26、ce.阅读理解（共15小题；5665每小题1.5分；6670每小题2分；满分25分）AWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job sati

27、sfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had n

28、ot Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence（能力）and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, said George Vaillant, the psychologist who made the discovery. And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.Vaillants study followed these males in g

29、reat detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the mens mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men

30、 had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers

31、 also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working-at any age-is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence-the underpinnings（基础）of emotional health. They also help him

32、 understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isnt everything. As Tolstoy once said, One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to

34、luesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parents expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men58.

35、ferent sets of scoresD. measuring the mens problem solving ability59. What does the underlined word sharp probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. Quick to reactB. Having thin edgeC. Clear and definiteD. sudden and rapid60. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. competent adults know more about love

36、 than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D. Independence is the key to ones success.BGiven Australias size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australian society is remarkably homogeneous（同种类的）. Its citizen

37、s are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers（居住者）and the country people. Almost 90 percent of th

38、e population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve pockets of（少量的）colonial（殖民的）heritage, but the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the countrys youth. In contrast, the rural c

39、ommunities tend to be slow-moving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to have ridden on the sheeps back, a reference to wool being the countrys main money earner. However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. Much of Australias relatively sound economy is now achieved from natur

40、al coal- and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important.

41、archies（等级制度）, an attitude generally held to stem from（源于）its prisoner beginnings.Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants. Originally coming

42、almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere. Australias liberal postwar immigration policies led to an influx（涌入）of survivors from war-torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the

43、majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a blend of nations and although some racism exists, it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is justifiably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world.61.

44、iter mean by saying It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents. in the first paragraph?A. Australians speak standard English with no local accents whatsoever.B. You have to practice a lot to learn to understand the different accents.C. The Australian regional accents are very difficult to und

46、ople living in Australia come from Europe.D. The pace of life is different in the city and in the country.63.
