【題目】You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it's likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.

The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being values and having values. Your being values are the personalities of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a promise to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these personalities becomes your life purpose.

Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.

When you make a promise to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious (慎重的) choices rather than reactionary (反動的) ones. If our usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power.

When you choose to act on your values, you will not only feel good about yourself, but also strengthen your chosen beliefs. Over time, acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.

【1】The main purpose of this passage is to .

A. persuade the readers to make a promise

B. explain to the readers what personal values are

C. inform the readers how to be truly happy

D. instruct the readers how to make wise choices

【2】According to the text, living by your being values, you would .

A. gain a lot of power

B. form positive personality

C. seek all human virtues

D. fill your own needs

【3】The underlined word "void" in Paragraph l means .

A. a feeling of emptiness

B. an absence of one's mind

C. a break of continuity

D. a state of confusion

【4】What can be inferred from the text?

A. Having values are better than being values.

B. A calm person does not choose to complain.

C. The way other people think of you decides who you are.

D. A responsible person does not care about financial security.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】A

【4】B

【解析】

試題分析：文章主要講述的是如果我們要想幸福，就要在奉獻和接受之間取得一個平衡。作者告訴我們如何才能讓自己真正幸福。

【1】C主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving.可知本文主要講述的是如果我們想要幸福，就要在奉獻和接受之間取得一個平衡。故選C.

【2】B細節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)文章第二段I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a promise to live by.及后面的例子中kind, loving, generous, peaceful, wise and even powerful和 inspire others by being a positive role model.可知如果我們以being values的生活方式在生活，我們會更加積極向上。故選D.

【3】A猜測詞意題。根據(jù)本句When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.可知當你總是接受時你永遠都不會滿足，總是在尋找方法來填平你內心的不滿足。void“空虛，空間”，與A一致，故選A.

【4】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.和最后一段Over time, acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.可知A、C、D錯誤，故選B.

What we wear at home is our own business. We can dress freely at home. No one will care or debate about it. _【1】_ . Why? That’s because the way we dress affects us and other people. It is basically a matter of self respect and respect for others.

According to a famous behavioral economist, humans have a pattern of irrational(不理智的) behaviours. One of them is called “the effect of expectation”. Ariely says that when a person believes beforehand that something is good, he will look upon it generally as good. _【2】 . If you wear a cheap old T-shirt like a beggar, the respect and expectation that you gain from people around you will be poor.

Some people might argue that we should have the freedom to dress however we want regardless of what people think. They can also argue that we should not judge people based on how a person dresses. _【3】_ . People judge us based on how we look, and that is a fact that we should accept.

In fact, we don’t have to spend a lot of money buying the most expensive clothes. It doesn’t make sense to go to a supermarket in a tux (晚禮服). 【4】 . Experts suggest that we should have various levels of dressing. For example, level 1: dressing for staying at home, level 2: casual dress for going out with friends, level 3: formal dress for work, level 4: attire (盛裝) for business functions and so on.

_【5】_ . When we coose clothes to wear, we should be aware of how it makes us generally look. At least we should be aware of it instead of just wearing it and going without giving a second thought. Dressing up is how you “sell” yourself so don’t take it too lightly.

A. The dress should match the occasion.

B. It is helpful to have fashion awareness when we dress.

C. Therefore, the look is important for a first impression.

D. That is pretty ideal, but it is not practical in the real world.

E. It changes people’s reactions towards you in a positive way.

F. Therefore, it is a good idea to be aware of how we behave at home.

G. However, when we dress up and go out to public places, it becomes an issue.
