Read the passages and then write your answers on your answer sheet. Passage 1In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros—as wellas the works of Alfredo Ramos Martines—depicted these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems.In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are unholy.1.More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general historybecause art history .A.show us the religious and emotions of a people in addition to political values.B.provide us with information about the daily activities of people in the past.C.D.all of the above.2.Art is subjective in that .A.a personal and emotional view of history is presented through it.B.it can easily rouse our anger or sadness about social problems.C.it will find a ready echo in our hearts.D.both B and C.3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Unlike Francisco Goya, Pablo and several Mexican artists expressed their politicalopinions in their paintings.B.C.Religious art remained in Europe for centuries the only type of art because mostpeople regarded the Bible as the Holy Book.D.All the above mentioned.4.The passage is mainly discussing .A.the difference between general history and art history.B.The making of art history.C.What can we learn from art.D.The influence of artists on art history.5.In may be concluded from this passage that .A.Islamic artists have had to create architectural decorations with images of flowersor geometric forms.B.History teachers are more objective than general history.C.It is more difficult to study art history than general history.D.People and stories from the Bible were painted on churches and other buildings inorder to popularize the Bible.Passage 2Nineteenth-century writers in the United States, whether they wrote novels, short stories, poems, or plays, were powerfully drawn to the railroad in its golden years. In fact,writers responded to the railroads as soon as the first were built in the 1830’s. By the 1850’s, the railroad was a major presence in the life of the nation. Writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau saw the railroad both as a boon to democracy and as an object of suspicion. The railroad could be and was a despoiler of nature; furthermore, in its manifestation of speed and noise, it might be a despoiler of human nature as well. By the 1850’s and 1860’s, there was a great distrust among wri ter intellectuals of the rapid industrialization of which the railroad was a leading force. Deeply philosophical historians such as Henry Adams lamented the role that the new frenzy for business was playing in eroding traditional values. A distrust of industry and business continued among writers throughout the rest of the nineteenth century and into the twentieth.6.With which of the following topics is the passage mainly concerned?A.The role of the railroad in the economy of the Unite StatesB.Major nineteenth-century writersC.The conflict between expanding industry and preserving natureD.The railroad as a subject for literature7.In the first paragraph, the author implies that writers’ reactions to the development ofrailroads wereA.highly enthusiasticB.both positive and negativeC.unchangingD.disinterested8.According to the passage, the railroad played a significant role in literature in all ofthe following kinds of books EXCEPTA.thrillersB. boys’ booksC. important novelsD. romances9.The author mentions all of the following as being true about the literature of railroadsEXCEPT thatA.many of its writers had experience working on railroadsB.many of the books were set in railroad stations and yardsC.the books were well known during the railroads’ prime yearsD.quite a few of the books are still popular today10.What is the author’s attitude toward the “railroad novels” and other books aboutrailroads written between 1890 and 1920?A.They have much literary importance as the books written by Emerson, Thoreau,and Adams.B.They are good examples of the effects industry and business had on the literatureof the United States.C.They contributed to the weakening of traditional values.D.They are worth reading as sources of knowledge about the impact of railroads onlife in the United States.Passage 3Ridiculous beliefs? Not to many people, especially many women and members of minority races who, like Coleman, feel that the scales (障眼物) have dropped from their eyes. "Women and blacks in organizations work under false beliefs," says Kaleel Jamison, a New York based management consultant who helps corporation s deal with these issues. "They think that if you work hard, you'll get ahead--that someone in authority will reach down and give you a promotion." She adds, "Most women and blacks are so frightened that people will think they've gotten ahead because of their sex or color that they play down (使不突出) their visibility." Her advice to those folks: learn the ways that white males have traditionally used to find their way into the spotlight.11.According to the passage, "things formerly judged to be best left unsaid" (Line 2,Para.1) probably refers to " ".A.criticisms that shape everyone's experienceB.the opinions which contradict the established beliefsC.D.12.To achieve success in your career, the most important factor, according to thepassage, is to .A.let your superiors know how good you areB.project a favorable image to the people around youC.work as a consultant to your superiorsD.perform well your tasks given by your superiors13.The reason why women and blacks play down their visibility is that they .A.know that someone in authority will reach down and give them a promotionB.want to give people the impression that they work under false beliefsC.don't want people to think that their promotions were due to sex or colorD.believe they can get promoted by reason of their sex or color14.The author is of the opinion that Coleman's beliefs are .A.biasedB. popularC. insightfulD. superficial15.The best title for this passage would be .A.Role of Women and Minorities in ManagementB.The Importance of Being VisibleC.Job Performance and AdvancementD.Sex and Career SuccessPassage 4Early in the age of affluence ( 富裕) that followed World War II , an American retailing analyst named Victor Elbow proclaimed,” Our enormously productive economy...demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction, is consumption. ... We need things consumed, burned up, worn out, replaced and discarded at an ever increasing rate.”Overconsumption by the world's fortunate is an environmental problem unmatched in severity by anything but perhaps population growth. Their surging exploitation of resources threatens to exhaust or unalterably spoil forests, soils, water, air and climate.Of course, the opposite of overconsumption—poverty—is no solution to either environmental or human problems. It is infinitely worse for people and bad for the natural world too. Dispossessed (被剥夺得一无所有的) peasants slash-and burn their way into the rain forests of Latin America, and hungry nomads (游牧民族) turn their herds out onto fragile African grassland, reducing it to desert.If environmental destruction results when people have either too little or too much,we are left to wonder how much enough is. What level of consumption can the earth support? When dose having more cease to add noticeably to human satisfaction?16.The emergence of the affluent society after World War II .A.led to the reform of the retailing systemB.resulted in the worship of consumerismC.gave rise to the dominance of the new egoismD.gave birth to a new generation of upper class consumers17.Apart from enormous productivity, another important impetus to highconsumption is .A.the people's desire for a rise in their living standardsB.the concept that one's success is measured by how much they consumeC.the imbalance that has existed between production and consumptionD.the conversion of the sale of goods into rituals18.Why does the author say high consumption is a mixed blessing?A.B ecause poverty still exists in an affluent society.B.B ecause overconsumption won't last long due to unrestricted populationgrowth.C.Because traditional rituals are often neglected in the process of modernization.D.Because moral values are sacrificed in pursuit of material satisfaction.19.According to the passage, consumerist culture .A.will not alleviate poverty in wealthy countriesB.will not aggravate environmental problemsC.cannot thrive on a fragile economyD.cannot satisfy human spiritual needs20.It can be inferred from the passage that .A.human spiritual needs should match material affluenceB.whether high consumption should be encouraged is still an issueC.how to keep consumption at a reasonable level remains a problemD.there is never an end to satisfying people's material needsPassage 5Opinion poll surveys show that the public see scientists in a rather unflattering light.In spite of excellent documentaries, and some good popular science magazines, scientific stories in the media still usually alternate between miracle and scientific threat. The popular stereotype of science is like the magic of fairy tales: it has potential forenormous good or awful harm. Popular fiction is full of “good” scientists saving the world, and “mad” scientists trying to destroy it.From all the many scientific stories which might be given media treatment, those which are chosen are usually those which can be framed in terms of the usual news angles: novelty, threat, conflict or the bizarre. The routine and often tedious work of the scientist slips from view, to be replaced with a picture of scientists forever offending public moral sensibilities (as in embryo research), threatening public health (as in weapons research), or fighting it out with each other (in giving evidence at public enquiries such as those held on the issues connected with nuclear power).It is no such thing, of course. Science is what scientists do; what they do is what a particular kind of society facilitates, and what is done with their work depends very much on who has the power to turn their discoveries into technology, and what their interests are.21.According to the passage, ordinary people have a poor opinion of science andscientists partly because .A.of the misleading of the mediaB.opinion polls are unflatteringC.scientists are shown negatively in the mediaD.science is considered to be dangerous22.Fewer girls than boys study science because .A.they think that science is too difficultB.they are often unsuccessful in science at schoolC.science is seen as a man’s jobD.science is considered to be tedious23.Media treatment of science tends to concentrate on .A.the routine, everyday work of scientistsB.discoveries that the public will understandC.the more sensational aspects of scienceD.the satisfactions of scientific work24.According to the author, over-personalization of scientific work will lead scienceA.isolation from the rest of the worldB.improvements on school systemC.association with “femaleness”D.trouble in recruiting young talent25.According to the author, what a scientist does .A.should be attributed to his individual geniusB.depends on the coordination of the societyC.shows his independent powerD.is unpredictablePART III WRITING (30 Points)Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television, newspapers, magazines, and other media pay too much attention to the personal lives of famous people such as public figures and celebrities.Write an essay of about 400 words, expressing your views on the topic above. In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar, diction and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.。

(120’)Source Text 1:The biographer should sternly confine himself to the functions as introducer and should give no more discussion than is clearly necessary for making the book an independent whole. A little analysis of motive may be necessary here and there, when forexample, your hero has put his hand in somebody’s pocket and you have to demonstrate that his conduct was due to sheer absence of mind. But you must always remember that a single concrete fact were a saying into which man has put his soul is worth pages of psychological analysis. We may argue till Doom’s Day about Swift’s character, his singled phrase of dying like a poisoned rat in a hole, tells us more than all the commentators. The book should be the man himself speaking or acting, or nothing but the man. It should be such a portrait as reveals the essence of character. And thewriter who gives anything that does not tell upon the general effect is like the portrait painter who allows the chairs and tables, or even the coat and cravat to distract attention from the vase. The really significant anecdote is often all that survives of a life. And such anecdotes must be made to tell properly instead of being hidden away in the wilderness of the common place. They should be a focus of interest instead of a fallible abstract for a book of miscellaneous. How much would be lost of Johnson if we suppressed the incident of the penance and to(*). It is such incidents that in books as often in life suddenly reveal to us allregions of sentiment, but never rise to the surface in the ordinaryroutine of our day. Source Text 2:The term genetically modified organism (GMO) refers to plants, microbes and animals with genes transferred from other species in order to produce certain novel characteristics (for example resistance to pests, or herbicides) and are produced byrecombinant DNA technology. Four main sources of hazards of GMO are discussed by scientists worldwide:those due to the new genes, and gene products introduced; 2) unintended effects inherent to the teclinology; 3) interactions between foreign genes and host genes; and 4) those arising from the spread of the introduced genes by ordinary cross-pollination as well as by horizontal gene transfer.GM crops contain material, which is not present in them under natural conditions, and they form a part of our daily diet. To understand what effect they can have on us and on our animaJs, it is very important to study the influence of these GM plants in different organisms for several generations. At present, these studies are lackii.j from the scientific literature. Also, several detrimental effects of GM crops had been showed on themetabolism of animals. The hazard of GMO was shown for animals and the environment in many investigations. Earlier it was shown that consumption of GM food by animals led to the negativechanges in their organisms. Experiments, conducted by A. Pusztai showed that potatoes modified by the insertion of the gene of snowdrop lectin (雪花莲凝集素),stunled the growth of rats,significantly affected some of their vital organs, including thekidneys, thymus (陶腺)，gastrocnemius muscles (聪肠肌）and others and damaged their intestines and their immune system.

Skin is important (the cosmetics industry proves that). But so is what lies under it. In particular, the shape of people’s faces, determined by their bone structure, contributes enormously to how beautiful they are. And, since the ultimatepoint of beauty is to signal who is a good prospect as a mate, what makes aface beautiful is not only an aesthetic matter but also a biological one. Howthose bone structures arise, and how they communicate desirable traits, arebig evolutionary questions.Until now, experiments to try to determine the biological basis of beauty have been of the please-look-at-these-photographs-and-answer-some-questions variety. Some useful and not necessarily obvious results have emerged, such as that one determinant of beauty is facial symmetry.But what would really help is a breeding experiment which allowed the shapes of faces to be followed across the generations to see how those shapes relate to variations in things that might be desirable in a mate. These might include fertility, fecundity, social status, present health, and likely resistance to future infection and infestation. Correlations between many of these phenomena and attributes of the body-beautiful have, indeed, been established. But in a pair-forming, highly social species such as Homo sapiens, you also have to live with your co-child-raiser or, at least, collaborate with him or her. So other things may be important in a mate, too, such as an even temper and a friendly outlook.It would be impossible to do such a breeding experiment on people, of course. But as Irene Elia, a biological anthropologist at Cambridge, realised, it has in fact been done, for the past five decades, on a different species of animal. Dr Elia has published her analysis of this experiment in the Quarterly Review of Biology. The animals in question are foxes.参考译文：俗话说，美貌不过是一张皮。

Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions: This part consists of two sections. In Section A, there are four passages followed by a total of 20 multiple-choice questions. In SectionB, there is one passage followed by a total of 5 short-answer questions.Read the passages and write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Section A Multiple-Choice Questions (30%)Passage 1Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Three hundred years ago news travelled by word of mouth or 1etter, and circulated in taverns and coffee houses in the form of pamphlets and newsletters. “The coffee houses particularly are very roomy for a free conversation, and for reading at an easier rate all manner of printed news,” noted one observer. Everything changed in 1833 when the first mass-audience newspaper, The New York Sun, pioneered the use of advertising to reduce the cost of news, thus giving advertisers access to a wider audience. The penny press, followed by radio and television, turned news from a two-way conversation into a one-way broadcast, with a relatively small number of firms controlling the media.Now, the news industry is returning to something closer to the coffee house. The internet is making news more participatory, social and diverse, reviving the discursive characteristics of the era before the mass media. That will have profound effects on society and politics. In much of the world, the mass media are flourishing. Newspaper circulation rose globally by 6% between 2005 and 2009. But those global figures mask a sharp decline in readership in rich countries.Over the past decade, throughout the western world, people have been giving up newspapers and TV news and keeping up with events in profoundly different ways. Most strikingly, ordinary people are increasingly involved in compiling, sharing, filtering, discussing and distributing news. Twitter lets people anywhere report what they are seeing. Classified documents are published in their thousands online. Mobile phone footage of Arab uprisings and American tornadoes is posted on social-networking sites and shown on television newscasts. Social-networking sites help people find, discuss and share news with their friends.And it is not just readers who are challenging the media elite. Technology firmsincluding Google, Facebook and Twitter have become important conduits of news. Celebrities and world leaders publish updates directly via social networks; many countries now make raw data available through “open government” initiatives. The internet lets people read newspapers or watch television channels from around the world. The web has allowed new providers of news, from individual bloggers to sites, to rise to prominence in a very short space of time. And it has made possible entirely new approaches to journalism, such as that practiced by WikiLeaks, which provides an anonymous way for whistleblowers to publish documents. The news agenda is no longer controlled by a few press barons and state outlets.In principle, every liberal should celebrate this. A more participatory and social news environment, with a remarkable diversity and range of news sources, is a good thing. The transformation of the news business is unstoppable, and attempts to reverse it are doomed to failure. As producers of new journalism, individuals can be scrupulous with facts and transparent with their sources. As consumers, they can be general in their tastes and demanding in their standards. And although this transformation does raise concerns, there is much to celebrate in the noisy, diverse, vociferous, argumentative and stridently alive environment of the news business in the ages of the internet. The coffee house is back. Enjoy it.31. According to the passage, what initiated the transformation of coffee-house news to mass-media news?A. The appearance of big mass media firms.B. The emergence of advertising in newspapers.C. The popularity of radio and television.D. The increasing number of newspaper readers.32. Which of the following statements best supports “Now, the news industry is returning to something closer to the coffee house”?A. Newspaper circulation rose globally by 6％between 2005 and 2009.B. People in the Western world are giving up newspapers and TV news.C. Classified documents are published in their thousands online.D. More people are involved in finding, discussing and distributing news.33. According to the passage, which is NOT a role played by information technology?A. Challenging the traditional media.B. Planning the return to coffee-house news.C. Providing people with access to classified files.D. Giving ordinary people the chance to provide news.34. In “The coffee house is back”, coffee house best symbolizes ________.A. the changing characteristics of news audienceB. the more diversified means of news distributionC. the participatory nature of newsD. the more varied sources of news35. The author’s tone in the last paragraph towards new journalism is ________.A. optimistic and cautiousB. supportive and skepticalC. doubtful and reservedD. ambiguous and cautiousPassage 2Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The Welsh language has always been the ultimate marker of Welsh identity, but a generation ago it looked as if Welsh would go the way of Manx, once widely spoken on the Isle of Man but now extinct. Government financing and central planning, however, have helped reverse the decline of Welsh. Road signs and official public documents are written in both Welsh and English, and schoolchildren are requiredto learn both languages. Welsh is now one of the most successful of Europe’s regional languages, spoken by more than a half-million of the country’s three million people.The revival of the language, particularly among young people, is part of a resurgence of national identity sweeping through this small, proud nation. Last month Wales marked the second anniversary of the opening of the National Assembly, the first parliament to be convened here since 1404. The idea behind devolution was to restore the balance within the union of nations making up the United Kingdom. With most of the people and wealth, England has always had bragging rights. The partial transfer of legislative powers from Westminster, implemented by Tony Blair, was designed to give the other members of the club – Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales – a bigger say and to counter centrifugal forces that seemed to threaten the very idea of the union.The Welsh showed little enthusiasm for devolution. Whereas the Scots voted overwhelmingly for a parliament, the vote for a Welsh assembly scraped through by less than one percent on a turnout of less than 25 percent. Its powers were proportionately limited. The Assembly can decide how money from Westminster or the European Union is spent. It cannot, unlike its counterpart in Edinburgh, enact laws. But now that it is here, the Welsh are growing to like their Assembly. Many people would like it to have more powers. Its importance as figurehead will grow with the opening in 2003, of a new debating chamber, one of many new buildings that are transforming Cardiff from a decaying seaport into a Baltimore-style waterfront city. Meanwhile a grant of nearly two million dollars from the European Union will tackle poverty. Wales is one of the poorest regions in Western Europe – only Spain, Portugal, and Greece have a lower standard of living.Newspapers and magazines are filled with stories about great Welsh men and women, boosting self-esteem. To familiar faces such as Dylan Thomas and Richard Burton have been added new icons such as Catherine Zeta-Jones, the movie star, and Bryn Terfel, the opera singer. Indigenous foods like salt marsh lamb are in vogue. And Wales now boasts a national airline, Awyr Cymru. Cymru, which means “land of compatriots,”is the Welsh name for Wales. The red dragon, the nation’s symbol since the time of King Arthur, is everywhere – on T-shirts, rugby jerseys and even cell phone covers.“Until very recent times most Welsh people had this feeling of being second-class citizens,” said Dyfan Jones, an 18-year-old student. It was a warm summer night, and I was sitting on the grass with a group of young people in Llanelli, an industrial town in the south, outside the rock music venue of the National Eisteddfod, Wales’s annual cultural festival. The disused factory in front of us echoed to the sounds of new Welsh bands.“There was almost a genetic tendency for lack of confidence,” Dyfan continued. Equally comfortable in his Welshness as in his membership in the English-speaking, global youth culture and the new federal Europe, Dyfan, like the rest of his generation, is growing up with a sense of possibility unimaginable ten years ago. “We used to think. We can’t do anything, we’re only Welsh. Now I think that’s changing.”36. According to the passage, devolution was mainly meant to ________.A. maintain the present status among the nationsB. reduce legislative powers of EnglandC. create a better state of equality among the nationsD. grant more say to all the nations in the union37. The word “centrifugal” in the second paragraph means ________.A. separatistB. traditionalC. feudalD. political38. Wales is different from Scotland in all the following aspects EXCEPT ________.A. people’s desire for devolutionB. powers of the legislative bodyC. status of the national languageD. locals’ turnout for the voting39. Which of the following is NOT cited as an example of the resurgence of Welsh national identity?A. Welsh has witnessed a revival as a national language.B. Poverty-relief funds have been allocated by the European Union.C. A Welsh national airline is currently in operation.D. The national symbol has become a familiar sight.40. According to Dyfan Jones, what has changed is ________.A. people’s mentalityB. pop cultureC. town’s appearanceD. possibilities for the peoplePassage 3Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Just how much does the Constitution protect your digital data? The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling, particularly one that upsets the old assumptions that authorities may search through the possessions of suspects at the time of their arrest. It is hard, the state argues, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies.The court would be recklessly modest if it followed California's advice. Enoughof the implications are discernable, even obvious, so that the justice can and should provide updated guidelines to police, lawyers and defendants.They should start by discarding California’s lame argument that exploring the contents of a smartphone – a vast storehouse of digital information – is similar to, say, going through a suspect’s purse. The court has ruled that police don’t violate the Fourth Amendment when they go through the wallet or pocketbook of an arrestee without a warrant. But exploring one’s smartphone is more like entering his or her home. A smartphone may contain an arrestee’s reading history, financial history, medical history and comprehensive records of recent correspondence. The development of “cloud computing,” meanwhile, has made that exploration so much easier.Americans should take steps to protect their digital privacy. But keeping sensitive information on these devices is increasingly a requirement of normal life. Citizens still have a right to expect private documents to remain private and protected by the Constitution’s prohibition on unreasonable searches.As so often is the case, stating that principle doesn’t ease the challenge of line-drawing. In many cases, it would not be overly onerous for authorities to obtain a warrant to search through phone contents. They could still invalidate Fourth Amendment protections when facing severe, urgent circumstances, and they could take reasonable measures to ensure that phone data are not erased or altered while a warrant is pending. The court, though, may want to allow room for police to cite situations where they are entitled to more freedom.But the justices should not swallow California’s argument whole. New, disruptive technology sometimes demands novel applications of the Constitution’s protections. Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st century with the establishment of automobile use as a digital necessity of life in the 20th: The justices had to specify novel rules for the new personal domain of the passenger car then; they must sort out how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital information now.41. The Supreme Court will work out whether, during an arrest, it is legitimate to ________.A. search for suspects’ mobile phones without being authorizedB. check suspects’ phone contents without being authorizedC. prevent suspects from deleting their phone contentsD. prohibit suspects from using their mobile phones42. The author’s attitude toward California’s argument is one of ________.A. disapprovalB. neutralityC. toleranceD. cautiousness43. The author believes that exploring one’s phone contents is comparable to ________.A. getting into one’s residenceB. handing one’s historical recordsC. scanning one’s correspondencesD. going through one’s wallet44. In Paragraphs 5 and 6, the author shows his concern that ________.A. principles are hard to be clearly expressedB. the court is giving police less room for actionC. phones are used to store sensitive informationD. citizens’ privacy is not effectively protected45.Orin Kerr’s comparison is quoted to indicate that ________.A. the Constitution should be implemented flexiblyB. new technology requires reinterpretation of the ConstitutionC. California’s argument violates principles of the ConstitutionD. Principles of the Constitution should never be alteredPassage 4Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Many things make people think artists are weird and the weirdest may be this: artists’ only job is to explore emotions, and yet they choose to focus on the ones that feel bad.This wasn’t always so. The earliest forms of art, like painting and music, are those best suited for expressing joy. But somewhere in the 19th century, more artists began seeing happiness as insipid, phony or, worst of all, boring as we went from Wordsworth’s daffodils to Baudelaire’s flowers of evil.You could argue that art became more skeptical of happiness because modern times have seen such misery. But it’s not as if earlier times didn’t know perpetual war, disaster and the massacre of innocents. The reason, in fact, may be just the opposite: there is too much damn happiness in the world today.After all, what is the one modern form of expression almost completely dedicated to depicting happiness? Advertising. The rise of anti-happy art almost exactly tracks the emergence of mass media, and with it, a commercial culture in which happiness is not just an ideal but an ideology.People in earlier eras were surrounded by reminders of misery. They worked until exhausted, lived with few protections and died young. In the West, before mass communication and literacy, the most powerful mass medium was the church, which reminded worshippers that their souls were in peril and that they would someday bemeat for worms. Given all this, they did not exactly need their art to be a bummer too.Today the messages your average Westerner is bombarded with are not religious but commercial, and forever happy. Fast-food eaters, news anchors, text messengers, all smiling, smiling. Our magazines feature beaming celebrities and happy families in perfect homes. And since these messages have an agenda – to lure us to open our wallets – they make the very idea of happiness seem unreliable. “Celebrate!”commanded the ads for the arthritis drug Celebrex, before we found out it could increase the risk of heart attacks.What we forget – what our economy depends on is forgetting – is that happiness is more than pleasure without pain. The things that bring the greatest joy carry the greatest potential for loss and disappointment. Today, surrounded by promises of easy happiness, we need someone to tell us as religion once did, Memento mori: remember that you will die, that everything ends, and that happiness comes not in denying this but in living with it.

More than half of all U.S. workers either lost their jobs or were forced to take cuts in hours or pay during the recession. The worst may be behind them now, but the shocking losses of the past few years have reshaped nearly every facet of their lives – how they live, work and spend – even the way they think about the future.For Cindy, the recession began when her husband was relocated to Rhinelander,Wisconsin by his company forcing the family to move in a hurry. The couple bought a new house but were unable to sell their two-bedroom home in Big Lake, Minnesota. With two mortgages and two young children to care for, Cindy couldn’t imagine how to stretch her husband’s paycheck to keep her family fed.Then she stumbled upon an online community called Blotanical, a forum for gardeners, many with an interest in sustainability. “The more I read and discussed these practices, the more I realized this would help not only our budget but also our health,” she says.Cindy admits that before the recession, she was a city girl with no interest in growing her own dinner. “I grew flowers mostly – I didn’t think about plants that weren’t visually interesting.” But to stretch her budget, she began putting in vegetables and fruit – everything from strawberry beds to apple trees – and as her first seedlings grew, her spirits lifted. She no longer thinks of gardening and making her own jams as just a money saver; they’re a genuine pleasure. “It’s brought us closer together as a family, too,” she says. Her kids voluntarily pitch in with the garden work, and the family cooks together instead of eating out. The food tastes better – it’s fresher and organic – and the garden handily fulfills its original purpose: cost cutting. Now she spends about $200 to $300 a month on groceries, less than half of the $650 a month that she used to lay out.After discovering how resourceful she can be in tough times, Cindy is no longer easily discouraged. “It makes me feel proud to be able to say I made it myself,”she says. “I feel accomplished, and I’m more confident about attempting things I’ve never done before.” Now she avoids convenience stores and has begun learning to knit, quilt and make her own soap. “I don’t think I would have ever begun this journey if it weren’t for the recession,” she says. “I have a feeling that from now on, it will affect my family’s health and happiness for the better.”51. What can you learn about the impact of the recession from the first paragraph?52. What made the family’s financial situation even worse?53. What did Cindy grow in her garden?54. Why does Cindy view gardening as a genuine pleasure?55. What does Cindy think of the difficult times she has gone through?III.
