How to Be Happy in Your Life

Newborn babies are the happiest in the world. Unfortunately, as we grow up, worries start working up their way upon our minds. 【1】 However, we can achieve happiness again with just some small changes.

Make a choice. Happiness is a matter of choice. A person who knows how to be happy will always be happy, no matter what situation we put him into. On the other hand, a person who always finds faults with everyone and everything around him cannot be happy, no matter how hard he tries.

Laugh a lot. When we smile or laugh, the muscles in our face excite the brain to produce “happy chemicals”. These chemicals make us feel happy. 2 Laugh at ourselves, laugh at our problems, laugh at our little worries and then see what difference it makes to our life.

3 Being angry with others at their mistakes will earn us nothing. Instead it will make us even more unhappy. Just letting go of others’ mistakes every once in a while helps us to be happy.

Live out of the past. Often, the dark shadows from our past ruin every single second of our life and turn it into a bad memory. 4

Learn to give. Giving is a satisfying experience and the joy of giving cannot be expressed in words. One who gives all his life ends up leading a happier life than the one who concentrates only on receiving.

One must understand that happiness is a state ofmind. 5 Thus, the answer to the question “how to be happy in life” only lies within us.

A. Forget others’ mistakes.

B. Sounds silly, but it does work.

C. Finally, we forget what happiness is.

D. So, find humor in everything around us.

E. Start with little things and work up to bigger ones.

F. Nothing in the world can make us happy or unhappy, unless we allow it.

G. Let go of all bad memories preventing us from leading a happy life at present.

【题目】阅读理解。

At thirteen, I was diagnosed(诊所) with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.

In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said,“Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”

She glanced down at me through her glasses, you are no different from your classmates, young man.

I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; Ijust needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?

I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next daywith an“A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:“See what you can do when you keep trying?”

【1】The author didn’t finish the reading in class because ________.

A. He was new to the class.

B. He was tried of literature.

C. He had an attention disorder.

D. He wanted to take the task home.

【2】What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?

A. He had good sight. B. He made a great invention.

C. He gave up reading. D. He learned a lot from school.

【3】What was Mrs. Smiths attitude to the author at the end of the story?

A. Angry. B. Impatient.

C. Sympathetic. D. Encouraging.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The disabled should be treated with respect.

B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.

C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.

D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.

【题目】阅读下列短文 ,从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D)中 ,选出最佳选项。

What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is time the same all over the world?

That's an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource. Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression, "Time is money."

Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to conserve and manage it. People in the U.S. often attend seminars or read books on time management. It seems they all want to organize their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners some in electronic form to keep track of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to squeeze more time out of their time. The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this view best: "Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of."

To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation is, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time.

To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in other cultures value relationships more than schedules. In these societies, people don't try to control time, but to experience it. Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time like money slips all too easily through our fingers. And time like the weather is very hard to predict. Nevertheless, time is one of life's most precious gifts. And unwrapping it is half the fun.

【1】What’s the main topic of this passage?

A. What is time? B. Time among Americans.

C. Make good use of time. D. How to control time?

2】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “conserve”?

A. protect B. develop

C. produce D. assist

3】The sentence "Americans seem tied to the clock" in paragraph 5 probably means ________.

A. Americans often carry a clock with them.

B. Americans can take control over time.

C. Americans often make full use of time.

D. Americans can not predict the time.

4】We can safely draw a conclusion from this passage that _________.

A. Americans have more time than others

B. by using pocket planners, people can have more time

C. for informal meeting, Americans often arrive 30 minutes earlier

D. Americans often attend seminars, because they want to use time better

【题目】You may know the Eiffel Tower as one of the most famous man-made monuments in the world, and youd be absolutely right! Read on to learn about the history of the spectacular Eiffel Tower.

The history of the Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower was named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the famous monument. Construction began in January of 1887 and was completed in only two years.
