Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?
At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy. As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.” Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green – eyed monster” and the UK is its home.
Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. Some were given a little, others a great deal. Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.
This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain. But there is also conflicting evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.
“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”
Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem. They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them. It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.
1.Most entrepreneurs surveyed believe that .
A.the British people hate success |
B.the British people are hardworking |
C.love of success is Britain’s national character |
D.they are considered as “green – eyed monsters” |
2.What does the result of the Warwich University’s test show.

B.Most people would rather fail than see others succeed. |
C.An imaginary amount of money does not attract people. |

A.jealousy is Britain’s national character |
B.British entrepreneurs are not fairly treated |
C.the scientists at Warwich University did a successful test |
D.the entrepreneurs in the UK do not behave properly |

A
It all began as we were standing in front of the bathroom mirror, while I fixed Amanda's blonde hair. I said, “I love you, AmandA.” “And, I love you,” she replieD.“Well, I love you more.” Her eyes lit up as she recognized the cue (暗示) for the start of another “I love you more” match. “Nuh-uh,” she laugheD.“I love you the most.” “I love you bigger than a volcano!” I countered---a favorite family phrase in these battles of love. “But, Mom, I love you from here to ChinA.” A country she’s learning about from our new neighbors up the street.
We volleyed back and forth a few favorite lines. “I love you more than peanut butter.” “Well, I love you more than television.” “I even love you more than bubble gum.” It was my turn again, and I made the move that usually brought victory. “I love you bigger than the universe!” On this day, however, Amanda was not going to give up. I could see she was thinking. “Mom,” she said in a quiet voice, “I love you more than myself.”
I stopped, surprised by her sincerity. Here I thought I knew more than she diD.I thought I knew at least everything that she knew. But I didn’t know this. My four-year-old daughter knows more about love than her 28-year-old mom.

科目:高中英語 來源:2010屆黑龍江省高三上學(xué)期期末考試英語試卷 題型:閱讀理解
Everyone knows we must exercise regularly to maintain good health.Indeed, staying physically fit is a big part of our culture.We consider (and rightly so) that healthy people are attractive people.Since most of us want to be attractive, there is no shortage of exercise clubs, training videos, magazines, and books offering to help us stay physically fit.
Unfortunately, however, our culture does not place the same emphasis on mental fitness.Although we admire and love men and women with strong and healthy-looking bodies, we don’t have the same degree of respect or attraction for smart, educated and mentally healthy people.This is a shame, because there are immense rewards for people who have developed the ability to think well.
If your mind is well trained and flexible, you will be able to understand a great deal of what happens around you.And if you are also well educated--- that is, if you understand basic science, mathematics, music, art, literature, history and so on--- you will find it much easier to make good decisions throughout your life.Over the long run, this leads to a sense of control over your destiny and a much better life than otherwise.
People who are poorly educated or who don’t think well--- that is, people who are not mentally fit see things differently.Their world is controlled by mysterious, but often malevolent (惡意的) forces.Such people live within a system they will never master, forced to follow the rules they will never understand.Although it may not be obvious, most people spend their lives being manipulated (控制) by others.They are told what to do, what to think, how to spend their money, and what they should and should not aspire (渴求) to in life.
In my opinion, if you want to live well, you must be able to use your mind well.For this reason, I want you to be able to concentrate, solve problem, understand complex ideas, and think clearly and quickly.Such skills will make it easier for you to make informed decisions, understand current events, choose good friends, manage your money well, make wise long-term decisions, and appreciate music, art and literature.
The key to developing such skills is to enjoy learning, and to have the ability and motivation to teach yourself.
67.The writer of the passage feels disappointed that______________.
A.some people have not the skill to make good decisions
B.the world of the physically healthy people is controlled by mysterious forces
C.mentally healthy people are not as popular as physically people
D.too much has been done to help people stay physically fit
68.The underline word “this” refers to___________.
A.the understanding of a great deal of what goes on around you
B.the understanding of basic science and mathematics
C.good training in body and mind
D.being able to make good decisions in life
69.The writer of the passage thinks that those who are not mentally fit___________.
A.live a poor and mysterious life B.can’t control over their life
C.often do what others do D.enjoy being fooled and ruled
70.The best title of the passage will most probably be______________.
A.Mind Helps You More B.Train Your Mind
C.Make Informed Decisions D.Learn More to Help Yourself
