Question

I recently overheard something that surprised me. I heard that people who win the lottery (彩票) are1for about 3 weeks. And then they go back to their2state of being before they won the money.I3that they would have been happy for a much longer time.
The reason for this is that4we try to change how we feel by using something outside of ourselves，like winning the lottery，or getting a new car or house，it never5.The resulting feelings of happiness are often fleeting (飞逝的).We cannot6them for very long.In some way，it may be a good thing.It reminds us that happiness really does come from within and is7to us at any moment.True happiness has8to do with what is happening outside；it is an inside job.Happiness is a9.
We can make the decision to be happy for one day，when we10in the morning，every morning.We can find something that brings us great11，like sitting outside in the garden under an old tree and12the birds sing，or watching the dog or cat play，and just13the moment.It is our14state and we need only allow it in.At any moment，we can15，take a deep breath，and remember who we really are，and why we came here，and that truly is to16joy and the aliveness of being.
“Happiness is like a butterfly which，when run after，is always17our reach，but，if you will sit down18，may fall upon you，” said Nathaniel Hawthorne，an American novelist.So，today，no matter what is going on in your own19，stop and take a few moments to breathe deeply and just20to be happy，whatever that means to you.

作者从中彩谈起，讨论了我们在生活中如何才能获得幸福：选择幸福，你就会感到幸福。
1.C 考查形容词辨析。根据下文中的they would have been happy for a much longer time等信息可知，赢得彩票应该是高兴的。
2.A考查形容词辨析。然后他们回到赢得彩票“之前的(previous)”状态。
3.D考查动词辨析。联系文章的意思可知，作者本来“认为(thought)”他们应该高兴更长的时间，然而情况并非如此。 
4.B考查代词辨析。联系上下文的意思可知，这里指“任何时候(anytime)”我们想凭借外部事物来改变自己的感觉。
5.C考查动词辨析。根据下文中的The resulting feelings of happiness are often fleeting可知，显然这不“起作用(works)”。
6.A考查动词辨析。这种幸福感经常很快就消失了，因而无法长时间“拥有(keep)”它们。   
7.A考查形容词辨析。它会提醒我们幸福确实来自我们的内心，并且在任何时候都是“可以得到的(available)”。
8.B考查形容词辨析。根据上下文的语境可知，真正的幸福和外部的因素“没有多少(little)”关系。
9.A考查名词辨析。综合上文的意思可知，幸福是自己的一种“选择(choice)”。
10.A考查短语辨析。根据for one day的语境可知，这里指早晨“醒来(wake up)”。
11.C考查名词辨析。我们可以发现选择高兴会给自己带来很多“快乐(pleasure)”。
12.C考查动词辨析。根据句意，听鸟叫声，故答案为listening to.
13.D考查动词辨析。根据文中选择幸福的语境可知，此处指“听(listening to)”小鸟唱歌、看猫狗嬉戏，“享受(enjoy)”这样的时刻。
14.A考查形容词辨析。根据上文的意思可知，这是一种“自然的(natural)”状态，我们要允许它的存在。
15.B考查动词辨析。根据句中的语境及最后一段的stop and take a few moments to breathe deeply可知，这里指我们可以停下来做深呼吸。
16.C考查动词辨析。那才是真正地“体验(experience)”快乐。
17.A考查介词辨析。 根据此处上下文的对比意义可知，我们越是追求幸福，越是“抓不住(beyond our reach)”它。   
18.D考查副词辨析。如果你“安静地(quietly)”坐着，而不是刻意地去追求时，幸福也许就会降临到你身上。
19.C考查名词辨析。最后一句话升华总结：无论“生活(life)”中发生什么事情。
20.B考查动词辨析。联系文章意思及第三段的We can make the decision to be happy可知，这里指“下定决心(decide)”做到幸福快乐。
