幸福是什么?幸福在哪里?对于幸福,每个人都有自己不同的感受和理解。
What is happiness?
Happiness,for most people,is a fortune pursued and cherished by everyone in their life.There is no exact definition of “happiness” in that different people have their own interpretation of it.Actually it is common that a happy person ought to be absolutely content with the possession and harbor a positive mind toward the reality.Having access to happiness is not hard once we are satisfied with what we own at hand as well as keeping a good mood.
There is a common phenomenon that a lot of people regard financial state as the criteria to judge whether a family is happy or not.They believe as long as they possess enough money they have access to what they desire or dream of in order to satisfy their needs.On the contrary,others stress more on affections than wealth because they are able to enrich themselves by heart-to-heart communication.Regarding and being regarded whole-heartedly,they feel a sense of achievement or warmth.Encouraged by parents before giving up,assisted by friends when falling down,even congratulated by teachers after making a breakthrough,they permanently cherish those deep memories in their mind.
From my perspective,I believe happiness comes from love that cannot be bought.In other words,love addresses on a higher position than wealth or material possessions.To conclusion,love is like sunshine to make me warm,like a song to cheer me up,and like a lamp in my journey.

The search for happiness
Host:We're talking about happiness today.To some,happiness is being surrounded (围绕,环绕) 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 (疼痛),or just being alive.
Our guest today is Dr Brain,who has written several books about happiness and the things people do① to keep themselves happy.Dr Brain,thank you for joining us today.
寻求幸福
主持人:我们今天来谈论幸福这个话题。对一些人来说,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,比如实现一个目标。对那些受伤的人或者是身有残疾的人来说,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了使自己保持幸福所做的事的书。布莱恩博士,谢谢您参加我们今天的节目。
[助读讲解] ①people do 是省略that或which的宾语从句,修饰先行词the things,the things在定语从句中充当do的宾语。
Dr Brain:Thank you for inviting me.Today,I'm going to talk about how to find happiness②.
Host:I understand that you often use the example of the gymnast (体操运动员) Sang Lan to show how people can find happiness even during times of a personal catastrophe③.
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 sad④.Before her accident,we knew her as a young girl who was happy and successful in her sport.While she was injured and in hospital⑤,she amazed the world by the way she remained cheerful⑥.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 (电视观众) don't know her story,can you tell us a little bit about Sang Lan and who she is?
布莱恩博士:谢谢您的邀请。今天,我将谈谈关于如何找到幸福。
主持人:我知道,您经常用体操运动员桑兰的例子来告诉人们,即使遭遇个人灾难时,也能找到幸福。
布莱恩博士:是的,桑兰就是一个非常好的例子,即使别人预料她会很伤心,但她却生活得很幸福。在事故发生之前,我们知道桑兰是一个年轻、快乐的女孩,在体育方面有傲人的成绩。在她受伤住院期间,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。
主持人:嗯,以防我们有些观众还不知道桑兰的故事,您能为我们简单介绍一下桑兰吗?
[助读讲解] ②how引导的宾语从句作介词about的宾语。③that引导宾语从句,从句中又含有how引导的宾语从句。④主句中who引导定语从句,修饰先行词someone;从句中when引导的是时间状语从句。⑤while引导的是时间状语从句。⑥中she remained cheerful是定语从句,省略了引导词that或in which修饰先行词the way。
Dr Brain:Of course.Sang Lan was born in Ningbo,China in 1981,and began learning gymnastics when she was only six years old⑦.By the time she competed in the gymnastics tournament at the New York Goodwill (友好;善意) Games⑧,she had been a junior (有少年心) gymnast for eleven years.Sang Lan's best event was always the vault (跳马).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 (远离) her parents⑨,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 equipment was 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 (厚垫子) with a broken neck.She was rushed to a top hospital in New York.Specialists (专家) from many parts of the world said that because of her severe (严重的) injuries,she would never walk again⑩.
布莱恩博士:当然可以。桑兰于1981年出生在中国的宁波市,当她只有6岁时就开始学习体操。到参加纽约友好运动会的体操锦标赛时,桑兰已经是一名有着十一年经历的体操小将了。桑兰最拿手的项目一直是跳马。自1991年她就开始在多次比赛中获胜,并且一直刻苦训练。她的队友们说她精力充沛、快乐、刻苦。
尽管参加训练意味着她不得不与父母分开,但她还是乐意投身于体操中。桑兰知道,在那些年里,自己正朝一个特别的目标奋斗,她在使父母为她感到骄傲。1998年在友好运动会上进行跳马练习时的一个小事故,可能把她未来的幸福化为泡影。一位教练改变了设备安放的方式,当桑兰意识到这一变化时,为时已晚。她一头栽到了体操垫子上,颈骨折断。她被紧急送往纽约市的一家顶级医院。来自世界各地的许多专家说,由于伤势严重,她将永远无法行走了。
[助读讲解] ⑦when引导时间状语从句。⑧by the time 引导时间状语从句。⑨even though 引导让步状语从句,从句中又含有that引导的宾语从句。⑩that引导宾语从句。
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 (心情好).Sang Lan knew that for many people the secret to happiness is to have appreciation (欣赏) 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 about their 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 (悲伤) by being proud of the things she had accomplished (完成,实现).She felt thankful to be alive and lucky to have the rest of her life to learn new things.
主持人:那对她来说想必无法承受,她肯定是非常伤心。
布莱恩博士:事实并非如此,那正是她的故事如此特别的原因。见过她的每个人,从医院的护士,到前往医院探访、给她鼓励的名人,如主演《泰坦尼克号》的莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥等,都说她精神状态很好。桑兰知道,对很多人来说,幸福的秘诀在于欣赏生活中美好的东西,集中精力实现自己的目标。所以,桑兰并没有为失去的一切哭泣,感到绝望,她想到的是她能做什么以使自己更好。她住院期间,队友们继续比赛。队友们前往医院看望她,跟她讲述他们的成功时,她为队友们感到高兴。当医生告诉她,她再也不能当体操运动员时,桑兰能够通过为自己事业已取得的成绩感到骄傲和自豪这种方式而战胜悲痛。她庆幸自己仍然活着,庆幸自己未来还有余生学习新东西。

布莱恩博士:她当时只有17岁。

①I'll get there,even though I have to walk.
即使走我也要走到那里。
②Girl as/though she is,she can go alone in the darkness.
尽管是个女孩,她却敢一个人走夜路。

(教材P21)Yes,as long as I still had my family and friends.是的,只要我还有我的家人和朋友。

条件状语从句常用连词:
if/unless/as(so)long as/on condition that/provided(providing)that.../suppose
(supposing)that.../say that.../let's say that...
unless=if...not,意为“如果不/没有……”
注意:在陈述语气中,主句是一般将来时,条件和时间状语从句用一般现在时。
①You can go where you like as long as you get back before dark.
你可以随意到任何地方,只要你能在天黑前回来。

姑娘两眼望着他,他不知道说什么好。
②Her glasses broken(break),she couldn't see the words on the blackboard.
眼镜摔坏了,她看不见黑板上的字。
③The class over(=After the class was over),we all went out to play.
下课后,我们都出去玩了。
(教材P22)It was with great sadness that they learnt of the man's death.
正是伴着巨大的悲伤他们了解到那个人去世了。
[要点提炼] It was...that...为强调句型,这里强调了状语with great sadness。强调句型的一般句式为“It is/was+被强调的部分+that+其他部分”。that只起连接作用,不作成分,但不能省略,可以强调句子的主语、宾语和状语。
(1)强调句型的一般疑问句形式
Was/Is it+被强调部分+that+其他?
(2)特殊疑问句
疑问词+was/is it+that+其他?
①It was in the library that I saw her yesterday.
我昨天在图书馆见到的她。
②It is not who is right but what is right that is of importance.
重要的不是谁是对的而是什么是对的。
③What is it that you want me to say?
你到底想要我说什么?
[名师点津]
“强调”一点
强调句型有时易与主语从句(带it作形式主语的情况)混淆,判断的方法是:如果将句子中的“it is/was”和“that”去掉,句子依然通顺,则是强调句型,否则就不是。
(教材P26)Whichever way I look at it,I'll never be really good at anything unless I quit doing everything else.
[分析] 复合句。whichever引导的是让步状语从句;在主句中包含有unless引导的条件状语从句。
[翻译] 无论从哪个方面看,我将永远不能做好任何事,除非我放弃做其他的事。

Dear son,
You know what a surprise to me when I learn you are smoking these days.
It is known to all that smoking is harmful to our health.And it's even more harmful to middle school students for it does great harm to their health physically and mentally.It is smoking that causes many illnesses.A lot of people always suffer from coughing because of smoking.The most serious illness caused by smoking is lung cancer.
Meanwhile,smoking is also a waste of money.For example,if you spend 15 yuan on a pack of cigarettes every day,then in a year that is about 5,400 yuan. It will be more meaningful if the money can be used in a good way.Apart from it,careless smokers may cause dangerous fires.
Thus,to keep healthy,you should make your mind to get rid of the bad habit of smoking.Please quit smoking at once.
I love you and believe you!

“Are you happy?”I asked my brother,Ian,one day.
“Yes.No.It depends on what you mean,”he said.
“Then tell me,”I said,“when was the last time you think you were happy?”
“April,1967 ,”he said.
It served me right for putting a serious question to someone who has joked his way through life.But Ian's answer reminded me that when we think about happiness,we usually think of something extraordinary,a pinnacle(顶点)of delight.And those pinnacles seem to get rarer the older we get.
For a child,happiness is simple,such as playing with friends.In the teenage years,the concept of happiness changes.Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement,love and popularity.For adults,happiness is complicated—love,marriage,responsibility and the risk of loss.
My dictionary defines happy as“lucky”or“fortunate”,but I think a better definition of happiness is“the capacity for enjoyment”.The more we can enjoy what we have,the happier we are.It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved,the company of friends,the freedom to live where we please,even good health.
I added up my little moments of pleasure yesterday.First I had my breakfast and had the house to myself.Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing,which I love.When the kids came home,I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.
You never know where happiness will turn up next.When I asked friends what makes them happy,some mentioned seemingly unimportant moments.“I hate shopping,”one friend said.“But there's this shop assistant who always chats and really cheers me up.”
Another friend loves the telephone.“Every time it rings,I know someone is thinking about me.”
We all experience moments like these.Too few of us think of them as happiness.
While happiness may be more complex for us,the solution is the same as ever.Happiness isn't about what happens to us;it's about how we think of what happens to us.It's not wishing for what we don't have,but enjoying what we do have.
【语篇解读】 本文就什么是幸福展开了议论。不同的人对幸福有不同的解读。
1.What kind of feeling did the writer have when he heard Ian's reply to his question about happiness?
A.He had a little regret to ask Ian such a question.
B.He was satisfied with Ian's answer.
C.He didn't understand what Ian meant.
D.He was more confused about happiness.
A [细节理解题。Ian没有给出一个确切的回答,作者问了等于没问,故有些后悔多此一举。另外从第五段第一句也可以看出作者有些后悔。该句的意思是“我活该要向一个一生中好开玩笑的人提出一个如此严肃的问题。”]
2.It is widely thought that as one grows older,getting happiness seems to be .
A.out of the question
B.as easy as falling off a log
C.a romantic dream
D.more and more difficult
D [细节理解题。根据第五段末句和第六段可知“随着年龄的增长,得到幸福似乎变得越来越难了”。选项A、B的意思分别是:“不可能”、“易如反掌”。]
3.From Paragraph 8 we know that the writer's happiness view is .
A.something extraordinary,a pinnacle of delight
B.to enjoy what he or she has
C.to try to get what he or she doesn't have
D.to love others and to be loved by others
B [细节理解题。从第八段可以看出,作者很满足那天自己所拥有的顺其自然的状况。这恰恰与作者在全文最后一句中所提及的自己的幸福观相吻合,即:enjoying what we do have。]
4.The writer feels it is a pity that we sometimes .
A.have not our own house to live in
B.ignore the happiness that we have
C.don't know how to get happiness
D.don't notice others can cheer us up

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
This is the season for giving.Looking to get in touch with your generous side?Learn these four habits of truly thoughtful gift givers.
1
Considerate gift giving is as much about planning as it is about how well you know the person. Take time to think about his or her personality and interests to figure out how he or she will get the most value.
They don't focus on cost.
The practice of thoughtful giving offers a wealth of benefits,but that doesn't mean givers should focus on expensive gifts. 2 It seems that having more cash could actually reduce compassion (同情).And isn't compassion what this time of year is all about?So don't take it too hard if you don't have a lot to spend. 3
They make gifts personal.
Gifting is an opportunity to let a person know how much you appreciate and love him,and show how well you know him. 4 Book a massage (按摩),take them to a wine tasting event,or get a couple of tickets to a concert or show.If you're buying for a parent,taking their kids for an evening could be the best gift of all.
They think about the presentation.
5 See what you have around your house to customize (自定义) packaging.You can use pretty towels to cover something like a bottle of wine.You can also tie on a decoration that fits the theme of your gift.
A.They plan ahead.
B.Instead,get creative.
C.They enjoy giving more than receiving.
D.In fact,thoughtful gift givers don't concentrate on the cost of presents.
E.Thoughtful gift givers pay attention to detail,including how their gifts are packaged.
F.Make a list of your ideas ahead of time to make sure you find the perfect fit for everyone.
G.If you're buying for someone who seems to have everything,consider gifting an experience.
【语篇解读】 本文主要谈的是如何赠送别人礼物。
1.A [通过关键词“planning”和第二句话“Take time to think about...how he or she will get the most value.”可知答案选A,送礼物前要做计划。]
2.D [与上句相反,给礼物没必要只是关注比较昂贵的礼物,据此可判断选D,贴心的礼物赠送者不关注礼物的价钱。]
3.B [所以没钱的时候不要太想不开,相反,有创意就行了。]
4.G [根据关键词experience,下面的举例都是关于经历的,故选G。]
5.E [本段内容谈的是礼物的包装问题,故答案选E,贴心的礼物赠送者总是注意细节,包括如何包装礼物。]

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Happiness is contagious,researchers reported on Thursday.
People with the most social connections—spouses(配偶),friends,neighbors and relatives—were also the happiest,the data showed.“Each additional happy person makes you happier,”Christakis said.
“Imagine that I am connected to you and you are connected to others and others are connected to still others.It is this fabric (结构) of humanity,like an American patch quilt.”
Each person sits on a different colored patch.“Imagine that these patches are happy and unhappy patches.Your happiness depends on what is going on in the patches around you,”Christakis said.
“It is not just happy people connecting with happy people.Above and beyond,there is this contagious process going on.”
And happiness is more contagious than unhappiness,they discovered.
“If a social contact is happy,it increases the likelihood that you are happy by 15 percent,”Fowler said.“A friend of a friend,or the friend of a spouse or a sibling (兄弟姐妹),if they are happy,increases your chances by 10 percent,”he added.
A happy third-degree friend—the friend of a friend of a friend—increases a person's chances of being happy by 6 percent.
“But every extra unhappy friend increases the likelihood that you'll be unhappy by 7 percent ,”Fowler said.
“The finding is interesting and it is useful,too,” Fowler said.“Among other benefits,happiness has been shown to have an important effect on reduced mortality(死亡率),pain reduction,and improved cardiac(心脏的) fun_ction.So better understanding of how happiness spreads can help us learn how to promote a healthier society ,”he said.
The study also fits in with other data suggested in 1984 that having $ 5,000 extra increased a person's chances of becoming happier by about 2 percent.“A happy friend is worth about $ 20,000,”Christakis said.

You use her as a shoulder to cry on.She texts you back with casual jokes.But she,Xiaoice,is only a virtual chatbot.
Xiaoice,Microsoft's latest artificial intelligence robot,was briefly released in 2014,and returned to WeChat in 2015,where she became a big hit.Millions of young Chinese now exchange messages with her daily,The New York Times reported.On WeChat,Xiaoice is an official account.After following it,users can start text-based conversations with Xiaoice.
“Her incredible learning ability was why people loved to talk with Xiaoice,”Liu Jinchang,a researcher at High-tech Research and Development Center under the Ministry of Science and Technology,told China Daily.Apart from her ability to identify photos and send emojis (表情符号) in conversations,Xiaoice gains 45 percent of her knowledge from interacting with users,China Daily reported.
Chatbot programs first appeared in the mid-1960s in the US.Driven by top tech companies,they are becoming smarter and more common.For instance,IBM's latest artificial intelligence program served as an academic consultant at Australia's Deakin University,answering students' questions about course schedules and financial aid.Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa have been used as voice assistants who can read news,play music and even make jokes for their users.
These programs are expected to move beyond smartphones,into televisions,cars and living rooms,The New York Times pointed out.However,it may take decades before scientists develop a “Samantha”,the advanced chatbot seen in the fiction film Her.In the film,Samantha sparks a romantic relationship with her user played by US actor Joaquin Phoenix.Many viewers were enthusiastic about this fantasy of virtual soul mates.

B
When asked about happiness,we usually think of something extraordinary,an absolute delight,which seems to get rarer,the older we get.
For kids,happiness has a magical quality.Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved.
In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes.Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement,love and popularity.I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.
In adulthood the things that bring deep joy—love,marriage,birth—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss.For adults,happiness is complicated.
My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”.The more we can enjoy what we have,the happier we are.It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends,the freedom to live where we please,and even good health.
I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday.First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself.Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing,which I love.When the kids and my husband came home,I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.
Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don't think that my grandmother,who raised 14 children,had much of either.She did have a network of close friends and family,and maybe this is what satisfied her.
We,however,with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area,have turned happiness into one more thing we've got to have.We're so self-conscious about our “right”to it that it's making us miserable.So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success,without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier.
Happiness isn't about what happens to us—it's about how we see what happens to us. It's the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative.It's not wishing for what we don't have,but enjoying what we do possess.
【语篇解读】 幸福是什么?随着年龄的增长,童年、少年、成年、老年……幸福不会一成不变,时间会默默改变一切。但是真正的幸福不是在于我们身上发生了什么,而是在于我们如何看待已经发生的一切。
5.As people grow older,they .
A.feel it harder to experience happiness
B.associate their happiness less with others
C.will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness
D.tend to believe responsibility means happiness
A [细节理解题。通过第二、三、四段的描述可知,儿时的梦想很简单,青少年时幸福的概念就换了,而成年时幸福就变得复杂了,因此随着年龄的增长,人们发现体会幸福越来越难了,故选A项。]
6.What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 5 and 6?
A.She cares little about her own health.
B.She enjoys the freedom of travelling.
C.She is easily pleased by things in daily life.
D.She prefers getting pleasure from housework.
C [推理判断题。根据第五段中的内容可知,作者说越享受自己拥有的,我们就会越幸福;第六段中作者用自己的体验叙述了作者经历的小小的幸福的时刻。因此可推断作者很容易因生活中的一些小事而感到幸福,故选C项。]
7.What can be inferred from Paragraph 7?
A.Psychologists think satisfying work is the key to happiness.
B.Psychologists' opinion is well proved by Grandma's case.
C.Grandma often found time for social gatherings.
D.Grandma's happiness came from modest expectations of life.
D [推理判断题。根据第七段中说奶奶没有快乐的休闲时间,也没有令人满意的工作,但奶奶却有家人和朋友的密切的联系网,因此奶奶也很幸福。由此可知奶奶的幸福来自对生活的朴素的期盼,故选D项。]
8.People who equal happiness with wealth and success .
A.consider pressure something blocking their way
B.stress their right to happiness too much
C.are at a loss to make correct choices
D.are more likely to be happy
B [细节理解题。根据第八段中的内容,因为有那么多的选择、有想成功的压力,我们很多人把快乐变成了比我们所拥有的更想要的东西。而那些把幸福和财富以及成功等同起来的人,太过于看重自己拥有幸福的权利了,故选B项。]
