I was at a dinner given in honor of one of the most famous English military men（军人）of his time, Scoresby．I cannot describe my 36 when I saw this great man．There he sat, the man himself all 37 with medals．Next to me sat a clergyman （牧师）．There was a strange took in his eyes as he 38 silently．"He is a complete fool " He meant the 39 of our dinner．This came as a 40 to me．
Some days later the clergyman told me 41 ; "Forty years ago, I was a teacher in a military academy． 42 young Scoresby was given his first examination, I felt 43 for
him, for everybody answered the questions well, while he did not know anything．It was
44 to see him stand there．I knew that when 45 again he would fail So? I helped him
as much as I could．"
"I took him 46 and found he knew a little about Julius Ceasar's history, 47 he
did not know anything else．So I made him 48 on a few questions about Ceasar over and
over again which I knew he would be asked．Everything 49 very smoothly on the day of
the examination．He got high 50_ too．Later 1 was told Scoresby had spent the whole day
preparing for the exam．"
"Then, the 51 broke out．Few people knew how 52 he really was, and how hard
he tried to achieve his goals at the same time．Until now, 53 knew it but myself．He has
been a 54 soldier．Look at his chest, flooded with British and foreign 55 ．They are
proof that the best thing can happen to a silly man who is hard-working．"

Sonja Lyubomirsky, an author, has researched the science of happiness for years．
Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts of happiness throughout the day．
【小题1】________
“You could spend a lot of time thinking deeply,” says Lyubomirsky．“But that just makes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and affects your self esteem．Your relationships will suffer and your job performance will suffer．”
Get rid of pessimism．One of the most effective ways to cope when things are difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy．“What can I learn from this? Times are tough, I’ve been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids, adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills．”
【小题2】________
Now more than ever we need each other to survive．Lyubomirsky found that doing good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier．Think of practical, everyday gestures that can make someone’s life a little bit easier．For example, Lyubomirsky says, “Maybe now many of us can’t afford to take a cab to the airport, so offer to give a friend a ride．”
【小题3】________
You don’t need an expert to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness．
Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid’s needs can weigh down hard on your family life．But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on caring for your loved ones．
“I was at a psychology conference where an expert was talking about the effects of this economy on families and how parents can’t afford to buy their kids luxuries like toys anymore,” says Lyubomirsky．“But what they don’t realize is that kids don’t care about toys — what they care about is parents being grumpy and taking it out on them．”
【小题4】________
“If you find a happy person you will find a project,” says Lyubomirsky．“Happy people all have goals they care about．”
Commit yourself to a project – whether it is a business you want to start or a dance you want to learn．But it’s also important to remember to be flexible in these times．
Don’t get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting your goals．Adopt and change!
“If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,” says Lyubomirsky．“Or you might have to learn a whole new skill for a new job．”
【小题5】________
When times are tough, it’s easy to get skip your regular workouts in favor of moping in front of the TV and eating a bag of chips．Your thinking is “I have more important things to worry about right now than looking good．”
But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC．It will go a long way in boosting your happiness．“Even if you can’t afford to go to the gym,”
Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home．”
My earliest bee experience took place at a summer camp. One day our teacher told us to head up the hill nearby. We all began to 31 our destination. The girls took the concrete stairs, but the boys ran 32 up the grassy hill, at the top of which sat a long wooden fence(围栏). Without 33 the boys ahead of me vaulted（跃过） over the fence bravely.
What should I do? Take the stairs and 34 a girl, or jump over the fence and look 35 ? Then I took my chance with the fence. I placed both 36 on the top and jumped, feeling uneasy. I didn’t 37 it. As I tried, my foot 38 on the top of the fence. Down I went! I landed on my backside. I tried to 39 off the accident, but then I felt something moving 40 me. Just then I saw 41 seemed like hundreds of bees flying toward me. I had landed on a beehive（蜂窝）! I 42 up and rushed as fast as I could. But the bees flew faster. What a/an 43 situation I was in!
My clothes were covered with 44 . I parked myself in the camp and I was at a loss. 45 this, my teacher quickly took off all my clothes but underwear. Bees flew out of my clothes and 46 out of my mouth!
I had gained the 47 of all the campers, but I didn’t feel cool. I had been 48 almost 40 bees stings(蛰) all over my body. I learned a most 49 lesson that day. When we are led by the 50 to show off（炫耀）, we might find ourselves sitting on a beehive.
