Historically,work has been associated with slavery and sin (罪恶)and punishment.And in our own day we are used to bearing traditional complaints.Against this background,it may well come as a surprise to learn that not only psychologists but other behavioral scientists have come to accept the positive contribution of work to the individual"s happiness and sense of personal achievement.Work is more than a necessity for most human beings;it is the focus of their lives,the source of their identity and creativity.
Rather than a punishment of a burden,work is the opportunity to realize one"s potential.And the opposite is true,too.For large numbers of people,the absence of work is harmful to their health.Retirement often brings many problems surrounding the “What do I do with myself?”question,even though there may be no financial cares.Large numbers of people regularly get headaches and other illnesses on weekends when they don"t have their jobs to go to,and must take care of themselves.It has been observed that unemployment,quite apart from financial pressures,brings enormous psychological troubles and that many individuals"conditions become worse rapidly when jobless.
But why?Why should work be such a significant source of human satisfaction?A good share of the answer rests in the kind of pride that is stimulated by the job,by the activity of accomplishing.
小题1:Which of the following statements can NOT be learned from the passage?
A.People feel happier and more content than they realize when working. |
B.Work is likely to provide you with the chance of achieving your potential. |
C.Happiness can only be gained through working. |
D.A lot of people will suffer physically and psychologically without work. |
A.work is related to negative aspects |
B.happiness has nothing to do with work |
C.identity and creativity depend on work |
D.work is not only a necessity for humans but the focus of their lives |
A.What the proper way to balance work and life is. |
B.How work brings people pride in accomplishment. |
C.Which is more important:the material things of life or psychological wellbeing. |
D.How people overcome the problems arising from retirement. |
A.Doubtful. | B.Concerned. |
C.Approving. | D.Neutral. |
答案

I imagined being signed by some famous model companies.For months,any boredom or disappointment I faced was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be real model.I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!
Of course,I wasn"t signed,but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to 5′9″(about 1.75 metres) I could be a success.I prayed for a growth spurt (冲刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream.I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $500 for classes.$500 for a photo shoot,and $300 for other expenses.My parents only agreed after hours and hours of my begging.
The agency sent me out on a few auditions,but with every day I didn"t receive a call,I grew more depressed.The_final_straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling.There was an open call in New York City.We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting,only to be told that I was too short.I was devastated (极度不安的).
Years later,I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn"t actually love modeling,just the idea of it.I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal.The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.
小题1:What"s the main reason why the author wanted to be a model?
A.She won a national contest. |
B.She wanted to get reputation and wealth. |
C.She was urged by some modeling agencies. |
D.She had full potential to be a successful model. |
A.Encouraging. | B.Worried. |

D.She realized that she didn"t actually love the idea of modeling. |
A.the last in a series of bad things that happen to make someone very upset,angry,etc... |
B.the final result that she was admitted by the model company. |
C.the final audition given by the agency. |
D.the decision that she made at last not to be a model any more. |
A.Where there"s a will there"s way. |
B.Being a model is not that easy. |
C.We should have our own judgement and should not just follow others. |
D.We might set unpractical goals but the experience can help us grow. |
I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. Some of the delegates even cried. I thought that maybe I had reached some of them, that my speech might actually spur(激励) action. Now, a decade from Rio, after I’ve sat through many more conferences, I’m not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual’s voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.
When I was little, the world was simple. But as a young adult, I’m learning that as we have to make choices — education, career, lifestyle — life gets more and more complicated. We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is in progress, but aren’t taught how to pursue a happy, healthy or sustainable(可持续的) way of living. And we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was ideal and innocent.
Today I’m no longer a child, but I’m worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in. I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the positive tide of change.
小题1:The purpose of what the writer said at the age of 12 was to _____.
A.end poverty and make school beautiful |
B.find environmental answers and keep the words that they always told themselves |
C.end poverty and solve the problems about environment |
D.find a wonderful place and clean it up |
A.a long period of laughing |
B.a warm welcome |
C.an expression used for greeting |
D.a long period of clapping and applause |
A.in his teens |
B.in his twenties |
C.in his thirties |
D.in his forties |
A.the writer thinks what he thought at the age of 12 is mature. |
B.the writer’s children will certainly live in an ideal environment. |
C.the writer’s confidence in the people in power has deeply shaken their voice. |
D.the writer’s belief does not change when he grows up. |
Several days later I was still about the hitchhiker (搭便车的人), about how I didn’t even lift my foot the accelerator (加速踏板) for him. “Does anyone stop any more?” I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois’s famous line—”I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Was that these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey the US without any money, just on the good will of others. What would happen? Would he find food, shelter and support?
The idea intrigued (激起兴趣) me.
The week I 37, I realized that I had never done something truly crazy. I decided to really do it: travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. I would only accept of rides, food and places to sleep. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. I was treated kindly I went. I was by people’s readiness to help a stranger.
In Oregon, a house painter named Mike the cold weather and asked if I had a coat. I didn’t, so he gave me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker in Michigan named Tim invited me to a dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me a tent. I refused, but Tim insisted, packing it into my bag himself. I found people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or with them whatever they happened to have. Those who had the to give often gave the most.
I’m to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter and their gifts. My faith in ordinary folks was . I was proud to live in a country where people were still willing to help. In spite of everything, you can still depend on the of strangers.

When we see something we don’t like,we wish it could be different.We cry out for something better.That may be human nature,or perhaps it’s something ingrained(根深蒂固的) in our culture.The root of the unhappiness isn’t necessarily that we want things to be different.However, it’s that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place.We’ve judged it as bad,rather than saying, “It"s not bad or good,and it just is it.”
In one of my books,I said“You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned”.Some readers said it"s too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong.However, it’s only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad.Instead,you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.
This can be applied to whatever you do:how other people act at work,how politics works and how depressing the news media can be.Accept these things as they are,and try to understand why they’re that way.It will save you a lot of sadness,because you’ll no longer say,“Oh.1 wish bad things didn’t happen!’’
Does it mean you can never change things? Not at a11.But change things not because you can’t accept things as they are,but because you enjoy the process of changing,learning and growing.
Can we make this world a better place? You can say that you’11 continue to try to do things to help others,to grow as a person,to make a difference in this world.That’s the correct path you choose to take,because you enjoy that path.Therefore,when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference,try a different approach:accept,and understand.It might lead to some interesting results.
小题1:The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because ___________.
A.it is our natural emotion in the life |
B.culture asks us to be different from others |
C.everyone has their own opinions on things |
D.we dislike something in the beginning |
A.depressing | B.frightening | C.delighting | D.idealistic |
A.acting well at work and in politics |
B.feeling depressed for the news media |
C.accepting and understanding what has happened |
D.saying something negative when bad things come |
A.to help others and make a difference |
B.to enjoy what you have to do in the work |
C.to judge yourself and make a wish for you |
D.to try a new way when making the world better |
A.Expecting things to be different gives us hope. |
B.Accepting can make our life happier and better. |
C.Traditional culture becomes root of unhappiness. |
D.Judging good or bad is important for our world. |
A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted. Youth however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the company of the elderly is like reading a thick book of good edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it. As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.
小题1:The underlined word in the first paragraph is closest to the word ______ in meaning.
A.decoration | B.clarification | C.movement | D.identification |
A.people should be packaged at all ages |
B.people should be packaged in a special way |
C.elderly people also care about packaging |
D.proper packaging makes people attractive |
A.hardly exists | B.is the strongest |
C.comes from the inside | D.comes from the appearance |
A.dye your hair | B.make up at a young age |
C.follow the ageing process | D.give up fame and wealth |
A.are usually packaged like a finely-made book |
B.experience a lot and have rich knowledge of life |
C.do a lot of traveling and can give you much information |
D.enjoy reading thick books about beautiful nature and fairyland |
