II. Reading Comprehension:

(A)

So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning , they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that“ reading cannot be taught directly and scho ols should stop trying to do the impossible”.

Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.

Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private ,for learning is an occupation of the mind ,and that process is not open to public scrutiny.

If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest（探索）for knowledge? Smith ha s one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. ”

When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher fulfil them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.

1．The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ________.

A. it is one of the most difficult school courses

B. students spend endless hours in reading

C. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance

D. too much time is spent in teaching about reading

2．The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.

A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students

C. teachers can devise the most effcient system for reading

D. teachers can make their teaching activities observable

3．The underlined word“ scrutiny” most probably means“________”.

A. inquiry

B. observation

C. control

D. suspicion

4．According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ________.

A. children become highly motivated

B. teacher and learner roles are interchangeable

C. teaching helps children in the search for knowledge

D. reading enriches children?s experience

5．The main idea of the passage is that ________.

A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read

B. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible

C. reading ability is something acquired rather than taught

D. reading is more complicated that generally believed

(B)

Once upon a time in the West, the only acceptable role models available to women were that of the wife and mother. But now, not only are feminist critics and historians rediscovering the heroines of the past, we have also enough real heroines around today to believe our own new dreams of power.

Although Madonna?s star might be getting less bright in Britain and America, let us not underestimate her influence. Many young women used to think that being a strong, feminist, demanding woman meant that they might have to give up their claims to be sexual, funny and individualist. But here is someone who is completely in control of her life, her art, her performance. When she grabs her crotch on stage or sells a book o f pin-up pictures of herself, we can see her recreating images that have been used before only to exploit women , and using them to show women that their sexuality is something to be proud of .

No wonder of Madonna?s fans are not men but young women. They are responding to this new, real possibility that they can play with fire and may not get burnt. They identify with the fat that Madonna controls all aspects of her art, rather than being the innocent victim.

Another female icon whose power has swept through women?s imaginations is Margaret Thatcher. It is all very well for her to say that she does not think she woes the women?s movement anything. What is important for women, whether or not they sympathizes with her methods, politics or rhetoric, is that here was a woman who stood with the men at the G7 summits or in the British Cabinet as a leader among leaders.

She is not an icon that is easy to cope with. Just as with Madonna, she goes against the grain of the most traditional images of female power. But by breaking through the male cordons of the British establishment she has made sure that never again can a woman?s ability to run a democratic country be questioned just because she is a w oman.

1.It can be seen from the passage that Madonna?s influence is _________.

A.more and more increasing

B.still great in society

C.becoming less and less

D.disappearing as time goes by

2.Most of Madonna?s fans are young women because _________.

B.she sells a book of pin-up pictures of herself

3.It is indicated in the passage that Margaret Thatcher __________.

A.became successful because she was the only stateswoman among statesmen.

B.Thinks male British leaders should have done more to help women

C.Thinks her success has nothing to do with the women?s movement

D.Has donated a large sum of money to the women?s movement

4.The example of Margaret Thatcher shows that __________.

A.everyone should support the women?s movement

B.women should learn to work together with men

D.women should not seek to be sexual only

5.The main idea of the passage is __________.

A.women have gathered strength from the women?s movement

B.women have achieved a new-found power

C.women should take careers to realize their power

D.women?s role should be in the home

(C)

Baldness, the absence of hair on the head, has been divided into five main types by those who study this affliction of human beings. A general thinning of the hair is called partial baldness and an absence of hair in areas usually covered by hair is labeled area baldness. A thinning of the hair which occurs in persons after about fifty years of age is called senile baldness. In this form of partial baldness, the hairline tends to recede, and there is a gradual thinning of the hair over the whole head. Parts of the head, such as the top, may grow completely bald.

Young people may experience what is called premature baldness. And when certain areas of the head become bald while hair over the rest of the scalp continues to grow at a normal rate, the condition is called pattern baldness.

Despite all the research that has been done on the subject, the specific causes of baldness are still unknown. Experts believe that heredity, aging, hormone imbalance and infection have an effect on the loss of hair. The most widespread cause of baldness is heredity, but it affects female members of a family less than males. The women of a bald family are more apt to retain their hair than the men. The females, however, pass on an inherited tendency toward baldness to their male offspring.

Besides the possible cause mentioned above, baldness may result from such infections and diseases as ringworm, dermatitis, typhoid fever and scarlet fever. This type of baldness is usually not permanent, however. Hygiene has been found to be an important factor in baldness. An important cleaning of the scalp may accelerate baldness, while the stimulation from cleansing and brushing helps to delay it.

1.__________ does not occur among the aged.

A. Partial baldness

B. Premature baldness

C. Senile baldness

D. Area baldness

2.The word “affliction” in the first sentence can be best replaced by _________.

A. condition

B. likeness

C. suffering

D. existence

3.When certain parts of the head are bald and the hair elsewhere on the scapl grows normally, the condition is

__________.

A. known as senile baldness

B. named premature baldness

C. called pattern baldness

D. labeled partial baldness

4.When here is an inherited tendency toward baldness in a family, the females _______.

A. convey this tendency to their sons

B. are as susceptible to baldness as the males

C. invariably show evidence of baldness

D. rarely, if ever, lose much of their hair

5.Baldness caused by certain fevers is __________.

A. normally temporary in nature

B. quite like hereditary baldness

C. the result of poor hygiene

D. a kind of area baldness

(D)

The “standard of living” of any country means the average person?s share of the goods and services which the country produces. A country?s standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. “Wealth” in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: “goods” such as food and clothing, and “services” such as transport and entertainmen t.

A country?s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extend upon a country?s natural resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favorable

one of the wealthiest regions of the world because she has vast natural resources within her borders, her soil is fertile, and her climate is varied. The Sahara Desert, on the other hand, is one of the least wealthy.

Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well off as U.S.A. in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external wars, and for this and other reasons was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country?s people. Ol d countries that have, through many centuries, trained up numerous skilled craftsmen ad technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled. Wealth also produces wealth. As a country becomes wealthier, its people have a large margin for saving, and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their workings day.

1.A country?s wealth depends on __________.

A. its money

B. its standard of living

C. its ability to provide transport and entertainment

D. its ability to provide goods and services

2.The word “civil” in the second sentence of the second paragraph probably means ____.

A. short and frequent

B. long-lasting

C. between one part of a country and another

D. for the most part

3.The main idea of the second paragraph is that __________.

A.the Sahara Desert is a very poor region

B.a country?s wealth depends on many factors

C.natural resources are an important factor in the wealth or poverty of a country

D.the U.S.A. is one of the wealthiest countries in the world

4.The second sentence in paragraph 3 is ____________.

A.not related to the paragraph

B.the main idea of the paragraph

C.the conclusion of the paragraph

D.an example supporting the main idea of the paragraph

5.How many advantages are mentioned in the third paragraph?

A. Two

B. Three

C. Four

D. Five

Some plays are so successful that they run for years on end. In many ways, this is36for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the sane37night after night. One would

I must get my 53”With this, he hurried off the stage.

II.Reading Comprehension

(A)

Between about 1910 and 1930, new artistic movements in European art were making themselves felt in the United States. American artists became acquainted with the new art on their trips to Paris and at the exhibitions in the famous New York gallery “291”( na med after its address on Fifth Avenue) of the photographer Alfred Stieglitz. But most important in the spread of the modern movements in the United States was the sensational Armory Show of the 1913 held in New York, in which the works of many of the leading European artists were seen along with the works of a number of progressive American painters.

Several of the American modernists who were influenced by the Armory Show found the urban landscape, especially New York, an appealing subject. Compared with the works of the realist painters, the works of American modernists were much further removed from the actual appearance of the city; they were more interested in the “feel “ of the city, more concerned with the meaning behind appearance. However, both the painters of the Ash Can School” and the later realists were still tied to nineteenth-century or earlier styles, while the early modernists shared in the international breakthroughs of the art of the twentieth century.

The greatest of these breakthroughs was Cubism, developed most fully in France between 1907 and 1914, which brought about a major revolution in Western painting. It overturned the regional tradition that had been built upon since the Renaissance. In cubism, natural forms were broken down analytically into geometric shapes. No longer was a clear differentiation made between the figure and the background of a painting: the objects represented and the surface on which they were painted became one. The Cubists abandoned the conventional single vantage point of the viewer, and objects depicted from multiple viewpoints were shown at the same way.

3.What was exhibited on the sensational Armory Show of 1913 in New York?

A.Works of many leading European artists as well as works of many progressive American painters.

B.Works of all the European artists and American painters.

C.Works of a number of American modernists and painters of the “Ash Can School”.

A few days ago I asked my sons? governess（女家庭教师）Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia, ”I said, “Let?s settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you?re too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month...”

“Forty.”

“Two months and five days.”

“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sund ays... you know you didn?t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays... ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but - not a word.

“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and th ere were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off ... that leaves. hmm.... forty one dollars. Correct？”

Julia?s left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but - still not a word.

“Around New Year?s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but- forget it. When didn?t I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect （疏忽）, Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick?s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that mean s five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”

“You didn?t. ”sobbed Julia.

“But I made a note of it.”

“Well... if you say so.”

“Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”

Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!

“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”

“Really? You see now, and I didn?t know that! Take three from fourteen.. leaves eleven. Here?s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !”

I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.

“Merci （法语: 谢谢）,”she whispered.

I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this - …merci??” I asked.

“For the money. ”

“But you know I?ve cheated you - robbed you ! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this…merci?？”

“In my other places they didn?t give me anything at all.”

“They didn?t gi ve you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you... I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it really possible to be so spineless （懦弱）?Why didn?t you pr otest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）—to be such a fool?”

Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,“It is possible.”

I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little“merci”several times and went out. I looked after her and thought,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !”

Animals other than humans have not developed communications comparable to human language. But is it possible that other animals have the capacity to learn a language if they are adequately taught? Obviously, this is a fascination notion. The idea of communicating directly wit h another species has long been a part of human folklore and children?s fantasies. But on a scientific level, the question of whether animals can learn a language is important primarily because it relates to the controversy()between the cognitive and the learning approaches to language. If language is dependent on and is actually an outgrowth of the intellectual structure of the human mind, there is the strong supposition that only humans are capable of using language. Therefore, Noam Chomsky and other psycholinguists have argued that only humans can learn a language, while most behaviorists feel that with sufficient patience it should be possible to teach an animal some sort of language. Although the two schools of thought clearly differ on this point, it is not really a crucial test of the two theories. If a chimpanzee can master a simple language all it would mean is that the chimp?s intellectual capacity and brain structure are more similar to ours than we thought. It would not necessarily imply that our intellectual structure is unimportant in our own mastery of language. Thus, teaching an animal language is an impressive demonstration of the power of learning techniques, but it is not evidence that language is developed entirely through learning.

On the other hand, the question of whether other animals can learn a language is fascination in its own right, aside from its value as a test of the two theories of language development. Accordingly, whatever one?s position on the theoretical dispute, we must consider training an animal to use language a dramatic accomplishment.

1.Which of the following statements is the view of psycholinguists?

A.The cognitive view of language learning says that only human beings can learn language because it is an

outgrowth of the structure of the human mind.

B.Other animals simply could master a language.

Increasingly , over the past ten years, people ---especially young people --- have become aware of the need to

Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.

Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount but not the quality of foods grown in commercial farming areas.

Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.

There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a nonessential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food it this necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be additive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber.

It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating”.

1.Which statement best expresses the main idea of this article?

A.People should eat any food to keep themselves healthy and strong.

B.People should eat natural foods to keep themselves healthy and strong.

C.People should eat fiber foods to keep themselves healthy and strong.

D.People should eat vegetables to keep themselves healthy and strong.

2.“Particularly processed foods” means ___________.

A.foods good for health

B.foods not good for health

C.foods such as vegetables, fruit and grain from rich organic matters soil

D.crops from rich organic matters soil and meats of animals from health pastures

4. There are no vitamins, no minerals and no fibers in _________.

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country?s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tou rism affects them. Tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.

Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country?s economy can suffer.

On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first- class roads, and other support facilities（配套设施）needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.

Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists , jobs and money are lost.

1．Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection？

A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.

B. Building roads and hotels is essential.

C. Support facilities are highly necessary.

D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.

B. a change of tourists? customs

C. over - crowdedness of places of interest

D. pressure on traffic

4．It can be inferred from the text that ________ .

A. the author doesn?t like tourism developing so fast

B. local people will benefit from tourist attraction

C. other parts of a country?s economy won?t benefit from tourism much

5．The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will ________ .

A. waste a lot of money

B. weaken their economy

C. help establish their customs

Cultural differences largely determine differences in the way the elderly are treated by others. In the Oriental, Middle Eastern, African, and American Indian cultures, for example, young men are expected to be aggressive and strive for success in the real world, while old men devote themselves to the supernatural, old men were usually venerated() in preliterate societies, often becoming chiefs. Women in many societies followed the opposite pattern, moving from passivity to greater assertiveness with advancing age.

Long life and experience make elderly people a valued source of knowledge in some cultures, but in technologically advanced societies the rising number of elderly has decreased their “scarcity value”. At the same time, their children and grandchildren have increasingly turned to mass communications media, schools, and libraries as superior sources of information. This has resulted in diminishing the prestige of the aged. The increasing proportion of elderly people in many countries will have a widespread impact on society. Growing demands on financial, welfare, medical, recreational, and environmental resources and large number of nonworking individuals dependent on the working population will necessitate many changes in social systems.

In science the meaning of the word “explain” suffers with civilization?s every step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism, and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first speculated on the electrification of amber. Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces”really” are. “Electricity”, Bertrand Russell says, “ is not a thing, like St. Paul?s Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell.” Until recently scientists would have disapproved to such an idea.

Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousand years, believed that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning from self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has the ground because that?s where it belongs. The go al of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific

11. The aim of the controlled experiment is ___________.

A.disapproved of by most modern scientists

B.in agreement wi th Aristotle?s theory of self-evident principles

C.disagreed by Galileo?s theory

D.supported by scientific investigation directed toward “how”things happen

14.The passage says that until recently scientists disagreed with the idea that _________.

A.man can?t discover what forces “really” are

B.there are mysterious forces in the universe

C.there are self-evident principles

D.we can discover why things behave as they do

We are all familiar with magnets. The Chinese knew about them in the eleventh century. But the earth itself is also a magnet, with a magnetic North and a magnetic South.

No one really understands very much about the earth?s magnetism, although many people have written about it. Scientists believe the center of the earth is like an enormous magnet, giving out a steady magnetic force. This slowly moves away from the center and up to the surface. By the time it reaches the surface the force is really very weak.

Magnetism is measured by a unit called the gauss. The earth?s magnetic force is muc h weaker. It measures about 0.7 gauss at the North and South Poles. The weakest point is near Rio de Janeiro at 0.3 gauss.

Many scientists now believe the magnetism of the earth may have a strong influence on life itself. In the distant past many kinds of animals and plants died out suddenly, when the North and South magnetic Poles changed position.

Animals, birds and even people are to some extent controlled by magnetic forces. When there is a sudden increase in magnetic strength, many animals have difficulty finding their way. Mice ,placed near a strong magnet, lose their hair and die early. And when the earth?s magnetism suddenly decreases, the number of men or women who kill themselves increases.

How much does the earth?s magnetism control our lives? We can not know for certain. We do know this magnetism is getting weaker and we know that in 2500 years the magnetic poles may change position again. And we know when this happened in the past there were enormous changes in life on Earth.

16. Which one of the following statements is true?

A.The earth is a magnet with many magnetic poles.

B.The earth has a very feeble magnet.

C.The Chinese knew about magnets as far back as eleven centuries ago.

D.It?s not clear whether the earth?s magnet has any impact on its beings.

17. What is true about the center of the earth?

A.Science has proved that the center of the earth is an enormous magnet.

B.The center of the earth gives out a very weak magnetic force.

C.The center of the earth has the strongest magnetic force than elsewhere.

D.The magnetic force at the center of the earth is unstable.

18. According to the passage, what will happen if the magnetic force of the earth increase suddenly?

A.Doves will not be able to find their way back.

B.People will commit suicide.

19.According to the passage, the magnetic force of the earth _________.

A.is controlling more and more people

B.is disappearing little by little

C.is becoming weaker and weaker

D.is hard to predict

20. What does the author imply in the last sentence of the passage?

A.There will be great changes in life in the future.

II. Reading Comprehension

When John Milton, writer of“Paradise Lost”, e ntered Cambridge University, in 1625, he was already skilled in Latin after seven years of studying it as his second language at St. Paul?s School, London. Like all English boys who prepared for college in grammar schools, he had learned not only to read Latin but also to speak and write it smoothly and correctly. His pronunciation of Latin was English, however, and seemed to have sounded strange to his friends when he later visited Italy.

They first made a word -for -word translation and then an idiomatic translation into English. As they increased their skill, they translated their English back into Latin without referring to the book and then compared their translation with the original. The schoolmaster was always at hand to encourage them. All schoolmasters believed Latin should be beaten in.

After several years of study, the boys began to write compositions in imitation of the Latin writers they read. And as they began to read Latin poems, they began to write poems in Latin. Because Milton was already a poet at ten, his poems were much better than those painfully put together by the other boys. During the seven years Milton spent at university, he made regular use of his command of Latin. He wrote some excellent Latin poems, which he published among his works in 1645.

1．What does the passage mainly tell about?

A. How John Milton wrote“ Paradise Lost”.

B. How John Milton studied Latin.

C. How John Milton became famous.

D. How John Milton became a poet.

2．Which of the following is true of John Milton?s pronunc iation of Latin?

A. It has a strong Italian accent.

B. It has an uncommon accent.

C. It was natural and easy to understand.

D. It was bad and difficult to understand.

3．It can be inferred from the passage that________.

A. Milton?s training in L atin was similar to that of the other boys

B. Milton hadn?t learned any foreign language except Latin before going to college

C. Milton?s Italian friends helped him with Latin when talking

D. Milton's classmates learned Latin harder but worse than Milton

4．Which of the following is suggested in the passage?

A. The schoolmaster mainly helped those who were bad at Latin.

B. The schoolmaster usually stood beside the schoolboys with a stick in his hand.

C. The schoolboys could repeat Latin grammar rules from memory.

D. Some of the schoolboys were quick at writing compositions in Latin.

5．What is the meaning of the underlined part“ Latin should be beaten in”that the writer wishes you to understand?

A. Schoolboys should be punished if they were lazy to learn Latin.

B. Schoolboys should be encouraged if they had difficulty in learning Latin.

C. Schoolboys were expected to master Latin in a short time.

D. Schoolboys had to study Latin in a hard way.

The way people hold to the belief that a fun - filled, pain free 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 than 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 pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment （预担的义务）, self - improvement.

Ask a bachelor（单身汉）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 quite painful. 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 a three - day 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.
