Question

【題目】Everyone wants to be happy, but not everyone can make it. Do you want to have a good mood every day? If so, the following steps will be useful to you.

Be grateful.

【1】 They can be simple things like the purple flower on the sidewalk, the beautiful sunset, and the hot shower you take every day. When you have a grateful heart, you’11 cherish them and be naturally filled with happiness.

【2】

When you put your mind, heart and soul into what you’re doing, you’re creating a happiness state—called the “flow”. When you’re living in the flow, you’re less likely to mind what others may think about you, and less bothered by unimportant things. The result? More happiness, of course!

Become a problem solver.

Happy people are problem solvers. 【3】 Instead, they face up to the challenge and channel their energies into finding a creative solution. By becoming a problem solver, you’ll build up your self-confidence and your ability to accomplish whatever you determine to do.

Practice forgiveness.

Hatred and anger are forms of self-punishment. When you forgive, you’re actually practicing kindness to yourself. 【4】 Everyone makes mistakes. It’s through our mistakes that we learn and grow to become a bigger and better person.

Give back.

Doing good is one of the surest ways to feel good. According to Harvard, when people do good, their brains become active in the very same reward center that is stimulated when they experience other rewards. 【5】

A. Go with the flow.

B. Focus on what you are doing.

C. And most importantly, learn to forgive yourself.

D. When they face a challenge in life, they don’t fall into a sad state.

E. When they meet with difficulties, they will solve them on their own.

F. So It’s not a surprise that people who care more about others are happier.

G. Slow down, look around, and pay attention to the little details in your life.

【解析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要講述了如何成為一個(gè)快樂(lè)的人。

【1】根據(jù)第二段中的 “They can be simple things like the purple flower on the side walk, the beautiful sunset, and the hot shower you take every day” 以及 G 項(xiàng)中的 “the little details” 與 “simple things”的對(duì)應(yīng)關(guān)系可知，G項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。

【2】根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容尤其是“When you put your mind, heart and soul into what you’re doing, you’re creating a happiness state”可知，當(dāng)你全身心投入一件正在做的事的時(shí)候，你就會(huì)創(chuàng)造一種開心的狀態(tài)。由此可知，本段主要講的是要關(guān)注你正在做的事情，故B項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。

【3】根據(jù)小標(biāo)題 “Become a problem solver” 及空后的 “Instead, they face up to the challenge and channel their energies into finding a creative solution” 可知，此處所填內(nèi)容應(yīng)是與解決問(wèn)題有關(guān)的，且要與后文構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故D項(xiàng)“當(dāng)他們?cè)谏�活中遇到挑�?zhàn)的時(shí)候，他們不會(huì)陷入悲傷的狀態(tài)”符合語(yǔ)境。

【4】根據(jù)小標(biāo)題 “Practice forgiveness” 及空前的 “When you forgive, you’re actually practicing kindness to yourself.”和空后的“Everyone makes mistakes” 可知，每一個(gè)人都會(huì)犯錯(cuò)誤，但最重要的是學(xué)會(huì)原諒自己。故C項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。

【5】根據(jù)最后一段中的 “According to Harvard, when people do good, their brains become active in the very same reward center that is stimulated when they experience other rewards” ，在結(jié)合小標(biāo)題 “Give back”可知，當(dāng)人們做好事時(shí)，正是在同樣的大腦的獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)中心，他們的大腦會(huì)變得活躍，就好像當(dāng)他們經(jīng)歷其他獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)時(shí)大腦所受的刺激一樣，空后應(yīng)該是得出的—個(gè)結(jié)論，并且與“做好事”有關(guān)，故F項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。
