What do we mean by responsibility? To put it simply, it is a duty to consider the consequences（结果，后果）of our actions. In other words, we have a duty to control our behavior.
When we are children, we have few responsibilities. Our parents look after us and we generally don't have to worry about food or shelter（居所）. As we grow up, we gradually need to be responsible for more and more things. We learn how to make our own decisions and realize that we have moral duties. We have to be responsible for our lives.
We also have responsibilities that go beyond ourselves. Parents have the responsibility to look after their children. Beyond the family, people have a responsibility towards the community as a whole. It is responsible for us as a society to make this world a safe and pleasant place for everyone.
When we fail in our responsibilities, the consequences are most serious. Teenagers who stop their studies might make their own lives bad. Parents who are not caring for their own children properly, will put them in danger. By not following the traffic rules, careless drivers kill more than a million people around the world every year. Certain professions in our society, such as police officers, present to protect the public, and often risk their own lives in order to do their duty. However, their efforts depend on the support of ordinary people. If we pay no attention to our own responsibilities, society will become dangerous.
Whether we are shouldering heavy responsibilities, like doctors or lots, or simply taking responsibility for our own learning as students, we will always be judged on how well we perform our duties. For this reason, the hardest part of acting responsibly is admitting ( 承认 ) that we failed or that we made a mistake. Let's say you visit your friend's house and accidentally make an expensive teapot broken while your friend is in another room. The honest thing to do is of course to admit and apologize. Because this requires courage, some people take another way: they pretend that nothing happened. Perhaps a broken teapot might not be such a big deal, but in any given situation, we can choose to act responsibly.
Responsibilities are an important part of life since our actions have consequences. If everyone considered how their actions would affect（ 影 响 ）themselves and other people, the world would be a better place.

A.We should choose to act responsibly in any given situation.

What do we really mean by being open? Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in, to speak and to share. It’s important to let others get to know how we think and feel. In this way we will be understood and accepted by others. If we aren’t open with others, we won’t fully believe in ourselves or others.
Here are a few ways for you to be more open. First, make your outside behavior the same as your inside feelings and thoughts. Second, share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions. Third, try to change your questions into statements and talk in the first person so that it will be easier for people to understand. For example, you might say, “I feel happy that you’re here.” Instead of “ Are you glad that you’re here ?”
Remember also that it is not suitable to be open with everyone in every situation. You may want to be more open with close friends, but not with people you don’t know well, because you are not sure how someone else will use what they know about you. Besides, some people may not be used to too much openness. If we say everything we feel and think to them, they will feel very comfortable at times.
In all, being open is a good way for us to get on well with other people, we’d better keep the balance between being open and not being too open.
1. Being open means a kind of _____________ to come in, to speak and to share, we’d better keep way others will fully _____________________ us.
2.First, don’t make your outside behavior________________ your inside feelings and thoughts. Second, share your really feelings about something not just opinions , _________.

九年级英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
Being happy is an ability, which means we need to learn how to do it. This, perhaps, explains why around one in four undergraduate students at Yale University in the US have signed up (报名) for its Psychology and the Good Life course this semester. The course actually set a record of being the most popular in Yale’s 316-year history.
Laurie Santos, the psychology professor who will be running the course, believes that the high school lives which her students must have had are the reason that the course is so popular. It’s likely that students who get into top universities like Yale had a difficult time in high school. In order to stand out, they had to surround themselves with endless tests, competitions, and so-called “hobbies”, which made them very unhappy. "A lot of us are anxious (焦虑的), stressed, numb (麻木的)," Alannah Maynez, a 19-year-old undergraduate student at Yale, told The New York Times,“and I won’t miss such a chance.”
Yale isn’t the first university to offer such courses. Back in 2006, Harvard introduced its Positive Psychology class, and about 900 students signed up for it. There are now many universities in the US that have started courses on positive psychology, including the University of Pennsylvania and Claremont Graduate University.
It may sound sad when Harvard student Nancy Cheng called Positive Psychology a “self-help class”. But it’s a good thing that students accept that they have a problem, instead of having to pretend that everything is fine in front of everyone.
It’s true that being happy is an ability, and it’s OK that you may not have it yet. However, it’s never too early—or too late—to start learning.

2.What does Alannah Maynez think of the psychology course?

3.How many universities that have positive psychology courses are mentioned in the passage?

4.What does the underlined word “pretend” mean?
A.掩盖 B.假装 C.承认

A.it’s never too early or too late to start learning how to be happy
B.Yale is the first university to offer psychology courses
C.Nancy Cheng thought the course helped her a lot to be happy
