    16．We insisted that the girl ________ suitable for the job，but the manager insisted that she _______ the job because of her shyness as a receptionist．（　　）
    A．should be； was offeredB．was not； should be offered
    C．was； not be offeredD．should not be； was not offered

    分析 我们坚持认为这个女孩适合这份工作；但是经理坚持要求不把这份工作提供给她，因为作为接待她太害羞．

    解答 答案是C．本题考查动词insist的用法．insist表示"坚持要求"时从句中的动词用"（should）+do"；但是表示"坚持认为"时，遵循一般的宾语从句的规则．根据句意，第一句中insist表示"坚持认为"，主句动词是过去时，从句中动词也用与过去相关的时态，排除A和D；第二句中insist是坚持要求，所以从句中动词用"（should）+do"；由but判断经理坚持不把这份工作提供给她，所以答案选择C．

    点评 本题考查特殊的动词insist的用法，要在理解基本用法的基础上结合语境，做出合理的判断．

    6．Singing are the pupils of the remote Beau-Roc primary school in Haiti．One of them plays a guitar made from an empty oil tin．Their headmistress，Emile Jean-Noel，is one of the few women school principals in the country．
    Over 70% of Haitian population live below the poverty line with inadequate food，water，schools，or housing．To reduce the hunger that prevents learning and to encourage parents to send their children to school，meals are provided by the World Food Programme．
    "We are so cut off we have many difficulties，"comments Emile，adding that finding chalk，school books and other materials is practically impossible．Emile tries to encourage those around her to make use of all available resources．Her efforts are bearing fruit．One of her successes was convincing local women to contribute to their children's schooling and increase their own income by selling embroidery （刺绣） and other handicrafts．
    Recent political instability has meant that the country has not invested in education for ten years．Enrolment （入学） is a mere 44per cent and a little less than a half of those entering primary school finish it．Less than a third of these go on to secondary school．In rural areas it is not rare to find 17-and 18year-olds in primary school．Beau-Roc has only 4teachers for 260pupils．Emile works constantly to improve her pupils'environment．Under her direction，a local worker is now constructing a storehouse for the food delivered regularly by the World Food Programme．
    Not only is Emile's salary too little，but she receives it irregularly．For her，transport is a real headache．She lives five kilometers away and has to take a privately-owned bus，costing more than she can afford．
    "The decision to be a rural teacher in Haiti should not be taken lightly"，Emile comments．"With all the sacrifices and risks it requires，only those who are really cut out for teaching should do it．"Nevertheless，Emile loves her job．"I always feel at home with the children and，the parents understand what I'm doing．"

    8．I live in the land of Disney，Hollywood and year-round sun．You may think People in such an attractive，fun-filled place are happier than others．If so you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness．
    Many intelligent people still think fun equals happiness．The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common．Fun is what we experience during an act．Happiness is what we experience after an act．It is a deep，long-lasting emotion．
    Going to an amusement park or a ball game，watching a movie or television are fun activities that help us relax，temporally forget our problems and maybe even laugh．But they do not bring happiness，because their positive effects end when the fun ends．
    I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play，it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun．They have constant access to exciting parties，fancy cars，expensive homes，everything that spells"happiness"But in memoir（回忆录） after memoir，they expose the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun：depression，alcoholism，drug addiction，broken marriages and loneliness．
    Ask a bachelor 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（承诺）．For commitment is in fact quite painful．The single life is filled with fun，adventure and excitement．Marriage has such moments，but they are not its most distinguishing features．
    Similarly，couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness．They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want．Couples with babies are lucky to get a whole night's sleep．I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children．
    Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to．It liberates time：now we can devote more hours to activities that can truly 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 frees us from envy：we now understand that all those rich and famous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all．
    63．What is the passage mainly about？C
    A．Marriage and commitment．       
    B．Success and satisfaction．
    C．Fun and happiness．             
    D．Entertainment and responsibility．
    64．The author probably agrees thatD．
    A．fun creates long-lasting satisfaction
    B．long-standing fun may lead to happiness
    C．fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness
    D．fun is short-lived while happiness is long-lasting
    65．What does the author think of marriage？B
    A．It ends in pain．               
    B．It means commitment．
    C．It affords greater fun．                          
    D．It leads to raising children．
    66．If one gets the real meaning of happiness，heA．
    A．won't place too much value on money 
    B．will start a business
    C．will seek for freedom              
    D．won't devote himself to his family．

    "Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut，"his father whispered gently，"and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful，did they？"

    64．Why did the doctor turn quickly and look out of the window？C
    A．Because the baby had a tiny face．
    B．Because he saw the baby crying．

    6．Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s．The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong．People watched him，and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach．Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before!Spinach became a necessary part of many people's diets．Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable．
    Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong，but this is not true．Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable．
    People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake．In the 1890s，a group of people studied what was inside vegetables．This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did．The group wrote the number wrong，and everyone accepted it．
    Today，we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is．However，spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid．
    It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong．Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along．
    51．A good title for this reading passage isB．
    A．Popeye the Sailor                                              
    B．The Truth about Spinach
