the help of his fatherdthe author doesnt think his father should be so strict with him51paragraph 3 suggests that the author s father_awouldnt give up hope easilybbelieved his son was a normal childcblamed the doctors for his son s disabilitydcouldnt accept the truth that his son was disabled52the author wrote the passage to _aremember his fatherbencourage disabled childrencshow the difficulty the disabled facedgive advice to the parents of disabled childrenci live in the land of disney, hollywood and year - round sunyou may think people , such an attractive, fun - filled place are happier than othersif so you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happinessmany intelligent people still think fun equals happinessthe truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in commonfun is what we experience during an acthappiness is what we experience after an actit is a deep, long-lasting emotiongoing 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 laughbut they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun endsi have often thought that if hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with funthey have constant access to exciting parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells happiness but in memoir（回忆录） after memoir, they expose ac unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages and lonelinessask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfyingif he is honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitmentfor commitment is in fact quite painfulthe single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitementman-iage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing featuressimilarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happinessthey can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they wantcouples with babies are lucky to get a whole night s sleepi dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising childrenunderstanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come toit liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can truly increase our happinessit liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointlessand 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 all53what is the passage mainly about?afun and happinessbsuccess and satisfactioncmarriage and commitmentdentertainment and responsibility54the author probably agrees that _afun creates long - lasting satisfactionblong - standing fun may lead to happinesscfun is short-lived while happiness is long-lastingdfun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness55what does the author think of marriage?ait ends in pain bit means commitmentcit affords greater fun dit leads to raising children56if one gets the real meaning of happiness, he _awill start a business b won t place too much value on moneycwill seek for freedom dwont devote himself to his familydtime and how we experience it have always puzzled usphysicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum （钟摆） and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendaras some-one who understood the distinction observed, when you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hourspsychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we agethey also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to passfor example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beachsince most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured tune could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow olderexpectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidlyalmost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere weve never been beforesurrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when well arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long timebut the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less timethe novelty of the outward journey has become routinethus taking a different route on occasions can often help slow the clockwhen was become as identical as identical as beads（小珠子）on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single dayto counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your dayto stop time, so to speaklearning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of timeone of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discoveryfor many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesnt have to be57the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 is used to show apsychological time is quite puzzlingbtime should not be measured by a pendulumcphysical time is different from psychological timedphysical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time58why do units of time fly faster as we grow older?aour sense of time changesbwe spend less time at the beachcmore time is structured and scheduleddtime is structured with too many appointments59in paragraph 3 “novelty”
