一What is the difference between happy people and unhappy people? 36 Read the following list of things that HAPPY people do differently from UNHAPPY people and you will know. Well, I can tell you for sure that those people who are really happy, FEAR less and LOVE a lot more. They see each moment, each challenge, each person as an opportunity to discover more about themselves and the world around them. 37 Happy people understand that you can’t really change a situation by resisting（反抗）it. But they can feel better by understanding that there might be a reason for its existence（存在）. 38 But rather, they ask themselves questions like: What can I learn from this? How can I make this better? They always seem to be pleasant and hopeful no matter what happens to them. They do the things they do because of the meaning it brings into their lives and because they get a sense of purpose by doing so. 39 They care more about living a life full of meaning rather than, what in our modern society we would call, living a successful life. The fact here is that most of the time they get both, success and meaning, just because they choose to focus on doing the things they love the most. 40 They make sure that their actions bring meaning and happiness in the lives of many. They look for ways to give and to share the best of themselves with the world and to make other people happy. A. They have an ideal living and a balanced life. B. What are the things that these people do differently? C. They are kind to themselves and others and they understand the power of love. D. The things happy people do are not for themselves, but for the good of others. E. They are ready to embrace whatever lies in front of them. F. They understand that “Doing what you love is the most important for living a full life”. G. When something unpleasant happens to them, they don’t try to fight it, knowing that this will make the situation even worse.

2 Two hundred years after Charles Darwin’s birth, studies have found new details of his life at the University of Cambridge. Six leather-bound ledgers (皮革账本) discovered in the university show this. 36 He lived in the most expensive rooms provided for a rich student at his time. 37 He had someone to clean his room, make his bed and take care of the fire in his bright rooms. He hired a dishwasher, a clothes washer and a man who cleaned his shoes. A tailor (裁缝), hatter and barber made sure he was well presented. A chimney cleaner and a coalman kept his fire going. Christ’s College’s basic food was meat and beer. 38 Darwin’s bill topped 636 pounds during his three years of study at Cambridge. Later he described this time as the most joyful of his happy life. That large sum (金额) would have been fairly common for a student at Cambridge in the 19th century. 39 In those days Cambridge was full of rich students living a pretty good life and Darwin was just one of them. 40 And thus he had plenty of time for socializing or private study. He would be out shooting, collecting beetles, doing his scientific hobbies or visiting friends. He played cards and drank wine at night, just like students always have. A. Thanks to the richness, he was able to hire servants to help with the daily life. B. The findings were published on the Internet. C. So he paid five and a half pence extra each day to have vegetables. D. He enjoyed the kind of comfortable university life that most of today’s students can only dream about. E. He had several people to help him to deal with the daily housework. F. When you look at the ledgers, you can find there were many rich students in Cambridge. G. The bills were paid by his wealthy father, Robert Darwin, a doctor.

3 Khalid Mohsin Shaeri, a Saudi man, has been unable to leave his bedroom for the past two and a half years. 36 His situation drew the attention of Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah and he showed great concern about him. Six months ago, he asked for Khalid to be taken to the hospital. 37 Finally on Monday the 20-year-old patient was successfully taken to King Fahd Medical City in Riyadh after the Saudi King arranged（安排） for his special air transportation from the southern city of Jazan. Saudi government organizations worked with Shaeri’s construction department to accomplish this task. 38 A forklift（铲车）was also used to carry him to an ambulance（救护车） which took him to a local airport in Jazan. An aircraft then flew him to Riyadh. “We have been waiting for this moment for a long time. 39 “ Naser Makke, the patient’s cousin, told Reuters excitedly. “The King had given his orders to the government of health to do all the arrangements to transfer the patient for treatment in a safe way. May God protect our King and give him the long life. ” According to Reuters, Shaeri was reported to have a brother and sister who are also overweight. 40 Local media reported that the Saudi Health Ministry has already dealt with other over-weight patients this year, including two sisters who weighed 661 pounds and 771 pounds. A. But compared to Shaeri, what makes them better is that they are able to walk. B. He had been in hospitals for several times but that didn’t save him from getting fatter. C. His weight, 610 kilograms, made him unable to move and forced him to stay in bed. D. Part of his home was broken down so he could be brought down from the second floor. E.

His family had a traditional fat disease and his parents were also very fat.
