18．Does money buy happiness？Not!Ah，but would a little more money make us a little happier？Many of us smirk（傻笑，假笑） and nod．There is，we believe，some connection between financial fitness and emotional fulfillment．Three in four American college students-nearly double the 1970 proportion-now consider it"very important"or"essential"that they become"very well off financially"．Money matters．
But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where nearly everyone can afford life's necessities，increasing wealth matters surprisingly little．The connection between income and happiness is"surprisingly weak，"observed University of Michigan researcher Ronald Inglehart in one 16-nation study of 170，000people．Once comfortable，more money provides diminishing returns（报酬递减）．The second piece of pie，or the second﹩100，000，never tastes as good as the first．Even lottery winners and the Forbes'100 wealthiest Americans surveyed by University of Illinois psychologist Ed Diener have expressed only slightly greater happiness than the average American．Making it big brings temporary joy．But in the long run wealth is like health：its complete absence can create suffering，but having it doesn't guarantee happiness．Happiness seems less a matter of getting what we want than of wanting what we have．
Has our happiness，however，floated upward with the rising economic tide？Are we happier today than in 1940s，when two out of five homes lacked a shower or tub？Actually，we are not．Since 1957，the number of Americans who say they are"very happy"has declined from 35 to 32 percent．Meanwhile，the divorce rate has doubled，the teen suicide（自杀） rate has increased nearly three times，the violent crime rate has gone up nearly four times，and depression has mushroomed．Economic growth has provided no boost to human morale．When it comes to psychological well being，it is not the economy．
I call this soaring wealth and shrinking spirit"the American paradox．"More than ever，we have big houses and broken homes，high incomes and low confidence，secured rights and reduced civility．We are good at making a living but often fail at making a life．We celebrate our prosperity（繁荣） but long for a purpose．We treasure our freedoms but long for connection．In an age of plenty，we feel spiritual hunger．

63．Which of the following statements best expresses the author's view？C
A．The more money we earn，the less returns we have．
B．The more money we earn，the happier we would be．
C．In the long run，money cannot guarantee happiness．
D．In the long run，happiness grows with economy．

C．profit brought by it is less than that from the first﹩100，000
D．happiness brought by it is less than that from the first﹩100，000

15．There are many talented writers waiting_________．（　　）

	A．	.to discover		B．	discovered
	C．	.to be discovered		D．	.being discovered

2．Don't invite crime-take basic，sensible precautions．Your house and possession are valuable and must be properly protected．When you buy a lock，you buy time．The best prevention is delay and noise which could mean discovery．
When you leave it-lock it!
First of all，fit security locks to all doors and windows and a safety chain on the front door．Secondly，use them!
If you have any ladders or tools，don't leave them lying about in the garden，lock them away．
"Safe"or"secret"places for keys and valuables are not reliable-nine times out of ten，they are the first place a thief will look．
When you move house…
When you move into a new home even if it is fitted with security locks，change them．You don't know who else may have keys．
Never let strangers into your house．An official-looking cap is not enough，ask for proof of identity and look at it carefully-if you are still not satisfied，don't let the person in．
Valuables need special protection
Valuables should really be given special protection-preferably by leaving them with your bank．A small security safe works too，but not to the most determined burglar．It is also important to keep an up-to-date list of valuables and their descriptions．In the case of fine art，paintings，or jewelry，color photographs can sometimes be of assistance to the police if you are unfortunate enough to have them stolen．Enter the details on the back of the pictures．But don't keep such documents in your house，keep them at the bank or with your insurance company．
Going on holiday？
Don't talk about your holidays and future plans loudly in public．Do remember to cancel the milk and newspapers and also to draw curtains back．
Operate a"Good Neighbor"program to ensure that mail is taken in，the house is checked regularly and that lights are put on．
Call at your local police station and tell them you are going away．Make sure that they know how to contact you in case of trouble．
Don't leave cash or valuables in the house-take them with you or put them in the bank．
55．When moving into a new house，you are supposed toB．
A．buy a safe
B．change the locks
C．visit your neighbors
D．stay away from strangers
56．Which is the safest way to protect your valuables？B

12．

Banjo
I am a music store owner．One day，when I was cleaning the instruments in my store，I saw an old man come in．His short steps dragged on the carpet．"Is 77too old to learn the banjo（班卓琴）？"he asked．"It's never too late to learn to play，"I replied，holding back my doubts．My mind told me I was giving false encouragement．I reached the instructor's schedule and gave the rates，the available（有效的） time and additional information that he would need．To my surprise and delight，the old man，Carl，began banjo lessons three days later with my most patient teacher．
With nothing to do at home but practice，Carl made surprising progress．After breakfast he practiced for his required half hour．While waiting for lunch he picked up his banjo again for just a couple of minutes．Since TV was difficult for him to see and hear，he often played the banjo in the evenings．Carl was always early for lessons so it was a surprise that he didn't arrive one Tuesday．
The next morning I listened to the answering machine with sadness．"Carl's in hospital，"the voice recorded．
Two months later，I shared the newspaper obituary with the banjo teacher．We both shed tears for a surprisingly clever banjo student．
Several months later，an old woman came into the store carrying a plant．"This is for Carl's banjo teacher，"she said．"I'm his wife，Mary．"
"Why did Carl want to play banjo？"I asked．Mary took a deep breath and let it out slowly．"Carl was at some show when he was 10years old．He came close to the stage to watch the performers．When they were picking up their instruments，the banjo player said to Carl，‘You want to see this up close？'Carl climbed up on the stage and from then on he wanted to play the banjo．"Carl had waited 67years to realize this dream!Mary gave the plant to me．"Thank you for the best six months of his life，"she said．

61．In Paragraph 2，the author's reaction to Carl's question showed that heD．

16．You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight．They hit one another hard．At the start they only fight with their fists．But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs．And so it goes on until one of the men crashes （撞击） through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below．He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead．With any luck he isn't even hurt．Why？Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains，who crash cars or even catch fire，are professionals．They do this for a living．These men are called stuntmen．That is to say，they perform tricks．There are two sides to their work．They actually do most of the things you see on the screen．For example，they fall from a high building．However，they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress （床垫）．Again，when they hit one another with chairs，the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows，the glass is made of sugar!But although their work depends on trick of this sort，it also requires a high degree of skill and training．Often a stuntman's success depends on careful timing．For example，when he is"blown up"in a battle scene，he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment．
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work，but they lead dangerous lives．They often get seriously injured，and sometimes killed．A Norwegian stuntman，for example，skied over the edge of a cliff （悬崖） a thousand feet high．His parachute failed to open，and he was killed．In spite of all the risks，this is no longer a profession for men only．Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action，for nowadays there are stuntgirls，too．
68．Stuntmen are those whoC

17．My husband hates going to the gym in January． Not because he doesn't want to take exercise after the Christmas break，but because of the amount of new people there．Without fail，every January brings eager new gym members filled with excitement over their New Year's resolution（决定）：Join a gym．
His frustration（沮丧）is short-lived though；within a matter of weeks only a few new comers are still there．In fact，research suggests that only about 8%of them remain．That's the amount of the 40%of people who set resolutions who actually keep them．
Why is it so hard to keep new year resolutions？I believe it is because we make them difficult to keep．They're too specific．Look at the resolution：join a gym．What's the problem with it？Maybe your schedule makes it difficult to get to the gym regularly or you don't like the atmosphere．It's all too easy to fail at goal-setting when you focus on a specific goal．
So what do you do instead？This year，I want you to focus on feelings and experiences instead of goals．Why do you sign up for a gym membership？Because you want to feel healthy，get fit and feel energized．There are lots of ways besides the gym to get these results：eating better，walking more，taking a dance class．If you don't like one thing，move onto the next．You need not feel like you failed because you are still looking for the feeling．
By focusing on feelings you stay open to opportunities around you．Instead of blindly following only one way that may or may not work，you can explore a variety of options．This year，instead of a list of resolutions，make a list of things you want to feel and experience．You can't fail
