【題目】閱讀理解。

Have you ever noticed that the more you have, the more you want? Let's face it.Thinking our life is good enough doesn't come naturally to many people.When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment.Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction.Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.

Focus on what you are thankful for.Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have.Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be.Focus on what you are thankful for.Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.

When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our wellbeing.Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner.What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.

When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life we are likely to be less satisfied.Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position.Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.

When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you.Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you.Stay present and focus on the task you're undertaking at the moment.Don't let the life pass you by because you're always on the goal and distracted by ambition.

Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment and it will become more natural.

【1】How can we live with contentment?

【答案】

【3】D

【4】A

【解析】

試題分析：

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第五句“Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction.”可知，只有當我們意識到需求和欲望的區(qū)別時，我們才能生活得很滿足。故選D。

【2】段落大意題。通讀第三段可知，本段的主題句是第一句“When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made，it can really poison our wellbeing.”，由此并結(jié)合本段最后一句可知，本段主要介紹了后悔的消極影響，建議人們不要為已經(jīng)發(fā)生的事情后悔。故C項正確。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第五段第一句“When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you.”可知，當你專注于遠大的抱負和未來的目標時，你就會忽視身邊日常的快樂。根據(jù)該句中的“big ambitions and future goals”和“the daily pleasures that surround you”表達的語境可推知，elide的意思是“忽視”。故D項正確。A項意為“享受”；B項意為“改變”；C項意為“創(chuàng)造”，都與語境不符。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句中的“so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment”可知，要想心情好，就要活在當下，善于發(fā)現(xiàn)周圍的樂趣，制造簡單的快樂。故A項正確。

【題目】閱讀理解。

I sat with a friend a few weeks ago as she scrolled through photos of her college freshman daughter on her phone. She asked me, “Doesn't she look happy? She looks OK, right？” Her daughter had recently had a difficult time, which was now over, but her mother — like all mothers would — still worried, sometimes, that something might be wrong.

For generations of parents, sending children off to college meant knowing little to nothing about how their children were doing. Other than the occasional letter or call from a dorm room phone, children who had left home were mostly unseen and heard from infrequently. College kids could get into all kinds of trouble and their parents would know nothing about it until Christmas vacation or summer break.

Now, of course, that's not at all how it is. Parents of college students can spend hour upon hour examining photos on Instagram or Facebook of their children. They look for hints of sadness in their eyes, the way their clothes fit, whether they're really smiling or just sort of smiling.

However, I don't think it's necessary. College is a time of intense personal growth. Pain is a necessary lesson for the emotional leap from childhood to adulthood. Mothers shouldn't be able to see photos in real time that capture their children when they're at their worst — whether because of too much alcohol or too little happiness.

The blessing of social media is the ability to connect at any time with your child, no matter where he or she may be in the world. Facebook, Instagram and the rest are keeping our helicopters flying long after they should have landed. Maybe it would be better for all of us to be a little less aware of the state of our children's lives once they leave home. Better for the children, and certainly better for the parents.

【1】That friend scrolled through photos on her phone most probably because she ________.

A．was bored and wanted to kill the time

B．wanted to make sure her daughter was alright

C．wanted to help her daughter through the difficulty

D．was sure something was wrong with her daughter

【2】What does Paragraph 2 tell us about parents of college students in the past?

A．They were often worried about their children.

B．They usually let their children do whatever they liked.

C．They were usually too busy to care about their children.

D．They lacked means of knowing about their children's situation.

【3】What does the writer think of children's experiencing pain at college?

A．It is helpless.B．It is necessary.

C．It is nonsense.D．It should be prevented.

【4】The passage is written to show that ________.

A．children don't really have freedom at college

B．social media make our life much easier than before

C．today's parents contact their children more frequently

D．parents shouldn't follow their children at college through social media
