    According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about Tsai Chih-chung? A. He thinks some people are like ocean, some like vapor, while others like ice cream. B. He says that one who thinks over life is either a scholar or a philosopher. C. He values more thinking and personal freedom than making a living. D. Tsai devoted his life to creating cartoons in order to make money. C Happiness and sadness are states of being that define the way we view the world. It is often said that some people by nature have a sunny character. Now scientists may have discovered why. Some people may be born for happiness, while others are genetically negative, scientists have suggested in a study published late February in a British journal. Earlier research had already established that the gene known as 5-HTTLPR plays a key role in determining how the neurotransmitter serotonin works within the brain. Serotonin, a hormone , passes chemical messages between nerve cells. It has been closely linked to mood. Several anti-depressant drugs regulate serotonin levels. Scientists had also identified three variants of the gene. Two so-called "short" variants were linked to a higher risk of depression and suicide attempts. Unlike the two "short" variants, the "long" variant of 5-HTTLPR showed a clear dislike of negative images, such as fierce animals, and a clear liking for positive ones, such as flowers. Researchers from the University of Essex in Britain, led by Elaine Fox, showed participants a series of images. The images were divided into three kinds: negative ones aimed at inspiring fear or stress such as a spider or person about to commit suicide, pleasant ones and neutral ones. The participants who had the long variant of the 5-HTTLPR gene "showed a clear dislike of negative material alongside a careful attention for positive material," the researchers found. They paid close attention to the pretty pictures, and ignored the frightening ones. On the other hand, the short variant groups had the opposite reaction. In January, the Australian government organized "happiness workshops", teaching government staff how to be happy. The department that held the "happiness workshops" said unhappy staff weren't productive staff. Australian political opposition parties have argued that the "happiness workshops" are probably a waste of money and couldn't increase productivity as intended. However, whether the workshop will have a happy or disappointing result, we will have to wait and see. 【查看更多】

         FOR many of us, cartoon strips (连环画) are simply one of our pastimes. The popular Japanese manga
    provides us with an escape from reality into a world of fantasy, adventure and romance. With much less text
    and pictures running for pages, it fits perfectly into today's fast, throwing away city lifestyle. But Tsai Chih-
    chung, a famous Taiwanese illustrator (漫画家), doesn't agree. He believes cartoons can be a bridge
    connecting traditional Chinese culture and wisdom with the modern world in a much more wise and acceptable
    way.
         He has interpreted (演绎) Lao Zi, Confucius, Mencius, Zhuang Zi and Sun Zi and made their works
    accessible to a global audience. He has also produced two books about Zen (禅宗), introducing oriental
    philosophy (哲学). His cartoons are humorous yet full of wisdom and are admired as an easy way to learn
    Chinese classics. 
         After avoiding the public for ten years, Tsai made a comeback in late April with seven new works. But
    does his age, 61, work as a gap between him and his young readers? Tsai doesn't think so.
         The topics he has covered range from philosophy in a time of individuality (个性) to the learning and
    memorizing techniques used at school."Every child is a genius and has the potential beyond his own
    imagination," he said.  
         If popular Japanese manga is simply for entertainment, Tsai's work, to a large extent, is to light the
    power of thinking in a light-hearted way. Tsai uses different forms of water to refer to people. In his eyes
    some people are like an ocean, some are like vapor, while others may be ice or rain. But in essence they
    share a similarity-human being's forever chasing for the true and the good.
          "The person who thinks over life issues is not necessarily a scholar or a philosopher," he said. "I've
    devoted my whole life to thinking and individual freedom, not making a living."

    1. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. Tsai's work fits today's city lifestyle.
    B. All of Tsai's works mainly introduce eastern philosophy.
    C. Tsai's works are humorous as well as full of wisdom.
    D. Tsai's works are not involved in children's study.
    2. What's the word "vapor" mean in the 6th paragraph? It means _____.
    A. a kind of food
    B. a form of water
    C. a form of solid
    D. a kind of people
    3. From the passage we know that _____.

    A. Tsai once stopped writing his works for ten years
    B. Tsai writes his works in order to make a living
    C. Tsai thinks everyone should be a scholar or a philosopher
    D. Tsai doesn't think there is a gap between him and his young readers 

    4. In the author's opinion, _____.
    A. Japanese Manga is more valuable than Tsai's
    B. Tsai's works are more valuable than Japanese Manga
    C. Japanese Manga is as valuable as Tsai's
    D. Both Japanese Manga and Tsai's works are valueless
