The way people hold to the belief that a funfilled painfree 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 dian 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 paininevitably brought by such things as marriage raising children professional achievement religious commitment self improvement
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 For commitment is in fact quitepainful 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 threeday 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 ourhappiness It liberates money buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increaseour happiness now seems pointless And it liberates us from envy we now understand that all those who arealways having so much fun actually may not be happy at all
24 According to the author a bachelor resists mairiage 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 fim in dating than in mairiage
D he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement
25 Raising children in the author's opinion is
Aa moral duty B a rewarding task
C a thankless job D a source of inevitable pain
26 From the last paragraph we learn that envy sometimes stems from
AHatred B misunderstanding
CPrejudice D ignorance
27 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

It is simple enough to say that since books have classes fiction biography poetry—we should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us Yet few people ask from books what books can give us Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds asking of fiction that it shall be true of poetry that it shall be false of biography that it shall be flattering of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices
If we could banish all such preconception when we read that would be an admirable beginning Do not dictate to your author try to become him Be his fellow worker and accomplice If you hang back and reserve and criticize at first you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read
But if you open your mind as widely as possible then signs and hints of almost imperceptible flness from the twist and turn of the first sentences will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any otho Steep yoursdf in this acquaint yourself with this and soon you will find that your author is giving you or attempting to give you something far more definite
The thirty two chapters of anovel—if we consider how to read a novel first—are an attempt to make something as formed and controlled as a building but words are more impalpable than bricks reading is a longer and more complicated process than seeing Perhaps the quickest way to understand the elements of what a novelist is doing is not to read but to write to make your own experiment with the dangers and difficulties of words Recall then some event that has left a distinct impression on you—how at the comer of the street perhaps you passed two people talking A tree shook an electric light danced the tone of the talk was comic but also tragic a whole vision an entire conception seemed contained in that moment
28 What does the author mean by saying Yet few people ask from books what books can give us
A The author means that lots of people read few books
B The author thinks that readers have only absorbed part of knowledge in books
C The author holds that few people have a proper idea about what content some kind of books should include
D The author considers that readers can scarcely understand most of the books
30 According to the passage which of the following statement is right
A A reader should find some mistakes when he is reading
B The more difficult a book is the more you can get from it
C To read something is easier than to watch something
D One should be in the same track with the writer when he is reading
31 What is the possible meaning of impalpable (Paragraph 2) in the passage
A Clear B Elusive C Delicate D Precise
32 When a writer is writing he often get the whole conception
A after a long time’s thinking
B through an instant inspiration
C according to his own experience
Dby way of watching the objects attentively
D
Small increases in temperature found to add power to storms in the Atlantic
Hurricanes that form in the Atlantic Ocean are expected to gain considerable strength asthe global temperature continues to rise a new study has found
Using modeling data focused on the conditions in which huiricanes form a group oflntemational researchers based at Beijing Normal University found that for every 18° F ( 1℃ )rise of the Earth's temperature the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic that are as strong orstronger than Hurricane Katrina will increase twofold to sevenfold
Hurricane strength is directly related to the heat of the water where the storm forms Morewater vapor in the air from evaporating ocean water adds fuel to hurricanes that build strengthand head toward land
Hurricane Katrina is widely considered the measure for a destructive storm holding themaximum Category 5 designation for a full 24 hours in late August 2005 It lost strength as itpassed over the Florida peninsula but gained destructive power fight before colliding with New Orleans killing more than 200 people and causing S 80 billion in damage
The study points to a gradual increase of Katrinalike events The wanning experienced over the 20th century doubled the number of such debilitating(类摧垮)storms But theongoing wanning of the planet into the 21st century could increase the frequency of theworst kinds of storms by 700 percent threatening coastlines along the Atlantic Ocean withmuitiple Category 5 storms every year
Our results support the idea that changes in regional sea surface temperatures is theprimary cause of hurricane variability said Aslak Gimstead a researcher with the Center forlce and Climate at the University of Copenhagen The large impact of small seasurfacetemperature increases was more than Girustead and his colleagues had anticipated Theentire study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Global temperatures have steadily increased making the past decade the warmest onrecord Earlier this year climate researchers reported that the Earth's temperatures have risenfaster in the last century than at any point since the last
