    3、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 parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and 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 discontented．By their remarks, they sour 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 critical．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） 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 quarrels．

    1．People who are to be unhappy ________．

           A．always act differently from others．

           B．usually have a fault-finding habit．

           C．can discover the unpleasant part of certain things．

    　　There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes miserable (伤心的). This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.

    　　The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences (方便) of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful (愉快的) things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of contrary (相反的) things. Therefore, they are continually discontented (不满意的). By their remarks, they sour the pleasures of society, offend (冒犯) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The tendency (倾向) to criticize and be disgusted (使人厌恶) is perhaps taken up originally by imitation (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors (占有). The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are convinced of its had 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 (不赞成), no one will defend (辩护) or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their misconduct (不当的行为). These people should change this bad habit and condescend (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 (接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable (令人愉快的) and some times very inconvenient (不方便的), especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

    1．People who are unhappy ________.

    [　　]

    A．are usually in poor health

    B．are usually influenced by the results of certain things

    C．can discover the disadvantages of certain things

    D．usually have a fault-finding habit

    2．The phrase “sour (对……看不惯；说尖刻的话) the pleasures of society” (Sentence 5, Para. 2) means “________.”

    Section B

    　　There are two types of people in the world．Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy．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 parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather．They enjoy all the cheerful and positive things．They are in good spirits all the time．People like to make friends with them and are happy when they are successful．It can make you popular among your classmates and strengthen the relationship with others．

    　　Those who are to be unhappy always think and speak the negative things．So they are continually discontented．Those people tend to criticize and offend others, which makes themselves disagreeable everywhere．No one loves them and treats them as their friends．No one shows respect to them, either．They should change this bad habit, or they would not live a happier life．
