A
The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, self-improvement.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is 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 , excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
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. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. 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 who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
【小题1】.Raising children, in the author’s opinion, is . A.a moral duty B.a thankless job C.a rewarding task D.a source of inevitable pain
【小题2】.According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because . A .he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities
B. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single C. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage
D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement 【小题3】To understand what true happiness is, one must . A have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetime B. make every effort to liberate oneself from pain

C. put up with pain under all circumstances D .be able to distinguish happiness from fun
【小题4】From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes results from . A .hatred B .misunderstanding
C. prejudice D. ignorance
【小题5】.What is the author trying to tell us?
A. How to get happiness B. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain C. The importance of happiness in our lives D. Happiness equals fun 【答案】 【小题1】C 【小题2】A 【小题3】D 【小题4】D 【小题5】B
【小题3】 细节理解题。依据文章第1段第1句―The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness‖（人们坚持充满趣味、毫无痛苦的生活就等于幸福这一信条实际上减少了他们获得真正幸福的可能性）。再依据文章最后一句―…all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all‖（……生活中总是有如此多的fun的人实际上也许一点都不幸福）。可以看出要理解真正的幸福是什么就必须把fun和happiness区分开来。因为两者绝不等同。故选项D正确。C项应该是回答―怎样才能获得真正的幸福‖这一问题，且作者并没在文中明确提

到获得快乐就必须在任何情况下都忍受痛苦。所以D正确。
B
Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time. Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to permanent damage. But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention? We asked Dr Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency medicine at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia.
First, the medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration(严重划破，撕裂伤). Dr Brown says the length is usually not as important as the depth. He says a long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep. ―If you have a short but deep laceration where there’s been a structure underneath that’s been damaged － a tendon, a nerve, a blood vessel,‖ says Martin, ―it may, in fact, need professional attention.‖
Some injuries － like a fingertip that gets cut off － might even require surgery to repair. That requires a specialist to either file(锉平) down the bone or reattach the fingertip. More often, filing down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful.
How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is. Minor cuts usually produce what is known as venous (静脉) bleeding. This means the blood flows steadily from the injury. The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound. Dr Brown says in most cases holding direct pressure with clean gauze or a cloth for four to five minutes should stop the bleeding. With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood. But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial(动脉) bleeding. This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible.
Even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection. Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water. Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty. Dr Brown says cuts should be covered with a clean, dry bandage.
