[单项选择]Happiness and Sadness
Happiness and sadness are two most basic and familiar feeling for human beings. Recently, people have achieved further understanding about them.
Happiness
University of Illinois, psychologist Ed Diener, who has studied happiness for a quarter century, was in Scotland recently, explaining to members of Parliament and business leaders the value of increasing traditional measures of a country’s wealth with a national index of happiness. Such an index would measure policies known to increase people’s sense of well-being, such as democratic freedoms, access to health care and the rule of law.
Eric Wilson tried to get with the program. Urged on by friends, he bought books on how to become happier.

[单项选择]In this new era, the single most immediate and most serious challenge to America traditional identity comes from the immense and continuing immigration from Latin America, especially from Mexico, and the fertility (生育) rates of these immigrants compared to black and white American natives. Americans like to boast of their past success in assimilating (同化) millions of immigrants into their society, culture, and politics. But Americans have tended to generalize about immigrants without distinguishing among them and have focused on the economic costs and benefits of immigration, ignoring its social and cultural consequences. As a result, they have overlooked the unique characteristics and problems posed by contemporary Hispanic immigration. The extent and nature of this immigration differ fundamentally from those of previous immigration, and the assimilation successes of the past are unlikely to be copied with the contemporary flood of immigrants from Latin America. This reality poses a f
A. their strong economic and political power on world stage
B. their capability on involving other people into their culture
C. their great tolerance of the cultural features of immigrants
D. their high fertility rate of native blacks and whites

[单项选择]Troubled by the persistently poor graduation rates of basketball and football players, the National Collegiate Athletic Association plans to start punishing schools whose athletes continue to underperform in the classroom. The proposal, which is expected to adopt next month, is being proposed by NCAA President Myles Brand as the final and critical piece of a package of changes designed to boost graduation rates and put the student back into the often-mocked term, student-athlete.
Even supporters of the plan, however, worry that it will prove impractical, characterizing it as a well-intentioned idea that has been weakened by compromise and will ultimately generate more paperwork than real change. There’s also broad acknowledgement that it may cause unintended consequences of academic deception: more schools offering dishonest courses and cut-down curricula, and heightened pressure on faculty to give passing grades to keep star players qualified.
But with the continued acad

Our awareness of color is (47) conditioned by our culture, but color also probably (48) our instincts. Our psyche (心智) reacts in different ways to colors in part through subjective (49) and in part through cultural conditioning, and the two are often hard to separate.
