1.Many people believe that they will be happy once they arrive at some specific goal they set for themselves.However,more often than not,once you arrive"there"you will still feel dissatisfied,and move your"there"vision to yet another point in the future.By always chasing (追寻) after another"there",you are never really appreciating what you already have right"here".It is important for human beings to keep sober-minded(头脑清醒的) about the age-old drive to look beyond the place where you now stand.On one hand,your life is developed by your dreams and aspirations (抱负).On the other hand,these drives can pull you farther and farther from your enjoyment of your life right now.
To be grateful means you are thankful for what you have right now.Gratitude (感激) fills your heart with the joyful feeling and allows you to fully appreciate everything that arises on your path.As you try hard to keep your focus on the present moment,you can experience the full wonder of"here".
There are many ways to develop gratitude.Here are just a few suggestions you may wish to try:
•Imagine what your life would be like if you lost all that you had.This will most surely remind you of how much you do appreciate it.
•Make a list each day of all that you are grateful for,so that you can stay conscious (有意识的) daily of your blessings.Do this especially when you are feeling as though you have nothing to feel grateful for.Or spend a few minutes before you go to sleep giving thanks for all that you have.
•Spend time offering assistance (帮助) to those who are less fortunate than you,so that you may gain a new perspective (观点).
What really matters is that you create a space in your consciousness for appreciation for all that you have right now,so that you may live more happily in your present moment.

A.many people feel satisfied with what they have right now
B.aspirations can pull a person farther from his present life
C.none can be sober-minded about his dreams and aspirations

B.allow you to fully appreciate your"here"
C.make people experience the wonder of"here"
D.drive people to give up their future
26.If we want to develop gratitude,we should better NOTA.

16.It was a Friday.As usual,the office became busier and busier.Orders to buy and sell came and went like birds.It was in the stock market,the world of money that Mr.Robert,the stockbroker,worked faster and faster.There was no room in it for the world of human feelings or the world of nature.
Near lunchtime,everything quieted down.Mr.Robert stood by his desk with his hands full of letters.Suddenly through the open window came a smell of flowers,like the thin breath of spring.Mr.Robert stood still.This was Miss Angelia's smell,her own and only hers.The world of the stock market disappeared.And Miss Angelia was in the next room--only twenty steps away.
"I'll do it now,"said Mr.Robert softly."I'll ask her now.Why didn't I do it long ago?"
He ran into her office.She looked up at him with a smile.Her face turned a soft pink.
"Miss Angelia,"he said,hurriedly,"I only have a moment to talk.I want to say something important to you,Will you be my wife?I haven't had time to show you,but I really do love you."

"Why…what are you talking about?"cried the young lady.She stood up and looked at him strangely."Don't you understand?"Mr.Robert asked quickly."I want you to marry me now."
Miss Angelia acted very strangely.At first she seemed surprised.Then she began to cry.But then she smiled through her tears like the sun through rain.She put her arms around his neck."But don't you remember,darling?"she said."We were married yesterday evening at 8:00,in the little church around the corner."
33.What can we know from the first paragraph?C
A.Mr.Robert didn't love Miss Angelia.
B.Mr.Robert was too happy to enjoy nature.
C.Mr.Robert was busy in working diligently

13.It was December 25,1914,only 5months into World War I.German,British,and French soldiers,already sick and tired of the senseless killing,disobeyed their superiors and started socializing with"the enemy"along two-thirds of the Western Front.
German troops held up Christmas trees with signs"Merry Christmas".Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies.They sang Christmas songs,exchanged photographs of loved ones back home,shared food and even played football.Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before.They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons,and to aim high.
Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides.They felt that their power was being challenged:soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight.Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court.Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot.By March 1915the socializing movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation.Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.
Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce(休战).On Christmas Day,1988,a local radio host in Boston played"Christmas in the Trenches",a song about the Christmas Truce,several times and was stunned by his listeners'response.Thousands of people called in,praising the song,with many moved to tears by the amazing events it describes.
You can probably guess why the callers were in tears.The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people.It lets us see the world as it can be and says,"This really happened once."It shows us the potential we have as humans,and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are.It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true:the world really can be different.

A.they couldn't bear the meaningless killing.
B.it was the best way to avoid being killed.
C.they feared that they would be caught.
D.their enemies were from similar backgrounds.
9.How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers'socializing?D
A.They sent the soldiers'loved ones to prison.
B.They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.
C.They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.
D.They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.

A.satisfied
B.shocked
C.amused
D.confused
11.The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beingsC.
A.are not trustworthy under stress.
B.are naturally aggressive and warlike
C.are basically caring and kind-hearted
D.will always do what is in their own self-interest.
11."Mama!Mama!"My 2-year-old son yells at his most excited,I-just-discovered-something-huge voice when we are eating a delicious hot curry with steamed rice at our dinner table.
"Look,a tree!"He yells again.I turn to find him holding up a piece of broccoli (西兰花) for us to see."Oh honey,"I laugh and begin to protest,"That is bro…"But I stop.
As my son grows up,I find myself struggling not lo turn into the worst kind of teacher-the kind who overcorrects.
I have to learn to fight against my strong adult need to jump in and say,"No.that is not right."in the name of promoting knowledge.Unless I think his incorrect concept puts him in the way of harm,I have no desire to fix it.
Instead,I want to encourage my son's colorful sense of the world,in which stuffed (毛绒的) animals attend story times,flies are fascinating creatures,and red balloons share secrets.
    At our dinner table,I study the face of my child who is eagerly waiting for confirmation.He is smiling.His cheeks are a little flushed with excitement.
    Instead of taking the opportunity to teach him a new vegetable name.I say,"Wow,look!"pointing at his plate,"You have many trees in your rice!"
He laughs happily,his lovely face redder.
"So,how many trees can you eat?"I ask him,breaking in with another strong parenting desire I have:forming healthy eating habits.
He playfully puts one after another into his mouth,delighled by the possibility of pulling out the little trees that grow in his rice and eating them right off his plate.
