Section B

　　There are two types of people in the world．Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy．This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds．

　　The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather．They enjoy all the cheerful and positive things．They are in good spirits all the time．People like to make friends with them and are happy when they are successful．It can make you popular among your classmates and strengthen the relationship with others．

　　Those who are to be unhappy always think and speak the negative things．So they are continually discontented．Those people tend to criticize and offend others, which makes themselves disagreeable everywhere．No one loves them and treats them as their friends．No one shows respect to them, either．They should change this bad habit, or they would not live a happier life．

听力原文：(Text 10)

　　W：Welcome to our program．Today we have invited Fred Watson, a driving instructor of over 20 years experience to talk to us about learning to drive．Well, Fred, do you think it’s getting more expensive to learn to drive these days?

　　M：Well, it depends．If you come for a private instructor like me, it’s probably going to be a bit less expensive than going to a big school．The thing is, people have usually heard of the big school and trust them．Well, I get customers through personal connections．

　　W：Does that mean you have to try harder to get customers??

　　M：Not now, when I started I have to．But at the moment I am fully booked and my prices are quite competitive．

　　W：Learning to drive is usually a nervous experience for beginners．What do you think?

　　M：Well, it can be．But I try to get them to sit quietly in the drive’s seat for a few moments．With their eyes closed, you will be surprised how it changed some people．They fell much more ready for driving if they had a few quiet moments．

　　W：Yes, I suppose some people are much more nervous than others．
