The significantwords found on an old key —"If I rest, I will rust"—would be an excellent motto for those who are tired of their slightest bit of idleness
(懒散).
Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their abilities polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gates that guard the entrance to the professions, to science, art, literature, or agriculture —- every department of human efforts.
Industry(勤奋)　keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement.
If Hugh Miller, after working hard all day in a mine, had devoted his evenings to rest and relaxation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The outstanding mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to the science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness. Had the little Scottish boy, Ferguson, allowed his busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the positions of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer.

Five Happiness Secrets For Tough Times

Sonja Lyubomirsky, an author, has researched the science of happiness for years.

Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts

of happiness throughout the day.

61. ________

“You could spend a lot of time thinking deeply,” says Lyubomirsky. “But that

just makes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and effects your self

esteem. Your relationships will suffer and your job performance will suffer.”

Get rid of pessimism. One of the most effective ways to cope when things are

difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy. “What can I learn from this? Times

are tough, I’ve been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids,

adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills.”

62. ________

Now more than ever we need each other to survive. Lyubomirsky found that doing

good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier. Think of practical,

everyday gestures that can make someone’s life a little bit easier. For example,

Lyubomirsky says, “Maybe now many of us can’t afford to take a cab to the airport, so

offer to give a friend a ride.”

63. ________

You don’t need an expert to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness.

Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid’s needs can

weighh down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus

on caring for your loved ones.

“I was at a psychology conference where an expert was talking about the effects

of this economy on families and how parents can’t afford to buy their kids luxuries

like toys anymore,” says Lyubomirsky. “But what they don’t realize is that kids don’t

care about toys — what they care about is parents being grumpy and taking it out on

them.”

64. ________

“If you find a happy person you will find a project,” says Lyubomirsky. “Happy

people all have goals they care about.”

Commit yourself to a project – whether it is a business you want to start or a dance

you want to learn. But it’s also important to remember to be flexible in these times.

Don’t get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting your goals. Adopt

and change!

“If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,” says

Lyubomirsky. “Or you might have to learn a whole new skill for a new job.”

65. ________

When times are tough, it’s easy to get skip your regular workouts in favor of moping

in front of the TV and eating a bag of chips. Your thinking is “I have more important

things to worry about right now than looking good.”

But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC. It will go a

long way in boosting your happiness. “Even if you can’t afford to go to the gym,”

Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home.”

You don't need an expert to tell your that relationships are critical to happiness. Not

being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid's needs can weigh

down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on

bringing up your loved ones.

What the science teacher does and says       of great importance to college students.

When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter（炼铜厂），and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest．One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area．Paul knocked him down．From then on, something happened inside him.

Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office．He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back．The answer from that big industry was “No”.

Paul then went to college to study the science of plants．Unfortunately, his teachers said there weren't any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds．It would be a waste of his life to try to do it．Everyone knew that, he was told．Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn’t get his idea accepted．

Paul later got married and had some kids．But his dream would not die．And then one night he did what he could with what he had．As Samuel Johnson wrote, “It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote．Attainable good is often ignored by minds busied in wide ranges.” Under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting.

And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass．For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense．Slowly rabbits appeared．Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.

Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has．It took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow he made to himself as a child.

When Paul was a boy，______________.

       A．he had decided never to leave his hometown

       B．the economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelter

       C．no laws were made to protect the environment against pollution

       D．he had determined to stop the copper smelter polluting the area

Why did Paul go to college to study the science of plants？

       A．Because he wanted to find out the best way to save the area himself.

       B．Because he was interested in planting trees since he was young.

       C．Because he wanted to get more knowledgeable people to help him.

       D．Because he thought his knowledge would make his advice more persuasive.

What does the underlined phrase “the plain common sense” probably refer to?

       A．That it was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland.

       B．That his normal work and life would be greatly affected.

       C．That no one would like to join him in the efforts.

       D．That he had to keep everything he did secret.

The company hired Paul to plant trees and grass because___________.

     A．they realized the importance of environmental protection

     B．What Paul was doing moved them

     C．Paul persuaded them to help him

     D．they had legal pressure

       B．perseverance（持之以恒）will work wonders

       C．God helps those who help themselves

       D．many hands make light work
