Each passage is followed by 5 questions. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice. Passage 1In recent years, large numbers of people are living the single life, at least temporarily, for this reason or other. However, they are often pressured to marry by their families and friends, who regard single adults as irresponsible and unfortunate. Rose and Bill talk about the frustrations and disagreements. Rose has quarreled with her family. Her parents continually ask her why she doesnt get married and have been putting pressure on Rose to find a husband. This makes Rose angry. Bill understands how Rose feels. He has also been upset about how his friends react to his single life. His female friends usually find him dates even if he doesnt want them. They introduce him to new people as the eligible bachelor. Sometimes Rose and Bill feel they might be better off financially if they each found a marriage partner. They know that two people living together and earning two salaries can afford more than a single person can. They also know about the income tax advantages that married couples enjoy. However, for the moment, each of them is committed to remaining single. Young people feel many pressures not to get married. Rose has a very good job at the bank and there is a possibility of a promotion in the near future. A promotion means a higher salary and more responsibility. She questions whether she can combine success in business with marriage. How can she fully and completely take care of a wifes duties while she can also succeed brilliantly in her office? Both demand a great amount of time and work. Bill, too, is hesitant about getting married because of his active social life. He has many friends and is out with one of them almost every night. How can he ever settle down and stay home with one person? Will he lose his friends? At this point Rose and Bill are each trying to settle the questions of whether to get married or stay single. After all, marriage means responsibility. Both Rose and Bill know they will reach a decision without being pressured.1) Single adults are often pressured to marry by _.A. the societyB. the lawC. the married peopleD. their families and friends2) Rose is frustrated by her familys _.

Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier. The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future-for example, getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy lifes simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives. Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elder person, or simple help out around the house by washing the dishes.6) The best title of the passage is _.A.
