Have you ever noticed that the more you have, the more you want? Let's face it.Thinking our life is good enough doesn't come naturally to many people.When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment.Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction.Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.

Focus on what you are thankful for.Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have.Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be.Focus on what you are thankful for.Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.

When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our well?being.Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner.What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.

When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life we are likely to be less satisfied.Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position.Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.

When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you.Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you.Stay present and focus on the task you're unde?rtaking at the moment.Don't let the life pass you by because you're always on the goal and distracted by ambition.

Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment and it will become more natural.

External bleeding.Apply direct pressure.Place a clean,folded cloth over the injured area and firmly apply pressure.If blood soaks through,do not remove it.Instead,cover that cloth with another one and continue to apply pressure to the wound for 7-10 minutes.If the bleeding is from the ear,place a clean bandage over the ear,lay the victim on his side,and allow the blood to drain out through the bandage.

Elevate the injury.Position the wounded part of the body above the level of the heart if possible while you apply direct pressure.

Know the pressure points.If direct pressure and elevation don't sufficiently slow the bloodflow,find a pressure point.Large arteries(动脉)found close to the skin's surface supply blood to the head and to each arm and leg.The most common pressure points used during the first aid are located in the upper arms and in the creases above the upper legs.Apply pressure to the closest pressure point to the wound so that the artery is pressed between your fingers and the bone directly behind the artery.If using the pressure point on a leg,you may need to use the heel of your hand instead of your fingers.

Resort to a tourniquet(止血带,压脉器).On very rare occasions everything listed above may fail.To prevent the victim from dying,you should apply a tourniquet.Once a tourniquet is applied,it should not be loosened or removed until the victim has reached medical help.Use a tourniquet only if everything listed above has failed.If you use a tourniquet,write down somewhere on the victim the time when it was applied,so medical persons will know how long it has been in place.

阅读下面短文, 从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (大牧场) in San Isidro. He lets me use his house to hold events to raise money for youth at risk programs.

The last time I was there he greeted me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let you use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a poor horse trainer who would go from stable (马厩) to stable, farm to farm, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school was continually interrupted (打断). One day in the last year of high school, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to do when he grew up.

“He wrote a seven-page paper about his goal of owning a horse ranch in great detail. He put a great deal of his heart into the project and even drew a detailed floor plan for the dream ranch. Then the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. But he got a low mark with a note that read, ‘See me after class.’

“The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive a low mark?’”

“The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘If you will rewrite this paper, I will reconsider your mark.’

“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’

“Finally, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He wrote, ‘You can keep the low mark and I’ll keep my dream.’”
