Everyone wants to achieve true happiness in life. But the biggest factor holding most of us back is actually our ownselves. The Huffington Post released a list of seven mistakes we need to let go of in order to become happier people. Let’s take a look.

1.Placing too much emphasis on fulfillment (成就感)

Those who put a lot of pressure on themselves to be happy feel more lonely on a daily basis than those who do not, according to research conducted at the University of Denver, US.

2. Keeping it all in

Keeping it all together during tough times can hurt you. Crying is the body’s emotional response to outside triggers (誘因).By suppressing it, you may be damaging your mental and physical health.

3. Looking at your smart phone all the time

Connecting with others may be the key to happiness, but a recent University of Michigan study found that the more time participants spent on social networking sites, the less happy they felt.

4. Not moving

It’s no secret that a healthy lifestyle is a big part of happiness. Something as simple as a walk can help you increase your creativity and expose you to essential vitamins.

5. Not reflecting on the past

In a 2013 study on nostalgia (懷舊) and emotion, participants reported a higher sense of physiological comfort when they looked back on the past. Affection for heartwarming memories helps people relate their past experiences to the present in order to create a greater sense of meaning.

6. Resisting change

A study on the psychology of choices shows that the human brain naturally tries to avoid loss—but that resistance can cause stress. Whether it’s fear of the unknown or fear of losing what you currently have, the pressure to hold on to the present can harm your future life satisfaction.

7. Not being mindful

Setting aside time for meditation (沉思) allows your body to relax, cultivates an attitude of gratitude and lowers your stress level, according to researchers at University of California, Los Angeles, US.

1.What is the main purpose of the article?

A. To inform readers of the benefits of being happy.

B. To explain why our happiness depends on our own actions.

C. To point out the things we do that prevent us from being happy.

D. To discuss some typical characteristics of happy people.

2.The underlined word “suppressing” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to .

A. speaking of B. holding back

C. thinking about D. taking no notice of

3.According to the article, to be a happy person, it is important for us to .

A. set goals and achieve as much as we can

B. avoid recalling the past

C. do exercise in our spare time

D. spend more time on social networking sites

4.According to the article, meditation is helpful mainly because .

A. it increases our creativity

B. it makes us less afraid of the unknown

C. it helps us relax and thus reduce our stress

D. it allows us to relate our past experiences to the present

Sometimes successful health campaigns can have quite unexpected reactions．The years of warnings about skin cancer mean that Britons are happy to cover themselves in sunscreen or stay out of the sun altogether, but it also means that most of us are not getting enough vitamin D.

Scientists announced yesterday that Britons need to increase to three times the amount of vitamin D they get per day．They called on food producers to fortify(強(qiáng)化)their products with more of the vitamin and suggested people should consider taking supplements(補(bǔ)充物) to keep levels up．They also suggested getting out in the sun for short periods more often, but they warned against “sun bingeing”.

The government does not publish official advice on the amount of vitamin D people should take due to a lack of research, says Dr Birgit Teucher of the Institute for Food Research．But in the US, the government recommends 5 micrograms a day．By that count, Dr Birgit Teucher said that around 90% of Britons between 19 and 64 would be lacking in the vitamin because they only took around 3 micrograms a day.

Vitamin D is important for absorption of calcium(鈣)by the body, which is needed for healthy teeth and bones．A lack of it can lead to serious diseases in both children and adults．The vitamin can be found in some foods but it can also be obtained from chemicals in the skin reacting to sunlight．Dr Barbara Boucher said adults should get 5 to 25 micrograms a day．Shortage of vitamin D may be linked to diseases such as muscle weakness, high blood pressure and rickets(佝僂病).

Dr Birgit Teucher gave several reasons for the lack among Britons．Increasing numbers of office-based jobs mean a lack of exposure to the sun; and the rise of becoming overweight means that vitamin D—which is fat soluble(可溶解的)一is increasingly stored in body fat, where it cannot be accessed readily.

Professor Brian Wharton of the Institute of Child Health said that children in particular needed to have enough vitamin D to prevent rickets.

Professor Graham Bentham, an environmental scientist at the University of East Anglia, added that babies who were only breast-fed probably need to take supplements in case their mother was vitamin D lacking．Those drinking milk were likely to be OK, thanks to the fortification of the drink.

The scientists called on food producers to fortify milk, bread and breakfast nutrient to enable people to get their daily amount of the vitamin．Prof Graham Bentham added that 30 minutes of sun exposure to the face and forearms between April and October would be sufficient．Outside these months, the sun is not strong enough in Britain for the body to produce its own vitamin D.

But Prof Graham Bentham warned against spending too long in the sun．“Sun bingeing is well known to be dangerous,” he said．“In any case, vitamin D transformation in the skin switches off after a while so short frequent amounts are better for vitamin D formation.”

1.From Paragraphs l&2 we can infer that_________.

A． some health campaigns are very successful

B． people are lacking in various vitamins

C． Britons are advised not to get out in the sun

D． vitamin D can be obtained by staying in the sun

2.The word “sufficient” (Paragraph 8) is the closest in meaning to _________.

A． enough B． proper

C． familiar D． available

3.From the passage, we can conclude_________.

A． the babies who were only breast—fed certainly need to take vitamin D supplements

B． a large quantity of vitamin D stored in body fat is the primary reason for being overweight

C． the sunlight can produce adequate vitamin D that the body needs all year round

D． vitamin D is vital for the body to absorb calcium needed for healthy teeth and bones

4.The government doesn’t give official advice on the amount of vitamin D because_________.

A． they think it is harmful for health

B． they don’t want to be blamed

C． they aren’t confident of its function

D． they haven’t concrete proof

5.Which best describes the writer’s tone in the passage?

A． Humorous． B． Objective.

C． Pessimistic． D． One-sided.

Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder．The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE.

Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming, aged 32, laborer, last July．The jury(陪審團(tuán)) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court．It was, said the Judge, a simple case．Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming．When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.

Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour．Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.”

“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly．No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do．“Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly(麻木地)．“And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”

Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said．“Fee, pack your things．We’ll go to see him.”

She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．“I can't go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there．“It would kill him to see me．I know him so well—his pride, his ambition．Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants．We’ve got to help him keep his secret．What good will it do him to see us?”

Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes．Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself．He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children．Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away．But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.

So he said, “Well, Fee, we won’t go．But we must make sure he is taken care of．How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”

There was no excitement in the eyes, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．“Yes, Paddy, do that．Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out．Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.”

1. Paddy cried because he thought ___________.

A．Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment

B．Frank should have told Fee what had happened

C．what had happened to Frank was killing Fee

D．Frank had always been a man of bad moral character

2. The underlined sentence “She half-rose before sinking back…” in Paragraph 6 shows that___________.

A． Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up

B． Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank

C． Fee couldn’t leave her family to go to see Frank

D． Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish

3. What can be inferred from the passage?

A． The jury and the judge agreed on the Boxer’s Sentence of Life Imprisonment.

B． The police found Gumming unconscious, heavily struck by Frank.

C． The family didn’t find out what had happened to Frank until 3 years later.

D． Frank didn’t want his family to know the sentence to him, most probably out of his pride.

4. What is Frank and Paddy’s probable relationship with Fee?

A． Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s brother.

B． Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s husband.

C． Frank is Fee’s brother and Paddy is Fee’s lover.

D． Frank is Fee’s lover and Paddy is Fee’s husband.
