14、older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college.

I studied hard but only to make my own life b
15、etter. Even when I started to explore my faith, it was only to increase my own happiness. 3 I married after graduation and decided to start a family. Of course, I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul. Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new bab
16、y on the way. I found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people. In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me. Still, I didnt give up on happiness. I knew that there must be a way to find it. I finally realized, however, that it had to in
17、clude more than just my own needs, wants, and desires. The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born. I got a bottle and held him in my arms. As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes. I smiled and talked to him. Then he smiled a

Carolyn Arends wrote: “The more people you let into your heart, the bigger your heart gets. The more love you

22、s, a Way to Happiness C. Keep Growing to Live a Happy Life D. The Elder One Grows, the More He Gets B If a family member blames you for something you have done, it is important to be careful about how you defend yourself. It is not a good idea to use ways that cause hurt, even if they would help you
23、 make a valid point. If you can think of an instance where the other person has done exactly what they accuse you of, for example, it would not be good manners to throw it in their face. You should 4 only bring it up if you dont have a choice. Then, you should make sure that you do it respectfully.
24、Even if a family member intentionally goes against reasonable wishes you may have, you should understand that people see even the most fundamental things in very different ways. Remember that people are different. If you consider any noise after midnight to be intolerable, for example, others may se
25、e it is completely acceptable. It can take them a great deal of time to change their behavior for a demand that they do not understand. Think about the family conflicts that you are worried about now. Check to see if your parents had similar problems. People who grow up with parents who fight unfair
26、ly often repeat the same behavior. Consider changing the unfair habits that you grew up with. Understand that memories tend to change.

31、 series of experiments at the University of California, researchers studied toddlers thinking about winners and losers, bullies (欺凌) and victims. In the first experiment, toddlers (学步儿童) watched a scene in which two puppets (木偶) had conflicting goals: One was crossing a stage from right to left, and
32、 the other from left to right. The puppets met in the middle and stopped. Eventually one puppet bowed down and moved aside, letting 5 the other one pass by. Then researchers asked the toddlers which puppet they liked. The result: 20 out of 23 toddlers picked the higher-status puppet the one that did
33、 not bow or move aside. It seems that individuals can gain status for being dominant (占优势的) and toddlers like winners better than losers. But then researchers had another question: Do toddlers like winners no matter how they win? So, researchers did another experiment very similar to the one describ
34、ed above. But this time, the conflict ended because one puppet knocked the other down and out of the way. Now when the toddlers were asked who they liked, the results were different: Only 4 out of 23 children liked the winner. These data suggest that children already love a winner by the age of 21-3
35、1 months. This does not necessarily mean that the preference is inborn: 21 months is enough time to learn a lot of things. But if a preference for winners is something we learn, we appear to learn it quite early. Even more interesting, the preference for winners is not absolute. Children in our stud
36、y did not like a winner who knocked a competitor down. This suggests that already by the age of 21-31 months, childrens liking for winners is balanced with other social concerns, including perhaps a general preference for nice or helpful people over aggressive ones. In a time when the news is full o
37、f stories of public figures who celebrate winning at all costs, these results give us much confidence. Humans understand dominance, but we also expect strong individuals to guide, protect and help others. This feels like good news. 29. One of the purposes of the experiments is to _. A. teach toddler
38、s how to gain higher status B. offer toddlers a chance to watch a scene C. observe the process of toddlers solving a conflict D. find out toddlers attitude toward winners and losers 30. The toddlers regarded bowing and moving aside as a sign of _. A. obeying rules B. gaining status C. giving in to t
39、he other D. showing good manners 31. What does the second experiment tell us about toddlers? A. They are excellent learners. B. They are always changeable. C. They show mercy to the loser. D. They value kindness over winning. 32. What does the author think of the results of the series of experiments
40、? A. Disappointing. B. Encouraging. C. Unexpected. D. Controversial. D Eudaimonia is an Ancient Greek word, particularly stressed by the philosophers Plato and Aristotle, which deserves far more attention than it has because it corrects the shortfalls (缺失) in one 6 of the most central, but troubling
41、 words in our modern language: happiness. When we nowadays try to clearly express the purpose of our lives, it is the word “happiness” that we commonly turn to. We tell ourselves and others that the most important principle for our jobs, our relationships and the conduct of our day-to-day lives is t
42、he pursuit of happiness. It sounds like an innocent enough idea, but too much reliance on the term means that we frequently unfairly tend to quit or, at least, heavily question a great many challenging but worthwhile situations. The Ancient Greeks did not believe that the purpose of life was to be h
43、appy; they proposed that it was to achieve Eudaimonia, a word which has been best translated as “fulfilment”. What distinguishes happiness from fulfilment is pain. It is very possible to be fulfilled and at the same time under pressure, suffering physically or mentally, overburdened and, quite frequ
44、ently, in an irritable (易怒的) mood. This is a slight psychological difference that is hard for the word “happiness” to capture, for its tricky to speak of being happy yet unhappy, or happy yet suffering. However, such a combination is readily accommodated within the respected and noble-sounding idea
45、of Eudaimonia. The word encourages us to trust that many of lifes most worthwhile projects will sometimes be in conflict with contentment, and yet will be worth pursuing. Properly exploring our professional talents, managing a household, keeping a relationship going, creating a new business venture
46、or engaging in politics. none of these goals are likely to leave us cheerful and grinning on a daily basis. They will, in fact, involve us in all manner of challenges that will deeply exhaust and weaken us, provoke (激怒) and wound us. And yet we will perhaps, at the end of our lives, still feel that
47、the tasks were worth undertaking. Through them, well have achieved something deeper and more interesting than happiness. With the word Eudaimonia in mind, we can stop imagining that we are aiming for a pain-free existence and then blaming ourselves unfairly for being in a bad mood. Well know that we
48、 are trying to do something far more important than smile all the time: were striving to do justice to our full human potential. 33. What do we know about “Eudaimonia” from the passage? A. It was first created by two Greek philosophers. B. It has received a lot of attention from the public. C. It st
49、ill has some shortfalls that need to be corrected. D. It was regarded as the purpose of life in ancient Greece. 34. According to Paragraph 3, happiness _. A. is the opposite of fulfillment B. is free from physical or mental pain C. stresses the psychological difference D. serves as a respected and n
50、oble life goal 35. We can learn from the passage that _. A. goals that wound and weaken us result in happiness B. aiming for happiness may lead to wrong self-blaming C. challenges leading to contentment are worth undertaking 7 D. feeling fulfilled means we should avoid tough situations 36.
