Imagine you are standing on the 70th floor of the Empire State Building, staring at the cityscape. Suddenly a man pushes past you, opens the window and announces his intention to jump. You yell out, “Stop! Don’t do it!” the six-foot-five figure turns to you and menacingly (恐吓地) says, “Try to stop me and I’ll take you with me!”
“Umm… No problem, sir. have a good trip. any last words?”
“Let me tell you my troubles,” he says, “my wife left me, my kids won’t talk to me, I lost my job and my pet turtle died, so why should I go on living?”
Suddenly you have a flash of inspiration. “Sir, close your eyes for a minute and imagine that you are blind. No colors, no sights of children playing, no fields of flowers, no sunset. Now imagine that suddenly there’s a miracle. You open your eyes and your vision is restored! Are you going to jump? Or will you stick around for a week to enjoy the sights?”
“I’ll stay for a week.”
“But what happened to all the troubles?”
“I guess they’re not so bad. I can see!”
“Well, your eyesight is worth at least five million dollars. You’re a rich man!”
If you really appreciate your eyesight, the other pains are insignificant. But if you take it all for granted, then nothing in life will ever truly give you joy. Actually, there are misconceptions on the road to happiness.
misconception1: “Once I know the tools for being happy, then it will work like magic.”
Don’t expect the results to come automatically. It is possible to understand how to achieve happiness, yet not put it into practice. In fact, many people actually prefer to be comfortable and unhappy, rather than bear the discomfort of changing their habits. Just as learning any new skill requires effort, you have to be willing to invest serious effort to achieve real happiness.
Misconception 2: “if I become content and satisfied with what I have, I’ll lose my motivation to achieve more.”
Now ask someone who is depressed, “Let’s go fishing!” “I’m tired. Maybe tomorrow. And anyway, I might rain…” in reality, happy people are energetic and ambitious. There’s never enough time to do everything they want to do.
Misconception 3:
A beautiful Sunday afternoon, you’re in the park having a picnic with friends. Suddenly one person complains: “who forgot the forks? It’s too hot for volleyball. I want to go home already.”
When our mood negatively affects others, we recognize we have duty to be happy and not spoil the fun. But what about when we’re at home with our family? Or when we go into the office on Monday morning? like an open pit in the middle of the road, a sourpuss(牢骚满腹的人) is a public danger. Being happy is part of being considerate to the people around us.
1.The story is placed at the beginning of the passage in order to .
A. tell a skill of persuasion
B. warn the danger of standing on a tall building
C. emphasize the importance of eyesight
D. introduce the theme of the passage
2.What can be inferred from the underlined sentences?
A. Everything has a price.
B. We should value what we have.
C. Every dog has its day.
D. Eyesight is more important.
3.What is right about happy？
A. Happy is a gift.
B. Happy is limited.
C. Happy is contagious (会传染的).
D. Happy is no more than a skill.
4.The best subtitle of Misconception 3 is .
A. If unhappy occurs at home, I needn’t pretend to be happy
B. If I can’t make others unhappy, I won’t be happy.
C. If someone is happy, then others around them are happy.
D. If I want to be depressed, that’s my own prerogative.

The days of staring attentively at the computer screen pretending to be interested in an assignment even though you are bored out of your mind may soon be coming to an end.That's because if Dr.Harry Witchel has his way, computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and even react to it in real time.
But before you get concerned,the machine is not reading your mind.It is just keeping track of the constant involuntary movements that people exhibit when in front of a computer or even a television.These are not the bigger instrumental actions like moving a mouse or using the remote,but subtle barely noticeable movements like scratching or stretching.Witchel says the level of movement is directly relative to how absorbed the person is in what he/she is reading or watching-the higher the interest level,the lesser the movement!
To test the theory Witchel and his team invited 27 people and exposed them to a variety of digital content for three minutes at a time.The activities ranged from playing online games to reading documents like the EU banking regulations that most people would find boring.A video motion tracker monitored their movements as they powered through each assignment.Just as the researchers had suspected,the involuntary actions decreased surprisingly,by as much as 42%,when the subjects were totally absorbed in what they were reading or seeing.
Fortunately,the scientists are not planning to use the findings that were published in the online journal to create machines that report students who are not focusing at school.Instead,they believe that combining the motion detecting technology into future computers will help enhance（加强）the digital learning experience.
The scientists say that being able to measure the student's interest level will enable educators to adjust the materials in real time and re-engage the student.Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions and in the future,also be used in developing more understanding companion robots.
