I tend to accept any idea put forward by experts on TV. One day, a sociologist(社會(huì)學(xué)家) proposed that the   36  society has been consuming modern humans little by little. For fear that I would become a victim of the consumer society, I   37  hurried to a bicycle shop in my neighborhood.   38  the shopkeeper Mr. Johnson was selling me the bicycle, he said, “This is the best thing you   39  have done. Life has become hopelessly   40 . A bicycle is simple, and it brings to you   41  things: fresh air, sunshine and exercise.” I agreed. Happy as a child, I got on the bicycle and headed out onto the streets. After some time, I   42  at the other end of the town. I was   43  that this simple vehicle could let me   44  long distances in a fairly short time. But how   45  did I really go?

Since I hated to be   46 , I went back to Mr. Johnson and asked him to   47  an odometer (里程表) on my bicycle. He agreed, but   48 , “An odometer without a speedometer (速度計(jì)) is like a   49  without a knife.” I admitted he was right and in a few minutes, the two devices (裝置) were   50  to the handlebars of my bicycle. “What about a horn?” he then asked. “Look, this horn is no larger than a matchbox and has many   51 .” Attracted by these functions, I bought the horn.

“You can’t leave the back part   52 ,” noted Mr. Johnson. He fixed a metal box with buttons   53  the seat, and said, “Is there anything better than this oven(烤箱) when you feel   54  on your way? I can give you a special discount.” I was not strong enough to   55  the offer.

“I congratulate you once more; this is the best thing you could have done,” said Mr. Johnson in the end.

       It takes courage to stand up at work．Now more and more people are standing up when they are working on something important．Standing up is in fashion．Medical researchers have found that people who stand at work tend to be much healthier than those who sit．But I wasn't just looking for better health — standing would also improve how I work and relax my body．

       In recent years, many office supply companies have begun to sell adjustable desks．These so-called "sit / stand" models are equipped with an electric motor that lets them shift from chair height to person height at the push of a button．Unfortunately, sit / stand desks tend to be expensive, hard to find and not very easy to test in person．

       I discovered that when I worked standing up, my mind was clearer and new ideas kept coming to me．I suspect that this is because when you're standing, you feel a bit unchained from your desk．If I got stuck on a word or sentence as I wrote it, I found myself shaking my arms, bouncing （跳） on my feet or stepping away from the desk for a bit — things I couldn't do in a chair．Often, standing up seemed to relax my mind enough for me to get over creative barriers．

       There's another thing about standing for a long time: I tend to get hungrier than I do when I sit on a chair．That feels like confirmation（證實(shí)） of the stand-up advocates’ belief that you burn more calories when you stand than when you sit．For this reason alone, I' m hoping that one day mass-market furniture companies can make many low-priced versions of sit / stand desks．We could all work with a bit more standing up．

The author likes standing up while working because __________．

       A．he wants to show that he has a lot of courage

       B．researchers say standing makes one healthier

       C．he intends to catch up the fashion trend

       D．he hopes to improve his work and relax himself

It can be inferred from the text that   ________．

       A．a(chǎn)djustable desks are mass-produced now

       B．a(chǎn)djustable desks are easy to operate

       C．cheaper adjustable desks will soon be available

       D．a(chǎn)djustable desks can be tried out easily

What is the main idea of the text?

       A．Standing up at work is a better choice．

       B．Standing up at work takes courage．

       C．Standing up at work burns more calories．

       D．Standing up at work will replace traditional sitting．

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2013屆浙江省高二上學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)題 題型：閱讀理解

   Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes mostly because they misunderstand the process and journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, “I’ll be happy when I get my new promotion.” or “I’ll be happy when I earn that extra 20 pounds.” The list goes on and on. You probably have a few of your own you could add if you want.

   This thinking is dangerous because it presupposes that happiness is a “response” to having, being or doing something. In life, we all experience stimulus and response. Stimulus is when a dog barks at you and bares his teeth. Response is when your heart beats faster, your palms get sweaty and you prepare to run. Today, some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A loving relationship is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling: “I’ll be happy when…”

   It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is NOT a response — rather, it is a stimulus.

   Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day of our lives. For unknown reason to me, many choose to be painful, unsuccessful and angry most of the time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want — we usually get things we want AFTER we choose to be happy.

   I have made only one simple rule for my own happiness: Every day above ground is a GOOD day. Therefore, I tend to have a lot of good (and happy) days continually.

1.The second paragraph mainly tells us that people seek happiness_______.

   A. in the same way     B. in different ways  C. by working hard    D. by taking drugs

2. What does the underlined phrase “This thinking” refer to?

  A. The thinking of being promoted.         

B. The giving up of happiness.

  C. The process and journey of finding happiness.   

D. The misunderstanding of happiness.

3.The underlined word “stimulus” in para.4 probably means_______.

A. something causes an action        B. something helps to expand  

C. attention                       D. improvement

4. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to________.

  A. tell people how to enjoy happiness                      

B. encourage people to seek happiness

C. express his attitude towards happiness  

D. criticize the wrong ideas about happiness
