There was once a group of young people searching everywhere for
but what they got was only annoyance, grief and misery.
So they

Socrates for advice on where happiness
37
. But
38
giving any answers, Socrates asked them to help with building a
39
first. The group of guys had to
40
the task, laying aside their own business of seeking happiness. It took them a long time to cut down a tall tree, gouging out (挖空) the center. Through painstaking effort, they made a canoe out of the tree. They launched the canoe into a river, and then
41
together in it, singing with
42
.
Socrates asked, “My children, do you have happiness now?” They answered in chorus: “We

be happier!” Socrates
44
, “That’s it!
45
you are too busy pursuing something to notice anything bitter, happiness will occur.”

52
life, and
53
tears into the light in your heart? Only in this way can we make it through and find true happiness.
So my dear friends, just remember happiness is a state of mind and a matter of
54
, and I

you all a life of happiness.

完形填空。阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
One of the political issues that is heard a lot about in the States lately is campaign（竞选）finance reform（改革）. The people who are
1
for reform usually want the 2
to pay for campaigns and/or limit the amount of money that candidates（候选人）and their 3
can spend.
One reason that reform is called for is that it costs so much to 4
for political office. Candidates have to spend a great deal of time and effort 5
money. The incumbents (those already in office) have less time to do chief jobs since they must 6
so many money raising events.
Another 7
is the fear that candidates will be owned or 8
by the “special interest groups” that give money to their campaigns. Sometimes this certainly seems to be the 9
.
On the 10
side are those who say that it doesn’t mean it’s really 11
just because you call something “reform”. They argue that the right to freedom of speech is 12
if the government can limit anyone’s ability to get his or her message out to the people.
If one person or a group of people want to tell the 13
what they think about an issue or candidate, they have to buy14
on TV, radio, and in newspapers and magazines. They might want to put up advertisements along highways and on websites. All this costs a lot of15
.
Those against laws that control or limit spending say that you don’t really have freedom of 16
or freedom of the press if you can’t get your message out. They say the government should never be able to control 17
discussions. They believe that this is most important when the voters are about to make 18
