    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    Have you ever wished you could solve complex math problems without thinking? What about learning to play the piano in just three days? Or mastering several foreign languages within a month?
    Eddie Morra, the main character in the movie Limitless can do all these things. But he isn’t Superman or Harry Potter. Eddie has taken pills called NZT.
    Thriller Limitless came out in China on October 13. In the movie, Eddie is faced with “writer’s block”. He hasn’t written a single word of a novel, and his deadline has passed. And there’s more bad news: his girlfriend breaks up with him. By chance, Eddie runs into a relative who is a drug dealer. He gives Eddie some pills called NZT that allow people to make use of 100 percent of their brains. With the magic pills, Eddie’s life changes completely. He can recall everything he has ever read, seen or heard. He gains a sixth sense that allows him to predict future events. He even becomes a kungfu master by simply memorizing actions in Bruce Lee’s movie.
    Before long he has finished his novel, won back his girlfriend and stepped into the financial world. He becomes rich incredibly quickly and is soon employed by a powerful Wall Street company. However, bad side effects are just around the corner. The effects of the pill last for only one or two days, and Eddie has to find more supplies of the pills. Meanwhile, the pills start to have other effects on him. Eddies’ mind loses the ability to control the actions of his body. What does destiny hold for him? Will he be able to go back to his normal life?
    “Eddie’s fate turns out to be a barbed （讽刺的） joke… a sharp-eyed comic fable for an age of greed (贪婪)and speed.” writes A. O. Scott, a movie critic with the New York Times.
    The drug isn’t real-----yet, some researchers say such memory-enhancing drugs might not be far off. Would you take such a pill despite its side effects? Is the ability to remember everything a blessing or a curse?
    【小题1】Which of the following happened to Eddie after he took the pill?

    A．He can easily call everyone in the world.
    B．He can expect what will happen next with his sixth sense.
    C．He can control a powerful Wall Street company and becomes rich.
    D．He can make a special pill to improve his own memory.
    【小题2】What’s A. O. Scott’s opinion of the movie?

    B. The movie turned out to be only a joke.

    　　When people ask me why I’m so negative, I always tell them I’m simply looking out for my best interests and everyone else’s．But negativity gets a bad reputation．Everywhere you look, someone’s talking about the power of positive thinking．

    　　My life is good and I contribute it to imagining the worse and then being pleasantly surprised when the worst doesn’t happen．Last week, I read about a report out of the Netherlands suggesting this outlook increases my chances of dying from heart disease．

    　　This news might have moved me to change my ways, but then I saw an article about some new data from Denmark．Over the last three decades, Danes have been shown to have higher rates of “life satisfaction” than any other Western country．Their key to contentment? Low expectations．

    　　As the article explained, Danes know they don’t come from the largest, blondest or most temperate nation on the earth．They don’t expect to be the winners of any game．So when good things happen, they are that much happier．

    　　This is the philosophy I’ve been living for years．It’s why I go to every party expecting to have a miserable time and leave for every vacation thinking it will rain．These things rarely happen, so every time things don’t turn out so bad, I’m relieved and joyful．That’s the power of negative thinking．

    　　I strongly doubt if there is a sense of contentment being too positive, especially when expectation gets confused with hope．Americans seem unable to separate these ideas．Our entire belief is wrapped up in the myth of turning dreams into reality, of constantly reaching for higher goals, of never settling．Obviously, this can-do spirit turned us into the most powerful nation in the world．But I’ve always thought we would get better results with a belief like “the pursuit of contentment”．

    　　It is interesting how it sounds strange that people often hope to get the best, while making preparations for the worst”．But that’s the problem with positive thinking．Because it ignores satisfaction, which is really desirable, and runs after high expectations, which are less likely to be achieved．So let’s stop being so optimistic．

    (1)

    What is the main reason why Danes have higher rates of “life satisfaction”?

    [　　]

    C．

    God helps those who help themselves．

    D．

    Nothing is impossible to a willing heart．
