Observe a child: any one will do. You will see that not a day passes in which he does not

find something or other to make him happy, though he may be in tears the next moment. Then look at a man: any one of us will do. You will notice that weeks and months can pass in which every day is greeted with nothing more than resignation, and endured with polite indifference. Indeed, most men are as miserable as sinners, though they are too bored to sin—perhaps their sin is their indifference. But it is true that they so seldom smile, that when they do we do not recognize their face, so distorted it is from the fixed mask we take for granted. And even then a man can not smile like a child, for a child smiles with his eyes, whereas a man smiles with his lips alone. It is not a smile, but a grin: something to do with humor, but little to do with happiness. And then, as anyone can see, there is a point(but who can define that point？)when a man becomes an old man, and then he will smile again. It would seem that happiness is something to do with simplicity, and that it is the ability to extract pleasure from the simplest things such as a peach stone, for instance.

On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the N

ational Soldiers Cemetery. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of politeness. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere.

It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked, "I have failed again." On the train back to Washington, he said sadly, "That speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed."

Some newspapers at first criticized the speech. But little by little people read the speech. They began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.

(6) Today, every American school child learns Lincoln's Gettysburg Address by heart. Now everyone thinks of it as one of the greatest speeches ever given in American history.

In 1863, Abraham Lincoln was______.

A．very critical

B．unpopular

C．very popular

D．very courteous

根据以上内容，回答下列各题。 At age 17, as a senior in high school, Kavita Shukla filed for

her second patent: a piece of paper that would transform. how food is stored and kept fresh. Ten years later, her product is being used in 35 countries, has been called "the 36 paper" and was recently launched in Whole Foods. Fresh Paper is infused with organic spices that inhibit 37 and fungal growth; when stored with produce, it can keep food fresh two to four times longer than normal--like refrigeration without electricity. The spice mixture comes from an old family recipe passed along by Shuklas grandmother, who once gave it to her after she 38 drank tap water on a visit to India. "Drink this and you wont get sick," she was told. On Friday, Shukla was joined onstage at the Women in the World Summit in New York by Rula Jebreal, a 39 and foreign-policy expert at MSNBC (微软全国有线广播电视公司).

As the discussion drew to a close, Shukla reminded inventors everywhere that complicated isnt always better: "Dont ever discount your own simple idea. "
