     (10·浙江E篇)

    I needed to buy a digital camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps (快照), maybe occasionally for magazines. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those?”  He looked perturbed (不安). “Do you want to try it first?” he said. It didn’t quite sound like a question. “Do I need to?” I replied ,“There is nothing wrong with it？” This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad. “No, no. But you should try it,” he said encouragingly. “Compare it with the others.”

     I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.

    But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out of my chosen camera from cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers… and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.

    Why do we think that new options(选择) still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.

    57.The shop assistant insisted that the writer should               

    A. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it.

    B. compare the camera he had chosen with the others.

    C. get more information about different companies.

    D. trust him and stop asking questions.

    58. What does the writer mean by “it would be worth half what I paid for it ”(paragraph 2)

    A. He should get a 50% discount.

    B. The price of the camera was unreasonably high.

    C. The quality of the camera was not good.

    D. The camera would soon fall in value.

    59. The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he                  

    A. knew very little about it.

    B. didn’t trust the shop assistant.

    C. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best.

    D. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers.

    60. I t can be inferred from the passage that in the writer’s opinion,            .

    A. people waste too much money on cameras

    B. cameras have become an important part of our daily life

    C. we don’t actually need so many choices when buying a product

    D. famous companies care more about profit than quality

    Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life．He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think．One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week．From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life．
    He says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture．You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends．But you’ll know him only when you ask to lend you some money．If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stranger than ever before．Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t．This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it．
    Since money is important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important．The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book．
    Answer: The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect．I’m nothing．I don’t know much．All I am is rich．
    People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In this book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society; to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end．Money plays an important role in the modern world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life．

    B．he does not consider himself to be very successful
    C．he does not think that he is a very important person

    B
    Beverley had been feeling dull, bored and a bit out of it. He mentioned his mood (state of mind) when going to Andrew for a sports massage. He wondered whether he should take up Tai Chi. But Andrew didn’t think so.
    “Tai Chi is great for people who want to feel grounded, but that isn’t your problem,” he said. “What you need is something more exciting, like dancing.”
    In future, therapists(理疗专家) may well suggest that you fight your sadness with a course in kickboxing, and family doctors might suggest that you take a rest in the mountains instead.
    We’ve long been aware that exercise has benefits beyond the physical ones; that activity can relax you, and help psychological well-being by reducing stress, anxiety and sadness.
    Now some trainers and sports psychologists are going further and examining how to identify the correct exercise for a client’s(当事人) specific state of mind and personality.
    Professor Stuart Biddle, an exercise and sports psychologist based at Loughborough University, England, has researched the effects of exercise on moods.
    One of his findings was that, if your problem is low self-esteem, weight training should be your bag. “Working with weights builds strength,” he says, “and creates a stronger body image.”
    Anger management, meanwhile, demands bursts of explosive(爆发性的) activity, from sports such as boxing or tennis.
    This is because anger makes the body release（释放）adrenaline(肾上腺素), which causes heart rate and blood pressure to rise and muscles to become tighter —— the physiological changes required if you are to defend yourself.
    Research shows that the “punch-bag(用拳头击打沙袋)” method of releasing disappointment and anger through hitting a boxing opponent(对手) or tennis ball, can help with fighting issues.
    They have also found that teamwork is good for self-esteem and that those who are brought together to work in a social setting become more lively.
    Which type of exercise will best help is, of course, down to the individual. Clearly, before you can find the best physical activity for yourself, you have to know your needs.
    Ask yourself a few questions such as: What do I need in my life? Which issues are difficult for me? Am I sad or troubled? Only then can you decide whether you need taking up, or taking down.
    5.Why did Andrew think Beverley shouldn’t take up Tai Chi?
    A. Because Beverley was too weak.
    B. Because Beverley was too foolish.
    C. Because Beverley’s mind was out of control.
    D. Because Beverley lacked activity.
    6. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A. Psychologists haven’t realized the relationship between exercise and health.
    B. People have already realized the relationship between exercise and spirits.
    C. Boxing and tennis are the best ways to increase one’s self-esteem.
    D. Trainers and psychologists don’t agree with each other on exercise.
    7. Professor Stuart Biddle thinks that ____ .
    A. anger should be examined by doctors
    B. anger should be taken away by medicine
    C. anger should be given off by activities
    D. anger should be held back by oneself
    8. The main idea of this passage may be ____ .
    A. sports build up your body
    B. sports are helpful to your mind
    C. heart trouble is due to anger
    D. anxiety and sadness are harmful to you
