单选题 {{B}}Money and Love{{/B}} When the Romantic Movement was still in its first favor, it was a common matter of debate{{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}people should marry for love or for money. The young people concerned usually favored love, and their parents usually favored money. In the novels of the period the dilemma was felicitously (巧妙地) solved by the discovery,{{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}the last page{{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}the apparently penniless heroine was really a great heiress. But in real life young men{{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}hoped for this denouement (结局) were apt to be disappointed. Prudent parents,{{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}admitting that their daughters should marry for love, took care{{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}all the young men they met should be rich. This method was sometimes very successful; it was adopted, for example, by my maternal grandfather, who had{{U}} {{U}} 7 {{/U}} {{/U}}romantic daughters, none of{{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}}married badly. In these days of psychology the matter no{{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}looks so simple as it did eighty years ago. We realize now that money may be the cause, or part of the cause, of quite genuine love; of this there are notable examples in history. Benjamin Disraeli,{{U}} {{U}} 10 {{/U}} {{/U}}became lord Beaconsfield,{{U}} {{U}} 11 {{/U}} {{/U}}in his youth, poor and struggling and passionately ambitious. He married a rich widow, much{{U}} {{U}} 12 {{/U}} {{/U}}than himself, and{{U}} {{U}} 13 {{/U}} {{/U}}by the world to be rather silly. Owing{{U}} {{U}} 14 {{/U}} {{/U}}her, he was able to make his career a success. A cynical world naturally assumed that he loved her money{{U}} {{U}} 15 {{/U}} {{/U}}than he loved her, but in this the world was mistaken; through out the whole of their married life he was deeply and genuinely devoted{{U}} {{U}} 16 {{/U}} {{/U}}her. I do not suppose he would have loved her if she had been poor when he first knew her, but the gratitude which he felt for help{{U}} {{U}} 17 {{/U}} {{/U}}he owed to her kindly interest in him easily developed into a sincere affection. A great deal of affection is based upon the fact that its object is a help in{{U}} {{U}} 18 {{/U}} {{/U}}the purposes of the person who feels it. Men in whom ambition is the leading passion are likely to love women{{U}} {{U}} 19 {{/U}} {{/U}}assist them{{U}} {{U}} 20 {{/U}} {{/U}}their career, and it would be very shallow psychology to suppose that the love is not real because it has its instinctive root in self-interest.

单选题Laziness is a sin, everyone knows that. We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons than simple wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful of their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of ridicule or fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be paralyzed by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts of fantasies may prevent work; some people are so busy planning, sometimes planning great deals or fantastic achievements that they are unable to deal with whatever "lesser" work is on hand. Still other people are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are merely procrastinating—rescheduling their day. Laziness can actually be helpful. Like procrastinators(拖延者),some people may look lazy when they are really thinking planning, contemplating, researching. We should all remember that some great scientific discoveries occurred by chance or while someone was "goofing off(游手好闲)". Newton wasn't working in the orchard when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. All of us would like to have someone "lazy" build the ear or stove we buy, particularly if that "laziness" were caused by the worker's taking time to check each step of his work and to do his job right. And sometimes, being "lazy"—that is,taking time off for a rest —is good for a overworked student or executive. Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the athlete who is trying too hard or the doctor who's simply working himself overtime too many evenings, at the clinic. So be careful when you're tempted to call someone lazy. That person may be thinking, resting, or planning, his or her next book.

单选题A long-range health study in Framingham, Massachusetts, which began in 1948 and continues to this day, involves checking those who remain alive among the same 5 200 men and women every two years and carefully determining the causes of any deaths occurring in the group. A rather astonishing conclusion that became known in 1980 was that the lightest men had the shortest life expectancy (预期寿命) while the only others for whom weight seemed to have a significant (有意义的，重要的) opposite effect on life expectancy were those who weighed more than 25% above the national average. Much the same was true of women, with those in the lightest and heaviest groups dying earliest. These results certainly threw many doubts on the validity (有效性) of the Ideal (理想的) Weights tables in use since the forties which speak in favor of weight to height ratios (比率) well be low the national average. Indeed, they suggest that if any such idea] exists, it is slightly above the average, whatever fashion may be.
