advises us to buy her book on dewey c i always avoid going on field investigations with the toxics (毒物)team, unless its absolutely necessary. its not that i mind the hard work, or am afraid of coming into contact with toxic substances. what i fear is quickly losing hope about the work i do. however, doing field research with the toxics team, all i see and feel is filthnothing else. even if i close my eyes, i can smell the smell of food processing, rotting organic waste from paper mills and chemicals from clothing manufacturers. one morning, i went to investigate a discharged pipe to document and collect samples of pollutants secretly being emitted by a textile mill. i had to work with the utmost secrecy in order to avoid being discovered by the textile mill. i dipped a long measuring pole into the large polluting pipe to measure the volume of polluted water being emitted. but the surface of the water, covered in oil and filth, made me feel as if to vomit. all of a sudden, i felt someone hit me on my back. it frightened me so much that i almost fell into the water. i grasped the pole and looked behind me to see an old man standing there. he asked: “can you catch fish here?” i realized that he thought i was holding a fishing pole, so i kept calm and said: “yes, i heard that theres a kind of small fish living in this water, and it has medicinal benefits.” the old man grew quite curious and replied: “that may be. if a fish can survive in water as dirty as this , it must have a lot of resistance. so it wouldnt be too strange if such fish had medicinal benefits.” it was clear he was just passing by, so i answered: “yeah, survival of the fittest. fish that adapt can survive, just like us humans.” he kept talking to me and didnt want to leave. he wanted to see whether or not i would catch the small fish with medicinal benefits.36. the text is mainly about . a. a research report about pollution b. an exciting experience of fishing c. an experience of doing research

watch over the writerdi live in the land of disney, hollywood and year-round sun. you may think people in such a splendid, fun-filled place are happier than others. if so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness. many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. the truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. fun is what we experience during an act. happiness is what we experience after an act. it is a deeper, more lasting emotion. going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. but they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends. i have often though that if hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. these rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. but in memoir（回忆录）after memoir, they reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism ,drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness. ask a bachelor why he resists marriage, if hes honest, and 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 and excitement. marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features. similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. they can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they can. couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three-day vacation. i dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating（解放性的）realizations. it liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. it liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. and it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.41. we can learn from the passage that . a. fun creates long-lasting satisfaction b. fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness c. happiness is lasting whereas fun is short-lived d. fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness42. to the author, the role hollywood stars play is to . a. write memoir after memoir about their happiness b. tell the public that happiness has nothing to do with fun c. teach people how to enjoy their lives d. bring happiness to the public instead of going to parties43. in the authors opinion, marriage . a. affords greater fun b. leads to raising children c. indicates duty and devotion d. usually ends up in pain44.which of the following is the best example of “painful happiness”? a. winning lottery by accident b. a bachelor resisting marriage c. raising children d. buying some fancy clothes45. if one gets the true sense of happiness, he will . a. stop playing games and joking with others b. keep himself with his family c. give a free hand to money d. use his time to increase happiness 第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。首先阅读下列某实习编辑从一组读者来信中整理出来的关键备忘信息：bhobbies:
