3 . Are you happy? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happiness today?

Many have sought a variety of sources for their feelings of happiness. Some have put their heart and efforts into their work. Too many have turned to drugs and alcohol. Meanwhile, untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars, exotic (异国的) vacation homes and other popular “toys”. Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact: people are looking for a lasting source of happiness.

Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes from many people because they misunderstand the journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, “I’ll be happy when I get my new promotion,” or “I’ll be happy when I lose that extra20 pounds.” It is dangerous because it accepts that happiness is a “response” to having, being or doing something.

In life, we all experience stimulus (激励) and response. Today, some people think that an expensive car is stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is stimulus. Happiness is a response. A loving relationship is stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling: “I’ll be happy when...”

It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is not a response but a stimulus.

Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day of our lives. For unknown reason to me, many choose to be painful, unsuccessful and angry most of the time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want—we usually get things we want AFTER we choose to be happy.

1. From the second paragraph, we know too many people __________.

A．all desire exotic vacation homes

B．are not happy when they work hard

C．are not happy when they drink or take drugs

D．are happy when they possess their own expensive cars

2. Generally speaking, most people feel happy because __________.

A．they get what they want to have

B．they get a great paying job

C．they get an expensive car

D．they think happiness is rooted in their deep hearts

A．Most people today are happy.

B．Work is a necessary part in our daily life.

C．We should try to get more and then we’ll be happy.

D．If you want to get what you want, you first choose to be happy.

4. From the viewpoint of the author, happiness is __________.

A．based on our needs	B．out of reach
C．unconditional	D．limited

4 . I can’t remember a single time when my parents directly told me “I love you.” _______, I can clearly remember the day when I talked to my dad about King Lear. I told him about how _______ I felt for Lear because he was betrayed (背叛) by his daughters Goneril and Regan.

Lear, knowing that he was getting _______ and weak, decided to divide his kingdom among his _______ girls. He said that he would give the greatest share to the one who loved him _______.

In order to make Lear happy, Goneril and Regon went on cheating their father with lots of expressions of _______. Meanwhile the third daughter, Cordelia, _______ such false (虚假的) shows. She loved her father so much that she didn’t want to do as her sisters did. Soon, Lear got deeply angry and _______ the only child who truly loved him. _______, he later also got kicked out of his own by the two daughters who always said: “Dad, I love you more than __________ in the world.”

My father’s __________ to my story was the following: “That’s __________ you don’t need to say ‘I love you’. Just saying ‘I love you’ doesn’t __________ mean your love is real. But if you really love someone, you’ll show it with your __________.” So although I never __________ the words “I love you” from my parents, I always felt loved because they told me in ways that speak much louder than words.

Firstly, it is necessary for you to change your attitude to people and things around. You have to accept that people are not always friendly and that sometimes things do go wrong. The behaviors of others can be a common cause of your anger.     2     You also need to recognize that not everyone has the same thought, nor will they behave in the same way as you do. This applies to work, life, and interpersonal relationships.

    3     Once you know why you get mad, then it is possible to deal with the cause. Taking right steps to solve the potential problem will help you overcome feelings of anger.

In addition, learning to manage your anger can also do good to you.     4     It can also provide scientific solutions to your problems. This way, your anger will not survive.

What’s more, anger can work as an inspiring emotion. There are occasions when anger can be directed to help you achieve great things.     5     It drives you to make progress towards your goals, naturally reducing your feelings of anger. Use anger to help you rather than hold you back.

A．Try to get out of the habit of reacting angrily.

B．Anger of this type can be used as an encouragement.

C．Try to picture the serious results if you lose control.

D．Anger management can develop your ability to control your anger.

8 . 阅读下面短文在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

One day something that upset me happened. It brought     1     (tear) to my eyes and made me angry. The incident took me out     2    balance and disturbed my inner peace.

To restore calm, I put on my outdoor equipment, grabbed my skis (滑雪板) and     3    (go) to the park. I skied at     4    slow steady pace. I listened to the sound of the snow beneath my skis and the wind blowing through the bare branches of the trees.

I was honest with myself,     5     (acknowledge) that I was angry and could let it go. With each pass around the park, I felt my inner peace returning. I began to hear the birds singing. I noticed the wind had filled in my tracks with snow in some areas, creating a clean snowfield. I felt the     6     (strong) of my arms and legs as they worked together     7     (make) the skiing an enjoyable experience. I felt the healing power of being in nature.

I forgave     8     (I) for reacting with anger when it served no purpose. I forgave those     9    gave me cause to lose my temper. My heart     10     (fill) with light and love for all that is.

9 . Do you have one of those days when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad moods will probably go away after some time.     1    

Give yourself a positive talk.     2     Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper and then give optimistic answers. Then try your best to think and behave positively.

    3     Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster (遏制者). A person who is in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing that bad mood. However, you should pay attention to the length of time.

Avoid things that won't improve your moods. TV may not help much, because you need to increase your energy level and stimulate your mind. And before you reach for a piece of cake and coffee, think about how moods and food are linked.     4     Research shows that carbohydrates (碳水化合物) produce a calming effect on people who have a desire for   them.

Another simple way to be against unhappiness is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas, your realize you are not helpless.     5

B．Save your strength.

C．Stop and listen to what's on your mind.

D．Think about your past difficult experiences.

F．Sugar and coffee contribute to depressed moods.
