That day, I awoke tiredthe children were tiny and needing so muchand I had a golden afternoon of rest ahead, my mother stepping in to
11、allow me to catch up on my sleep. I dropped them off and drove homethe sun shining and my bed signaling. As I was about to enter the house, I caught sight of a deep crack beneath my feet. Without thinking, I turned around, walked back to the car and drove to a DIY store. Four hours later, I had all
12、the tools, mixed my own cement, filled in the crack and repaired the foundation. Perfect. As I stood up to take a photo of my handiwork, I realized that I was trembling. Id forgotten my shot at a nice long nap, and my children were already on their way home. That sleep. that promise to self was brok
13、en, because I had focused, instead, on the crack in the step. Suddenly, everything started to hurt. My head, my throat, my back. I couldnt stop shaking. What earned then is that when we break the promises we make to our bodies they will not be silenced. This is when we overwork and overthink to the
14、point of breaking down. Ironically (讽刺地), for many of us, it is only when we have no choice when we fall illthat we learn to listen. For me, when that crack ended in a hospital stay which sent me to bed for two unmoving weeks when my body worked to clear two different infections, the lesson is ever
15、present. I did it to myselfa whole twisted spin on DIY. Sadly it took another two ridiculous DIY projects to finally get through. The cracks will never be fully filled. Focus, then, on your own inner core, the feeding of light, fire and strength. 4What made the author so sleepy in the first place? A
16、. Taking care of the kids. B. Asking her mother for help. C. Driving to her mothers house D. Dealing with DIY projects. 5How did the author feel as soon as she finished her repair work? A.

18、focusing on oneself. C I used to think the whole purpose of life was pursuing happiness. Everyone said the path to happiness was success, so I searched for that ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, and that beautiful apartment. But instead of ever feeling fulfilled, I felt anxious and lost. Eventually
19、. I decided to go to graduate school for positive psychology to learn what truly makes people happy. And whats the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists describe happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good in the moment. Meaning, though, is deeper.
20、The famous psychologist Martin Seligman says meaning comes from belonging to and serving something beyond yourself and from developing the best within you. Our culture is obsessed with happiness, but I came to see that seeking meaning is the more fulfilling path. There are four pillars of a meaningf
21、ul life. The first pillar is belonging. Belonging comes from being in relationships where youre valued for who you are and where you value others as well. For many people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning. For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your pu
22、rpose is not the same thing as finding that job that makes you happy. A doctor told me her purpose is healing sick people. Many parents tell me, “My purpose is raising my children.” The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others. Without something worthwhile to do, people flounder, thus
23、losing the aim of life. The third pillar of meaning is also about stepping beyond yourself, but in a completely different way: transcendence (超然). Transcendent experiences can change you. Transcendent states are those rare moments when youre lifted above the hustle and bustle of daily life, your sen
24、se of self fades away, and you feel connected to a higher reality. For me, Im a writer, and it happens through writing. Sometimes I get so in the zone that I lose all sense of time and place. The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself. Creating a narrative from the
25、 events of your life brings clarity. It helps you understand how you became you. But we dont always realize that were the authors of our stories and can change the way were telling them. Your life isnt just a list of events. You can edit, interpret and retell your story, even as youre constrained by
26、 the facts. Thats the power of meaning. Happiness comes and goes. But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to. 8. What can we know from the first two paragraphs？ A. Life might be fulfilled by landing ideal jobs B. Life dilemma is chal
27、lenging for us to get out of C. Meaning is highly valued in our culture D. Happiness is what most people try to achieve 9. Which word is the closest to the underlined word? A. Confused B. Distracted C. Disappointed D. Saddened 10. Which pillar can describe an artist obsessed with her work despite re
28、peated failures? A. Belonging B. Purpose C. Transcendence D. Storytelling 11. The passage aims to tell us that _ A. meaning is superior to happiness B. meaning is the way to success C. chasing meaning can make people happy D. meaning has deeper psychological significance D It often happens that a nu
29、mber of applicants with almost identical qualifications and experience all apply for the same position. In their educational background, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. How then does the employer make a choice? Usually on t
30、he basis of an interview. There are many arguments about the interview as a selection procedure. One argument is that it gives rise to a wholly subjective decision. As often as not, employers do not choose the best candidate, but the one who makes a good first impression on them. Some employers, of
31、course, reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a sound assessment of each candidates likely performance. Unfortunately, both for the employers and applicants, there are many people of great ability who simply do not inte
32、rview well. There are also, of course, people who interview extremely well, but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employees. Those in favour of the interview insist that the well-structured procedure is valid in assessing a candidates ability, an essential guarantee for the future job. They
33、also argue that an employer is concerned not only with a candidates ability, but with the suitability of his or her personality for the particular work situation. Many employers, for example, will overlook occasional inefficiencies from their secretary so long as she has a pleasant personality. Perh
34、aps the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assessable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the more intangible things, such as personality and social ability. Today, interview is still a common section of the entire selection procedure, though different employers have diff
35、erent standards for competence. Generally speaking, candidates who interview well tend to be quietly confident, but never boastful; direct and straight-forward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never over-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and optimistic. Candidates who in
36、terview badly tend to be at either end of the spectrum of human behaviour. They are either very shy or over-confident. They show either a lack of enthusiasm or an excess of it.

42、ed or hungry. A good time to talk is when youre all calm and comfortable. Timing is everything.
