【题目】These days, it seems that almost all of us are too seriousMy older daughter often says to me, “Daddy, you’ve got that serious look again” Even those of us who are committed to non-seriousness are probably too seriousPeople are frustrated and anxious about almost everything -- being five minutes late, witnessing someone look at us wrong or say the wrong thing, paying bills, waiting in line, overcooking a meal, making an honest mistake -- you name it, and we all lose perspective(理性判断) over it

The root of being anxious is our unwillingness to accept life as being different, in any way, from our expectationVery simply, we want things to be a certain way but they’re not a certain wayLife is simply as it isPerhaps Benjamin Franklin said it best: “Our limited perspective, our hopes and fears become our measure of life, and when circumstances don’t fit our ideas, they become our difficulties” We spend our lives wanting things, people, and events to be just as we want them to be -- and when they’re not, we fight and we suffer

The first step in recovering from over-seriousness is to admit that you have a problemYou have to want to change, to become more easygoingYou have to see that your own anxiety is largely of your own creation -- it’s made up of the way you have set up your life and the way you react to it

The next step is to understand the link between your expectations and your frustration levelWhenever you expect something to be a certain way and it isn’t, you’re upset and you sufferOn the other hand, when you let go of your expectations, when you accept life as it is, you’re free

A good exercise is to try to approach a single day without expectationDon’t expect people to be friendlyWhen they’re not, you won’t be surprised or bothered; if they are, you’ll be delightedDon’t expect your day to be problem-freeInstead, as problems come up, say to yourself, “Ah, another barrier to overcome” As you approach your day in this manner you’ll notice how elegant life can beRather than fighting against life, you’ll be dancing with itPretty soon, with practice, you’ll lighten up your entire lifeAnd when you lighten up, life is a lot more fun

1Why are people easily frustrated and anxious these days?

A. Because their children are disappointing

B. Because they have to look serious in public

C. Because life is becoming a greater burden

D. Because people have lost sensible judgment

2According to Benjamin Franklin, what was the cause of over-seriousness?

A. The fact that people’s perspective, hopes and fears are limited

B. The fact that people can’t change life itself

C. The fact that things fail to meet people’s expectations

D. The fact that circumstances turn out to be difficult

3In what pattern is this article developed?

A. Phenomenon, causes and solutions

B. Problems, explanation and conclusion

C. Examples, causes and arguments

D. Phenomenon, analysis and conclusion

4What might be the best title for the passage?

A. People seem to be too serious

B. Life is simply as it is

C. Hopes can turn into difficulties

D. A good exercise removes over-seriousness

【题目】Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate from the bottom of your heart, for he was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. When asked how he was able to do so, he would reply,“___________________

There was no doubt that Jerry was unique because he had several followers who were in his shadow from restaurant to restaurant. Obviously, these colleagues were greatly touched by Jerry’s attitude so as to follow him here and there. Being a natural motivator, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation whenever he or she was having a bad day.

Curious about his style, I went up to Jerry and asked him, “ I can’t believe it! You can’t be a positive person all the time. How do you do it? ” Jerry replied, “ Each morning I wake up and say to myself, ‘Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or in a bad mood.’ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or to point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.”

“Yeah, right, it’s not that easy,” I protested. “ Yes, it is,” Jerry said. “ Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It’s your choice how you live life.”

I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon after I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination(密码组合). The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments(碎片) of the bullets still in his body.

I bumped into Jerry about six months after the terrifying accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, “_________________Want to see my scars(伤疤)” I_____see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. “The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “ Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live.” “Weren’t you scared?” I asked.

Jerry continued, “The paramedics(护理人员)were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read,‘ He’s a dead man.’ I knew I needed to take action.” “What did you do?” I asked. “Well, there was a big nurse shouting questions at me,” said Jerry. “She asked if I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes’ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets(子弹)’. Over their laughter I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’ ”

Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his experienced doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
