When asked about happiness,we usually think of something extraordinary,an absolute delight,which seems to get rarer the older we get.

For kids,happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved (毫无掩饰的) .

In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement,love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.

In adulthood the things that bring deep joy — love,marriage,birth—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults,happiness is complicated (复杂的) .

My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have,the happier we are. It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends,the freedom to live where we please,and even good health.

I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing,which I love. When the kids and my husband came home,I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.

Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don't think that my grandmother,who raised 14 children,had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family,and maybe this is what satisfied her.

We,however,with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area,have turned happiness into one more thing weVe got to have. We⁵re so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it's making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success,without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier.

Happiness isn’t about what happens to us it's about how we see what happens to us. It's the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It's not wishing for what we don't have,but enjoying what we do possess.

第一节阅读表达(共4小题;每小题2. 5分，满分10分)

No one can believe that the over 6 ,300-kilome-tre-long Great Wall might disappear some day. Believe it or not,the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect,but about 80 percent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realise that the length was made up of one brick at a time. ，it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.

The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2 ,000 years. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu,because they have been open to tourists for many years. But those sections far away from the public eyes have almost been forgotten.

The bricks on the Great Wall were carried off by country people to build their houses,sheep corrals and pigsties. Some were taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with peopled names were put away as remembrances. Rubbish was spread over the battlements (城垛) . The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Wall know its name,but arc not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but also dug out the entire base.

It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. The officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall and the young Chinese should know more about the nation's great civilisation and learn to love it.

In the world of communication,we focus a lot on what our customer is saying,which includes understanding their body language and gestures. But we must not forget that it is equally important to pay attention to our own body language and gestures when communicating with others.

In our personal and business lives,careful consideration must be given to whom we are with and where they are from. One thing for sure is that failure to be prepared when dealing with other cultures can be rather embarrassing.

Many years ago,the then President of the United States,Richard Nixon arrived in a foreign country in South America and upon his arrival,stood at the top of the stairs leading to the side door of his Presidential Jet. As he looked over the crowd below him,he had a great smile and proudly raised both hands high in the air,palms (手掌) facing outward and the index finger and the third finger raised,and gave a gesture of the famous “Peace” sign as he had done so often before.

Immediately,the crowd below began to laugh at the President who couldn’t figure out why all of a sudden,he was receiving such a rude welcome.

The reason was that in the country he was visiting,the two-fingered,palms outward ^aPeacesign,which was acceptable in North America,was an absolutely impolite symbol to the local people.

As you can see,it is really important to know your audience and if travelling to other countries,you need to be aware that some of the most commonly acceptable gestures at home can have a completely different meaning abroad.

In some countries such as France and Italy,it is acceptable to exchange a kiss on one or both cheeks while shaking hands upon entering or exiting a business meeting. In other countries such as Japan,this type of behaviour is considered impolite as Japanese are not a “touch oriented society”.

The Japanese have a respectful custom to bow to each other with the most senior status (身份) person bowing the least and the least status person having to bow first and display the deepest bend from the waist.
