22、When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.

For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved (毫不掩饰的).

In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.

In adulthood the things that bring deep joy — love, marriage, birth — also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated.

My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.

I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.

Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don’t think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.

We, however, with   so   many choices   and   such   pressure   to succeed in   every area,   have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have. We’re so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it’s making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier.

Happiness isn’t about what happens to us — it’s about how we see what happens to us. It’s the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It’s not wishing for what we don’t have, but enjoying what we do possess.

【1】As people grow older, they .

A．associate their happiness less with others

B．feel it harder to experience happiness

C．will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness

D．tend to believe responsibility means happiness

【2】What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?

A．She cares little about her own health.

B．She enjoys the freedom of traveling.

C．She is easily pleased by things in daily life.

D．She prefers getting pleasure from housework.

【3】What can be inferred from Paragraph 7?

A．Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness.

B．Psychologists’ opinion is well proved by Grandma’ case.

C．Grandma often found time for social gatherings.

D．Grandma’s happiness came from modest expectations of life.

【4】What can be concluded from the passage?

A．Happiness lies between the positive and the negative.

B．Each man is the master of his own fate.

C．Happy is he who is content.

D．Success leads to happiness.

23、Igor Sikorsky was born on May 25th, 1889. Sikorsky developed an interest in natural sciences in his youth. He began studying at the Saint Petersburg Maritime Cadet Corps at the age of 14. In 1906, he decided that his future lay in engineering, so he left to study in Paris. In 1907, he returned home to complete his studies at the Mechanical College of Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.

A year later on a trip to Germany with his father, he learned of the achievements of the Wright Brothers and Ferdinand von Zeppelin’s airships. Sikorsky later said about this: “Within twenty-four hours, I’d decided to pursue aviation.”

Sikorsky then started his work on designing a helicopter. The first two attempts failed in 1909 and 1910 so he stopped and turned to fixed-wing aircraft (飞行器). His first attempt, the S-l, also failed. But his second attempt, the S-2, was a success. He continued to develop his knowledge to improve his airplane models. During this time，he also got his pilot’s license(执照). His fifth plane, the S-5, won him national attention. His sixth plane, the S-6-A, won him the highest award at the 1912 Moscow Aviation Exhibition. He built the first four-engine plane in 1913.

To continue to seek his dream, Sikorsky went to the United States in 1919, where he began teaching mathematics. He worked day and night and saved enough money to establish his own aviation company in Long Island in 1923. The company did pretty well but Sikorsky was dreaming big.

All this time his dream of building a helicopter had just grown bigger and he never stopped writing down his designs and ideas. In 1939 his dream came true. Sikorsky finally completed the VS-300 and piloted its first flight himself. It was the first successful helicopter of the United States and by 1940 served as the model for all single-rotor (单旋翼)helicopters.

Sikorsky’s work contributed greatly to the aviation industry and he was recognized as the father of helicopters because of his pioneering designs. He officially retired in 1957, but he continued to work as a consultant (顾问)until his death in 1972 at the age of 83.

A．He made engineering his major.

B．He moved from France to Germany.

C．He decided to change his life’s work.

D．He returned home to continue his studies.

【3】What happened in the 1930s?

A．Igor Sikorsky’s helicopter was a success.

B．Igor Sikorsky received his pilot’s license.

C．Igor Sikorsky’s own company was set up.

D．Igor Sikorsky became a mathematics teacher.
