There第三部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)A“Mom, can I bake some bread?” We were 15, my best friend, Hanna, and I, determined to try our hands at creating some beautiful bread.“Its not worth the trouble,” my mother said. “It takes lots of time and makes a big mess. Our bakery bread is delicious without all that effort.”Begging was useless. Moms “no” meant “No!”But several weeks later, opportunity knocked: My parents were going out for the evening. I immediately invited Hanna to be my partner in bread-baking crime.We studied the recipe. That was easy. “Mix oil into flour, then beat in four of the eggs, one at a time, with remaining sugar and salt.”We were not good at breaking eggs. I tried to learn from my mother. “Gradually add eight cups of flour. When dough (面团) holds together, squeeze it.”We took turns working like that. “Is the dough holding together?” we asked each other. I remembered my neighbors instructions: “If its too sticky, add some flour; if too dry, add water.”We added water. Then more flour. Then more water. By then, the mass of our dough had grown very much.“Place dough on floured surface and squeeze till smooth,” the recipe instructed. We took turns burying our hands in the damp dough, pinching, squeezing, and feeling it leak between fingers. “Clean and oil bowl, then return dough to bowl. Cover and let dough rise in warm place for 1 hour.”This was good news - wed have a break. On dirtied kitchen chairs, we dreamed about our beautiful bread. “See?” we would tell my mom. “Isnt it worth the work?” Hanna and I couldnt help glancing at the rising process every few minutes. But nothing was happening. “Maybe something will happen in the hot oven,” I said.Unfortunately, when we removed the loaves from the oven, they were like hard stones.Mom was right; it takes time and effort. Since that night, both Hanna and I have learned to do it right. It sometimes makes a mess. But still it feels good, somehow, to be part of that long, ongoing chain of bread bakers.56.

But are we any happier?Various surveys attempt to answer this question. Though experts have presented varying percentages based on different standards, their answers tend to find we are generally happier, and the number of optimists rises each year. The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences 2006 Blue Book on social progress says 70 per cent of rural and urban citizens surveyed in 2005 reported a feeling of happiness and were optimistic about their futures. But each survey shows a worrisome fact that 10 percent, at the lowest, of citizens were not content with their lives or not hopeful about the future. We cannot be content with the fact that at least 130 million of our countrymen are not happy. Although a sense of happiness remains a luxury（奢望）for many of our countrymen because of poverty, we agree wealth is not the only factor of happiness. For most of us, except the extremely rich and naturally born optimists, there simply are too many variables (可变物) that may kill the feeling of happiness. These include, but are not limited to, rising housing prices, tight and instable job market, back-breaking schooling expenses and medical bills.The most common one, however, is a low sense of security (安全). Some experts pointed that in the low-and-middle income group there was too much uncertainty regarding employment, income, housing, medical situations, and education. How can you feel happy when you always have to prepare yourself for the unexpected?It may be beyond the governments reach, not to mention duty, to guarantee (保证) higher income for every citizen. But it does have a burden to create an environment where all citizens can feel a reasonable level of security.64. From the second paragraph we learn _. A. 70 % of Chinese people feel happy and optimistic about their future B. the data and the conclusions of the surveys are the same C. the surveys about the sense of happiness were carried out in 2006 D. the purpose of the surveys is to find out the percentage of rich people65. The following factors of happiness are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _. A. security B. environmentC. wealth D. employment66. The underlined word “countrymen” in Paragraph 3 refers to _. A. people from the countrysideB. people from cities C. people from all countriesD. Chinese citizens67. According to the passage, the author tends to hold the view that _. A. the wealthier we get, the happier we become B. though we get wealthier, we do not feel happier C. it is the governments duty to raise every citizens income D. the government should make sure all citizens feel a good level of securityDTesting has taken the place of teaching in most public schools. Pretests, drills, tests, and retests. They know that the best way to read a textbook is to look at the questions at the end of the chapter and then read the text quickly for the answers. I believe that my daughter Erica, who gets excellent marks, has never read a chapter of any of her school textbooks all the way through. And teachers are often heard to say proudly and openly that they teach to the test. Teaching to the test is a curious phenomenon (现象). Instead of deciding what skills students ought to learn, helping students learn them, and then using some methods of assessment (评价) to discover whether students have mastered the skills, teachers are encouraged to teach the students in the opposite way. First one looks at a test. Then one chooses the skills needed not to master reading, but to do well in the test. Finally, the test skills are taught. The ability to read or write might suggest the ability to do reasonably well on standardized tests. However, neither reading nor writing develops simply through being taught to take tests. We must be careful to avoid mistaking preparations for a test of a skill with the acquisition (习得) of that skill. Too many discussions of basic skills make this misunderstanding because people are tested rather than concerned with the nature and quality of what is taug
