Question

I remember the first time that I was extremely happy. I was about 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code(編碼) for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself an infinite number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introduction to algebra, and I didn't even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life. I was quite excited because of what I was learning and what I was able to do. As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them too.

I've noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth, and achievements.

Success, wealth, or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. Please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.

試題分析：文章講述了一個生活道理。作者認為，滿懷熱情、擁有健康的身體是生活得幸福的關(guān)鍵，熱情和健康也能帶來自信、成功和財富。但是，成功和財富并不總意味著幸福，有很多有錢人生活得并不開心。

1.This was a decisive moment in my life. ...As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them too.”可知，作者小時候通過更改游戲的源代碼給自己設(shè)置了幾個擁有無限的生命的角色，作者驚訝于自己的自學(xué)能力和在電腦方面的天賦，作者長大后也一直致力于自學(xué)和電腦科學(xué)，故選D。

2.so I could continue playing it forever.”可知，作者可以無限制地玩游戲，因為他給自己設(shè)置了無限的生命，故選B。

3.This was also my first introduction to algebra ...I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them too”和第二段“I've noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do.”可知，作者小時候表現(xiàn)出了驚人的計算天賦，長大以后，他依然在學(xué)習(xí)和研究電腦方面的知識。作者發(fā)現(xiàn)，對生活滿意的人，都在做著自己喜歡的事情。由此可知，興趣是最好的老師，故選A。

4.people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do ...This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy.”可知，作者認為，熱情和健康是幸福的關(guān)鍵，故選C。
