Once, long ago, there was a man who traveled from Persia to India on foot. He had 36
been to India before. When he arrived at a village, he happened upon a fruit stand. In that village, fruit was quite 37 because of the lack of water. The man was looking around at the fruits when he 38 a big basket of some very red, very long fruit. It was the cheapest fruit in the shop, not expensive at all.
39 the man walked up to the counter and asked: "How 40 per kilo?" And the shopkeeper said: "Two rupees." Two rupees in India is 41 . The man thought to himself: "What a 42 !" So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and began to 43 it. But after he tried a few pieces, he screamed: "Oh, my God!" His eyes watered, his mouth burned, and his face turned 44 . He coughed and choked and gasped for breath.
But despite his 45 , he continued to stuff(填塞) the fruits into his mouth! Onlookers 46
their heads and laughed. One man yelled: "You're 47 , man! Those are chilies! People use them as a condiment(佐料). You don't just eat them by the handful like that; they're not fruit!" But the man replied: "No, I can't 48 ! I paid money for them, and now I'll eat them. It's my money!"
You probably think this man was pretty 49 , right? Nevertheless, I bet you or someone you know makes the same 50 on a daily basis. People invest money, time and effort into a relationship, business or job. Even when experience tells them that it's not 51 , and they know there's little hope of improvement, they still 52 because they don't want to waste the initial investment. But this is 53 . It is no different than being the man who continued eating chilies because he didn't want to waste the money he'd paid for them.
Losing something is difficult, but it is important to 54 the loss and move on. 55 , you'll just keep burning your mouth on hot chilies.
36. A. sometimes B. ever C. often D. never
37. A. tasteless B. expensive C. small D. common
38. A. recognized B. watched C. noticed D. selected

A
First lady’s campaign brings change
WASHINGTON (AP) — Wal-Mart（沃尔玛）is putting special labels（标签）on some products to help shoppers quickly notice healthier ones. Millions of schoolchildren are helping themselves to vegetables from salad bars in their lunchrooms, and kids’ meals at Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants come with a side of fruit or vegetables and a glass of low-fat milk.
These changes are taking place due to the campaign against childhood fatness, for which the first lady Michelle Obama began fighting three years ago.
Fatness has become a serious problem in the country. About one-third of U.S. children are overweight, which puts them at increased risk for any number of deadly illnesses, including high blood pressure and heart disease.
Still, Mrs. Obama faces challenge. Not everyone welcomes her effort. Some blame her for going too far and say she has no right to tell what people should and shouldn’t eat. But nutrition supporters and others praise her for using her influence to help bring interests to the table. They said the first lady has raised public awareness about fatness, which will help decrease childhood fatness rates.
There is evidence of small decrease in childhood fatness rates in some parts of the country. New York reported a 5.5 percent drop in fatness rates in kindergarteners through eighth-graders between the 2006-07 and 2010-11 school years. In Philadelphia, the drop was 4.7 percent among students in grades K-12.
Fighting against children fatness is hard work, but it’s well worth the effort. The first lady is planning a promotional tour. She has been talking up the campaign against childhood fatness on daytime and late-night TV shows and on the radio. She also plans discussions next week on Google and Twitter.
“We’ve been spending a lot of time educating and re-educating families and kids on how to eat, what to eat,” the first lady said. “We’re starting to see some changes and we’re starting to show some improvement.”
56. What is the purpose of the campaign started by the first lady?
A. To call on healthy eating. B. To educate people how to avoid illness.
C. To show the harm caused by fatness. D. To reduce childhood fatness rate.
57. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The changes brought out by the campaign. B. The importance of balanced diet.
C. Children’s preference for vegetables. D. The popularity of healthy food.
58. What can we learn from the passage about Mrs. Obama?
A. She is an expert in healthy eating. B. She has won support of the whole nation.
C. She shows great concern about childhood fatness.
D. She makes good use of media to increase her influence.
59．Which of the following is TRUE about the campaign?
A. Some people don’t like the campaign because they think it’s useless.
B. So far the campaign has some effect on reducing children fatness rates.
C. The campaign was started by the first lady Michelle Obama four years ago.
D. Fighting against children fatness is such hard work that it’s not worth the effort.

B
Does money buy happiness? Not! Ah, but would a little more money make us a little happier? Many of us smirk(傻笑，假笑) and nod. There is, we believe, some connection between financial fitness and emotional demands. Three in four American college students—nearly double the 1970 proportion—now consider it “very important” or “essential” that they become “very well off financially”. Money matters.
But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where nearly everyone can afford life’s necessities, increasing wealth matters surprisingly little. The connection between income and happiness is “surprisingly weak,” observed University of Michigan researcher Ronald Inglehart in one 16-nation study of 170,000 people. Once comfortable, more money provides less returns. The second piece of pie, or the second $100,000, never tastes as good as the first. Even lottery winners and the Forbes’ 100 wealthiest Americans surveyed by University of Illinois psychologist Ed Diener have expressed only slightly greater happiness than the average American. Making it big brings temporary joy. But in the long run wealth is like health: its complete absence can create suffering, but having it doesn’t guarantee happiness. Happiness seems less a matter of getting what we want than of wanting what we have.
Has our happiness, however, floated upward with the rising economic tide? Are we happier today than in 1940s, when two out of five homes lacked a shower or tub? Actually, we are not. Since 1957, the number of Americans who say they are “very happy” has declined from 35 to 32 percent. Meanwhile, the divorce rate has doubled, the teen suicide rate has increased nearly three times, the violent crime rate has gone up nearly four times, and depression has mushroomed. Economic growth has provided no boost to human morale. When it comes to psychological well being, it is not the economy.
I call this soaring wealth and shrinking spirit “the American paradox(充满矛盾的事).” More than ever we have big houses and broken homes, high incomes and low confidence, secured rights and reduced civility. We are good at making a living but often fail at making a life. We celebrate our prosperity(繁荣) but long for a purpose. We treasure our freedoms but long for connection. In an age of plenty, we feel spiritual hunger.

60. Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s view?
A. The more money we earn, the less returns we have.
B. The more money we earn, the happier we would be.
C. In the long run, money cannot guarantee happiness.
D. In the long run, happiness grows with economy.
61. “The second $100,000 never tastes as good as the first” because _____.
A. happiness brought by it is less than that from the first $100,000
B. profit brought by it is less than that from the first $100,000
C. it is not so fresh as the first $100,000
D. it is not so important
