| We live in a time when the day is controlled by selfishness and greed. The battle of selfishness and greed has been increasingly fierce and there have been many casualties, but desire has tired too many people and we find that the populated areas of the twenty-first century have lost hope for the boring symphony of selfishness. Now I have several suggestions that will get you back on your feet, so that you can continue walking down the road of life with your head held high, arm in arm with your fellow man as equal. Money isn’t everything. There exists a common understanding that everything around us is measured by money and an assumption that the meaning of life is to make as much of it as humanly possible, so that you can live a comfortable and luxurious life. It is clear that money is indeed necessary to get through life, whether spent on food or shelter, but the air we breathe and the love we share are both free and extremely rewarding. Too many people die alone, only to be remembered for their full bank accounts or their shocking debts, so we must be remembered for our kindness to others and contributions to society. Share with others. A miser is a person who cares extremely about their wealth and takes from everyone everything, with only one thing in their mind that they demand more. Not only are misers hated by the people surrounding them, but they are also the death of many men. Some of us will never admit that they take far more than they give. We are supposed to give a little, even if we receive nothing in return. Show generosity to your friends, co-workers, family, neighbors and you will be on your way to removing the greed from your life. Act unselfishly. We must learn to act unselfishly for people and help whoever in need, not because doing so makes us feel superior, not to expect something in return either, but because it helps them survive, which makes them feel connected with the world, with a smile on their face and a strong need to give to others. By acting unselfishly, we will teach others how to act unselfishly too. Next time you stick your neck out for a selfish miser, be optimistic and think that maybe he will learn to pay it forward by following your example.

| 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 We should not hesitate too much during the first half of our lives, while we should not regret at what we've done during the other half. We should seize every opportunity (机会) to find a way out in our lives, for it goes off quickly. We should say something urgent (紧迫的) slowly, something serious clearly, something small humorously and something unsure carefully. We should never say something that did not happen, something that we cannot do, something that does harm to others. Do not easily say something about others. We should follow our own heart and interest, and fulfill what we should do. Everyone is longing for a happy life, but owning wealth does not necessarily mean owning happiness. To truly reach happiness, we need to know how to get on with others. So we need to understand the core (核心) of happiness and achieve what we desire. We need to know and understand happiness before we finally get it. A smart man must know to do something good even though it may be small, and not to do something evil even though it may be tiny in everyday life. As long as we keep a kind heart and do everything legally, we can live a peaceful life. But if we keep an evil heart and do whatever we want, we are indeed digging a tomb for ourselves. A smart man knows to learn a lesson from his falls for he knows that every fall is a valuable experience leading to happiness in the future. He will not waste his time in criticizing (批评)others. Instead, he tends to spend more time seeking his own happiness. He knows to keep a heart of conscience (道德) and not to spread others' mistakes. He also knows to think before he leaps so that he will not feel regretful afterwards. Moreover, he knows to tolerate others, so he can naturally lead a happy life. Without happiness, one will feel terribly sorry, for he always insists that he has done the right thing all the time and that others often do wrong to him. He attributes (把……归于) every mistake to others or the environment instead of reflecting on himself, which keeps him farther and farther away from happiness. A well-known person once said, "Nobody intends to make mistakes. One makes mistakes because of his ignorance (无知)." Therefore, if someone makes mistake, we need to care about him, forgive him and enlighten (启发) him by setting a good example to him instead of losing temper (怒气) to him. Otherwise, we are also ignorant like him, for we also make a stupid mistake that leads us farther from happiness. In order to lead a happy life, we need to know more about others, about the society, about our culture and history. We should love our country, keep the law and realize our own responsibility (责任), and then we are sure to have a happy life.
