One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled (铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is
36
Once I heard a bald man said, “whenever I enter a room
37
I see is hair.” Once you’ve
38 what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will
39
make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different
40
, or forget about it and
41
the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have a relatively
42
life, yet are essentially unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but
43
remain happy.
The first
44
is gratitude. All happy people are
45
. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to
46
, but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret is
47
that happiness is a byproduct (副产品) of something else. The most obvious
48
are those pursuit (追求) that give our lives purpose — anything
49
studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are
50
to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our
51
has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We
52
a spiritual faith, or a philosophy, it should
53
this truth: if you choose to find the
54
in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is
55
your decision to make.

Why do people drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs? What’s to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive (自我毁灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them.
According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn’t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it’s having will power that really gets you into trouble.
Think back to the time you took your very first sip (啜饮) of beer. Disgusting, wasn’t it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette — it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (诱惑) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.
Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.
These bad habits aren’t self-control failures — far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.
60. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. My First Sip of Beer
B. Do You Have Will Power ?
C. Will Power Benefits Us
D. Dark Side of Self-control
61. What do most people think causes bad behavior?
A. Being forced by others.
B. Not having enough will power.
C. Enjoying their first experiences.
D. Following the examples of their friends.
62. The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ____.
A. will power helps develop bad habits sometimes
B. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagers
C. self-control should be developed when one is young
D. everyone can be challenged by different temptations
63. In the last paragraph, the author stresses that ____.
A. without self-control, no one can succeed
B bad habits don’t always lead to bad results
C. applying self-control correctly is important
D. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior
C
Should ecigarettes (electronic cigarettes) be a new choice for the smokers trying to get rid of the habit? Reactions from Americans are mixed.More than half of the people questioned in a survey think ecigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration,but 47 percent believe the ecigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit.
“In the hunt for a safer cigarette,ecigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer,” Zogby International,which conducted the survey,said in a statement.
About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about ecigarettes,which are batterypowered,or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution.They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell.Sold mostly on the Internet,ecigarettes were first made in China.
Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using ecigarettes,saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit.The WHO said people who smoke ecigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs.
Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that ecigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden,because they don’t produce smoke,but 46 percent disagree.Men who were aware of the availability of ecigarettes were more likely than women to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit.Young people,aged 18-29,and singles were the groups most open to trying ecigarettes.Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide,according to the WHO.
64.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A.American smokers ought to try ecigarettes.
B.Americans have different opinions about ecigarettes.
C.Every kind of cigarettes should be forbidden in America.
D.Most of the Americans don’t like ecigarettes.
65.According to Zogby International,ecigarettes ______.
A.are much safer than common cigarettes
B.are popular among people who want to quit smoking
C.will take the place of traditional cigarettes
D.are produced in a safer way by manufacturers
66.What do we know about ecigarettes from the passage?
A.Most Americans are familiar with them.
B.They are a good choice as there is no nicotine.
C.They produce a water vapor that can’t be seen.
