I’ve long believedthat positive living isn’t about being optimistic every minute of every day. That kind of permanently happy state can’t be the goal, because it’s impossible to achieve.

It turns out that psychological research finds true happiness comes from authentic positivity, and authentic positivity comes from emotional flexibility.

Being flexible emotionally means being open to the full range of emotional experiences, including the challenging ones like anger, disappointment and sadness. Emotional flexibility means being able to shift behaviors and mindsets to meet different situational needs, and adapting when circumstances change.

However, emotionally flexible people are not chameleons (变色龙) whose outlook changes based on which way the wind is blowing. Instead, emotional flexibility is a skill that helps people judge the complexities of daily life, and stick to their deeply held values.

I’ve learned a new word that I’d like to share with you: Eudaimonia (幸福感). Eudaimonia is the opposite of hedonism (享乐主义), the idea that happiness comes from the constant pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain. Eudaimonia, by contrast, encourages us to pursue meaning and authenticity, growth and honest joy. Both are philosophical approaches to happiness, and recent psychological thought is leaning toward eudaimonia as a more

sustainable, satisfying model.

Eudaimonia was first mentioned by Aristotle, who got the term from the Greek word “daimon,” which means “true nature.” Tome, walking a positive path means accepting that we each have positive true nature and permanent goodness. What we learn from the concept of eudaimonia is that we are best equipped to realize this nature when we are emotionally honest and flexible. 4. What is the author’s belief? A. People should live alone. B. People can’t always be happy. C. People can’t always achieve their goals. D. People should pursue true achievements.

5. What do enmotionally flexible people commit themselves to? A. Their strongly believed values. B. Their different needs. C. Permanent happiness. D. The pursuit of hedonism. 6. How can people gain eudaimonia according to the author?

A. By being honest to others. B. By changing true nature.

C. By keeping realstically optimistic. D. By pursuing pleasure constantly. 7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. What is the meaning of eudaimonia? B. What should we do to keep positive? C. How can we keep happy forever? D. Why can’t people be happy all the time?

C

A wife’s level of education positively influences both her own and her husband’s chances of having a long life, according to a new Swedish study.

In the study, researchers from the Swedish Institute for Social Research inStockholmfound that a woman’s level of education had a stronger connection to the likelihood of her husband dying over education. What’s more, they discovered that a husband’s social class, based on his occupation, had a greater influence on his wife’s longevity(长寿) than her own class.

“Women traditionally take more responsibility for the home than men do, and, as a result, women’s levels of education might be more important for determining lifestyles－for example, in terms of food choices－than those

of men,” say Srs. Robert Erikson and Jenny Torssander of the Swedish Institute for Social Research inStockholm.

The results show that a husband’s level of education does not influence his longevity, but that men with partners who had quit studying after school were 25 per cent more likely to die early than men living with women holding university degrees. In turn, those married to women with university degrees were 13 percent more likely to die early than those whose wives had post-graduate qualifications.

According to the researchers, a woman with a good education may not marry a man who drinks and smokes too much or who drives carelessly, and men with such habits may not prefer highly educated woman. Drs. Erikson and Torssander also suggest that better-educated women may be more aware of what healthy eating and good health care consist of.

The findings suggest that education has a huge impact on how long and how well people live. It also reflects social factors, since educated individuals usually have better jobs, which allow them to afford healthier diets and lifestyles, as well as better health care.

8. In this passage the author intends to ________. A. present the results of a study

B. encourage women to get higher education C. analyze the relationship between education and life D. discuss why women usually live longer than men 9. A woman with higher education is likely to ________. A. teach her children well

B. earn more money than her husband C. marry a man without many bad habits

D. choose a husband with a higher degree than hers

10. A wife’s education has more effect on a family than a husband’s because ________. A. women make more sacrifices to their families than men do B. most women have higher degrees than their husbands C. most men marry women with higher degrees

D. women have a leading role in the home life of most families 11. We learn from the passage that ________.

A. a man with a lot of education lives longer than one with little B. educated wives tend to choose healthy lifestyles for their families

C. highly-educated women don’t marry uneducated men

D. a man’s longevity depends on not only his wife’s level of education but also his own

D

Texas has been one of the most restrictive gun-rights states in America.Thanks to a new law,however,the state will be one of the most relaxed,to the degree that police are discouraged from even asking about someone's guns. And if they do, they may not have much power to do anything if the person refuses to show a license.

To be sure, the law is strict in its own way,offering a model for regulation. Under the law, open-carry citizens have to be licensed, a process that includes safety and shooting tests. They also have to show no prior psychological problems, and they have to be at least 21 years old.

It is true that gun violence dropped sharply after restrictive laws were put in place in countries like Great Britain and Australia. However,the US public seems more interested than ever in weapons and the power they convey,despite gun control groups' concern over the increase of violence. Most states in America have steadily expanded gun rights since the end of a 10-year assault(攻击)weapons ban in 2004. Black Friday this year saw the biggest gun cache(贮存)ever purchased in one day.

Considering those trends,there's a heated debate about whether the new Texas law is a model piece of legislation(立法)for a changing America,or a walking disaster just begging for trouble. As the law doesn't provide any punishment for those who refuse to show a license to a police officer, critics fear that officers may find it tough to handle potentially deadly situations. After all, armed citizens will no longer be considered suspicious, even though a lot of people might be alarmed by the sight. Most police in Texas have been told to not engage gun carriers unless they are doing something questionable or appear drunk.

For sure,New Year's Day will be an exciting one for Texas gun owners. What's not yet known is how the rest of Texas will respond.

12. All of the following are required in the new Texas law for open carry EXCEPT A. age limit B. mental condition C. online registration D. gun-operating skills

13. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? A. The reason for putting forward the new Texas law. B. The present situation of gun possession in America.

C. The impact of the assault weapons ban in 2004. D. The inaction of the US government as to gun control. 14. What do critics think the new Texas law will probably lead to? A. Heavier workload for policemen. B. Disrespect for officers. C. Lack of trust among citizens. D. Difficulty in crime prevention.

15. What is the author's attitude towards the new Texas law? A. Negative. B. Cautious. C. Indifferent. D. Approving.
