Practice 4　　Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative efforts, the joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days, my friends, will be worth all they cost us, if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered on to, but to minister to ourselves, to our fellow men.　　Recognition of the falsity of material wealth as the standard of success goes hand in hand with the abandonment of a false belief that public office and high political position are to be valued only by the standards of pride of place and personal profits, and there must be an end to our conduct in banking and in business, which too often has given to a sacred trust the likeness of callous and selfish wrong-doing. Small wonder that confidence languishes, for it thrives only on honesty on honor on the sacredness of our obligation, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live.

  • 第3题：

    Many people think that when they become rich and successful, happiness will naturally follow. Let me tell you that nothing is further from the truth. The world is full of very rich people who are as miserable as if they were living in hell. We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs. Quite clearly, money is not the only answer to all problems. Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness. Lottery winnings do not bring happiness. Gambling winnings do not bring happiness. To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work, in your contribution towards others’ happiness and in your wealth you have earned through your own honest effort. If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means, you will know that it is ill-earned money. If you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others, you will not be happy with it. You will think you are a base person. Long-term happiness is based on honesty, productive work, contribution, and self-esteem. Happiness is not an end; it is a process. It is a continuous process of honest, productive work which makes a real contribution to others and makes you feel you are a useful, worthy person. As Dr. Wayne wrote, “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.” There is no use saying “Someday when I achieve these goals, when I get a car, build a house and own my own business, then I will be really happy.” Life just does not work that way. If you wait for certain things to happen and depend on external circumstances of life to make you happy, you will always feel unfulfilled. There will always be something missing.

    The study shows that joy is not unique to human beings.

    A:universe

    研究显示，愉悦并不是人类所特有的。universe“宇宙”，如：There are many mysteries we don't know about the universe．有很多关于宇宙的秘密我们还不知道。special“特殊的”，如：These children need special care．这些孩子需要特殊的照料。single“单个的，单一的”，如：Each single house in the street was burnt down in the fire．这场大火中街上每一座房子都被烧毁了。confined“局限于”，如：This job will not be confined to the eastern area．这项工作不会仅局限于东部地区。只有special意思上和unique最接近。

    正确答案： 【参考译文】
    幸福并不在于单纯地占有金钱;幸福还在于取得成就后的喜悦,在于创造努力时的激情。务必不能再忘记劳动带来的喜悦和激励,而去疯狂地追逐那转瞬即逝的利润。如果这些暗淡的时日能使我们认识到,我们真正的天命不是要别人侍奉,而是为自己和同胞们服务,那么,我们付出的代价就完全是值得的。
    认识到把物质财富当作成功的标准是错误的,我们就会抛弃以地位尊严和个人收益为唯一标准,来衡量公职和高级政治地位的错误信念;我们必须制止银行界和企业界的一种行为,它常常使神圣的委托混同于无情和自私的不正当行为。难怪信心在减弱,信心只有靠诚实、信誉、忠心维护和无私履行职责。而没有这些,就不可能有信心。

  • 第11题：

    问答题
    Practice 6Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the topic “Can Money Buy Happiness?” You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

    正确答案：
    【范文】
    Can Money Buy Happiness? I have once seen a caricature that depicted an ironic picture: a man who is overloaded with a pretty large piece of gold is making every effort to creep forward. However, there is much to say about it. It gives a vivid expression to a serious topic—Can money buy happiness?
    Money means wealth—social wealth as well as personal wealth. Making money is creating wealth. The more money you have, the wealthier you are. To increase wealth is what a person desires and what society needs. A person’s desire can never be satisfied and social progress has no ending. Therefore, making money is one of essential activities that identify a person’s existence.
    Happiness is referred to as enjoyable experiences that people are feeling. To some extent, enjoyable experiences result from a person’s mental satisfaction. People can never get satisfied with making money, so money is something distant from happiness. Although the man mentioned above is possessed of much money, he is suffering from the weight of gold. It is not exceptional that some millionaires are not happy at all in life. Indeed, money can buy wealth, but it cannot buy happiness if inappropriately used.
    Nevertheless money is not in contradiction to happiness when making money is regarded as a means to attain a definite goal. In a word, more attention should be focused on orientation of life when it comes to the subject—Can money buy happiness?

  • 第12题：

    问答题
    Do you think money is equal with happiness?

    正确答案： While I think we should think critically. Since happiness is the most precious thing in the world and you can’t get a happy life simply by making money. Money can buy most things but it cannot buy happiness. A typical survey in the US shown that people who are very rich don’t feel completely satisfied with their life. Of the American multimillionaires who responded, the average happiness score was 5.8, which means that they don’t feel very happy about their life and situation. From this we see that even the very rich people can’t get happiness with their money. Money is totally not equal with happiness.
    解析：
    考生不论持哪种观点，都应该举例子说明。可以举身边的例子，也可以自己进行分析论述，但应注意条理清晰。

    参考答案：D

  • 第17题：

    ［A］ lies ［B］ lays ［C］ settles ［D］ sends


    正确答案：B

    本题考查短语动词辨析。空格处填入的动词与down搭配，相当于及物动词，其主语是the snow，宾语是a treacherous carpet。lie down意为“躺下”；lay down意为“放下；记下；拟定”，如：lay down the arms/the rules（放下武器/制定规则）；settle down意为“安下心来，定居”；send down只能接sb.作宾语，意为“判某人入狱”，如：He was sent down for ten years for armed robbery.（他因持械抢劫被判入狱十年。）因此［B］符合文意，意为“（大雪）吹落（一块毯子）”。

  • 第18题：

    What maxim is flouted in such extreme examples of tautologies as "Boys are boys", and"Lies are lies"?

    A．The maxim of quantity.
    B．The maxim of quality.
    C．The maxim of relevance.
    D．The maxim of manner.

    答案：A
    解析：
    考查对交际中合作准则的理解。美国哲学家格莱斯Paul Grice认为．在所有的言语交际活动中，说话人和听话人之间为达到某一个共同的交际目标，都有一种默契，一种双方都立遵守的原则。即合作原则，包括以下四条准则：数量准则、质量准则、关联准则和方式准则。数量准则(The maxim of quantity)：①自己所说的话达到所要求的详尽程度；②不能使自己所说的话比所要求的更详细。质量准则(The maxim ofquality)：①不要说自己认为不真实的话；②不要说自己缺乏足够证据的话。关联准则(The maxim of relevance)：说话要贴切。方式准则(The maxim of manner)：①避免晦涩的词语；②避免歧义；③说话要简要；④说话要有条理。题干问的是“Boys are boys”和“Lies are lies”这两个同义重复的极端例子违反了哪个准则。题干中“男孩是男孩”“谎言是谎言”表达不够详尽，所以违反了数量准则．故选A。
