A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile(敌意的)person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.

Mirrors have a very particular　 __36__. They reflect the image in front of them. Just as a　 __37__　 mirror works as the vehicle to reflection, __38__　 do all of the people in our lives.

When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden, that garden　 __39__　 a reflection. When we love someone，it's a(n)　 __40__　 of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like “I love how I am when I'm with that person”. That simply　 __41__　 into “I'm able to love me when I love that other person”.　 __42__， when we meet someone new, we feel as though we “click”. Sometimes it's as if we've　 __43__　 each other for a long time. That feeling can come from　 __44__　 similarities.

Just as the “mirror” or other people can be a positive reflection，it is more likely that we'll　 __45__ it when it has a negative connotation(内涵).　 __46__，it's easy to remember the times when we have met someone we're not particularly　 __47__　 about. We may have some criticism(批评)in our mind about the　 __48__. This is especially true when we get to know someone with whom we would rather spend　 __49__　 time.

Often, when we　 __50__　 qualities in other people, ironically(讽刺地), it's usually the mirror that's　 __51__　 to us.

At times we meet someone　 __52__　 and feel distant disconnected, or disgusted.　 __53__　 we don't want to believe it，and it's not easy or　 __54__　 to look further，it can be a great learning lesson to　 __55__　 what part of the person is being reflected in you. It's simply just another way to create more self?awareness.

　　　 One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled (铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 　36　

　　　 Once I heard a bald man said, “whenever I enter a room 　37　 I see is hair.” Once you’ve 　38

what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will 39 make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different 　40 , or forget about it and 　41 the tiles in your life that are not missing.

　　　 We all know people who have a relatively 　42 life, yet are essentially unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 　43 remain happy.

　　　 The first 　44 is gratitude. All happy people are 　45 . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 　46 , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.

　　　 The second secret is 　47 that happiness is a byproduct (副产品) of something else. The most obvious 　48 are those pursuit (追求) that give our lives purpose — anything 　49 studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are 　50 to experience.

　　　 Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our 　51 has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We 52 a spiritual faith, or a philosophy, it should 53 this truth: if you choose to find the 　54 in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is 55 your decision to make.

‘Long time no see’ is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s E-mail, I 　36 . I thought it was a classic example of Chinglish.

　 Obviously, it is a word-to-word 　37 translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruined English structure and grammar! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I had too many 　38 to believe her. Her words were not convincing enough. So I did a 　39 on google.com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages 　40 ‘Long time no see’. This sentence has been 　41 used in E-mails, letters, newspapers, movies, books or any other possible place. Though it is 　42 informal, it is part of the language Americans use daily. Ironically(讽刺地说), if you type this sentence in Microsoft Word, the 　43 will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.

　 Nobody knows the 　44 of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully 　45 a world wide famous Chinese detective named ‘Charlie Chan’ on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom 　46 using what Confucius said. ‘Long time no see’ was his trademark. 　47 Charlie Chan, ‘Long time no see’ became a popular phrase in the real world thanks to the popularity of the movies.

　 Some people 　48 America to a huge melting pot（大熔炉）. All kinds of culture are 　49 in the pot together, and then change the color and taste of each other. American Chinese though a minority ethnic group in the United States, has also contributed some changes to the stew（大杂烩）! Language is usually the first thing to be 　50 in the mixed pot.
