Five Happiness Secrets For Tough Times
Sonja Lyubomirsky, an author, has researched the science of happiness for years.
Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts
of happiness throughout the day.
61. ________
“You could spend a lot of time thinking deeply,” says Lyubomirsky. “But that
just makes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and effects your self
esteem. Your relationships will suffer and your job performance will suffer.”
Get rid of pessimism. One of the most effective ways to cope when things are
difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy. “What can I learn from this? Times
are tough, I’ve been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids,
adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills.”
62. ________
Now more than ever we need each other to survive. Lyubomirsky found that doing
good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier. Think of practical,
everyday gestures that can make someone’s life a little bit easier. For example,
Lyubomirsky says, “Maybe now many of us can’t afford to take a cab to the airport, so
offer to give a friend a ride.”
63. ________
You don’t need an expert to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness.
Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid’s needs can
weighh down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus
on caring for your loved ones.
“I was at a psychology conference where an expert was talking about the effects
of this economy on families and how parents can’t afford to buy their kids luxuries
like toys anymore,” says Lyubomirsky. “But what they don’t realize is that kids don’t
care about toys — what they care about is parents being grumpy and taking it out on
them.”
64. ________
“If you find a happy person you will find a project,” says Lyubomirsky. “Happy
people all have goals they care about.”
Commit yourself to a project – whether it is a business you want to start or a dance
you want to learn. But it’s also important to remember to be flexible in these times.
Don’t get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting your goals. Adopt
and change!
“If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,” says
Lyubomirsky. “Or you might have to learn a whole new skill for a new job.”
65. ________
When times are tough, it’s easy to get skip your regular workouts in favor of moping
in front of the TV and eating a bag of chips. Your thinking is “I have more important
things to worry about right now than looking good.”
But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC. It will go a
long way in boosting your happiness. “Even if you can’t afford to go to the gym,”
Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home.”
You don't need an expert to tell your that relationships are critical to happiness. Not
being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid's needs can weigh
down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on
bringing up your loved ones.

The business executive was deep in debt and could see no way out. Creditors (債主) were closing in on him. Suppliers were demanding payment. He sat on the park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy (破產).
Suddenly an old man appeared before him. “I can see that something is troubling you.” he said. After listening to the executive, the old man said: “I believe I can help you.”
He asked the man his name, wrote out a check, and pushed it into his hand saying: “Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time.” Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.
The business executive saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of the richest men in the world!
“I can settle all my debts in a moment!” he realized. But instead, the executive decided to put the uncashed check in his safe, just knowing it would give him the strength to work out a way to save his business.
With renewed optimism, he made better deals and extended terms of payment. He closed several big deals. Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.
Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the uncashed check. At the agreed-upon time, the old man appeared. But just as the executive was about to hand back the check and share his success story, a nurse came running up and grabbed the old man.
“I’m so glad I caught him!” she cried. “I hope he hasn’t been bothering you. He’s always escaping from the rest home and telling people he’s John D. Rockefeller.” And she led the old man away by the arm.
小題1:What was the executive worried about?
A．He couldn’t produce enough for the suppliers.
B．The creditors wouldn’t lend him any money.
C．His products didn’t sell well.
D．He might run into bankcruptcy.
小題2:Which of the following statements about the old man is TRUE?
A．The old man had known the executive was in trouble before he came.
B．The old man’s way of helping the executive worked out well.
C．The check he wrote was far from enough for the executive.
D．In fact the old man didn’t want to have his money back.
小題3:The executive didn’t cash the check because ____________.
A. He was afraid that the bank didn’t have so much money.
B. The check gave him a lot of strength and encouragement.
C. He was uncertain if he could ever pay back the money.
D. He knew the old man wasn’t John D. Rockefeller at all.

As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease – especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.
The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “ not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well”. In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise and they make a point of monitoring their body's condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap may be "well," in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. "Wellness" may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.
小題1:Today medical care is placing more stress on______.
a. keeping people in a healthy physical condition   
b. monitoring patients' body functions
c. removing people's bad living habits            
d. ensuring people's psychological well-being
小題2:In the first paragraph, people are reminded that_____.
a. good health is more than not being ill           
b. drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmful
c. regular health checks are essential to keeping fit  
d. prevention is more difficult than cure
小題3:     Traditionally, a person is considered "well" if he ______.
a. does not have any unhealthy living habits     
b. does not have any physical handicaps
c. is able to handle his daily routines           
d. is free from any kind of disease
小題4:According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would be        considered healthy?
a. People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.
b. People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease
c. People who try to be as possible, regardless of their limitations.
d. People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.

Upon waking up, Jim found himself lying on a stretch of sandy shore with his face half-buried in the sand.  He found, that his clothes had been almost torn apart.  His arms ached and his body was heavy like stone.  Before he could stand up, he was brought to his knees due to exhaustion.  As he lay on the sand, he began to study the environment for signs of human activities.  But there was nothing except for a few trees and some stones within eyesight.
He remembered how, a few hours before, he had still been struggling for survival in the vast South China Sea.  The boat that had carried his friends and him out to sea for a fun fishing trip had run into a terrible storm.  James, who was the captain of the boat, and had been at the wheel, lost control of the boat.  The boat moved from side to side in the storm.  Suddenly, it hit a sharp object, most probably a rock from the sea and was wrecked.
Jim could not remember how he had managed to drift onto land.  His friends were not in sight.  He was saddened by the fact that they might have all drowned.  Then he suddenly saw a thin column of smoke on the far side of a hill.  “Could it be a house?”  Jim asked himself.  Even if it wasn’t, it gave him some fresh hope of surviving the ordeal that he was going through.  He struggled on towards the place from where the smoke was rising.
Finally, he found himself at the top of the hill.  He saw a little green valley dotted with a few huts and trees in the sun.  His eyes were not playing tricks on him.  There was a village located at the bottom of the valley.  The sight gave him renewed hope.  He began to run toward the village with his last ounce of energy.

C. the smoke implied human activities
D. All of the above.
70. What does the underlined word “ordeal” in the third paragraph probably mean?

Brave skydivers threw themselves off the world’s tallest buildings near midnight and floated towards the new year.
