汤奇荣回答:
58．B词义猜测题．根据wedonotlaughbecausewearehappy和wearehappybecausewelaugh可推测，"我们不会因为我们幸福而笑"和"我们会因为笑而开心"的意思是"相反地"，且之间有一转折连词"but"．故选B． 59．B细节理解题．根据InhisbookATouchofWonder，ArthurGordontellsofafriendofhiswhoknewhowtolaugh，可知亚瑟是威廉姆•詹姆斯书中的人物并非威廉姆•詹姆斯的朋友．所以排除选项A．根据Thoughdeafandalmostblind，hewentonworking，laughingandenjoyinghislife，可知亚瑟的朋友耳聋并且几乎失明，所以选项B是正确的．根据Bynowalltheotherpeopleinthestorefeltstrangebuttheykeptsilent．可知所有人对亚瑟朋友的行为感到奇怪，但都保持沉默，并非没有看见他．所以选项C不正确．根据Allthepeopleinthestorelaughed，可知亚瑟并没有跟生店里人的气，所以选项D是错误的．故选B． 60．C细节理解题根据We'llalwaysmeetdifficultiesandtroubles，butthehappypersonlearnshowtolaughthemoff，可知人生中难免会遇到困难和麻烦，但幸福的人要学会一笑置之．故选C．
