The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It1me of how many people I’ve seen who take the yellow light as a signal to go faster. I also can’t2why people don’t move when the traffic light has turned green. Above all, there are those3situations in which someone doesn’t even4that the light is red, and just keeps going; that is how many accidents happen. All these situations make me5about the purpose of traffic lights.
However, it’s even more6to imagine letting people make their own7at a crowded traffic crossing. Who decides who goes next?8I guess I do like the idea of a system to9traffic. And I also do my best to10the traffic signals: to go, to be11, and to stop when I’m supposed to.
It occurs to me that my12have done much the same for me in terms of13me how to live. They have given me many14lights: to live in harmony with others to help others, to live with15and purpose. They have also given me some red lights so that my16doesn’t goastray(走入歧途): to watch my temper, and to control my desires. And there have been some yellow lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, to17school regularly and work hard.
If I obey these signals, my life will be as18as it can. Just as I’m wise to pay attention to the traffic lights when I’m walking19the street, I’m wise to pay attention to the “life20” given me by my parents.

You have the ability to decide whether 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 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 myself 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, and it can’t be forced by outside force. So how do you choose happiness? The same way, you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit（一套衣服）. You choose it because that’s what you want to experience in you life.
You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feels good. You wouldn’t buy a pair of shoes that you don’t like or that doesn’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 else 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 to react（反应） 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（使转变）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（细想） 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.
64. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Pretend to Be Happy
B. Choose Your Emotions
C. Choose to Be Happy
D. Find Happiness
65. The lesson the writer learned in her marriage is .
A. one can’t depend on someone else to make himself or herself happy
B. balancing the relationship between husband and wife is an art
C. she can depend on her husband to find happiness
D. happiness can be influenced by outside force
66. Why did the writer mention buying shoes?
A. To offer advice on how to choose comfortable shoes.
B. To use it as an example to illustrate（阐述）her point of view.
C. To compare choosing shoes and choosing an outfit.
D. To help move to the next paragraph easily.
67. The writer suggests that we should .
A. let others control our feelings
B. respond immediately to others’ words
C. hold back our feelings properly
D. pay more attention to words than actions

46 after almost seven months of complaining about everything, I realized that complaining didn’t change things. 47 just made my life worse.

After about four months, I started enjoying reading the crime and sports stories. After six months of studying, my teachers 51 my improvement and moved me into a more 52 English class.
