I have a cousin who’s a farmer. If you saw him on market day with his old boots and worn hat, you might think he was a tramp (流浪汉). But he’s either buying or selling       for thousands of pounds. He doesn’t have a luxurious lifestyle, but the farmhouse, dozens of acres of land, machinery, cattle, chicken and crops must be worth a fortune. You might describe him as a       man, but he doesn’t look like that.
My father owned a shop selling newspapers, cigarettes, birthday cards, toys, books and magazines. The shop       a comfortable life for us, but we weren’t rich. The only luxury was that my father owned a car when most people in our town couldn’t afford one,      professionals such as doctors and lawyers.
My point is that       can be misleading. You often can’t       the rich from the way they look.
I once met Richard Branson, the Virgin Airlines tycoon (巨头).He’d       a hot balloon across the Atlantic and landed in the Irish sea. When he was rescued, he was wearing jeans, a T-shirt and a sneaker. You’d       have guessed he was a multimillionaire.
Andrew Bruce, the 11th Earl (伯爵) of Elgin,       a group of press people to his luxurious home in Fife, Scotland. His      , the 7th Earl of Elgin was famous for removing and transporting to Britain priceless sculptures from the Parthenon, a very famous temple in Greece. The so-called Elgin Marbles can be seen in the British Museum. The Earl’s castle was       cold, despite a fire burning in the hearth (壁炉). He explained to us,“I’m sorry it’s so cold, but you should know that a gentleman’s house is always cold.”
There you have it:     doesn’t always bring comfort.

I was invited to attend a presentation at the Kentucky School. That evening I found gratitude had amazing      to change our attitude…and our life.
The young musician Mr. Patrick was      onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he      beautiful music. He then began to sing as he played, and it was wonderful. But what shocked me most was his      smile.
Patrick was born with no eyes and an illness in the legs, which     him lame for life. However, as a child, he was     with artificial eyes and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first    , he discovered the piano. When his mom hit any note on the piano, and within one or two     , he’d get it. By his second birthday, he was playing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”. His father was    . “We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”
When Patrick was at the University of Louisville, his father     classes with him. He was also a part of the 214-member marching band! He was a blind, wheelchair-bound trumpet player; and he and his father did it together. His father     the night shift(夜班)in order to accompany his daytime band practice. Patrick says, “My dad’s my    .”
But even more than his     musical talent, it was Patrick’s “attitude of gratitude” that  _   my soul. On stage, between songs, he talked to the audience about his life and about how   _   he was with a great father. When his performance was over, Patrick and his father were on the stage together. The crowd rose to their feet and     for over five minutes.
We all face misfortune in our lives.    ,it’s not the hardship but how we     to it that will determine the joy and happiness in our lives. During     times, do we spend too much time feeling     for ourselves, or can we, with gratitude, learn how to dance in the rain?

The other day, I happened to meet someone I hadn’t seen for many years. I couldn’t believe the change in him. As a matter of fact, he didn’t even seem like the    person.
When I first knew Bill, back in     , he was one of the most carefree(无忧无虑的) people I had ever      . He was always ready to have a     . He usually went out for beer at three o’clock in the morning or drove 50 miles to see an old      he really liked. Bill and I were in the same class in college, and      was never dull when he was     . With him there was one wild      after another. Sometimes I wonder how we      to study for our exams.
Last week I was in Houston on business, and I ran into Bill in the bar at the hotel.     , I wasn’t even      it was he. Was this short-haired businessman really the same person? I wasn’t really sure until I came near him, but it indeed was Bill. Now he works for a bank. He      most of the evening about his job, his new car and his house. How he had changed! Back when we were in college, the     thing Bill cared about was possessions. Now they seemed to be his main     . Although I have changed quite a bit myself, somehow, I never      Bill changing so much. My image of him      the one I had formed      the time when we were college students together.

Expressing emotions is important rather than hiding them or keeping them inside. Everyone feels negative emotions such as anger and needs to deal with them. But there are healthy ways to express anger and ways to control it.
Shouting bad words at someone will hurt the other person or make them angry too. If you feel angry, it is best to think before you speak. Some people in the UK use the expression “take a deep breath and count to 10”, meaning take a pause, breathe deeply and let yourself calm down instead of getting angry.
Another expression people use to say they are controlling their anger is “biting their lip”. This means not letting the bad words come out of their mouth. If you cannot think of anything but bad words, it is probably best to “bite your lip.”
But sometimes letting all your anger out can be cathartic(宣泄情绪), as long as you do it at the right place and time. If you have just had a bad day, you could go into a room by yourself and scream or yell very loudly. Or if you want to hit someone or smash something, you could hit a pillow instead. Then after you let your frustration out this way, you’ll be able to deal with your problems more calmly.
If you do lose your temper with someone and swear at them, though, you need to apologize. One way to do this is to say “pardon my French”. This expression has been used for many years as an apology for bad language. Then you can calmly explain what made you upset.
小题1:According to the passage, what does the expression “pardon my French” mean?
A. “Please let me through”.
B “I can’t speak French well”.
C. “Sorry I said a bad word”.
D. “I’m very angry with you”.
小题2:What does letting out your frustration help you to do?
A.Make others more upset.
B.Feel happier about yourself .
C.Solve a problem calmly.
D.It is no help at all.
小题3:Who is this passage most likely written for?
A.All kinds of people
B.Young children
C.Very angry people
D.People who like to swear
小题4:How does this passage view expressing emotions?
A.They should be kept very private.
B.They need to be expressed but in a way that hurts no one.
C.They should be expressed any way you like.
D.They should only be expressed if they are positive.

The way people stick to the _______ that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually _____ their chances of ever obtaining real happiness.
