Five Happiness Secrets For Tough Times

 Sonja Lyubomirsky, an author, has researched the science of happiness for years. Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts of happiness throughout the day.

61. ________________

 “You could spend a lot of time thinking deeply,” says Lyubomirsky. “But that just makes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and affects your self esteem. Your relationships will suffer and your job performance will suffer.”

 Get rid of pessimism. One of the most effective ways to cope when things are difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy. “What can I learn from this? Times are tough, I’ve been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids, adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills.”

62. ________________

 Now more than ever we need each other to survive. Lyubomirsky found that doing good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier. Think of practical, everyday gestures that can make someone’s life a little bit easier. For example, Lyubomirsky says, “Maybe now many of us can’t afford to take a cab to the airport, so offer to give a friend a ride.”

63. ________________

 You don’t need an expert to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness. Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid’s needs can weigh down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on caring for your loved ones.

 “I was at a psychology conference where an expert was talking about the effects of this economy on families and how parents can’t afford to buy their kids luxuries like toys anymore,” says Lyubomirsky. “But what they don’t realize is that kids don’t care about toys — what they care about is parents being grumpy and taking it out on them.”

64. ________________

 “If you find a happy person you will find a project,” says Lyubomirsky. “Happy people all have goals they care about.”

 Commit yourself to a project – whether it is a business you want to start or a dance you want to learn. But it’s also important to remember to be flexible in these times. Don’t get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting your goals. Adopt and change!

 “If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,” says Lyubomirsky. “Or you might have to learn a whole new skill for a new job.”

65. ________________

 When times are tough, it’s easy to skip your regular workouts in favor of mopping in front of the TV and eating a bag of chips. Your thinking is “I have more important things to worry about right now than looking good.”

 But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC (Tender Loving Care). It will go a long way in boosting your happiness. “Even if you can’t afford to go to the gym,” Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home.”

It is required that you ____ at six.

A. will arrive            B. arrive             C. arrived               D. would arrive

An Israeli law banning too skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013.The law,approved last March in Israel,requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5 for three months before a fashion show.That means a woman who is 68 inches tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.

“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,” said physician Adatto.“Underweight models,” he explained,“can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny.”

But some critics in this country say it is misguided,focusing on weight instead of health.They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry.“I think it’s an approach that isn’t going to work.” said eating disorder expert Susan Ice,who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.

But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized.He said.“I realized that only legislation (立法) can change the situation.There was no time to waste; so many girls were dieting to death.”

However,the efforts to regulate models,weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.

Still,folks including Ice say theres no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with.“Certainly I don’t believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders,but it makes it harder,” she says.“It’s a difficult recovery environment,worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal.”

5. One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is       .

A. to change the working conditions of models

B. to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders

C. to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness

D. to lower the chance of skinny models’ death

6. In the opinion of the critics,the law won’t succeed because        .

A. it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit.

B. the fashion industry is much too influential.

C. it doesn’t create a healthy working environment for models.

D. it doesn’t provide a proper approach that can work well.

7. What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation?

A. Being interviewed by a reporter.

B. Establishing his fashion model agent.

C. Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model.

D. Seeing a model die from eating disorders.

8. According to the passage,the new Israeli law banning skinny models is          .

A. practical    B. reasonable

C. acceptable    D. argumentative

An Australian companySmart Car Technologieshas developed a system that lets drivers know when they're speeding. When the technology becomes commercially available(可利用的),it could help overspeed drivers avoid tickets and also save lives. The company that developed the product hopes to persuade Australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobiles.

The productcalled Speed Alertlinks real­time location data and speed obtained with the help of GPS to a database of speed limits stored in a driver's PDA or mobile phone. The setup of the product does not need to be connected to a car's speedometer. In factit is entirely convenient. It will also work with newer phones and PDAs that have built­in GPS receivers. If a driver exceeds the speed limitthe speed is shown and an alert sounds.

Michael Painean Australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultantwas employed to analyze the product. He told Live Science that his colleagues in the road safety field are “very enthusiastic”about what they're now calling “intelligent speed alert”Other researchaccording to Paineshows that 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve speeding. There is also a potentially controversial future use“Since the system is so convenientit would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alert device when driving”Paine said.“The system even has the ability to record speeding violations(违反)so parents can monitor their teenage drivers.”

The product will soon go on sale in Sydney.

32. What's the purpose of the new product?

ATo inform us of the new car system.

BTo limit certain drivers to safe driving.

CTo popularize the built­in car system.

DTo introduce some improvement in cars.

33. The second paragraph mainly talks about       

Athe functions of GPS in cars

Bhow the product works

Cthe project of the built­in product

Dwhy the system becomes popular

34. Which of the following is TRUE of Speed Alert according to Michael Paine?

AMost of the traffic deaths can be avoided.

BThe product will not be available for adults.

CThe system will excite some teenage drivers.

DSpeeding violations can be easily found out.

35. What can be the best title of the passage?

ASpeed Alert and Its Future Use.

BProgress in Car­making Science.

CNew In­Car Device against Speeding.

DWarning for Adventurous Drivers.
