"The days that make us happy make us wise."--John Masefield.
When I first read this line by England"s Poet Laureate(桂冠诗人),I was amazed.What did Masefield
mean?Without thinking about it much,I had always assumed that the opposite was true.But his calm
assurance(自信) was remarkable.I could not forget it.
Finally ,I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound (意义深远的)observation.The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear understanding,not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed(变暗淡) by despair and boredom,and without the blind spots caused by fear.
Active happiness-not more satisfaction or contentment-often comes suddenly,like an April shower or
the unfolding of a bud(蓓蕾).Then you discover what kind of wisdom has accompanied it.The grass is
greener;bird songs are sweeter;the shortcomings of your friends are more understandable and more
forgivable.Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your spiritual vision.
The insight of happiness are not limited to what is near around you.Unhappy ,with your thoughts turned in
upon your emotional sadness,your vision is cut short as though by a wall.Happy ,the wall crumbles(倒塌).
The long vista(展望)is there for the seeing.The ground at your feet,the world about you-people ,
thoughts,emotions,pressures-are now fitted into the larger scene.Everything assumes a fairer proportion
(比例、关系).
And here is the beginning of wisdom.
B. Because he had never thought about that before
C. Because he thought it was impossible to be both happy and wise
D. Because he thought it rubbish for Masefield to write something like that
B．comprehension
C．Cooperation
D．Responsibility
B．active happiness happens when a bud unfolds
C．it occurs when your understanding of everything is better
D．it happens out of our expectation
B.looking at things from different angles
C.considering advantages and disadvantages
D.sweeping
down irresistibly from a commanding height答案

Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings.Instead, realize that the
seeds of success were planted within you when you were born.Only you have the power to make those
seeds grow.
The seeds and the power to grow them are contained in the human mind.Success is a choice but not a
chance.You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing yourselfesteem (自尊). Your level of selfesteem is
always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life.People with low selfesteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives.They
are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance brought about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever happens in your life.Failures think that everything happens by accident while successful people
realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something.If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect.We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe.Thoughts and beliefs cause
everything.Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time.One
generally rises to the level that one expects.We are responsible fo
r setting our expectations.Our success depends upon our level of confidence.We are responsible for either reinforcing good habits or kicking
bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.
If you associate with positivethinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success.On the
contrary, the opposite happens.We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing (培育) the seeds
that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible.Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.
1. Losers would think that________.
A. success is the result of hard work
B. working hard will lead to success
C. they fail only because of bad luck
D. they don"t make efforts to succeed
2. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that________.
A. whether we will succeed depends on our attit
udesB. developing confidence is the key to future success
C. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D. setting our expectations is essential before taking action
3. The last paragraph serves as________.
A. the proof of the author"s point
B. the conclusion of the argument
C. an introduction to another topic
D. a comparison between two views
4. Which is the best title of the text?
A. Success is a choice
B. The secrets of success
C. Develop our confidence
D. How to achieve success
looking forward to for a long time.Then the telephone rings,you say hello,and the drama starts.The person on the other end has a depressing (令人沮丧的) tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his
morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to.Are you still in a wonderful mood?Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness.It may not change what you think,
but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs,but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to
offer.They only feel glad when they make others feel bad.No wonder they can hardly win others" pity or
respect.
When you communicate with positive people,your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.When the dagger (匕首) of a negative person is put in you,you have the heavy feeling that all
in all,brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people.This could be a coworker,or a relative.In this case,say what needs to be said as little as possible.Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person,but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they
won"t feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized.The negative words of another at the
start of the day can cling to (附着) you throughout the rest of your day,which makes you feel bad and
steals your happiness.Life is too short to feel negative.Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as
possible.
1．The purpose of the first paragraph is to________.
A．make a comparison
B．offer an evidence
C．introduce a topic
D．describe a daily scene
2．How can negative people have effect on us?
A．By influencing our emotion.
B．By telling us the nature of life.
C．By changing our way of thinking.
D．By comparing their attitude to life with ours.
3．Some negative people base their happiness on________.
A．other people"s pity for them
B．making other people unhappy
C．building up a positive attitude
D．other people"s respect for them
4．According to the passage,to reduce negative people"s influence on us,we are advised________.
A．to change negative people"s attitude to life
B．to show our dissatisfaction to negative people
C．to make negative people feel ashamed of themselves
D．to communicate with negative people as little as possible
I don"t think I"m always not good.When I find what I"ve done or written is okay,I"ll remain pleased with my
self for quite a few days,and if I receive praise for it,I"ll even become so excited as to add a few words to
reward myself.
True,I"m not modest at all.People may call me conceited (自负的)．But I think otherwise.
I appreciate other people.I appreciate anything good.Isn"t it unfair to forget appreciating myself while
appreciating others?
We Chinese generally tend to be modest,and we take pride in being so.F
or example,a C
hinese man willcall his own wife zhuojing,meaning"my humble wife",and his own writings zhuozuo,meaning"my poor
writings"．But if you call his wife a "rustic (乡村的) woman" or his writings"trash",he would,I"m sure,
declare he would make a clean break with you angrily.As a matter of fact,there is probably no difference
at all between what is said by him and you.
I don"t think it"s wrong of you to freely praise yourself if you
"re really worthy of praise.As we know,thereis an old Chinese saying disparaging (蔑视) a melon seller,named Lao Wang,who keeps praising his own
goods.Well,why can"t he praise his melons if they are really sweet and juicy?
Lao Wang sells melons for a living.How could he carry on business if he,by imitating the affectations
(装模作样) of us intellectuals,were to show false modesty about his melons?He would sure enough die of
starvation.
Selfappreciation is therefore a key to professional dedication and enjoyment of work.Needless to say,
the same is true of those who make a living with their pen.One will lose confidence in writing when he stops
admiring his own essays.
B．is pleased to be a good writer
C．is too conceited
D．thinks it unfair to appreciate others
B．Negative.
C．Neutral.
D．Careless.
B．melon sellers should praise their goods
C．reasonable selfappreciation is good
D．writers should learn from Lao Wang
B．considerate
C．respectful
D．confident
email and phone.But I did feel claustrophobic (患幽闭恐怖症的)．With wheels on my desk chair and
the refrigerator just two feet away,I could work for twelve straight hours without ever standing up.There
was no physical separation between my living room and work table,so the only way I found to feel like I
was going "home" at the end of the day was to forbid my use of the working chair.At ninethirty at night,
when I turned my computer off,I felt a bit like the family dog reaching the high point of its day,"Whoohoo!
I get to go for a walk!" Then,around eleventhirty,I"d find myself turning on the computer again to solve
some work issue that was preoccupying me...
At the same time,I discovered that working this way had definite advantages.Not only did I save an
hour from going to work and back home,I also gained a great deal of control over my time.There were
fewer interruptions than in an office,I could schedule meetings and phone calls in blocks to increase the
productive time around them,and the easy access to my workspace late at night and on weekends could
obviously be of mixed effects.This was especially important to me since,in addition to consulting work,I
was writing fiction and planning a new business.Working at home allowed me to manage all of these
activities at once without losing significant sleep.This turned out to be well worth the claustrophobia,which
also faded as I became more used to the new routine.A short walk in the late afternoon could reduce the
shutin feeling and make me get energetic again to work through the evening.
You might think that,with all this added time flexibility,I would even find a few hours to clean my
apartment,but,unfortunately,this never happened.
B．she worked long hours
C．she couldn"t go for a walk
D．she worked alone for long
B．In an office.
C．In a hospital.
D．At a newspaper.
B．It had advantages and disadvantages.
C．She didn"t like it at all.
D．She enjoyed working late.
B．She enjoyed doing her work.
C．It allowed her little spare time.
D．It was too hard for her.
