完形填空是《时间简史》的节选：A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits ___ the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "___ you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported ___ the back of a giant tortoise." The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?" "You're very clever, young man, very clever," said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way ___!" :g2?)Er-

Most people would find the picture of our universe as an infinite tower of tortoises rather ridiculous, but why do we think we know better? What do we know about the universe, and how do we know it? Where did the universe come from, and ___ is it going? Did the universe have a beginning, and if ___, what happened ___ then? What is the ___ of time? Will it ever come to an end? Can we go back ___ time? Recent breakthroughs in physics, and possible in part by new technology, suggest answers may seem ___ obvious to us as the earth orbiting the sun —or perhaps as ridiculous as a tower of turtles. Only time (whatever that may be) will tell. 'I( $IM

翻译：有人说，幸福就是一种感觉。这话没错。在农耕社会，风调雨顺、庄稼丰收是幸福的，再加上人丁兴盛、六畜兴旺则更是幸福的；耕读传家之家族，有人金榜题名，整个家族的人是幸福的，荣耀地幸福着。而在如今这物质主义泛滥的年代，每个人都在追逐着名和利，倘若突然一问：你幸福吗？相信很多人都会回不过神来。因为，过多的压力已经销蚀了我们的幸福感。无怪乎央视在《你幸福吗》栏目调查中，会有如务工人员一样“我姓曾”的回答，更有如莫言一样“我不知道”的回答——不管是务工人员，还是莫言，都有各自所面临的压力。 A1 {P"p!

Some say happiness is but a feeling, and nothing could be truer. In a bygone agricultural society, favorable weather and bumper harvests would bring happiness to a whole community, and a feeling of being doubly blessed would prevail if there was also a baby boom accompanied by thriving livestock populations. For a clan that valued farming and letters, all its members would be feeling on top of the world if one of them was successful in an imperial exam. However, in today’s materialistic world where everyone seems to be in a hot pursuit of fame and wealth, people would be at a loss if asked “Are you happy?” Indeed, too much stress has eroded our sense of happiness. No wonder when some migrant workers were asked if they were happy in a CCTV happiness survey, their answer was “I don’t know”, just like that of Mo Yan, a famed writer. After all, migrant works and folks like Mo Yan are all experiencing stress, albeit in different ways. } Ga@bY6
