Meaning of Happiness
"Are you happy?" I asked my brother, Lan, one day,
"Yes.No.It depends what you mean," he said.
"Then tell me," I said, "when was the last time you think you were happy?"
"April 1967,"he said,
It served me right for putting a serious question to someone who has joked his way through life.But Lan's answer reminded me that when we think about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, a pinnacle(顶点) of sheer (纯粹的) delight, 71
72 I remember playing police and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking part in the school play.Of course, kids also experience lows, but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved.
In the teenage years, the concept of happiness changes. 73 I can still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to.I also remember the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man.
In adulthood the things that bring great joy —birth, love, marriage —also bring responsibility and the risk of loss.Love may not last; loved ones die.For adults, happiness is complex.
My dictionary defines "happy" as "lucky" or "fortunate".But I think a better definition of happiness is "the ability to enjoy something". 74 It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, even good health.
While happiness may be more complex for us, the solution is the same as ever.Happiness isn't about what happens to us; it's the ability to find a positive for every negative, and view a difficulty as a challenge. 75
A.For a child, happiness has a magic quality.
B.You never know where happiness will turn up next.
C.So we chase it and make it equal to wealth and success.
D.And those pinnacles seem to get rarer, the older we get.
E.The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are.
F.It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess.
G.Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love, and popularity.
Are you stressed out, scared or worried all the time? Do you avoid going to certain places, seeing friends or doing certain things because of your worries? Do your worries keep you awake at night? If you've answered yes, you may be suffering from anxiety.
Anxiety is a normal and necessary part of life.Anxiety is your brain's way of telling you about danger.It is anxiety which helps you jump out of the way if a car is speeding towards you.But if it gets out of hand, anxiety can get in the way of your getting on with life and can become a real problem.If this is the case for you, treatment may be a helpful way for you to get your anxiety under control.
Anxiety is a normal part of life.Some people may feel uneasy if moving to a new place and some may get overly anxious in certain situations.There are lots of reasons for this.One main reason is after a stressful thing which has happened in your life.So, if you are involved in a car crash, it's quite likely that you will be more worried than other people around cars and driving.
Being anxious also probably runs in families.If your parents suffer from anxiety then you are more likely to be anxious too.This is probably partly due to genetics, and partly because of how things are when you're growing up.
Even though people don't talk about it much, anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems.About 1 in 4 people will have an anxiety problem at some time in their life.
If you have an anxiety problem it's hard for other people to understand why something that doesn't worry them, like being in a crowd of people, can be so scary for you.This can make you feel separated and lonely, as may become worse and worse.
The good news is there are lots of excellent treatments available for anxiety.These include taking therapies (疗法) and drugs.

Although new laws have been passed in some American states to cut down on Distracted(分心的) driving , many accidents and deaths were still related with it, especially using cell phones while driving.Recently the Obama administration is considering disabling cell phones in cars aiming to cut down cell-phone-related road deaths.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, the nation's anti-distracted-driving supporter, said in an interview on November 18 that federal officials are looking at technology to disable cell phones inside cars.
"I think it will be done," LaHood said."I think the technology is there and I think you're going to see the technology become adaptable in automobiles to disable these cell phones- We need to do a lot more if we were going to save lives."
Also on Thursday, the transportation government started a new "Faces of Distracted Driving" video campaign that features people who have been killed or lost their loved ones because of inattentive drivers.The video features heartbreaking stories of children killed, in crashes because of phoning or text messaging, and new videos are expected to be added every few weeks.
A driver is four times more likely to crash while using a mobile phone.More than 5,500 people were killed last year by distracted drivers, and another 500,000 were injured.LaHood has said it is never safe to talk on a cell phone while driving, hands-free or not, because it can really cause distraction.
Incidentally, a lot of people seem to agree with this viewpoint—a new research shows nearly two-thirds of Americans support a national ban on the use of cell phones while driving, even if the driver is using a hands-free device(装置).But the research didn't ask how people feel about government-issued mobile phone scramblers or other disabling devices.
63.We can learn from the text that Ray LaHood _____.
A.is in charge of the invention of the technology
B.is strongly for the use of the technology in cars
C.thinks it's easy and practical to invent the technology

64.The "Faces of Distracted Driving" video campaign aims to _____.
A.find out the real drivers who caused the accidents
B.show that most of the victims in car crashes are children
C.make the public aware of the terrible results of distracted driving
D.call on drivers to buy the new device which disables cell phones in cars
65.In the last paragraph, the "mobile phone scramblers" are probably _____.
A.a kind of disabling devices
B.a kind of hands-free devices
C.a new kind of cell phones
D.new devices to help text messaging
66.We can infer from me text that _____.
A.most people realize the harmfulness of distracted driving
B.the disabling devices in cars will be widely used if it is free
C.most people would like to choose hands-free devices while driving
D.the writer is not sure whether disabling devices will be accepted by the drivers

When I was eight, I saw a movie about an island that had an erupting volcano and jungles filled with wild animals.The island was ruled by a beautiful woman called Tondalaya, the Fire Goddess of the Volcano.It was a low budget movie, but to me, it represented the perfect life.But through the years, Tondalaya was forgotten.
The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end.My house, furniture and everything I'd owned was sold to pay debts that I didn't even know existed.In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce in the family.

The past six years have been filled with adventures.My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the crater rim (火山口边缘) of the volcano.We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us.

A young 37 viewing the paintings ahead of me 38 nonstop between themselves.I watched them a moment and decided the lady was doing all the talking.I admired the man's 39 for putting up with her 40 stream of words. 41 by their noise, I moved on.
I met them several times as I moved 42 the various rooms of art.Each time I heard her continuous flow of words, I moved away 43 .
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a 44 when the couple approached the 45 .Before they left, the man 46 into his pocket and pulled out a white object.He 47 it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the 48 to get his wife's jacket.
"He's a 49 man." the clerk at the counter said."Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age.During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn't change.
