You have the ability to decide if you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice.

You can't depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early on in my marriage. I realized that I couldn't rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on me and not my husband's actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.

You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within; it can't be forced by outside forces. So how do you choose happiness? The same way you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit. You choose it because that's what you want to experience in your life.

You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feel good. You wouldn't buy a pair of shoes that you don't like or that don't fit well, right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don't make us feel good?

Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one can do that for us. If we let others get to us, influence our emotions - we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.

We need to keep our feelings in check and not react automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.

Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don't dwell on what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.

56．What’s the best title of this passage?

　　 A. Pretend to Be Happy　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Choose Your Emotions

　　　 Most children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.

　　　 Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as bullying or arguments. Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive(冒犯性的)or illegal aims. Children must be made aware（意识到的） of both the good things and the dangers.

　　　 To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV programs are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Reminding them of the risks will keep them alert(警惕).

　　　 Computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so it’s likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gadgets（小玩意）and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations(缩写)such as: atb-all the best, bbfn-bye bye for now, cul8er-see you later, gr8-great, Idk-I don’t know, imbl-it must be love, kit-keep in touch, paw-parents are watching, lol-laugh out loud, xlnt-excellent!

　　　 It seems like another language, and it is!

44．The passage is meant for 　　　 .

A. children　　　　　　 B. parents　　　　　　 C. teachers　　　　　 D. net bar owners

45．Which of the following will the author probably agree with?

A. The Internet is no good for children.　　　 　

B. The chat language is strange to adults.

C. Children shouldn’t chat so much online.

D. The Internet is a good place for children.

46．In order to keep children safe online, you’d better 　　　 .

A. choose suitable websites and chat rooms for them

B. teach them to use correct net words

C. surf the Internet together with them

D. forbid them to use the Internet

47．If you stand beside him when your son is chatting about something secret online, he may use 　　　 .

　　Would you like to be a king or queen?To have people waiting on you hand and foot?Many Americans experience this royal treatment every day．How?By being customers．The American idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention．Need proof?Just listen to the commercials．Most of them sound like the McDonald's ad：“We do it all for you．”Actually, not all stores in America roll out the red carpet for their customers．But wherever you go, good customer service means making customers feel special．

　　People going shopping in America can expect to be treated with respect from the very beginning．Most places don't have a“furniture street”or a“computer road”which allow you to compare prices easily．Instead, people often“let their fingers do the walking”through the store hot lines．From the first“hello”, customers receive a satisfying response to their questions．This initial contact can help them decide where to shop．

　　When customers get to the store, they are treated as honored guests．Customers don't usually find store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards．Instead, the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want．In most stores, the clear signs that label each department make shopping a breeze．Customers usually don't have to ask how much items cost, since prices are clearly marked．And unless they're at a flea market or a yard sale, they don't bother trying to bargain．

　　When customers are ready to check out, they find the nearest and shortest checkout lane．But as Murphy's Law would have it, whichever lane they get in, all the other lanes will move faster．Good stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes get too long．Some even offer express lanes for customers with 10 items or less．After they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a warm“thank you”from the clerk．Many stores even allow customers to take their shopping carts out to the parking lot．That way, they don't have to carry heavy bags out to the car．

We do some strange things when we don’t like the way our life is going．Too often we blame(责怪)someone else．‘‘I wish my parents were more understanding．”
“I have such a bad Chemistry teacher!”
“My friends are so boring and self-centered．They make my life worse and worse．’’
Blame! Blame! Blame!
It seems natural to sing this self-pitying song，but the truth is，if you don’t like your life，you should do something about it．No one else knows exactly how you feel or what you need．No one can read your mind correctly．You are the only one with the power to cheek your life，and if you want it to be different，you can change what you’re doing．
When you’re in trouble，don’t give away your power to decide how you feel about yourself. Choose how you want to think and act．Other people can’t make you unhappy or angry．They only act in their own way and then it’s up to you to decide how you will respond(回应)．For example，your friends go out to lunch without you and you feel very angry．How are you going to act? You may blame your friends，“They are not kind．Who needs them anyway?” Or you may tell your friends how you feel，listen to their explanation，and let them know you’d like to be invited next time．
When you decide everything in your own way，you’re getting hold of your own life and shaping(塑造)it according to your tastes and feelings．You can choose to be happy，to make friends and to build an interesting life．When you blame others for what is or isn’t happening in your life，you have stopped growing or learning．
One of the most important rules is that you can never change another person by your direct action．The only person you have the right to change is yourself．Once you change，the other person has something different to respond to and change is possible．If you want change in your life，begin with yourself．
