11、d, it wont happen to you. And they carry that. They carry that with them. We champion the underdog .”Its no wonder that Britons hold the reputation of having a “stiff upper lip” being cold and not showing any emotion.Britains reputation as a grumpy country may, however, simply be the result of a cul

12、tural misunderstanding. According to the BBC, British actor Michael Caine once said: “I think what is British about me is my feelings and awareness of others and their situations. English people are always known to be well-mannered and cold, but we are not cold we dont interfere in your situation. I

13、f we are heartbroken, we dont scream in your face with tears we go home and cry on our own. Its completely to do with your comfort we dont intrude on your space.

20、p one to get through a tough timeB The United States government wants to know what the public think about its findings on the safety of cloned animals.The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult cattle, pigs and goats are safe to eat. An F.D.A. official called them as sa

21、fe to eat as the food we eat every day. And when those clones reproduce sexually (有性繁殖), the agency says, their offspring (后代) are safe to eat as well. But research on cloned sheep is limited. So the F.D.A. suggests that sheep clones not be used for human food.The United States this year could becom

22、e the first country to approve the sale of foods from cloned animals. First, however, the public will have ninety days to discuss three proposed documents. On December 28th the F.D.A. released a long report, called a draft risk assessment, along with two policy documents.The agency says it must rece

23、ive the publics opinion by April second. The F.D.A. seemed ready to act several years ago, but an advisory committee called for more research. For now, the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they not sell foods from cloned animals.Clones are still rare. They cost a lot

24、 and are difficult to produce.The F.D.A. says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves, but from their sexually reproduced offspring. It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities.Public opinion studies show most Americans do

25、not like the idea of food from cloned animals. But this research also shows the public knows little about cloning.Cloning differs from genetic engineering. A cell taken from a so-called donor animal is grown into an embryo in the laboratory. Next, the embryo is placed into the uterus (子宫) of a femal

26、e animal. If the process is successful, the pregnancy reaches full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.26.

30、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 (毫无掩饰的). In the teenage years the concept of happine

31、ss changes. Suddenly its 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 ri

32、sk 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. Its easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health. I exp

33、erienced 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 tel

34、l us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I dont 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 pressu

35、re to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing weve got to have. Were so self-conscious about our “right” to it that its making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things arent necessarily happier.

36、 Happiness isnt about what happens to us its about how we see what happens to us. Its the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. Its not wishing for what we dont have, but enjoying what we do possess.31. As people grow older, they _. A. feel it harder to experience happiness B. assoc

37、iate their happiness less with others C. will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness D. tend to believe responsibility means happiness32. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 5 and 6? A. She cares little about her own health. B. She enjoys the freedom of traveling. C. She is easily ple

38、ased by things in daily life.D. She prefers getting pleasure from housework.33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 7? A. Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness. B. Psychologist opinion is well proved by Grandmas case. C. Grandma often found time for social gatherings. D. Grandmas h

39、appiness came from modest expectations of life.34. People who equal happiness with wealth and success_.A. consider pressure something blocking their way.B. stress their right to happiness too much.C. are at a loss to make correct choices.D. are more likely to be happy.35.
