How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains(痛苦), and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets(后悔).
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities(責(zé)任) to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always giving new things to the child--- things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not do something or being punished for what he has wrongly done.
When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society(社會(huì)) as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he worked hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the greatest happiness of building up for himself his own position(地位) in society.

試題分析:本文講述孩子想長(zhǎng)大而老人想變年輕從而提到每個(gè)年齡段都有其痛苦與快樂。最快樂的人是享受人生,不做讓自己后悔的事的人。
1.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets(后悔).最后快樂的人是享受人生而不浪費(fèi)在讓自己后悔的事上的人。D 項(xiàng)符合題意。
2.B 細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)第二段第四行But a child has his pains孩子也有痛苦,故A錯(cuò)誤。根據(jù)第二行提到It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return,如果給予他們太多 的話,他們必須回報(bào)是錯(cuò)誤的。而D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在only一詞,范圍太小。根據(jù)第二段第一二行If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do.無論他們做什么,也是被人愛的,故B項(xiàng)是正確的。
3.D 主旨大意。文章以現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中的情況開始提到How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and old people wishing they were young again,孩子希望長(zhǎng)大而老人希望變年輕得出每個(gè)年齡段都有其快樂與痛苦,最快的人是享受生活,不讓自己后悔。故D符合文章大意。
4.C 推斷題。第二段提到Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities(責(zé)任) to make life difficult兒童時(shí)期的生活。第三段When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably.提到年輕人有自己苦痛與幸福。所以第四段提到老人這個(gè)階段的事情,故選D項(xiàng)。
