disinterested sources of judgments is damaged.‖ This is part of the argument that is going on at Harvard today. Another part is the argument of the militant(好戰(zhàn)的 ) : that a university is the keeper of our ideals and morals, and should not be “ disinterested” but activist in bringing the nation‘s ideals and actions together. Harvard‘s men of today seem more troubled and less sure about personal, political and academic purpose than they did at the beginning. “ They are not even clear about how they should debate and solve their problems, but they are struggling with them privately, and how they e out is certain to influence American university and political life.‖ 60. The issues in the debate on Harvard‘s goals are whether the universities should remain independent of our society and its problems, or whether they should . A. fight with the militant B. overe the widespread dependency C. take an active part in solving society‘s ills D. support our old and established institutions 61. In regard to their goals and purposes in life, the author believes that Harvard men are being . A. more sure about them B. less sure about them C. more hopeful of reaching a satisfactory answer D. pletely disappointed about ever 62. The word “ sanctuary” in paragraph 3 is .

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 brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious mitment (承擔(dān)的義務(wù) ), self improvement. Ask a bachelor(單身漢 ) 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 mitment. For mitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features. Couples with infant(嬰兒) children are lucky to get a whole night‘s sleep or a three day vacation. I don‘t know any parent who would choose 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 increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. 64. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _______ . A. he is unwilling to take on family responsibilities B. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single C. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement 65.

A. have as much fun as possible during one‘s lifetime B. make every effort to liberate oneself from pain C. put up with pain under all circumstances D. be able to distinguish happiness from fun 67. What is the author trying to tell us? A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain. B. One must know how to attain happiness. C. It is important to make mitments. D. It is pain that leads to happiness. D Professor Smith recently persuaded 35 people, 23 of them women, to keep a diary of all their absentminded actions for a fortnight. When he came to analyse their embarrassing lapses ( 差錯(cuò) ) in a scientific report, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groupings, nor did the lapses appear to be entirely random (隨機(jī)的 ). One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her dog her earrings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. ―the explanation for this is that the brain is like a puter,‖ explains the professor.
