21、Many people complain(抱怨) in their life. Do you ever complain? When you try a new dress on, but only find you are too “big” to put yourself in. Do you complain about your shape of body? Do you tell yourself “If I have time tomorrow, I will go to the gym.” But do you actually take action?

Karen always complained about her house. One day I asked why she didn't look for another house. Karen answered, “I will look for another one when I come back from vacation.” Sam hated his job. However, he loved taking photos, and was taking a two-year course to get a certificate (证书). Every day he complained about his work. I asked him why he didn’t give up his job and start a business of taking photos. His reply was , “When I finish my course, I will start a business.”

Here is another example. Harry worked for a company that allowed him to retire (退休)early, but at a reduced pension (削减的养老金). Now Harry became very weak and found it difficult to deal with his work. I was worried about his heavy work and its influence (影响)on his health. “Why don’t you retire, Harry? Do something that you want to do,” I said. “If I were older, I would get my foil pension.” “When the next summer comes, maybe I will,” Harry replied.

There is an old saying that says, “If and When were planted, and Nothing grew.” A year later, Karen is still living in the house, and she hates it. Sam is still complaining about his job and hasn’t finished his course. Harry is still working and his health is even worse. These people had a lot of stress in their lives that they could have reduced(本该可以减少). But all of them beat themselves by thinking “if or when”.

Life is too short for “ifs and whens”. The next time you find yourself thinking “if or when”, remember the saying, “If and When were planted, and Nothing grew”.

A．look for another house

B．go to the gym

22、Have you ever taken part in a marathon? A marathon is 42km long. It is the longest race in the world. To make the runner’s body work, hard training is quite necessary.

Two weeks before the marathon, the training programme becomes less, from 100km per week down to 60km and then to 30km in the final week. On the last two days they may not run at all.

Breakfast should be eaten at least three hours before the race. Easily digested (消化) food such as cereal (麦片), toast (烤面包) and scrambled egg (炒蛋) is the best, with as much fluid (液体) as possible. Runners should drink water about half an hour before the race to keep up the body fluid.

24、   Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier:

The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future. For example, getting into college or getting a good job that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to live a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this by dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

【1】How many pieces of advice does the passage give on happiness?

A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.

【2】What’s the writer’s opinion in the passage?

A.Everyone knows how to live a happier life.

B.It’s wrong to spend time on work.

C.Hobbies take up too much time.

D.Doing good things for someone can make you happier.

【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A.Reading a good book.

B.Traveling to a foreign country.

C.Playing a sport.

D.Spending time with close friend.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A.The Secrets of Happiness.

B.Money Makes You Happy.

C.Ideas for Helping Other People to Be Happy.

D.Good Friends Make You Happy.
