Although they have equal degrees Of health and WeaIth and the other comforts of life, One becomes happy, the other becomes miserable. ThiS arises from differe nt WayS in WhiCh they Con Sider thin gs, PerS ons, and even ts, and the result ing effects UPon their min ds.The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the COnVenienCeS of things, the PIeaSant PartS ofConVerSation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the Wines, and fine weather. They enjoy all the CheerfUI thin gs. Those who are to be Un happy thi nk and SPeak Only Of the Con trary thi ngs. Therefore, they are Con ti nu ally discOntented. By their remarks, they sour the PIeaSUreS of society, Offend many people, and make themselvesdisagreeable everywhere. If this turn Of mind Were foun ded in n ature, SUCh Un happy PerS OnS would be the more to be CritiCal. The tendency to CritiCiZe and be disgusted is PerhaPS taken UP originally by imitation. It grows into a habit, UnknoWn to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be CUred Whe n those who have it are ConVinCed ofThe ConferenCe ViSit is a 25 of doing bus in ess throughout the 26 world. Often, you will have to discuss your 27 in the PreSe nce of Stra ngers, 28 may or may not have anything to do With your bus in ess. Do not be 29 if your meeting is interrupted SeVeraI times by people who come into the room UnannoUnced, whisper, or SPeak softly to the PerS on30 whom you are talk ing and leave. 21.A. bad B. efficie nt C. quick D. accepted 22.

WithC. i nviti ngD. aga inst(2*15=30)its bad effects On their in terests and tastes. I hope this little Warning may be of SerViCe to them, and help Cha nge this habit.Although in fact it is Chiefly an act Of the imaginatiOn, it has SerioUS ConSeqUences in life, SinCe it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people Offend many others, no body loves them, and no one treats them With more than the most com mon polite ness and respect, and SCarCeIy that. ThiS freque ntly PUt them in had-temper and draws them into argume nts. If they aim at obta ining some adva ntages in rank or fortune, n Obody WiSheS them success. Nor will anyone Stir a SteP or SPeak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves PUbIiC disapproval, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to CritiCiZe their miscOnduct. TheSe people should Change this had habit and con desce nd (俯就)to be PIeaSed With What is pleas ing, WithOUt worry ing n eedlessly about themselves and Others. If they do no t, it will be good for OtherS to avoid any con tact With them. Otherwise, it Can be disagreeable and SOmetimeS Very inconvenient, especially Whe n One becomes mixed UP in their quarrels.31. People who are to be Un happy ___ .A. always Con Sider things differe ntly from OtherSB. usually are in flue need by the results of Certa in thingsC. Can discover the Un PIeaSa nt Part of Certa in thingsD. usually have a fault-fining habit32.

WhiCh of the followi ng Stateme nts is NoT true accord ing to the passage?A. We should Pity all SUCh UnhaPPy people.B. SUCh Un happy people are CritiCaI about everyth ing.C. If SUCh Unhappy people recognize the bad effects of the habit on themselves they may get rid of it.D. SUCh Un happy people are also not content With themselves.34. The PhraSe SCarCeIy that" means __ .A. JUSt like that"B. …almost, not like 一 that"C. more tha n that"D. "not at all like that"35.

They don't think they are the happiest of the people around them. They would point out that one of their neighbors is happier than anyone of them, “Doctor Frank has a career himself. His wife is the most beautiful and well-educated lady in the community. No, I don't think I am happier than Doctor Frank. At least my career is not as successful as his.”Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier, a relative, a close friend or, often, someone we even hardly know. I once met a young man who struck me as particularly successful and happy. He spoke of his love for his beautiful wife and their daughters, and of his joy at being a TV talk-show host. I remember thinking he was one of the lucky few for whom everything goes effortlessly right. Once we talked about the Internet, he is grateful for its existence. He told me, because he could look up information on diabetes, the terrible disease that made his wife suffer and could possibly be passed down to his lovely children. When I heard this, I felt like a fool for taking it for granted that nothing unhappy existed in his life.This made me think a lot and I soon drew one of the most significant conclusions about happiness: there is little relation between the situations of people's lives and how happy they are. We all know people who are richer and have an easier life than others, yet they are essentially unhappy. And we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. Unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest fault. As a bald man told。

Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes miserable. This arises from 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 fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the contrary things. Therefore, they are continually discontented. By their remarks, they sour the pleasures of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be critical. The tendency to criticize and be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are convinced of its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious consequences in life, since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect, and scarcely that. This frequently put them in had-temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining some advantages in rank or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone stir a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public disapproval, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their misconduct. These people should change this had habit and condescend (俯就) to be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.31. People who are to be unhappy _____.A. always consider things differently from othersB. usually are influenced by the results of certain thingsC. can discover the unpleasant part of certain thingsD. usually have a fault-fining habit32. The phrase “sour the pleasures of society” most nearly means ____.A. “have a good taste to the pleasures of society”B. “aren’t content with the pleasures of society”C. “feel happy with the pleasures of society”D. “enjoy the pleasures of society”33. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. We should pity all such unhappy people.B. Such unhappy people are critical about everything.C. If such unhappy people recognize the bad effects of the habit on themselves they may get rid of it.D. Such unhappy people are also not content with themselves.34. The phrase “scarcely that” means _____.A. “just like that”B. “almost not like that”C. “more than that”D. “ not at all like that”35. If such unhappy persons don’t change their had behavior, the author’s solution to the problem is that _____.A. people should avoid contact with themB. people should criticize their misconductC. people should help them recognize the bad effects of the habitD. people should show no respect and politeness to themPassage 2For those of you who where born in the year of the pig, good luck and much success!
