Ⅰ 阅读理解

Actually, all the world’s major religions teach that being hard-working in the service of others is our highest nature and thus lies at the center of a happy life.Scientific surveys and studies confirm shared rules of our faiths.Americans who prioritize(优先考虑) doing good for others are almost twice as likely to say they are very happy about their lives.In Germany, people who seek to serve society are

- 27 -

five times likelier to say they are very happy than those who do not view service as important.Selflessness and joy are connected.

This helps explain why pain and anger are sweeping through rich countries.The problem is not a lack of material riches.It is a growing number of people who feel they are no longer useful, no longer needed, and no longer one with their societies.

What can we do to help? The first answer is not systematic.It is personal.Everyone has something valuable to share.We should start each day by consciously asking ourselves，“What can I do today to appreciate the gifts that others offer me？” Each of us has the responsibility to make this a habit.

But those in positions of responsibility have a special opportunity to expand inclusion and build societies that truly need everyone.Leaders need to recognize that a compassionate(有同情心的) society must create a wealth of opportunities for meaningful work that everyone can do.They should also realize that a compassionate society must protect the weak while ensuring that these policies do not put people in pain and dependence.

Building such a society is not an easy task.Many are confused and frightened to see anger and depression sweeping like wildfire across societies that enjoy historic safety and prosperity.But people’s refusal to be content with physical and material security actually shows something beautiful：a universal human hunger to be needed.Let us work together to build a society that feeds this hunger.

【解题导语】 快乐的源泉是什么？不是你有多富裕，而在于你是否被这个社会所需要，是否能为社会做贡献。

1．What does Paragraph 1 tell us? A．Americans are happier than Germans.

B．Germans do more service work than Americans. C．The more people help others, the happier they feel. D．The more diligent people are, the better they feel.

C 解析：段落大意题。根据第一段的being hard-working in the service of others is our highest nature and thus lies at the center of a happy life以及下文所举的美国和德国的例子可知，努力服务他人是幸福的中心，即帮助他人越多，人就越幸福。

2．Why do some rich people feel painful? A．They worry about their safety.

B．They cannot feel their value to society. C．They have no talents at all.
