A couple of years ago, a minister(牧师) in an American church got fed up with listening to the people in his church complaining. They were complaining about little   36 : the service(礼拜仪式) was too long, the service was too short; they didn’t like the choice of   37    they had to sing in church. He felt all this complaining was   38   everyone feel negative. So, he   39    to do something about it.
He gave the people in his church a(n)  40  : try to stop complaining for 21   41  .And not just about the church, about everything! He   42    gave each person in the church a purple bracelet(手镯) to wear on their wrists. The bracelet was to   43    them not to complain.  44   , after three weeks of not complaining, people said they felt happier. They  45    that the less they complained, the happier their lives became.
Complaining seems to be part of our human nature. Life,  46  , is full of difficulties. It is   47   to feel disappointed, irritated and unhappy at times. The real problem,  48  , comes when we take those negative inner feeelings and   49  them out loud. Somehow, it makes everything   50  . The more we complain, the worse we feel; the worse we feel, the more we complain. And it   51  everyone around us, too. It can become a virus of negativity.
Doctors say that complaining is aslo  52  for your health. They say that people who aren’t complainers are healthier, happier, have more friends and are more successful than people who complain all the time. So,  53   something ticks you off, like a rainy day or a bad meal, try  54  your tongue instead of complaining. It will be your contribution to   55   a world without complaints.

House chores are often on the bottom of everyone’s to-do list, so when a disabled family member or friend needs assistance, we often prefer. To let someone else help out with the housework since we usually have enough of our own, but cleaning, washing and sweeping need not be heavy tasks. In fact, you probably get a lot done in a short amount of time if you work efficiently.
If you are visiting a disabled person on a regular hasis, ask which day would be best for you to come, probably for no more than an hour or so. Then find out what type of supplies or equipment you will need to carry out a few clean-up chores. Make a list and take those things with you so you will be ready to get into action when the time comes. Don’t plan to do too much or you will end up spending too much time on chores and perhaps make your host feel guilty. Don’t leave cleaning supplies or equipment in places where your disabled friend might trip over them later. Be cheerful and enjoy your visit either before or after your housework..
Even though you have a better way of handling things, remember that this is your host’s house, and things should be done according to his or her wishes. Of course, if the person’s preferences are vastly different from yours or if you are unable to do things as he or she wishes, let that task go to someone else to do.
Helping someone by assisting with housework is a great way to show friendliness and support. Set reasonable limitations on your time and effort and be flexible about doing whatever your host most wants to be done. Both of you can then benefit from this interactive experience.

根据短文内容,从下框的A---F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。 选项中有一项为多余选项。

A.Find inspiration around you
B.Spare no efforts to achieve your goal
C.Hold a positive attitude
D.Break the routine
E. Find a reason in everything you do
F. Take care of your health   

 

 
1.

  You may have goals of losing weight, dreaming of pursuing a passion or interest, plans of achieving success in your career and relationships, but without positive motivation, all these remain goals, plans and dreams if you are not motivated to achieve them and make them into reality. Positive thoughts play a major role in your outlook in life and in giving you the motivation to reach for you dreams. If you are optimistic that you can do the task at hand, or you can reach your goals, you will be motivated to take those steps towards achieving it.

 

 
2.

  Whether it is nature’s beauty, or great relationships from friends and family, being able to find inspiration has a positive impact in getting yourself motivated to do what you want to achieve and live a better life, so strive to make friends and keep a happy relationship with your family.

 

 
3.

  One of the things that can contribute to lack of motivation is doing the same things every day and getting stuck into it without knowing where you are heading. Sometimes you have to explore other opportunities, learn new skills and explore other interests. Do not be afraid to take risks, explore new ways of achieving your goals and get out of your comfort zone at times to discover new things around you and take advantage of new opportunities in life.

 

 
4.

A tired and stressed body most often leads to lack of motivation to do what you want to do. Have a regular exercise. This will not only make you become stronger physically but will also lift up your mood to tackle (处理)life’s challenges each day.

 

 
5.

  Most often, we feel mostly motivated if there is a need to do it. Finding the reason why you live your life each day will truly make everything easy and help you get motivated. Dedicating(致力于) your efforts to someone you love and treasure is also a good motivation that you can give yourself. No matter what challenges you have to face, for as long as you know that you are doing it for someone you love, you will find yourself motivated to do it.
