government laws that most people would find boring.
A special video camera followed the participants'movements as they completed each task.Just as the researcher expected,the"boredom movements"greatly decreased,by as much as 42%,when the subjects were very interested in what they were reading or seeing.
Fortunately,Dr Witchel isn't planning to use his results to create machines that report students who are not paying attention at school.Instead,he wants"movement sensing"technology to be built into future computers in order to improve students'computer-based learning experience.
The scientist says that by measuring the students'interest level as they work,educators will be able to adjust their materials in real-time to keep students focused.Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions and in the future,help to develop more intelligent robots.

32.What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 1 refer to?C
A.Homework.B.A computer.C.Boredom.D.The future.
33.Why did Dr Witchel carry out his research?D
A.To discover how bored people move.
B.To find out what makes people bored.
C.To see if interested people are more active.
D.To test the link between boredom and movement.
34.Which movement would Witchel's technology most likely pay attention to?D
A.Turning off the machine.
B.Typing words on a keyboard.
C.Surfing quickly between webpages.
D.Moving one's head from side to side.
35.How will the new technology help education,according to Witchel?B
A.By reducing teachers'workload.
B.By maintaining students'learning interest.
C.By reporting students'misbehavior in class.
D.By making learning more like a computer game.
2.My daughter Kelly is a cautious person.She needs to warm up to situations,and is hesitant to try new things.When with close friends,she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants,"Girls rule,boys drool."But when that comfort zone is not around her,she is shy and nervous.
This has been challenging for me at times."Shy"is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me.But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence.This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team.This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels.And this year she completed her first kids'triathlon (三项全能).
On Saturday,with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son's birthday party later in the day,we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon.We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her,we got all the equipment she′d need,and we kept talking about the race.But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn,she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times.She was nervous but trying to keep it together.
And then it was her turn.From the second she jumped into the water,my heart soared.My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen.She dominated that swim,crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.
I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life.It wasn′t because she did a sport or anything like that.It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn′t seen before.
All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling.She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day.I won the chance to see my girl shine.
Shine on,sweet baby.
