Year of Giving
Yesterday I started the Year of Giving, my first day of a year-long journey into exploring the act of giving and the meaning of charity. I chose December IS as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.
I had a rattier busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $10 to. I was running late and decided to do it afterwards.
After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out Dupont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my first $10. He wasn’t there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say. I think I said something like “Hi, can I sit down here ” “I would like to know if I could give you $10 ” He asked me to repeat what I had said. I did, then he looked at me funny, got up and left
I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves!
24. The author set the starting date on December 15 to ________ .
A. help the charity B. make an exploration
C. remember his mother D. fulfill the wish of his mum
25. In the author’s first attempt to give away the money, ________ .
A. he was considered silly B. be hesitated for a long time
C. he was forced to donate the money D. he had no time to take action
26. In the author’s second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because ________ .
A. he didn’t need others’ help B. he thought more for others
C. he didn’t care about money D. he wanted to get more money
27. We can infer that the author was inspired by ________ .
A. true friendship B. his own kindness
C. generous donations D. human’s good nature
C
If you analyze people’s actions, you will come to the conclusion that they all seek happiness. Every act is in fact a search for it, even if on the surface it doesn’t look so. Happiness is always the main target.
Going to the movies, eating in a restaurant and going to a party are all motivated by the desire to be happy. Who does not dream of a vacation in some fascinating locations, a new car, a new house, or the ideal match All people daydream, and some even try to make their dream a reality. And why is that In order to be happy!
Many people endanger themselves by climbing steep mountains, entering unexplored caves, or diving into the deep of the ocean in order to enjoy the few moments of happiness. A thief may steal because he loves the thrill of danger, or because he desires to have quick money to spend. He is actually looking for happiness, though in a perverted way.
Of course not all actions end in happiness. The motive is happiness, but the results do not always bring the desire. According to some spiritual traditions, we are spiritual beings in physical bodies. The spiritual part is always happy. Rather, it is happiness itself. But the physical body covers this happiness essence(本质). There is a constant desire to find out this happiness. This is the reason why happiness is constantly sought.
However, there is.no need to search for happiness or to create it, or to have all kinds of outer experiences and actions in order to feel it. On the contrary, everything has to be dropped in order to experience it. Every technique, which helps to relax the mind and calm the rush of thoughts will lead to happiness.
28. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that______.
A. happiness is a daydream
B. it is very hard to analyze people’s actions
C. many things people do are to attain happiness
D. one should act carefully so as not to show his purpose
29. The underlined word “perverted” in Paragraph 3 most likely means
A. illegal B. unfair C. cautious D. difficult
30. According to the author, why do people seek happiness all the time
A. All actions don’t result in the expected happiness
B. There is little awareness of the nature of happiness.
C. One’s physical body is controlled by his spiritual part.
D. People arc so greedy that it’s hard to satisfy their desires.
D
Have you ever wished you could be better organized or more sociable Perhaps you’re a constant worrier, and you’d prefer to be a little more carefree Actually at least 2/3 of people would like to change some elements of their personality. In the past, such desires appeared to be fruitless. One’s personality was thought to be formed in childhood and to remain fixed throughout his entire life.
Recent research from psychology professor Nathan Hudson and his colleagues, however, challenges this expectation of a fixed personality. With the right psychological strategies and enough effort, they say, many people can successfully shape their desired personality.
Their interventions (干预) typically involve recommending regular activities that reflect the personality traits(特征) people wish to adopt. Introverts who wish to be more outgoing, for example, might have the goal of introducing themselves to a stranger once a week, or making small talk with the cashier in the supermarket. Someone who wishes to be more organized and disciplined might be asked to carefully double-check an email before sending it, or to write a to-do list before going to bed.
While these tasks may seem insignificant, the aim is for the thinking patterns and behaviors they produce to become habitual. And the evidence so far suggests it works remarkably well. In one 15-week trial of 400 people, participants accepted an average of two challenges each week. After they completed those tasks, their traits shifted in the desired direction, according to a personality questionnaire (调查问卷).
The unexpected personality change should be good news for anyone who wishes they were a bit more sociable, organized, or happy-go-lucky. Another potential benefit is that awareness of this research could help improve mental health.
People always believe negative feelings are just part of who they are, and there is little they can do to change them. But what if educating people about their potential for personality change could place them on a more positive track To test this idea, Harvard professor of psychology, John Weisz, and his partner selected a group of 100 teenagers who had previously shown signs of anxiety or depression. They took a computerized course that explained the science of brain plasticity(可塑性), and were then given worksheets to strengthen what they had learned.
When Weisz checked in on the teens’ mental health nine months later, the students reported a significant decrease in their anxiety and depression compared with those who had instead taken part in a course on “emotional expression”.
Whether you are struggling with serious issues or simply want to polish off your rougher edges, remember that character is within your own hands and you have the power to become what you want to be.
31. According to the passage, an old belief about personality is that ________.
A. most people are satisfied with their personality
B. sociable or organized people are more popular
C. childhood has nothing to do with personality
D. people can’t change their personality traits
32. In Nathan Hudson’s research, participants ________.
A. became more aware of their mental health
B. formed new thinking patterns and behaviors
C. reported their completed tasks in the questionnaire
D. were advised to work as cashiers in the supermarket
33. John Weisz’s study is mentioned to ________ Hudson’s research.
A. question the result of B. make a comparison with
C. explain the method used in D. show an additional benefit of
34. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage
A. Mental Issues: More than Meets the Eye B. Personality: It Is Not Set in Stone
C. Your Personality Shapes Your Future D. A Great Cure for Mental Problems
