The way people hold to the belief that a fun­filled，pain­free life equal

题文

The way people hold to the belief that a fun­filled，pain­free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness.If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness，then pain must be equal to unhappiness.But in fact，the opposite is true.More often than not，things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness.They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such things as marriage，raising children，professional achievement，religious commitment and lf­improvement.Ask a bachelor (单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying.If he is honest，he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment.Certainly，commitment is quite painful.The single life is filled with fun，adventure，and excitement.Marriage has such moments，but they are not its most distinguishing (显著的) features.Couples with infant (婴儿) children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three­day vacation.I don’t know any parent who would choo the word fun to describe raising children.But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations.It liberates time：now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increa our happiness.It liberates money：buying that new car or tho fancy clothes that will do nothing to increa our happiness now ems pointless.And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all tho who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.小题1:According to the author，a bachelor doesn’t want to marry mainly becau________.A．he is unwilling to take family responsibilitiesB．he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC．he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD．he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement小题2:Raising children，in the author’s opinion，is________.A．a moral dutyB．a thankless jobC．a rewarding taskD．a source of inevitable pain小题3:To understand what true happiness is one must________.A．have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetimeB．make every effort to liberate onelf from painC．put up with pain under all circumstancesD．be able to distinguish happiness from fun小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?A．Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.B．One must know how to attain happiness.C．It is important to make commitments.D．It is pain that leads to happiness. 题型：未知难度：其他题型

答案

小题1:A小题2:C小题3:D小题4:A

解析

小题1: A解析 细节理解题。第三段说明单身汉拒绝结婚的主要原因是害怕做出承诺，即害怕承担家庭责任。小题2: C解析 推理判断题。第四段最后一句指出，决定不生孩子的夫妻永远也体会不到看着孩子成长以及和孙子玩耍的那种乐趣与欣喜。这种乐趣、欣喜实际上就是对抚养孩子辛勤付出的一种回报。小题3: D解析 推理判断题。由全文特别是第一段和最后一段可知，要理解幸福的真正含义就必须把fun和happiness区分开来。因为两者绝不等同，故选项D正确。C项回答的是“怎样才能获得真正的幸福”这一问题，且作者并没在文中明确提到要获得幸福就必须在任何情况下都忍受痛苦。小题4: A解析 主旨大意题。本文主旨体现在第一段最后一句：通往幸福的路上多半会有痛苦伴随，故选项A正确。D项“痛苦导致幸福”，观点过于偏激。

生活感悟类阅读解题指导：

一、文章特点： 生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。二、解题技巧：针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，要特别注意以下几点：1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
