There are two types of people in the world．Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes miserable．This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds．The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things, the pleasant conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, the fine weather．They enjoy all the cheerful things．Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the contrary things．Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied．By their remarks, they ruin the pleasures of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere．If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied．The tendency to criticize and be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally by imitation．It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors．The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are convinced of its bad effects on their interests and tastes．I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit．Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious consequences in life, since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck．Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect, and scarcely that．This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments．If they aim at obtaining some advantage in rank or fortune, nobody wishes them success．Nor will anyone stir a step or speak a word to favor their hopes．If they bring on themselves public disapproval, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their misconduct．These people should change this bad habit and condescend(俯就，屈尊)to be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others．If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them．Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrel．

     18     Feeling tired lately? Has a doctor said he can't find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you
to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that
there is nothing wrong with you.
     Then, consider this:you might be in a state of subhealth (亚健康).
     Subhealth, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and
disease.
     According to the investigation (调查) by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of
subhealthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in
management position as well as students around exam time.

(焦虑 ),  and poor memory. ()ther symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waistand legs.

good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities.
     As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should eat more fresh vegetables,
fruits and fish because they are rich in nutritional  (营养的 )  elements- vitamins and trace elements
(微量元素)-that are important
to the body.

unhealthy changes in the digestive tract (消化道). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in

     "People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that
would help deal with climate change," the world's leading authority on global warming has told The Observer.
     Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said that
people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further.
     Pachauri, who was re-elected the panel's chairman for a second six-year term last week, said diet change
was important because of the huge greenhouse gas emissions (排放) and other environmental problems
associated with raising cattle and other animals. "It was relatively easy to change eating habits compared to
changing means of transport," he said.
     The UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation has estimated that meat production ac counts for nearly a
fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. These are produced during the production. For example, ruminants
(反刍动物), particularly cows, emit a gas called methane, which is 23 times more effective as a global
warming agent than give off CO₂.
     Pachauri can expect some opposite responses from the food industry to his advice, though last night he
was given unexpected support by Masterchef presenter and restaurateur John Torode. "I have a little bit and
enjoy it," said Torode. "Too much for any person is bad. But there's a bigger issue here: where the meat
comes from. If we all bought British and stopped buying imported food, we'd save a huge amount of carbon
emissions."
     Professor Robert Watson, the chief scientific adviser for the Department for Environment Food and Rural
Affairs, said government could help educate people about the benefits of eating less meat, but it should not
regulate. "Eating less meat would help, there's no question about that," Watson said.
     However, Chris Lamb, head of marketing for pig industry group BPEX, said the meat industry had been
unfairly targeted and was working hard to find out which activities had the biggest environmental impact and
reduce them. "Some ideas were contradictory," he said. "For example, one solution to emissions from cattle
and other animals was to keep them indoors, but this would damage animal welfare. Climate change is a very
young science and our view is ther are a lot of simple solutions being proposed."

1. What is directly related to global warming?

A. Consumption of meat.
B. Growth of cattle.
C. Methane from ruminants.
D. Processing of meat.

2. Who holds a view opposite to the others' in the passage?

A. Rajendra Pachauri.
B. John Torode.
C. Robert Watson.
D. Chris Lamb.

3. It is implied in the passage that _____.

A. we should try to keep away from cattle
B. ruminants should not be left outdoors
C. the meat industry will soon close down
D. we must do our duty to save the earth

4. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A. Less meat, slower global warming
B. More animals, more greenhouse gas
C. Less imported food, better our environment
D. Greater diet change, smaller climate change
