题目列表(包括答案和解析)
“No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion. It was written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely lonely life. Without other people, life will become empty and sad. We all need to have friends.
For some of us, although making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.
There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best seller. It was later put into 28 languages.
Dale Carnegie’s advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book:
Be friendly and polite.
Always greet with a smile. Begin with “Excuse me” or “Would you please” when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “Thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.
Go out of your way to be nice.
Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better.
Remember names.
They say that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name.
Be open-minded.
Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them.
Listen patiently.
When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.

‘Happiness consists in the multiplicity of agreeable consciousness,’ wrote Samuel Johnson，a famous British writer and lexicographer（词典编写者）of the eighteenth century．
Today, amid the large amount of worldly temptations and material sources of modem-day enjoyment, people from all walks of life are still searching for the key to happiness．The question ‘How call we be happy? ’seems to worry everyone．Indeed, in this day and age of scientific advancement and heavenly comforts．people still do not seem able to find a definite answer to the age-old problem of finding happiness．Happiness seems to be a very difficult thing．Solon’s dictum‘ count no man happy until he is dead’ seems to present both, the poor and the rich with a continual threat causing them no end of anxiety．
In Oxford，England，a noted psychology professor, Dr Michael Argyle，has succeeded in his quest for happiness．Over the past eight years, he has been researching the mysterious antithesis（对立而）of depression，and has found convincing clues which he has embodied in his books．‘The Psychology of Happiness’，and ‘The Social Psychology of Everyday Life’．
Dr Argyle explains that happiness comprises three essential elements—first，positive emotions 1ike joy；second，the absence of negative emotions like anxiety；and lastly, the non-emotional element which means a general，more profound satisfaction with life．
“The bigger source of happiness is a happy marriage,” Dr Argyle explains．“Job satisfaction．”he continues，“is another essential ingredient of happiness．”Do you feel you are doing a useful job? Do you feel you are achieving, or stand a chance of achieving your ambitions? If you honestly have positive answers to these questions，then eventually，you will be happy；if not，then you can still be happy by reducing your ambitions and lowering your expectations in order to achieve happiness．’The fact is, the higher your ambitions and dreams are，the more difficult it will be for you to achieve your goals and therefore it will be harder to achieve satisfaction and happiness．
Dr Argyle offers other avenues people can take to find real happiness．Music, games or sports，a drink with a friend，a simple gathering at tea，lunch or dinner with loved ones, or simply thinking of nice things, call give a person happiness, if only for a few hours．Surprisingly, television programmers, especially soap operas offers nothing but a bit of pleasurable moments． Often, television viewers are so carried away emotionally that they feel depressed or emotionally tired. Non-soap programmers，on the other hand，bore many viewers or sometimes deepen their misery．Dr Argyle further explains that wealth and worldly success do contribute to happiness．But in the ultimate analysis, Dr Argyle says, it is the person’s temperament（性情）that makes him happy or unhappy．“There are in our midst people who are naturally happy, and there are the sad ones．”
Happiness is indeed mysterious．As one wise mall put it, ‘Few are those who have never had the chance to achieve happiness，but fewer those who have never taken that chance．’

B．there are people who are by nature happy or unhappy

I spent two months with an American family last year when I studied in America．It is said that “The best house is in the U.S.A．， the best wife is in Japan and the best food is in China．”So I took 36 and pleasure to 37 “the best food” for my American family．Each day，regardless of my poor skill of cooking，I performed my play in 38 way：changing the dishes’colour，the meat’s type or the soup’s style．Thus，my American friends could discover the 39 of eating Chinese food． Because of my“ 40 ” job，I was often rewarded by their 41 of appreciation , such as “very tasty”，“excellent”etc．But the joke was here： yesterday， I cooked Sichuan－style 42 for dinner．I was 43 at my achievement．When all the family members arrived at the table，they first looked 44 at the fish，then looked at me． “Why do all the fish have their 45 ？” they asked，“It’s horrible！” Horrible or beautiful？ I don’t know． But I 46 know that fish heads are delicious. The 47 is the best part of fish； in 48 only the respectable guest can have the special 49 of enjoying it． Another 50 thing is：the American friends often said to me“ 51 ”as they 52 fruits or other things． According to Chinese tradition，I would simply smile in answer to their kindness 53 actually helping myself to any of the food. 54 ，I said “help yourself” to them whenever I brought home fruits．Dear me，no matter how much or how often I brought home food， as long as it was nice to their taste，they 55 hesitated to use their hands to “help themselves” until all was finished．
