　　How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and the old wishing they were young again! Each age has its pleasure and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.

　　Childhood is a time when there are few responsibility. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlike that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition,life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do as what he wishes to do, he is continually being told what to do and what not to do.Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.

　　When the young man starts to make his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents; but at the time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food, his clothes and his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard,goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.

　　Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be, but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age come wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them , and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.

　　答案解析

　　1.C

　　【解析】事实细节题。题干的大意是：最幸福的人应该是哪些人。通过定位题干核心词the happiest people在文中出处，找到第一段第二行“and the happiest person is the…in useless regrets.”文中解释最幸福的人是享受每个年龄段所给予东西的那种人并且不会浪费时间在无用的遗憾上。由此得出答案C。

　　2.B

　　【解析】词义猜测题。题干的大意是：第二段第四行划线部分的单词“they“指代什么。由于代词一般指代上文提到过的事物，所以我们定位到they的出处后要往前去找。第二段第四句”In addition, life is always presenting…well known.”大意是：而且，生活总是呈现给孩子新鲜的事物----对于年纪较大的人来说已经失去兴趣的事物，因为他们太被人所熟知了。由此可知，they指的是新鲜的事物。

　　3.A

　　【解析】事实细节题。题干的大意是：一个孩子有他的痛苦是因为______。通过定位题干核心词“child”和”pains”找到第二段倒数第二句“But a child has his pains:he is not so free…and what to do”。大意是：但是一个孩子也有他的痛苦：他不是如此自由去做他希望做的事情，他不断地被告知要做什么和不要做什么。由此选A。

　　4.B

　　【解析】事实细节题。题干的大意是：当一个孩子变成一个成年人的时候，他应该_____。由于题干针对成年人进行提问，所以我们需要定位第三段。通过第三段第一句”When the young man…accept responsibility”可知该句大意：当年轻人开始自己谋生的时候，他不再受学校和父母的纪律约束，但是同时他要被迫接受责任。

　　5.D

　　【解析】主旨大意题。题干的大意是：文章最好的标题可能是______。文章第一段最后一句提到最幸福的人是享受不同年龄段所给予东西的那个人，二三四段分别从童年，青年和老年的角度探讨了他们的幸福，所以全篇探讨的即是幸福与不同年纪。
