Are you a happy person or an unhappy person？

If you're an unhappy person, please remember that happiness is a choice. 1.　　 What you need to do is to make some changes.

Unhappy people are more likely to believe that life is hard. They see themselves as victims of life when something bad happens to them. Yes, as is known to all, life can be hard. 2.

Unhappy people are more likely to believe that most people can't be trusted. They don’t think strangers can be trusted. Unfortunately this thought slowly starts to prevent them from meeting new people. 3.　 In this way, you can make more friends, who can increase your happiness.

Unhappy people like comparing themselves with others and feel jealous. 4.　 This is wrong. Instead you should get inspired and try to achieve more. Learn to believe in unlimited possibilities. Don't get upset and think that somebody's luck limits your possible outcome in life.

Unhappy people consider their future with worry and fear. 5.　 Unhappy people fill the head space with worry and fear. How can you be happy if you are always in worry or fear? When fear or worry crosses your mind, ask yourself if there is an action you can take to prevent your fear or worry from happening. If there isn't, just lay it down because worry or fear does you no good at all.

Everyone will probably swim in negative waters once in a while, but what matters is how long you stay there. Follow the ways mentioned above and then you will be much happier.

A. Instead, you should believe in the good in people and stay open and friendly towards people you meet.

B. You can choose to be happy.

C. Unhappiness is also a choice.

D. There is only so much space between your ears.

E. You should try to be kind to others in order to make more friends.

F. But you should have a positive attitude towards life instead of complaining all the time.

G. They believe that someone else's luck is stolen from their own.

Whether you're a child, teenager, young adult or are middle-aged, respect for your parents is an important value. Your parents are the people who raised you, devoting time, energy and money to your development. 1.No matter what your age is, there are 4 ways to show respect.

● Respect their belongings.

One important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents. For younger children, this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable things. For grown children, respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on time. Lack of respect for parents' belongings is a violation of personal boundaries. 2.And never borrow things without asking first.

● Punctuality(严守时间).

3.Therefore, always be on time. For teenagers, showing up on time means coming home by curfew (宵禁时间).Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events, or to pick a parent up for a medical appointment. Call if you're going to be late because parents worry about children, no matter their age.

●4.

Remembering birthdays, anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents. Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies. Most parents don't expect expensive gifts, but a handmade gift is always appreciated. A phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect.

● Be kind.

Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect. Tell your parents you love them. Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption. Show a sincere interest in what your parents have to say. Be patient with your parents and don't rush them. Never talk back or be rude or disrespectful. Acknowledge your parents' achievements.5.

A. Celebrate with them.

B. Be a good listener.

C. Lateness shows a lack of respect.

D. And they love you unconditionally throughout your life.

E. Treat your parents the way you would like to be treated.

F. Don't take advantage of your parents' kindness and generosity.

G. Being respectful helps build positive relationships with others.

I'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.

Why are America's kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation(隔离) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.

Considering that we can't turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation.

At the top of the list is nurturing(培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.

To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for facetoface relationships, and they will get more sleep.

Limit the amount of virtual(虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It's not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.

Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.

Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have to ruin your life.

1.According to the analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago ________.

A. probably suffered less from anxiety

B. were considered less individualistic

C. were less isolated physically

D. were probably less selfcentered

2.What does the author mean by saying "we can't turn the clock back" in the third paragraph?

A. It's impossible to forget the past.

B. The social reality children are facing cannot be forgotten.

C. It's impossible to slow down the pace of change.

D. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.

3.The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people's state of mind are ________.

A. illogical　 　　　　　　　　　　　 B. confusing

C. surprising 　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. questionable

4.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. To children, anxiety is completely avoidable.

B. TV and computer play an important role in isolating children from the real world.

C. Exercise does not help to lessen children's anxiety.

D. Sometimes local news about crime and murder also affects children a little.

5.The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is________.

A. to lower their expectations for them

B. to set a good model for them to follow

C. to get them more involved socially

D. to improve them with a safer environment

You have the ability to decide if you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice.

You can't depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early on in my marriage. I realized that I couldn't rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on me and not my husband's actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.

You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within; it can't be forced by outside forces. So how do you choose happiness? The same way you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit. You choose it because that's what you want to experience in your life.

You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feel good. You wouldn't buy a pair of shoes that you don't like or that don't fit well, right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don't make us feel good?

Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one can do that for us. If we let others get to us, influence our emotions ---we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.

We need to keep our feelings in check and not react automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.

Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don't dwell on what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.

1.What’s the best title of this passage?

A. Choose to Be Happy　　　　 B. Pretend to Be Happ

A. balancing the relationship between the husband and wife is an art

B. one can’t rely on someone else to make himself or herself happy

3.Why did the writer mention buying shoes?

A. To offer advice on how to choose comfortable shoes.

B. To compare choosing shoes and choosing an outfit.

C. To help to move to the next paragraph easily.

D. To use it as an example to show the importance of choosing to be happy.

Are you angry？Unhappy in your job？Wish you had an outlet for those feelings?

Well, if you lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, you could go to the Break Club. It’s made up of a group of people who get together to smash up rubbish as a way of venting (发泄) their aggression. They can throw bottles at the wall, or take their frustration out on an old computer.

Mora, a club member, is a 22-year-old media producer who works hard and is always stressed out. She says, “I have to deal with deadlines, with so many people and so many things every day. . . My nerves are at breaking point. Well, now it’s time I should break something too. ”

She wears overalls, thick gloves and visor (脸盔) to protect her eyes. In her hands there’s a baseball bat ready for action. After trashing an old computer monitor, Mora is almost breathless but has a smile on her face. “I feel like a new person. I’m happy! After this, I’m ready for anything！” she says.
