10、et 2.Ancient Greek Wisdom Inspires Guidelines to Good LifeA Is it possible to enjoy a peaceful life in a world that is increasingly challenged by threats and uncertainties from wars, terrorism, economic crises and a widespread outbreak of infectious diseases? The answer is yes, according to a new bo

11、ok The 10 Golden Rules: Ancient Wisdom from the Greek Philosophers on Living a Good Life. The book is co-authored by Long Island Universitys philosophy professor Michael Soupios and economics professor Panos Mourdoukoutas.B The wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers is timeless, says Soupios. The

12、philosophy professor says it is as relevant today as when it was first written many centuries ago. “There is no expiration (失效) date on wisdom,” he says, “There is no shelf life on intelligence. I think that things have become very gloomy these day, lots of misunderstanding, misleading cues, a lot o

13、f what the ancients would have called sophistry (詭辯). The nice thing about ancient philosophy as offered by the Greeks is that they tended to see life clear and whole, in a way that we tend not to see life today.” Examine your lifeC Soupios, along with his co-author Panos Mourdoukoutas, developed th

14、eir 10 golden rules by turning to the men behind that philosophyAristotle, Socrates, Epictetus and Pythagoras, among others. The first ruleexamine your lifeis the common thread that runs through the entire book. Soupios says that it is based on Platos observation that the unexamined life is not wort

15、h living. “The Greeks are always concerned about boxing themselves in, in terms of convictions (信念),” he says. “So take a step back, switch off the automatic pilot and actually stop and reflect about things like our priorities, our values, and our relationships.” Stop worrying about what you can not

16、 controlD As we begin to examine our life, Soupios says, we come to Rule No.2: Worry only about things that you can control. “The individual who promoted this idea was a Stoic philosopher. His name is Epictetus,” he says. “And what the Stoics say in general is simply this: There is a larger plan in

17、life. You are not really going to be able to understand all of the dimensions of this plan. You are not going to be able to control the dimensions of this plan.”E So, Soupios explains, it is not worth it to waste our physical, intellectual and spiritual energy worrying about things that are beyond o

18、ur control. “I can not control whether or not I wind up getting the disease swine flu, for example.” He says. “I mean, there are some cautious steps I can take, but ultimately I can not guarantee myself that. So what Epictetus would say is sitting at home worrying about that would be wrong and waste

19、ful and irrational. You should live your life attempting to identify and control those things which you can genuinely control.” Seek true pleasureF To have a meaningful, happy life we need friends. But according to Aristotlea student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Greatmost relationships dont

20、 qualify as true friendships. “Just because I have a business relationship with an individual and I can profit from that relationship, it does not necessarily mean that this person is my friend,” Soupios says. “Real friendship is when two individuals share the same soul. It is a beautiful and unchar

21、acteristically poetic image that Aristotle offers.” G In our pursuit of the good life, he says, it is important to seek out true pleasuresadvice which was originally offered by Epicurus. But unlike the modern definition of Epicureanism as a life of indulgence (放縱) and luxury, for the ancient Greeks,

22、 it meant finding a state of calm, peace and mental ease. H “This was the highest and most desirable form of pleasure and happiness for the ancient Epicureans,” Soupios says. “This is something that is very much well worth considering here in the modern era. I do not think that we spend nearly enoug

23、h time trying to concentrate on achieving a sort of calmness, a sort of contentment in mental and spiritual way, which was identified by these people as the highest form of happiness and pleasure.” Do good to others I Other golden rules counsel us to master ourselves, to avoid excess and not to be a

24、 prosperous (發(fā)跡的) fool. There are also rules dealing with interpersonal relationships: Be a responsible human being and do not do evil things to others.J “This is Hesiod, of course, a younger contemporary poet, we believe, with Homer,” Soupios says. “Hesiod offers an ideawhich you very often find in

25、 some of the worlds great religions, in the Judeo-Christian tradition and in Islam and othersthat in some sense, when you hurt another human being, you hurt yourself. That damaging other people in your community and in your life, trashing relationships, results in a kind of self-inflicted (自己招致的) sp

26、iritual wound.”K Instead, Soupios says, ancient wisdom urges us to do good. Golden Rule No.10 for a good life is that kindness toward others tends to be rewarded. L “This is Aesop, the fabulist (寓言家), the man of these charming little tales, often told in terms of animals and animal relationships,” h

27、e says. “I think what Aesop was suggesting is that when you offer a good turn to another human being, one can hope that that good deed will come back and sort of pay a profit to you, the doer of the good deed. Even if there is no concrete benefit paid in response to your good deed, at the very least

28、, the doer of the good deed has the opportunity to enjoy a kind of spiritually enlightened moment.”M Soupios says following the 10 Golden Rules based on ancient wisdom can guide us to the path of the good life where we stop living as onlookers and become engaged and happier human beings. And that, h

29、e notes, is a life worth living. 注意：此部分試題請在答題卡 2 上作答。36. According to an ancient Greek philosopher, it is impossible for us to understand every aspect of our life.37. Ancient Philosophers saw life in a different light from people of today.38. Not all your business partners are your soul mates.39. We

30、 can live a peaceful life despite the various challenges of the modern world.40. The doer of a good deed can feel spiritually rewarded even when they gain no concrete benefits.41. How to achieve mental calmness and contentment is well worth our consideration today.42. Michael Soupios suggests that w

31、e should stop and think carefully about our priorities in life.43. Ancient philosophers strongly advise that we do good.44. The wise teachings of ancient Greek thinkers are timeless, and are applicable to contemporary life.45. Do harm to others and you do harm to yourself.Section CDirection: There a

32、re two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passa

33、ge OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift. It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitude

34、s toward driverless cars, there doesnt seem to be a clear generational divide. The public overall is split on whether theyd like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not. The fact that attitudes toward

35、 self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how transformative the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car nowand no one can get one yetbut among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly engaged. Actually, this isnt surprising.

36、 Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular. Older adults, especially those with limited mobility or difficulty driving on their own, are one of the classic use cases for driverless cars. This is e

37、specially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones. When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are more pronounced based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularl

38、y interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education: 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less. Where a person lives matters, too. More people who lives in cities and subur

39、bs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas. While theres reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board, a persons age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become mainstream. Once driverless cares are actually av

40、ailable for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them. 46. What happens when a new technology emerges?A) It further widens the gap between the old and the young.B) It often leads to innovations in other related fields.C) It contributes greatly to the advance of society a

41、s a whole.D) It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.47. What does the author say about the driverless car?A) It does not seem to create a generational divide.B) It will not necessarily reduce road accidents.C) It may start a revolution in the car industry.D) It has given rise

42、 to unrealistic expectations.48. Why does the driverless car appeal to some old people?A) It saves their energy. B) It helps with their mobility.C) It adds to the safety of their travel. D) It stirs up their interest in life.49. What is likely to affect ones attitude toward the driverless car?A) The

43、 location of their residence. B) The field of their special interestC) The amount of training they received. D) The length of their driving experience.50. Who are likely to be the first to buy the driverless car?A) The senior. B) The educated.C) The wealthy. D) The tech fans.Passage TwoQuestion 51 t

44、o 55 are based on the following passage.In agrarian ( 農(nóng)業(yè)的 ), pre-industrial Europe, “youd want to wake up early, start working with the sunrise, have a break to have the largest meal, and then youd go back to work,” says Ken Albala, a professor of history at the University of the Pacific, “Later, at

45、 5 or 6, youd have a smaller supper.” This comfortable cycle, in which the rhythms of the day helped shape the rhythms of the meals, gave rise to the custom of the large midday meal, eaten with the extended family. “Meals are the foundation of the family,” says Carole Counihan, a professor at Miller

46、sville University in Pensylvania, “so there was a very important interconnection between eating together” and strengthening family ties. Since industrialization, maintaining such a slow cultural metabolism has been much harder, with the long midday meal shrinking to whatever could be stuffed into a

47、lunch bucket or bought at a food stand. Certainly, there were benefits. Modern techniques for producing and shipping food led to greater variety and quantity, including a tremendous increase in the amount of animal protein and dairy products available, making us more vigorous than our ancestors. Yet

48、 plenty has been lost too, even in cultures that still live to eat. Take Italy. Its no secret that the Mediterranean diet is healthy, but it was also a joy to prepare and eat. Italians, says Counihan, traditionally began the day with a small meal. The big meal came at around 1 p.m. In between the mi

49、dday meal and a late, smaller dinner came a small snack. Today, when time zones have less and less meaning, there is little tolerance for offices closing for lunch, and worsening traffic in cities means workers cant make it home and back fast enough anyway. So the formerly small supper after sundown

50、 becomes the big meal of the day, the only one at which the family has a chance to get together. “The evening meal carries the full burden that used to be spread over two meals,” says Counihan. 51. What do we learn from the passage about people in pre-industrial Europe?A) They had to work from early

51、 morning till late at night.B) They were so busy working that they only ate simple meals.C) Their daily routine followed the rhythm of the natural cycle.D) Their life was much more comfortable than that of today.52. What does Professor Carole Counihan say about pre-industrial European families eatin

52、g meals together?A) It was helpful to maintaining a nations tradition. B) It brought family members closer to each other.C) It was characteristic of the agrarian culture. D) It enabled families to save a lot of money.53. What does “cultural metabolism” (Line 1, Para. 3) refer to?A) Evolutionary adap

53、tation. B) Changes in lifestyle.C) Social progress. D) Pace of life.54. What does the author think of the food people eat today?A) Its quality is usually guaranteed. B) It is varied, abundant and nutritious.C) It is more costly than what our ancestors ate. D) Its production depends too much on techn

54、ology.55. What does the author say about Italians of the old days?A) They enjoyed cooking as well as eating. B) They ate a big dinner late in the evening.C) They ate three meals regularly every day. D) They were expert at cooking meals.Part Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are
