19.One of the greatest sources of unhappiness,in my experience,is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.
When we see something we don't like,we wish it could be different.We cry out for something better.That may be human nature,or perhaps it's something ingrained(根深蒂固的) in our culture.The root of the unhappiness isn't necessarily that we want things to be different.However,it's that we decided we didn't like it in the first place.We've judged it as bad,rather than saying,"It's not bad or good,and it just is it."
In one of my books,I said"You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned".Some readers said it's too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong.However,it's only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad.Instead,you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.
This can be applied to whatever you do:how other people act at work,how politics works and how depressing the news media can be.Accept these things as they are,and try to understand why they're that way. It will save you a lot of sadness,because you'll no longer say,"Oh.1wish bad things didn't happen!''
Does it mean you can never change things?Not at a11.But change things not because you can't accept things as they are,but because you enjoy the process of changing,learning and growing.
Can we make this world a better place?You can say that you'11continue to try to do things to help others,to grow as a person,to make a difference in this world.That's the correct path you choose to take,because you enjoy that path.Therefore,when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference,try a different approach:accept,and understand.It might lead to some interesting results.

10.You may think that sailing is a difficult sport,but it is really not hard to learn it.You do not need to be strong.But you need to be quick.And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.
First,you must ask yourself,"Where is the wind coming from?Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?"You must think about this all the time on the boat.The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.
Let's start with the wind blowing from behind.This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction.Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat.It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat.Then it will catch the wind best.
If the wind is blowing from the side,it is blowing across the boat.In this case,you must keep the sail half way outside the boat.It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind,but it shouldn't flap (摆动).It shouldn't look like a flag on a flagpole.If it is flapping,it is probably out too far,and the boat will slow down.
Sailing into the wind is not possible.If you try,the sail will flap and the boat will stop.You may want to go in that direction.It is possible,but you can't go in a straight line.You must go first in one direction and then in another.This is called tacking.When you are tacking,you must always keep the sail inside the boat.

45.What should you consider first while sailing?C
A.Sailors'strength.
B.Wave levels.
C.Wind directions.
D.Size of sails.

D.The angle.
47.What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?D
A.Move in a straight line.
B.Allow the sail to flap.
C.Lower the sail.
D.Tack the boat.
48.Where can you probably find the text?A
A.In a popular magazine.
B.In a tourist guidebook.
C.In a physics textbook.
D.In an official report.
7.When I was 12,I got a part-time job on a dairy farm,milking cows.We milked 65 cows twice a day.One day,I complained to my father about having to go milk those cows,saying it was tiring.He said,you know,boy,to work is a blessing.I looked at the men who'd worked harder.I had a feeling I had been told something really important,but it took many years before it sank in.
 Back then,going to college was a rare privilege.My father told me if I'd picked something to study that I liked doing,I'd always look forward to my work.But he also added,even having a job you hate is better than not having a job at all.I wanted to be a farmer,but I joined a military program to help pay for college.And what started out as an obligation to the Army became a way of life that I had been devoted to for 37 years.
In the late 1980s,during a visit to Bangladesh,I saw a woman with her baby on her back,breaking bricks with a hammer.I asked a local officer why they weren't using a machine to make the work easier.He told me a machine would put that lady out of work.And as bad as that woman's job was,it was enough to keep a small family alive.It reminded me of my father's words:to work is a blessing.
 After seeing a lot of people like that woman in Bangladesh,I've come to believe that people without jobs are not free.They're victims of crime,poor health,and depression.People who have jobs can have a home,send their kids to school,develop a sense of pride,contribute to the good of the community and even help others.When we can work,we are free.We are blessed.
