I think it is safe to say that happiness is the king of emotions. Everyone wants to talk about how to get it, ways to prolong it and the benefits associated with it. Not surprisingly, negative emotions are considered to be bad. 1. But bad feelings can be a valuable way to arouse you to take action. In fact, they can be a surprising source of personal growth by doing the following things.

● Recognize what you are feeling.　 There are going to be times when the negative emotions are just temporary. 2. However, if it happens on a frequent basis, your mind is trying to tell you something and you need to handle it.

●3. Once you recognize the negative emotion you are feeling, you need to understand just what is behind it. The trouble is that often the cause of your bad feelings might be hard to see. Is it your home life, work, friends, unrealized dreams or various other frustrations? Take your time figuring it out and get to the root of what is causing the negative emotion.

● Take correct action. In some cases, it might be easy. If someone consistently makes you angry, you can just avoid them. In many other cases, you might need to take even bolder（大胆的） action. 4. Hopefully you have a different opinion on negative emotions now. They are not things designed to only make your life miserable. 5.

A. Understand the causes.

B. Action is the real cause of pain.

C. Acknowledge your true feelings.

D. They are to be avoided at all costs.

E. What they really are is a signal for change.

F. Everyone feels a little down every once in a while.

G. An example of that would be ending a failing marriage or quitting your job.

The ninth week of SEAL training is referred to as Hell Week. It is on Wednesday of Hell Week that you paddle down to the mud flats (泥滩）and spend the next 15 hours trying to survive the freezing-cold mud, the howling wind and the increasing pressure from the instructors to quit. As the sun began to set that Wednesday evening, my training class, having broken the rules, was ordered into the mud. The mud consumed each man till there was nothing visible but our heads. The instructors told us we could leave the mud if only five men would quit—just five men and we could get out of the extreme cold.

Looking around the mud flat, it was apparent that some students were about to give up. It was still over eight hours till the sun came up--eight more hours of freezing cold. The chattering teeth and shivering moans (呻吟）of the trainees were so loud it was hard to hear anything. And then, one voice began to echo (回荡）through the night--one voice raised in song. The song was terribly out of tune, but sung with great enthusiasm. One voice became two, and two became three, and before long everyone in the class was singing. We knew that if one man could rise above the great suffering then others could as well. The instructors threatened us with more time in the mud if we kept up the singing—but the singing went on. And somehow, the mud seemed a little warmer, the wind a little less bitter and the dawn not so far away.

If I have learned anything in my time traveling the world it is the power of hope. The power of one person, Washington, Lincoln, King, Mandela and even a young girl from Pakistan, Malala, can change the world by giving people hope.

So, if you want to change the world, start singing when you're up to your neck in mud.

1.From the passage, we can see that being ordered into the mud was _____　　 .

A. the last part of the training

B. the most useful part of the training

C. the real test of the trainees' intelligence

D. the punishment for the training class

2.The training class' singing together ______　　 .

A. helped them to kill the time

B. encouraged them to fight their difficulty

C. inspired the instructors

D. kept them from falling into the mud

3.The writer described his SEAL training experience mainly to tell the readers _____　　 .

A. the power of a large crowd of people

B. the advantage of the training

C. the way to bring about changes

D. the reason to promote singing

4.In the last paragraph, the phrase "up to your neck in mud" most probably means　　　 ______ .

A. in an extremely difficult situation

B. in a hard training class

C. in terribly cold weather

D. in a lower social position

IT is safe to say that George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), the Irish-born writer, is more famous for being George Bernard Shaw than he is for his writings today. Few of Shaw’s more than 60 plays, novels and essays are performed or read anymore. And yet Shaw genuinely helped make our modern world. Although you’d be lucky to get a chance to see one of his dramas today, in his time he turned the theater into a vehicle for the discussion of social issues, not only in Britain but on the stage of the world. In a way Shaw was someone who created the modern culture of Britain.

Where the theater had been dominated by entertainment, Shaw used it to teach people the importance of paying attention to the issues of their day. The plight (苦难) of the poor and the working class, the situation of women and the institutions of society, such as the education system ---- Shaw was among the most well-known figures making these topics central to public debate. His first play, Widowers’ Houses (1892), deals with the question of slum (贫民窟) housing. His Mrs Warren’s Profession (1893) brought a controversial topic to the stage.

Shaw was an important mover and shaker in new political movements too. He was an early member of the Fabian Society, which argued for the socialist cause in the UK. Shaw was also the founder (in 1895) of one of the now most famous colleges in the world, the London School of Economics.

If few of his works have really stood the test of time, many of his quotations have become part of the furniture of the English language. “Youth is wasted on the young,” he wrote. He also knew how to sum up a political philosophy(哲学) in a few memorable words. For instance: “A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”

1. Shaw’s influence on the modern world comes mainly from ______.

A. the changes he brought to the British culture

B. his philosophies on the role of government

C. his awareness of social problems of his day

D. the support for the London School of Economics

2. Widowers’ Houses is a play that mainly focuses on ______.

A. the failure of the UK education system

B. the housing problems of poor people

C. robbery incidents in slum areas

D. socialist movements in the UK

3. By describing Shaw’s quotations as “part of the furniture of the English language”, the author means that Shaw’s words ______.

A. have become the best part of English

B. have greatly developed the English language

C. have made the English language philosophical

D. have become an inseparable part of the English language

4. Which of the following about George Bernard Shaw’s works is TRUE?

A. They should be adapted for modern readers.

B. They are mostly about the lives of working class.

C. They deal with important social issues of their day.

D. Most of them are still performed on the stage of the world today.
