would be kept a secret for now, and maybe forever.he is the unknown shooter. the nameless, faceless triggerman who put a bullet in the head of the worlds most notorious（臭名昭著的）terrorist, bin laden.hes likely between the ages of 26 and 33, says marcinko, founder of the “seals team 6” that many believe led the attack on bin laden in abbottabad, pakistan. hell be old enough to have had time to hurdle the extra training tests required to join the counter-terrorism unit, yet young enough to stand the body-punishing harshness of the job. the shooters a man, its safe to say, because there are no women in the seals. and theres a good chance hes white, though the seals have stepped up efforts to increase the number of minorities in their ranks, marcinko and smith say.he was probably a high school or college athlete, smith says, a physical specimen who combines strength, speed and wisdom. “they call themselves tactical athletes, “ says smith, who works with many future seals in his heroes of tomorrow training program in severna park. “its getting very scientific.”marcinko puts it in more conventional terms: “hell be ripped,” says the author of the best-selling autobiography “rogue warrior.” “hes got a lot of upper-body strength. long arms. thin waist. flat stomach.”on this point, greitens departs a bit. “you cant make a lot of physical assumptions,” says the author of “the heart and the fist: the education of a humanitarian, the making of a navy seal.” there are seals who are 5 feet 4 and seals who are 6 feet 5, greitens says. in his training group, he adds, there were college football boys who couldnt hack it; those who survived were most often men in good shape, but they also had a willingness to show their concerns in favor of the mission.the shooters probably not the crew-cut（平头）, neatly shaven ideal weve come to expect from american fighting forces. “hes bearded, rough-looking, like a street naughty boy,” marcinko supposes. “you dont want to stick out.” marcinko calls it “modified grooming standards.”his hands will be calloused（长老茧）, smith says, or just rough enough,” as marcinko puts it. and “hes got frag in him somewhere,” marcinko says, using the battlefield shorthand for “fragments” of bullets or explosive devices. this will not have been the shooters first adventure. marcinko estimates that he might have made a dozen or more deployments（部署）, tours when he was likely to have dealt with quite a number of dangerous situations, getting ready any time for explosive devices or bullets.1. which of the following is most likely to be the title of

although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. this arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.people who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. they enjoy all the cheerful things. those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. by their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. if this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. the intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation (模仿). it grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. the habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. i hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. this frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. if they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. if they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. these should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. if they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.63. people who are unhappy _.a. always consider things differently from othersb. usually are affected by the results of certain thingsc. usually misunderstand what others think or sayd. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things64. we can conclude from the passage that _.a. we should pity all such unhappy peopleb. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifec. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessd. unhappy people can not understand happy persons65. if such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _.a. prevent any communication with themb. show no respect and politeness to themc. persuade them to recognize the bad effectsd. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes66. in this passage, the writer mainly _.a. describes two types of peopleb. laughs at the unhappy peoplec. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappinessd. tells people how to be happy in life63. d. 细节理解题。由第二段第3句可以看出另一些人感到不幸福的原因。64. c. 细节判断题。由第二段倒数第2句可以判断出人们可以改变不幸福的脾性。65. a. 细节判断题。由第三段倒数第2句可以看出作者的想法。66. c. 主旨大意题。本文主要讲的是那些感觉不幸福的人处处冒犯别人，若长期以往，则只能处于被孤立的境地，所以他们应改变自己的习惯。阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a,b,c或d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。rae armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the university of california san diego(ucsd)for two decades, has won the 2010 pulitzer prize in the poetry category for her most recent book, “versed”. im delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the
