听力原文： I was recently working with some sixth form. comprehensive school students, when a television company asked for permission to come in and make a short film of our activities. The arrival of the cameras and crew was a major event. The setting up of the equipment, the conversion of the classroom into a mini-studio, and the sheer presence of so many television personnel (10 in all) all made this into a special occasion. On the day of filming I was better prepared than usual, and chose to wear clothes which I fancied might have some visual appeal. So did the students.
The session itself was disappointing. The camera and lights were frightening to us all and even normally active students were reluctant to attempt an opinion. Every time one of them spoke, every pieced available equipment was turned towards her.
Fortunately, this was part of a program about interesting developments in education, so the director intervened in order to encourage the kind of lively responses she was looking for. "If you don't speak up and get involved." she told the students, "then you won't be on television." The effect was immediate. The students began to go over-the-top in their attempts to attract attention. When someone said something of interest the director stopped the discussion, focused the camera and lights on her and asked her to repeat it. All of my contributions to the discussion were reshot at the end, after the students had left, and cut into the final film. Nothing could have been further removed from our normal way of working.
(26)

We have made ______ attempts to solve the problem，but so far our efforts have been unsuccessful．
我们作了许多尝试来解决这个难题，但是到目前为止，我们的努力还没有成功。
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (承担的义务), self-improvement.
Ask a bachelor (单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or a three-day vacation. I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children, But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money; buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ______.
A．he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities
B．he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single
C．he finds more fun in dating than in marriage
D．he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement
We are all addicted to falling in love. But after we've "fallen" a few times and broken our emotional hones, we hope fully wise up a bit. We know that the high of falling in love is not going to last. We know that sooner or later we will have to get real with each other. That is the difference between romance and partnership. Romance is an attempt to keep the ad diction going. It has a very short half-life. Partnership is the dance of two ordinary people learning to live together day by day. It is a very challenging school that we enroll in. It is sometimes a lot more work than play. And it certainly requires a lot more psychological adjustment than years of therapy! We don't just graduate from this school in a year or two. It takes many years, perhaps even a lifetime, for us to master the curriculum.
Your partners are imperfect human beings, just like you. They were not the "wrong" partners any more than you were. Probably, they reflected your own level of realism and emotional maturity. That's usually the way it works. So don't waste your time thinking you simply made some bad choices. The only bad choice you made was forgetting who has the full time job loving you. I know that you know who this is!
We keep remembering that they are not perfect, nor we are. Love is not a game of perfection. It is a game of over whelming imperfection. The amazing thing is that love survives all of our mistaken attempts to control our partners and our relationships.
We can conclude from the passage that ______.
A．we won't forget who has the full time loving us
B．love is addictive
C．love from your partner is not enough
D．love lies in the maturity of emotion which is essential to a partnership or relationship
