---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3．Input. Once the purpose is clear, the teacher puts new knowledge before the students. This might be innocent souls from childhood with lots of expectations and desires. In this way a circle of expectations and desires start moving in the mind of every person. A child finds it difficult to go with the changing world and he ends up becoming an unhappy person. Enjoying life is a great art which very few people know on this earth.

To enjoy life, a person is required to have a deep insight into life, free from all the worldly things. We all know that there are many people who, even after living in big houses, are unhappy and that there are strange wanderers (流浪者) who are in endlessly happy even though they have nothing. This is a strange reality of life which many mystics (神秘人士) around the world have tried to explain. Life looks strange to people who do not understand it and it becomes an exciting joke for those who have mastered it. Don’t take life too seriously and enjoy it fully.

Questions 49 to 52 are based on the following passage.

For an increasing number of students at American universities, old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: The graying of America means jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom （生育高峰） generation, a long life span means that the nation’s elderly population is sure to increase greatly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995.

The change brings big problems for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. “In addition to the doctors, we’re going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,” says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California’s （USC） School of Gerontology （老年学）.

Lawyers can specialize in “Elder Law”, which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination. Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,” one professor says.

B. life is full of happiness

C. happiness is how we understand and enjoy life D. happiness is a form of wealth
