She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum

34、. She asked, Do you have the address? No, but Ill recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine. Oh, stop. There it is!”The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us. May I help you? a man asked. No, I said. Were fine.” Tour guid

35、es got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you werent that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed a ma

36、n standing behind me. Where do you think you are? he asked. I turned sharply. The McNay Art Museum! He smiled, shaking his head. Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street. Whats this place?” I asked, still confused. Well, its our home. My heart jolted(震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out,

37、Sally! Come down immediately! Theres some really good stuff(艺术作品) up there. She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place. Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, l

38、aughing. She couldnt believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a

39、 public place. Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum? Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone. That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky b

44、 kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier

45、. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and c

46、ame to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillants study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47.

47、 Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the mens mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surp

48、risingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class mad

49、e no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward comm

50、on goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isnt everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love ones work.”61. What do we know about John?A. He enjo

51、yed his career and marriage.B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He received little love from his family.D. He was envied by others in his childhood.62. Vaillants words in Paragraph 2 serve as _.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competence

52、C. an example for parents expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men63. Vaillants team obtained their findings by _.A. recording the boys effort in schoolB. evaluating the mens mental healthC. comparing different sets of scoresD. measuring the mens problem solv

53、ing ability64. What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. Quick to react.B. Having a thin edge.C. Clear and definite.D. sudden and rapid.65. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Competent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to

54、a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D. Independence is the key to ones success.D（2013年天津，D）When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.For kids, happiness has a magical qua

55、lity. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved (毫无掩饰的). In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly its conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive b

56、oy at the school party.In adulthood the things that bring deep joylove, marriage, birthalso bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated (复杂的).My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. Its ea

57、sy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning wri

58、ting, which I love. When the kids and my husband come home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I dont think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have

59、a network of close friends and family, and maybe this what satisfied her.We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing weve got to have. Were so self-conscious about our “right” to it that its making us miserable. So we chase

60、it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things arent necessarily happier.Happiness isnt about what happens toits about how we see what happens to us. Its the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. Its not wishing for what we dont have,
