You may think people in such a glamorous, 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 abiding 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 thought 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 after memoir, celebrities 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 even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he’s honest, 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 ever they want and sleep as late as they want. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t 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 realizations we can ever come to. 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. 1.Which of the following is true? A.Fun creates long-lasting satisfaction. B.Fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness. C.Happiness is enduring whereas fun is short-lived. D.Fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness. 2.To the author, Hollywood stars all have an important role to play that is to __. memoir after memoir about their happiness. the public that happiness has nothing to do with fun. people how to enjoy their lives. happiness to the public instead of going to glamorous parties. 3.In the author’s opinion, marriage___. s greater fun. to raising children. tes commitment. in pain. 4.Couples having infant children___. lucky since they can have a whole night’s sleep. fun in tucking them into bed at night. more time to play and joke with them. happiness from their endeavor. 5.If one get the meaning of the true sense of happiness, he will__. playing games and joking with others. the best use of his time increasing happiness. a free hand to money. himself with his family. 參考答案:CBCDB 以上就是今天的學習內(nèi)容啦。大家要利用好最后一個月的時間多多練習,并且多進行??际煜た荚嚵鞒?。小編預祝大家順利通過英語六級~

Tiny amounts of some hormones can modify moods and actions, our inclination to eat or drink, our aggressiveness or submissiveness, and our reproductive and parental behavior. And hormones do more than influence adult behavior; early in life they help to determine the development of bodily form and may even determine an individual’s behavioral capacities. Later in life the changing outputs of some endocrine glands and the body’s changing sensitivity to some hormones are essential aspects of the phenomena of aging. Communication within the body and the consequent integration of behavior were considered the exclusive province of the nervous system up to the beginning of the present century. The emergence of endocrinology as a separate discipline can probably be traced to the experiments of Bayliss and Starling on the hormone secretion. This substance is secreted from cells in the intestinal walls when food enters the stomach; it travels through the bloodstream and stimulates the pancreas to liberate pancreatic juice, which aids in digestion. By showing that special cells secret chemical agents that are conveyed by the bloodstream and regulate distant target organs or tissues. Bayliss and starling demonstrated that chemical integration could occur without participation of the nervous system. The term “hormone” was first used with reference to secretion. Starling derived the term from the Greek hormone, meaning “to excite or set in motion. The term “endocrine” was introduced shortly thereafter “Endocrine” is used to refer to glands that secret products into the bloodstream. The term “endocrine” contrasts with “exocrine”, which is applied to glands that secret their products though ducts to the site of action. Examples of exocrine glands are the tear glands, the sweat glands, and the pancreas, which secrets pancreatic juice through a duct into the intestine. Exocrine glands are also called duct glands, while endocrine glands are called ductless. 1.What is the author’s main purpose in the passage? A.To explain the specific functions of various hormones. B.To provide general information about hormones. C.To explain how the term “hormone” evolved. D.To report on experiments in endocrinology. 2.The passage supports which of the following conclusions? A.The human body requires large amounts of most hormones. B.Synthetic hormones can replace a person’s natural supply of hormones if necessary. C.The quantity of hormones produced and their effects on the body are related to a person’s age. D.The short child of tall parents very likely had a hormone deficiency early in life. 3.It can be inferred from the passage that before the Bayliss and Starling experiments, most people believed that chemical integration occurred only___. sleep. the endocrine glands. control of the nervous system. strenuous exercise. 4.The word “l(fā)iberate” could best be replaced by which of the following? A.Emancipate B.Discharge C.Surrender D.Save 5.According to the passage another term for exocrine glands is___. glands ine glands ss glands inal glands. 答案:BDCBA 以上就是今天的六級閱讀模擬題,希望大家利用好最后的一個月認真?zhèn)淇?。祝大家能順利通過考試

The free tour takes the visitor through several centuries of painting, from the Victorian aesthetic h the PreRaphaelite school, to modern abstract an. Kim Gowland, a gallery executive. said: "Looking at art is a stress-relieving activity.

Mr. Loukes said: "We chose five pictures that suggest restfulness. We also wamed to display the breadth of the collection. We arc particularly strong in early-19th and early-20th-century British art." Their therapeutic powers have been endorsed by Olga Gregson and Terry Looker from the Department of Biological Sciences at Manchester Metropolitan University. Dr. Gregson said that "research shows that stress levels have reduced and moods changed for the better” when subjects looked at paintings. "Although art appreciation is very much a matter of personal choice, it is true that some works of art appeal to almost everyone, and that some paintings have qualities that can induce relaxation in most people."Dr. Gregson said. "Great painters such as Leonardo da Vinci were masters of techniques that could evoke particular responses in the viewer." Dr. Gregson said the gallery represented an "oasis of calm".

2024年12月英語六級閱讀理解模擬真題:大學專業(yè)選擇
理了2024年12月英語六級閱讀理解模擬真題:大學專業(yè)選擇,一起來看看吧。 2024年12月英語六級閱讀理解模擬真題:大學專業(yè)選擇 One of the bitterest and most time-worm debates in student union bars up and down the country is resolved as academic research confirms that in financial terms at least, arts degrees are a complete waste of time.Getting through university boosts students’earnings by 25%, on a weighted average, or $220,000 over theirlifetime, according to Professor Ian Walker of Warwick University-but if they study Shakespeare or the peasants’revolt instead of anatomy of contract law, those gains are likely to be completely wiped out. The government is about to allow universities to charge students up to $3,000 a year for their degrees, arguing that it’s a small price to pay compared with the financial rewards graduates reap later in life. But Prof. Walker’s research shows there are sharp variations in returns according to which subject a student takes. Law, medicine and economics or business are the most lucrative choices, making their average earnings 25% higher, according to the article, published in the office for national statistics’monthly journal. Scientists get 10-15% extra. At the bottom of the list are arts subjects, which make only a “small ”differenceto earnings- a small negative one, in fact. Just ahead are degrees in education-which leave hard pressed teachers anaverage of 5% better off a year than if they had left school at 18. “it’s hard to resist the conclusion that what students learn does matter a lot; and some subject areas givemore modest financial returns than others,” Prof. Walker said. As an economist, he was quick to point outthat students might gain non-financial returns from arts degrees:”Studying economics might be very dull, forexample, and studying post-modernism might be a lot of fun.” 練習題: Choose correct answers to the question: 1.What is the best title for the passage? A.Professor Walker’s Research B.How to Make Big Money. C.Differences Between Science and Arts Degrees. D.Studying Arts Has Negative Financial Outcome. 2.Universities charge students a rather high tuition mainly because_____ provide the students with very prosperous subjects to learn assume that their graduates can earn much more than they had paid don’t get financial support from the government need much revenue to support the educational expenses 3.The word “l(fā)ucrative”(Line 1, Para. 4) most probably means _____ le ve able le 4.Law, medical and business graduates could earn 25% more than ______ ion graduates graduates who had not studied at the university average income 5.We can safely conclude that the author ______ s arts degrees as meaningless this result disappointing and unfair the students to think twice before they decide what to learn in college that arts degrees are still rewarding despite its scarce financial returns 1.[D]?主旨大意題。本文為Walker教授的研究成果,旨在說明不同專業(yè)的畢業(yè)生有不同的經(jīng)濟回報,并非要傳授發(fā)財心得或者比較文理科的異同。文章首句即為本題解題關(guān)鍵,故D正確。 2.[B]?事實細節(jié)題。定位至第3段第1句。本文只有這一句與收取學費有關(guān),后一個分句即前一個分句的理由,抓住其中隱含的因果關(guān)系就不難找到正確答案。 3.[C]?詞義理解題。通過下文數(shù)據(jù)earnings 25% higher和get 10-15% extra可以推測lucrative大意應為“給人帶來豐厚收入的”,故選C。 4.[C]?事實細節(jié)題。第4段中出現(xiàn)了幾個比較數(shù)字,考題要求找到此段首句提到的收人增加25%的參照點。第2段第1句中的Getting through university 表明這類學生收人增加25%的參照對象是沒讀大學的人,且從第4段第3句中的the list和第4句即可以確定這一段是在比較大學畢業(yè)與18歲畢業(yè)(即沒讀大學)收入的不同,因此C正確。 5.[D]?推理判斷題。結(jié)論往往出現(xiàn)在文章結(jié)尾,要想答對此題,一定要仔細體會本文末句。本文雖然重點討論文科沒有經(jīng)濟效益,但是作者并沒有做出主觀判斷,故A、B、C都不正確,而作者在文章最后講到了人文學科雖然經(jīng)濟效益不佳但學習過程更有趣,故D符合作者意思。

2024年12月英語六級考試在即,小編建議各位同學考前多做模考,熟悉考試流程,同時在考場上不會太緊張。今天小編為大家?guī)碛⒄Z六級閱讀模擬題。一起來練習吧! 2024年12月英語六級閱讀理解模擬真題:美國商業(yè) President Coolidge's statement, "The business of America is business," still points to an important truth today-that business institutions have more prestige (威望) in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions possess this great prestige? One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself, it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected. Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly(壟斷) of power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses compete for the customers' dollar, they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves. A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government,even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believe, then, that competition is as important,or even more important,than democracy in preserving freedom. Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. Competition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based onfamily background. Business is therefore viewed as and expression of the idea of equality of opportunity rather than the aristocratic(貴族的) idea of inherited privilege. 練習題: Choose correct answers to the question: 1. The statement "The business of America is business" probably means"________". A. The business institutions in America are concerned with commerce B. Business problems are of great importance to the American government C. Business is of primary concern to Americans D. America is a great power in world business 2. Americans believe that they can realize their personal values only_____ . A. when given equality of opportunity B. through doing business C. by protecting their individual freedom D. by way of competition 3. Who can benefit from business competition? A. Honest businessmen. B. Both businessmen and their customers. C. People with ideals of equality and freedom D. Both business institutions and government. 4. Government is believed to differ strikingly from business in that government is characterized by ____. A. its absolute control of power B. its function in preserving personal freedom C. its role in protecting basic American values D. its democratic way of exercising leadership 5. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes _____ . A. Americans are more ambitious than people in other countries B. in many countries success often depends on one's social status C. American businesses are more democratic than those in other countries D. businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in America 1.[C]?詞義理解題?;卮鸨绢}的關(guān)鍵是理解business的兩個不同的含義:①商業(yè),生意;②職責,事物,事。句中前一個business的意思應當是“事物,職責”,而后一個business的意思應當是“商業(yè)”,因此C為正確答案。 2.[D]?事實細節(jié)題。解題關(guān)鍵在于對第2段最后一句定語從句的理解。該句指出競爭是對基本美國價值的保護傘,故可知,D為正確答案。 3.[B]?推理判斷題。第3段提到,商業(yè)之間為利潤而互相競爭,因此商

考研英語閱讀理解能力培養(yǎng)方法
能夠掌握5500左右的單詞和詞組。記單詞不能孤立地記憶,關(guān)鍵在于掌握單詞的用法,盡可能多地掌握英語中的固定搭配、習慣用法的使用,日積月累,自然可以練就語篇理解的能力。 2.熟記英語的語法結(jié)構(gòu)和句式 英語與漢語屬于不同語系,其語法結(jié)構(gòu)和漢語也是千差萬別。掌握語法知識、了解不同的語法結(jié)構(gòu)所表達的不同意義,對正確領(lǐng)會文章的內(nèi)容十分重要。掌握語法結(jié)構(gòu),加快對句子或篇章的理解還有助于猜測生詞詞義,提高閱讀速度。 3.了解篇章結(jié)構(gòu) 首先判斷文章結(jié)構(gòu)安排、寫作目的、面向的閱讀對象、文章體裁等是提高閱讀速度、快速領(lǐng)會篇章內(nèi)容的好辦法。同時,了解英語中不同文體的篇章結(jié)構(gòu)的基本特點,對于把握篇章的要點、中心思想和作者的意圖以及其他細節(jié)都有極大的幫助。 4.要善于運用分析、判斷和推理的方法 閱讀的過程不僅僅是捕捉信息,而且還包括分析事實、原因、各個細節(jié)及其與作者意圖之間的關(guān)系。按照篇章內(nèi)容和有關(guān)系那所做出準確的判斷和推理,以便了解作者的態(tài)度和觀點,挖掘文章的主旨,最終得出正確的結(jié)論。 以上就是小編給大家分享的考研英語備考技巧,希望可以給大家學習帶來幫助。 如果您對英語學習感興趣,想要深入學習,可以了解滬江網(wǎng)校精品課程,量身定制高效實用的個性化學習方案,專屬督導全程伴學。掃一掃領(lǐng)200暢學卡
