In all the world he owned just the clothes he stood up in, a full suitcase and a bank account. Arriving anywhere with these possessions, he might just as easily put up for a month or a year as for a single night. For long stays, not less than a month, he might take a furnished flat, sometimes even a house. But whatever the length, he hardly needed anything he did not have with him.Becket had one occasional anxiety: the suspicion(怀疑) that he owned more than would fit comfortably into the case. The feeling, when it came, was the signal for him to throw something away, for example his worn-out clothes, or just leave it lying about, keeping just a raincoat, a suit, a pair of shoes and a few shirts, socks and so on; no more in the clothing line. He bought and read many books, and left them where he happened to be sitting when he finished them, which quickly found new owners.Becket was a professional traveler, interested and interesting. He was not one to do a country in a week or a city in 3 days. He liked to get the feel of a place by living in it, reading its newspapers, watching its TV, discussing its affairs. He always tried to make a few friends—if necessary even by stopping a suitable-looking person in the street and talking to him. It worked well in about one case in ten. Tho ugh Becket’s health gave him no cause for worry, he made a point of seeing a doctor as soon as he arrived anywhere. “A doctor knows a place and its people better than anyone.” he used to say. He never went to see a doctor; he always sent for one. That, he found, was the quickest way to have confidences (倾诉), which came out freely as soon as he mentioned that he was a writer.Becket was an artist as well. He painted pictures of his places and, when he had gathered enough information, he wrote about them. He sold his works, through an agent, to newspapers and magazines. It was an agreeable sort of life for a good social mixer, living nearly always in fine weather, and as Becket never stayed anywhere for long, he enjoyed the satisfying advantage of paying very little in tax.41. What do we know about Becket’s possessions?A. He left most of his things at home when he traveled.B. He had enough baggage to stay for one night.C. He carried all of them around with him.D .He had thrown or given them away.42. If anything worried Becket，it was_______.A. the poor state of his healthB. the fact that he owned so littleC. the habit of having things lying aboutD. the thought of having too much baggage43. What was the usual result when Becket talked to strangers in the street?A. The approach failed in its purpose.B. He made many new friends that way.C. The people he spoke to felt annoyed with him.D. People thought he was ill and sent him for a doctor.四、任务型阅读Shared habits of happy peopleHappy people all share happy habits. It’s as simple as that. The happiest people I know share these obvious habits. If you’re looking to e xpand your general happiness, you may consider adopting these in your own life.People may take an active role in their local city council, join a social club supporting causes they believe in, or find passion in their careers. In each case, the physiological outcome is thesame. They participate in something they strongly believe in. This engagement brings happiness and meaning into their lives.A happy life is a life shared with friends and family. The stronger the personal relationships are and the higher the frequency of interaction is, the happier a person will be.Quite often people concentrate too much on negative outcomes and leave no time to reflect positively on their successes. It’s natural for a person to want to correct undesirable circumstances and focus closely on doing so, but it is important to reflect mindfully on the good while striving diligently to correct the bad. A continuous general awareness of your daily successes can have a noticeably positive effect on your overall emotional happiness.The power of endings is quite remarkable. The end of any experience has a great impact on a person’s overall perception(看法) of the experience as a whole. Think about reading a well-written novel. Now imagine the ending is really poor. Even if the story was captivating(有吸引力的) until the ending, would you still be happy recommending the novel to a friend? People always remember the ending. If the ending is happy, the experience creates happiness. Always tie loose ends, leave things on a good note, and create happy endings in your life whenever possible.Everyone possesses unique personal strengths. We all have different talents and skill sets. Emotional happiness comes naturally to those who use their strengths to get things done. The state of completion always creates, a sense of achievement. If the achievement is based on your own personal ability to get the job done, the physiological rewards are priceless.The best things in life are free. They come in the form of simple pleasures and they appear right in front of you at various locations and arbitrary times. They are governed by Mother Nature and situational circumstances and captured by mindful awareness. It's all about taking a moment to notice the orange and pink sunset reflecting off the pond water as you hold hands with someone you love. Noticing these moments and taking part in them regularly will bring unplanned bursts of。
