D．that；because解析：选C。由于第一空前有名词the reason，我们便可以用代入法，看看能否将其带入从句中充当成分，能充当成分作主语、表语或宾语的，就是定语从句，用关系代词。从本句可以看出the reason充当explain的宾语，所以用关系代词that或which。表示原因的名词或从句等作主语时，其后的表语从句常用that引导，不可用because。故正确答案是C。用That’s why或That’s because填空

Host：　　We’re talking about happiness today.To some，happiness is being surrounded by family and friends.To others，happiness means achieving success in something，such as meeting a goal.To those who have been injured or struggle with a physical disability，happiness can simply mean a day without suffering，or just being alive.Our guest today is Dr Brain，who has written several books about happiness and the things people do to keep themselves happy.Dr Brain，thank you for joining us today.
Dr Brain：Thank you for inviting me.Today，I’m going to talk about how to find happiness.
Host：　　I understand that you often use the example of the gymnast Sang Lan to show how people can find happiness even during times of a personal catastrophe.Dr Brain：Yes，Sang Lan is a very good example of someone who is happy with her life，even when people expect her to be sad.Before her accident，we knew her as a young girl who was happy and successful in her sport.While she was injured and in hospital，she amazed the world by the way she remained cheerful.Now，she finds happiness through reaching much smaller goals，and through the love of the people around her.
Host：　　Well，in case some of our viewers don’t know her story，can you tell us a little bit about Sang Lan and who she is?
Dr Brain：Of course.Sang Lan was born in Ningbo，China in 1981，and began learning gymnastics when she was only six years old.By the time she competed in the gymnastics tournament at the New York Goodwill Games，she had been a junior gymnast for eleven years.Sang Lan’s best event was always the vault.She started winning competitions in 1991 and kept working hard.Her teammates described her as energetic，happy and hard?working.Even though her training meant that she had to live apart from her parents，she was happy to devote herself to gymnastics.Sang Lan knew that in those years，she was working towards something special，and she was making her parents proud.In 1998，a small accident during one of her practice vaults at the Goodwill Games could have cost her her future happiness.A coach changed the way the equipmentwas set up, but Sang Lan was not aware of the change until it was too late.She hit her head，and then fell to the gymnastics mat with a broken neck.She was rushed to a top hospital in New York.Specialists from many parts of the world said that because of her severe injuries，she would never walk again.Host：　　That must have been difficult for her.She must have been very sad.
Dr Brain：No，that is why her story is so special.Everyone who saw her，from nurses to famous visitors like Leonardo DiCaprio from the film Titanic，who went to see her in the hospital to cheer her up，all said she was in good spirits.Sang Lan knew that for many people the secret to happiness is to have appreciation for the good things in life，and to focus on goals.Instead of crying about what she had lost and feeling hopeless，Sang Lan thought about what she could do to get better.Her teammates were competing while she was in hospital.When they visited her and told her abouttheir successes，she was happy for them.When the doctors told her that she would never again be a gymnast，she was able to overcome her sorrow by being proud of the things she had accomplished.She felt thankful to be alive and lucky to have the rest of her life to learn new things.
Host：　　That is really amazing，Dr Brain.How old was she when this happened?
Dr Brain：She was only seventeen years old.
Host：　　And how has Sang Lan adapted to her new life?Dr Brain：Very well.She went back to China，and graduated from Peking University in 2007 with a degree in broadcasting.She also hosted a sports programme about the 2008 Beijing Olympics，and continues to be a popular figure on TV.However，her primary goal is to advocate better treatment for disabled people.She says that she likes to be optimistic.She also believes that keeping busy helps her stay positive.Host：　　I hope all of our viewers have been inspired by Sang Lan！I think her courage is admirable.I know I will think about how she rebuilt her life whenever my life feels unbearable.寻求幸福
Host：　　我们今天来谈论幸福这个话题。对某些人来说，幸福就是有家人和朋友陪伴在自己身边。对另一些人来说，幸福意味着在某个方面取得成功， 比如说实现一个目标。对那些受伤的人或者是身体有残疾而行动不便的人，幸福可能仅仅意味着过一天没有疼痛的日子，或者仅仅是活着而已。我们今天的嘉宾是布莱恩博士。他写过好几本有关幸福以及人们为保持幸福采取什么措施的书。布莱恩博士，谢谢您参加我们今天的节目。Dr Brain：谢谢你的邀请。今天，我来谈谈如何寻找幸福。
Host：　　我知道，你经常拿体操运动员桑兰为例子来告诉人们：即使遭遇个人灾难时，也能找到幸福。
Dr Brain：是的，桑兰是一个很好的例子，甚至在大家以为她会悲伤的时候也感到生活幸福。在她出事故之前，我们都知道桑兰是一个年轻快乐的姑娘，在体育方面有骄人的成绩。她受伤住院期间，世人都为她依然开朗的样子感到惊讶。如今，她在实现较小目标的过程中、从周边人对她的爱中找到了幸福。Host：　　嗯，或许我们有些观众还不知道桑兰的故事，您能跟我们简单介绍一下桑兰吗？
Dr Brain：当然可以。桑兰于1981年出生在中国的宁波市，六岁时就开始学习体操，到她角逐纽约友好运动会的体操锦标赛时，她已经是一位有着11年运动生涯的体操小将了。桑兰最拿手的项目一项是跳马。她自1991年就开始获得奖牌，并且一直刻苦训练。根据队友的描述，她精力充沛、精神愉悦、勤奋刻苦。参加训练意味着她不能和父母住在一起，但尽管如此，她还是乐意奉献于体操。在那些年里，桑兰知道，自己正朝一个特别的目标而奋斗，她让父母为她感到骄傲和自豪。然而，1998年在友好运动会上进行跳马练习时的一个小事故把她原本可能的未来的幸福化成泡影。一位教练改变了器械的安置方式，但是当桑兰意识到这种改变时，已经太晚了。她栽了下去，倒在厚垫子上，折了脖子。她被紧急送往纽约市的一家顶级医院。世界各地的专家都说，由于伤势严重，她将永远无法行走了。Host：　　这个事故对她来说想必无法承受，她肯定是非常伤心。
Dr Brain：并非如此，这正是她的故事显得特别的地方。见过她的每个人，从医院的护士，到像电影《泰坦尼克号》主演莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥等前往医院探访、给她鼓励的名人都说她精神状态良好。桑兰懂得，对很多人来说幸福的秘诀在于思考美好的事情，集中精力实现自己的目标。所以，桑兰并没有为失去的一切呼天抢地，并没有感到绝望，她想到的就是，为了改善自己的状态，自己能做些什么。她住院期间，队友们继续比赛。队友们前往医院看望她，跟她讲述各自的成功时，她为队友们感到喜悦。当医生告诉她，她再也不能当体操运动员了的时候，桑兰能够克服失落感，为她已经取得的成绩感到骄傲和自豪。她为自己仍然活着感到幸福，为她自己还有余生可以学习新东西感到庆幸。Host：　　这真让人惊叹，布莱恩博士。这个事件发生时她多大？
Dr Brain：她当时只有17岁。
Host：　　那桑兰是怎样适应新生活的呢？
Dr Brain：她适应得非常好。她之后回到了中国，2007年毕业于北京大学并获得播音主持专业的学位，她还主持了2008年北京奥运会的一档体育节目，依然是电视上受欢迎的人物。然而，她最主要的目标是为残疾人倡导更好的医疗条件。她告诉人们，她愿意考虑事物的积极面，始终保持乐观的态度。她相信，忙碌有助于保持积极的状态。Host：　　我希望我们所有的观众都从桑兰的身上得到了启发和鼓舞！我觉得她的勇气令人钦佩。我知道，以后每当我感到生活难以承受时，都会想一想桑兰是如何重建生活的。
