I think I want to live without money because I hate it. I HATE MONEY. We were all touched by Marias words as they reminded us of the spiritual burdens that money managing can bring to us. After class I offered to help Maria deal with her financial problems. She hesitated to accept my offer, and I could see from the expression on her face that she was afraid of what it might involve. I quickly promised her that I wouldnt make her do more than she was able to. I told her frankly that I didnt enjoy managing my money any more than she did hers and wouldnt burden her with guilt, judgments, or impossible tasks. All I would ask her to do was to let me help her look at her fears and try to make some sense of them.Maria still resisted my offer, and I can remember the excuses she gave me as they were the repeated complaints I had heard from so many people. I11 never understand money, she said. My facts are meaningless. I dont deserve to have money. I never have enough, I have too little to manage. My financial position isnt worth looking at. and the most devastating one of all, I just cant do it.Going home that day, I couldnt get Maria out of my mind: Her attitude conveyed the same negativity and fear that I believed annoyed many people. I was sure it was this attitude that prevented people from managing their money effectively. My counseling (咨询) has taught me that these anxieties are inseparably connected to our self-doubts and fear for survival. Many of us are terrified of handling our money because we dont believe we can do it well, and to do it wrong would put our very existence at risk.On a deeper level we know that money is not the source of life, but sense of worth drives us to act as if it were. It locks us up in self-doubts and prevents us from tapping into the true source of our management power, our spirit.41. The underlined word devastating in paragraph 2 probably means .A. convincing B. interesting C. shocking D. valuable42. Marias words moved the author and others because they were .A. in the same financial trouble B. in the same financial conditionC. of the same family background D. of the same feeling over the issue43. As for money managing, the author intended to tell Maria how to .A. overcome her fears B. make wise decisionsC. avoid making mistakes D. learn the necessary skills44. Maria wouldnt take the authors offer of help for fear of _.A. being forced to share her money with others B. having to do something beyond her reachC. being found guilty of making impossible errors D. showing her judgment about money45. According to the author, peoples anxieties about managing money result from their understanding of money as the only source of _.A. life B. values C. spirit D. powerBFor thousands of years, people have been debating the meaning of happiness and how to find it. From the ancient Greeks and Romans to current day writers and professors, the debate about happiness continues. What makes someone happy? In what parts of the world are people the happiest? Why even study happiness? The Greek philosopher Aristotle said that a persons highest happiness comes from the use of his or her intelligence. Religious books such as the Koran and Bible discuss faith as a form of happiness. The British scientist Charles Darwin believed that all species were formed in a way so as to enjoy happiness. People throughout history may have had different ideas about happiness. But today, many people are still searching for its meaning.How do you study something like happiness? You could start with the World Database of Happiness at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. This set of information includes how to define and measure happiness. Some findings are not surprising. For example, the database suggests that married people are happier than single people. People who like to be with other people are happier than unsocial people. But other findings are less expected: People with children are equally happy as couples without children. And wealthier people are only a little happier than poorer people.Positive psychology is the new term for a method of scientific study that tries to examine the things that make life worth living instead of lifes problems. Traditional psychology generally studies negative situations like mental suffering and sickness. But positive psychology aims to study the strengths that allow people and communities to do well. There is also an increasing amount of medical research on the physical qualities of happiness. Doctors can now look at happiness at work in a persons brain using a method called magnetic resonance imaging (核磁共振成像), or MRI. For example, an MRI can show how one area of a persons brain activates when he or she is shown happy pictures. A different area of the brain becomes active when the person sees pictures of terrible subjects.46. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A. People are searching for the meaning of happiness.B. Happiness is an everlasting topic for discussion.C. Current day scholars are debating about how to make people happy.D. People have begun to realize the importance of understanding happiness.47. The Bible tells us happiness comes from _.A. the application of ones intelligence B. the strong belief in religionC. a certain degree of good faith D. the trust in ones ability48. The findings of the database imply that couples without children are _.A. as happy as people with children B. less happy than people with childrenC. happier than unsocial people D. a little happier than wealthier people49. As an approach of scientific study, positive psychology focuses on _.A. mental suffering B. psychological sicknessC. examining what makes life worth living D. strengths that enable people to succeed50. MRI is used in the study of happiness in order to _.A. find out the physical quantities of happiness B. look at the images formed in peoples brainC. study the reaction of the brain to happiness D. understand the pictures of terrible subjectsCClimatic conditions are delicately adjusted to composition of the Earths atmosphere. If there were a change in the atmosphere for example, in the relative amounts of atmospheric gases the climate would probably change also. A slight increase in water vapor (蒸汽) , for example, would increase the heat-keeping capacity of the atmosphere and would lead to a rise in global temperatures.The level of carbon dioxide, CO2, in the atmosphere has an important effect on climatic change. Most of the Earths incoming energy is short-wavelength radiation (短波辐射) , which tends to pass through atmospheric CO2 easily. The Earth, however, reradiates much of the received energy as long-wavelength radiation (长波辐射), which CO2 absorbs and then goes toward the Earth. This phenomenon, known as the greenhouse effect, can result in an increase in the surface temperature of a planet. An extreme example of the effect is shown by Venus, a planet covered by heavy clouds composed mostly of CO2, whose surface temperatures have been measured at 430C.If the CO2 content of the atmosphere is reduced, the temperature falls. According to one respectable theory, if the atmospheric CO2 concentration were halved, the Earth would become completely covered with ice. Another equally respectable theory, however, states that a halving of the CO2 concentration would lead only to a reduction in global temperatures of 3.If, because of an increase in forest fires or volcanic activity, the CO2 content of the atmosphere increased, a warmer climate would be produced. Plant growth, which relied on both the warmth and the availability of CO2, would probably increase. As a consequence, plant would use more and more CO2. Eventually CO2 levels would decrease and the climate, in turn, would become cooler. With reduced temperatures many plants would die; CO2 would thus be returned to the atmosphere and gradually the temperature would rise again. Thus, if this process occurred, there might be a long-term oscillation (波动) in the amount of CO2 present in the atmosphere, with regular temperature increase and decrease.Some climatologists argue that the burning of fossil fuels has raised the level of CO2 in the atmosphere and has caused a global temperature increase of at least 1. But a supposed global temperature rise of 1 may in reality be only several regional temperature increases, restricted to areas where there are many meteorological (气象的) stations. Other areas, for example, the Southern Hemisphere oceanic zone, may be experiencing an equal temperature decrease that is unrecognized because of the shortage of meteorological recording stations.51. Which of the following questions does the information supplied in this passage try to answer?A. What are the steps in the process that takes place as CO2 absorbs long-wavelength radiation?B. How might our understanding of the greenhouse effect be improved if the burning of fossil were decreased?C. What might cause a series of regular increases and decreases in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere?D. Why are there fewer meteorological recording stations in the Southern Hemisphere oceanic zone than atmosphere?52. The author is primarily concerned with _.A. explaining the effects that the burning of fossil fuels might have on climateB. explaining the effects of CO2 on atmospheric radiationC. discussing effects that changes in the CO2 level in the atmosphere might have on climateD. challenging hypotheses (假说) about the effects of water vapor and CO2 on climate53. The passage suggests that a large decrease in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would result in _.A. at least a slight decrease in global temperaturesB. at the most a slight increase in short-wavelength radiation reaching the EarthC. a slight long-term increase in global temperaturesD. a slight short-term increase in atmosphere water vapor content54. The author refers to Venus primarily in order to _.A. show that the greenhouse effect works on other planets but not on EarthB. show the degree to which Earths atmosphere differs from that of VenusC. support the opinion that as water vapor increases, the amount of CO2 increasesD. support the argument that the CO2 level in the atmosphere has a significant effect on climate55. The discussion of climate in the passage suggests that _.A. climate is perfectly stableB. we are un
