The Best and the Worst
Under the extreme conditions of a disaster, human beings display the best and worst they are capable of. In the midst of chaos “women and children first” is the traditional way of doing things.
71 . Sixty years before that, the passengers of another ship had shown even greater discipline and nobility in terrible circumstances.
The ship was the Birkenhead, a steam-powered troopship transporting British troops to South Africa. On 26 February, 1852, the ship hit an uncharted rock while rounding the Cape of Good Hope. 72 . The remainders were soldiers and officers of the 74th Highlanders, led by Major Alexander Sexton. In addition, the ship was laden with horses.
The initial collision had already caused dozens of the troops to be drowned as they slept below decks. 73 . The ship was sinking rapidly and leaning, but they continued to stand until all the women and horses were driven over-board to give them a chance. Only then, at the order from Major Sexton, did they break ranks and try to save their own lives. But the ship broke up, and four hundred and eighty-eight of the soldiers died.
In complete opposition to this bravery, was the occasion when nearly all the casualties(人员伤亡) were women and children. This happened on 1 April, 1873. The White Star liner Atlantic, under the command of the incompetent Captain Williams, was wrecked on rocks off the coast of Nova Scotia. 74 . In the panic, the male passengers deserted their families and tried to escape ashore. 75 . There were five hundred and sixty deaths. Of the four hundred survivors, not one was a woman.

We eat for many different reasons but not always for the right reason. Most people choose food purely based on taste, and that's fine because food was meant for enjoyment. However, if we make food decisions based on taste alone, without regard to nutrition（营养）or healthy eating habits, then gaining weight is inevitable（不可避免的）. Changing your eating habit demands considering the nutritional value as well as well as the amount of calorie and fat.
Healthy eating habit is formed by eating foods that are low in fat. Learn to read labels（标签）so you can make good decisions based on healthy eating habits. Every packaged food product has a label that will tell you the nutritional value, calorie and fat content.
As you gain experience reading labels, you won't be fooled by clever and deceptive marketing techniques used to get more of your money. Healthy eating habit comes by education. Foods that have the word“light”on the package can still have a high amount of fat and calories.“Fat-free”does not mean you can eat all you want just because it has no fat. Many fat-free foods are loaded with sugar and are high in calories.
Eating habit remain the same as we grow from childhood to adulthood. If you were raised on sugar and high fat foods, chances are good that you still eat the same today. Unfortunately, our metabolism（新陈代谢）is likely to slow down as we age and many adults get the “middle age spread”by their mid thirties. The amount of fat keeps building as we get older unless the cycle is broken by good eating habits or exercise, preferably both.

The way people hold to the belief that a fun - filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably(不可避免的)brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (义务), self - improvement.
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 joys 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（解放） 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.
1. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _______ .
A. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage
B. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single
C. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities
D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement
2. Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ________ .
A. a rewarding task B. a thankless job
C. a moral duty D. a source of inevitable pain
3. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from(由…造成)________ .
A. hatred B. ignorance C. prejudice(偏见) D. misunderstanding
4. To understand what true happiness is one must ________ .
A. have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetime
B. be able to distinguish happiness from fun
C. put up with pain under all circumstances
D. make every effort to liberate oneself from pain
5. What is the author trying to tell us?
A. It is important to make commitments B. One must know how to attain happiness.
C. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain. D. It is pain that leads to happiness.
