Many people think that when they become rich and successful, happiness will naturally follow. Let me tell you that certainly nothing is further  61 the truth. The world is full of very rich people who are  62 miserable as hell. We have all read stories about movie stars  63  suicide or dying from drugs. Quite clearly, money is not the  64 to all problems.

Wealth achieved through dishonest  65 does not bring happiness. Lottery winnings do not bring happiness. Wealth  66 by parents does not bring happiness. In fact, money alone is almost worthless.  67 you have both self-esteem and money, however, you are well  68 the way to happiness. What is missing in both self-esteem and money is productive  69 and a real contribution towards the happiness of   70  . The secret to happiness lies in such contribution.

Twelve-year-old Mathew loves reading. Until recently, advertisements were the only reading materials available  51 the boy. So he approached his mailman to ask if he had any junk mail.

Lynch thought the Facebook post might bring in 50 to 60 books. But his  58 was widely spread online. People from around the world have sent books. Hundreds of books have been  59 to the boy's door so far, and Mathew said he was surprised by the generosity. “I thought they were  60 , but they were for me.” He said he can't wait to share the books with other kids, and has promised to read every one.

What is the author's attitude towards vending machines?

startle

What is the cause of the increasing popularity of vending machines in Japan?

What does the underlined word “saturation”(Para.4) mean?

Why is the nearest vending machine in American or Britain probably empty?

Passage 2

What do video cassettes, ice cream, pizzas, whisky and bouquets of flowers all have in common? The answer is that in Japan they can all be bought from a vending machine (自动售货机). Japan boasts more vending machines per person than any other country in the world, with one for every 22 people. America, by contrast, has one for every 46; the European community only for every 200.

Japanese vending machines are also more productive and sales per machine are almost two-thirds higher than in America, because the Japanese machines sell high-value products, like whisky, as well as the usual Coca-cola and gum.

Want a cigarette or a bar of chocolate? In America or Britain the nearest vending machine is probably damaged, empty, or accepts only the right money in the wrong coins. Thanks to its low crime-rates and sophisticated electronics, Japan's vending machines are much more reliable. They are also less likely to run out, thanks to on-line monitoring of stocks.

Despite what looks likesaturation by anyone else's standards, the number of vending machines in Japan is set to grow. This is because the labour-saving advantages of vending machines have yet to be fully exploited. Declining birth rates, an aging population and tight controls on immigration are creating a shortage of low-wage workers in Japan and boosting the demand for ever cleverer machines. One of the fastest growing sectors is heated food such as pizzas. A vending machine can replace waitresses in hamburger joints, ticket vendors in cinemas and counter staff in all-night stores.

The latest trend is vending machines that sell love. Men looking for a girl-friend or women for a boy-friend can pay to have their vital statistics fed into the love machine including their name, telephone number and, more important of all, the kind of car they drive. Then they can get information about their ideal life partner.

What is the purpose of the question raised at the beginning of the article?

How did the author feel about his father's reply?

Which of the following is TRUE about the passage?

Why did the author choose to communicate with his father through email?

Why did the author want to talk to his father one year ago?

Passage 1

It's hard to talk to dads sometimes. The roles we often expect our fathers to

play—protector, provider—can make them seemimpenetrable. That's how it was with my dad. He was never much of a talker. He rarely drank, so we didn't get to see him loosen up after a few beers. He didn't tell stories about himself at the dinner table or when we went for walks in the park. He was a private person and seemed to want to stay that way.

But when my relationship and career simultaneously took a hit a year ago, things had to change. I was facing serious questions about my own nature, and I wanted to know that he had faced them, too. I needed to know how he had found his way, because I felt like I had lost mine.

In an acute moment of desperation, it occurred to me that sending an email might be the key. I could speak at a comfortable distance and give him room to adjust. He'd be up in his office filled with bookshelves, dusty CDs and old newspapers. I'd be at my desk in a basement apartment 20 minutes away.

So I wrote him a message. I told him about my regrets and fears, and I asked him to answer, if he felt like it, and to share something about himself, something that would give me much-needed perspective on both of our lives.

Two weeks later, it showed up in my inbox: a scanned, three-page hand-written document. Dad, a 68-year-old retired technologist and grandfather of four, had carefully considered my message, reached back into his memory and crafted a response—his history of love, longing, self-doubt, struggle and persistence.
