We all know that money can’t buy happiness,but many times we act as if we’d be happier with a bit more money. We are conditioned to want to be rich (when we know the rich aren’t happy either); we are trained to want the latest gadget(小玩意儿) or style that television tells us to want; we want to earn more money because then we’ll have the good life.
  But none of that will bring us happiness. No matter how much we earn, how much we have in the bank, how nice our clothing or cars or toys, none of it will make us happier.
  So what will bring us happiness? Luckily, it’s three things that don’t cost a thing. These three things have been proven by surveys of thousands of people about what they have, what their lives are like, and how happy they are.
  Here they are, the Three Secrets to Happiness:
  1. Good relationships. We have a human need to be close, to be intimate, with other human beings. Having good, supportive friendships, a strong marriage or close and loving relationships with our family members will make us much more likely to be happy.

Action steps: Take time, today, to spend time with your loved ones.

  2. Positive thinking. I’m obviously a big proponent of positive thinking as the best way to achieve your goals, but it turns out that it can lead to happiness too. Optimism and self-esteem are some of the best indicators of people who lead happy lives.

Action steps: Make positive thinking a habit. Get into the habit of squashing all negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones. Instead of “I can’t” think “I can”.
  3. Flow. This is a popular concept on the Internet these days — the state we enter when we are completely focused on the work or task before us. We are so buried in our task that we lose track of time. Having work and leisure that get you in this state of flow will almost undoubtedly lead to happiness.

People find greatest enjoyment not when they’re passively mindless, but when they’re absorbed in a mindful challenge.

Action steps: Find work that you have a passion for. Seriously — this is an extremely important step. Find hobbies that you have a passion for. Turn off the TV — this is the opposite of flow — and get outside and do something that truly engages you.
  You’ve been given the Three Secrets to Happiness. Don’t waste them!

61.  Which of the following is the most proper title of this passage?

A. The secrets to happiness           B. What is happiness?

C. Money and happiness             D. Who are happy?

62.  The writer expresses his ______ attitude towards money and wealth.

A. negative    B. supportive    C. objective   D. respective

63.  The underlined word “squashing” can be replaced by “ ______”.

A. removing   B. scolding    C. repairing   D. reducing 

64.  The writer talks about the happiness by means of ______ in this passage.

A. opinions and advice      B. facts and comparisons

C. examples and analysis     D. observations and conclusions
