Many people think that when they become rich and successful, happiness will naturally

follow. Let me tell you that nothing is further from the truth. The world is full of very rich people who are as miserable as if they were living in hell. We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs. Quite clearly, money is not the only answer to all problems. Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness. Lottery winnings do not bring happiness. Gambling winnings do not bring happiness. To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work, in your contribution towards others’ happiness and in your wealth you have earned through your own honest effort. If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means, you will know that it is ill-earned money. If you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others, you will not be happy with it. You will think you are a base person. Long-term happiness is based on honesty, productive work, contribution, and self-esteem. Happiness is not an end; it is a process. It is a continuous process of honest, productive work which makes a real contribution to others and makes you feel you are a useful, worthy person. As Dr. Wayne wrote, “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.” There is no use saying “Someday when I achieve these goals, when I get a car, build a house and own my own business, then I will be really happy.” Life just does not work that way. If you wait for certain things to happen and depend on external circumstances of life to make you happy, you will always feel unfulfilled. There will always be something missing.

Somepeoplehateeverythingthatismodern.Theycannotimaginehowanyonecanreallylikemodernmusic;th

Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they

find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom

have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for

perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient

with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original

ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can

only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concerns himself alone, but if

it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does

sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.

We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient

buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn

from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to

imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.

Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.

A. they are aged

B. they find it hard to accept modern things

C. they take their standards of perfection from the Greek

D. they look at things by the standards of the past

听力原文： When cars first started appearing on the streets of the world, few people took them seriously. They were toys--playthings for grown men who didn't have much to do. No one thought that the automobile would become the world's most popular means of transportation.

When Henry Ford started selling his Model T in 1908, he changed all that. Ford believed that a car should be low-cost transportation that everyone could afford. So he decided to make such a car. First, he wanted a dependable automobile that wouldn't break down easily. Then he wanted a simple engine that almost anyone could fix.

Ford wanted to sell the car at a low price, so he had to make it at a low cost. Thus he made only one model and designed one color--black.

In 1932, the Duesenberg brothers produced a car that many people think it was the most luxurious automobile ever made--the Duesenberg SJ. Every Duesenberg car was custom-made, so each one was different. But it usually weighed about 7,000 pounds and had a very wide wheelbase--150 inches. It also had a 400 horsepower engine that could drive the huge car from zero to 100 miles per hour in 17 seconds.

The inside was very luxurious, too. It had the best silk, leather, silver and wood. A Dusenberg car was definitely expensive but rich people often felt that they had to own one. Unfortunately, the car cost so much to produce that the company lost money. In 1937, after making only 500 of them, the Duesenbergs stopped producing this kind of cars forever.

(33)

A．The two models of cars.

B．The history of car industry.

C．The development of cars in America.

D．The structure of Duesenberg cars.

Passage Three Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troub

Passage Three

Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One's first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a short moment.

At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. People will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well.

Americans who live in cities often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But When they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. If you need help and say, "I am a stranger here. Can you help me？' Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you help. If this happens, do not be discouraged (气馁); just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.

41. Many people who first visit the United States will find that______.

A. America is a highly developed country

B. Americans are impatient and unfriendly people

C. the fast pace in American life often causes much trouble

D. American city people seem to be always in a rush

There are thousands of different languages in the world. Everyone seems to think that his
native (本国的) language is the most important one, as it is their first language. For many people it is even their only language all their lives. But English is the world's most widely used language.

As a native language, English is spoken by nearly three hundred million people: in the U. S. , Eng land, Australia and some other countries.

For people in India and many other countries, English is often necessary for business, education, information and other activities. So English is the second language there.

As a foreign language, no other language is more widely studied or used than English. We use it to listen to the radio, to read books or to travel. It is also one of the working languages in the United Nations and is more used than the others.

The native language is a person's ______ language.

A．first

B．only

C．one

D．foreign
