You can choose happiness regardless of your circumstances. You can choose to be happy no matter what challenges life brings you. Let the following simple strategies guide you back to your natural happy state.
Make lemonade when life gives you lemons.
Besides happiness, trouble will also be part of life. It's how you choose to react to your situations that make the difference. If you look at something hard enough, you'll see the positive side of it.
Do what you love doing.
Do you have a lifelong dream or desire If so, start working towards it. Taking baby steps towards a goal will help you feel like you're accomplishing something. You'll find drive and determination to reach that goal when it's something you love doing.
Use one of your talents.
One reason why so many people are unhappy is that they're not doing what they're called to do with their God－given talents. Each of us has a purpose in life. You have natural talents to help you achieve your purpose, so use your talents effectively.
Call a friend who you know is positive and cheerful.
Talk about your feelings and listen to their advice. Usually, people allow themselves to go deeper and deeper into self－depression. The truth is that you don't have to be sad. You can decide to be happy. You just have to make up your mind to do so.
Gratitude is the quickest cure for sadness.
When you focus on what's wrong with your life, you forget to look at what's right and good. Take a step back and reflect on your life. Do you have children or family to be thankful for Yes, they may not be the person we'd like them to be, but imagine life without them. Now, be thankful that you have them in your life.
Let your feelings out on paper.
Often you'll find that just getting your feelings down on paper will allow you to work through them, helping you feel better about yourself and your beautiful life!

Facebook was running my life.
But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake－up call.
“Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example.
Before absorbed in Facebook, I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls.
To set a healthier example to my son, I deactivated my Facebook account.
I'd been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting. I went to the gym to take yoga classes.
I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I'm in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year.
I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life.
After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends' kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family. I no longer have the desire to post updates often.
It is not an addiction any more.
41．What made the author begin to realize she should do something to control her time on Facebook
A．Her poor health. B．Her son's question.

Jennifer Udler was in the middle of a 50－minute session with a patient when it started to rain. Walking and talking about anxiety and stress, she and her teenage patient got wet. But when they made it back indoors, Jennifer said, “Hey, look at us! We're wet, but we got through it! Now you can use that next time you have anxiety before and during an event.” This kind of insight is key to her practice.
Jennifer, a social worker whose practice focuses on adolescents, has been a therapist(治疗师) for 20 years. For most of that time, she practiced in a traditional office, but she noticed how easy it was for her running partners to open up about their problems. After doing some research, in 2013, Jennifer founded Positive Strides Therapy, where she conducts sessions while walking outdoors. She conducts all of her sessions outdoors and in all kinds of weather.
“When somebody asks me if I specialize in walking therapy, I say, ‘No, that's how I practice，’” Udler said. “I specialize in family systems theory. Walking in the park is just where I practice.”
Despite the lack of formal research, Jennifer believes strongly in the benefits, saying that it can be helpful. “We'll be talking about ‘moving forward’ as we are actually moving forward on the path, building muscle memory of how they can move forward and leave the anxiety behind.”
And outdoor walking therapy doesn't just benefit teens. Jennifer says the adults in her practice welcome the humanizing effect of taking therapy outdoors.
46．What lesson did Jennifer teach her teenage patient through the rain
A．Rain and suffering are a part of life.
B．She is ready to help the young man.
C．We can beat our difficulty after all.
D．Rain can help us deal with our trouble.
47．The underlined word “insight” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________．
A．qualification B．foresight
C．awareness D．prediction
48．How does Jennifer feel her therapy in her reply to people's question
A．Doubtful. B．Confident.
C．Unconcerned. D．Disappointed.
49．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．The lack of formal research about the therapy.
B．Building physical memory of past experience.
C．Treating her teen patients in a traditional office.
D．Conducting walk－and－talk therapy for teens.
50．Why does Jennifer think her therapy will help her patients
A．Walking outdoors is similar to managing worries.
B．Moving in the rain is a bit too difficult to tolerate.
C．The rain can make one excited and face the trouble.
D．Running in the rain or storm will make one healthy.
D
From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created：the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self?esteem. Your level of self－esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self－esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial(长期的) victims and martyrs. They are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
If you associate with positive?thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.
51．People with low self－esteem are compared to leaves because they ________．
A．are ready to change their minds
B．are easily affected by windy weather
C．don't have the power to face their fate
D．can't exercise control over themselves
52．Losers would think that ________．
A．success is the result of hard work
B．working hard will lead to success
C．their failure is only because of bad luck
D．they don't make efforts to succeed
53．It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that ________．
A．whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes
B．developing confidence is the key to future success
C．thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D．setting our expectations is essential before taking action
54．The last paragraph serves as ________．
A．the proof of the author's points B．the conclusion of the argument
C．an introduction to another topic D．a comparison between two views
55．Which is the best title for the text
A．The Secrets of Success B．Success Is A Choice
C．Develop Our Confidence D．How to Achieve Success

In June 2011, my life changed and so did my family's.
I remember the day like it was yesterday. I came downstairs all ready for the family swim. Right before I got into the pool, my mom called me inside. She sat me down and waited for my dad and brothers to come to join us. Then, our parents told us the worst news imaginable—my dad had been diagnosed with Stage Ⅲ Colon Cancer(结肠癌)．
The news hit hard of course. However, in my head, my dad was a superman. As his daughter, I knew that cancer wasn't going to beat him. I just went out and swam.
As weeks went on, life didn't change much within our house. My mom still went to work; my brothers and I still went to school; and my dad still worked while also meeting his doctor. However, I didn't realize how much this new diagnosis was going to change my life.
As treatment progressed with my dad's cancer, I couldn't depend on him for things he usually did. And with my brothers being away at college, I had to take on a lot more responsibility. But that was not the hardest part of this new journey. It was the fear. The fear that I could lose my dad. The fear that I could get a call saying that he was in bad condition. The fear that I could never talk to him again. Yet with all these fears, there was never a doubt in my mind that my dad would beat this cancer. He was a superman.
The day of my dad's surgery finally came. It was Father's Day and I had my soccer game that day. I won my battle on the field and my dad won his in the hospital.
May 2013, my dad was completely cancer free. Though this journey proved to be a few of the hardest years of my life, it also proved to me how wonderful my dad really is.
