10.Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money.Strange as it may seem,if you're unsatisfied,the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires-not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.
Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力)  to enjoy life.Most people are already swamped(淹没) with things.They eat,wear,go and talk too much.They live in too big a house with too many rooms,yet their house of life is a hut.
Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅),a royal palace.Every new taste,every additional interest,every fresh enthusiasm adds a room.Here are several rooms your house of life should have.
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things.If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them,they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.
Literature,classic literature,is a beautiful,richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment.To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person,for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.
Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent.Real riches are of the spirit.And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk,you have increased your thrills and bettered them.And life is a matter of thrills.
Sports,without which you remain poor,mean a lot in life.No matter who you are,you would be more human,and your house of life would be better supported against the had days,if you could,and did,play a bit.
Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life,the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.

68.The author intends to tell us thatD.
A.true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means
B.big houses are people's most valued possessions
C.big houses can in a sense bring richness of life
D.true happiness comes from spiritual riches
69.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies thatB.
A.however materially rich,they never seem to be satisfied
B.however materially rich,they remain spiritually poor
C.though their house is big,they prefer a simple life
D.though their house is big,it seems to be a cage
70.It can be learned from the passage thatC.
A.more money brings more happiness
B.art is needed to make your house beautiful
C.literature can enrich your spiritual life
D.sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness
71.What would be the best title for the passage?A
A.House of Life                                B.Secret of Wealth
C.Rest and Refreshment                         D.Interest and Enthusiasm.

分析 这是一篇议论文.很多人物质上非常丰富,住豪宅,享美食.但是他们真正幸福吗?他们的内心生活的"房子"又是如何呢?这篇文章论证了精神富有与真正快乐之间的关系.有些人物质上富足,精神上却很贫穷.文学可以丰富人们的精神生活,真正的快乐来自于精神的富有.

解答 68.D 推理判断题.根据文章4,5,6,7段第一句"Art should be a desire for you…"和"Literature,classic literature,is a beautiful,richly furnished room…"和"Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent."和"Sports,without which you remain poor,mean a lot in life."真正幸福的人需要懂或者拥有:艺术,文学,音乐和运动等,而这些主要是与我们精神上的丰富有关系的.也就是说真正的幸福是精神上的富有.再联系全文最后一句话Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life,the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.可知,真正的快乐来自于精神的富有.故答案选D.
69.B 推理判断题.根据第二自然段的前两句话"Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力) to enjoy life.Most people are already swamped(淹没) with things.They eat,wear,go and talk too much."可知,划线句子的意思是他们物质上富足,精神上却很贫穷,故答案选B.
70.C 细节理解题.根据第五自然段"Literature,classic literature,is a beautiful,richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment.To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person,for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library."可知文学可以丰富你的精神生活,故答案选C.
71.A 标题判断题.文章多次提到了房子,且这篇文章论证了精神富有与真正快乐之间的关系.作者在文章里告诉我们,要想得到内心的幸福,需要了解艺术,文学,音乐等等不同的内容来丰富我们的内心世界.A项中House of Life涵盖了这些内容.故答案选A.

点评 人生感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪,使人从中受到教育的文章.这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文,还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔.文章的结构和议论文类似,一般是总分总或总分结构.每段首句或尾句为主题句(论点),其它句子围绕主题展开论述(论据),论证方法多种多样,或举例,或引用名言,或正反对照等.阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句,有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等.

5.A German study suggests that people who were too optimistic about their future actually faced greater risk of disability or death within 10 years than those pessimists who expected their future to be worse.
  The paper,published this March in Psychology and Aging,examined health and welfare surveys from roughly 40,000 Germans between ages 18 and 96.The surveys were conducted every year from 1993 to 2003.
  Survey respondents (受访者) were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10,among other questions.
  The researchers found that young adults (age 18 to 39)routinely overestimated their future life satisfaction,while middle-aged adults (age 40 to 64)more accurately predicted how they would feel in the future.Adults of 65 and older,however,were far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction.Not only did they feel more satisfied than they thought they would,the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio (比率) of disability and death for the study period.
"We observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following decade,"wrote Frieder R.Lang,a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.
  Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic about their future may be more careful about their actions than people who expected a rosy future.
"Seeing a dark future may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may contribute to taking improved precautions (预防措施),"the authors wrote.
  Surprisingly,compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes,respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline.Also,the researchers said that higher income was related to a greater risk of disability.
  The authors of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions.Illness,medical treatment and personal loss could also have driven health outcomes.
  However,the researchers said a pattern was clear."We found that from early to late adulthood,individuals adapt their expectations of future life satisfaction from optimistic,to accurate,to pessimistic,"the authors concluded.

67.According to the study,who made the most accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction?B
A.Optimistic adults.
B.Middle-aged adults.
C.Adults in poor health.
D.Adults of lower income.
68.Pessimism may be positive in some way because it causes peopleC
A.to fully enjoy their present life                         
B.to estimate their contribution accurately
C.to take measures against potential risks              
D.to value health more highly than wealth
69.How do people of higher income see their future?A
A.They will earn less money.
B.They will become pessimistic.
C.They will suffer mental illness.
D.They will have less time to enjoy life.
70.What is the clear conclusion of the study?D
A.Pessimism guarantees chances of survival.
B.Good financial condition leads to good health.
C.Medical treatment determines health outcomes.
D.Expectations of future life satisfaction decline with age.
