At the age of 83,I'm reading more and dusting less.I'm sitting in the yard and admiring the view without caring about the weeds in the garden.I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time working.

Whenever possible,life should be a pattern of experiences to savor,not to suffer.I'm trying to recognize these moments now and cherish them.

I’m not"saving"anything;we use our good china and crystal for every special event such as losing a pound,or the first Amaryllis blossom.I wear my good clothes to the market.I'm not saving my good perfume for special parties ,but wearing it for clerks in the hardware store and tellers at the bank.

“Someday"and"one of these days"are losing their positions in my vocabulary.If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and do it now.

I'm not sure what others would have done had they known they wouldn't be here for the tomorrow that we all take for granted.I think they would have called family members and a few close friends.They might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend fences for past quarrels.I like to think they would have gone out for a Chinese dinner or for whatever their favorite food was.

It's those little things left undone that would make me angry if I knew my hours were limited.Angry because I hadn't written certain letters that I intended to write one of these days.Angry and sorry that I didn't tell my husband and parents often enough how much I truly love them.I'm trying very hard not to put off,hold back,or save anything that would add laughter and luster to our lives.And every morning when I open my eyes,I tell myself that it is special.Every day,every minute,every breath truly is a gift.

Happiness and sadness are states of being states of being that define the way we view the world. It is often said that some people by nature have a sunny character. Now scientists may have discovered why.

Some people may be hard-wired for happiness, while others are genetically negative, as

scientists have suggested in a study published in late February, in a British journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Earlier research had already established that the gene known as 5-HTTLPR plays a key role in

determining how the neurotransmitter (神经传递素) serotonin (血清素) works within the brain. Serotonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙), passes chemical messages between nerve cells. It has been closely linked to mood. Several anti-depressant (抗抑郁) drugs regulate serotonin levels. Scientists had also identified three variants of the gene. Two so-called "short" variants were linked to a higher risk of depression and suicide attempts. Unlike the two "short" variants, the "long" variant of 5-HTTLPR showed a clear dislike of negative images, such as fierce animals, and a clear liking for positive ones, such as flowers.

Researchers from the University of Essex in Britain, led by Elaine Fox, showed participants a

series of images. The images were divided into three kinds: negative ones aimed at inspiring fear or stress such as a spider or person about to commit suicide, pleasant ones and neutral ones.

“The participants who had the long variant of the 5-HTTLPR gene showed a clear dislike of negative material alongside a careful attention for positive material,” the researchers found. They paid close attention to the pretty pictures, and ignored the frightening ones. On the other hand, the short variant groups had the opposite reaction.

In January, the Australian government organized "happiness workshops", teaching government

staff how to be happy. The department that held the "happiness workshops" said unhappy staff weren't productive staff. Australian political opposition parties have argued that the "happiness workshops" are probably a waste of money and couldn't increase productivity as intended. However, whether the workshop will have a happy or disappointing result, we will have to wait and see.

67．Form the third paragraph, we know that________.

A．affected by 5-HTTLPR, the neurotransmitter serotonin works within the blood

B．there are 5 variants of 5-HTTLPR genes which control people’s moods

C．how the neurotransmitter serotonin works is greatly determined by 5-HTTLPR

D．5-HTTLPR receives chemical messages from verve cells

68．What does “It” in the sentence “It has been closely linked to mood.” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?

A．Serotonin.          B．A nerve cell.        C．5-HTTLPR.         D．The brain.

69．If a person had the long variant of 5-HTTLPR, he or she would probably________.

A．like the images of spiders                     B．prefer the images of crocodiles

C．enjoy an image of green tress                D．suffer from depression very often

70．What can we infer from the passage?

A．People’s moods can change a little bit under the influence of certain drugs.

B．Researchers showed participants of the research two kinds of images.
