Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.
Out of all the cities and towns we visited in Central Europe, the city that made the biggestimpression on me was definitely Prague(布拉格). I do not know if it is the story behind every wall,stone and bridge that left me so speechless, but to this day I have no doubt that there is no othercity in the world that can compare to Prague. With its peculiar romantic flavor, Prague to me is farmore attractive than Paris, London and New York put together.
My acquaintance with Prague started on the bus from Vienna, where I listened to a tourguide telling us the story of how the city was set up. When we arrived in Prague, the first thing wewent to see right from the hotel was, of course, the Charles Bridge. Completed in 1357, this bridgewas built on blood and eggs to hold the bricks together, and it proved to be firmer than any othermaterial. Fascinated by the fact, we went on to examine the statues on every post of the bridge,while we listened to the story behind each of them.
There were many other things that inspired and fascinated me. The whole of Prague is like afairy tale of its own, with millions of unbelievable stories running through its history. But whatimpressed me most was the sunset above the Prague Castle.
The view was just beautiful: the sun, just barely reaching the sharp peaks of the Castle; thesky with soft clouds; the sweet music of violin somewhere in the air. It is so great that it makesyou feel like time has stopped.
We spent over three weeks in Europe, and just two days in Prague. But it seems like Prague hastaken up most of my emotions and feelings. Prague is worth visiting again and again.

For a child, happiness has a magical quality. I remember making hide-outs in newly cut hay, playing cops and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking part in the school play. Of course, kids also experience lows, but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved.
For teenagers, or people under twenty, the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love, and popularity. I can still feel the agony of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to. But I also recall the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man.
In adulthood the things that bring great joy--birth, love, marriage--also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. Love may not last, sex isn't always good, loved ones die. For adults, happiness is complicated.
My dictionary explains happy as "lucky" or "fortunate", but I think a better explanation of happiness is "the capacity for enjoyment". The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to love where we please, even good health. Nowadays, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, we have turned happiness into one more thing we "gotta have". We're so self-conscious about our "right" to it that it's making us extremely unhappy. So we chase it and consider it to be the same as wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier.
While happiness may be more complex for us, the solution is the same as ever. Happiness isn't about what happens to us--it's about how we perceive what happens to us. It's the ability to find a positive for every negative, and view a setback as a challenge. It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess.
According to the author, happiness lies in the ability to ______.
A.think of something extraordinary
B.experience delight at an old age
C.feel the magic quality of pleasure
D.enjoy what one has at the moment
第10题
Inns have served travelers since ancient times. (62)The emergence of the hotel as a significant commercial institution, however, is a development of the past few centuries and may be traced by, example in the U.S.. The location of hotels has always been related to the transportation available. During colonial times hotels were usually situated in seaport towns, but by the end of the 18th century, when the coach had increased travel within the U. S., many inns and hotels were constructed to offer lodgings along highway routes. (63)After the construction of railroads in the 19th century, larger hotels were built near railroad stations to accommodate railway travelers. (64)Standards of service and comfort rose appreciably and in the larger cities the types of lodging offered by certain hotels became luxurious. The old Waldorf- Astoria Hotel in New York City and the Brown Palace in Denver, Colorado, were among the first such luxury hotels, but their rates were too high for the average traveler. (65)Shortly before World War I large hotels offering many services at prices within the reach of middle-income groups were constructed.The first such institution was the Statler Hotel in Buffalo, New York, which opened in 1908. For years it served as a model for other large-city transient hotels.
第11题
I suppose that the poet will sing and the artist will paint regardless whether the world praises or blames. He has his own world and is independent of his fellow-men. But the handicraftsman is dependent on your pleasure and opinion. He needs your encouragement and he must have beautiful surroundings. Your people love art but do not sufficiently honor the handicraftsman. I find one great trouble all over is that your workmen are not given to noble designs. You cannot be indifferent to this, because art is not something which you can take or leave. It is a necessity of human life.
And what is the meaning of this beautiful decoration which we call art? In the first place, it means value to the workman and it means the pleasure which he must necessarily take in making a beautiful thing. The mark of all good art is not that the thing done is done exactly or finely, for machinery may do as much, but that it is worked out with the head and the workman's heart. I cannot impress the point too frequently that beautiful and rational designs are necessary in all work. I did not imagine, until I went into some of your simpler cities, that there was so much bad work done. I found bad wall-papers horribly designed, and colored carpets, and that old offender the horse-hair sofa, whose stolid look of indifference is always so depressing. I found meaningless chandeliers and machine-made furniture. I came across the small iron stove which they always persist in decorating with machine-made ornaments, and which is as great a bore as a wet day or any other particularly dreadful institution.
It must always be remembered that what is well and carefully made by an honest workman, after a rational design, increases in beauty and value as the years go 'on. The old furniture brought over by the Pilgrims, two hundred years ago, which I saw in New England,: is just as good and as beautiful today as it was when it first came here. Now, what you must do is to bring artists and handicraftsmen together. Handicraftsmen cannot live, certainly cannot thrive, without such companionship. Separate these two and you rob art of all spiritual
Having done this, you must place your workman in the midst of beautiful surroundings. The artist is not dependent on the visible and the tangible. He has his visions and his dreams to feed on. But the workman must see lovely forms as he goes to his work in the morning and returns at eventide. And, in connection with this, I want to assure you that noble and beautiful designs are never the result of idle fancy or purposeless day-dreaming. They come only as the accumulation of habits of long and delightful observation. And yet such things may not be taught. Right ideas concerning them can certainly be obtained only by those who have been accustomed to rooms that are beautiful and colors that are satisfying.
This passage seems to be part of a______.
A.public lecture
B.public statement
C.magazine article
D.newspaper report
