42、es in Beijing(C)Sadness is unpleasant, and in a society where personal happiness is prized above all else, there is little tolerance for falling in despair. Especially now weve got drugs for getting rid of sad feelingswhether its after losing a job, the break-up of a relationship or the death of a l
43、oved one. So its no surprise that more and more people are taking them. But is this really such a good idea? A growing number of voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isnt. They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is playing fast and loose(行
44、为轻率). Sadness, they argue, serves a useful purposeand if we lose it, we lose out. Yet many psychiatrists(精神病医生)insist not. Sadness has a nasty habit of turning into depression, they warn. Even when people are sad for good reason, they should take drugs to make themselves feel better. So who is right
45、? Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch? There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life. It may be a self-protection strategy, as other primates(灵长类) also show signs of sadness. A losing monkey that doesnt show sadness after
46、it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkeyand that could finally result in death. In humans, sadness has a further function: we may display sadness as a form of communication. By acting sad, we tell other community members that we need support. Then there is the idea
47、that creativity is connected to dark moods. There are plenty of great artists, writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder. Scientists find that people with signs of depression perform better at a creative task, and that negative moods make people think deeply over the unhapp
48、y experience, which allows creative processes to come to the front. There is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career. A doctor found that people who scored 8 out 10 on a happiness test were most successful in income and education than 9s or 10s. The happiest people lose thei
49、r willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them. 58. The underlines word “this” refers to _ . A. taking drugs B. falling in despairC. losing a jobD. feeling sad59. The author believes sadness is _. A. a good thing for peoples healthB. something horrible never to touchC. a necessar

A. cheat their enemyB. protect themselves C. comfort the loserD. challenge the winner61. We can infer from the last paragraph that _ . A. people with great creativity tend to be happierB. unh
51、appy experiences contribute to a greater careerC. too much happiness can be bad for your careerD. the happiest people are the most successful ones (D)It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country i
52、n pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.Over the telephone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is o

He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it. “Now Ill never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly. Returning to his office th

Jacks hands shook as he read the note inside. “Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack B
60、ennett. Its the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box.

61、e words carved: “Jack, thanks for your time! Harold Belser.” “Oh, My God!
