查看习题详情和答案>>The Happiest Cities On Earth
If you’re looking for a cheery destination for your next vacation, consider these four spots and get ready to take notes on how to really live the good life.
Singapore
With one of the highest population densities（密度）in the world and residents known for being workaholics, it’s hard to imagine the city-state of Singapore having one of the happiest populations on earth. And yet in a recent survey, 95% of them said they were either very happy or quite happy.
They give their city high marks for cleanliness and safety—subways are pristine (洁净的) and unfailingly arrive on time, and police are seen as helpful and good at their jobs. What’s more, they feel they can count on their neighbours—all 5.1 million of them.
Arhus, Denmark
The residents of Arhus cheerfully part with 68% of their income in taxes, knowing that in return they will be guaranteed free healthcare, free daycare, and a top-notch (第一流的) education for their children.
An energetic city of 300,000 with a lively cultural scene and a diverse number of religions represented, the sense of equality (the range in incomes is narrow), as well as easy access to the nearby sea and surrounding countryside, make Arhus seem more like a small town.
San Luis Obispo, CA
According to a 2008 Gallup-Healthways study, people who live in San Luis Obispo are more likely than residents of other U.S. cities to smile and experience joy and are less likely to experience pain or depression. About 64,000 of the 260,000 people in the greater metropolitan area (都市区), located halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, volunteer at over 11,000 non-profit organizations.
Few journeys to work are longer than 10 minutes (one reason its members rank in the upper third for job satisfaction), so “it’s easy to be involved,” resident Pierre Rademaker said. Business signs are unobtrusive (不显眼的) by law, fewer than 11% of residents smoke—the lower rate in the U.S.—there are lots of bike lanes, and the city’s plaza draws crowds of people for free concerts on summer Fridays. What’s not to love?
Monterrey, Mexico
The people of Monterrey don’t enjoy high household incomes or access to good healthcare. Instead, there’s a profound sense of gratitude for the new political freedom enjoyed since the oppressive Institutional Revolutionary Party lost power in 2000—the first time in nearly a century—as well as an emphasis on social life over work.
Another reason Monterrey residents may be so happy is their faith in God and family, and their ability to tough it out through bad times.
“We laugh at sickness, poverty and even death,” says Basanez, a political scientist who lives in Monterrey. “We even have a holiday to celebrate death. November 2, the Day of the Dead, is one of the biggest holidays of the year.”
1.According to the passage, what do the residents in the four cities have in common?
A. All the residents can make great fortunes by working hard.
B. The residents there are mostly educators.
C. All the residents enjoy enough material wealth.
D. The majority of the residents are satisfied with their current life.
2.According to the passage, we can infer that _______.
A. the people of Singapore expect their neighbours to come to their help when necessary
B. the people of Monterrey even observe one’s death on a special day of a year
C. the residents of Arhus happily pay 68% of their income for their children’s education fee
D. the people who live in San Luis Obispo have job satisfaction because they can enjoy good working conditions
3.According to the passage which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A. The people of Monterrey didn’t enjoy political freedom until 2000.
B. The residents in Singapore feel happy because of its low population density.
C. The people of San Luis Obispo can enjoy free concerts in summer.
D. Arhus is handy to the seaside and countryside.
4.What can we learn from the underlined part “the sense of equality”?
A. The residents of Arhus have no racial discrimination.
B. Arhus is considered as a family sharing everything with each other.
C. There is no wide gap between the rich and the poor in Arhus.
D. The residents of Arhus can depend on their neighbours to help.

阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项。注意：选项中有一项为多余选项。
_________1．Hadley
If you smoke and you still don’t believe that there’s a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself．Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number．Even these few people might be passive smokers without realising it．
_________2．Randy
Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax．It’s almost like a tax on our daily bread．In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities．So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn’t need to shout too loudly about it．
_________3．Sampson
The advertising of tobacco is one of the problems．We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lungs early in the morning．That would never do．The advertisements always depict handsome, clean-shaven young men．They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great open-air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness．
What utter nonsense!
_________4．Rowley
Of course tobacco can help government to raise money．However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other．Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease．Countless valuable lives are lost．In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether．
_________5．Bernice
Smoking can provide constant consolation．When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seem to get right．After a day’s hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking．It can be even better with a cup of coffee．It’s so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of every day life．So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us．
Statements
A．Smoking brings many psychological benefits．
B．Tobacco is an important source of income to the government．
C．Smoking is sure to cause diseases．
D．It’s a short-sighted policy to depend on tobacco for money．
E．The advertisement for it is dishonest and harmful．
F．The tobacco industry makes high-quality advertisement for smoking．
