句是对上一句的总结，说明努力奋斗是进步的证据，也是快乐人士的生活方式。4．选E本句为标题句，总结了本段的主要内容，即快乐人士会把钱花在积累经验上，而不是物质享受上。下文的experiences也是提示。5．选B本句承上启下，引出下面的例子说明快乐人士乐于付出。Passage4本文是一篇说明文。对新手家长来说，带着孩子去旅游是一件很可怕的事情。诸如你需要有很强的责任感，在旅途中的任何时刻旅行费用可能出乎意料之类的很多事情需要考虑。本文就此给出了一些建议。1．选E依据下文的“manyparentssometimeslosetheirkids”可知，该空应该是造成家长丢失孩子的原因，又联系下文中的“Populartouristdesti
