38、Britons, says Margolis: “talking about how much we make is unthinkableeven less so than discussing our feelings” Over-politeness “Its not that I want shop assistants to be actively rudeBut neither do I want to expend energy responding to someone whos been paid to ask: How are you today?” says Margol

51、news. In this age of visual and aural hyper-stimulation, the medium of radio is making a great comeback. “Were at the beginning of a golden age of audio,” said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald. In the last month alone, 15 percent of US adults listened to a
52、radio podcast (播客). These statistics, released by Edison Research, show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present days digital podcast format. The term “podcast” was invented in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years. With the sha
53、rp increase in consumer demand for smart phones and tablets, podcast sales have jumped.The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities (功能). You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when youre walking to the shops, waiting in a queue or ridi
54、ng the subway. Similar to television shows, podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week.Donna Jackson, 22, Sydney University media graduate, listens to podcasts two or three times a week, via iTurns. “I listen while Im wandering around the house doing something else
55、. It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable And its an easy way of keeping in touch with whats going on in the rest of the world,” she said, “I mainly listen to BBC podcasts, but recently Ive also been listening to This American Life and Serial. They have a special skill to really draw y
56、ou in.”Unlike television and music, the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers. Blumberg says this owes to the podcasts ability “to create close relationship and emotional connection.” Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust, majoring in social work and arts, agre
57、es. “When youre listening, it feels as if the voice of the podcasts storyteller is talking directly to you. Its comforting,” said Proust.It seems the age-old tradition of verbal storytelling is very much alive and well.68. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that _. A. traditional broadcast
58、has come back B. Americans love listening to the radio C. podcasts have become very popular today D. smart phones sell well because of podcasts69. The writer mentions Donna Jackson mainly to _. A. tell how young people relax themselves B. explain why young people like podcasts C. introduce what prog
59、rams podcasts are presenting D. show how popular podcasts are presenting70. Paragraph 5 is mainly about _. A. the influence of radiosB. the advantage of podcasts C. readers impression on radios D. peoples reaction to the medium71. What is probably the best title of the passage? A. Return of Radio B.
60、 Opinions of Podcast C. Features of Radio D. Technology of PodcastEWe all think that we know what happiness is. We all seem to be making great efforts towards this goal of happiness but what is it really? It is an agreed fact that all the creatures want happiness and are afraid of pain and sadness.
61、The question, however, is “what is real happiness?” What really is called happiness? The desire for happiness has no meaning without understanding the real nature of happiness.Some thinkers say, “Happiness does not lie in objects of enjoyment; happiness or unhappiness lies in imagination.”To prove t
62、heir belief, they give examples like the following one: A man has a two-storey house; on the right is a five-storey building and on the left a cottage. When he sees right, he feels unhappy and when he sees left he feels happy. As such happiness does not lie in possession of sensory objects, but in i
63、magination. They advise people to look towards those who have fewer possessions and be happy. If you look towards people having more wealth and possessions, you will always be unhappy.It is unreasonable to hold this point of view. It is unkind to regard one happy by imagining that one is better than
64、 the poor and the unhappy. “If you want to be happy, look towards the poor”. We know that those poor people cannot satisfy even their basic needs. This attitude satisfies the sense of pride of possessions, but this can never be called happiness.Unless we really find where happiness lies, we cannot r
65、eally be happy.Some ask people to do this and do that and say, “This way your desires would be satisfied. You would get the desired objects and become happy.” People holding these views regard happiness as satisfaction of desires. But it is not possible to satisfy ones desires because there are coun
66、tless desires of countless people and the material things are limited. Then new desires arise as soon as the previous ones are satisfied. Therefore, desires, which are changing all the time, can never be satisfied.Happiness is a characteristic of a good life, that is, a life in which a person fulfil
67、ls (履行) human nature in an excellent way. People have a set of purposes which are typically human: these belong to our nature. Happiness is also a condition that must be prepared for, cultivated (培养), and defended privately by each person. People who learn to control inner experience will be able to
68、 determine the quality of their lives and come to being happy. Happiness lies in the distribution of easiness among others. Happiness stands for forgiveness and justice. Happiness is the name of struggle and courage. Happiness may be founded in seeking of true knowledge and rule of wisdom. Happiness
69、 may be shared in service and duty. This life is combination of joys and sorrows, and honest efforts should be done to make this life journey full of happiness, love, peace and harmony.72. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To show how to achieve happiness. B. To encourage people to achieve happi
70、ness.C. To explain the features of happiness. D. To argue how to understand happiness.73. The writer doesnt think that happiness lies in the satisfaction of desires because .A. no desires of a person can be satisfied at all B. ever-changing desires can never be satisfiedC. there isnt enough money to
