She didnt hear me properly. “There is a what?” she shouted back. “Youve found a chair in the house?

12、” I cleared my throat and said again, as calmly as possible, “I think there is a bear in the house.” If there is a world speed record for repacking a backpack and leaving a building, Annabel must be a competitor, for we were outside the building within seconds. Annabel and I had already spent three

13、days walking 80 kilometers over the mountains from the Pacific. We were in Canadas Yukon Territory, heading towards Car cross, on the shore of Lake Bennett. Here our boat was waiting where we had left it the week before. Our plan then was to boat down the 3,000 kilometers of the Yukon River to the B

14、ering Sea. On this day, we were walking the last 48 kilometers towards Car cross, following a disused railway line. You had to keep an eye out for black bears, whose presence was obvious from the huge piles of dung(粪便) that littered the tracks. As the day drew on, we started to look for somewhere to

15、 sleep. We finally found an old railway building, which looked as if it might keep us safe from bears. Though the windows and doors had large scratch and chew marks, they were covered with boards and looked safe. Annabel went upstairs and started to unpack and settle in while I looked around downsta

16、irs. I was moving around in what was once clearly a kitchen, when, from out of a darkened doorway that I took to the storeroom, came a soft but unusual deep moan(呻吟). My curiosity raised, I started to walk towards the slightly open door. I was halfway across the room when a low rough sound came out

17、of the darkness and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. My natural ability was to run. I backed out of the room, my eyes staring at the dark doorway. We thought it might be a better idea to spend the night elsewhere. We got up early in our small tent in the morning. The nights sleep had been

18、all right except when a little troubled by dreams of bears. But our mood rose with the sun. We were walking along, relaxing with each step and looking forward to a big lunch at Car cross.Crossing a small wooden bridge, we left the rail tracks to have a drink. As we returned, Annabel cried out “Stop!

19、” Looking up, I saw a familiar black shape behind us: another black bear was following us, moving up slowly from behind, and then disappearing rapidly into the trees when we turned to face it. How long it had been following us, we could not say.25. What can you know from the first paragraph?AAnnabel

20、 set a world speed recordBThe author was calmer than AnnabelCAnnabels hearing was so poor that she couldnt hear any soundsDThe two girls ran out of the house at high speed for fear of the bear26.

It was really a safe place to play and sleep in. D. A rough sound could be heard from the kitchen. CNowadays, especially in China, e

22、verything seems to favor social intercourse, such as gatherings of friends, KTV, group travel, dining together, playing cards and Mahjong, plus the Chinese-style “street-crossing group.” Back home, discussions can still be boisterously carried on within the “circle of friends” of WeChat. However, th

23、ese scenes cannot always ease a sense of loneliness. Zhu Ziqing, a well-known professor of Tsinghua University, signed with emotion: “My loneliness increases as the scene becomes much busier.” One popular song today is also called “A lonely man in crowds.” Actually, engaging in social intercourse re

24、quires ability, while being alone involves the whole character.These days, it is not easy to calm down totally and return to ones true self. Willpower, intellect and discipline are required. Einstein said: “It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether yo

25、u will be successful or not.” The “spare time” he referred to could be taken as “spending time by yourself”. Lonely life could be either dull, boring and tasteless or abundant, interesting and colorful, depending on ones quality, ambition and inspiration.Just as the body constantly requires energy,

26、the mind and soul also demand unceasing inputs. However, information, to be processed and integrated（融入）into knowledge, thoughts and feelings, instead of bustle（忙碌）seems to be the right condition. Successful careers in all walks of life worldwide have proved that “the soul grows in peace and talent

27、is nurtured in loneliness”. In a sense, it may be reasonable to say that “Happiness tends to be shallow while loneliness involves profundity”.Man, in fact, needs loneliness more than happy time, and only abundant loneliness can produce quality happiness.28.

You should exercise more if you want to keep your minds healthy.C. You will not become successful if you join in more social intercourse.D. Y

30、ou will be more successful if you can make your lonely time meaningful.31. Which may be the best title for this passage?A. Live On Your Own B. Happiness and LonelinessC. The Secret of Success D. Practice Your Social AbilityDAging brings wrinkles, and frustrating forgetfulness. But getting older is n

31、ot all bad for everyone. A lot of evidence suggests aging may be a key to happiness. There is a conflicting research on the subject, however, and experts say it may all boil down to this: attitude is everything.Older adults tend to be more optimistic and have a more positive outlook on life than the

32、ir younger and stressed opposites. The big question is why seniors are happier. A recent study suggests one reason: Older adults remember the past through happy memories. Aging can bring more cheer as people become more comfortable with themselves and their roles in society. The older adults said th

33、ey were enjoying more time with their family, spending more time on hobbies and having greater financial security and did not have to work.But others are doubtful about the link between happiness and growing older.The opinion that those in old age are happiest is misleading, said Professor Richard E

34、asterlin.It is based on comparing people of different ages who are the same in terms of income, health, family life. Easterlin added, When you take account of the fact that older people have lower income than the younger, are less healthy, and more likely to be living alone, then you will find it ha

35、rd to accept that they are happier. In fact, scientists have found that as people age, their health declines and social networks disappear as their friends die, which can make the elderly less happy.Even if one does give in to ages dark side, health and happiness dont always go hand-in-hand. Its all

36、 about attitude. Research by the University of Chicagos Yang suggests that attitude about life and happiness, is partly shaped by the era in which a person was born. It turns out that individuals who adapt the best to changes also have the highest expected levels of happiness. Despite the conflictin

37、g findings about aging and happiness, the good news is that there doesnt appear to be a limit to how much happiness one can achieve in ones life. Most people desire happiness,” Easterlin said. “To my knowledge, no one has identified a limit to attainable happiness”.32. What does the last paragraph m
