二、阅读理解

Some time ago , I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg . I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended , as there are a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home . So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me . I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待) . I was quite wrong . Then man wouldn’t even look at my chair . The second shop , though slightly more polite , was just the same , and the third and , the fourth-so I decided that my approach must be wrong . I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind . I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper , “ Would you like to buy a chair ?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes , not a bad chair . How much do you want for it , sir ?” “Twenty pounds ,” I said . “OK ,” he said , “I’ll give you twenty pounds . ” “It’s got a slightly broken leg ,”I said . “Yes I saw that , it’s nothing .” Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited . “What will you do with it ?” I asked . “Oh , it will be easy to sell once the repair is done .” “I’ll buy it ,” I said . “ What do you mean ? You’ve just sold it to me ,” he said . “Yes , I know but I’ve changed my mind . I’m sorry , I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it .” “You must be crazy ,” he said Then , suddenly the penny dropped . “ I know what you want . You want me to repair your chair.” “ You’re right ,” I said . “ And what would you have done if I had walked in and said , ‘ Would you mend this chair for me’ ?” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it ,” he said . “We don’t’ do repairs , not enough money in it and too much trouble . But I’ll mend this for you , shall we say for a fiver ?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused (感到有趣) by the whole thing .

B Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy . Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier , have better marriages and have more respectable jobs . Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs . Even judges are softer on attractive defendants . But in the executive (主管的) circle , beauty can become a liability . While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder , it is harmful to a woman . Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men ; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success . Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones ; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck . All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives . Interestingly , though , the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes . Why are attractive women not thought to be able ? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine (女性的，娇柔的) and has an advantage in traditionally female jobs , but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the “manly” qualifies required . This is true even in politics , “When the only clue is how he or she looks , people treat men and women differently ,” says Anne Bowman , who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates (候选人). She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs , one of men and one of women , in order of attractiveness . The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices . They were asked to rank them again , in the order they would vote for them . The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men , but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes .

15.The underlined word in the first paragraph “ liability” most probably means .

A.disadvantage B.advantage C.misfortune D.trouble

答案：A

16.Bowman’s experiment shows that when it comes to politics , attractiveness .

A.turns out to be a disadvantage to men B.is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women

C.has as little effect on men as on women D.affects men and women alike

C A sixth of undergraduates in Beijing this year have registered at driving school . The students , mostly from majors such as business management or international trade , will finish their driving courses within 20 days or so . Training costs have dropped to 2,600 yuan for students , according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing . The price is not really low , but students will accept it , seeing it as an investment (投资) in their future . Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job . But a driver’s permit has become another factor (因素). “In the job market , owning a driver’s permit sometimes strengthens a graduating student’s competitiveness for a good position,” says Zhou Yang , an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and Law . Cars will become a necessary part of many people’s lives in the coming years , and it is difficult to get a permit of campus because of the pressures on working people’s time . “Having a fulltime job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive . We senior students have plenty of spare time , plenty of opportunity to learn .” Zhou says . Xu Jian , an official at the driving school , said undergraduates were very able and serious , and could grasp in an hour what ordinary people took four hours to learn . In this driving school , middle –aged people , young women and college students are the main customers . To get a driver’s permit , a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours’ practice before the final road test .

E 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 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 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 .

28.According to the author , a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because .

A.he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities

B.he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single

C.he finds more fun in dating than in marriage

D.he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement

答案：A

29.To understand what true happiness is one must .

A.have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetime B.make every effort to liberate oneself from pain

C.put up with pain under all circumstances D.be able to distinguish happiness from fun

答案：D

30.What is the author trying to tell us ?

A.Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain . B.One must know how to attain happiness .

C.It is important to make commitments . D.It is pain that leads to happiness .

答案：A
