1.[A]第3段第2句解释了单身汉为什么不愿结婚的原因，A项的reluctanttotakeonfamilyresponsibilities是对原文中afraidofmakingacommitment的同义替换,故选A。本题中D项的干扰性比较强，但这不是单身汉不愿结婚的直接原因，且文中也说到Marriagehassuchmoments,所以putanend的说法也不正确，故排除。

2.[C]原文第4段中说，虽然养孩子的过程实在不能算是“有趣”,但决定不要孩子的夫妇们永远也不能了解看着孩子长大的那种欢乐以及与孙儿一起玩耍的欢乐。换言之，在作者看来，养孩子虽辛苦，但也是值得的，故答案为C。

3.[B]文章最后一段最后一句说它还让我们从嫉妒中解脱出来：我们现在了解到那些总有很多乐趣的人也许根本就不幸福。这说明我们嫉妒别人是误以为那些总有很多乐趣的人很幸福，这是一种误解，故选B。

4.[D]由文章第1段和最后一段第1句可看出要理解真正的幸福就要把fun和happiness区分开，故选D。

5.[A]本题是主旨题。主旨题的答案常位于首段或结尾段。本题的答案可以在文章第1段最后一句找到：通往幸福的路上多半会涉及到痛苦，因此本题选A。D中虽也提到pain,但对分强调pain对幸福的作用，故错误。
